I JUST KNOW THAT IT CAN HAPPEN Written by Loz Taylor and Richard Gibbons Verse: Let me tell you something baby It ain’t easy when the chips are down But that’s the price I have to pay my baby When the dreams that dance around my head Weigh heavy like some bloody, thorny crown Shoot me a smile now baby Coz it ain’t easy when I’m losing sleep And tell me that you love me baby Before the hopes that sit inside my heart Turn to the fears that heroes shouldn’t keep Chorus: I just know that it can happen I’ve played this part a thousand times But life don’t follow no set pattern Like there’s no reason to its rhymes Pull me closer now I see the road ahead Let’s go together before All is done and said I just know that it can happen No matter what the others say All that’s needed is a passion That will last forever And help us on our way Verse: Let me tell you something baby It ain’t easy holdin’ out for more But that’s a price worth payin’ baby If the dreams that dance around my head Stay close instead of headin’ out the door Blow me a kiss now baby Coz it ain’t easy seein’ you waitin’ by And hold my hand real tight now baby Before the hopes that sit inside my heart Fade slowly like a light in distant sky Chorus I just know that it can happen I’ve played this part a thousand times But life don’t follow no set pattern Like there’s no reason to its rhymes Pull me closer now I see the road ahead Lets go together before All is done and said I just know that it can happen No matter what the others say All that’s needed is a passion That will last forever And help us on our way Musical Bridge … Repeat Chorus …

The Storm 03:51
The Storm If I think now Am I really thinking Or is it just a programme in my mind When I remember Is it you I’m seeing I used to be so sure, sure of my mind I remember well how you could be so warm How you could always come back to yourself But now there only seems to be the calm before the storm Oh and of course…the storm itself What I suspect Is you’ve taken her somewhere Buried her somewhere I’ll never find Yet I still see her Somewhere in your shadow Deep within the shadows That play with my mind I remember well how you could be so warm How you could always come back to yourself But now there only seems to be the calm before the storm Oh and of course…the storm itself you’ve carried this torch from the cradle And I’ll carry its weight till I die I only wish I knew who it was for For you or for her that I cry I remember well how you could be so warm How you could always come back to yourself But now there only seems to be the calm before the storm Oh and of course…the storm itself

Lonely Man 03:26
Lonely Man Feet tappin’ on the morning train daydreamin’ daydreamin I see your smiling’ face again daydreamin’, I’m sweat dreamin’ And in my head the seats are free and the crowd is always on it’s feet for me, on it’s feet for me. Sittin’ at my desk today daydreamin’ daydreamin’ That you willl come and hear me play daydreamin’, I’m sweet dreamin’ I hope that what you’re doing’s fun cause we’ve been typing all the morning long all the morning long. I’m such a lonely man caught up in my web of dreams I only hope I can, sort it out before it seems I’ve left it all too late wouldn’t it be great to see the crowd come pourin’ in Wouldn’t it be great oh wouldn’t it be great to see the crowds come pourin’ in I’d throw away these chains and feel easy in my skin. And sittin’ in the bar tonight daydreamin’ daydreamin’ Wonderin’ where you are tonight daydreamin’ sad feelings Another band another man will be keeping your attention all night long All the night time long Standin’ on the empty stage daydreamin’ daydreamin’ It’s like starin’ at an empty page daydreamin’ times stealin’ Has my 15 minutes come and gone Did the clouds roll over my day in the sun, my day in the sun. I’m such a lonely man caught up in my web of dreams I only hope I can, sort it out before it seems I’ve left it all too late wouldn’t it be great to see the crowd come pourin’ in Wouldn’t it be great oh wouldn’t it be great to see you come walkin’ in I’d throw away these chains and feel easy in my skin.

The last Plane (A Journey) Once again today a Hercules will leave the desert sand And as it flies a giant shadow falls on England’s pleasant land Carrying the weight of the world On its aged and aching shoulders Once again its mighty metal wings Will home to its final resting place bring Another hero, who will grow No older Let this plane be the last to fly Let this mother be the last to fly Let this soldier be the last to fly Oh let this Plane be the last to fly Let this plane be the last to fly Far away today in shattered streets the innocents will grieve And prey the ones who brought them hope don’t turn the lights out when they leave So let the only trigger squeezed Be the trigger of your conscience eased Not by the tears of feigning sorrow Or by the counting of the cost But by an end to wars That can’t be won Only lost Let this plane be the last to fly Let this mother be the last to fly Let this soldier be the last to fly Oh let this Plane be the last to fly Let this plane be the last to fly Let this plane be the last to fly Let this plane be the last to fly Let this plane be the last to fly Let this plane be the last to fly

