Rocketship 2019

Another night - I can’t sleep
Not getting any further with you in my dreams
So I’m gonna fly my rocketship to your heart
Wanna write - I wanna call
I’m stuck here behind a grade ‘A’ wall
So I’m gonna fly my rocketship to your heart
I’ll fly my rocketship
Park next to your heart
I’ll walk right in and claim it mine
Checked the stars - lunar tides
All systems go tonight
So I’m gonna fly my rocketship to your heart
Losin’ ground - losing time
But giving up ain’t on my mind
So I’m gonna fly my rocketship to your heart
Gauges up - thrusters on
Count from ten and then I’m gone
Off to fly my rocketship to your heart
I’ll fly my rocketship
Park next to your heart
I’ll walk right in and claim it mine
Another night - I can’t sleep
Not getting any further with you in my dreams
I’m gonna fly my rocketship to your heart
I’m gonna fly my rocketship
I’m gonna fly my rocketship to your heart
(Apparently, a bunch of guys flying around in Rocketships)

Falling Stars 2019
03:18
|

Tonight’s that kind of night
When I just can’t sleep
Unlock the cosmic door
And let you bother me
Drive your luna-tractor up and down my heart
Quartz in my Pulsar all a-flutter
Race you to the moon
Cocktails when we get there
Count all the craters left by falling stars
It’s that kind of life
When the brush won’t paint
Streaks my favourite wall
In a room for mistakes
I let you drive your luna-tractor up and down my heart
Is that - Quartz in your Pulsar yet a-flutter?
Race you to the moon
Cocktails when we get there
Count all the craters left by falling stars
Let’s go planet hopping
I was kissed by Venus
The voice that’s glistening
Was blessed by falling stars
Two wrongs in the night
You’re for me
Some when the time is right
You can come and bother me
I’ll watch you drive your luna-tractor up and down my heart
Race you to the moon
Cocktails when we get there
Count all the craters left by falling stars
Let’s go planet hopping
I was kissed by Venus
The voice that’s glistening
Was blessed by falling stars
Race you to the moon!

I fall asleep .. then every morning
I'm piecing a dream that won't go away
Eyes are shut tight
It's my six thousandth time
At Tiffany Bastow's place
For half of my life .. this dream has not died
Every crowd .. I search for her face
Drift off to sleep
Then wake up and be
At Tiffany Bastow's place
Same dream each night
I walk up the drive
I swear I feel the wind on my face
I open the door and the fire's so warm
At Tiffany Bastow's place
Haunted by dreams for so many years
I tried to lock them away ..
And when I finally put a name to the face
I find she's even further away ..
Now she's even further away .. yeah yeah
I fall asleep .. then every morning
I'm piecing a dream that won't go away
Eyes are shut tight
And I'm back here tonight
At Tiffany Bastow's place
Same dream each night
I walk up the drive
I swear I feel the wind on my face
I open the door and the fires just roar
At Tiffany Bastow's place
Haunted by dreams for so many years
I tried to lock them away
And when I finally put a name to the face
I find she's even further away
Now she's even further away
Same dream each night
I walk up the drive
I swear I feel the wind on my face
I open the door and the fires just roar
At Tiffany Bastow's place
I open the door and the fires just roar
At Tiffany Bastow's place
Eyes are shut tight
It's my six thousandth time
At Tiffany Bastow's place

Forget the tinsel and the pretty tree
We’ll rock around the clock
Just keep those Christmas lights a’flashing ..
Forget the spinning tops - toys and trinkets
Tommy guns and dolls ..
He’s wired for sound .. he’s a rockroll Santa Claus
He loves to boogie in his way cool tricked out ride
Ah he can rhumba, yeah .. but that’s not his gig tonight
Ooh .. a whole new generation wanna make some noise
He brought a lot of amps and electric guitars
For all of the girls and boys
Forget the tinsel and the pretty tree
We’ll rock around the clock
Just keep those Christmas lights a’flashing ..
Forget the spinning tops - toys and trinkets
Tommy guns and dolls ..
He’s wired for sound .. he’s a rockroll Santa Claus
He’ll splash your party in his hip red leather suit
He’d love to stick around but he’s got things to do
A couple hundred sets of drums are loaded in his sleigh
A whole new generation
Wants to learn to play
Forget the tinsel and the pretty tree
We’ll rock around the clock
Just keep those Christmas lights a’flashing ..
Forget the spinning tops - toys and trinkets
Tommy guns and dolls ..
He’s wired for sound .. he’s a rockroll Santa Claus
Ooh .. A whole new generation wanna make some noise
Pianos, horns, wah-wah pedals
For all the girls and boys
Forget the tinsel and the pretty tree
We’ll rock around the clock
Just keep those Christmas lights a’flashing ..
Forget the spinning tops - toys and trinkets
Tommy guns and dolls ..
He’s wired for sound .. he’s a rockroll Santa Claus
He’s wired for sound .. he’s a rockroll Santa Claus
He’s wired for sound .. he’s a rockroll Santa Claus

