Sweet Lovin' Tonight

Keep going down that same old road again
Keep making all those same mistakes again
And it's enough to make a soul man cry
And if you don't know why
And if you don't know why, just try
And give me a chance to love you baby
Just give me some time to send your heart crazy
You've been a long time coming round lately
And if you don't have the time to make up your mind
Let me shake up your world and give you some sweet lovin' tonight
I'm gonna give you sweet lovin tonight
Heard you met a long lost lover on the last plane down to Vegas
Wasn't smooth as you thought,had a heart that was made of stone
Took you for a ride then he left you for the bright lights of the city
You said he could've had the looks, but he didn't have the heart and soul
He could've had the looks, but he didn't have the heart to know
Been awake too many nights thinking how I'm gonna win you over
And I'm not the kinda guy who can take it when you're hard to get
Don't wanna tough talkin' woman with a hard time reputation
Cause I'm an easy time lover taking living as it comes and goes

Making Good On Monday

Yesterday,I sent a letter to the ministry
I said I can't believe the state of the world today
It's shocking though I can say
In my head,a million questions plague inside my head
When did the honesty and honour all fade away
Justice it came too late
And now all the common people want the justice to get done
But they keep coming back on Monday,hey,hey,hey
Picked their pride up off the ground
Polished suits and cars will shine
Making good on Monday,hey,hey,hey
Innocence,when did the greed take over common sense
The city tumbles and the winds are about to change
Fallen from our disgrace
Empty words,are all I hear from you and empty hearts
Blind to hardship and the struggle to make ends meet
Living on dead end street
And now all the common people need the justice to get done
And when the feelings fine they feel justified
And when they feel divine yeah they're flying high
Even though,I hear their voices on the radio
TV players playing all of the same old games
Get back on that same old train
So tell me how,how can they live their lies and reason why
And when it's over they just do it all over again
Won't want to change one thing
You know all the common people just want justice to get done

I've got twenty thousand reasons for feeling this way today
And I don't really care what the papers are wanting to say
It's the same old record playing over and over again
The tempo has changed but the lyrics are saying the same
Same old thing
I wanna stop the world,I wanna get off from here
Stop the world,I wanna get down yeah
Stop the world,I wanna rewind this frame
And start all over again
The office is calling,the office expects to be fed
Twenty-four hours every day and they're wanting some more
The bosses are parasites sucking us dry to the bone
And if there's anything left to give,their bonuses double again
And again
So now the rent is behind,there's a mountain of bills to get paid
The credit card company's raising the interest again
They wanna assist me,they're increasing my limit some more
And now the situation's turning from total regret to despair
But do they care
Now the boys are breaking toys and the girls are still screaming too loud
The baby's throwing food at the walls where the paper is torn
Tempers are rising,there's a cache of knives in the wall
Please let me steady the world cause I can't seem to stop it no more
No, no more

Other Side Of Life

I walked into a life the other day,I met this poor man full of hope
He asked me could I spare a little time,I just smiled and held his hand
A tear drop from his eye touched a nerve within my heart
He spoke about the days of yesteryear and the days about to start
And you can tell everyone how great things really are
You can show everyone that brand new shining car
Say you wanted to stop awhile,but you just aint got the time
Maybe you should take a look around,at the other side of life
Maddie's got her life dug in the dirt,a maze of no one cares
Mr Brown keeps knocking on her door and she sells her body out
Can somebody help me,take away these frozen tears
These tears upon the windows of the world,where no one ever goes
So take away these thoughts within my head and these days of no belief
Running scared of all that's said and done,of these scars that lie beneath
Painfully forgotten and aware that no one cares
Taking in the parallels of life behind our shaded eyes
And you can tell everyone how great things really are
You can show everyone that brand new shining car
Say you wanted to stop a while but you just aint got the time
You wanted to think a while but you just aint got the mind to know what's right
You know you've never seen it,the other side of life
You know you don't believe in it,the other side of life
Just stop and take a look around
Cause there's another side to life

The Fall
02:47
|

|
So hard to talk,seems such a long time we're apart
So much has changed,so many dreams have come my way
It's taken a while,for me to patch up this broken heart
No more the fool,to believe a word you say
Because you were the one
You were the one
You are the one
Who's thrown it all away
So don't speak a word cause I can't hear a thing you're saying
Don't cry to me now you're down on your lucky heather
Cause you were the one who broke it all
You were the one,who made the fall
You've said it before,you've said it so many times before
Enough is enough,don't have to take it anymore
And each time I thought that I could restore my faith in you
You threw it away,you couldn't wait to play some more
And now you've taken a piece of me,sold yourself out
Promising everything right from the start
Living the lie,now it's much too late to change
So don't speak a word cause I can't hear a word you're saying now

Nova Scotia
03:50

Sometimes I laugh outside,sometimes I cry inside
Sometimes I close my eyes and pray
For those distant memories and this constant loneliness
Are taking their toll on me
That's why I'm trying to find my way
To a cool and peaceful summers day
Back on the soil of my youth
And I'm dreaming that you'll be there
just the same as when you were back then
In those days when we lay in the shade
Of that old white house in Nova Scotia
It's pulling me through,I know
It's that old white house on the shores of Nova Scotia
I know I'll be there some day yeah
Some day real soon
Do you remember those days long gone
Guess we were kids who knew it all
No one could tell us how to live
And it's funny how the seasons change
We all get older and time flows in
Man I wish I could be back now
Home is where the heart is a beacon of truth
Always alive in us all the days of our youth
No matter how far I stray
I'll always have New Scotland hope in my heart
