There Oughta Be a Law

You walked through the door and the dollars hit the floor
Am I gonna make a fool of myself tonight, I just might
If I take another look I looked for refuge in this place
Now its gone beyond your face
Do I have to weather this by myself
Tonight I just might
Then I take another look

There oughta be a low
Against somebody 
Looking like that

The situations getting mean and I'm looking at a fling
If you think I'd be putty in your hands tonight
Ahh you may be right
If I take another drink
I wanna take you to my room
I wanna play you like a tune
But I wont let you get the best of me
Tonight
But that’s all right
Cause I could give in with a wink
I'm not half as tough as you think

There oughta be a low
Against somebody 
Looking like that

There Oughta Be a Law

                                             The next only one



You know sometimes
You know exactly what’s gonna happen
But you gotta do it anyway
It’s like baby I know we’re gonna crash
But I gotta be on that ride when we do
I gotta take that ride
Cause I’ve been out here thumbing for a long long time

I know and don’t know what you have in store
Never felt nothing like this before
I’ll know the moment has arrived 
Ooh when you put it in drive
It’s like a cross country trip without a cigarette
Hey baby are we are we there yet 
Isn’t this where you tell me I’m your next only one
I gotta be your only one
I gotta be the next only one

I know and don’t know what you have in store
I only hope that it’s hard core
I’ll know the moment has arrived
Ooh when I put it in drive

The Next Only One

                                                    Ostinato




It really was a while ago I think the last millennium
That doesn’t mean the words are lost cause I recorded all of them
Ostinato beside the sea
In that bungalow is where I need to be 
When you come to your senses and you remember me

Now everybody makes mistakes I’m sure we’ve made at least a few
But if we didn’t mess up love what would songwriters do
Ostinato beside the sea 
In that bungalow is where we need to be
When you come to your senses and you remember me

I really don’t, I really don’t, I really don’t
I really don’t know
How many songs I need to write
Before I write the one that lets go
Ostinato beside the sea
In that bungalow is where we need to be
When you come to your senses and you remember me
You remember me
You will remember me

Ostinato

Since You’ve Been Gone

Don’t bat your eyes and smile at me
Cause I remember every fundamental idiosyncrasy
Now don’t you try to throw me no curve
Cause I've been practicing and now I've finally got the nerve
To tell you what I've been thinking for a long time
You left a lot of wear and tear on my fuel line
But if you wanna know the truth
It’s been a whole lot better

Since you’ve been gone
A little lonely late at night
But its been a whole lot better
Since you’ve been gone
I see the bait, but I don’t bite 
Cause it’s been a whole lot better since you’ve been gone

A lot a times I thought I would try
But the man in the moon he don’t ever lie
He said you only get just what you deserve
Don’t bother beaten round the bush I’m giving you the word
It’s not the same song that shine in the moonlight
I want to hold you but I remember what you feel like
And if you wanna know the truth it’s been a whole lot better

Since you’ve been gone
A little lonely late at night
But its been a whole lot better
Since you’ve been gone
I see the bait, but I don’t bite 
Cause it’s been a whole lot better since you’ve been gone

Since You've Been Gone

The Last One to Know

Now here I am again searching our old photograph
Looking for that special place where dreams still come true
I said what I said and I aint taking nothing back 
It just helps me keep pretending, I’m not in love with you

Been hookin’ up with loneliness in a brand new way 
The colors back in my face but I’m still a shade of blue
I did what I did and that’s all I'm gonna say
It wont help me to admit that I need you

Baby if the truth has turned to lies
And I cant believe my eyes
Maybe there is nothing left for me to see
If there’s a happy ending make it so
If not then let love go
But whatever happens please don’t let me be
The last one to know

Here I am again staring down the telephone 
I'm not one to tie it up why cant you get through
It sure rings loud when you're listening all alone
This call could change my luck but its not you

The Last One to Know

Other Side of Loneliness

I wonder if you ever wonder about 
The path we chose to live without
That special thing between you and me
That always ends up, in every memory
I could be out of my head, in more ways than one
And never know
But if your loves all dressed up, and if your hearts, got no where to go

Then meet me on the other side of loneliness 
Don’t say there’s no such place 
I know it does exist
Don’t tell me you forgot that night we caught a glimpse 
In the middle of, our first and last kiss

