Love Button
03:14
|

“Like” button - “Love” button
“Like” button - “Love” button
Sexy little posts
Hints of dynamite
So I respond in kind
Where does she get
Those crazy little devils
She puts at the end of her text line
I used to notice flowers
Now they’re flaming hearts and devils
Start to disconnect and I say “next time”
I always hit the “like” button - I’m kinda shy
But I’m gonna hit her “love” button - next time
Gonna wait around - she’s gonna come online
Then I’ll hit the “love” button - hit the “love” button
Gonna hit the “love” button - next time … yeah
“Like” button - “Love” button
Really has a flair
The way she builds her words
Her punctuation’s fine
So where does she get
Those steamy little devils
She puts all over her text lines
Power to the planet, power to the people
I’ll have to plan it better
When my heart’s on the line …
I always hit the “like” button - I’m kinda shy
But I’m gonna hit her “love” button - next time
Gonna wait around - she’s gonna come online
Then I’ll hit the “love” button - hit the “love” button
Gonna hit the “love” button - next time … yeah
Funky little flowers
Are flaming hearts and devils
Heart's all horse with reins on fire
Hot cold sweats - get me to a medic
Better keep 'em close
When I'm here online
“Like” button, “Love” button, “Like” button, “Love” button
“Like” button, “Love” button, “Like” button, “Love” button
“Like” button, “Love” button, “Like” button, “Love” button
“Like” button, “Love” button, “Like” button, “Love” button
That's all ...

Emily Trann - Wide Open
03:29
|
|||
What shall I do today - where shall I start
Spent all day yesterday nursing broken hearts
The sun is up, the sky is blue - the air is suckle sweet
With that little smirk of mine I'm walking down your street
With my - eyes - wide open
And my - arms - wide open
Is your - night - is your night wide open
'Cause I'm - wide - I'm wide open ... yeah ...
I'm feeling ... like I haven't felt in years
There's no dust up there, no pain down here
The sun is up, the sky is blue - my calendar is bare
Tall drinks on the patio and wander in the square ...
With my - eyes - wide open
And my - arms - wide open
Is your - night - is your night wide open
'Cause I'm - wide - I'm wide open, yeah
The sun is up, the sky is blue, the air is suckle sweet
With that little smirk of mine I wander down your street
With my - eyes - wide open

Miss Runaway
04:16
|
|||
Another little urchin in the chain of life
Sold your story to me
A rage of red turned to blinding white
It only gets stranger in dreams -
You’re a brat on a hot tin roof - baby
You’ll get what’s coming to you - yeah
Go find some sanctuary underground
Or you’ll pay for a heart battered black and blue
Miss runaway
You’ve been a bad little girl from the start
Miss runaway
You’d better cover your tracks if you’re smart -
Oh yeah ..
You looked so sweet while you were telling me lies
You gave me the works -
Ran the name on the tip of my tongue .. honey
All we could come up with was dirt
You’re a brat on a hot tin roof - baby
You’ll get what’s coming to you - yeah
So find some sanctuary underground
Or you’ll pay for a heart battered black and blue
You’ll get what’s coming to you ..
Miss runaway
You’ve been a bad little girl from the start
Miss runaway
You’d better cover your tracks if you’re smart -
Miss runaway
You’ve been a bad little girl from the start
Miss runaway
You’d better .. oh .. baby ..
SPOKEN:
So the story goes on down the line
Electric blue fire on the wire
Steal my heart - baby .. tug at my sleeve
You never did cool my desire
You looked so sweet while you were telling me lies
You gave me the works
Ran your name on the tip of my tongue
Here’s what I heard ..
You’re a brat on a hot tin roof - baby
You’ll get what’s coming to you - yeah
So find some sanctuary underground
Or you’ll pay for a heart battered black and blue
You’ll get what’s coming to you ..
Miss runaway
You’ve been a bad little girl from the start
Miss runaway
You’d better cover your tracks if you’re smart -
Miss runaway
You’ve been a bad little girl from the start
Miss runaway
You’d better - you’d better ..
You better run away .. oh ..

