Surprise

We recorded this album as the title tells, in Vancouver 1997. The main man at Universal Records, Doug Morris, had personally signed us to the label. Why it has taken twelve years to get this music out, we don’t know… “it’s just the way it goes.”

Never The Bride never give up. We have rescued our music from the vaults of The Armoury where our album was recorded with the late and legendary producer Bruce Fairbairn, who produced colossal platinum selling albums for Aerosmith, Metallica, Bon Jovi, INXS, Kiss and Van Halen. Sadly he died soon after our album was recorded. A great guy who really loved his music and Never The Bride.

The musicians joining Nikki and Been on this album were Doug Boyle on guitars, Trevor Barry on Bass, Frosty Beadle on Drums and additional programming and keyboards from Canadian, John Webster.

Our songs have now been mastered all these years later and brought to you by our own indie label, Lock Stock and Barrel Records.

It takes a woman to make a man
He's got a problem she understands
She knows when to hold him
Knows when to leave
Knows when he's lying
She knows when to believe
Call it intuition
Call it love

Call it love
When you wanna run and hide
Call it love
When he blows your mind
Call it love
When your back's to the wall
Call it love
When it hurts like hell
Call it love

What moves a mountain, what breaks a heart
Just think a minute before you start
It can be hard to handle
No it's not a game
Just when you thought it was safe
Somebody drives you insane
Who's infatuated
Who's in love

Call it love
When you wanna run and hide
Call it love
When he blows your mind
Call it love
When your back's to the wall
Call it love
When it hurts like hell
Call it love

First you wanna run
Then you wanna hide
Uh - oh
Too late, he's blown your mind

Call it love
When you wanna run and hide
Call it love
When he blows your mind
Call it love
When your back's to the wall
Call it love
When it hurts like hell
Call it love

Call It Love

Written by Catherine Feeney and Nikki Lamborn

I’m standing on the outside looking in
And all I see is sadness in your eyes
Could it be there’s something on your mind tonight
Is she worth the pain
I can see your suffering

If only I could change the situation
If only I could help you understand
Is it such a crime that she should love again
Put yourself in her shoes
You think it’s only you
But she’s hurting too

If you cry out for love
Sooner or later
An answer will come
If you cry out for love
Sooner or later
The tears will be gone

It’s only lonely hearts that end up broken
Now look at yourself and change your point of view
Babe you gotta fight to keep alive stop fooling around
Pick up the pieces again
And let your new life begin

If you cry out for love
Sooner or later
An answer will come
If you cry out for love
Sooner or later
The tears will be gone

You’re not getting any younger,
You’re not gaining any speed
You’re not waking any faster but baby you got a need
You don’t command the situation
You don’t expect the perfect view
You don’t demand the man’s attention
But baby he used to give it to you
Oh, what are you thinking now
Oh, won’t you tell me, tell me, tell me now
Don’t give away your tears and laughter
Don’t give away your body and soul
Don’t give away the morning after
And don’t give away another day
You can’t go on like this forever
Precious time is slipping away
If it’s not now it might be never
Baby there’s a decision to make
And Oh, what are you thinking now?
I want you to tell me, tell me now
Don’t give away your tears and laughter
Don’t give away your body and soul
Don’t give away the morning after
And don’t give away another day
Oh, what are you thinking now?
I want you to tell me, tell me now
I want you to tell me, tell me now
Tell me, tell me,
Tell me, tell me, tell me now
Don’t give away your tears and laughter
Don’t give away your body and soul
Don’t give away the morning after
And don’t give away another day
Don’t give it away…

Don't Give Away

Ooh feel like taking a shot tonight
Where are you

Standing in the shadows,
Ooh do you wanna get out of this place
Come on Satisfy,

Gonna give you my love
Gonna give you my love

Rough And Ready

Written by Catherine Feeney and Nikki Lamborn

Published by Lock Stock and Barrel Music

When you slam the door, I’m ready for war
Looks like I’ve done it again
When you smash your plate ‘cause I’m home too late
You’re acting like a child of ten
And the way that you look when you think that you’ve won
I can’t stand it, someone get me out of here

When you’re off your head and I put you to bed
Spend the night on my own again
So predictable when you try to be cool
But you end up insulting my friends
It’s a game that you play but you play it alone
With your ego, someone get me out of here

Someone get me out of here

It’s been so long, get me out of here
It’s been so long, get me out of here

Say what you want I know it’s a trap and I’m not getting in again
Keep your hands to yourself, you got what you deserve
Gonna end up a lonely, lonely man
It’s insane, how you love and you hate and you lie
I can’t stand it, someone get me out of here

