She Kissed Me
She is negative as can beAnd she’s weak emotionallyBut she kissed meAnd she put it thereShe’s got a chip on her shoulderbladeAnd her attitude makes me afraidBut she kissed meAnd she put it thereShe kissed me thereThe way no other girl has kissed me thereShe kissed me thereThe way no other girl has kissed me thereWhen I’m bareShe kisses me thereWhen she betsShe’d never hedgeShe likes walking on the razor’s edgeBut she kissed meAnd she put it thereShe likes rap and metal really loudAnd she makes her other home girls proudBut she kissed meAnd she put it thereShe kissed me thereThe way no other girl has kissed me thereShe kissed me thereThe way no other girl has kissed me thereWhen I’m bareShe kisses me thereShe kissed me thereThe way no other girl has kissed me thereShe kissed me thereThe way no other girl has kissed me thereWhen I’m bareShe kisses me thereShe’s as simple as a girl can beYet she has a cool complexityBut she kissed meAnd she put it thereWhen she met me I was still a boyNow I’m an older woman’s toyBecause she kissed meAnd she put it there
Do You Love Me Like You Say?
Now do you love me like you say you do baby?(Do you love me like you say you do?)Listen baby, until I find the riverI won’t be satisfied with who I amIn my Monasteryo your love ran hot or coldSymphony or damnI wanna be careful not to lose by laughterWhat I’ve gained by tearsSo here’s a question babyYou answer I most need to hearNow do you love me like you say you do baby?(Do you love me like you say you do?)I give my best to the best of your breedTake my heart pretty babyI believe that I have all that I needI exist for you wholly in this hourAs the leaves existSurely for the sake of the flowerNow do you love me like you say you do baby?(Do you love me like you say you do?)It seems that you have all these emotional dragonsThat you must slayI believe your daddy didn’t treat you rightSo it seems now TTD must payThe troubles advance while the sorrows retreatYet whichever road you travel babyI genuinely wish you godspeedBut before you go answer my questionNow do you love me like you say you do baby?(Do you love me like you say you do?)

Turn The Page
You chose with ageTo speak with a prima ballerina’s rageAnd speak of all the kingdomsThat would swoop downStick aroundThen proceed to ignore youNo flash pot pan, guitar manOr resurrected Apollo mythTo seal your fateFeed your plateAnd just plain worship and adore youBut the pills you swillBring you no thrillSo travel lightly on the wing this timeLeaving all your baggage behindAs you wander through your vagabond stageAnd find yourself shovelling shitWith a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spadeYou must not be afraidYou must turn the pageYou wore your goddess downIn jaundiced disarrayYour halo fell into decaySwiped by those you lovedBut could not hold in sway behind youAnd then the dry spell leavesAt a low shutter speedLong enough for you to seeThat you create your own realityAnd that the wait alone will not enshrine youAnd the war that you sworeWould pour through your doorTo come to your rescue this timeIs all in your mindNow as you wander through your vagabond stageAnd you find yourself shovelling shitWith a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spadeAnd you find yourself kicking dirt aroundWith your Paris green pumpsOf pentacles and precious jadeYou must not be afraidYou must turn the pageYou dreamt a world of thingsLike you were a duchess bornOr Coretta Scott KingAnd the queen does not invite you overfor a tea at her gaff in ScotlandOr in Buckingham’s back-yardNow I’m sure ‘Van the Man’ of whom I’m a fanCan surely understandAs he said “It is not why, it just is.”So therefore you need not remain scarredAnd in time you’ll findThat your salvation is mineAs you travel lightly on the wing this timeLeaving all your baggage behindNow as you wander through your vagabond stageAnd you find yourself shovelling shitWith a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spadeAnd you find yourself kicking dirt aroundWith your Paris green pumpsOf pentacles and precious jadePulling the roots from your hairDyed from a bottleYou saw in a windows withAn ‘Everything must go!!’ sale signProminently displayedAnd yet waiting for your dancingOn the edge of a precipice heart to singThose serenading soul songsThat fulfillingness and consciousness bringsReleasing you from your captive cageReplacing love for all your rageTurning your hope on a rope’s magic pope kaleidoscopeInto a rabbit’s foot paradeYou must not be afraid(Eyes forward babe)You must turn the pageOne thing is sureAnd that is changeWhen the water’s risingYou can’t remainMove to dry landMove to dry landYou’ve got to move on
