1. Lucky Victims
We are all Victims...
Some of us are just lucky
Lucky Victims
Victims of circumstance
Victims of life down here on this planet
Trying to find romance
Lucky Victims
Victims of love’s rock’n’roll
Kidding ourselves we don’t see the illusion
The illusion of control
Nature’s playthings
Trying to make sense of it all
It’s a kaleidescope of love and hope
Where will the pieces fall?
Lucky Victims
Victims of no evil god
We’re all alone on the face of this planet
And love is our lightning rod
Thor has thrown his hammer across the heavens
But we are without fear
For even shrouded in the cloak of darkness
Love is our lightning rod
Life is a battle with gravity
Life is a war on time
And you can face the fight of your life
Just to get [See things as they are] to the bar
And see things as they are
[as they really are]
There you will find the best of your life
Is the rest [Hearts crossed by no evil star]
of your life
Crossed by no evil star
[no evil star]
Lucky Victims
Victims of circumstance

The illusion of control

Trying to make sense of it all
It’s a kaleidescope of love and hope
Where will the pieces fall?
Nature’s playthings [nature’s playthings]
Trying to make sense of it all
[Tryin to make sense of it]
It’s a kaleidescope of love and hope
Where will the pieces fall?

2. Bad Hair Life
You hate yourself
You hate yourself
You only do it cuz you hate yourself
Bad hair life
Bad hair life
Bad hair life
Bad hair life
The way of the pear
The way of the pear
It’s all gone pear
With your way-bad hair
Chorus
You’ve hurt yourself
You’ve hurt yourself
You’ve hurt yourself
Once again you’ve gone and hurt yourself
Chorus
Every day,
The same old song
It’s all gone wrong
It’s gone pete tong
Chorus
Now you, you need to forgive yourself
Or life will overtake you
Watching you is messing with my hair myself
You make me wanna make you
You make me wanna shake you
You hate yourself
But you can’t see
I hate you too
Cuz you’re just like me
Chorus
3. Busy Being Beautiful
Like a little rock n’ roller
Busy being beautiful
Off the charts adorable
You’re a dream
Printed and punched
I love it when you glide it on
I love it when you glide it on
Glide…
Cloudminin’ for the sliver linin’
Still wearing the clothes
you wore the night before
Sippin’ on longnecks
Cloudminin’
Pink as a pistol
Lettin’ your life unspool
You’ve been busy
So busy
Busy being beautiful
Skills to pay the bills
Too wrecked to
Get the check
Daisies in your hair
The big nowhere
Right there
Busy being beautiful
Busy being beautiful
Like a little rock n’ roller
Busy being beautiful
Off the charts adorable
You’re a dream
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
I love it when you glide it on
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
I love it when you glide it on
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
I love it when you glide it on
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
Hotdamn you did it again
I love it when you glide it on
Hotdamn you did it again
Love it when you glide it on
I love it when you glide it on
Glide… glide
Cloudminin’ for the sliver linin’
Cloudminin’ for the sliver linin’
Glide… glide
Cloudminin’ for the sliver linin’
Glide… glide
Cloudminin’ for the sliver linin’
Glide… glide
4. People Can Change
People can change
They say that people can change
Everybody must change
But they can’t change me
People can change
I’ve seen again and again
But I stay just the same
They can’t change me
Change me (change me)
Change me (change me)
You might have been an angel
Where others have failed
You could have prevailed
Lifted Me High
Change me ooh (change me)
Change Me
The story proceeded
Too fast for us to enjoy
All the love that we needed
People can change
They say that people can change
Everybody must change
But they can’t change me
People can change.
(Ooh people, people people)
I’ve seen again and again
But I stay just the same
They can’t change me
Change me (change me)
Change me (change me)
But we are just estranged
See, a few grains of sand
Fall from my hand
To end the last verse
Change me ooh (change me)
Change Me
The very last letter
I’ve finally changed
but is this a change for the better?
