APPLES 
All I ever write about is you
All I ever sing about is you
You seem to be my favourite muse
All I ever dream about is you
Youze is what Ize is going through
All my loves I seem to lose
And now my big red heart has lost a part
Of it’s big red shiny core
But maybe apples, will fill me apples
And make me apples once more
Darling I never meant to choose
Between love and filling big shoes
Now all’s I’ve got is, no shoes and no you
It seems that you were right
Seems I threw away my life
At least maybe now, I’ll have nothing to do
‘Cause my big red heart has lost a part
Of it’s big red shiny core
But maybe apples will fill me apples
And make me apples once more
I am going to take my head and open it Swiss army style
Look my brain right in the eyes and stare it down ‘till it
complies
Then I’ll show up stitched and mended
Story will be happy ended
And my big red heart won’t have lost a part
Of it’s big red shiny core
And all my apples will be your apples
And we’ll be apples, forevermore
BIRDY 
Oh little birdy,
fly me up to where you are
Let me roam with
you now
You know I’m
longing to be
Over and under
with you
Oh great sunrise
climbing stratus tops
Please may I join
you in your sunny spot
You know us
together, we could be
Sweet sky
November, ooooeee
All this racing’s
Got me hating my
time on the way
Leaves me jaded,
under-rated
It’s my
slow-soul-decay
Oh Grapefruit Moon
Man in the sky
Tell me your
secret: “What of that smile?”
Oh could you just
fill me in on how’s it you be
Shining through
the darkness constantly
All this racing’s
Got me hating my
time on the way
Leaves me jaded,
under-rated
It’s my
slow-soul-decay
Oh this burning,
mindless yearning,
This cooking in me
Tastes so tired,
so uninspired,
It’s ruining me!
No more I say!
No more I say!
No more I say!
All this racing’s
got me hating
My time on the way
No more madness
Be gone like a
fad,
Guess I’ll break
new ground today
Yeah I’m gonna be
breaking that new ground today.
BULLET WALTZ 
Baby’s buying bullets today
And I’m looking for the gun
Think it might be easier this way
Instead of draggin’ on
Baby’s buying bullets today
And I’m looking for the gun
Thought that we might find a way
I guess that I was wrong
And oh I
Told my
Story through the lane
That oh I don’t think we’ll change
So my baby’s buying bullets
Baby’s buying bullets
Baby’s buying bullets and I
I’m leaving hey
Baby’s going to pull it today
I can see it in her eyes
She’s tired of the bullshit and
She’s tired of the lies
Baby’s going to pull it today
Then she’s heading for the hills
There’s go to be an easier way
Than these bottles and these pills
And oh I
Rolled my
Last dollar way
And oh I don’t think I’ll change
So my baby’s buying bullets
I know she’s going to pull it
My baby’s buying bullets and I
I’m leaving hey
And oh I
Told my
Story through the lane
That oh I don’t think we’ll change
So my baby’s buying bullets
I know she’s going to pull it
Baby’s buying bullets and I
I’m leaving hey
Babies buying bullets and I
I’m leaving hey
Baby’s gone and done it today
The peace comes to her eyes
I thought that we might find a way
At least I know we tried
Baby’s gone and done it today
She packs up and she’s gone
I guess I somehow wanted it this way
Instead of dragging on
CARRIED AWAY 
Come now says the clock
The sail has found the wind
So I nod to my friends and we begin
Another evening show
Finds me and I know
All I need to do is just give in
And ooh I’m carried away
And ooh I’m carried away
What more could there be but people in a room
Singing unafraid the same tune?
So I close my tired eyes
And take in what I hear
And all those times of trying disappear
And ooh I’m carried away
And ooh I’m carried away
To you, I’m carried away
I’m carried away
And if this is all I’ve got
If this is my one shot
Will I choose to ripen, or will I rot?
And ooh I’m carried away
And ooh I’m carried away
To you, I’m carried away
I’m carried away
Come now says the clock
The sail has found its wind
So I nod to my friends and we begin
CASTLE 
Day to day basis
I don’t think about you
Where you fit in here I just don’t know
I was your boy and you built my castle
I scaled the walls and left you alone
You were my everything
You were my castle and my king
You built these walls around me
Now I’ve climbed up the sides,
I have taken my dive,
I have found my own stride,
Do you feel left behind?
I looked to your eyes
For all of my answers
Looked to you footsteps to figure out mine
But one day I noticed
Their crooked direction
You’d stumbled and fallen some times on your way
You were my everything
You were my castle and my king
You built these walls around me
Now I’ve climbed up the sides,
I have taken my dive,
I have found my own stride,
Do you feel left behind?
I sat in the main room
Playing songs I wrote
You came over near me
To listen more close
You took the moment
To notice me breathing
Hear me conceiving
Thoughts of my own
You were my everything
You were my castle and my king
You built these walls around me
Now I’ve climbed up the sides,
I have taken my dive,
I have found my own stride,
You are still on my mind
COTTAGE COUNTRY 
How now my love your cheek’s so pale?
