Coming Out of Darkness
03:14

Chorus
Coming outta
Coming outta Darkness
Coming outta
Urban streets so grey
Coming outta
Coming outta darkness
Finding peace in something new today
Through the shading
Moving through the colours
Ideas fly like wings round the room
Happy to be part of something
Painting through the pain and fear
Chorus
Coming from many different places
Finding talents hidden in the dark
In a room filled with searching faces
Working hard to make our own mark
Chorus

If i could build a new world
I'd wave a new flag
No one would go hungry
No one would beg
We could eat rice pudding
And cake and ice cream
For the birth of my new world
A new social scene
If I could build a new world
Love would be a real thing
No one would be lonely
Our hearts would sing
We'd dance to the Beatles
And all hold hands
For we would love, love, love
With help from our friends
If I could build a new world
I wouldn't need a talk show
Cause we'd be talking
On the streets instead
And we'd be listening
Not scrambling our heads
No need to text, text, text
To see what's next, next, next
If I could build a new world
We'd smile a lot more
Gonna smile at my neighbour
Like it's not a chore
Gonna breathe with ease
Gonna feel the peace
Gonna move slow, slow, slow
Embrace my soul...

I like the sun, I like to feel the rays
I like the light upon my face
I like to curl my toes in the sand
I don't want summer to end
I like to run, I like picnics in the park
I like to ride my bike along the boardwalk
I like the nights going on and on
I don't want summer to end
Chorus
Summer soothes my soul
Makes me wanna rock and roll
From my head to my toes
I can just let go
I like the heat, it tastes so sweet
I like ice cream anywhere on the street
I like the warm wind caressing my soul
I don't want summer to end
Chorus
I like warm rain, trickling down my cheeks
I like the beat of the music in the streets
I like to feel the tapping of my feet
I don't want summer to end...
Summer soothes my soul
I don't want summer to end
Makes me want to rock and roll
I don't want summer to end
From my head to my toes
I don't want summer to
I can just let gooo

Hold on to the Good
02:31
|
|||
When the world tears you apart
Hold on to the good
A good conversation
Sharing a song
The love in your life
That has come and gone
Hold on to the good
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
No sun in the sky
Hold on to the good
A good cup of coffee
Shared with a friend
A flash of colour
In a day that won't end
Chorus
Hold on to the good
Hold on to the good
Hold on to the good
Hold on to the good
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
If things are not going your way
Hold on to the good
A good restful sleep
Some good food to eat
Kind words from a friend
Bring you peace in the end
Hold on to the good
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
The bus never comes on time
Hold on to the good
Hum a good tune
As you wait in line
Take a deep breath
Expand...hold on, hold on
Your mind...hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Chorus
Hold on, hold on, hold on...

Every Shade of Blue
02:39
|
|||
I've been blue about my money
And I got no honey
I've been down so many times
it ain't funny
I've been blue about my work
And I need self worth
All these things piled up,
Just makes me hurt
Chorus
Picasso knew blue
Dylan knew blue
Artists I care for
Have a thing about blue
Baby I can tell you true
I've been through every
Shade of blue
My friends have had the blues
Sadness through and through
Rainbows in the sky even
Have a streak of blue
Elvis danced the blues
With his two suede shoes
Mr. Van Gogh
Drank a case of blue
Chorus
When it's time to say goodbye
That's when I cry
Get the lonely feeling
Never knowing why
That one thing I know from the
Darkest crow
When I look around
I see I'm not alone

I Wanna Be Eccentric
02:32
|
|||
Chorus
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be eccentric
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be bizarre
I could live fearfully
And keep holding on
I could live fearlessly
And see a new dawn
Chorus
I won't dress like everyone else
And say what they say
That's why my hair is pink
I live my own way
Chorus
I could stay home
And hide my true face
But I'm going out there
To join the human race
Chorus
I wanna be eccentric
My voice to fill the room
I wanna be eccentric
And hoooowl...Hoooo
Hoooowl...Hooooo
Hoooowl...Hooooo
Hoooowl...At the Moon

Summer Rain
02:35
|
|||
Once I had a shower under an eve's trough
The rain called me out
Drink in the fragrance of the earth
I love the rain
Once I danced where the old trees grow
Branches gave me a bend and bow
The applause of the leaves
Made my dancing wild
Chorus
I love the rain
I love the rain
Takes away all my pain
I love the rain
Elvis's Kentucky rain keeps on falling
I watch the streets empty out
Just me and the rain
I throw my fears to the air
Some people hide from a sky that's dark
Some people run from a crash and a spark
I see lightning and I reach to the sky
I wanna start a flame and fly
Chorus
I love the rain...the rain
I love the rain...the rain
Takes away all my pain...my pain
I love the rain
Chorus
I love the rain...the rain
I love the rain...the rain
Takes away all my pain...my pain
I love the rain
I love the rain