Castilian Blue
She was a paragon of soft scented chinois curlsShe stood with nothing onAs we watched my flag unfurlWe fell in love so fastThat it spun my head aroundHer coffee tawny skinSent my blood pressure up and downCastilian blueCastilian blueI never ever thoughtI’d be so taken by a girl like youLavender scented pillowsGave a smell to her roomThat when I smell it nowSends my heart into a sad moodBlack men and her commitmentsShe had a problem withAnd the mention of her fatherWould cause her to get very miffed at meCastilian blueCastilian blueI never ever thoughtI’d be so taken by a girl like youBon bons and fishnet stockingsUsed to settle any scoreTill one day I felt the breeze awake meComing in through an open doorRecurring dreamsI see her in Mirabella MagazineMulti-coloured babiesRunning round behind her kneeShe’s long, long, goneCastilian blueCastilian blueI never ever thoughtI’d be so taken by a girl like you
“T.I.T.S.”/”F & J”
You lead a life inside of your mindThat has nothing to do whatsoever with my timeShe stated very clearShe made it very plainYour subplot world is so cavalierYet you knew the tensioninside the sweetness was so nearShe stated very clearShe made it very plainIn a way that needs no refrainFrankie and Johnny were lovers alrightA man and a woman toughened by the weight of timeBut not quite as hard as they seemBecause they both have hearts awaiting dreamsFrankie, a tough gal when she needs to beJohnny, a city hard street manA softer side seen eventuallyBut they’ll both be ok even with a heartbreak yesterdayOh when a gentle breeze takes love libertiesWhen a breath of airBlows your heart a pairOf kisses whereYou wait for herFrankie and Johnny were lovers alrightAnd the tempered scale of experienceCannot forever indictTwo hearts looking to belong in the heatOf the sun as opposed to nightNo, I wouldn’t worry about them‘Cos people in love cannot condemnThose who are in love tooFrankie and Johnny were lovers alright

I Still Love You
I couldn’t sleep last night wondering where were you?In your mind I meanWhy didn’t you scream?Though I say the wrong thing now and thenI still love youIn my hour of passionate thoughtYou know I say things that I ought (not to)And though we may not stay togetherI still love youAll alone now long down the lineAnd still these tear storms loneliness findsBut like the tide that risesSlaps against the beach and fallsAnd though it’s no longer my pail to pull and allAnd though the weight of all our yearsTheir silent whispers callI still love youI still love youI still love you
Seasons
I won’t say goodbyeI don’t want to use that exit linePlease don’t make me lieI have no excuse for you this time‘Cause sometimes(It’s alright for a season)But then it’s time to goThe verses of my life are moving pastAnd so now the chorus I must hearI’ve got to define my life and timesBefore I can give you more than tears‘Cause sometimes(It’s alright for a season)But then it’s time to goYour heart was stretched to the point of breakingYour tears are etched and your sorrow is wakingThis complicated curseCauses you to freeze our love in timeIf I awaken that firstIt’s only ‘cause you lost yourself in minePlease don’t let me see you cry‘Cause sometimesIt’s alright for a seasonBut then it’s time to go
Let Her Down Easy
You’re top man on the sceneYou don’t think life comes in betweenBut hey, she’s just seventeenShe feels that she’s a worldly girlBut man you’ve been around the worldShe is just some worried daddy’s girlEven though there’s nothing I can sayTo cheat you and nature any wayLet her down easyHer heart is on a dimeLet her down easyAnd you’ll grow up in timeIn her strawberry eyesThe way she sees you signifiesThat she’s susceptible to your velvet liesBut if you must lay her downMay a butterscotch glow be her dressing gownAnd please do not lead her on when you leave townEven though there’s nothing I can sayTo cheat you and nature any wayLet her down easyHer heart is on the lineLet her down easyAnd you’ll grow up in timeShe’s a woman nowWith a daughter to make her proudIn her crayon world of paper cloudsShe still remembers youThe first boy that she gave it toAnd she laughs at how little then she knewHer daughter’s fiveand her grandfather adores her (of course)Let her down easyHer heart is on the lineLet her down easyAnd you’ll grow up in time
