Just about anything that is well written, played and produced. The evidence is all over the page really.
It is amazing how widespread a collection can become especially when you reach an age where you are not bound by fashion and stereotypical images of what you should or shouldn’t be listening to. An example, Deep Purple to Chantal Kreviazuk via Burton Cummings and The Guess Who. As a sixteen year old you buy Deep Purple’s Machine Head album. From that you get into all the other Deep Purple albums and the solo projects of the musicians involved. Hence Tommy Bolin was in the James Gang so you get into them. The guitarist before him was Domenic Troiano, you like his songs and you discover he was in The Guess Who. You buy their albums and discover vocalist Burton Cummings who subsequently becomes one of your favourite artists. Then many years later whilst searching for CD remasters on a Canadian Website you discover a female singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk and she subsequently leads you down another road entirely.

My Lyrics
Pimp My ProfileTortured Soul
There is a movement in the shadows, he knows the time is near
So now his heart it beats faster, but he won't give in to the fear
He stay still as a mouse now, loaded gun in his hand
This war isn't his battle, but it was his fathers land
And he's a tortured soul, it's battered and beaten
A tortured soul
Got nowhere to run, no place to hide, nowhere to go
Just a tortured soul
Not a sound in the farmhouse, just the light of the moon
He moves swiftly through the shadows don't want to strike too soon
Sees him hiding still as a mouse now, though he once was a friend
They said kill him for your country, then his land you can tend
But he's a tortured soul, it's battered and beaten
A tortured soul
Got nowhere to run, no place to hide, nowhere to go
Just a tortured soul
She's been alone for so long now, without a hand to hold
Except for those of her children, they stop her heart growing cold
But they all sit around the table, hungry mouths to feed
So she stands on the corner, to get what they need
Because she's a tortured soul, it's battered and beaten
A tortured soul
Got nowhere to run, no place to hide, nowhere to go
Just a tortured soul
He drives slowly around the corner, until he catches her eye
She smiles at him so sweetly, it makes his heart want to cry
He vows today he must tell her, for he senses she must have a clue
But his resolve will desert him, just like she knew it would do
And they're tortured souls, they're battered and beaten
Tortured souls
Got nowhere to run, no place to hide, nowhere to go
Just tortured souls
Now we all have our fears, and we all have our dreams
We want something to be realised, and something never to have been
But we can't all get what we pray for, that should be easy to see
Because what gives freedom to the chained, might chain the free
That's why we're tortured souls, we're battered and beaten
We're all tortured souls
Nowhere to run, no place to hide, nowhere to go
Just tortured souls

Unconditional Love
She brings to me a little sunshine on a rainy morning
Chase away the clouds and leave me with a sky of blue
Turn my life around make it nothing other than better
There's only selflessness in everything that she can do
And she don't need diamonds just my time
No need for silver on her shoulder
She's got a heart that's made of gold
Like a guiding light burning ever brighter
She gives me an unconditional love
Means more than anything money can buy
She gives me an unconditional love
And it will always be mine until the day I die
She makes the stars shine brighter in the darkened night sky
Moonbeams dance like angels sent from heaven above
Makes me strong when she holds me in the midnight hour
Takes my heart and fills it full of only love
And she don't need diamonds just my time
No need for silver on her shoulder
She's got a heart that's made of gold
Like a guiding light burning ever brighter
She gives me an unconditional love
Means more than anything money can buy
She gives me an unconditional love
And it will always be mine until the day I die
She turns the tides brings calm unto the raging ocean
Warms the rain and makes a rainbow in a sky of grey
Gives me strength to climb a mountain ever higher
She brings me love, means more to me than words can say
And she don't need diamonds just my time
No need for silver on her shoulder
She's got a heart that's made of gold
Like a guiding light burning ever brighter
She gives me an unconditional love
Means more than anything money can buy
She gives me an unconditional love
And it will always be mine until the day I die

Can't Find A Way
It was a cold and rainy winters night
With just one look from you I knew it was right
I asked when you'd be ready for love
You said I'm ready now
You looked so perfect in the cool moonlight
Your smile set my heart alight
It was burning like the strongest flame
But just look at me now
I'm up all night just walking around
Even the light of the moon has started to get me down
Can't find a way to get you off my mind
Can't find a way to get you off my mind
When I took you to my lonely room
The scent of you it lifted the gloom
I was flying on the wings of love
But they soon let me down
Before the morning you had left me alone
My burning heart turned colder than stone
All you left were broken dreams
Look what you've done to me now
I'm up all night just walking around
Even the light of the moon has started to get me down
Can't find a way to get you off my mind
Can't find a way to get you off my mind
Now I just don't know what to do
I can't find a way to get my mind off you
I'm left standing in this valley of fears
Waiting to drown in a river of tears
If there's a place in your heart for my love
Let me know it now
Because I'd give you everything that I've got
Even though it isn't maybe a lot
The thought of you is driving me mad
Just take a look at me now
I'm up all night just walking around
Even the light of the moon has started to get me down
Can't find a way to get you off my mind
Can't find a way to get you off my mind

Killing Myself To Live
There's a crack in the mirror
I'm looking into my eyes trying to search for the very depths of my soul
My whole body's aching and my will is breaking
Is it time for letting go
This world is tearing out my heart
Stealing pieces of my soul
It's tearing out my heart
There's got to be a better way
Feel like I'm just killing myself to live
Now the sun's stopped shining
The rain inside my heart it hammers down so hard and so cold
Maybe my world has just stopped turning
But I'm left standing here feeling so alone and so old
This world is tearing out my heart
Stealing pieces of my soul
It's tearing out my heart
There's got to be a better way
Feel like I'm just killing myself to live
These days they are growing longer
And when the night falls, sleep it only seems to come and to go
The starlight has lost its wonder
And the moon just no longer seems to glow
This world is tearing out my heart
Stealing pieces of my soul
It's tearing out my heart
There's got to be a better way
Feel like I'm just killing myself to live
Won't someone tell me what I'm supposed to do
This isn't meant to be my time for dying
Someone help me to make it through
Help me make it through this crying
Because there's so many things that I just don't want to let go
But this world keeps tearing out my heart
Stealing pieces of my soul
It's tearing out my heart
There's got to be a better way
Feel like I'm just killing myself to live