Keep changin’ you keep keep changin’
Keep changin’ you keep keep changin’
Keep changin’
y’all keep changin’ now… e.t.c.
5. Enemy Of Love
Enemy, you’re an enemy
Enemy of love
Enemy, get away from me
Motherfucking enemy of love
The enemies of love are all around
Where their hearts should be
Be empty spaces
The empty vessel makes a hollow sound
Traces of disgrace
Upon their faces
Enemy, you’re an enemy
Enemy of love
Enemy, get away from me
Motherfucking enemy of love
Be gone, in God's name go
And don’t delay
Get out of here I said
Come on let’s roll
I’ll have to change your regime
If you stay
Cause when you key my car
You key your soul
Enemy, you’re an enemy
Enemy of love
Enemy, get away from me
Motherfucking enemy of love
I shall champion love
And not pretend
My love of love
Destroy you in the end
Enemy, you’re an enemy
Enemy of love
Enemy, get away from me
Motherfucking enemy of love

7. If I Don’t Make It
If I don’t make it
I hope that somehow, somewhere,
someone hears my music
And they can use it
If I don’t make it
Cuz I can’t take it
So listen to The Song Of Life
Like I’ve always tried to
There’s something for you
In everything I did, and even didn’t do
Things meaning maybe not quite
what I meant them to
And maybe meaning all the more
As I prepare to leave these shores
Even small things throw long shadows
When the sun is setting
Remember me - please remember me
Tho I know there must
be laughter and forgetting.
So if I lose it
I hope that somehow, somewhere,
someone hears my story
And they can use it
If I don’t make it
So it’s not wasted
A simple song of joys that I have tasted
There’s something for you
In everything I said, and even didn’t say
Things meaning more tomorrow
than they did today
Meanings maybe magnified
As I am leaving with the tide
Even small things throw long shadows
When the sun is setting
Remember me – please remember me
Tho I know there must
be laughter and forgetting
For there’s a fire on the horizon
And it’s calling to me
Calling to me
Even small things throw long shadows
When the sun is setting
Remember me – please remember me
Tho I know there must
be laughter and forgetting
If I don’t make it
8. Ships In The Night
(that should have passed)
Love born on the waves
Always destroys more than it saves
Love born of the deep
Is love to share but not to keep
Borne on the tide
Lived there and died
We’re ships in the night
that should have passed
I was sailing by the compass
You were sailing by the stars
Two ships in the night
that should have passed
Our course was set
since first we met
The die was cast The voyage, long
We’re ships in the night
that should have passed.
They tied me to the mast
But still I heard your siren song
We’re ships in the night
Too close and ever closer
Fast, too fast and ever faster to disaster
And we went faster and faster and
Love born on the waves
Always destroys more than it saves
Love born of the deep
Is love to share but not to keep
Borne on the tide
Lived there and died
We’re ships in the night
that should have passed
I saw the storm across the skies
as first I cast me eyes above
We’re ships in the night
that should have passed
And that first night we spent together
should have been our last, my love
We’re ships in the night
two distant points of light
Which, spite the oceans might
forever brighter grow
We’re ships in the night
too close and ever closer
Fast, too fast and ever faster to disaster
And we went faster and faster and
Love born on the waves
Always destroys more than it saves
Love born of the deep
Is love to share but not to keep
Borne on the tide
Lived there and died
9. Last Year’s Valentine
Last year’s valentine
Last year’s valentine
So fine, I see your silouhette
I simply can’t forget
Last year’s valentine
So near, a little souvenir
Around this time of year
Hanging around like last summer
February in July
I try, it’s hard
To write another card
To write another line
Hangin’ around, hangin’ around
You keep hangin’ around
Like last summer
Hangin’ around like last year
I’ve found to my cost
That love can be lost
Though heady like last summer’s wine
Losing last year’s valentine
Last year’s valentine
Last year’s valentine
Hangin’ around, hangin around
You keep hangin’ around
Like last summer
Hangin’ around like last year
I’ve found to my cost
That love can be lost
Tho heady like last summer’s wine
Losing last year’s valentine
10. Ain’t Namin’ Names
I ain’t namin’ names
But I think somebody loves me
Shoot me down in flames
But I think somebody loves me
Oh-oh I can’t say who
No-o I won’t say who
So-o I’ll say no more
‘Cause I can’t be sure, but here’s a clue
I think that someone’s you!