Gonna take the storm windows down
And lose my winter frown
The car windows down
Life coming back around
Chorus
Got a spring in my step
Got a song on my lips
Got a beat in my heart
And I'm shaking my hips
Got the light in my eye
Takin' off my disguise
Takin' the storm windows down
Hear the birds sing their song
Can this day go wrong
Feel the breeze in my hair
Smell that fresh warm air
Chorus
No money in my pocket
No food on the table
This world can be so unstable
Be what grows
Crocuses in the snow
Plant a seed in the ground
Laughter all around
Nothing puts me down
What's been lost is found

Chill in the Air
02:56
|
|||
There's a chill in the air today
Winter won't go away
Blow wind blow
Like the chambers of the heart
People are locked away
Blow wind blow
Chorus
Hold on to thoughts of spring
Wait for the birds to sing
Blossoms will bloom again
Oh sweet spring
Sweet sweet spring
Snowdrops lost in the snow
Winter should be gone
The snow holds on
Head down out of the wind
Missing the warmth of sun
Blow wind blow
Chorus
The city is cloaked in ice
Streetcars nowhere in sight
The wind blows and blows
The winter of twenty-fifteen
Surrounded by frozen trees
Please let Persephone go!
Blow wind blow
Chorus
Oh sweet spring
Sweet sweet spring

Crazy Moon
02:44
|
|||
Crazy moon
Crazy moon
I'm being driven by the crazy moon
Crazy moon, crazy moon
That crazy moon
That's back too soon
I was born by the sea a long time ago
Deep inside my soul
It pounds and rolls
Like midnight doom,
Washing over you
As it passes through the stages
Of the crazy moon
The sun is hot
And the moon is cold
The moon is silver
And the sun is gold
The sun is king
But it's gone too soon
And we're all ruled
By the crazy moon
Chorus
My feelings go up
And then down again
It ain't easy being a man
Two-thirds the distance
To the cold, cold tomb
Chained and bound
To the crazy moon
I wish that I could rise up
To the golden day
Far from the dues I pay
No worries 'bout being done too soon
Or being laid low by the crazy moon
Chorus

Hot, Hot Day
02:32
|
|||
It's kinda hard
To push your brain
On a hot, hot day
It's way too hard
To work
On a hot, hot day
I don't want to be on my laptop
I wanna hang out in flip flops
Chorus
Because it's hard
Too hard
On a hot, hot day
It's like I'm climbing up a hill
And I really wanna chill
I wanna be so cool
I wanna jump in a swimming pool
I don't wanna wear all these clothes
I just wanna run under a hose
Chorus
Because it's hot
So hot
On a hot, hot day
When you're livin' in the city
Everyone's looking pretty
But you can't get things done
On a hot day in the sun
I don't wanna be on my cellphone
I wanna lemonade
And I wanna be home
Chorus
Becuase it's hot
So hot
On a hot, hot day
Because it's hot
So hot
On a hot, hot day

The Days of Magic
02:45
|
|||
The first kiss
The first dance
The first time we held hands
Our hearts race
Our palms sweat
Oh will this love last?
Oh will this love last
The first date
The first smile
The first time the phone rang
We feel weak
We can't talk
Oh will this love last?
Chorus
We're younger than young
It's too special to talk about
Boys teasing girls, girls teasing boys
Caught between the mysteries
of sorrow and joy
Those were the days of magic
The first look
The first touch
The first time I cared so much
I can't think
My head swims
Will this love last?
Will this love last
The first spring
The first fling
The first time my heart sings
I feel shy
Got butterflies
Oh will this love last?
Chorus
We're younger than young
It's too special to talk about
Boys teasing boys, girls teasing girls
Caught between the mysteries
of sorrow and joy
Those were the days of magic
Those were the days of magic

I love myself
I got no money
I'm in the DSM
I'm in the DSM
I'm so broke
It ain't funny
I'm in the DSM
I'm in the DSM
It's my claim to fame
More diagnostic codes

Schizoaffective disorder you've got

I'm in the DSM
Mad-itutde
Sad-itude
Bad-itude eh!

They all say

They all say it's all in my head
They all say get over it
I just want to stay in bed
Stick that in the DSM!
I love myself
I got no money
I'm in the DSM...