Kingdom Of Freedom
It was long ago in an ancient world, in a land ruled by a king
Where you lived by your word or died by the sword, as the heavenly angels would sing
That a boy was born on a winters morn, who was born to be the man
To lead them all make evil fall, and bring peace unto the land
The years passed he became of age, and he formed an iron will
He grew tall and broad learned how to use a sword, and he learned how to kill
Then it came to pass one hallows eve, that the time had come to go
He said its time to fight with all my might, to send evil back below
And he said
When I return here
I will bring you freedom you'll never suffer again at the hands of kings and fools
When I return here
It will be a kingdom where peace and freedom rules
The kingdom of freedom
Castles full of music and magic will reign never again will we feel the pain
Of hunger and war with innocents slain when the kingdom of freedom rises again
So they gave him a charger of brilliant white, that stood higher than a hill
As his armour shone he was gone, said he wouldn't be back until
The evil king was dead by the blade of his sword, and his castle lay in ruins
A thousand men decided to follow him then, in absolution of their sins
So they rode through the day and they rode through the night, over many a terrain
Through sun and snow they cried on we go, until the evil one is slain
Then they saw in the distance the castle walls, and in their hearts they felt the fear
They didn't want to die at dawn on a frosty morn, without a loved one near
But they cried
When we return from here
We will bring you freedom you'll never suffer again at the hands of kings and fools
When we return from here
It will be a kingdom where peace and freedom rules
The kingdom of freedom
Castles full of music and magic will reign never again will we feel the pain
Of hunger and war with innocents slain when the kingdom of freedom rises again
When the day was done there were many who'd gone
To meet their maker in the sky
But the king was one he'd become undone
He heard them say as he did die
When we return from here
We will bring you freedom you'll never suffer again at the hands of kings and fools
When we return from here
It will be a kingdom where peace and freedom rules
The kingdom of freedom
Castles full of music and magic will reign never again will we feel the pain
Of hunger and war with innocents slain when the kingdom of freedom rises again

Cradle To The Grave
Tears on a gravestone they won't change a thing
All the crying in the world isn't going to bring
A return to the mortal from the place that they now dwell
Just believe they've found their heaven and not their hell
Because it's a long hard road from the cradle to the grave
There are many ways to travel many ways to behave
But we're all born naked in need of a mothers love
And we all die praying that there's something up above
Now your days are filled with sadness for a wasted life
Learn from this a lesson and put things right
Take every chance to smell the flowers don't let life pass you by
Because we all control our destiny and we all are born to die
And it's a long hard road from the cradle to the grave
There are many ways to travel many ways to behave
But we're all born naked in need of a mothers love
And we all die praying that there's something up above
Time they say is a healer and that you must believe
To face every day to live and love and breathe
Soon the sun will come out shining but now and again the rain will fall
Let your tears flow with the water no one will mind at all
Because it's a long hard road from the cradle to the grave
There are many ways to travel many ways to behave
But we're all born naked in need of a mothers love
And we all die praying that there's something up above

Echoes In Eternity
Can't sleep when I close my eyes
All I see is your face comes as no surprise
Every night always seems the same
No one there when I'm calling out your name
All I hear are the echoes in eternity
Ghostly voices in my mind are haunting me
Whispering in a broken down harmony
Just the sound of the echoes in eternity
Can't eat when I break my daily bread
Words you said keep going round my head
Been the same since you left me all alone
No reply when I call you on the phone
All I hear are the echoes in eternity
Ghostly voices in my mind are haunting me
Whispering in a broken down harmony
Just the sound of the echoes in eternity
Can't dance when the music's playing out
Try to sing I can only scream and shout
Tune is gone since the day you went away
Took my blues and turned them shades of grey
All I hear are the echoes in eternity
Ghostly voices in my mind are haunting me
Whispering in a broken down harmony
Just the sound of the echoes in eternity
And I just can't seem to find any peace of mind
Feels like the sands of time are slipping away
And your love has left me blind
All I hear are the echoes in eternity
Ghostly voices in my mind are haunting me
Whispering in a broken down harmony
Just the sound of the echoes in eternity

L.E.L (For A Little Love)
She sits in the corner and nobody cares
The candlelight flickers but there's nobody there
All she has are her poems all written in tunes
No laughter to echo around in her rooms
So she turns to the wall and patiently waits
The silence not broken by the tears on her face
And her heart is breaking for a little love, yes her heart is breaking for a little love
She was sent like an angel from heaven above, but her heart it is breaking for a little love
The wind in the trees whisper her pleas for a little love, for a little love
The sun in the sky wondering why she still cries for a little love, for a little love
She walks in the garden for long lonely hours
The emptiness filled by the scent of the flowers
And she wanders alone down the long leafy lane
Her only companions the hurt and the pain
For her heart it beats heavy she's been waiting so long
She hears only sorrow in every birds song
And her heart is breaking for a little love, yes her heart is breaking for a little love
She was sent like an angel from heaven above, but her heart it is breaking for a little love
The wind in the trees whisper her pleas for a little love, for a little love
The sun in the sky wondering why she still cries for a little love, for a little love
She goes to the city and everyone stares
They whisper in huddles about her private affairs
They can't cope with her wisdom, witty repartee
Won't leave her in peace to be happy and free
So she forms a liaison with an unkindly man
And with him she leaves for a faraway land
But her heart is breaking for a little love, yes her heart is breaking for a little love
She was sent like an angel from heaven above, but her heart it is breaking for a little love
The wind in the trees whisper her pleas for a little love, for a little love
The sun in the sky wondering why she still cries for a little love, for a little love
Now she lies in a grave in that faraway land
Some say she was put there by her own fair hand
Others they whisper and say it was he
Who just couldn't cope with the jealousy
She may have gone but she left much behind
So many fine words to open your mind
But her heart is breaking for a little love, yes her heart is breaking for a little love
She was sent like an angel from heaven above, but her heart it is breaking for a little love
The wind in the trees whisper her pleas for a little love, for a little love
The sun in the sky wondering why she still cries for a little love, for a little love

