Take On Me (Acoustic)

DON'T BE TOO NICE
Lauretta Tagli 

Lyrics

There’s a part of me 
that wanted to leave

And another part 
that wanted to stay

And make everything 
okay
again

But my friends kept on telling me
They kept on telling me to


Use your head
Don’t be too nice

Don’t back down
or forget this advice

You gotta know your worth
Stand on that line

C’mon now
Baby have some pride    


You knew
how much I wanted
your love

You knew
you had me wrapped
around
around
around

But that voice inside
that never lies

it said you know you got to


Use your head
Don’t be too nice

Don’t back down
or forget this advice

You gotta know your worth
And stand on that line

Come on now
Baby have some pride    


Stories winding through your mind 

don’t look much like me

I think it might be time for you 

to take responsibility


Use
your head

Use
your head

Use
your head

Use
your head

You got to
Use your head
Don’t be too nice

Don’t back down
or forget this advice

You gotta know your worth
stand on that line

Come on now
Baby have some pride

Don't Be Too Nice [Lauretta Tagli]

a Love Unbroken

Ballad of the Millennium Falcon

Luke
May you always find peace on the roads you travel,
and may your heart always hear the music in the wind.
Life isn’t a race, it’s a ride.  
I’m proud of the rider you are.
I love you always.
-Dad




Cracked white line under amber sky,
Twilight arrives, it’s beauty's disguise.
Pocket of songs, and tank full of time,
Wheels spinnin’  faces grinnin’  emotion aligned
Pulse and breath of stone, my spirits at home.

Wind in my hair, haven't got a care,
Rhythm and ride, great place to hide.
Time on these wheels, now that is what heals,
Feel what feels, your heart reveals 
All on this ride.

Shifting twilight under whispered gold,
Wheels roll story told
Ribbon of road threaded the scene,
Hands on the bars, minds in a dream.
Murmur in a language old,
my heart is consoled.

Wind in my hair, haven't got a care,
Rhythm and ride, a great place to hide.
Time on these wheels, now that is what heals,
Now Feel what your heart reveals 
All on this ride.

Energy builds under fading sky,
Riding this road is sorrow’s demise
Tires write poems and winds advise,
Only the motion, only the grace,
Only the rider remembers the place.

Wind in my hair, haven't got a care,
Rhythm and ride, a great place to hide.
Time on these wheels, now that is what heals,
All on this ride.

Feeling what feels, you heart reveals
All on this ride
All on this ride
All
On
This
Ride

All on this ride!

Playing and writing music for 35 years- time to think about retirement and getting out there to play with it!