K.T. Rouge - Is It Love
04:13
|
|||
She worked late at the office
So she had a hard day
At night she would moonlight, havin’ no fun
Just tucking her money away
She’d dream of excitement
After paying the rent
So she’d go to the bank and she’d take out some money
But somehow it never got spent
Is it love that holds it together
Is it love that softens her heart
Is it love…..I gotta know
When you turn out the lights and whisper goodnight
Is it love?
Her future is changing
Her skies are not sordid and grey
At night she still moonlights, she’s havin’ no fun
But she’s tucking her money away
I feel kinda’ special…
When she brings me my coffee for free
‘Cause I work at the bank and she works at the restaurant
At midnight she’s waiting for me
Is it love that holds it together
Is it love that softens her heart
Is it love…..I gotta know
When you turn out the lights and whisper goodnight
Is it love?
Is it love ..
Is it love that holds it together
Is it love that softens her heart
Is it love…..I gotta know
When you turn out the light and whisper goodnight -
Is it love that holds it together
Is it love that softens her heart
Is it love…..I gotta know
When you turn out the lights and whisper goodnight
Is it love?
Is it love?

Christmas Lights (Demo)
03:26
|
|||
Snow stuck around my little town
Setting the scene for Christmas
Tinsel galore, wreath on the door
The most wonderful time of the year
Middle school choir invaded the mall
Singing - Oh - Holy - Night
The stores are all closing
I'm busy shopping
Looking for Christmas lights
Shopped for a toy - small orphan boy
Anonymous Santa this Christmas
Metal toy train dipped in red paint
A friend to last all through the years
Little town choir with angels on high
Singing - Oh - Holy - Night
I'm walking home
Treasures in tow
And ... I found some Christmas lights
Here's to the wise men who followed the star
Seek and you will find
More than a baby born in a stable
The first Christmas light
So - snow's coming down in my pretty town
Just a few sleeps 'til Christmas
One little tree is perfect for me
I've kept it for all of these years
Church choir aided by angels on high
Singing - Oh - Holy - Night
When I get home
I'll write a song
One about Christmas lights
So - here's to the wise men who followed the star
Seek and you will find
More than a baby born in a stable
The first Christmas light
Snow stuck around in my pretty town
Just one more sleep ' til Christmas

Didn't Know A Thing
03:27
|
|||
This morning was rushed ..
A little blessed but uninspired
I drown out when it hurts too much
But I finally realized -
I didn’t know a thing ’til I met you
I didn’t know a thing ’til I met you
Oh - and you’re out there ..
Building bridges I may burn
In all the years I’ve played with fire
There is one thing I have learned
I didn’t know a thing ’til I met you
I didn’t know a thing ’til I met you
Didn’t know what time it was
Didn’t know what day it was
Didn’t know what year it was
Or how I managed until now ..
This morning was rough
Another topsy turvy day -
If I have to spell it out for you
There is one thing I must say
I didn’t know a thing ’til I met you
I didn’t know a thing ’til I met you
I didn’t know a thing ’til I met you
I didn’t know a thing ’til I met you
I didn’t know a thing -
I didn’t know a thing -
’Til I met you ..
I didn’t know a thing

Standard Issue Lies
04:47
|
|||
She learned young
From her momma - maybe
Set the pace with those “fool you” eyes
You’ll always want her ..
She never will deliver
She comes with standard issue lies
She’s not the playground
You’d like to get to know better
Lots of sorry soldiers who have tried
Out on the battlefield
She won’t take any prisoners
She comes with standard issue lies ..
She comes with standard issue lies
Crawl around with a wound
That doesn’t want to close again -
And every battle you lose
Makes her harder to defend -
She comes with standard issue lies ..
She comes with standard issue lies
She’ll learn to love ..
From another - maybe
Never one to savour a good-bye
You’ll always need her -
It won’t get any better
She comes with standard issue lies ..
She comes with standard issue lies
Crawl around with a wound
That doesn’t want to close again -
And every battle you lose
Makes her harder to defend -
She comes with standard issue lies ..
She comes with standard issue lies
Crawl around with a wound
That doesn’t want to close again -
And every battle you lose
Makes her harder to defend -
She comes with standard issue lies ..
She’s oh, so standard issue -
Crawl around with a wound
That doesn’t want to close again -
And every battle you lose
Makes her harder to defend -
She comes with standard issue lies ..
She comes with standard issue lies

