Scent of a Good Man
©2014 Lucy LeBlanc, Joanne Stacey, Heidi Milla Love, Roddy Love


Chorus:
The scent of a good man
Smells like love to me
It’s more than chemistry
Almost heavenly
His skin next to mine
Of there’s just nothing like
The scent of a good man. 

Somethin’ bout the coffee in the monrin’
Flapjacks fryin’ in the pan
That really gets my juices flowin’
Smells better cooked by a man

 Chorus

Fresh cut grass and sawdust on his flannel
Brings on an afternoon delight
Can’t get enough of his aroma
Day after day….night after night
 
         Chorus

Bridge:
Gasoline, Old Spice, Camp fires, whiskey and leather
Gun powder, Crowned Heads, Thoroughbred
Makes me go wild

SOLO (1st 1/2 of chorus)

His skin next to mine
Of there’s just nothing like
The scent of a good man. 
Of there’s just nothing like
The scent of a good man. 




The Scent Of A Good Man

Slow...worktape only
© 2014…..Dave Stanley Daoust, Lucy LeBlanc, Mat Pownall

Too scared to jump in
But you held my hand
I learned how to swim…and take a chance
With you and Granddad

Endless summers floating on the waves
Your laugh your smile flooding back again

Chorus:
Thought they'd always stay
Long lazy days
Bucket and a spade
All those simple ways
Going slow...oh, oh

Memories of you
Sand in our shoes
Stayed in the water
Till we turned blue
Going slow.....oh, oh


Back at Shelter Cove
Cold September air
Wrapped in this wool coat…and faded scarf
The ones you used to wear

I know you’re here I whisper your name
Can’t believe I’ll never see you again

Chorus:
Thought they'd always stay
Long lazy days
Bucket and a spade
All those simple ways
Going slow...oh, oh

Memories of you
Sand in our shoes
Stayed in the water
Till we turned blue
Going slow.....oh, oh

Bridge,
I miss you 
I miss those days
I hear your voice on the ocean 
And it says
Go slow...oh, oh

Chorus





Slow...this is a work tape only

Unspoken
2015….Maryjane Viejo, Roger Beckett, Michael Nowak, Lucy LeBlanc

5 am....our bed feels cold
But I’m lying next to you
I reach out to pull you in
I'm dying for the truth

You turn away even when you're sleeping
 Guarding all those secrets that you're keeping

Chorus:
Oh oh oh tell me what I need to do
How can I get through to you?
Oh oh oh Trapped inside this space so broken
Here between the words 
Unspoken

There was a time not long ago
I could read it in your eyes
We didn’t need to say a word
Cause your heart would speak to mine.

Now you turn away when you're sleeping
 Guarding all those secrets that you're keeping

Chorus:
Oh oh oh tell me what I need to do
How can I get through to you?
Oh oh oh Trapped inside this space so broken
Here between the words 
Unspoken

Bridge:
Don't let this be the end
Let's turn the page and start again

Chorus:
Oh oh oh tell me what I need to do
How can I get through to you?
Oh oh oh Trapped inside this space so broken
Here between the words 
Unspoken



Unspoken

Sweet Spot
2015…..Michael Skotte, Ray Weaver, Lucy LeBlanc

Sweet tea....you and me
Honeysuckle in the morning breeze
Feeling real….feeling free
Good things fall in place so easily

You’re everything I never knew I always wanted
I never ever would have thought you’d be the one

Chorus:
That takes me to this sweet spot
Just you and me, on and on non-stop
We don’t need a single thing we ain’t got
When we’re together in our sweet spot
Our time to leave the world behind
Is when we’re in our sweet spot

Humming birds…porch swing
No thought of what the day will bring
Laughing….singing
Feeling so blessed about everything

Living in the gift of this sweet stolen moment
In this place you and I call our own

Chorus:
That takes me to this sweet spot
Just you and me, on and on non stop
We don’t need a single thing we ain’t got
When we’re together in our sweet spot
Our time to leave the world behind
Is when we’re in our sweet spot

Bridge.
We both want to make this last forever
And right now this is where we  need to be

Right here in this sweet spot


Sweet Spot

Portage and Main
© April 29, 2015.....John Bowman, Lucy LeBlanc

He learned to play guitar at Kolts Accordion School
With money he earned shovelling icy sidewalks at 40 below
He picked up a red sunburst semi acoustic he bought second hand
His best friend Tommy said "let's play some Beatles"
Before they knew it they were a band.

Seems like only yesterday
But it's twenty years a thousand miles away
From the freezing winds at the corner of Portage and Main

At eighteen he bought a rusted van, flames painted on the side
Despite the duct tape and two bald tires they made it to their gig alive
Each night they played a song or two they wrote the night before
They took turns driving while he wrote the lyrics
Half asleep on the cold van floor.

