Feet Ain't Movin'
06:26

You know, back in the day, way before disco turned gray
Way back when we were all in school, everybody thought it was cool
If you knew how to dance, but I couldn’t
I couldn’t dance to save my soul
It’s like my feet were stuck in a hole
And all of them boys with those fancy shoes who knew all those moves
Took away all the women
I was devastated
No matter how hard I tried, I just could not understand
How I got stuck in no man’s land
So you know what I did?
I started a band
The beat’s pumpin’, my heart’s thumpin’
Everybody’s jumpin’ to some that thing this thing that thing
My soul’s swinging but my feet ain’t movin’
I see ‘em movin’ groovin’ foolin’ swayin’ playin’ screwin’ all the time
I try to feel the groove and bust a move but slip and fall down every time
Now Becky thinks I’m crazy she says baby, your feet ain’t right
But little does she know that I got disco fever bubblin’ deep inside
My papa does the tango and my mama does the cha cha cha
But no matter how hard I try, I can’t get the Macarena
Now people people slow down please, let me just show you what I’ve got
Just close your eyes and feel it twice and you’ll know that I’m hot, I’m hot yeah
Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what time it is?
It’s disco time
So like I said, I was devastated
And that band thing didn’t really work out, but I still wanted to dance
Stupid feet wouldn’t move
But then suddenly one day I realised
I don’t got to be no dancer to dance
And I don’t got to be no swinger to swing
All I need to do is maybe feel the beat
Then I can close my eyes and do whatever I please
You don’t gotta be no dancer to dance
You don’t gotta be no swinger to swing
All you gotta do is just feel the beat
Just close your eyes and do whatever you please

On The Ledge
05:52

I am quite, quite cool
Just a love drunk fool
I’m a mystery, a lone identity
I let you look right on through me
And I like to dance, I like to slow dance
On the ledge with sanity
And peeping through my hands I see your lies
I see your faces with those phony smiles
And racing thoughts flying by
Memories fade to black and white
This fear grows, it’s here to stay
The more I try, you drift away
If only this world was like in my head
Then clouds would pour down love and the sky turn red
And time could never tell if seasons flew
If only in my head I’ll be with you
I am king but I’m your slave
You’re gonna make me roll in my grave
I’ll be the joke, yes, I’ll be the joker
I’ll be your match won’t you set me on fire
And I can’t sleep, can’t sleep a wink
Coz you appear every time that I blink
No, I’m not crazy, but you control me
And racing thoughts flying by
Memories fade to black and white
This fear grows, I’m scared to death
You’re in my steps, with every breath
If only this world was like in my head
Then stars would take your shape and dance around my bed
And birds would sing our secrets no one knew
If only in my head I’ll be with you
I’ll be dancing on the ledge
I’ll be dancing around my head
I’ll be dancing on the ledge
I’ll be dancing, I’ll be dancing by myself

Black Hole
03:58
|
|||
|
You stared at the moon, under your shoes
While you picked up on a star that you’d lose
You are the goddess of all heartache
And the universe is all yours to take
Now I’m just a bubble, under the table
That you’d like to pop
So please stop, that’s all that I’ve got
I’m not your sunshine anymore
And the sky opens
You pour out your emotions
And you haunt my dreams
Yeah, you haunt my dreams
At night, I look at the sky
And I see your eyes, shining so bright
Baby you blew up the sun and the moon and the stars
With your smile
Now that you’ve gone I’ve got nothing to lose
I’m a black hole in the night
I’m just a black hole in the sky
Now I’m like a cloud and you’re like a doll
You pass just right through me whenever you fall
You stick to the nearest satellite
He spins you around and you hold on tight
Your life’s just a journey, from galaxy to galaxy
You want each one that you see
So where are you going
I’m the change in your pocket you’re throwing
I’m a black hole in the night
Baby, i’m a black hole in the sky
Now i’m just a black hole in your life
Baby, i’m a black hole out of sight

Empty Saturday
06:41
|

|
Another wasted weekend
Stuck in solitude
Another sixth day morning
With so much left to lose
He puts me to the test, no time to rest,
Drains out the best days of my life
While I’m still riding
He shows me his big bags of white
Telling me it’s all fake
How much can a man take
I need to get out,
I’m staring down the barrel,
I’m falling off the wagon today
I can’t take it no more,
Just show me the door
I’m walking out, walking out, walking out
Won’t somebody lend me
An empty Saturday
A smoke, a drink, maybe a woman,
And a guitar to play
Now crashing back to reality
It’s just me here stuck in the dirt
While you wake up to another morning’s worth
Someday you’ll all fall down
this rabbit hole too
And I’ll climb off over you
I need to get out,
I’m staring down the barrel,
I’m falling off the wagon today
I can’t take it no more
Just show me the door
I’m walking out, walking out, I’m walking out

Break My Fall
05:47
|
|||
|
I don't know what it is that makes me feel like this,
Like I'm sweating through the cold heat of a summer rain.
Rising head rush, resemblance of a school boy crush,
And I can't seem to give up on the pleasure in this pain.
Haunting past, warns me not to turn to love again,
But again it makes me wanna jump into the deep end.
I'm losing myself, I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my grip of sanity,
I think I found a you in my destiny.
But you, can never see the way I look at
You, and I keep on floating up in the sky
High, until you bring me crashing down.
If only you'd break my fall
Blank spaces, and open pages in this book of silence in my head,
Whenever you're around
Stuck in a maze, just thinking ‘bout what you’re thinking
And thinking again I keep going around and round and round
Can't see no difference, from right or wrong, am I weak or strong,
When it comes to this obsession song
I'm screaming my lungs out, I'm pouring my heart out in these lines for you
So don't walk away, please don't walk away.
If only you'd break my fall, don't care less if I lose it all, I'd lose it all.
If only you could, if only you would,
You’d break my fall.
I'll hold onto you, I swear I'll hold onto you.
I'm coming crashing down, tearing through the sky,
If only you'd turn me around, then we could fly