I’m not gonna stand and fight
You can’t keep me here another night
We race for the door, you fall

You can’t touch me now, you can watch me walk away
You can’t touch me now, you can watch, watch me walk away
You can’t touch me now, you can watch me, watch me walk away
You can’t touch me now, you can watch me, walk away


Someone Get Me Outta Here

Betty's shining shoes out on the porch again
Doing mama's chores they seem they'll never end
I been daydreaming bout a better way
To make betty's day

Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool

Betty wears her boyfriends jeans
Well he don't need 'em
He ran away it's been five years since last she seen him
I got a strange feeling he'll come back some day
To make betty's day

Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool

Well I hear Betty cry at night
Don't cry girl it's gonna be allright
Some day soon you're gonna find a way
Could be tomorrow it could be today
Don't cry Betty c'mon
He's gonna come back
He's gonna steal you away
Oh Betty come on
Betty come down
Betty come down
Betty come down

Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool

Just have one day for you

It's five in the mornin'
Where the hell are you
Suppose you're out drinking again
You ever heard of the telephone
Well a good woman
Should never be left alone crying
And how many times
Can I take it
Over and over again
Yes, I think about leavin' you
I don't know
I don't know when

I'm a loser
Let me tell you how it feels
I'm a loser
Always have been always will
Be a loser in love with you

I hear a song on the radio
Someone out there feelin' like I feel
Yeah well I do everything that I possibly can
But man you don't appreciate the woman I am, do you?
Well, screw you!
And how many times can I fake it
Over and over again
I need, I need a little tenderness baby, baby yeah
I need a friend

I'm a loser
Let me tell you how it feels

Johnny Moke was always late for school
He couldn't read but he's nobodies' fool
Time and time again he'd break the rules
And who cares when he swears

Michelle Tom was always giving in
She couldn't fight so she could never win
She stays in bed all day and drinks her gin
And who buys when she cries

No smoke, no fire
Mind that child
You gotta teach him well, keep him together
No smoke, no fire
Mind that child
You gotta teach her well, keep her together

Angie baby where did you go wrong
You knew the tune but couldn't sing the song
I hope found someplace where you belong
Goodnight, you sleep tight

No smoke, no fire
Mind that child
You gotta teach him well, keep him together
No smoke, no fire
Mind that child
You gotta teach her well, keep her together

You can change the way he walks
You can change the way she talks
But you can't change them for another sister or a brother

No smoke no fire
Mind that child
You gotta teach him well, keep him together

No smoke no fire
Mind that child
You gotta teach her well, keep her together

Ooh yeh.
Teach them well
Keep them together

Don't walk away from me
Without so much as an explanation
I see the fire in your eyes
You just say it's my imagination
Where you going, who you running to,
Does she know just how to soothe you baby, soothe you

I've made you laugh, I've seen you cry
Fought the anger the desperation
I'm more than qualified to see you try
To make the best of the situation
Where you going, what you gonna do
Is she strong enough to hold you baby, hold you

No one loves you like I do
No one cares like I care about you
And like no one could ever take my place
You're my saving grace.

Stop right there I have to know
Is it love honey or infatuation
And when the passion fades and dies
I'll be here I'll still be waiting
Come to me I'll take care of you, I'm gonna take care of you
Cause nobodies gonna love you baby like I do, I do

No one loves you like I do
No one cares like I care about you
And like no one could ever take my place
You're my saving grace.
Yes you are, yes you are
You're my saving grace

Say your name at the door come inside settle down
I'll be filled with your presence and then
Let me sing you your song like it's never been sung
And it's so good to see you again
Lila, Lila

Will you look just the same like I want you to
And will I be the same thing for you
Have the years let you age in an elegant way
And I know I've been lost without you
Lila, Lila

I'm coming home
I'll see you tonight
Safe in my arms
I'll hold you tonight
I'm coming home tonight

When you sent me away I took memories
So the break in my heart couldn't mend
Then I lived with the pain and the pleasure of you
I thank God that you love me again
Lila, Lila

I'm coming home
I'll see you tonight
Safe in my arms
I'll hold you tonight

Money can't buy you happiness
Says an age old adage
Sent to impress upon the weaker sex

And your money can't buy you love any more
Save it in your money store
And watching it growing more and more
And more and more

What you gonna do when it doesn't matter anymore
What you gonna say when it's all too late
When you open up your eyes
When the light has died
When you hesitate
When it's all too late

