Wishing Harder

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

Never thought things would end like this
Such a cruel plan, such a terrible twist
Our dreams, our plans, gone up in smoke
There goes the very last ounce of hope
What more could I do?
 
If I could wish any harder
If I thought more tears would do the trick
I would wish and cry my heart out
And weep like a lunatic
Then you’d come back to me
So, I’m wishing harder
 
So here I am, all alone, getting by
Never letting anyone see me cry
Half of me disappeared, fade to black
Lost not found with no way back
What more can I do?
 
If I could wish any harder
If I thought more tears would do the trick
I would wish and cry my heart out
And weep like a lunatic
Then you’d come back to me
So, I’m wishing harder
 
They say if at first you don’t succeed
You might as well forget it, give up, concede
Sounds like a pretty good idea to me
Fools don’t move mountains, as you can see
 
If I could wish any harder
If I thought more tears would do the trick
I would wish and cry my heart out
And weep like a lunatic
Then you’d come back to me
So, I’m wishing harder
I’m wishing harder
I’m wishing
 

My Private Jericho

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

Someday the seas will part for me
Opening gates will set us free
I will wander this desolate land
`Round & `round & `round, the way I planned
 
These stones will crumble
Walls will tumble
Down & down & down
In ruins on the ground
 
This is my private Jericho
Doesn’t matter which way I go
Maybe back to Babylon
Never ever stop, I ramble on
Here at last, in Jericho
 
I do believe, we need to know
What happened here such a long time ago
Marching in unison, our numbers grow
Giving hope to all who dare to go
 
These stones will crumble
Walls will tumble
Down & down & down
In ruins on the ground
This is my private Jericho
 
Doesn’t matter which way I go
Maybe back to Avalon
Never ever stop, I travel on
Here at last, in Jericho
My Jericho, my private Jericho
Jericho, Jericho, O Jericho
 

It Won't Be Easy

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

What’s done is done
Numb and stunned
Can’t believe that it really happened
Or maybe it hadn’t
All so unfair
Unanswered prayer
Time to reflect and review
Can’t possibly be true
 
When all hope has vanished
Look into your heart
Where joy has been banished
And your world torn apart
It won’t be easy, no it won’t be easy
But someday soon it will be worth it
I promise
 
The pain, the cost
No one else shares your loss
You suffer alone
How could they have known?
Life can be so cruel
 
When all hope has vanished
Look into your heart
Where joy has been banished
And your world torn apart
It won’t be easy, no it won’t be easy
But someday soon it will be worth it
I promise
 
One day, you’ll look back and wonder
How you ever climbed out from under
Stars were extinguished
Total darkness unleashed
The light was just out of reach
 
When all hope has vanished
Look into your heart
Where joy has been banished
And your world torn apart
It won’t be easy, no it won’t be easy
But someday soon it will be worth it
I promise

Sparks and Hearts

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

Feel the sparks, burning marks on all my senses
Chain reaction, full attraction, drop all defenses
I know that you can feel it, see it, desperately need it
Hypnotism, magnetism, say that you believe it
 
Sparks and hearts, a dangerous combination
Hearts and sparks, a delicious temptation
A secret rendezvous, we need to follow through
I want to be with you.
 
Uncontrolled, undeniable, feel the energy
Boiling over, run for cover, just you wait and see
Sizzling, drizzling, flaming, too hot to touch
Sharing, daring, baring, do you think it’s too much?
 
Sparks and hearts, a dangerous combination
Hearts and sparks, a delicious temptation
A secret rendezvous, we need to follow through
I want to be with you.
 
Two hopeful hearts collide, chemistry, destiny
One giant spark, flicker, trigger, breathlessly, ecstasy
 
Sparks and hearts, a dangerous combination
Hearts and sparks, a delicious temptation
A secret rendezvous, we need to follow through
I want to be with you
I want to be with you

I'm Afraid of the Dance Floor

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of the dance floor
Always looking for the back door
You know I can’t dance
I’m only here for romance
 
Don’t make me do it
I don’t wanna move-it move-it
Too many sweaty bodies and too much bass
Hands in the air, frikkin’ lasers in my face
I just wanna wiggle in place
 
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of the dance floor
Always looking for the back door
You know I can’t dance
I’m only here for romance
 
I don’t belong here
Crowds are what I fear
Hope nobody laughs at me
Or throws me off the balcony
Gravity hurts!
 
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of the dance floor
Always looking for the back door
You know I can’t dance
I’m only here for romance
 
I don’t do the dance floor
Can’t take it anymore
Throbbing, pulsing, pounding
Feel like I’m drowning
Fancy Pants don’t dance!
 
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of the dance floor
Always looking for the back door
You know I can’t dance
I’m only here for romance

Promise Me

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

Like two specks of dust, we seem to float
Falling gracefully, from note to note
A gentle breeze propels us thru the night
The rising sun illuminates our flight
 
Oh, please, please, please promise me
You’ll remember our dream for eternity
Oh so beautiful but gone so fast
Like shooting stars when lovers pass
Promise me
 
Nothing short of a miracle
Our paths create a single particle
I missed the boat, I missed the boat
A thousand years too late
Words I never spoke
 
Oh, please, please, please promise me
You’ll remember our dream for eternity
Oh so beautiful but gone so fast
Like shooting stars when lovers pass
Promise me
 
I asked too much of you, it wasn’t fair
Rolled the dice, but didn’t have a prayer
Another time and place
This could’ve worked
Sharing love and trust, without the hurt
 
Oh, please, please, please promise me
You’ll remember our dream for eternity
Oh so beautiful but gone so fast
Like shooting stars when lovers pass
Promise me

Kettle #2

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

What can I say? What can I do?
Nothing ever works out when I try to please you
Tongue tied, brain fried, I'll put the kettle on
 
Where did I go? Who did I see?
When and where and why and what's the matter with me?!
On trial? No denial, I'll put the kettle on
 
Fancy a coffee, fancy a tea?
Make us some jam bütties
and some Wensleydale cheese
Time out, no doubt
Meet me in the kitchen and we’ll bang it all out
Oh, and...
 
I'll put the kettle on, the devil be gone
My luvly kettle’s on
I'll put the kettle on
Fire up the kettle, Goddess of Metal
Everything's betta
When she's steaming and singing and hot!
 
Take out the cat, take out the bin
Backed into a corner here we are once again
Hold on, wait a tic!
I need to think a bit
 
Fire up the coals. Mind how you go, Pet
The Queen of Arbitration is about to hold Court
So, when we’ve gone crackers
Barking mad knackered
A stonking proppa cuppa
Will never interrupt ya, oh and...
 
I'll put the kettle on, the devil be gone
My wicked kettle’s on
I'll put the kettle on
Fire up the kettle, Goddess of Metal
Everything's betta
When she's gleaming and dreaming and singing and steaming and bright!
 
Life would be grander
If we all put that bloody kettle on!
(Steady on, Guvnor!)
 
Fire up the kettle, Goddess of Metal
Everything's betta
When she's steaming and singing and hot!
