| 1 - Sensitive Singer Songwriter
I got a story I want to tell and though I may not do it
well
I’m gonna do it anyway cuz I got a lot to say
I’m gonna sing about broken hearts, and how it hurts to be
apart
and what life really means I’m wearing a sweater and blue jeans
that couldn’t fit much tighter, hey I’m a sensitive singer
songwriter
well I got an acoustic guitar, and a lot of emotional scars
I’m ambiguous and oblique, so people think I’m deep
my inner self I want to show, I’ll tell you more than you
want to know
about my loneliness and pain and how my tears fall down like rain
on loves fire, hey I’m a sensitive singer songwriter
I don’t know why, I’m just that kinda guy, in the
next verse I might cry
if you don’t love me.
Well James Taylor got Carly Simon cuz he was really good at rhyming
and just look at Jackson Browne,with Daryl Hannah he
got down
and Paul Simon got Edie Brickell cuz he could tell a story well
and like Don Henley got Stevie Nicks, I just want to score with
chicks
no I’m not a liar, hey I’m a sensitive singer songwriter
I’m a cynical singer song writer

3 - A Good Day Now
Well it was long ago, it seems far away
wonder should I go, wonder should I stay?
remember when the sun always seemed to shine?
remember when love eased my worried mind?
now every things changed and I don’t know why
like is so strange say hello say goodbye
And I don’t know how but it sure is sad
how a good day now is when nothing goes bad
I’m worried about my wife I’m worried about my kids
I’m worried about my life and everything I did
is there a master plan that we’re not meant to see
can you feel the masters hand moving you moving me?
so if your up above tell me what to do show me how to love
how to make it through
And I don’t know how but it sure is sad
how a good day now is when nothing goes bad
Catch your dreams in a paper cup, it won’t be long before
you fill it up
go away and come back again gonna meet you honey at the rainbows
end.
Well it was long ago, it seems far away
wonder should I go, wonder should I stay?
remember when the sun always seemed to shine?
remember when love eased my worried mind?
And I don’t know how but it sure is sad
how a good day now is when nothing goes bad
4 - It’s People I Can’t Stand
Now I’m waiting in the waiting room, I’m watching
the clock go tick
when I ask if it’s my turn soon, they look at me like my first
name is dick
"hey my appointment was at 3 now it’s half past 4
honey take a good look at me do you think I can take much more?"
well I believe in peace and harmony and the brotherhood of man
you know I love humanity it’s people I can’t stand
Now I’m driving now the 101, you know I move along pretty
fast
I’m listening to Neil Young, and this guy won’t get
off my ass
well if I had me a Heat Seeker you know I’d let that rocket
fly
that’s what you get for not using your blinker, you know you
all deserve to die
well I believe in peace and harmony and the brotherhood of man
you know I love humanity it’s people I can’t stand
I try to be so mellow, try to be real nice, I want to be like Gandhi
I want to be like Christ
and everyday I try my best, when somebody gets in front of me with
25 items in the line
that clearly says 10 items or less 10 items or less 10 items or
less can’t you fuckin read?
I’d like to make you bleed hey 10 items or less
well I believe in peace and harmony and the brotherhood of man

It’s people who need people I can’t stand.
5 - Daddy Nicotine
He come up here from the south, lord have mercy better
shut your mouth
gonna make you shiver, gonna make you shake there ain’t no
bigger habit to brake
I’ve been all round the world don’t talk about the trouble
you seen
there ain’t nobody meaner than Daddy Nicotine
He grabs hold when you are young 13 years old the damage done
out on the street, you want some more get what you need at the
corner store
you can say what you want about brother H or sister morphine
there ain’t nobody meaner than Daddy Nicotine
Well there’s alcohol and reefer too, but they don’t
do what your daddy do
up or down he can do anything, there ain’t nobody meaner
than Daddy Nicotine
Yeah he can make you pitch a fit, he can brake you if you try to
quit
if you never met him you just don’t know how hard it is to
let him go
I said oh daddy, daddy, your the meanest daddy I ever seen
no there ain’t nobody meaner than Daddy Nicotine
6 - Carry Me
The shadows fall on the mountain
the clouds are floating in the sky
I’m looking out my window counting
all the years that flew right by
remember when the doors were open and nothing could stand in our
way?
remember is a dream your holding remember is a sunny day
I’m weighed down I can’t cross that ocean
I’m weighed down the other side I see
won’t you lift me up and carry me
time can be a heavy burden
is this the place that you should be
does anybody know for certain?
is life more than a memory?
hard to live up to the promise
of everything you should have done
feel the weight of time upon us
looking at the setting sun.
