Waiting For The Sun
03:34
|
|||
when the day breaks I'll be gone
back to the sun where I belong
i can almost hear the waves
you can run back to the shade
i'm waiting for the sun
i was stranded in the rain
there was nothing left to say
now its time for you to shine
come around again make me alive
you can shine all the time
you can call and i won't cry

The Only Way Is Up
02:20
|
|||
am i old enough
am i young enough
am i cool enough
am i hot enough
am i rich enough
am i poor enough
am i loose enough
am i tight enough
the only way is up
the only way is up from here
when you've had enough
the only way is up from here
am i fast enough
am i slow enough
am i smooth enough
am i rough enough
am i big enough
am i small enough
am i low enough
am i high enough
chorus
i dont know what you need
but i can help you to see

Shine A Light
01:53
|
|||
stop what you're doing
don't leave me here alone
in my darkest hour
I've got no place to go
you know that I can't help myself
what I said don't mean a thing
i lost head in the middle of the night
let's see what the morning brings
shine a light
stop what you're doing
you can't be no-one else
in the midnight hour
there's truth to tell

Bang Bang

|
|||
bang bang
i got you
underneath my skin
bang bang
you're playing dead
but i can see you breathing
bang bang
you can't hide
i'm coming for you
bang bang
lay down your arms
surrender to me
bang bang you got to let me know
bang bang you got to let it show
bang bang
don't let me down
you're falling at my feet
bang bang
lay down your arms
surrender to me

Secrets and Lies
02:07
|
|||
i know i look vaguely familiar
like you've seen me somewhere before
don't know i've that effect on people
they tell me everywhere I go
i've lost the line between right and wrong
and who is on my side
she said don't be careless with your
secrets and lies
she said what makes you think you have to conceal it
and pretend you dont think im hot
i said you might find it objectionable
she said then again I might not
i said don't you think its time we're introduced
she said i'll tell you all you want to know
but i never make love on an empty stomach
and i never sleep on my own

Say What You Mean
03:05
|
|||
If you want to stay
then stay forever or just
Go
If you want to leave
Then do it now and don't be
Slow
Why's it so hard
To speak your mind
Say what you mean
If you want to change
Then change for the better or
go
Why do you lie
instead of letting your feelings
Show

Whose Side Are You On
02:38
|
|||
im a little up when im down
im a little sad when you're around
im a little up when im down
im a little sad when youre around
hey whose side are you on
shes a little up in the clouds
got to keep her feet on the ground
shes a little up in the clouds
got to keep her feet on the ground
im a little up when im down
im a little sad you're not around
im a little up when im down
im a little sad youre not around

Starting Again
01:44
|
|||
it doesnt matter what youve done
time has healed and i've moved on
in your face i slammed the door
you don't live here any more
i'm starting again
you couldn't help yourself but lie
you couldn't look me in the eye
just wanted to hold on somehow
but you are like a stranger now
i'm starting again
time has run out
and you dont understand
did i ever know you?
i guess it doesnt matter any more

Paraphernalia
02:51
|
|||
i've bitten my nails down to the quick
and I feel lost
the doctor gave me something
to take the edge off
but it's not me
i got to break it down into
little pieces
the paraphernalia of my mind
has no secrets
but it's not me
it's paraphernalia
I dream away the day looking
out my window
The junk in my yard
casts no shadow
but it's not me
|
||||
10. |
||||
I swim inside your clear blue eyes
Salt and sand reflecting from the sky
On our backs we watch the sun get high
making out in the cool of the shade
i lose myself in the freckles of your face
the waves roll in to wash our dreams away
watching people come and go
conversations drifting slow
stay inside the moment now
wake me up to watch the sun go down
I swim inside your clear blue eyes
Silver rain is falling from the sky
On our backs we watch the moon get high

Falling Into You
02:27
|
|||
this is getting dangerous
don't want to get too close and
i can feel electricity when i'm beside you
i don't know how much longer
i can control my feelings
i try to keep it inside
but i'm falling into you
so this is what it feels like when you play with fire
i am drawn to you
i can't stop thinking about you
do you feel it too?
i am not imaging it

I Don't Think So
02:22
|
|||
I don't know who you think you are
This time you've gone too far
You tell me that the race is run
Its over and you've won
I don't think so
No no
You say you won't compromise
It makes you look weak in your eyes
I don't know what you think you've done
You say you're the only one
I don't think so
No no
In your bubble you're the king
But step outside and you're not worth what you think
I don't know who you think you are
Clear that you're a fading star
I can't stop your ritual
You think you play by your own rules

It Goes Like This
03:32
|
|||
hey baby wont you give us a kiss
i wrote you a song and it goes like this
You know I love you give me one more chance
Try saving our romance
Oh oh
oh oh oh oh
a fool in love and now i stand accused
make me an offer that I can't refuse
I'm just a victim of circumstance but
you make me wanna be a better man
hey baby wont you give us a kiss
i wrote you a song and it goes like this
You know I love you give me one more chance
Try saving our romance

Circle of the Sun
02:59
|

voices call out to the end of the world
sending love to the universe
circle of the sun
peace to everyone
manifesting the light of truth
in the shadow of the moon

Shake Some Action! Seattle, Washington
“Shake Some Action! make sun-kissed Rickenbacker-rock that continues the tradition of the great power pop forbearers like the Kinks and Big Star, along with the jangle pop pioneers of the ‘80s like R.E.M. and the Feelies. Their sound takes their influences’ jangly past and brings it into a caffeinated now, with high energy records and performances.” Jingle Punks Magazine ... more
