I. . .
don't wanna be adored.
Don't wanna be first in line
Or make myself heard.

I'd like to bring a little light
To shine a light on your life

To make you feel loved
.
No:

Don't wanna be the only one you know. . .

. . .I wanna be the place you call home.

I lay myself down

To make it so,
But you don't want to know
I give much more
Than I'd ever ask for.
.
Will
You see me in the end?

Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend?
.
Just shine, shine, shine

Shine a little light

Shine a light on my life
And warm me up again.
.
Fool,

I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple.
.
I lay myself down
To make it so

But you don't want to know
You take much more
Than I'd ever ask for.
.
Say a word or two. . .

. . .To brighten my day.

D'ya think that you could see your way
To lay yourself down. . .
And make it so?
But you don't want to know.
.
You take much more

Than I'd ever ask for.

KEANE

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away

I'm just trying to get by, I'm just buzzin' on a sugar high
Yeah...

Everybody moves so fast, no time to wonder why
.
Yeah...
I'm just tryin' to get by
Is it all in my head?
.
Is it all in my head?
.
Could everything be so right without me knowin'?
I'm just workin' for the Man, I'm just tryin' to lend a hand Yeah...

And if I had a rocket ship, I'd never wanna land
.
Yeah...
I'm just doin' the best I can
Is it all in my head?
.
Is it all in my head?

Could everything be so right without me knowin'?
Is it all just some game, where everything stays the same?
.

Is it all in my, all in my, all in my head?.

Everybody needs a little love, to make it all work out
.
But I'm still lookin' to the stars above...

Hey! Hey! Hey!
It's all in my head

Could everything be so right without me knowin'?
Is it all just some game, where everything stays the same?

Is it all in my, all in my, all in my All in my head?

SHAWN MULLINS

Give a little time for the child within you,
Don't be afraid to be young and free.
.

Undo the locks and throw away the keys
And take off your shoes and socks, and run you.
.

Run through the meadow and scare up the milking cows
Run down the beach kicking clouds of sand.
.

Walk a windy weather day, feel your face blow away
Stop and listen: Love you.

Roll like a circus clown, put away your circus frown
Ride on a roller coaster upside down Waltzing Matilda,
Carey loves a kinkatchoo, Joey catch a kangaroo: hug you.

Dandylion, milkweed, silky on a sunny sky
Reach out and hitch a ride and float on by.

Balloons down below catching colors of the rainbow
Red, blue and yellow-green: I love you.
Bicycles, tricycles, ice cream candy.

Lollypops, popsicles, licorice sticks
Solomon Grundy, Raggedy Andy,
Tweedledum and Tweedledee, home free.
Cowboys and Indians, puppydogs and sandpails
Beachballs and baseballs and basketballs, too.
.
I love forget-me-nots, fluffernutters, sugarpops
I'll hug you and kiss you and love you

La, la, la...
Love you.

FREE DESIGN

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

NAT KING COLE

revisiting a current favourite (still)

I woke up this morning, hated to get out of bed
But I called up the weather man and this is what he said. . .
"Yes it's a good day for singing a song
And it's a good day for moving along
Yes it's a good day
How can anything go wrong?
'Cause Monday thru Sunday
You gotta find it someday
There's gonna be a good day for you".
.
Yes, it's a good day for shining your shoes
And it's a good day for losing the blues;
Everything to gain and nothing' to lose,
'Cause it's a good day from morning' till night.
.
I said to the sun,
"Good morning sun - rise and shine today!"
You know you've gotta get going
If you're gonna make a showin'
And you know you've got the right of way.
'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills;
And it's a good day for curing your ills,
.
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills;
'Cause it's a good day from morning' till night.
.
PEGGY LEE

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens
And I wonder. . . .

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
.
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
.

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
While nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation
I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree
.

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
.

I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see,
And all that I can see,
And all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree. . .

FOOL'S GARDEN

You cool your bed-warm hands down on the broken radiator,
and when you lay them freezing on me,
I mumble "Can you wake me later?"
But I don't really want you to stop
and you know it so it doesn't stop you.
And run your hands from my neck to my chest
.

Crack the shutters open wide,
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body.
.
.
I could sit for hours finding new ways
to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
just as much as I want you.
.
.
It's been minutes, it's been days,
It's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair and the cold side of the pillow
Your hills and valleys are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber, I dream all this again
..