Ooh .. hot .. ooh ooh ooh hot
Ooh .. hot .. ooh ooh ooh hot
A nasty case of the Upton blues could lay me up for a week
Morning shakes and midnight chills ..
Get no relief but you're fading in style .. yeah .. uh huh ..
Found me in an east end room like a match so ready to burn
High-wire acts are hard to find
You better hold on tight, my girl
I rock and roll all night - it's been my life
And nothing was ever free .. nothing was ever free
Well, you're in it for a whole lotta love
Or you're shaking my tree ..
Don't give me those Upton blues ..
Don't give me those Upton blues
Just this morning, half past nine, I made my way to the street
Sunlight surely hurt my eyes .. still not able to see
I won't try and chain you, honey .. I'm not made that way
Kick off your sandals if you think you might intend to stay ..
I rock and roll all night - it's been my life
And nothing was ever free .. nothing was ever free
So you're in it for a whole lotta love
Or you're shaking my .. tree
Don't give me those Upton blues
Give me those Upton blues
Upton blues .. the death of me .. I'm running out of time
Send a whirling dervish girl
To weave in and out of my mind
We're stuck here in this east end room
And I'm a matchstick ready to burn
Well, high-wire acts are hard to find
You'd better hold my hand, my girl ..
I rock and roll all night - it's been my life
Nothing was ever free .. nothing was ever free
So you're in it for a whole lotta love
Or you're shaking my ..
I rock and roll all night - it's been my life
And nothing was ever free .. nothing was ever free
So you're in it for a whole lotta love
Or you're shaking my tree
Give me those Upton blues

Room In My Heart
04:51
|
|||
Maybe there’s not enough space
Has the world lost it’s lustre
Left you alone in the night
Afraid of the dark ..
Remember ..
There will always be room in my heart
When the fear of the dawn closes in
And the fingers of love
Did not linger long on your skin ..
But left you a scar
Remember ..
There will always be room in my heart
There will always be room in my heart
(Always room for one more ..)
There will always be room in my heart
(Always room for one more ..)
Safe from the thunder - and from the lightning
And from the rains when they start
You’re not quite yourself on the street
Abrasions abound
Like the concrete that eats at your feet
Leaving it’s mark
Remember ..
There will always be room in my heart
Ooh - yeah ..
There will always be room in my heart
(Always room for one more ..)
There will always be room in my heart
(Always room for one more ..)
Safe from the thunder - and from the lightning
And from the rains when they start
Maybe there’s not enough space
Has the world lost it’s lustre
Left you alone in the night
Afraid of the dark ..
Remember ..
There will always be room in my heart
Remember ..
There will always be room in my heart
Room in my heart .. always be room in my heart

I Will .. For You
03:35
|
|||
(scat guy)
I see your road’s getting easier
You can travel in luxury’s lap
Well, I am repairing the holes in my road
In hopes of heading you off at the pass
I’ll spend my whole life fixing the road
Just to be able to say ..
I will .. for you - I will .. for you
Whatever you need baby
Fill in the blanks - I will .. for you
I’ve noticed you starting to notice me more
I’m happy you know I exist
Maybe in time I will grow more on your mind
And nothing could feel quite like this
I’d spend my whole life in search of a feeling
Just to be able to say ..
I will .. for you - Oh, I will .. for you
Whatever you need baby
Fill in the blanks - and I will .. for you
I’d spend my whole life
My passion - my fire
Just to be able to say ..
I will .. for you - Oh, I will .. for you
Whatever you need baby
Fill in the blanks - I will .. for you - oh -
I will .. for you -
Whatever you need baby
I can get that - I will .. for you

Uh huh -
Old Joe Boudreau had a still on the hill
With the ‘G’ men and ’T’ men just sniffing around
When a couple kids went blind
And another couple died
They knew they had to find him quick and take the man
Take him down - take the man down
Take him down - that’s the only way they do it
When Old Joe missed the curve ‘cuz his brakes just wouldn’t work
They knew they’d finally found a way to take the man down
Take the man down …
Uh huh -
Tony was the king of the sex and drug type thing
Get high all day on China White and play with his gun
When he shot his self a cop
After shooting up the town
They knew they had to find him quick and take the man down
Take him down - take the man down
Take him down - that’s the only way they do it
When a girl he used to beat cooked him up his final treat
They knew they’d finally found a way to take the man down
Take the man down …
Uh huh -
If you step out of song, you’re dead, right or wrong
You’ll cover up your tracks and keep an ear to the ground
When the morning finds you shot down
Like a dog out in the street
You’ll know they finally found a way to take the man down
Take him down - take the man down
Take him down - that’s the only way they do it
You cover up your tracks and keep an ear to the ground
In the end they’re gonna find a way to take the man down
Take him down - take the man down
Take him down - that’s the only way they do it
When the morning finds you fenced up like a mongrel in the pound
You know they finally found a way to take the man down
Take the man down
Uh huh -
Take the man down - take the man down
Uh huh -
Take the man down - take the man down
Uh huh -
Take the man down