Yay yeah - I'm gliding ..
The universe is a big one .. I'm feeling right at home
Chatting up a storm with every ghost I've ever known ..
They drag those chains behind me
But they can't slow me down
'Cause I am gliding .. yay yeah .. yes I'm gliding ..
(Look at us)
Yay yeah .. I'm gliding ..
Welcome to the big one - you're in it on your own
No sugar coating here .. you'll have to stand alone
I know you can make it through - oh you were made for this
You'll soon be gliding ..
Yay yeah - yeah you're gliding
Never wanted to learn to hurt
Sent the sadness away
Lantern, lantern .. burn me bright
Like a comet 'cross the night sky
Ooh - you're gliding ..
Ooh - oh yeah you're gliding ..
You're gliding - you - are - gliding ..
Welcome to the righteous age - don't walk through that door
We have to find ourselves before they chain us to the floor
Once we hit the open road .. no need to speed at all
'Cause we'll be gliding -
Yay yeah .. oh yeah we're gliding
Never wanted to learn to hurt
Sent the sadness away
Lantern, lantern burn me bright
Like a comet 'cross the night sky
Look at us - (looking good) - Oh we're gliding
Look at us .. we are gliding
We're gliding - we - are - gliding
Oh we're gliding - yes we're gliding
Oh we're .. gliding ..
Yay yeah

Even through sandstorms
We followed the lights
Burning and weaving their way through midnight
And all of the fifty horsemen
That ride with the train
Each of them wishing that it would rain
As the sun climbed higher our throats were fire
The reins burned hot in my hands
The train would snake - find it's way
To waterholes not on the map
We'd conspire by the speck of a fire
Go over it again and again ..
I would die in the sand or have silver and gold for my Jane
Robbing the Opium train - robbing the Opium train ..
The horsemen, they drop like flies
In this sweltering heat -
All of the rest will be slaughtered like sheep
Tonight while they make their camp
Is when we attack
Think of my Jane - no more rehearsing .. no more turning back
As the sun climbed higher our throats were fire
The reins burned hot in my hands
The train would snake - find it's way
To waterholes not on the map
We'd conspire by the speck of a fire
Go over it again and again ..
I would die in the sand or have silver and gold for my Jane
Robbing the Opium train - robbing the Opium train ..
Close my eyes .. mmm .. see my Jane
Going down .. robbing the Opium train
Say a prayer - aw lord, keep me safe
Glory bound .. robbing the Opium train
Robbing the Opium train .. robbing the Opium train
Robbing the Opium train .. Opium train

Tick tock - tick tock
Tick tock - tick tock
So cool .. so caramel
My favourite glue ..
Sirens in my closet
You're the mess I'm sticky to ..
My kind .. hey, trouble
The crow at my door
In distress, a fabumess
Femme fatale I can't ignore
You make the time for me
You never get me wrong
I never make believe I'll stay away too long
Tick after tock .. I won't miss a beat
Tick after tock .. you can count on me
Baby I owe you and if eternal's what you want
I am tick - after tick - after tock
Tick tock - tick tock
So rock .. so candy
Mackintosh toffee to go
Building cars to drive on Mars
More than afterglow ..
Be tart, out orange me
Be why they took Tang to the Moon
Luna rocks your Terry socks .. static cling was made for you ..
You make the time for me
You never get me wrong
I never make believe
I'll stay away too long
Tick after tock .. I won't miss a beat
Tick after tock .. you can count on me
Baby I owe you and if eternal's what you want
I am tick - after tick - after tock
Tick after tock .. I won't miss a beat
Tick after tock .. you can count on me
Baby I owe you and if eternal's what you want
I am tick -after tick - after -
Tick after tock .. I won't miss a beat
Tick after tock .. you can count on me
Baby I owe you and if eternal's what you want
I am tick -after tick - after tock
A - E - I - O - U and sometimes why?
'Cause you are hot
I am tick - after tick - after tock