Guided by voices who more or less
Talk of how you're destined
But nevertheless you lived at my address

If you're blinded by voices over and over again
Tell me how the story ends
Will you live your life for them
Your so called friends

What you gonna do when it doesn't matter anymore
What you gonna say when it's all too late
When you open up your eyes
When the light has died
When you hesitate
When it's all too late

I'll be watching you I swear it
Our love is much too deep to share it
Above all loves yours I cherished
So much so I won't forget it

What you gonna do when it doesn't matter anymore
What you gonna say when it's all too late
When you open up your eyes
When the light has died
When you hesitate
When it's all too late

When It's All Too Late

Written by Catherine Feeney and Nikki Lamborn

No doubt about it
You talk a lot
And when you do I just pretend I can't hear you no more
I can take or leave you
I. huh, don't need it
But when I think about it

Nothing's worth losing you hair for
Nothing's worth going to jail for
Don't do nothing if you're not sure
Nothing's worth nothing much any more

So what if you believe me, I lie a lot
The things we do for love
I'd had to figure out a way to get more
Step into my. step in
Ah ya ya ya ya ya yah.  I need it
'Cause when I think about it

Nothing's worth losing you hair for
Nothing's worth going to jail for
Don't do nothing if you're not sure
Nothing's worth nothing much more any more

I'm a fantasy junkie
I've chosen to be here
I can leave if I want to
I can leave if I want to
I can leave if I want to

Nothing's worth losing you hair for
Nothing's worth going to jail for
Don't do nothing if you're not sure
Nothing's worth nothing much any more na na no no

Nothing's worth losing you hair for
Nothing's worth going to jail for
Don't do nothing if you're not sure
Nothing's worth nothing much!

Look at me now trying to undo
All those chains that hold you

You're everywhere
Everywhere I go

I've tried living without you
Look at me now
It's all I can do to
Stop myself from falling
I'm not over you

You're everyone I know
You're everywhere
Everywhere I go
You're everyone I know
You're everywhere
Everywhere I go

And I just don't get it
And I just don't see
And I just can't stand it
When I think that I know better

It's hard to say some things sometimes
No matter what I'll be with you
I can't make you love me
I can't make you see

You're everyone I know
You're everywhere
Everywhere I go
You're everyone I know
You're everywhere
Everywhere I go

And I just don't see
And I just can't stand it
And I don't need this pressure

And I can't live like you do
I'd be cheating myself
And then I don't get it
I just don't get it

You're everyone I know
You're everywhere
Everywhere I go

I've lost you now I know
But you're everywhere

I've lost you now I know
But I can't let,

Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you
Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you

You could send me walking in the pouring rain with a hole in my shoe
I would stand for days on end on a crowded train that takes me to you
I would dice with death and danger
I would kiss a stranger if you wanted me too
Wouldn't even bat an eyelid if you stripped me naked
So the jokes on you

Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you
Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you

I could dive for pearls and treasure but it wouldn't measure what I feel for you
I could hold my breath for hours, even stop the powers for a minute or two
I would make a rich man cry then I'd steal for you what I couldn't buy
I would take another lover
It could be your mother
I'd do it for you

Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you
Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you

I believe in love you see
I'd do it for you
Would you do it for me
I believe in love you see
I'd do it for you
Would you do it for me

Ooh - I'd do it for you

I would serve you holy water
Buy a flying saucer, go tripping with you
Do the extraordinary though it might be scary
I'd go through it for you
I would take you out tonight
I would make you feel all right
Ooh my baby,
Baby baby baby now
I'd do it for you

Ooh ooh ooh -  make you feel allright
Ooh ooh ooh  - I'd do it for you
I believe in love you see
I'd do it for you,
Do it for me
I believe in love you see
I'd do it for you,

I'd Do It For You

Written by Catherine Feeney and Nikki Lamborn

You don't need a doctor to tell you what you feel
You don't need a preacher man to tell you when to kneel
First you gotta have the will to find out there's a way
You can't face tomorrow 'til you learn to face today

You might say that confidence is something you aint got
You just need a little help but you don't need a lot
Look into the mirror and tell me what you see
Don't become a prisoner of who you want to be

Who do love
What do you need
Walk right on up and take it
Who do you love
What's gonna be will be
I love you already
Come see about me

You don't want no beauty queen to help you make your bed
What you need's a little me to rearrange your head
When you finally realise just what it is you need
Ooh you've got satisfaction guaranteed

Who do love
What do you need
Walk right on up and take it
Who do you love
What's gonna be will be
I love you already
Come see about me

Come on down you don't wanna lose me
You ain't got the right to be choosey
It's too late to say you can't use me
who do you love

Show me your imagination
We could have the right combination
Come on down and don't keep me waiting
Who do you love

Who do love
What do you need
Walk right on up and take it
Who do you love
What's gonna be will be
I love you already
Come see about me

I should know what I'm talking about but
Sometimes I open my mouth
And out comes a word that I can't spell
Am I fooling myself
I can't tell
Well well well.

