We've got another show on a Saturday night
Vans all loaded all packed up tight
The bands inside with some roadies in bloom
Crates of beers and some vodka too
We're not Bob Marley and we're not Kiss
We're not Alice Cooper and we're not the Smiths
We're not P Diddy don't hang with no crew
We're not King Elvis ain't got his shoes
A long road ahead hundred miles to go
Another city for another show
City limit signs say we're almost there
The crowds already here so the roof might blow
We're not Soundgarden and we're Pearl Jam
we're not Led Zeppelin don't get their clams
We're not Boyzone we're not Take That
We're not Willie Nelson ain't got his hat
Waiting in line for your favourite show
Energy explodes from the front of the stage
Strobe lights flashing lighting the crowd
Everyone together come ride the vibe
The bands set up the drums are on stage
A soundcheck to do to check we're in tune
The singers gone missing can't be found here too
That's why we're here singing for you
We're not Jay Z and we're not Kid Rock
We're not Slim Shady we're not Tupac
We're not Grand Master and we're not the Flash
We don't know Drake, who? but he ain't me
Waiting in line for your favourite show
Energy explodes from the front of the stage
Strobe lights flashing lighting the crowd
Everyone together come ride the vibe
The shows all done it's all over now
Late night drinkers and girls of the night
Pack up your gear and leave the club
It's a long drive home and the sun is up
We're not your lawyer or your waiters too
We're not your doctor or some health guru
We'll cure your ills with wailing guitars
We'll expand your mind with some funky grooves
Waiting in line for your favourite show
Energy explodes from the front of the stage
Strobe lights flashing lighting the crowd
Everyone together come feel the love
It's all over now and we're back at home
Sitting in the dark got the AC Blues
Waiting for the next got an itch in my shoes
There's no more cure for the AC Blues

I've got a little story a tale to tell
Bout a man I met and his Louisianna gal
Mississippi flows down to New Orleans
And here we find the famous jazz scene
Liquor flows free people packed in tight
Beats and trumpets heard through the night
Everybody knew her on the scene
She's almost as famous as the actor Jame Dean
Wore an emerald green dress
With her jet black hair
She had thrift shop jewels
And a black eye to pair
Smoked her cigarettes
With her whiskey in hand
She didn't really care if she had an affair
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She gonna get you too
Louisianna Lou
She's in the wings with a bottle of beer
Waiting for her turn she's always on cue
The band will soon be ready though she'll never play a note
She goes where she wants always smoking her dope
Louisianna Lou is a girl we all knew
Special in her own way she's one of the few
Counting down the hours till the show is done
We head backstage to start the fun
She mused all the greats from back in the day
You can still hear her voice to this very day
Her sounds will echo through all of time
To blow really hard is the way we play
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She gonna get you too
Louisianna Lou
She's softley spoken when you see her outside
When the sun goes down she's Louisianna Lou
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She gonna get you too
Louisianna Lou

My baby, she loves me there's no other babe for me
My baby, she loves me there's no other babe for me
Me and my baby, Oh Yeah, just us two in the world
My Baby she knows me, Like no other baby does
My Baby she knows me, Like no other baby does
Sitting here, me and my baby, and my valve amplifier

I'm sitting down on my bed
My hands inside my head
My bank account is empty
All my money flew away
I think of all the good times
All the fun we had before
You keep me awake late at night
One day I'll get to hold you tight
I wonder why we cry
I wonder why we cry
I wonder why we cry
As we sit beneath the same blue sky
I wonder why we cry
I wonder why we cry
I wonder why we cry
As we sit beneath the same big sky
I find myself weeping
At the thought of you so far away
I wonder if you're cold at night
Lonely I despair
I'm holding our old memories
Of us in happier times
I'm waiting for the day to come
I can hold you in my arms again
I wonder why we cry
I wonder why we cry
I wonder why we cry
As we sit beneath the same blue sky
I wonder why we cry
I wonder why we cry
I wonder why we cry
As we sit beneath the same big sky
The day has come, it's finally here
I'm up at dawn, driving down to see you
The roads are quiet, no traffic to be seen
My heart beats faster the nearer I feel to you
The car pulls up I race inside
I see you sitting there
My pounding heart explodes
I'll never pawn my guitar again