No Reason 2017

No reason for leaving you
Just say he's gone again
No list of things to do
And no reason for leaving you
The whispering winter wind
Snowman is on his way
I'm off to somewhere new
With no reason for leaving you
I can't understand it
My eyes are too blind to see
How can I hurt you
When you've been so kind to me, yeah -
Gone are those crazy days
Rain's taken summer's place
I feel so sad and blue
With no reason for leaving you
This song offers not one clue
And no reason for leaving you ... yeah -

Piece Of Me 2013
03:36
|
|||
When did I start stop making sense
I only turned, now I wonder where my mind went
When do I stop calling your name
I only smiled, now I’m shame-faced and heartless
You’ll always want it all but settle for a piece of me
Call it what you want to call it
You still have a piece of me
A piece of me, yeah
When will I stop hurting myself
I only blink and it hits me like a freight train
When did you stop turning it on
You flipped a switch or maybe just a time zone
You’ll always want it all but settle for a piece of me
Call it what you want to call it
You still have a piece of me
A piece of me, yeah
A little piece of me .... a little piece of me
That's what you want ...
You’ll always want it all but settle for a piece of me
Call it what you want to call it
You still have a piece of me
A piece of me, yeah

Ballad Of Cora Grey 2010
02:56
|
|||
Oh - her name is Cora Grey
And her folks live over yonder
I've walked her home from school every day since I was ten
Every time I see her mother
I ask after Cora -
Is there any news of my friend ..
She left one sunny day
To live with friends in Ireland
We traded our good-byes as the train came 'round the bend
Many nights I've pined
Thinking of my Cora
Waiting on some news from my friend ..
We'd walk from here to the end of the pier
And watch the tide go out
And ever since the age of ten she's all I've thought about
When I saw her mom today
She kissed me on the cheek and said
"Today Cora Grey's coming home .."
Now I'm rushing home from work
To find my fanciest attire
I plan to go a'callin' on a lady friend I know
She'll be waiting at the station
'Cause the folks are all at my house
Today Cora Grey's coming home ..
We'd walk from here to the end of the pier
And watch the tide go out
And ever since the age of ten she's all I've thought about
When I saw her mom today
She kissed me on the cheek and said
"Today Cora Grey's coming home .."
We'd walk from here to the end of the pier
And watch the tide go out
And ever since the age of ten she's all I've thought about
When I saw her mom today
She kissed me on the cheek and said
"Today Cora Grey's coming home .."
Ah .. today Cora Grey's coming home ..
Yes .. today Cora Grey's coming home ..
Aaah ...

Santa's On His Way 2008
02:38
|
|||
If you're blue and all alone
Just pick up your telephone
And Santa - Santa's on his way
If your tree won't stand up straight
Don't you worry - just you wait
Hey, Santa - Santa's on his way
Well, he - ain't got no reindeer
Or no big black shiny car
And his long dark hair is starting to turn grey
It's a cold old winter's night
You need someone to treat you right
Well, Santa - Santa's on his way ..
Hanging up your mistletoe
Yuletide logs are all a'glow
And Santa - Santa's on his way
Close the window, trim the lights
You won't be alone tonight
'Cause Santa - Santa's on his way
Well, he - ain't got no reindeer
Or no big black shiny car
And his long dark hair is starting to turn grey
It's a cold old winter's night
You need someone to treat you right
Well, Santa - Santa's on his way ..
Well, he - ain't got no reindeer
Or no big black shiny car
And his long dark hair is starting to turn grey
If there's someone you would like to see
Underneath your Christmas tree
Well, Santa - Santa's on his way ..
Hey, Santa - Santa's on his way ..