Confusing State
05:32
|
|||
|
I start to stop feeling good
It’s like I’m breaking on the inside like burning wood
To laugh and cry seems harder now
And the people you know seem scary somehow
All that was bright got lost in the past
Can’t get a grip of the lifeline cast
Stuck between the best times and the worst days
In the good years of our lives
Staring down the stop signs at the crossroads
In the middle of the cold hard night
It’s too late to turn back
Too dark to walk straight
Too hard to breathe easy, hope nobody sees me
I just need to find a way out of this confusing state
Louis says the world’s wonderful
But the things that you cherish the most just seem a handful
Hard to find someone you adore
Hoping that love comes cheap around the corner store
All that was learnt just seems like a waste
Reality bites and it leaves a bad taste
Stuck between the best times and the worst days
In the good years of our lives
Staring down the stop signs at the crossroads
In the middle of the cold hard night
It’s too late to turn back
Too dark to walk straight
Too hard to breathe easy, hope nobody sees me
I just need to find a way out of this confusing state
I don’t want to turn back
I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to stay here
But I just want to stay clear

Green Fever
05:51
|
|||
|
The sun pops out from the trees
And jumps right into the sea
Yet another day dies in paradise
Waking up to the rhythm of the rain
Tears of a goddess, crying in shame
As I roll with the thunder and go insane
And it breaks you when you realise
That home was far behind
Green fever, Green fever
Making me go blue
It’s green fever
And I miss her everyday
And time keeps flying by
And the sun and the moon keep taking turns at saying goodbye
As you keep on calling, you’re calling out to me
As I’m drifting away
Many a time lost without a clue
Many a time, just feeling like I don’t need you
But you are my past, you are my pain
You are my pride that remains
And I try, not to shed a tear
Close my eyes, then I’m home
I’m home, I’m going home to where I belong
Every time life takes a kick
You fall back in line
Green fever, Green fever
Telling me that I don’t need you
It’s Green fever
And I’ll be back there someday

Don't Step On Me
06:17

You never did really deserve my attention
But you couldn’t care nonetheless
And all of those times that I tried to open up to you
You turn off the lights and shut the door behind
Now I can’t smoke no more, you’re my last cigarette
Oh, it feels so good but I gotta put you out of my mind
Now that I’ve fallen I ain’t really broken, I’ve landed on my feet
I’m back to my senses and you can’t resent this now
Don’t step on me girl
You’re getting too close I need my space
Don’t step on me, baby
Now you’re just nothing but a pretty face
And I’m like dynamite
Now and then I think about before I met you
So wild and free
And all those silly little mind games that you played on me
You couldn’t turn it all away
Now I can’t speak you stole all my words
And I can’t breathe, it’s like you poisoned out my air
Don’t step on me girl
‘Cause I ain’t got the time to waste
Oh, don’t step on me sugar
You look so sweet but you leave a bitter taste
And you make me go -

School Boy
05:00
|
|||
|
Bags all packed and I’m ready to go
Boots intact, chasing the bus down the road
Late as always, wish there was more to everyday
But life never changes, it only seems to fade away
I’m just a school boy at twenty one
With no place to hide and nowhere to run
Screwed over a silly cup of coffee
The teacher said I’m in trouble, well I say he’s crazy
Well I don’t want no life stuck up someone else’s butt
I’d rather live on the edge sticking to my day’s cut
But I’m just a school boy at twenty one
With no place to hide and nowhere to run
Wish I could fly back to when I was eighteen
Where life was as peaceful and easy as it’s ever been
Thoughts fill my mind as I pass another joint
Blurring into clarity and you can’t explain the point
Everybody’s happy yeah, if only life could be this slow
But I can only show you the way it’s up to you to walk through the door
But I’m just a school boy at twenty one
With no place to hide and nowhere to run
Wish I could fly back to when I was eighteen
Where life was as peaceful and easy as it’s ever been
I’m just a school boy just a damn school boy
Checkin’ out all the girls for that extra little bit of joy
School days will soon be all dead and gone
But school boys like you and me will still hold on

Give It Back
06:06
|
|||
|
We’ve got our lives filled with wretched machines
We’ve got our gods replaced with papers in green
We’ve got one hand stretched out to shake, with the other one in dirt
We’ve got an eye for an eye at the price of mother earth.
Look at the children they’re playing
Why can’t we learn from what they’re saying
We’ve got to
Give it back, give it back to your brother
Give it back, give it back with an open heart
Give it back, give it back on forever
Give it back, for a new start
You’re born into this world with innocent eyes
These eyes wide open to this world full of lies
These lies get bigger and bigger they overshadow your past
The past is forgotten and you’re growing old too fast
A child is gifted with a good heart
He’s god’s real work of art
He’s got no worries to care
Wish I could always go back there
Look at the children they’re playing
Why can’t we learn from what they’re saying
We’ve got to
Give it back, give it back to your brother
Give it back, give it back with an open heart
Give it back, give it back on forever
Give it back, for a new start
Give it back
