Hook

It doesn't matter what I say
As long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks

[Chorus]
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow
Was that...

[Chorus]
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin
To see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee
Of love
Sure, but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I've tried - well, no, in fact, I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three-minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of your cities
To the ground - I've found
I will not mess around
Unless I play - then hey
I will go on all day hear what I say,
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck because...

[Chorus]
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Playing my song are ya?

BTW... they're at The Tradewinds
this Tuesday. However, since I have made them all so far,I will probably just go to Bar 9. It never gets old

Mountains Win Again

I pick up my smile put it in my pocket
Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it
Men are not to cry so how am I to stop it
Keep it all inside don't show how much she rocked ya

Ooh can you feel the same
Ooh you gotta love the pain
Ooh it liiks like rain again
Ooh I feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
The mountains win again

Dreams we dreamed at night were never meant to come to life
I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand
This time in my life I was hurt enough to care
I guess from now on I'll be carefull what I share

Ooh can you feel the same
Ooh you gotta love the pain
Ooh it liiks like rain again
Yeah I feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
The mountains win again

Pocket is no place for the smile anyway
Someday I will find love again will blow my mind
Maybe it will be that love that got away from me
Is there a line to write that could make you cry tonight
Yeah can you feel the same
Ooh you gotta love the pain
Ooh it liiks like rain again
Ooh I feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
Ooh the mountains win again





Funny how ev'rything was roses
When we held on to the guns

Write To Me Here

Oh, I believe in yesterday's
got nothing for me

Actually, I was gonna post this song, since I've been singing it a lot lately...but Blues Traveler won out. Bar 9, huh? Figures...I'll never be able to get there. LOL :)

The Space Between

You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I’ve got all the time for you love

The space between
The tears we cry is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more
The space between
The wicked lies we tell to keep us safe from the pain

Will I hold you again

These fickle fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today
We waste the hours with talking talking
These twisted games we’re playing

We’re strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild eyed beast you be

The space between
The wicked lies we tell that hope to keep us safe from the pain

Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster
You know you went off like the devil in the church
In the middle of a crowded room
All we can do my love
Is hope we don’t take this ship down

The space between
Where you smile and hide
That’s where you’ll find me if I get to go

The space between
The bullets in our fire fight
Is where I’ll be hiding waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room

The space between
Our wicked lies is
The hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
Cause we’re walking out of here
Right out of here
Is all we need dear

The space between
What’s wrong and right
Is where you’ll find me hiding
Waiting for you

The space between
Your heart and mind
Is the space we’ll fill with time

The space between
The tears we cry is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between
Our wicked lies where we hope to keep safe from pain

The space between
The space between