Girl Of My Dreams
Once upon a time about a year ago, thought I was going crazy
Couldn't get shot of my yesterdays, then it all changed when you came my way
I didn't make it any mystery, the way I felt about you and me
You wanted time but I couldn't see, now all I've done is make us history
Don't you know you are the girl of my dreams
Put to shame all the beauty queens
Much better than the girls in the magazines
Baby you are the girl of my dreams
On a fine sunny day when the sky was so blue, that was when I fell in love with you
I bought you flowers I shared in your dreams, and for a while it was heaven for me
We couldn't make it any mystery, the way we felt about you and me
We needed time but we couldn't see, now all we've done is make us history
Don't you know you are the girl of my dreams
Put to shame all the beauty queens
Much better than the girls in the magazines
Baby you are the girl of my dreams
One night when my heart was in misery, that was when you fell out of love with me
No promises of love faith and honesty, could ever put back the trust you'd lost in me
You didn't make it any mystery, the way you felt about you and me
You needed time but I still couldn't see, so all you could do was make us history
Don't you know you are the girl of my dreams
Put to shame all the beauty queens
Much better than the girls in the magazines
Baby you are the girl of my dreams
Now in the evening rain when the sky is so grey, think I'm going crazy
Don't want to get shot of my yesterdays, make it all change come back my way
I won't make it any mystery, the way I still feel about you and me
We got enough time can't I make you see, that we could still go down in history
Don't you know you are the girl of my dreams
Put to shame all the beauty queens
Much better than the girls in the magazines
Baby you are the girl of my dreams

Red Wine And Roses
A photograph and some memories, is all I have left of you
Though you once were everything in my life
A lot of good days with love and harmony, nights were special too
Then you cut me deep just like a switchblade knife
Because one sad day you took your hand away, made me shed a tear
Told me that you never could be mine
The love was lost and the magic was gone, filled my heart with fear
Now I'm sitting here in misery crying all the time
Do you miss the red wine and roses, that I used to bring around
Like I miss your breath on my shoulder, whenever I'm in town
Do you miss the red wine and roses
Did you spill the wine, have the flowers died away
Then right out of the blue I got a call from you, sadness left my heart
Seemed like maybe I'd get another chance with you
We lazed in the sun loved in the corn, made a brand new start
And you told me there and then our love was true
You said you must go try to put things right, till then I mustn't tell
So I sit here waiting each and every night
Days have passed I haven't heard a thing, its like a living hell
And I just don't know what to do to make it right
Do you miss the red wine and roses, that I used to bring around
Like I miss your breath on my shoulder, whenever I'm in town
Do you miss the red wine and roses
Did you spill the wine, have the flowers died away
Why do you keep on haunting me, in the dead of night I wonder
Head is spinning turn me upside down, angels cry and the demons whisper
Find myself just walking round the town, up and down the streets I wander
Seems that I just can't let you go, even though I'm better with another
Do you miss the red wine and roses, that I used to bring around
Like I miss your breath on my shoulder, whenever I'm in town
Do you miss the red wine and roses
Did you spill the wine, have the flowers died away

The Way The Wind Blows
When the night falls
And the moonlight wraps its arms around the world
That's when my soul calls
Puts a restless feeling in my mind
In the morning
When the sunshine bathes the world in golden light
Time to move on
So much in this world to find
I've spent all my life, head up in the clouds
Chasing fading rainbows
Only seem to go the way the four winds blow
Won't you come with me the way the wind blows
Right here on this world
I've been to heaven and I've been to hell
Danced with angels
The devil by my side has roamed
I've lain in doorways
And slept in palaces and castles made of gold
Dined in the gutter
Ate from a table laid for Kings and Queens
I've spent all my life, head up in the clouds
Chasing fading rainbows
Only seem to go the way the four winds blow
Won't you come with me the way the wind blows
I've sailed oceans
Climbed mountains high, walked valleys low
Across the plains and prairies
Through ice and rain, sun and snow
I'll keep on moving
East or west, south or north
Whenever my soul calls
I'll go the way those four winds blow
I've spent all my life, head up in the clouds
Chasing fading rainbows
Only seem to go the way the four winds blow
Won't you come with me the way the wind blows

What Have You Done For Me Lately
There was a time you meant the world to me
Sweetest apple on a green apple tree
Now you leave me lonely and you leave me sad
Where's the love that I once had
The blue in the sky is clouding over grey
Rain clouds chase the sun away
In my mind I start to wonder why
Then my heart begins to sigh
What have you done for me lately
Apart from break my heart
What have you done for me lately
But take my whole world apart
I don't know
We used to see the world in similar ways
Through so many finer days
Now all I see is coldness in your eyes
And all I hear is lies
I'm still here but with no hand to hold
Just a heart that's growing cold
So it's an inner strength that I must find
But there's still one thing on my mind
What have you done for me lately
Apart from break my heart
What have you done for me lately
But take my whole world apart
I don't know
I guess its time for us to say goodbye
Up high on silver wings I'll fly
They'll take me some place far away and new
And I'll no longer think of you
I won't even sit and shed a tear
As I turn and walk away from here
Because I know now as I go away
That I can truly say
What have you done for me lately
Apart from break my heart
What have you done for me lately
But take my whole world apart
I don't know

She'll Be Home
As I look out across the water
There's a light hanging low in the sky
It's just a flicker on the distant horizon
But it sure makes me happy tonight
My girl is riding on that steamer
As it travels from the east to the west
It's been so long since I've seen her
Soon all my troubles I can put them to rest
I've just been sitting beneath the moon and stars glow
Watching the tides as they ebb and they flow
But by tomorrow I'll be happy I know
She'll be home
She's been gone for so long across that water
Sometimes I felt like my heart it would die
Been so lonely here living without her
I need her like the sun needs the sky
There's a chill in the air in the summer
When she's not here by my side
But there's a warmth in the rain in the winter
When she's here my love I can't hide
She's my oasis in a desert of despair
A gentle breeze in the warm summer air
By tomorrow I won't have a care
She'll be home

