Another Day

Got a feeling I ain’t seeing
things like they really are
Gotta wonder if it matters,
somehow I made it this far
So far so good, somehow someway
Just one burning question
can I have another day?
Got a feeling I might be seeing
things like I want them to be
Gotta wonder if that’s a problem
As long as we both agree
So far so good, somehow someway
OK, if you insist,
Sure, I’ll take another day.
Break
Gotta feeling we’re just make believing
Everything’s alright
Gotta wonder if there’s any better
Way to make it through a long night
So far so good, somehow some way
I hope you don’t mind if I
Help myself to another day

Go ahead talk with those fellas
Smiling so sweet
Go ahead hang out with your girlfriends
Drinking that Gran Cuvee
But remember when this party’s over
You’re going home with me.
Go ahead have another
Have another two or three
Go ahead do that little dance you do
When you’re feeling so free
But remember that when we get home
There’s going to be something I need.
Cuz I got a weakness – can’t be ignored
I got a weakness – don't it show
I got a weakness – for being adored
Go ahead work that cell phone
From A to Z
Go ahead sit all day
in front of the EmptyV
But remember when I get home
There’s gonna be something I need
I need my loving, kissing hugging
and cuddling too
In the morning, evening, midnight
And the afternoon.
Just one important detail
Its all gotta come from you.
Cuz I got a weakness – can’t be ignored
I got a weakness – don't is who
I got a weakness – for being adored
by you
by you
adored by you

You say she treated you cruel, she treated you mean
Didn’t call you back for more than a week
To say its over, we’re through
You asked her why, she couldn’t clearly explain
Said she woke up one morning with a smile on her face
Just thinking, of a life without you
Somewhere… a line got crossed
Somehow …her little i found its dot
Somewhy…its still not clear
Didn't you have your fun, just take the memories and run
You say she treated you wrong, she played with your mind
Ignored your texts for days at a time
And then said its over, we’re through.
You asked her why, she couldn’t clearly explain
Said she woke up one morning with a smile on her face
Just thinking, of a life without you
Somewhere… the rhyme got lost
Somehow …your little X found its cross
Somewhy…may never be clear
Didn't you have your fun, just take the memories and run
Now it's the hope that hurts
Now it’s just the hope that hurts
What part of this message, brother, isn’t clear?
Didn't you have your fun, just take the memories and run
Don't forget you had your fun
Just take the memories and run

This Day

Do we dance
Do we play
Do we kiss away the day
Do we sing
Do we say
There will never be another day
Like this one
This one
Like this one
This one
Do we laugh
Do we laze
Do we dream away the day
Do we sing
Do we say
There could never be another day
Like this one
This one
Like this one
This one
Break
Do we swing
do we sway
do we cast our cares away
do we sing do we say
no need for another day
unless it’s this one
This one
Unless it’s this one
This one

Since You've Been Gone
03:38
|
|||
|
Since you’ve been gone I went back to my evil ways
Since you’ve been gone I went back to my evil ways
Drinking milk straight out of the carton
Not doing the dishes for two or three days
I said I was sorry I said it would never happen again
I said I was sorry promised it would never happen again
But that girl was so so lovely
Honey please try and understand
Break
Since you’ve been gone I'm thinking bout you all the time
Since you been gone I’m sad and blue every night
I wander from room to empty room
Stumbling over dirty clothes and empty bottles of wine
Baby please come back home.
Baby Baby please come back home
Baby baby please please please won’t you come back home

Ofuro (Bathtub) Happies
03:12
|

I’m sitting in the tub getting nice and warm
Before I go out into the cold cold morn
I should be getting out anytime now
But it’s just too hard to resist
sitting here singing silly songs like this.
I’m sitting in the tub listening to the birds
Now they’re getting on with their busy busy days
I should be out there too. Got so many things to do
I just wouldn’t want to miss
sitting here wasting way the day like this
So, first I heat it up
then it cools down
so I heat it up again
and the damn whole thing goes round and round and
round and round –and round and round and round
I should be getting out soon
But I’ve been captured by this tune
And I’ve found no better way
To pass the time away
Than sitting in the tub.
Break
I’m sitting in the tub the sun is going down
Crickets’r starting in on their crazy crazy songs
I should be getting out any day now
But its just too hard to resist when I know
it just don’t get any better than this
So, first I heat it up
then it cools down
so I heat it up again
and the damn whole thing goes round and round and
round and round –and round and round and round
I should be getting out soon
But I’ve been captured by this tune
And its just so hard to resist
when I know it just don’t get better than sitting here
singing silly songs like this in the tub, in the tub, in the tub.