The Crime 04:29
The Crime Written by Richard Gibbons Breathing smoke telling jokes You drink to make the night slow Telling lies you’re breaking ties But you’ll never let the girl know You love her, yes you love her But there’s danger there this time You want her, yes you want her But to ask would be the crime Spinning lines, you talk in rhymes But you cant say what you want to You look and long but not too long Or you may see just what you’ve come to You know him, care for him Hell you’ve been close for years now He doesn’t love her you know he doesn’t love her And for you that’s the killing blow Spinning lines, you talk in rhymes But you cant say what you want to You look and long but not too long Or you may see just what you’ve come to Hating truth, yeah you’re losing youth You know the dangers if you ask her So you slowly put the bullets in It’s not the truth but its an answer Spinning lines, you talk in rhymes But you cant say what you want to You look and long but not too long Or you may see just what you’ve come to Hating truth, yeah you’re losing youth You know you have no answers this time So you slowly put, the bullets in………..

Sugar Sweetness I sit here locked in my office But with a window out on the crowd I know its not much of an office But it will have to do me for now She goes about town every day Dressed up just like a flower Her smile drives the rain clouds away And all the guys fall under her power Sugar sweetness My hearts weakness Sugar sweetness My incompleteness She skips along ever so lightly Her hair shines bright as the sun There’s no one coming to meet her And the clock says quarter to one I hurry down from my office At the same time every day To try to capture a flower That the wind has carried away Sugar sweetness My hearts weakness Sugar sweetness My incompleteness Sugar sweetness My hearts weakness Sugar sweetness My incompleteness I sit here locked in my office But with a window out on the crowd I know it’s not much of an office But it will have to do me for now. Sugar sweetness My hearts weakness Sugar sweetness My incompleteness Sugar sweetness My hearts weakness Sugar sweetness My incompleteness Sugar sweetness My hearts weakness Sugar sweetness My incompleteness

Every Single Word You left on Monday morning I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange Thought you’d choose a Friday babe Give me time to sit and wonder why Give me time to realize my crimes I heard a song on Tuesday evening’ I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange Listenin’ to a young girl singin’ “I’d rather feel the hurt than nothing’ at all” Hell don’t she know that’s what the drugs are for I figure she just ain’t been hurt before You said we’ve said it all You said it wasn’t me but you Every cliché you could think of But not a single word rang true I met a guy on Wednesday morning’ I couldn’t help but think him kinda strange Moanin’ bout his old girl’s talkin’ And how he loved to curse her now and then But couldn’t wait to have her back again You said we’ve said it all You said it wasn’t me but you Every cliché you could think of But not a single word rang true I saw a guy on Thursday evening’ I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange Staring at him in the mirror Even though his guilty look’s the same Ain’t it funny how a man can change You came back Friday morning’ I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange Why I just stood there cryin’ You never asked what I was cryin’ for You just turned around and closed the door And when you turned around and closed that door I knew I couldn’t love you any more You said we haven’t said it all You said it’s time for me and you Every cliché you could think of But when you told me that you’d thought it through And you told me that your love was true Then every single word rang true Every Single Word You left on Monday morning I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange Thought you’d choose a Friday babe Give me time to sit and wonder why Give me time to realize my crimes I heard a song on Tuesday evening’ I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange Listenin’ to a young girl singin’ “I’d rather feel the hurt than nothing’ at all” Hell don’t she know that’s what the drugs are for I figure she just ain’t been hurt before You said we’ve said it all You said it wasn’t me but you Every cliché you could think of But not a single word rang true I met a guy on Wednesday morning’ I couldn’t help but think him kinda strange Moanin’ bout his old girl’s talkin’ And how he loved to curse her now and then But couldn’t wait to have her back again You said we’ve said it all You said it wasn’t me but you Every cliché you could think of But not a single word rang true I saw a guy on Thursday evening’ I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange Staring at him in the mirror Even though his guilty look’s the same Ain’t it funny how a man can change You came back Friday morning’ I couldn’t help but think it kinda strange Why I just stood there cryin’ You never asked what I was cryin’ for You just turned around and closed the door And when you turned around and closed that door I knew I couldn’t love you any more You said we haven’t said it all You said it’s time for me and you Every cliché you could think of But when you told me that you’d thought it through And you told me that your love was true Then every single word rang true

