I Like The Way The Sun Comes Up Here

Verse 1

Take me to the edge on the ocean side

I like my eggs on the sunny side

Everyone dies in a homicide
Once in a while you got to pay for the ride

Bridge

Can't we put aside our differences

And listen to, what conscience

We have left

Or have we lost it all in our selfishness

As the rich get richer on the

Emptiness

Chorus

I like the way the sun comes up here
The elements are less inclement
And I fear less my own fears
But I won't claim that I am innocent

Verse 2

I am standing of the ledge of my own life
I wrestle with it with all my mite
Can't live in the darkness every night

Without a way to find the light

Bridge

Can't we put aside our differences

And listen to, what conscience

We have left

Or have we lost it all in our selfishness

As the rich get richer on the

Emptiness

Chorus

I like the way the sun comes up here

The elements are less inclement
And I fear less my own fears
But I won't claim I am innocent

M8

Round here, they don't get my jokes

But that's alright we me and my dog

I really really kinda like these folks

It's like sleeping in a hammock or

Falling off a log

At 9.29

Verse 1

Her father was a soldier

And her mother drank herself

From one boyfriend to another

To try to cure the loneliness

Bridge

But it's hard to do the right thing

When wrong comes natural

Every day there is a tragedy

That scares us all to hell

Chorus

She wasn't bad inside

She had not lost her mind

She just saw things differently
At 9.29

Verse 2

She killed them with her kindness

And put flowers in her hair

Always showed a little more skin

It was the clothes she had to wear

Bridge

But it's hard to do the right thing

When wrong comes natural

Every day there is a tragedy

That scares us all to hell

Chorus

She wasn't bad inside

She had not lost her mind

She just saw things differently

At 9.29

Verse 3

She lay across the front yard

Facing toward the the sky

It was still to light to see the stars

She was headed for the great white light

Rose Tinted Glasses

Verse 1

The news goes unreported

On this side of oops a daisy

You will find him out of sorts

Most days when he is drinking

He imagines her contorted

Like the girl from Circ de Soleil

I can't wait for her retort

When she finds out what he's been thinking

Chorus

Would it not be great, to be the light fantastic

Ignore all their mistakes, even if it's catastrophic

We love it in excess, in extravagance

And like the mother of a great romance

It moves as slow as molasses

Because I like the world and will only look at it

Through

Rose Tinted Glasses

Verse 2

Are all your skeletons jangling

In a way that will make you crazy

Giving the appearance of

Stability, when you're left dangling

The threads are barely held together

With what is left of your soul

Tinted by the strangest colors

A rose is a rose but for you

Take Your Place In The Sun

Verse 1

In the bedrooms of America
There is a spy on the wall
He has one hand on hysteria
And the other on a call

Bridge

Who wrote this mystery [ anyway ]
Who bought your silence?

The irony of ironies

Cost all your innocence

Chorus

50 Shades of Grey,
On her coffee table,
You have been waiting for this day
Ready, willing and able

Take your place

In the sun

Verse 2

In the bedrooms of America

Oh how the mighty fall

Obsessed in her erotica

This art has been restored

Middle 8

A flash of light
In the mind's eye

I sense her fight

To be free

I see her face
In the half light
She appears to be
Satisfied

Hit That Thang

Verse 1

There are 7 seconds left
To try to win the game

And the coach draws up the play

And calls out your name

Bridge

What you gonna do boy

What you gonna do

What you gonna do girl

What you gonna do

Chorus

You gotta hit that thang

Verse 2

You finally got the girl,

To tell you it is time

Can you rock her world

Like it's  2099 [twenty ninety nine ]

Bridge

What you gonna do boy
What you gonna do

What you gonna do girl

What you gonna do

Chorus 2

You gotta hit that thang

There's no pressure on
You gotta hit that thang

There's no pressure on

M8

And Old Mister Hubbard

Sat in his cupboard

Drinking a bottle of rye

Wondering

What would have been

If his hand stayed steady

That night

Verse 3

The whole world watching

From Rio to Tibet

There is no time to think

We don't live to regret

This is the shot that will never be forgotten

That's what the man with microphone said

What you gonna do boy

What you gonna do

You gotta hit that thang!