Such Loveliness

Such Loveliness
Such Loveliness
Such Loveliness
I've never seen
When I met you I knew
You were unlike any other
That smile that sweet sweet smile
Set my heart all aflutter
Twas then and there I knew
We'd soon be lovers
But what I didn't know
Was that
Such Loveliness
Such Loveliness
Didn't know that Such Loveliness
Could bring such misery
Break
Now we're married, but not to each other
and I spend the whole damn day by the phone
Waiting for it to ring blink or shutter
My friends all laugh and say.
He should know better
But how was I to know
That Such Loveliness
Such Loveliness
Didn't know that such Loveliness
Could bring this delightful misery

Bad Girl
03:44

You were a bad bad bad girl to put my schoolboy heart to this test
a bad bad girl tossing turning I can't take my rest
You were a bad bad girl with my friend the other night
Such a bad bad girl to look at me and say that's nothing to hide
Chorus
But I want to thank you thank you very much
I want to thank thank thank you and spank you very much
Cuz a heart that can't be broken that heart can't be touched
You were a bad bad girl now you say you need some time to decide
Like a bad bad girl whether its going to be him me or some other guy
A bad bad girl aint it time you realized that such a bad bad girl
would be better off telling more sweet sweet lies
Chorus

Still Dancing
04:23
|

|
How can I let go,
when it feels this good to hold on tight
How can you just go,
with all that yearning in your eyes
How can we ignore
the fire that's burning between us tonight
Let's fan the embers aglow,
invite the ancients to witness our rites
Chorus
I close my eyes
and were still dancing in that winter morning's light
The sun's gentle rays fall all around us
Moving in time
How can we not soar
with the wind all around us tempting us to fly
Breath in and let go,
invite the angels to join our flight.
Chorus
Gone on the morning's breeze, you left the door wide open
Now there's nothing to do
but step on through to see what the world may hold
for a heart renewed.
I close my eyes and were still dancing
we're still dancing

Tu cariño no apreciaba lo suficiente
No imaginaba que te extrañaría tan fuerte
Tu belleza todavía me cautiva
Nunca pensé que hasta esto llegaría
Allí deje la buena vida
Allí deje a la que me quería
Para venir a esta tierra fría
Y vivir solo y triste
Tu recuerdo me persigue en mis sueños
No imaginaba que la llevaría tan lejos
Yo sé que aun me estas esperando
Pero aquí, aquí, aquí seguiré
Allí deje la buena vida
Allí deje a la que me quería
Para venir a esta tierra fría
Y vivir solo y triste
No me pidas que regrese
Toda cambia con el tiempo
Cada flor tiene su día
y se marchita después
(Instrumental Break)
Pues sí, todavía te extraño
Por inquietud me fui de tu lado
Pensando en “los cientos volando”
Quizás algún día yo cambiare
Allí deje la buena vida
Allí deje a la que me quería
Para venir a esta tierra fría
Y vivir solo y triste
No me pidas que regrese
Toda cambia con el tiempo
Cada flor tiene su día
y se marchita después
English Translation
Every Flower
I didn't appreciate your love enough
I never imagined I would miss you this much
Your beauty still captivates me
I never thought I would come to this
It was there I left the "good life"
It was there I left the woman who loved me
To come to this cold land
and live sad and alone
Your memory follows me into my dreams
I never thought I would think about you for so long
I know you are still waiting for me
But it is here I will stay
Don't ask me to return
Everything changes with time
Every flower has its day
and then it wilts and fades away
So, yes. I still miss you
Because of restlessness I left you
Imaginging the many other women out there
Maybe one day I’ll change
It was there I left the "good life"
It was there I left the woman who loved me
To come to this cold land
and live sad and alone
Don't ask me to return
Everything changes with time
Every flower has its day
and then it wilts and fades away