I don't know where this comes from but
Sometimes when I sing my song
Up comes a guy that I don't know
Says he's like to see into my soul .yeh
Says he loves my rock 'n' roll

Open my eyes so I can see
I wanna know who's looking at me
Open my eyes so I can see
Open my eyes so I can see

I take care 'bout the way I look but
Each time I open a book
Every single girl staring back at me
Got a fake tattoo
And a dress size 3.huh
Open my eyes ah-ah
Where does that leave me
Open my eyes ah-ah

Open my eyes so I can see
I wanna know who's looking at me
Open my eyes so I can see
Open my eyes so I can see

Out comes a word that I can't spell
Should I throw it in my wishing well
Up comes a guy that I don't know
Says he'll get me on the radio
All you beautiful people
Looking at me
What do you see
When you're looking at me

Open my eyes so I can see
Who in the world got a thing about me
Open my eyes so I can see
Open my eyes so I can see

Open my eyes so I can see
I'm looking at you, you're looking at me
Open my eyes so I can see
Open my eyes so I can see

Open my eyes

GOING TO CALIFORNIA
Written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant,

From "Encomium: A Tribute To Led Zeppelin" which earned Never The Bride their first gold disc in 1995.

Robert Plant was stunned as Nikki and Been performed their own arrangement of his song.

Spent my days with a lover unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me theres folks out there
With love in their eyes and flowers in their hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
I'll be a queen I'll find a king;
We'll play guitars and cry and sing.
La la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin to find a lover whos never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself its not as hard as it seems.

You're Not Alone

Written by Catherine Feeney and Nikki Lamborn

How could I know you'd leave me
How is a fool to tell
When it's for real or when it's a game
I should've known
oh well.

Into your world I tumbled
Further than I could fall
Head over heels and out of my depth
I gave it to you
My all

You were ruthless and beautiful with a
Tender heart but oh so cool and a
Not afraid to break the rules
So you broke the heart of this simple fool

I could've stayed forever
Lost in my sense of time
Where nothing else mattered it has to be said
I was yours
You were mine

You were ruthless and beautiful with a
Tender heart but oh so cool and a
Not afraid to break the rules
So you broke the heart of this simple fool

Ooh baby
We could've had it all
Me an' you baby
Were you scared of it all
To frightened to fall

Ruthless and beautiful with a
Tender heart but oh so cool and a
Not afraid to break the rules
So you broke the heart of this simple fool

But you were Ruthless and beautiful with a
Tender heart but oh so cool and a
Not afraid to break the rules
So you broke the heart of this simple fool

Why did you break the heart of this simple fool

Betty's shining shoes out on the porch again
Doing mama's chores they seem they'll never end
I been daydreaming bout a better way
To make betty's day

Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool

Betty wears her boyfriends jeans
Well he don't need 'em
He ran away it's been five years since last she seen him
I got a strange feeling he'll come back some day
To make betty's day

Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool

Well I hear Betty cry at night
Don't cry girl it's gonna be allright
Some day soon you're gonna find a way
Could be tomorrow it could be today
Don't cry Betty c'mon
He's gonna come back
He's gonna steal you away
Oh Betty come on
Betty come down
Betty come down
Betty come down

Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool

Just have one day for you

Betty's Song (Live At ULU)

Written by Catherine Feeney

She knows about girls she knows about boys
She can take the heat but she can't stand noise
She knows you know, she knows you know

If you need a role model could she be your guy
She wears sheer stockings with her pure silk tie
She knows you know, she knows you know

Everywhere you go she's there
So if you can't behave beware.
She knows you know,
It's just the way it goes,
She knows you know

She's out of this world you'll sometimes hear
But this is no sci-fi she's getting nearer
She knows you know, she knows you know

If you're out in the middle of a deep dark night
And you come across this woman be polite 'cause
She knows you know, she knows you know

Everywhere you go she's there
So if you can't behave beware.
She knows you know
It's just the way it goes
She knows you know

