GARAGE PRINCESS
Julie got style, Julie got looks
Julie got leopard boots, freckles
And a smile that leaves you dangling from a hook
Julie got talent, Julie got skills
Julie got a creative sparkle
Matching them nimble hands that make it real
She’s a garage princess in a tear stained dress
A garage princess, and I know
All that she needs
Is just the power to believe
Julie got class, Julie got wits
Julie wants someone to be whole with ‘round her
But she’s afraid she can’t commit
Julie got strength, but she needs more
Julie got tired of getting hurt
She curls up into a ball and shuts the door
She’s a garage princess in a tear stained dress
A garage princess, and I know
All that she needs
Is just the power to believe
Julie feels cold, Julie feels sore
She stopped wondering if someone ever will
Stretch out the hand she’s craving for
She’s a garage princess in a tear stained dress
A garage princess, and I know
All that she needs
Is just the power to believe

Can't feel the rain

CAN’T FEEL THE RAIN
Packed up, back out on the street
Run-down, still on my feet
On the loose
Just me, myself and I
I walk alone, the path is all clear
Standing tall, going on without fear
There’s no one but me
To hold me back
I can’t feel the rain
Grinning wide as the drops glide over my face
I can’t feel the rain
That cold and bitter storm is losing the race
Black clouds, looming over the way
Won’t let them darken my day
I’ll keep on going
Till the skies are clear
I got faith, now I'm loosening my hold
'cause I know everything will unfold
The Universe
Takes care of it all
I can’t feel the rain
Grinning wide as the drops glide over my face
I can’t feel the rain
That cold and bitter storm is losing the race

SEND ME DOWN A SIGN
Can't you see me coming right across the meadow
As the nightly vapour shreds back into limbo
Can't you hear me calling outside down your window
A soothing voice muffled by the echo
All I wanna do is to help you come round
All you gotta do is to
Send me down, send me down, send me down a sign
Can't you taste the drizzle washing down your sorrows
It’s a brave new day calling for tomorrows
Can't you smell the freedom rustling through the willows
Getting closer anytime the wind blows
All I wanna do is to help you come round
All you gotta do is to
Send me down, send me down, send me down a sign
Can't you feel me trying, reaching out at you now
Climb down your tower, up to you to choose how
All I wanna do is to help you come round
All I wanna do is to help you come round
All you gotta do is to
Send me down, send me down, send me down a sign

Peekaboo

PEEKABOO
Been sitting here on my own
Been sitting here all alone
Watching the world slowly drift away
Watching the world drift away
But then I looked outside
And saw the sun shine my way
Oh well it burned so bright
Cheered me up and made my day
It had been hiding there all along
Peekaboo yeah
I’d been trapped in a golden cage
My life was flat - so flat - I turned the page
I had it all, left it all behind
I left it all, I'm feelin’ fine
‘Cause when I looked outside
And saw the sun shine my way
Oh well it burned so bright
Cheered me up, and made my day
It had been hiding there all along
Peekaboo yeah
I let the sun shine in, the sun shine in
The sun shine in through my window
Now when I stand outside
And see the sun shine my way
Oh well it burns so bright
Cheers me up and makes my day
It had been hiding there all along
Peekaboo yeah

Oh Luisa

OH LUISA
You’re a sweet poison in which I’d love to dip my lips
But the chalice looks like it’s about to split
We’ve been dancing all around, my hands on your hips
And I just don’t know when to push, when to quit
Oh Luisa, tiny little mouse from down south
Oh Luisa, won’t you let me kiss your pretty mouth
You’re playin’ with me like a kitten with twine
Draw your tiny claws in before you scratch me blind
You’ve been teasing all along till you caught me in your net
And I've got no clue when to fold, when to bet
You might be five feet tall
But you’re in control
I’m about to hit the wall
Oh Luisa, tiny little mouse from down south
Oh Luisa, won’t you let me kiss your pretty mouth

Never stop trying

NEVER STOP TRYING
Burnt your wings off tryin' to fly
First time you ever climbed that high
Pick up the pieces and stitch them back
One more pit stop then back on track
Never stop trying, never stop trying
Never stop trying, never stop if it makes you tick
Walk on crutches when in need
Everyone crawls before pickin'up speed
Once you're up there flyin' high
Keep in mind that fallin's not dyin'
Never stop trying, never stop trying
Never stop trying, never stop trying
If you don't know what to do
Try your hand at something new
When you don't fit anywhere
You can plain choose not to care
Never stop trying, never stop trying
Never stop trying, never stop trying
Never stop trying, never stop if it makes you tick