Open the box and see you inside
Bluella the blue princess of the bass
She's got shiny new strings and red strap to match
Hold her for the first time she won't break my back
Plucking my bass so the sound hits my face
My finger might be blistered my hands might be torn
My muscles are hurting and my eardrums are sore
Timing ain't a clock but it gets me on form
Gotta keep on playing and break through the pain
I looked for a hero, and found myself a flea
Mellowship in b is too much for me
Back to the basics, play it again and again
Practice makes perfect let the journey begin
Gas ain't an element it'll break my piggy bank
I'm 12 years old and just started playing bass
I wrote my very first song on bluella the bass
Grown up in a studio but never knew what it meant
But my first songs on a record, which I think is pretty ace
I'm 12 years old and just started playing bass
I wrote my very first song on bluella the bass
Grown up in a studio but never knew what it meant
But my first songs on a record, which I think is pretty ace

All Round The World
04:10

All round the world, spread far and wide
Music unites us, all round the world
Revolution is starting, wakes from it's slumber
We are together, all round the world
New years day we're so full of hope, this was to be our year
But out from the east came a bat snack feast and put it all to shame
The lights went dark and the doors were all shut the stages left all empty
The world has changed I never knew it could our lives will never be the same
All round the world, spread far and wide
Music unites us, all round the world
Revolution is starting, wakes from it's slumber
We are together, all round the world
There's people all round the world and they're just like you and me
If you're rich or if you're poor or whatever your views may be
We may be all round the world spread out far and wide
But no matter what type of music you play we're all part of this tide
All round the world, spread far and wide
Music unites us, all round the world
Revolution is starting, wakes from it's slumber
We are together, all round the world
It doesn't really matter if you think you rule the scene
The fact is really simple that you work for you and me
An important thing to remember while sitting watching here my friend
Is to have a jolly good time and rock n roll be free
All round the world, spread far and wide
Music unites us, all round the world
Revolution is starting, wakes from it's slumber
We are together, all round the world
The bedroom now has become the stage our phones have become the doors
To hear soul music seep out the heart has become what we adore
All round the world, spread far and wide
Music unites us, all round the world
Revolution is starting, wakes from it's slumber
We are together, all round the world

No Regrets

The day I met you so long ago
We were so small, young and wild
I found a friend, a friend in music
Bound in notes and chords and songs
From that day on my life has changed
I knew it would never be the same
Companions in passion with highs and lows
Adventures in towns we didn't know
We saw the world with different eyes
We saw the same
Memories mayhem no regrets
Life should be great and not always long
Seize it live it love it long
Play it hard don't play it safe
The day you were gone was a day to forget
I cried my tears and no regrets
Each day you lived your life to the full
No point waiting for a sunny day to come
Life's too short to live with what ifs
Saving your passions for a rainy day
Sunrises were early and sunsets were late
Time was short but memories are long
I remember a time of adventures of three
Now it's just us three
Memories mayhem no regrets
Life should be great and not always long
Seize it live it love it long
Play it hard don't play it safe
Memories mayhem no regrets
Life should be great and not always long
Seize it live it love it long
Play it hard don't play it safe
Twenty years and I think what you've missed
I smile and know you'd laugh with me
Seen more crazy things we could ever dream
Weddings, gigs and travels to lands far off
Memories mayhem no regrets
Life should be great and not always long
Seize it live it love it long
Play it hard don't play it safe
Memories mayhem no regrets
Life should be great and not always long
Seize it live it love it long
Play it hard don't play it safe