Sad Man
I was born outside the city under a willow down by the creek
My family frowned on laughter, of the city they would not speak
Mama taught me all the scriptures papa told me right from wrong
But no-one showed me how to laugh or sing a joyful song
So in a clearing by the river I built myself a home
I worked hard until my hands bled through moving rocks and stone
Planned to fill it full of laughter and fill it full of song
But I remembered mama's stories and papa's thoughts on right from wrong
Sometimes it takes a blind man to see the beauty all around
Sometimes it takes a deaf man to hear a heavenly sound
Sometimes it takes a lame man to walk the extra mile
And sometimes it takes a sad man to show you how to smile
And I'm a sad sad man can't ease my troubled mind
There's a hundred roads to travel the right one I can't find
A sad sad man my fate and fortune I bemoan
I know a thousand words of wisdom not one of them my own
Many times I thought about the city but my people wouldn't tell
Said it belonged to the devil was another name for hell
But I'd grown tired of the wilderness and I vowed one day to go
Seek my fame and fortune the world my name would know
Then I came upon a lady she was dressed in silk and lace
Her hands were jewelled in diamonds she had a pretty smiling face
She told me tales about the city, bright lights and the neon glow
Wrapped my belongings in a blanket and I set off to go
Sometimes it takes a blind man to see the beauty all around
Sometimes it takes a deaf man to hear a heavenly sound
Sometimes it takes a lame man to walk the extra mile
And sometimes it takes a sad man to show you how to smile
And I'm a sad sad man can't ease my troubled mind
There's a hundred roads to travel the right one I can't find
A sad sad man my fate and fortune I bemoan
I know a thousand words of wisdom not one of them my own
Now the city didn't greet me with open arms and a loving smile
Dirty streets and angry faces plagued me every mile
Everyone in a hurry, all the people rushing around
Empty hearts and lonely souls just covered all the ground
Fame and fortune didn't find me my name no-one would speak
Soon realised the place for me was under a willow down by a creek
The lady she soon left me when the money it did go
So I set off for the river and followed its homeward flow
Sometimes it takes a blind man to see the beauty all around
Sometimes it takes a deaf man to hear a heavenly sound
Sometimes it takes a lame man to walk the extra mile
And sometimes it takes a sad man to show you how to smile
And I'm a sad sad man can't ease my troubled mind
There's a hundred roads to travel the right one I can't find
A sad sad man my fate and fortune I bemoan
I know a thousand words of wisdom not one of them my own

Across The Land And The Sea
I thought we could shine like the stars in the night sky
Throwing our light across the land and the sea
I hoped we would stay wrapped up high in the heavens
My princess and me there for eternity
But now it seems that our light is already fading
And a darkness descends across the land and the sea
So must I take to the road in search of the answer
That will help us to shine on eternally
I walked through the forests and climbed every mountain
I strode and I swam across the land and the sea
Then on one sunny day I came to an old man
He said sit down and tell your story to me
So I told him the tale and spoke of my princess
And how I'd travelled so far across the land and the sea
He said haven't you realised there isn't an answer
Just what's in your heart and that's the way it should be
So I set off for home my heart beating heavy
Made light of the journey across the land and the sea
The old man had shown me the reason for loving
And now I knew we could shine on for eternity
But when I came to the place it was lonely and empty
My princess had gone across the land and the sea
She'd grown tired of waiting and needed the answer
So her love light could shine on eternally
I returned to the forests and scaled all the mountains
Searched high and searched low across the land and the sea
Then just like before I came to the old man
He said your princess was here quite recently
She's on her way home and she knows there's no answer
So move swiftly and safely across the land and the sea
Then your light it will shine like the stars in the night sky
Because of what's in your hearts and that's the way it should be

Dying On The Inside
Janey goes off to work in the morning
Wearing a painted on smile
And she lies through the day faking happy
But she's breaking her heart all the while
She dreams through the day chasing rainbows
Waiting for her train to arrive
Because she cried through the night counting heartaches
Searching for the strength to stay alive
Because she waiting for some kind of sign
Waiting for the light to help her shine
While she's dying on the inside all the time
Yes she's dying on the inside all the time
Johnny got a gun inside his jacket
And a mood to match his steely frown
Had a bad night on the bottle
Don't the world kick a man when he's down
But this world to him it once looked better
Wasn't supposed to be this way
But he can't find the will to pull the trigger
Got too many things he needs to say
'Cos he's still waiting for a chance to shine
Waiting like a diamond hidden in a mine
But he's dying on the inside all the time
Yes he's dying on the inside all the time
Janey finds him sitting in the corner
Of a lonely downtown bar
Johnny turns around and his eyes they flicker
How did they let things get this far
Janey takes his hand and presses harder
Than she's ever done before
Johnny leaves his gun under the table
Before they head off through the door
Now she's given him a chance to shine
And he's given her a kind of sign
They shouldn't be dying on the inside all the time
Shouldn't be dying on the inside all the time

Everything's Over
And now I know that it is true, now that I have lived with you
You tried to rule me all the time, even tried to kill my own free mind
Friends said to me you were no good, you'd bring me down you surely would
But the way they spoke it made me cry, because I thought it was all a lie
I gave to you my heart, let you cry on my shoulder
I gave to you my strength, it made you feel bolder
I gave to you the warmth, when your soul became colder
I gave to you the grace, showed you how to grow older
But now you take me apart, everything's over
Now it's over, over and over
Yes I gave you my heart, felt your tears on my shoulder
Now it's over, over and over, everything's over
Suddenly I can see the things you do, the evil ways you are into
Well now you are no friend of mine, just planning your misery all the time
You hid it all so well behind your smile, was it wickedness all the while
Maybe I'm the fool to wonder why, but didn't I see you cry
I gave to you my heart, let you cry on my shoulder
I gave to you my strength, it made you feel bolder
I gave to you the warmth, when your soul became colder
I gave to you the grace, showed you how to grow older
But now you take me apart, everything's over
Now it's over, over and over
Yes I gave you my heart, felt your tears on my shoulder
Now it's over, over and over, everything's over
I know I must travel far away, if I'm to see the dawning of a brighter day
Far from the sadness of your heart, and try to make a brand new start
But I still feel you're in control, maybe your evil has got into my soul
Because now and again in mind there's a doubt, what if I had never found you out
I gave to you my heart, let you cry on my shoulder
I gave to you my strength, it made you feel bolder
I gave to you the warmth, when your soul became colder
I gave to you the grace, showed you how to grow older
But now you take me apart, everything's over
Now it's over, over and over
Yes I gave you my heart, felt your tears on my shoulder
Now it's over, over and over, everything's over

Lost Without A Trace
Rising with the dawn, it's a beautiful day
Though there's a sadness and an aching in my heart
Many suns have set and risen again since I went away
But this emptiness is tearing me apart
Walking down this rocky road lonely like the wind
Rolling like the waves on the sea
No-one to guide me, no-one to find me
No-one to set my spirit free
Because I'm lost without a trace
Just a hiding my face
Living with the loneliness
Out here in the wilderness
I'm lost without a trace
And I know I can't take another heartache
Lost without a trace
Laying under misty skies, another cold and sleepless night
Moonlight shadows never seem to comfort me
Can't see it in the stars, they won't give me a sign
Maybe I could just be too blind to see
I'm just a drifting dreamer on my own again
Searching for someone that I can call a friend
But my heart it won't surrender, gives me only pain
Still I'll keep on hoping till the very end
Because I'm lost without a trace
Just a hiding my face
Living with the loneliness
Out here in the wilderness
I'm lost without a trace
And I know I can't take another heartache
Lost without a trace

