''''''    SOCIAL CLIMB    ''''''
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

We know - that you think you're a Princess
They know - what you're all about
And we know - that you think you're above them
And we know - that not one of them cares !

Yeah! We know - that there's always a motive
They know - just why you always call
And we know that you're yearning - they can see it
And we know just what's on your mind !

Sitting pretty - Little Missy
You don't really get it - do you ?
Your social climb is what it's all about !
But is it all it's cracked up to be - your life ?

You can fool some of the people
We know it's only some of the time !
'Cos they know exactly what you're thinking
And you know what you want every time !

Sitting pretty Little Missy 
You don't really get it do you?
Your social climb is what it's all about
Is it all it's cracked up to be - your life ?

::  STOWAWAY  ::

A winter take off 
A summer touch down
Leave it all behind 
Oh! A new world
With old dreams
A new time ... so it seems

Stowaway 
Inside information - never seen or found
Hide away! Its only in the mind...in the mind

It's simple to understand - when eyes get a clearer view
Your soul can heal in time...

Brave adventure 
Broad horizons
Everything should change - by now it should change...
A winter touch down - the clouds not lifting
One day it may fade from grey...

Stowaway
Inside information - never seen or found
Hide away! She's only in your mind...In your mind

*** RISE ***

Can you see the dawn arising
Can you see the light inside your mind
Can you feel it ?
Love will never die !

Be majestic like a phoenix 
You can be as golden as the sun
You can reach it
Nothing ever really dies !

RISE 
Shine like the sun
Make real your dreams
Realize it's all just make-believe 
Take time and take space
Shape with your hands
Your life's your own
Your master plan...

The universe it has no corners
There's no boundary 
You are not alone 
Are there edges to the oceans' waves ?

So the grass it may be greener
And the rivers may run clearer
So - How'd you know -
If you can't look to the other side ?

RISE
Shine like the sun
Wishes and dreams
And watching them all come true 
You'll see
That finding your way
Is all that it takes 
If you can wait for them to be...

RISE MAJESTIC 
RISE PHOENIX
YOU CAN BELIEVE IT !

RISE 
Shine like the sun
Make real your dreams
Realize it's all just make-believe 
Take time and take space
Shape with your hands
Your life's your own
Your master plan...

Rise

^v^  HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN  ^v^
---------------------------------------------

Hey Babe!  What brings you here when so many seasons have gone & disappeared?
Thousands of suns & moons have drifted out of touch!
So are you gonna tell me now, we've really changed that much?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high upon a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

We all have a story and we've found our way
But are we still the people that we once were, today?
So tell me, tell me now - what, what do you see?
Do you see the angel you always saw in me?!

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high up on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

Pretty boy you've got silver hues now!
Distinguished eyes distinguish truth...
Did your wings grow wide?
Did you fly again?
Did you touch the sky - did your dreams transcend?

What's your poison Babe? What have I missed?
Do you set the stage to show your hand or will we reminisce?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous - can we hold on to that time? 

Davenport/Moir

High On A Mountain

:::   THAT ONE THING   :::

When you first met he couldn't believe what you said!  - No Way!
It's not that often, that he's left with nothing to say!  To say - Touché !!
And who said that lightning would never strike twice in one place?

Now he's got you - 'Cos he gets you
And that's one thing you've never felt before.

Next time you met you were so animated - so great! So great!
He knew in an instant that you'd turn his life round some day. One Day, in some way.
And who says that lightning would never strike twice in one place?

Now he's got you - 'cos he gets you -
And that's one thing you've never felt before!
And with like minds -
Like one kind
That one thing was something after all!

Lion's Drum

Lion's Drum (feat. Chris Church)

Here's an original tune I retracked from a cassette I had from July of 1985.  Hope you like it.  See it on Youtube video https://youtu.be/Y28uUZsTFoY

Hold on to your special things. Hold on to your times.
We have a special feeling, our luminous designs
It's a time for meaning, a time of time
Get ready somewhere, close by, to finally find...

All the weekend nights on the lawn, you stay up til dawn,
Sandy beaches we had fun, still taken in,
By the Summertime Sun

Rainy days go bye with the snow
When the coldness of winter blows
Now it's time daydreaming, should I let you go

cuz It's a sign for feeling, a sign of signs
You have to find a way to see it, to finally find...

All the weekends nights go on, we stay up til dawn,
Shiny beaches we had fun, still taken in,
By a Summertime Sun, Summertime Sun

Copper tans don't hide in the shade , until they glow 
The sinking sun starts leaving, for the evening show
Then it's a time for dreaming,  while life goes slow
You again, are close by, to finally find...

All the weekend nights on the lawn, we stay up til dawn,
Sandy beaches we had fun, still taken in,
By the Summertime fun, Summertime fun...

Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo

Weekend Nights & Summertime Sun

An original inspired by my good friend Will

Lyrics
I've always been waiting, for some kind of possession
I'm a driven kind, that deserves a slight concession

Don't be fooled by my, my inspiration
It comes at a price from, a grand elation (re:GOP)
I'll move around, I'm on the ground, really down

Your lips they glow like, lights in Paris,  let's move on 'til the dawn
I make no promises, but your Will and stones
I'm asking for your sympathy,  for your broken son, this lawless gun

You're so easy, you're soo ee-asy, you're so easy,  you're so fine  (GOP background singers)

We're grabbin' all the cats without permission
Taken them when I want
You can study this bastard's position
but you'll never get what you thought

(The Fake Press)
Ignorance and money
It's all you know
What you gonna do when the world's gonna know

...I've already got the sale
Now I'll make you a good proposition
You stay down there, cuz I'm on a mission
A tremendous four years. No, I can't be done
I'm going for eight,  fore! so I can own the sun!

You're so easy, you're soo easy, you're so ee-asy,  you're so fine
Solo
You're so easy, you're soo easy, you're so ee-asy,  you're so fine
Solo (fade out)

Lyrics / Paroles

Through stormy seas, or clear blue skies
We'll let our love lead the way
I'll be there my love, come and hold me close
And keep me warm, through night and day

My love
I'll be your pillar by day
And your fire by night

Mi amor
I'll be your pillar by day
And your fire by night

Lyrics / Paroles

No more fussing or fighting
Let’s start to help each other
It’s time for giving and sharing
We’re all, all in this together

We, what we need
We need more love
We, what we need is love
We need more love

It’s time to start working
And learn through each other
It’s time for giving and sharing
We’re all, all in this together

We, what we need
We need more love
We, what we need is love
We need more love