How chance the roses there do fade so fast
I know a place
Where we can stay
A distant home where we might run to someday
Run away, so far away
Gone away to turn back the days
Gone away where no one can say, we’ve gone away
Come rain or shine
Or windy blow
We’ll be just fine there in our tree covered
knoll
Sunlight alarm
And twilight blanket
We’ll sound to sleep while we sink into it
Run away, so far away
Gone away, to turn back the days
And no one knows where we’re hiding away
Won’t find us, we’ve gone away
I’ll hold the door
You sit right down
We’ll drive away soon only silence will sound
ENDLESS DAY 
Someday someday, we’ll stay all day, away
We don’t need no time away no no
Our way our way, we’ll hold and play
And we just may stay there all day
We don’t need no time away no no
No time allowed
No time allowed
No time away, on our endless day
We don’t need no time away no no
In the same way, we two were made
Two spoons per set, joined when we met
FORECAST 
The forecast is calling for showers tonight,
A mix of explosions of fire and light,
No change for the weekend is likely in sight,
Unless all these rain clouds decide not to
fight.
A boy and his family all huddle around,
Sheltered by walls they built underground,
But smart bombs are smarter and soon find their
way,
A boy now must bury his family today.
And we all stand proud,
Yes we all stand proud,
People are falling all around,
And we all stand proud.
Remote controlled missiles take all guilt away,
Killing is easy if it just feels like play,
Thousands are murdered, lost faces lost names,
By people, using people, in video games.
And we all stand proud,
Yes we all stand proud,
People are falling all around,
And we all stand proud.
Will we all wake tomorrow and no one is left,
But statues of soldiers, fists clenched on their
chests,
Cast out in iron, for all to see,
That war was an answer, but did not set free.
Why don’t we stop?
Why don’t we hear?
The world’s calling out,
It’s trembling in fear.
No more should die,
And no more weep,
And no more should lead,
With fists and deceit.
So somebody shout
And somebody scream
And together we’ll shout
Together we’ll scream
And no one stand proud
Till all have backed down
Till all have said no
To glory and gold
Yes somebody shout
And somebody scream
Together we’ll shout
Together we’ll scream
FORGIVENESS 
You ask me to explain it
Well there’s everything and nothing to say
Some things they happen
And once they do they never go away
They tell you that this life is eye for eye
Well man you know I think that’s all a lie
Oh I will not stoke the fire of this fight, when I know it isn’t right
So I guess I’m going to have to try forgiveness
‘Cause man you know it’s all that I’ve got left
My boy did not deserve this, but neither do the rest
I guess I’m going to have to try forgiveness
You can call me a coward
Call me whatever you chose
Once you could have hurt me
But now, I’ve nothing left to lose
Go on and spite me ‘cause I will not curse his name
Tell me though I’m broken, I am to blame
Well go on, but I won’t participate, in spreading all this hate
So I guess I’m going to have to try forgiveness
‘Cause man you know it’s all that I’ve got left
My boy did not deserve this, but neither do the rest
I guess I’m going to have to try forgiveness
They shot at me for speaking out against this tired war
Said "How can you lose one life and not demand one more?"
Well what good will it do us in the end?
There’s nothing that should justify revenge
And I stand now here before you
Living out the hardest test
And still I swear the only answer is: …forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Oh you know we’ve got to try forgiveness
‘Cause man you know it’s all that we’ve got left
Our boys and girls are watching and they’ve put us to the test
Come let's show them forgiveness
Forgiveness
FRIEND OF A FRIEND 
Friend of a friend I knew you
Friend of a friend I saw you there
Friend of a friend you’re on my mind
Friend of a friend I care
Friend of a friend I’m sorry
Friend of a friend I’m not sure where
To start a brand new story

My body kept on walking
My thoughts remained with you
So I will think about you
And worry about you too
And try to understand it all
From your point of view
I will hold my hands out
Right behind this wall
You can climb on over
When you want to fall
Walking down the hallway
I heard about the news
My body kept on walking
My thoughts remained with you

Or ever know my name
But know that I am with you
I’m with you all the same
Walking down the hallway
I heard about the news
My body kept on walking
My thoughts remained with you

Friend of a friend I care
Friend I hope you find it
All that you deserve
Hoping that you find your peace
Your mother has found hers

disease?
Oh no no my friend, oh no no
Look at all the love we bring
Listen while the LOVERS of the world start to
sing!
HUM 
Day after day
The time ticks away
I search for the words
But my mind hesitates
I beg and I plead
For the lyrical lead
But it just won’t come
So I sit there and hum
Well damn my heart
Damn my soul
I don’t need them anymore
I’m getting old
Over and over
And over again
I corner myself alone with the pen
I stare at the page
And dream of the days
When I could write
What I wanted to say
So damn my heart my heart
Damn my soul
I don’t need them anymore
I’m getting old
Take me back to the original source
Where the notes could ring flat
And the voice could go hoarse
And none of this business of business existed
And the song was the way to get my soul lifted
(my mind sifted)
Day after day
The time ticks away
I search for the words
But my mind hesitates
I beg and I plead
For the lyrical lead
But it just won’t come
So I sit there and hum
HURRY 
Would you leave us all behind?