Who's gonna fall this time
Your guess is as good as mine
Who's gonna walk into her web
Who's gonna wish they'd stayed in bed

She knows you know, she knows you know
It's just the way it goes
She knows you know, she knows you know

You knows that she knows, it's just the way it goes
She knows you know, she knows you know, she knows you know

This is no sci-fi this is the real deal
This is your world this is my world
And there's all kinds of everything out there
So get out there and get it while you can

She knows you know

Let me breathe
Cause I'm drowning in your shadow
Let me leave
Respect me do not follow me believe
I can make me own tomorrow
Let me breathe

Does it make
You feel good cause you own me
Does it take
Your puppet strings to hold me
How I ache
As you're trying to control me

Let me breathe
Let me dance 'till my shoes cry
Let me laugh let me be
Let me dance
Let me choose my life
Let me climb the living tree

Picture this
When you wake up in the morning
And I kiss
Your sorry ass goodbye
What will I miss
There's nothing I can think of as I leave

Let me dance 'till my shoes cry
Let me laugh let me be
Let me dance let me choose my life
Let me climb the living tree

It's five in the mornin'
Where the hell are you
Suppose you're out drinking again
You ever heard of the telephone
Well a good woman
Should never be left alone crying
And how many times
Can I take it
Over and over again
Yes, I think about leavin' you
I don't know
I don't know when

I'm a loser
Let me tell you how it feels
I'm a loser
Always have been always will
Be a loser in love with you

I hear a song on the radio
Someone out there feelin' like I feel
Yeah well I do everything that I possibly can
But man you don't appreciate the woman I am, do you?
Well, screw you!
And how many times can I fake it
Over and over again
I need, I need a little tenderness baby, baby yeah
I need a friend

I'm a loser
Let me tell you how it feels

Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you
Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you

You could send me walking in the pouring rain with a hole in my shoe
I would stand for days on end on a crowded train that takes me to you
I would dice with death and danger
I would kiss a stranger if you wanted me too
Wouldn't even bat an eyelid if you stripped me naked
So the jokes on you

Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you
Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you

I could dive for pearls and treasure but it wouldn't measure what I feel for you
I could hold my breath for hours, even stop the powers for a minute or two
I would make a rich man cry then I'd steal for you what I couldn't buy
I would take another lover
It could be your mother
I'd do it for you

Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you
Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you

I believe in love you see
I'd do it for you
Would you do it for me
I believe in love you see
I'd do it for you
Would you do it for me

Ooh - I'd do it for you

I would serve you holy water
Buy a flying saucer, go tripping with you
Do the extraordinary though it might be scary
I'd go through it for you
I would take you out tonight
I would make you feel all right
Ooh my baby,
Baby baby baby now
I'd do it for you

Ooh ooh ooh -  make you feel allright
Ooh ooh ooh  - I'd do it for you
I believe in love you see
I'd do it for you,
Do it for me
I believe in love you see
I'd do it for you,
Would you do it for me

Ooh ooh ooh -  I'd do it for you

"Lilac Wine" is a song written by James Shelton (words and music) in 1950. It was introduced by Hope Foye in the short-lived theater musical revue, Dance Me a Song. The song has since been covered by many famous artists including Nina Simone, Elkie Brooks, Jeff Buckley, and Miley Cyrus.

The lyrics form a narrative in which the narrator recounts his/her heartache at losing their lover and taking solace from wine made from a lilac tree. In short, the song focuses on the blissful oblivion achieved by becoming intoxicated. The performer usually sings the song in a drunken manner in keeping with the lyrics.

"Lilac Wine" has been covered by a number of artists including Eartha Kitt (1953), Judy Henske on her debut, self-titled album (1963), Nina Simone on her album Wild Is the Wind (1966), Elkie Brooks (1978) and Jeff Buckley on his album Grace (1994). The Jeff Buckley version was used as background music in the 2008 French film Tell No One. In 2010 it appeared on the Jeff Beck album Emotion & Commotion with vocals by Imelda May. The Argentinian alternative rock band Panza has also covered "Lilac Wine" on their 2007 album Pequeños Fracasos (Little Failures). Other more recent recordings include both a studio and live version by Katie Melua on her albums Call Off the Search (2003) and Live at the O² Arena (2009). It was released as a single in 2010 by American singer Jordyn Jackson.

The only artist to have major chart success with the song was Elkie Brooks in 1978 and the song remains closely associated with her, especially in the UK and Europe. It was later included on her 1981 album Pearls.