My Lyrics
Pimp My ProfileMisty, The Morning And The Sea
Misty came to me one summers day in June
The morning sun still rising in the sky
I first saw the beauty in her face
As the sunlight reflected in her eye
She spoke to me only with the softest words
And then she turned and walked away
I tried to call her back but she was gone
Nothing I could do to make her stay
All this world means to me
Is misty, the morning and the sea
The only things that set my spirit free
Are misty, the morning and the sea
I sailed the seas, I sailed the oceans
Through summer, winter, spring and fall
Raging seas and stormy weather
I hardly even noticed them at all
But nowhere I could sail took me to her
Never even found any kind of sign
My heart lay shipwrecked on the water
It seemed I was never gonna make her mine
All this world means to me
Is misty, the morning and the sea
The only things that set my spirit free
Are misty, the morning and the sea
I stepped out in the morning, of a dark winters day
All the cold snow lay frozen on the ground
But the air it hit me warm and soothing
Then I heard a heavenly sound
For she spoke to me only in the softest words
Took me by the hand and led me away
To my little boat out in the harbour
Said this is the place I'm gonna stay
All this world means to me
Is misty, the morning and the sea
The only things that set my spirit free
Are misty, the morning and the sea

Another Space In Time
Here I am
Standing at your door
I found the way
Feel like I’ve been here before
It’s like déjà vu baby .….
Or some mystical sign
When I close my eyes
I see you every time
I’ve searched a hundred highways
Trawled as many seas
Been looking so hard
It nearly brought me to my knees
And now I’ve found you again
After all this time
A thousand years
Have passed since you were mine
We’re lovers from another space in time
We’ll be lovers again
When you read all the signs
Lovers from another space in time
You’re the Guinevere
In my Arthurian dream
You’re the fade out kiss
In every Hollywood scene
It’s like kismet baby …….
Or some cosmic sign
And when you open the door
Everything will be just fine
When I look in your eyes
I will see inside your soul
To find you again
Has been my only goal
Once again you’ll be mine
After all of this time
You’re the tune in the song
The words to every rhyme
We’re lovers from another space in time
We’ll be lovers again
When you read all the signs
Lovers from another space in time

Bad Bad Bad
Well I’m gonna tell you a little tale
About a girl they should’ve thrown in jail
Now everybody thought that she was good
But she was full, full of bad blood
She used to drink a little too much wine
Take a trip down on the powder line
There was nothing that she wouldn’t try
To help the day go by
Well she’d take a little poor boys heart
Tear it out and rip it apart
Then she’d send him back from where he came
Without recalling his name
Cos she was bad bad bad
But she was so good
Bad bad bad
But baby so good
Bad bad bad
Just like a good girl should
Then one day she met a real bad man
She said you’re trouble and he said I am
Though everybody thought that he was good
He was full, full of bad blood
He would stay out drinking all night long
Sing some sweet little lady a song
There was nothing that he wouldn’t try
To help the night pass by
But that girl she went and stole his heart
For a change she didn’t tear it apart
And when she sent him back from where he came
It was all part of the game
Cos she was bad bad bad
But she was so good
Bad bad bad
But baby so good
Bad bad bad
Just like a good girl should

Little Miss Innocence
I took a chance on a girl from the sweeter side of town
She didn't like me to drink didn't like it when the boys came round
Said we got too loud drank a little too much beer
It was time that I settled down, better if they weren't here
So we took a trip to a bar on the latin side of town
We only wanted a drink ended up tying one down
The senoritas were sweet and the whisky poured like rain
But then when I got back home she gave me only pain
Little miss innocence with her eyes of blue
I made a little mistake now what am I to do
A little miss understanding but she won't hear a sound
Little miss innocence don't want me around
I put my key in the door and I crept onto the stair
I was bathed in light suddenly she was standing there
She said I could sleep in the car even though it didn't have a floor
And by the morning light my case would be by the door
Little miss innocence with her eyes of blue
I made a little mistake now what am I to do
A little miss understanding but she won't hear a sound
Little miss innocence don't want me around
I took a walk round the town, and my mind began to roam
I had to try and find a way to get myself back home
I called her up on the phone and I promised to be oh so fine
But she said what am I to do, you do this every time
Little miss innocence with her eyes of blue
I made a little mistake now what am I to do
A little miss understanding but she won't hear a sound
Little miss innocence don't want me around

The Original King Of Sin
He may seem to you just like a normal guy
He gets low and he gets high
He likes women and he likes a drink
He ain't as regular as you might think
He'll steal the woman straight out of your bed
And steal the thoughts right out of your head
Then while you just stand around and cry
He'll go and bleed you dry
He's the original king of sin, don't you let him in
He's the original king of sin, you don't know where he's been
He spends all day locked up without the light
He only ventures to the world at night
He hangs around on the darkest street
He likes them pretty, young and oh so sweet
He'll sink his teeth into your deepest vain
Until your blood it pours like winter rain
He's the baddest guy in this whole town
No one can knock him down
He's the original king of sin, don't you let him in
He's the original king of sin, you don't know where he's been
You'll need more than spells and pointy sticks
If you're gonna stop him getting his bad kicks
He's worse than any other that there's been
Ain't no way that you could ever win
His only desire is to cause you pain
Scare you crazy and drive you insane
Watch you quiver like a jelly-fish
And then he's got his wish
He's the original king of sin, don't you let him in
He's the original king of sin, you don't know where he's been
He's a vampire only seen at night
Gonna give you such a real big fright
He's out for blood he needs a bite to eat
So he sits quietly in the corner seat
Of any sleazy little downtown bar
As long as it don't take him away too far
Cos when the slayer comes to hunt him down
He don't want to be around
He's the original king of sin, don't you let him in
He's the original king of sin, you don't know where he's been