Would you cede your place in line?
Would you take it all away and leave us here no words to
say?
Will I see you time again?
To be near you oh my friend
Can I hold you in my hand and pocket you ‘till you can
stand?
I will take you on me, I’ll shoulder everything
Tell me what’s your hurry to dine with those kings?
Won’t you hear me as I sing?
Could it winter you to spring?
Oh just lay your head down and sleep ‘till all is well and
sound
I will take you on me, I’ll shoulder everything
Tell me what’s your hurry to dine with those kings?
‘Cause it’s not your time, it wasn’t mine
I’m begging you, get back in line
We’re pacing here, all waiting for
The news that you’ll be gone no more
So go to sleep and soon you’ll see,
All will be like it should be
I promise you, I promise you, I promise you
I will take you on me, I’ll shoulder everything
Tell me what’s your hurry, to dine with those kings?
Everyone is waiting, waiting on the ground
Come on Cory turn, turn yourself around
I DO (EMILY & ERIC'S SONG)
Hey now why don’t we lose this party
You’re all that I’m looking for
Somehow in these few hours I’ve found
A world of so much more
I know it’s a long shot --well that’s just my thing
Well maybe these miles of land divide us
And maybe it’s not ideal
But maybe that’s just the thing to bind us
And find a way to reveal
An old-fashioned love of words and promises
For all times apart
And for our longing hearts
For those little things we held onto, I do
I’ll give you this empty box and promise
I will fill it for you
With every day not took for granted
Yeah every one renewed
…and maybe this small thing I’ve been saving too
And for each spoiled surprise
I can never hide
For all of the good I see in you, I do
And for all of our willingness to lose, I do
And oh despite myself
I get caught up in
Day to days of life
Only to find that
I’ve not said goodnight
To the most precious and most right
The most precious part of my life
Lying by my side
And oh for that first day
When we parted ways
Only to be joined now for always, I do
I do
IT'S ONLY WOOD 
Rolled over in bed
And I rolled away
No body to stop from rolling
So I rolled away
I should have told you
Right with my hello
I should have told you
But love I didn’t know
Came home to silence…
Tip toed for no one
Yeah nobody’s sleeping
I should’ve warned you
Right with my hello
I should have warned you
But love I didn’t know
And I went to our restaurant
So seemingly stable
Asked kindly if they could
Set fire to our table
Just burn it it’s only wood
But you know it isn’t
I wish I got it right
But you know I didn’t
They couldn’t do it
They could not part with it
It had my heart in it
They couldn’t do it
Just like I can’t
Who am I supposed to sing about now?
Who am I supposed to write about now?
I know I should have told you
I know I should have warned you
I know I should have told you
But love, I didn’t want to know
LAZY SUNDAY
MORNING ROOM 
I wake up with a little light on my face
I look on over as you lie in your place
The air is cool and we don’t say a word
Only bumblebees and wind in the trees can heard
In our lazy Sunday Morning Room
This hazy lazy room just for two
Don’t wait cuz we won’t be coming soon
You can call us lazy, maybe even crazy but we’re
staying till Monday too
We stare at all the different holes in the wall
Fall asleep in little knots and a ball
Throw the clock to the side of the room
Dine in bed while we model our fruit of the
looms, those fruit of the looms
In our lazy Sunday Morning Room
This hazy lazy room just for two
Don’t wait us cuz we won’t be coming soon
You can call us lazy, maybe even crazy but we’re
staying till Monday too
But then the moon begins to glow
It’s fairy time but even so
The game has just begun
We’re playing one on one
I tag you and then you
You chase me round the room
Oh, lazy Sunday Sunday morning room
That lazy hazy crazy afternoon and evening
All day long we be swinging in that lazy Sunday
room
Oh, Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday Saturday and Sunday morning room
January February March April May
Oh my love you know I’ll be singing in my
Lazy Sunday morning room.
LOVELIEST OF ALL 
Come and touch me wildly won’t you
Take my hand and guide it through you
Let me please inside you now
Body be my blanket feather down and
I will surely thank it how and how and
Please just take me somewhere
Not here Not here
I need it now, I don’t care how
Someone make me please, loveliest of all
Let’s sway not stop, we’ll sleep it off
Then we’ll both be the loveliest of all
Night’s are getting longer sleep is slow and
Burning’s getting stronger fire hose is
Dripping dry I’m losing ....hold
All I am is shallow sea is gone and
I am just a narrow puddle looking at
Those juicy rain clouds that won’t rain on
me
I need it now, I don’t care how
Someone make me please, loveliest of all
Let’s sway not stop, we’ll sleep it off
Then we’ll both be the loveliest of
all
And come tomorrow
We won’t care
Cause someone will be there
Mission complete
I finally got some sleep
Cause someone made me
Loveliest of all
I need it now, I don’t care how
Someone make me please loveliest of all
Let’s sway not stop, we’ll sleep it off
Then we’ll both be the loveliest of
all
Hey come on in,
The madness will begin
Then we’ll both be the loveliest of all