I’m weighed down I can’t cross that ocean
I’m weighed down the other side I see
won’t you lift me up and carry me
7 - Do What She Says
When I was young you were too, many years later I’m
still with you
some get silver some get gold some get stories that never should
be told
well I’ll tell you what I’ve learned now keep these
words in your head
boys if you want to stay married do what she says
men rule the world, women rule the men you may think different
it’s nice to pretend
you wear the pants, she wears a blouse but all round the
world who’s taking the garbage out ? and if you want to get
more than a good nights sleep in your bed
I’ll make it real simple do what she says
now you might be a corporate head, a movie star or a king but
if you don’t do what honey
says your life won’t mean a thing
now men have sports and men love toys, without women most men
are boys
and if you want your love to stay afloat keep your dingy docked
and don’t rock the boat
and if you have your own opinion I’d keep it to myself instead
if you want to stay married do what she says
8 - The Same Boat
Here we are out on the sea, just trying to find some company
and we know it’s getting late, we need the stars to navigate
and find our way back home
well you can sink or you can float, but we’re all in the
same boat
Just molecules in this universe, swirling round here on this earth
but I look on you with love, and feel the spirit from above
then I don’t feel so alone
so share your love like a winter coat, cuz we’re all in the
same boat
we circle round the sun just so many times,the next thing you
know well your out of time
and then you find the story ends that’s all she wrote, yeah
we’re all in the same boat
Here we are out on the sea, just trying to find some company
and we know it’s getting late, we need the stars to navigate
and find our way back home
well you can sink or you can float, but we’re all in the
same boat
9 - Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
I heard the news yesterday a friend of mine past away
though I didn’t know him that well he was in my band for a
spell
he played guitar really great, everything’s gonna be alright
He didn’t smoke didn’t drink he ate organic I think
now I’m wondering why in the world did he die?
he was only 48, everything’s gonna be alright
And I know in my mind one day they’ll come a time
when I won’t be here to play my new guitar
and it freaks me out who knows what it’s all about?
you know I ain’t found no answers here so far
I’m waiting to see the light, everything’s gonna be alright
What’s that bump on my neck? everything I suspect must be
a fatal disease
every cough every sneeze, hey I got to relax, everything’s gonna
be alright
now I’m living in fear why’d I smoke all those years?
but now the damage is done hey I enjoyed everyone
everything’s gonna be alright
And I know in my mind one day they’ll come a time
when I won’t be here to play my new guitar
and it freaks me out who knows what it’s all about?
you know I ain’t found no answers here so far
I’m waiting to see the light, everything’s gonna be alright
10- True Love Always Waits
Thought I’d wake up here this morning, but I guess
it’s time to go
a change will come without warning, what happens next you never
know
Say goodbye time to rest, all we know is if we did our best
in the sun in the shade, memories of the life you made
whoa remember me when summer comes around
whoa remember me when what is lost is found
whoa remember only time can separate
true love for a while
cuz true love always waits, true love always waits
don’t look too hard in the mirror, it ain’t the way
it used to be
is the future any clearer, is this all there is to see?
Say goodbye time to rest, all we know is if we did our best
in the sun in the shade, memories of the life you made
whoa remember me when summer comes around
whoa remember me when what is lost is found
whoa remember only time can separate
true love for a while
cuz true love always waits, true love always waits
11- Voodoo Love Triangle
Never thought that you’d get this lonely, now baby
dig the probability
of spending your whole life only knowing love as a mystery
gonna take a private detective to try to unravel every clue
to find the person you least suspected of your heartaches
turns out to be you
well all right, all right, all right, you got trouble well all
right, all right, all right, bring in the love double tonight, tonight, tonight, someone burst your bubble, all right, all
right, all right !
you got too many problems to untangle in your voodoo love
triangle now.
When you were younger it seemed so easy, you always managed to
get your way
put on a smile that said just please me, and everybody would kneel
and pray
but now your pants couldn’t get much tighter and every wrinkle’s
right were it belongs
and if you butt gets any wider I gonna have to put it in another
song
well all right, all right, all right, you got trouble well all
right, all right, all right, bring in the love double tonight, tonight, tonight, someone burst your bubble, all right, all
right, all right !
you got too many problems to untangle in your voodoo love
triangle now. yeah right now!
12- Hurricane
A storm blew in from the east last night, now I’m
waiting for the morning light
to shine through, to shine through
feel the moisture in an October sky it’s warm and wet like
the tears I cry
for you just for you
Now everybody knows sometimes the wind will blow
and the clouds may bring some rain
but every time you go baby don’t you know
feels like a hurricane
The full moon pulls and the evening tides, like your love pulls
at me inside
it’s blue, deep and blue
I’m like the moon I have no light of my own, I need your
light to keep from being alone
it’ s true, you know it’s true
Now everybody knows sometimes the wind will blow
and the clouds may bring some rain
but every time you go baby don’t you know
feels like a hurricane
13 - Never Know Why
Say goodbye you may never know why, never know why
all things come to an end
feel so high you may never know why, never know why
all things come to an end
The story is written long before it’s through, the dreams
your wishing I hope someday
come true.
you will cry, you may never know why, never know why
all things come to an end, someday I’ll see you again
all things come to an end