Some Kind Of Woman
She has the look of a princess, flashing eyes of emerald green
The spirit of the hunter, the grace of the finest Queen
She has the smile of a child, fills my heart with love
The power of a goddess sent from up above
Some kind of woman, with the grace of a swan
Some kind of woman, to keep turning me on
Some kind of woman, never do me no wrong
Some kind of woman, love me all night long
She is as wild as the ocean, as calm as the mountain stream
The ways to turn a nightmare into the finest dream
She is as warm as the sunshine, as refreshing as the summer rain
The healing hands of kindness that take away the pain
Some kind of woman, with the grace of a swan
Some kind of woman, to keep turning me on
Some kind of woman, never do me no wrong
Some kind of woman, love me all night long
She has the strength of a woman, the weakness of a new born child
The passion of a lover, like a tigress untamed and wild
She has the heart of an angel, shines brighter than any star
The moonbeams chase her footsteps no matter where they are
Some kind of woman, with the grace of a swan
Some kind of woman, to keep turning me on
Some kind of woman, never do me no wrong
Some kind of woman, love me all night long
She is as pretty as a picture, sharper than any photograph
The ways to make you cry, the ways to make you laugh
She is as close as a heartbeat, as distant as the morning sun
The lady is my one true love until my life is done
Some kind of woman, with the grace of a swan
Some kind of woman, to keep turning me on
Some kind of woman, never do me no wrong
Some kind of woman, love me all night long

Too Good For You
Well she was walking down the boulevard in her Gucci shoes
She got the look that was bound to give unhandsome men the blues
But I decided to try my luck I said baby look at you
There ain't a place in the whole wide world you wouldn't make the view
She turned to me and said let me tell you something straight
You ain't got a hope in hell of any kind of date
'Cos it looks a bad deal from my point of view
Because you get me and all I get is you
I'm too good for you, you're not enough for me
Baby can't you see
Too good for you not good enough for me
That's the way its gonna be
Well she was cruising down the avenue in her sports machine
She got the look that was pretty hot but just a little mean
I flagged her down trying to act oh so cool
But she just looked at me like I was some low down fool
She turned to me and said let me tell you something straight
You ain't got a hope in hell of any kind of date
'Cos it looks a bad deal from my point of view
Because you get me and all I get is you
I'm too good for you, you're not enough for me
Baby can't you see
Too good for you not good enough for me
That's the way its gonna be
Well one night she saw me standing on the stage playing my new guitar
All the world is looking at me now that I'm a superstar
She tried a wave tried anything to catch my eye
She said I been thinking and I'm gonna give you a try
I turned to her and said let me tell you something straight
You ain't got a hope in hell of any kind of date
'Cos it looks a bad deal from my point of view
Because you get me and all I get is you
I'm too good for you, you're not enough for me
Baby can't you see
Too good for you not good enough for me
That's the way its gonna be

Time For Moving On
Never going back where I came from
Because my life back there is gone
Going to leave the past behind
And I might find some peace of mind
It's time for moving on
Time for moving on
I've lived in the company of strangers
I've lived in the company of friends
These days I can't tell the difference
New beginnings old ends, new beginnings old ends
The place ain't the same as it was before
No welcome when I walk through the door
You could cut the tension with a knife
Got to make a better life
It's time for moving on
Time for moving on
I've lived in the company of strangers
I've lived in the company of friends
These days I can't tell the difference
New beginnings old ends, new beginnings old ends
When you are a stranger in a crowd
And all the smiles they turn to frowns
Familiar faces look through you
Then you know what you must do
It's time for moving on
Time for moving on
I've lived in the company of strangers
I've lived in the company of friends
These days I can't tell the difference
New beginnings old ends, new beginnings old ends

Fine Line
You think you're so cool but you're just a fool
Forcing yourself on another
You think you're so fine but you've got no style
No-one answers when you call them brother
You're an angry young man you won't work though you can
For your money you beg steal or borrow
You've got a knife in your hand respect no ones land
All you give out is heartbreak and sorrow
The anger's pent up inside you
You think the world owes you a living and life
But society will have to disown you
While you stride around just causing strife
And it's a fine line you're walking along
Just a tightrope above oblivion
There'll be no saving hands if you fall
For you have no adoring minion
You think you're so smart but your lonely heart
Is all riddled with hate like a cancer
Your hands only fight delivering your might
Never caressing or touching so tender
There's no-one you fear you just snarl and you sneer
You think you can walk on the water
You call it your pride but your just shallow inside
And yet you think you're so full of charisma
The anger's pent up inside you
You think the world owes you a living and life
But society will have to disown you
While you stride around just causing strife
And it's a fine line you're walking along
Just a tightrope above oblivion
There'll be no saving hands if you fall
For you have no adoring minion
You've got to change your ways or you're gonna die a lonely man
Because before too long somebody's gonna make a stand
With a faster hand or a bullet from a loaded gun
And you'll hit the ground your life ended before it's begun
The anger's pent up inside you
You think the world owes you a living and life
But society will have to disown you
While you stride around causing strife
And it's a fine line you're walking along
Just a tightrope above oblivion
There'll be no saving hands if you fall
For you have no adoring minion

Full Moon Rising
Fooling with the tarot on a wet and windy night
Hoping your luck's gonna last
Dancing with the devil through the darkness and the light
Something is calling you into your past
Messing with the magic of a man you'll never be
The spirit is making you high
You'll keep searching for the spell that'll set you free
Never find it till the day that you die
Full moon rising, you can't run away
Full moon rising, the evil is making you stay
Mysterious and ageless he conjours his way through time
Magician's magic is timeless puts illusions in your mind
Blurring fantasy and reality with every wave of his hand
Sending mystical sounds and visions all across this land
Full moon rising, you'll never run away
Full moon rising, will hold you till your dying day
Hiding in the land of a long forgotten king
Being hunted by an ancient crowd
They're killing for the king, you can hear bells ring
And now you're screaming out loud
Find yourself gazing to the stars on a dark windy night
All the people are calling your name
You try to escape but the light is too bright
As the fire frames your face with the flame
Full moon rising, you can't run away
Full moon rising, not till your dying day

Lovers In The Rain
They're so much in love, it makes you wonder why
They're as inseparable as the sun and the sky
If you take a walk around the town, you know what you'll find
They'll be standing at the bus stop with their lips and their fingers entwined
Because whatever the weather, they're always together
Lovers in the rain, they never feel the cold
Lovers in the rain, they never feel the cold
They're like loves young dream, in a fairytale
Any talk of separation and they go deathly pale
And each and every night, under moonlit skies
They'll be gazing at the stars shining in each others eyes
Then they dance in the moonlight until the dead of the night
Because lovers in the rain, they never feel the cold
Lovers in the rain, they never feel the cold
They're in a world of their own, oblivious to company
Wallowing in love and sentimentality
Don't try conversation, if you see them coming your way
With just the briefest of responses they've only one thing to say
That they'll be staying together, for ever and ever
Because lovers in the rain, they never feel the cold
Lovers in the rain, they never feel the cold
Because whatever the weather, they're always together
Lovers in the rain, they never feel the cold
Lovers in the rain, they never feel the cold
You know lovers in the rain just never feel the cold