Three Wishes 05:16
Three Wishes Thinking back to when they tried to take the life out of me. At barely 17 I thought that I was all I’d ever be, that I was all I’d ever be. The brightest lights don’t always have to shine upon the city streets. I hide a light inside my heart and you will see it when it beats, yes you will see it when it beats. I found no god up in the heaven or little Jesus in the lights. But I found Genies in the bottles that I drank from every night, that I drank from every night. And I would dream of how their magic would come and help me in my fight. And I would shout out my three wishes to the echoes of the night, to the echoes of the night. Three wishes a summertime that never leads to fall Three wishes no one to say that we can’t have it all Three wishes to never see my shadow on their walls Three wishes Three wishes Three wishes When I awoke I found my life had changed in so many ways. I found a strength in me that stayed with me all of my days, it would stay with me all my days. Now I don’t know just where it came from and I don’t try to understand But now my light is shining brightly and my future’s in my hands, yeah my future’s in my hands. Three wishes a summertime that never leads to fall Three wishes no one to say that we can’t have it all Three wishes to never see my shadow on their walls Three wishes Three wishes Three wishes I see a girl now she is dreaming and I see heaven in her face. And as the lights of Paris flicker I wonder how I found this place, I wonder how I found this place. Would I be even more alive if I knew how the dice would fall. And if you offered me three wishes, would I hold or risk them all, would I hold or risk them all?? Three wishes a summertime that never leads to fall Three wishes no one to say that we can’t have it all Three wishes to never see my shadow on their walls Three wishes Three wishes Three wishes Words and music by Loz Taylor and Richard Gibbons March 2010

Something Better Than this Verse 1 Sleeping under the bridge tonight my cardboard box has room service Sun is hot but colds the light that drags you from your dreams caress Got no job you’re money’s spent…better go and get one No address no six months rent, a kind word from no one Chorus I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something But anything has gotta be better than this Verse 2 You’re back walking the city streets rubbing the gold from the pavements Checkin’ out the gents you meet, you’re making strange arrangements When you left your family, did you hope to buy another But did the walls of the hostelry, hold a Father, or a Mother? Chorus I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something But anything has gotta be better than this. And if there’s something, keep it inside Try to take courage, from the light that you hide And if it should falter, fade and grow dim You must keep it burnin’ Or the knife will twist again. Verse 3 Sacrificial virgins wait on the alter of corruption Their minds all but replaced by hate Feels the knife that twists inside them Chorus I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something But anything has gotta be better than this anything has gotta be better than this I said anything has gotta be better than this

Angel Cards 05:13
ANGEL CARDS VERSE: I pray That you will lay Your angel cards In front of me And that they Will come to say You’ll stay by my side Another day Another day Another day VERSE: The night It is so long And your hand in mine It grows so cold I look Into your eyes And I see a love That was foretold That was foretold That was foretold CHORUS: Yes I’ll believe in fairytales In angel cards And flying whales If that my love Will keep me close to you-oo-oo Coz God help me I don’t know what to do-oo-oo I don’t know what to do. Verse: I stroke Your long, soft hair As the angel cards Slip to the floor I look At your still face And I feel a hurt Not known before Not known before Not known before CHORUS: Yes I’ll believe in fairytales In angel cards And flying whales If that my love Will keep me close to you-oo-oo Coz God help me I don’t know what to do-oo-oo I don’t know what to do. SOFT RAP: Teardrops falling Can’t you hear her calling Asking you to be so strong Daybreak dawning See a songbird soaring Nothing else can do her wrong Verse: A nurse Who’s waiting by Puts her hand on mine It feels so warm I look At her sad face And she sees my tears That are new born That are new born That are new born CHORUS: Yes I’ll believe in fairytales In angel cards And flying whales If that my love Will keep me close to you-oo-oo Coz God help me I don’t know what to do-oo-oo I don’t know what to do. SOFT RAP: Teardrops falling Can’t you hear her calling Asking you to be so strong Daybreak dawning See a songbird soaring Nothing else can do her wrong CHORUS: Yes I’ll believe in fairytales In angel cards And flying whales If that my love Will keep me close to you-oo-oo Coz God help me I don’t know what to do-oo-oo I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to do.
