Big Nights Bright Lights (bpm=162) (Lyrics/Music: Andy Gupta (c) 2012))

Sent a demo out to the promo man
Said he'd gonna do what he can
When you don't know somebody at the top
You never get to know where it's gonna stop

Sorry guys I've got to tell you 
You didn't make the grade
There's this other rocking band
The choice was ready made

So you get back to running all over town
Looking for a place to get your music down
You put with a hundred half baked deals
No matter what they pay what you feel

Our love of music will never die
Our heads will never drop
We're gonna leave all that behind
We're going to reach the top

Chorus:

Big nights ----open up for us
Bright lights--will be shining down
Hold tight------going all the way up
Yeah we're gonna rock this town
Big nights-----open up for us
Bright lights---shining down on us
Big nights you can't touch us now

Making nice and dealing with people all day
Just to get a gig just to get a date
Hanging onto words don't mean a thing
Thinking of the breaks they're gonna bring

It's a hard world out there
It's easy to get cut
You have to be on your toes
You have to mind your if and buts

Chorus
Big nights ----open up for us
Bright lights--will be shining down
Hold tight------going all the way up
Yeah we're gonna rock this town
Big nights-----open up for us
Bright lights---shining down on us
Big nights you can't touch us now

STOP THE ROT  ( © 2014 Stephen Smith )

Stop the rot, can't stop the rot. x4

We care too much, it fuels our rage.
Enraging our beliefs so we cannot see what is at hand.
We are too trivial, we tow the line,
But we need to agree to disagree this is not right.

The scales tip out of sight,
Austerity has turned off the light.

Stop the rot, can't stop the rot. x4
(and don't we know it)

Where is the fight, we were once known for?
The whores of greed rape our land (it's) obscene we're left to pay.
We can't see the wood, for all the trees
I can see the theme in the scheming machine it's so passé

It's time for you all to wake up,
instead of acting like you've run out of luck.

Stop the rot, can't stop the rot. x4
(and don't we know it)

V1
Friends I have gained more I have lost
Lovers now parted left counting the cost
Adventures once promised by minds in their prime
Are stories in letters from much happier times


I still watch the news but don’t believe what I hear
A world full of madness hatred and fear
We could all recover but I don’t like the odds
Corruption approved by celebrity gods

V2
When I recall faces of people I’ve known
They seem so unreal another life time ago
Names now escape to the tip of my tongue
This mountain I climb is a hill for the young


I still watch the news but don’t believe what I hear
A world full of madness hatred and fear
We could all recover but I don’t like the odds
Corruption approved by celebrity gods

Chorus
I’m done here, Nothing to give
No reason to drag it out, No reason to live

I’m done here, Feeling too old
Getting world weary, In this land for the bold


V3
The face in the mirror is looking down at me
It's counting all the cracks from the damage that it's seen
There have been better days not too far behind
Never worry about what's ahead that would break your tiny mind


I still watch the news but don’t believe what I hear
A world full of madness hatred and fear
We could all recover but I don’t like the odds
Corruption approved by celebrity gods

Chorus x2
I’m done here, Nothing to give
No reason to drag it out, No reason to live

I’m done here, Feeling too old
Getting world weary, In this land for the bold

I'm Done Here

Magical Misery Tour (Lyrics © 2010 Donna Devine)

Intro 
In this circus of love
I’m the ringmaster
Hold on to your seat
This ride can go faster

(v1)
Come into my sideshow
I say with a grin
My magical misery tour will begin
I’ve sold the last ticket
That’s all for today
The others have left
Now it’s your turn to stay

Bridge
The magic’s in my loving
And the night I’ll spend with you
The misery’s in my leaving
But others are waiting too

(v2)
Move closer, my lovely
Step right over here
No need for alarm, you’ve nothing to fear
I think you have secrets
You’d like me to know
So let’s dim the lights
And get on with the show

Chorus
Let me take you, take you, take you
On my magical misery tour
I’ll break you, break you, break your heart
But you’ll only want me more
One ride on my painted pony
Will open heaven’s door
Let me take you, take you, take you
On my magical misery tour