I ain’t namin’ names
But I think somebody loves me
Shoot me down in flames
But I think somebody loves me
With those lie-machines
I might spill the beans
‘Cause I’m under stress
And it’s just a guess, but here’s a clue
I think that someone’s you!
Ain’t gonna put the finger on
Even when the pressure’s on
In all I say and all I do
Ain’t gonna give the game away
But I think it might be you
I ain’t nothing at all
But I think somebody loves me
Riding for a fall
But I think somebody loves me
There ain’t much to trust
I might bite the dust
But I hope it’s true
I ain’t playin’ games
Ain’t namin’ names
But I think that someone’s you!
Ain’t gonna put the finger on
Even when the pressure’s on
In all I say and all I do
Ain’t gonna give the game away
But I think it might be you!
11. Till The Wheels Come Off
I’ll love you till the wheels come off and then
I’ll love you till the wheels come off and then
You’re such a bonnie lass
I’ll love you when we’re out of gas
We’ll fill her up and grab a coke
And we’ll remember not to smoke
I’ll love you till the wheels come off and then
I’ll love you till the cows come home and then
I’ll love you till the cows come home and then
I’ll keep you safe from harm
When we are down upon the farm
I’ll milk the cows and make some cheese
You’ll charm the birds down from the trees
I’ll love you till the cows come home and then
I love you more than rock an’ roll.
I love you out of all control
My God I love you heart and soul
I’ll love you till the credits roll
More than rockin’ more than rolling
Way beyond any more controlling
It’s a heart and it’s a soul thing
More than rockin’ more than rolling
Way beyond any more controlling
It’s a heart and it’s a soul thing.
I’ll love you baby when the chips are down.
I’ll love you baby when the chips are down.
And when it all goes pear
We’ll still have our love to share
I’ll be there when the moon is upside down
To the other side of town
I love you in a special way –
Gets more special every day
And if you said “just go away”
I’d love you anyway
Love you more than rock an’ roll
I love you out of all control
My God I love you heart and soul
‘Till the credits roll
More than rockin’ more than rolling
Way beyond any more controlling
More than rockin’ more than rolling
Way beyond any body’s controlling
It’s a heart and it’s a soul thing
Till the the credits roll
To the other side of town
Till the moon is upside down
Baby when the chips are down
Till the cows come home and then
Till the wheels come off and then
12. Let’s Put The Future Behind Us
Let’s put the future behind us
Tomorrow don’t have to be war
The future is trying to remind us
To love like it’s yesterday once more
Let’s put the future behind us
Tomorrow may be made for some
Might be the future won’t find us
And tomorrow may never come
So don’t let’s cause ourselves
unnecessary drama
Let’s get the Zen…
Pharmaceuticals, just help yourself
Don’t harm yourself or alarm yourself
With your instant Karma…
Or call the Dalai Lama!
Let’s put the future behind us
Tomorrow don’t have to be war
The future is trying to remind us
To love like it’s yesterday once more
Let’s put the future behind us
Tomorrow may be made for some
Might be the future won’t find us
And tomorrow may never come
You’re pretty cool but right now
you should be calmer
Outrageous fortunes arrows, slings ‘n things
Won’t harm a
Well-protected person
Got my arm around you
Givin’ it Karmarama…
Baby you’re a charmer!
Let’s put the future behind us
Tomorrow don’t have to be war
The future is trying to remind us
To love like it’s yesterday once more
Let’s put the future behind us
Tomorrow may be made for some
Might be the future won’t find us
And tomorrow may never come