Magnets

Verse 1

I was hit by a meteor

I suffer from concussion

What you want that pleasure for

Is it all of this or nothing

Chorus

Pulling me this way and pulling me that

Every sucker's grinning like a Cheshire Cat

Something coming over me, something coming over me

Magnets, Magnets

Verse 2

When the French say tricolor

And it's a badge of honor

A mother in Angola

Cries for her forgotten

M8

Everything that we forget

Someone else remembers

They are stuck like a magnet

To the burning embers

Verse 3

I can see the peace in her

It's always worth discussing

Before all the shock and awe

Don't make me want to trust you

This Day Will Be Different

 

Verse 1

I am in the middle of a contradiction

And this love that I have, it is a sweet addiction

Feelings, feelings, that I can't explain

Will you be my girl?

Or is it all too strange?

Verse 2

In times of trouble, will you be alarmed
In the darkness of the night, will you find my open arms

Questions, questions, I try to avoid

Is this armmageddon

Or just another ploy

Bridge

Say what you mean, don't sugar coat it

Don't exaggerate,
Give it to me straight.

Chorus

This day will be different

There's no room left for sentimental feelings

When the booby trap explodes

And the floor is on the ceiling

My heart gets switched to overload

As the clouds and smoke are clearing

I told you that,
This day will be different

Glow

Verse 1

Tired of same old
Same old routine
Think of a place now
You have never been

The same ugly faces
You have to see
Gaze at a statue
And all it's beauty

Bridge

When you wake up today
Why don't you say

Chorus

I am going to take the bull by the horns
What could go wrong
Do something you don't know
And watch yourself
Glow

Verse 2

There is a picture
Hangs on your wall
Of a wide eyed young boy
Who once had it all

And if you should squander
The gift that you got
Or wallow in pity
Like all the have nots

M8

You don't have to jump from a plane
In the sky
Or swim across a great big ocean
All you got to do is try

Sweet Christine

Verse 1

One sunny day, in the middle of May, I was clinging to my dream

That I had a line and the rhythm and rhyme to get to sweet Christine.

She ran out before school was out, saying that she couldn't cope

But I knew fine she was right for me and I never gave up hope

Chorus

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh sweet Christine
I have been all around the world, tell me where you been?

She is the prettiest girl that I have ever seen

Keeps me awake in my dreams

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh sweet Christine

They say love is blind

99.9 percent of the time
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh sweet Christine

Verse 2

Well her father was an engineer and he moved away to work

If you have never been in love before you won't know how it hurts

He always said I was no good, though I tend not to agree

Blood's been spilled, over broken hearts, but that's just history

Save Me From Your God

Verse 1

 

I could send you flowers on a Tuesday afternoon
Or while away the hours, like a sunny day in June

I got all these questions from days that have gone by

But you can't fight the fire if you are covered up in lies

Bridge 

Will you take me by the hand and lead me from a world so cruel

Or take me to a place I know where everything is beautiful

Chorus

 

I said, a hey hey hey, I said a hey hey hey

I think you should pray for me
I said, a hey hey hey, I said a hey hey hey

I think you should say it for me

I think you should save me tonight

Verse 2

 

You can stand in prison and tell me that I am wrong

Or modify your sentence so that it won't be so long

You have your convictions and I am proud of you

A cross, a mosque or elephants, you are free to choose

Shock Therapy

Verse 1

It's a shame that you don't know

That somebody stole you soul

While you were sleeping

Such a long time ago

They got inside your thoughts

When you said that you couldn't be bought

Must have been while you were dreaming of

The grandiose

Bridge

Now I can't live within

My own skin

I don't know who I am

But I do the best that I can

Chorus

Electricity

Was applied to my body

Because they thought I was mad

They thought that I was crazy

And I might be

Shock, shock, shock therapy

As long as it takes

I am going to find me

Verse 2

Knowing what you know now
Would you do the same thing
All over again
It's the definition of insanity

That's the trouble with your mouth
Nothing makes sense when it comes out
At least a mile in these shoes
How much does that cost

Dear Old Henry's Song

 Verse 1

The end of an era, comes to a close
Where you get off, nobody knows
I'll set the table, a place for us all
There's no replacement, when one us falls

Chorus

To those of you left, behind
I would like a little more time
You know I won't be long

I have to finish Old Henry's song

Verse 2

The barmaid loves an unquenchable thirst
I would say thank you for his humor first

You can all cry through the tears and the pain

I am here now but never again

M8

If there's a chance for one more dance

While we're singing to Steely Dan

On a plane to the south of Spain

Then back to the Clyde, in the cold rain

Verse 3

The end of an era, comes to a close
Where you get off, nobody knows
I'll set the table, a place for us all
There's no replacement, when one us falls