Seems like only yesterday
But it's twenty years a thousand miles away
From the freezing winds at the corner of Portage and Main

They met Sara at the Copper Queen in Flin Flon
She said I'm a singer came up on stage to sing a song
They loved her voice could hear the crowd cheering on and on
She packed her bags said "Hold on boys. I'm coming along".

Seems like only yesterday
But it's twenty years a thousand miles away
From the freezing winds at the corner of Portage and Main

Their fan base grew they toured through the Prairies to the coast
They signed a record deal got a fancy tour bus then it all went up in smoke
Tommy's back home put his guitar back on the shelf
Don't know where Sara got to
Hope she's singing somewhere else

Seems like only yesterday
But it's twenty years a thousand miles away
From the freezing winds at the corner of Portage and Main

If you listen hard you'll hear my voice
Over the din of the slot machines
Playing my hits from years gone by
Yeah that's me still chasing my dream

Seems like only yesterday
But it's 20 years a thousand miles away
From the freezing winds at the corner of Portage and Main


Portage and Main

Seeking asylum. One young boy’s struggle to find a safe country to live in. 

Across The Border 
© Barry Muir, Lucy LeBlanc

Tegucigalpa is where I used to make my home
From Central Honduras on the run with all I own
This train roof is no place for a 12 year old to be
I'm thirsty and praying for a better life for me 
Across the border
Across the border

I came from nothing living and begging on the streets
When you got nothing to lose, you got the whole world at your feet
This train is slowing down must be El Paso in our sight
All I really want is a safe place to sleep tonight
Across the border
Across the border

They can't send me back
I'll have to stick it out here for days
If you don't have the paperwork
There really is no way

Across the border
Across the border

I hear there's food to eat nobody should feel this way
All the kids are taken care of I heard somebody say
I can see the rows of houses along the river's edge
One day I'm going to get there but for now I'm here instead
Across the border
Across the border

outro...Across the border, there's a better life for me. 
            Across the border....let me lay my head to sleep

Across The Border

a tribute to autumn.....Boots And Sweaters.....written by Barry Muir, Joanne Stacey, and Lucy LeBlanc

Boots And Sweaters

That Old Flag
©John Condrone, Lucy LeBlanc

VERSE
Rounding the corner by Bingham's Hardware store
Three years and nothing's changed since I was here before
And there's that dairy queen where me and Ricky hid
Right after we threw those cherry bombs on top of that old dumpster lid
Across the street is the school where we used to go
The stars and stripes are hangin' halfway down the pole

CHORUS
That old flag is standing lonely
Against the Grey Georgia sky
It keeps speaking to me
And my heart keeps wondering why
It seems like time is standing still
And the years have come and gone
But, that old flag keeps waving on and on

VERSE
Head on down the street beside the railroad track
All those childhood memories are quickly coming back
Down by the river, across that one lane bridge
I just passed that cottonwood where I got my first kiss
Turn down that dirt road that leads to Daddy's home
Up there above the picket fence half way up the pole 

(Chorus)

BRIDGE
Daddy threw his arms around me
Tears welled up in his eyes
He said Ricky won't be coming home this time

CHORUS
That old flag is standin' lonely
Against that grey Georgia sky
Every single word it says
Hits me deep inside
When the battles over and the dust is almost gone
That old flag keeps waving on and on



That Old Flag...

Shades of Dylan
©....Ray Weaver, Lucy LeBlanc

On a frozen New York city street
Fingers cut off of her gloves
Dodging cops and creeps
To play the music she loves

Newsboy cap on the ground
Just a few coins and smokes
No matter how empty it seems
It’s filled up with hope.

                     Chorus:
                      Shades of Dylan
                      A woman on a road many men have walked down
                      Another new morning, a new hard times in New York Town
                      She’ll be just fine, God willin’
                      Shades of Dylan


Her friends are into hip-top
They don’t understand
What she hears in the words
Of some raggedy voiced old man

 “Just Like a Woman” “Blonde on Blonde”
She tucks her violin under her chin
Finds the hidden beauty
in his songs again

 

                      Chorus
          
Bridge:
Standin’ in the hard rain
History repeatin’
Another seeker of the truth
Just outside the Gates of Eden

                         Chorus

Shades of Dylan

Love Me Loud
(c).... LeBlanc / Renaud / Dodson / Helfand

Come here baby 
I’ve been wanting you all day
Longing for the way you say my name
Mmm I wanna be 
Reckless wild and swept away
Baby won’t you take me like a hurricane

Love me loud
Love me strong
Like I might fall off the planet
If I don’t hold on
Bring on the thunder
Turn life down 
Turn me on, turn it up
And love me loud

Drown out everything
Til there’s only you and me
Moving to the beat of two hearts racing
The world will disappear
Fade away without a sound
As we wrap ourselves around this storm we’re making
