... LYRICS .....
where's that girl ?
where's that girl ? 
We were top of the pile 
me and my baby
the golden mile 
was making me lazy
the heavens would shine
the dice were rolling my way .
Now Avril was divine
the pick of the girls 
how she loved the wine 
the diamonds and pearls
the light in her eyes 
had already blinded mine ..
....Then one day 
my fortunes took a fall
lady luck she didn't see me at all
the heavens went dark
Nothing was going my way .. 
.. .. oh no no no         .... .. 
where's that girl ?
the dice have gone wrong 
where's that road ?
that isn't too long 
now i know 
where i have got to 
strong ...
where's that girl ?
where's that girl ? 'where she go'  ?
where's that girl ? 
where did my baby go ?

LYRICS ..
check it out ....
kick it out ... 
can you handle the kill ?
is it making you pine ?
are we justified matter ?
are we falling behind ?
can you handle the difference ?
us and them soil 
two towers will topple 
for only one wall ..
..we are data 
we are lying 
we are danger 
er .. er .. er .. can you handle the kill ?
let's keep on pushing 
blindly ahead 
don't let it roll backwards 
keep it outa the red .. 
can you handle the difference ?
us and them soil 
two towers will topple (again and again)
for only one wall .

THE KILL (1) WEAR EAR GOGGLES :-)

a song of angst , a statement on today's circus of a wired planet 
(or parts thereof) 
WEAR EAR GOGGLES !! PLAY LOUD !!
Lyrics 
mama gathers apples 
as the sun go down 
hoping there’s enough 
to go around

gather all the kids together
 in a bunch 
line them up and tell them 
there’s no money for lunch..

you know they’re cutting down the trees 
for our own good
then try to sell us firewood

waitin at the station
just minutes after you 
Train's already gone
so i missed that too 

suddenly the fishes are 
dying in the sea 
it's coming for you 
it's coming for me 

you know they’re cutting down the trees
for our own good
then try to sell us firewood

sitting on a hillside 
watching them grow
clouds are  rolling by
do i think they know ?
 
middle of town
tryin' to cross the road
it's looking kinda pretty
looking overload

you know they’re cutting down the trees
for our own good
then try to sell us firewood ..

it's getting hot 
we gotta put it out
the flames are high 
we gotta put them out 
it's in our bones 
we gotta put it out
it's in our homes 
we gotta put it out 
FIREWOOD !!

Stay The Course II

LYRICS ROUGHLY ..  i wandered off lol and didn't use some . 
She's my eastern girl ,
in her eastern world
turning mountains into sand
with a wave of her hand 
my eastern girl ...
she's my eastern dream
makes me see serene 
from sadness to a joy
nothing can destroy
my eastern girl 
my eastern girl ..
.. and when the sunrise comes
   i look her way 
   and when the sun go down 
   i've lost my frown
    when she's around
my eastern girl .. 
(came and changed my world 
darkness into light 
and her light blinds my eyes 
my eastern girl ..

"whispers in the night
i hear them
whispers in the dark
i hear them
whispers in the dark
call out to me
whispers in the dark
tell me to see
tell me to believe
show me to feel
breathe me to escape
footsteps on the ceiling
immortality
breathe me"

'I SEE' ....  FIRST MIX . :-)

A song i wrote and asked #SarahParadise-Brown to record , to my joy she agreed and re-wrote the melody , adding strings  and she has given the song a new feel and direction . I am amazed !! 
Sarah's voice is a JEWEL and i am so pleased with what she has done to give the song new melodies, harmonies and strings . I actually said to her 'you've made it your own' :-)
            Thank you so much Sarah . Peace . :-)
lyric >
Saw a photograph of you
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters
and reach the other side
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise
to shed a little light on things

all you need now
is a hand to hold
all you need now
is a friend
is a friend ..

Got a feeling you could be
all i'll ever need to see
the sun on the waters
chasing the screams
that taint my dreams

got a feeling deep for you
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise
to shed a little light on things

all you need now
is a hand to hold
all you need now
is a friend
is a friend ..

instrumental ..

i saw a photograph of you
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters
and reach the other side
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you
something no one else can steal
i'll wait for sunrise
to shed a little light on things

all i need right now  
is a hand to hold
all i need now  
is a friend
is a friend
all i need now is a friend
