A Scene Like That
03:26

This isn’t the time or place for you to make a scene like that
This isn’t the time or place to make a scene
A scene like that A scene like that
You’re bluffing me I can tell you are tiger made of papier-mâché
You’re blushing and all the world is watching now
I’ve seen your act I’ve seen your act
Say yes and then yes it is and then you can make a scene like that
Say yes and then everything is possible
Embrace your act
A scene like that

Be Here and Now
04:23
|

Stained glass and sunrise
Green grass and blue skies
Life’s what you make it
Reach out and take it
It’s easy to forget where you have been
Be here and now and you’re where you belong
The most important words in this song sung round the world
It’s a party and they’re calling your name
Look up!
Music is science
All life’s inside us
Breath out the pressure
Breathe in the fresh air
Especially with so much air to breathe
I’ll be the safety net when you fall
How high you’ll fly up and over them all
All around the world it’s a party and they’re calling your name
Look up!
We are right where we belong
So be here and now
The world is still a magical place

Latency Head

Wait for the moment with my face in the window
Don’t think it happens but I know you will
Falling all along and all along I was falling all along and all along I was
Are you still dreaming?
What are you waiting for?
Wait for a signal
The age is coming
The ageless calling
Falling all along and all along I was falling all along and all along I was
Congratulate me
I am a big deal
Congratulate me
Am I still dreaming?
Or writing in the sand
Look at all this shining light
Falling all along and all along I was falling all along and all along I was
Are you still dreaming?
Or writing in the sand
Erase the moment
You couldn’t if you tried, you couldn’t if you tried
Falling all along and all along I was falling all along and all along I was
Erase the moment
We’re writing in the sand

Don't Stop the Music
04:27
|
|||
It’s just a pipeline of words
And nothing you’ve haven’t heard
Each one the same as before
And then its fills up the floor
Unites the people you meet
The same repetitive beat
It’s a metronome with a poem
Hypnotic beats from a trance
Cling to the staff like they’re ants
Who march repetitively
Your instrument sets them free
They’re captured deep in the brain
A pelting stronger than rain
Don’t say you’re ready to quit we just started
When they say don’t stop the music
Don’t stop
Don’t stop the music
It’s something hard to explain
Mathematics inside the brain
A glass of colors you pour
The songs you cannot ignore
They want it honest and straight
Release the beat they can’t wait
Cause theory doesn’t compete anyway
When they say don’t stop the music
Don’t stop
Don’t stop the music
Taped back together, you’re ripped
They said don’t read from the script
You’ve got to read from the heart
And you were made for this part
The same repetitive beat
Locked in your dreams when you sleep
It guides you when you’re awake and you’re awake right now
When they say don’t stop the music
Don’t stop
Don’t stop the music

Pick Up the Slack
04:46
|
|||
You’ve got nothing to say for yourself
High times and nothing to show for yourself
Judge and jury laughing ha ha hoo
Nothing funny when the jokes on you
But you’ve got no one to blame but yourself That’s right!
Pick up the slack
Red hands pull up the straps and be gone
This time all of the rights have gone wrong
You wonder what you’re going to do
You bit off more than you can chew
Sometime forces conspire against you It’s true!
Pick up the slack
Don’t let the line out anymore
Don’t let the line out anymore
Pick up the slack
You’ve got nothing to say you’d better pick up the slack
You’ve got nothing to show you’d better pick up the slack
Don’t let the line out anymore
Don’t let the line out anymore
Pick up the slack!

Talk to Me

Talk to Me
Tell me something, the time is coming
Step up and give us what we've all been wanting
Untie your strings, tell me the things
The things you dream about, the things you find obscene
Take possession, of your confession
Free as a bird and now the world is your lesson.
You're in control, crack the mold
See the world as a reflection of your soul
Talk to me, see ya
Communication, put into action
Use the forces and the laws of attraction
Don't have to coat it, don't sugar coat it
Free up your burden and the world is your possession.

I Need a Friend
04:10
|

I need a friend
Someone to believe in me
Someone who will not deceive me
I need a friend
Someone who will not defy me
Someone to defend me
When I’m not that strong
And if that’s so wrong
Then I don’t belong with a friend
I need a friend
I don’t need an enemy
I don’t have the energy for to
Fight my foes
Or defend the blows
What I need the most is a friend
Sometimes the solitude is more than I can take
It’s more than I can handle by myself
I need a friend
Someone who will listen to me
Someone who won’t piss me off
Find me I am disappearing
Reappearing
I am
Find me
Sometimes the solitude is more than I can take
It’s more than I can handle by myself
I need a friend
Someone who will not deceive me
Someone to believe in me

Cut from the Cloth
03:22
|

What’s iron now by tomorrow is rust
There comes a time and a place when the mountains will turn to dust
Is something wrong is it something I said
Nothing changes it’s a matter of opinion
Pulled down the sky but nobody complained
You’re just the brawns of the business when you thought that you were the brains
Its simple math but it never adds up
Here we go the old man’s in his cups again
Cut from the cloth
Pack up the lights
Pull out the stars
Reel in the sky
I tried to find you but you’re already there
You’ve got your eyes wide open and you look like a million dollars in the bank
So many people to thank
Nothing changes it’s a matter of opinion
What’s free today by tomorrow’s in chains
And everyone keeps laughing and the faces keep staring back
The party’s over but we’ve only begun
Here we go the old man’s in his cups again
Cut from the cloth
Pack up the lights
Pull out the stars
Reel in the sky

Hint
03:39
|

…these things can take a while on a bad Mondays.
So did you notice?
That little yellow notice
That’s written on my face
That’s right – it’s a lucky guess.
You say I’m “I’m feeling better”
Oh, really better?
But you know that Johnny walks my beat
How’s that for a simple hint?
I am falling, I am falling down.
It’s no win I know you
I can see right through to
That plastered stare upon your face
Own up it’s a stinking mess.
I am falling, I am falling down.

One Track Mind
03:51
|
|||
Move fast and don’t think twice
You hesitate too long and you lose the fight
You’ve got to choose those words and spit them out
You’ve got a one track mind that’s wound up tight
Drive fast and skip the lights
Don’t let them slow you down because it’s your night
Don’t ever look behind it’s out of sight
You’ve got a one track mind that’s all right