(v3)
First we'll ride the merry-go-round
Then the tilt-a-whirl
For one mad moment you’ll be the right girl
The simulator
Will reach such a height
Before we wipeout
At the end of the night

Bridge
The magic’s in my loving
And the night I’ll spend with you
The misery’s in my leaving
But others are waiting too

Chorus
Let me take you, take you, take you
On my magical misery tour
I’ll break you, break you, break your heart
But you’ll only want me more
One ride on my painted pony
Will open heaven’s door
Let me take you, take you, take you
On my magical misery tour

Crooked Man - Music/Lyrics Glummert/Scunziano ©2012

(V1)
I had once known - a crooked man
And he was dealt - a crooked hand
He always walked - a crooked mile
But all the while, he grinned his crooked smile

(V2)
Oh how his words would move you so
Writing of places he would love to go
He loved to write - of the plight of men
Just with his pen, his ever-faithful friend

(Chorus)
Crooked man... crooked man
He was the best friend - you could ever have
Nature betrayed him - But he got by with what he had
With his crooked smile...
He'd walk the crooked mile.

V3
We met for coffee, on a Saturday
Solved all the world's problems... from a small cafe'
I still picture him in his favorite chair
I wish I'd known he'd never be back there...

Solo

(V4)
In this crooked world - there's no straight or true
No morals or conscience - to guide the few
But one crooked man, he stayed dignified
He spoke of the truth, until the day he died

(Chorus)
Crooked man... crooked man
He was the best friend - you could ever have
Nature betrayed him - But he got by with what he had
With his crooked smile...
He'd walk the crooked mile.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
 
music/arr:      Michael Woodford
lyrics/vocals: Josephine Morkeberg
 
Come and get me
Come and get me

There are customers
Ready to eat someone like you
With a grin on your face
You're just being cheeky to me

I can see the foam in the air
But you don't care
I can see the chef looking angry
But you don't care

Come and get me

Catch me if you can, new world
I just don't care
Catch me if you can, in this modern world
You'll never get hold of me

Come and get me
 
I lean over the tank
Of your universe
I can see the bubbles
Forming letters on the surface

So strange

Catch me if you can

How great it can be for someone like you
To be in my world
I look every day
Through the glass and up through the clear blue sky


I will make a purchase
So hard it just aint worth it
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you dare
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can

Catch Me If You Can

There’s a kind of sadness that clings to me
A kind of loneliness you bring to me
An upside down smile you gave to me
and a middle finger up that I’m giving you back

[chorus]
I say: fuck this! I say: screw that! 
it didn’t work so live with it
it broke me down, it made me frown
but it didn’t take away this little princess crown

There’s a kind of bitch that takes you down
a kind of person that drops your soul
But I throw my fist in the air and 

[chorus]
I say: fuck this! I say: screw that! 
it didn’t work so live with it
it broke me down, it made me frown
but it didn’t take away this little princess crown

[bridge]
Sadness punched it in the face
loneliness blew it up
sorrow kicked his ass
life dealt with it! (and)

[chorus]
I say: fuck this! I say: screw that! 
it didn’t work so live with it
it broke me down, it made me frown
but it didn’t take away this little princess crown

Masquerade (Woodford/McAndrew) (copyright 2013)

V1
Nothing's ever what it seems
This is no Middle Earth broken dream
No lessons learned from what has been
As they hide behind their smoke screen
It's clear those who appear to win
With truth they struggle to begin
Bold countenace wearing thin
Their masquerading stories spin

Give it true cadence
Denial and avoidance
Gloved puppetmasters
With their toys in hand
Rolling in decadence
Acted out through pretence
Never saying what they mean
How they poison the land

Expose the Masquerade
Negotiate a fair trade
Where the play of lies made
Masquerade Masquerade

V2
Now take the chance to make things right
As with your conscience fuel the fight
Or have you still no appetite
To grapple with the daylight?
The pattern set from days of yore
As history displays before
Upon the fields of evermore
Deception ensures your tongue's still sore

V3
It's hopeful soon your bubble burst
As all need fuel to feed their thirst
Your crime ranks high among the worst
The front you wear is not your first
As surely it won't be your last
Your dancing spell so clearly cast
You had a ball and had a blast
Although It's being broken way to fast