Someone Stole The Moon Out Of The Sky
Someone stole the moon out of the sky, someone stole the moon out of the sky
Don't tell it to the stars, don't tell it to the stars, but someone stole the moon out of the sky
I know I've seen better days
The best of me is gone in oh so many ways
All I can give you is a little good company
There's a story I can tell won't you sit down beside me
When I was a child I fought in many a faraway land
With a trusty sword held tightly in my hand
I fought bravely and with righteousness always on the side of good
But I never hurt anyone my sword was made of wood
Then someone stole the moon out of the sky, someone stole the moon out of the sky
Don't tell it to the stars, don't tell it to the stars, but someone stole the moon out of the sky
Though I was not yet a man they sent me off to a foreign land
Took away my sword put a gun into my hand
They said fight bravely without fear you are on the side of good
As I stood on the battlefield I wished the weapons were made of wood
Somehow I found my way back home the only scars were in my mind
Now I had become a man a wife I had to find
I built a little house and Martha turned it into a home
We settled down in happiness never felt the need to roam
Then someone stole the moon out of the sky, someone stole the moon out of the sky
Don't tell it to the stars, don't tell it to the stars, but someone stole the moon out of the sky
A man knocked on my door put some papers in my hand
Said they needed to take my house needed to take my land
Wouldn't do any good to fight didn't matter that it wasn't for sale
When the boss man came to buy it was comply or go to jail
So I built another house with the money they did provide
Was all the same to me as long as I had Martha by my side
I worked hard all through the day laboured into the night
Many children they arrived the future was looking bright
Then someone stole the moon out of the sky, someone stole the moon out of the sky
Don't tell it to the stars, don't tell it to the stars, but someone stole the moon out of the sky
The doctor turned to me he said I have bad news to tell
Felt a teardrop in my eye when he said that she wouldn't get well
I took my Martha by the hand held her as she slipped away
We hadn't had time enough but I had cherished every day
Now that I'm an old man the children all gone and grown
I sit here almost every night sit here all alone
It's good of you to give me a little bit of company
But I am ready to go when the reaper comes for me
Because someone stole the moon out of the sky, someone stole the moon out of the sky
Don't tell it to the stars, don't tell it to the stars, but someone stole the moon out of the sky

Dancing To The Same Tune
You left me standing at the crossroads
Seems such a long time ago
Head was spinning like a fairground
Just didn't know which way to go
You could've knocked me with a feather
When I got your call the other day
Took all the clouds and stormy weather
And you chased them all away
Now we're dancing to the same tune
Feel like a man who's won a fortune
Dancing to the same tune
Let the song play on ...... just a little bit more
I've got to try and take things easy
But then again not move too slow
Because I know soon you'll have to leave me
But its with a smile I'll let you go
There'll be no recriminations
No tears no lies no hurt no pain
Just the joy and realisation
That soon we'll be as one again
Now we're dancing to the same tune
Feel like a man who's won a fortune
Dancing to the same tune
Let the song play on ...... just a little bit more

Call Me A Dreamer
Call me a dreamer and I won't really mind because I know baby your dream is just like mine
Tell me I'm crazy and I'll probably agree but I know you baby like you know me
So if a mountain can reach out into the clouds and a river can flow to the sea
If I love you and you love me tell me then why can't it be
Because you know me
I'm the one who went away though I wanted to stay
So I'm on my way home today
And I'll chase all your blues away
Call me a dreamer and I'll think that its fine because I dream of your kisses sweeter than wine
Tell me I'm crazy say go and find somebody new but I don't want another I'm waiting for you
So I sit here alone and my memories wander back to the days in the corn
When I watched the sunlight reflect off your shoulder and then I dream of a love that's reborn
Because you know me
I'm the one who went away though I wanted to stay
So I'm on my way home today
And I'll chase all your blues away
Call me a dreamer and I'll say that its true but I know my dreams weren't there for hurting you
Tell me I'm crazy and I'll have to agree but I dream your waiting still waiting for me
But my heart it was broken and now I'm dying inside without the love we once knew
So I sing you these words straight from my heart and I hope you believe they are true
Because you know me
I'm the one who went away though I wanted to stay
So I'm on my way home today
And I'll chase all your blues away
Now I know I'm a dreamer and you believe it too but you know my dreaming is only for you
I may well be crazy and you'll probably agree but I dream your dreaming is only for me
That's why I believe I'll be coming home back to you baby who I so want to see
Because I got a new dream I've been dying to tell you and I ain't gonna rest till I see you run to me
Because you know me
I'm the one who went away though I wanted to stay
So I'm on my way home today
And I'll chase all your blues away

Far Away Tomorrow
If you're walking down an empty highway
The soles are falling out of your shoes
And the view on your horizon
Say's you've nothing left to lose
You can't face another tomorrow
Can't even stand another today
The songs have been sung, time for moving on
There's nothing left for you to say
For you'll be far away tomorrow
By tomorrow you'll be far away
Got to find a new direction
Come what may
To this town you ain't returning
Everybody seems the same
The young and the old, the weak and the bold
Playing out their own little game
So you walk all through the night time
Rain is getting inside your shoes
Leave this place behind, and then you can find
Something to blow away your blues
Cos you'll be far away tomorrow
By tomorrow you'll be far away
Got to find a new connection
Come what may
So if your walking on an empty highway
And the rain's still getting into your shoes
All your songs have been sung, its time for moving on
Find a way to get away from your blues
Make sure you're far away tomorrow
By tomorrow be so far away
Got to find a new direction
Come what may

The Man With No Name
Send for me when your troubles have just begun
Send for me the man with the smoking gun
I'll be there before you can wave your hand
Shoot your troubles down and plant them in the land
I'm the man in black a stranger in your town
I'm the man in black no-one has ever seen me around
I'll be gone as soon as the deed is done
All I'll leave behind a single bullet from my gun
I ain't Billy the Kid I ain't Buffalo Bill
I ain't Jesse James but I'm paid to kill
When I gun you down won't hang my head in shame
I'm a stranger in town the man with no name
Look out for me it's on a steel grey horse I ride
Look out for me ain't no use to run and hide
I'll hunt you down like a demon in the night
You'll never see again the dawning of daylight
Beyond the law elusive I remain
Beyond the law so many men I've slain
I'll be around only briefly in your town
When I get the call and there's a thousand dollars down
I ain't Billy the Kid I ain't Buffalo Bill
I ain't Jesse James but I'm paid to kill
When I gun you down won't hang my head in shame
I'm a stranger in town the man with no name