I DIDN'T KNOW
I didn't know, didn't see it coming
With my eyes wide closed, my head in the sand
Left my heart exposed, too busy to pretend
I didn't know
I let you grow, getting under my skin
I let you settle in, stir me awake
You seemed to fit right in, another costly mistake
I didn't know
Now the sun won't shine, one more pill and I'll be fine
I didn't know
I should've known, from the place you were in
From the hints you dropped, and I failed to take
The way my thinking stopped, it was so easy to fake
I didn't know
Now the sun won't shine, one more pill and I'll be fine
I didn't know
It was a battle within
Letting you go was a battle within
I never would have guessed it would hit so hard
Couldn't help but protest - you caught me off guard
Another fight I lost, torn beyond repair
I failed to see the cost, left gasping for air
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't know
Now the sun won't shine, one more pill and I'll be fine
I didn't know

WHAT COULD'VE BEEN
Another sleepless night, still awake at 4
The longing’s there, never seems to stop
I don't know how I could take it any more
Tryin' to make sense but it doesn’t add up
I miss your town, I miss your street
The dodgy corner shop where we used to meet
I miss the sun, I miss the heat
But all I can do is hang my head and weep
I miss, I miss, I miss
What could've been and never will be
The same old reel keeps on playing
Stuck in a loop, I'm about to cut
That worn-out tape rolling on and on
Honing the blade that'll edit you out
I miss your town, I miss your street
The dodgy corner shop where we used to meet
I miss the sun, I miss the heat
But all I can do is hang my head and weep
I miss, I miss, I miss
What could've been and never will be
I miss, I miss, I miss
What could've been and never will be

Hangman's Creek

HANGMAN'S CREEK
A pale and hazy day is slowly rising
I can smell the rain from the night before
The wet soil crumbles beneath my feet
I hear the rumble of Hangman's Creek
If you get the chance to meet me down there
By the river, I'll wait for you
We could build a nest and stay forever
By the river, just me and you
My weary boots carry me by the lake
Through the gnarly trees and the grassy hills
The sun is hiding behind the mist
Brown leaves are coating the Hangman's track
If you get the chance to meet me down there
By the river, I'll wait for you
We could build a nest and stay forever
By the river, just me and you
No room for suffering, by Hangman's Creek
Heaven in hiding, by Hangman's Creek
Trees are beckoning, by Hangman's Creek
Down by Hangman's Creek
By the waterhole, a wooden cabin
Among the pine cones I'll settle down
Then I'll build a fire and lend an ear to
The forest choir of Hangman's Creek
If you get the chance to meet me down there
By the river, I'll wait for you
We could build a nest and stay forever
By the river, just me and you

Ain't so bad

AIN'T SO BAD
She got a painted up face, nails to match
A silicone chest, a designer watch
She got baby seal fat rubbed into her skin
A bolted-on stare, a merciless grin
Like a trophy on display for the world to see
The price tag comes along with the fantasy
You're swaggering down the road to ecstasy
You keep on tricking yourself, till you believe that
It ain't so bad
When she wraps you 'round her finger
When she lets you writhe and linger
Till you're mad
So you're strutting your strut, footing the bills
For tonic and gin, viagra pills
She got vacuum and greed spread over her face
Such a capital catch for a pitiful chase
Like a trophy on display for the world to see
The price tag comes along with the fantasy
You're swaggering down the road to ecstasy
You keep on tricking yourself, till you believe that
It ain't so bad
When she wraps you 'round her finger
When she lets you writhe and linger
Till you're mad
Like a trophy on display for the world to see
The price tag comes along with the fantasy
She’s got you looking away as she dips in the honey jar
Wide open but your eyes afar
Spontaneous, oblivious, you wanna believe that
It ain't so bad
When she wraps you 'round her finger
When she lets you writhe and linger
Till you're mad

Wrong train

WRONG TRAIN
It was a cold Vienna night, in December
He'd flown in late and couldn't wait to feel her
His spirits were high, his focus was low
Everyone around was so damn slow
He caught the first train, eager to get into town
It didn’t take it very long to get in motion
Speeding along in the wrong direction
His spirits still high, he was sporting a smile
As he got off at the Fischamend stop, well
Till he took a look at the departure board
Got off the wrong train at the wrong time in the wrong town
There's no train coming till the morning
Gotta make it back in the dark walking
No one in sight, morale is low
Wading his way through 10 inches of snow
Holding on tight to the highway safety rail
Got off the wrong train at the wrong time in the wrong town
Like a lone ranger from a zombie novel
Underground bound, fumbling down a tunnel
It’s lonely in there, he’s dreading the thought
That right around the bend he might get caught
In thundering headlights tearing through the night
Got off the wrong train at the wrong time in the wrong town

GOTTA COME HOME
Can’t shake off this feeling
That something will go wrong
I gotta come home
I gotta come home
I gotta come home now
Ain’t no trouble trusting you
It’s just life I’m wary of
Worried that the wind would change
Blowin’ out that fragile flame
I’ve been down this road
I’ve been down this road
I’ve been down this road before
I gotta come home
I gotta come home
I gotta come home now
