Rainbow Song 03:28
Verse 1 I’m kicking off my shackles On this sunny afternoon Humming lullaby’s I got no time for the blues Do do do do Do do do do Verse 2 I’m standing there naked On a yellow bed of flowers And if you’re listening God I’d marry you right now Do do do do Do do do do Chorus Oh a rainbow burst in my heart Shiny and sparkling Oh a rainbow burst in my heart I wanna share it with you Do do do do You, I wanna share it with you Verse 3 Cranky crows and miner birds Zooming at my head No point getting bothered I’ll just poke my tongue instead Do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do Chorus Verse 4 Crunching leaves beneath my feet My senses are alive Steal an apple from the tree And take a messy bite Do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do Chorus to fade

Green 03:18
Verse 1 You’ve got a million dollar smile And you bat those bedroom eyes But I make killer pancakes That’s why the boy is mine He’s mine, mine, he’s mine Verse 2 And your songs are sweet and sexy And mine, they’re so naive But you’ve been rootin’ round And I’m still pretty clean He’s mine, Mine, he’s mine, Ooh Chorus Green, Is the colour of my envy Green, Is the colour of this song Green, Is the colour of my envy Verse 3 Well you’re a mediocre line In a goddam country song And I deserve a handshake Putting up with you so long He’s mine, mine, he’s mine Ooh Chorus Green, Is the colour of my envy Green, Is the colour of this song Green, Is the colour of my envy M8 Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do Chorus Green, Is the colour of my envy Green, Is the colour of this song Green, Is the colour of my envy Verse 4 You’ve got a million dollar smile And straw behind those eyes He likes my killer pancakes That’s why the boy is mine He’s mine, mine, he’s mine, ooh Chorus to fade

I spied the watchmaker They say he’s a friend of God I stood outside his window And saw the face of Love He scratched his orange beard I said, heal my soul old man He smiled Oh my girl But you’re already there Chorus Lend my ears and understand he said Take my eyes and see You have the wild woman in you And you’re free Life death life Life death life I spied the watchmaker Now he’s a friend to me We stay up talk of myths Of skeletons in the sea I get lost in the fire As he drinks his ginger beer And slowly all my madness Gently disappears Chorus I cried, dear watchmaker Please stop this ticking sound He laughed I’ll stop time But the world will tumble round Chorus Lend my ears and understand he said Take my eyes and see You have the wild woman in you And you’re free Life death life Life death life Life death life Life death life

I wished him gone And so he left If only all my wishes Came so easily While we’re stuck here on this earth You said I’d better smile It’ll make things so much easier Go on go to hell I don’t want easier Verse 2 Demanded peace It would not come And all the smiles I smiled Had only made her run She says I’m faithless as a cat Ah but who needs faith when I got all my youth to spend Go on go to hell Chorus I got 8 lives left to lose I’ll crash and burn Do what I want The world is mine to choose Oh 8 lives left to lose I’ll sing or die Be damned tomorrow Just let me loose They marked me mad and so I am My conscience sings a song That they will never hear And while we’re waiting on this earth You said c’mon be a pretty girl It’s easier Go on go to hell Chorus M8 You can’t change me Though you try You can’t change me Chorus The clouds descend And I shall rise Beware I’ll break the silence of the night

58 02:49
She’s got her coffee and her magazine Her whole worlds crumbling And she’s going nowhere The sun’s too sweet and the cold is mean Her heart stopped thumping But the world kept turning…she says 58, I’m finally awake I’ve cut my hair I’m ready to play 58, I’m finally awake It’s not too late for me You shave your legs like the good girls do You’re only a woman if you’re smooth and sexy Well you’ve got lines from here to kalamazoo And if you tell the truth, you wanna be just like me 58, I’m finally awake I’ve cut my hair I’m ready to play 58 I’m finally awake It’s not too late for me Solo Do do do do do Do do do the fire’s still burning Do do do do do Do do do the worlds still turning 58, I’m finally awake oooh 58, I’m ready to play It’s not too late…. Chorus x 2

Verse 1 I’ve been a rebel, a liar The dirty old woman on the corner Selling poems for a dollar on the street Too young for lawn bowls Too old for ecstasy A little to late to make an honest woman out of me Chorus Oh Oh Don’t Forget Me On my Birthday Verse 2 I’ve been the devil, pariah I’ve walked this road a thousand times In my tired old tennis shoes Too young for stone cold Too old to be redeemed I won’t go asking for too much A blanket and a cup of tea Chorus Oh Oh don’t forget me On my birthday Oh oh don’t forget me On my birthday M8 No plans Following these filthy feet Wondering these empty streets Do do do do do No plans Following these filthy feet Wondering these empty streets Do do do do do Verse 3 So boil the kettle, set the fire Warm my hands as the night grows old With a bottle and an easy heart To young to feel old Too old and out of steam A little too late for birthday cakes The candle’s blown for me Chorus to end

I’m the only one Who can see through this frown I’ll make a promise now I won’t blame you when I’m down Insecurity saddles up to fear Takes me by the hand And makes me say Some awful things Lord knows how I put up with you Lord Knows when I will wake to find you gone When I will wake to find you gone I spend my life in daydreams Of how and what shall be But time still goes on ticking And you watch impatiently Don’t believe your mind You tell me as I fall I try to fight those demons I keep coming when they call Lord knows how I put up with you Lord Knows when I will wake to find you gone When I will wake to find you gone And when it’s good it’s so fantastic I wrap around the sunshine and the warmth) And when it’s bad it’s so so tragic I feel like drowning in the belly of the storm Lord knows how I put up with you Lord Knows when I will wake to find you gone When I will wake to find you gone

You’re fading faster than the speed of sound And I can hear you call my name as you go down I can’t do much about the pain you bear Or lift your from your desperate island of despair But I love you Oh I love Wear these words like your cross So you remember where you came from You were loved You were loved Do you remember how I fed you bread and wine or wiped the worry from your brow, it was Christmas time You made a toast to life, I toasted irony We laughed until we cried, until we couldn’t see and I loved you Oh I loved you Wear these words like your cross So you remember where you came from You were loved You were loved I held you hands but couldn’t bare to say so long’ I closed my eyes you drifted off the chance was gone My soul is ringing like an ancient bell I can’t believe how you passed on, I’m still in hell And I love you Oh I love you Wear these words like your cross So you remember where you came from You were loved You were loved You were loved You were loved