Bad Choices
You'll find me walking these country roads
Just like yesteryear
Why I'm back here well I don't know
Been gone for many a year
It seems I got me a bad situation
Was always gonna lose
Nothing here but the breeze in the trees
And the lonely sound of my shoes
I made bad choices in the past
Why do good times never last
But all the pain and all the sorrow
Will still be there tomorrow
I kept on playing the same old cards
Though I had a losing hand
Whether aces high or aces low
Had none in my hand
It seems I'd got me no foundations
Like castles built of sand
The tides of life just wash them away
And leave an empty land
I made bad choices in the past
Why do good times never last
But all the pain and all the sorrow
Will still be there tomorrow
You'll find me singing the same old story
That'll always be the same
The people come and the people they go
But the song remains the same
It seems I got me a bad reputation
I'm always gonna lose
So I'll stay here with the breeze in the trees
And the lonely sound of my shoes
I made bad choices in the past
Why do good times never last
But all the pain and all the sorrow
Will still be there tomorrow

One Trick Pony
They said I could fly like an eagle
Or swim like a fish in the sea
I could flow like the water in a river
But that didn't matter to me
I'm only a one trick pony
All I can do is play
Play my guitar to make you happy
Write a new song everyday
I could have been an airline pilot
Taking you off into the sun
Could have been a soldier or sailor
Didn't want to fight with a gun
I'm only a one trick pony
All I can do is play
Play my guitar to make you happy
Write a new song everyday
I could have been some kind of spaceman
Launched in a rocket to the moon
Could have been an adventurous explorer
Didn't want to die too soon
I'm only a one trick pony
All I can do is play
Play my guitar to make you happy
Write a new song everyday
I could have been a surgeon or doctor
Mending all kinds of ills
Could have worked the counter at the drug store
Didn't want to hand out all the pills
I'm only a one trick pony
All I can do is play
Play my guitar to make you happy
Write a new song everyday
I guess I'll never fly now like an eagle
Never swim like a fish in the sea
But I'm as free as the river
The only thing that matters to me
I'm only a one trick pony
All I can do is play
Play my guitar to make you happy
Write a new song everyday

Where Angels Fear To Tread
I was born in the backstreets on an unforgiving mornin'
Baptized by the river in a rain and thunder storm
Mama turned to papa and said look what we have done
Don't look into his eyes he's an unholy one
The devil took me then, got inside my head
Sent me down this road where angels fear to tread
The path of righteousness is somewhere I'll never be around
Where angels fear to tread is where I'll be found
I've been living outside the law for so long now
Got to get to him someway somehow
I'm gonna knock him down, plant him in the land
Steal all his money burn his house to the ground
Got a gun full of lead hiding in my jacket
Roll of cash burning holes inside my pocket
Don't you get in my way if I come through your town
I won't hesitate I'm sure to shoot you down
I was born in the backstreets on an unforgiving mornin'
Baptized by the river in a rain and thunder storm
Mama turned to papa and said look what we have done
Don't look into his eyes he's an unholy one
The devil took me then, got inside my head
Sent me down this road where angels fear to tread
The path of righteousness is somewhere I'll never be around
Where angels fear to tread is where I'll be found
Finally tracked him down up by the railroad track
Now the time has come no time for turning back
I shot him there with a thirty eight, shot him through the head
Now I'm on the run again because that man is dead
Seems they got a posse, hundred men on my tail
They'll never track me down, won't put me in jail
There ain't a cell in hell that could fence me in
I'm so bad, I'm the undisputed king of sin
I was born in the backstreets on an unforgiving mornin'
Baptized by the river in a rain and thunder storm
Mama turned to papa and said look what we have done
Don't look into his eyes he's an unholy one
The devil took me then, got inside my head
Sent me down this road where angels fear to tread
The path of righteousness is somewhere I'll never be around
Where angels fear to tread is where I'll be found

Silver Screen Heartbreak Time
Up there on the silver screen,
She shines like the brightest star
In a land of make believe,
Nowhere you ask her is too far
But in this world of reality,
You know the story just ain't the same
Because to her you're not even a player,
In her lowdown dirty game
You know she drives you crazy, but your mind's a little hazy
You don't wanna see what you might find
Your angel's just a devil, that would surely blow your mind
Silver screen heartbreak time
On the talk show she sounds so sweet,
She got a heart that's made of gold
Go to a charity ball for the air sea rescue,
Save the children and house the old
But when the lights go down on the smiling faces,
Then there's a different tale to tell
People shouldn't put themselves in danger,
Young and old can go straight to hell
You know she drives you crazy, but your mind's a little hazy
You don't wanna see what you might find
Your angel's just a devil, that would surely blow your mind
Silver screen heartbreak time
Out on the stage its another ceremony,
She got a golden statue in her hand
Thanks the cast and an unknown writer,
Got the world at her command
But when the glitter fades and the night is over,
And the press have all gone away
She curses little people with small town minds,
Who haven't got a thing to say
You know she drives you crazy, but your mind's a little hazy
You don't wanna see what you might find
Your angel's just a devil, that would surely blow your mind
Silver screen heartbreak time

The Bop a Dop Song
I'm the mailman baby gonna post a letter in your box
I'm the mailman baby gonna post a letter in your box
Well it's early in the morning and I'm cunning as a fox
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a dop a ... bop a dop a dop
I'm a freight train baby coming on down your track
I'm a freight train baby coming on down your track
When I reach the station there'll be no turning back
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a dop a ... bop a dop a dop
I'm a catfish baby the biggest one in the lake
I'm a catfish baby the biggest one in the lake
Swimming around it's your bait I want to take
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a dop a ... bop a dop a dop
I'm a shooting star see me flying off through the sky
I'm a shooting star see me flying off through the sky
Come with me and I'll make you feel kind of high
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a dop a ... bop a dop a dop
I'm a midnight man gonna take you for a moonlight ride
I'm a midnight man gonna take you for a moonlight ride
Then take you home and make you feel good inside
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a wop a dop ... bop bop
Boo be dop a dop a ... bop a dop a dop