Sometimes in love, you never know
Did it just escape or did you let it go
Nobody’s telling but I always knew
There would come a time, it would come down to you
You could be out of your head, in more ways than one
And not think so
Baby my love’s all dressed up, and my broken heart, has got no where to go

So meet me on the other side of loneliness
Don’t say there’s no such place
I know it does exist
Don’t tell me you forgot that night we caught a glimpse
In the middle of, our first and last kiss

The Other Side of Loneliness

This Party's Far From Over

The moon is setting still… Soon the sun will be rising
This morning brings a new.. kind of socializing
I know it seems as though… the guest of honor is missing
But that wouldn’t be the case… if we would only listen

This party, this party, this party… is far from over
This party, this party, this party… is far from over
In fact, it’s just getting started

The moon is setting still… soon the sun will be rising
There’s something inside for you
This morning brings a new… kind of socializing 
It’s not what you say.. it’s what you do
I know it seems as though… the guest of honor is missing
He will be along in time
But that wouldn’t be the case… if we would only listen
Don’t forget to read the signs…

This party, this party, this party… is far from over
This party, this party, this party… is far from over
In fact, it’s just getting started

This party is far from over…

This Party if Far From Over

Veronica Electronica

She paints what you can’t find
Composing with the colours of her mind
Her riffs are so sublime
Science is art simply redefined

Veronica… Veronica… Veronica Electronica

So let the music play
What her body wants to say
Her mind controls says stay
Don’t let the words get in the way…

Veronica… Veronica… Veronica Electronica

She’s the tech savvy type 
The sort of girl that might
Stylishly edgy on her device
She’s in possession of, all the latest tech treats
Her history’s a blue
Her hearts her signature
She falls in love in 7/4 time
She’s everything… you want her to be…

So let the music play 
What her body wants to say
Her mind controls says stay 
Don’t let the words get in the way

Veronica… Veronica… Veronica Electronica

We’re in Luck

Lets take a good look a this world again
Time’s tearing us apart
I lose respect and you don’t hear the end
Till it sounds like the start
Lets take a good look at this kid again
Content with rolling the dice
Don’t lose the concept of this game we’re in
Without thinking twice.   Cause – 

We’re in luck - I see a pretty face or two 
We’re in luck - my hearts a wreck, but it’s not through
We’re in luck - we’ve all been frozen some
But I can’t be the only one
Who feels this way

I lost a big bet, just the other day
Or maybe it was last year
A handful of promises, strangled it away
And right out of your ear
And you wanna know why

Too many people- ringing on my phone
Too many people – leaving me alone
Too many people – got the golden ring
And they don’t know anything – but

We’re in luck- I see a pretty face or two 
We’re in luck- my hearts a wreck, but it’s not through
We’re in luck- we’ve all been frozen some
But I can’t be the only one
Who feels this way

We're in Luck

Just Friends

Lately I’ve been wondering if you knew
Why we carry on the way we do
Talk those hands right of the clock
If you need to once more
But you must be crazy. You must be crazy.

If you think that we’re just friends

Now I love the way you search my eyes
Like you need some kind of alibi
And if you feel a bit uneasy
It’s no more than I do
But you must be crazy. You must be crazy

It you think we’re just friends

Just hold me till I’m proven wrong
Isn’t that how we’ve been all along

Bow the bottom line is maybe
Nothing is gonna change at all
Cause we’re just looking, looking at a judgement call
And in the middle of the night, if I still can’t get it right, I know you're Gonna be there 
So you must be crazy. You must be crazy

It you think that we’re just friends.

Just Friends

You Need a Woman

Baby I heard someone chose to leave
Breaking that thing you wear on your sleeve
Some people like to go round and round
They will get it right, when they get it right

Maybe you should re-evaluate
Line love up, shoot the arrow straight
Ain’t no particular mood I’m in
I’m just telling you, what I’m telling you

You need a woman, to hold you tight
You need a woman, to tuck you in good at night
You need a woman, to take your little heart for a whirl
You need a woman, to lay lovin on your skin
You need a woman, someone to rub it in
You need a woman, not a girl

Some people think they need time to think
Some people miss love livin on the brink
Baby if we keep going round and round
We wont get it right, even when we get it right

I don’t know why today can’t be the day
I’m pretty sure that you feel this way
Ain’t no particular mood I’m in
I’m just telling you, what I’m telling you