Rolling Out Of Bed
03:27
|

|
Tripping and falling and rolling out of bed
Sounds around me I can't get you out of me head
Coffee in the mornings and then I tune my drums
I got nothing better to do than sit and play a tune
Get a job
They said
Time waster
They said
Haven't got a chair, haven't got a home
My drums aren't a looker but it's the only thing I own
They're a real workhorse breed performed in hundreds of shows
Dents and scratches all over the scars from all the beats
Pack them up pack them down, we've done this before
Drumset up and sorted the quiet before the storm
Get a job
They said
Time waster
They said
Torn jeans with gold boots and dreadlocks in my hair
Zildjian vest all covered in holes but I don't really care
Run through stellawood cemetery to hitchhike to a friend
Got my promarks in my pocket and a snare drum on my back
Pigeon valley late at night hoffmans bike is by our side
Walking round the wilderness we hear strange and spooky sounds
Monkey's sitting in the tree tops, rain falling to the ground
Climb a big old Mango tree and talk to my eidolon
Mary Jane
She keeps us sane
Mary Jane
Our favourite spikey green haired
The storm hits hard with thunder above, lightning all around
Black ocean danced and swirled far out, never turn our backs on it
The demon face comes out the rock to eat us one by one
It sends its young to ruin our fun and the night comes to an end
Mary Jane
She keeps us sane
Mary Jane
Our favourite spikey green haired dame

Waiting
05:02

Standing in line to see your favourite band
Pushing to the front of the stage
The house lights dim and the music fades away
Waiting for the show to begin
A heave from the back
As there's movement up front
And the crowd now erupts to a roar
Jumping up and down
I can feel it down my spine
Jumping up and down
It's coursing through my veins
Jumping up and down
Out another night again
Jumping up and down
Until the sun comes round
Any moment now
Electricity will flow
The band steps up to the stage
Ecstacy peaks as the drums drop the beat
And the bass line eats up your face
Your heroes upfront they're larger then life
Like the posters that hang from your walls
Jumping up and down
I can feel it down my spine
Jumping up and down
It's coursing through my veins
Jumping up and down
Out another night again
Jumping up and down
Until the sun comes round
It's all over now
As you're walking back home
A stub to stick on your bed
Covered in sweat and stale beer too
A late night meal for two
The night might be young and we're forever young
And the memories will never fade
Jumping up and down
I can feel it down my spine
Jumping up and down
It's coursing through my veins
Jumping up and down
Out another night again
Jumping up and down
Until the sun comes round

I walk past the corner where you live
I take a glance and see you inside
Everyday I know you'll still be there
And wonder if you ever think of me
One day soon you'll be mine
One day soon we'll be entwined
Other people there looking at you
I don't want them to spend their money inside
I'm almost there nearly got enough
I dream of the day I can hold your curves
One day soon you'll be mine
One day soon we'll be entwined
I can't wait to hear your screams at night
God I want to hear you whisper to me
Your sweetening calls as sweat drips down
Tell me you and I are meant to be
You may claim to be out of my league
But in my heart, I know my worth
I've busted my ass and I've paid my dues
None of the others came close to you
One day soon I'll own you too
One day soon we'll play as one
Today's the day the time has come
I'm brave enough to take the plunge
I'm going inside with my feelings sky high
Nervous excitement a natural high
Today's the day I've had enough
Today I bought my Paul Reed Smith
I can't wait to hear your screams at night
God I want to hear you whisper to me
Your sweetening calls as sweat drips down
Tell me you and I are meant to be
I can't wait to hear your screams at night
God I want to hear you whisper to me
Your sweetening calls as sweat drips down
Tell me you and I are meant to be

Procrastination
06:26

The rain lashes down against the window
On my fourth floor hotel room
Late at night
As I sit here all alone by myself and I'm thinking
Of what has been and what will be
Time oh I don't know
It's the morning and we're in transit we're driving
Grey clouds overhead and mist on the windshield
As the road in front looks like a snake into the distance
I wonder about how I got here and why I'm so far from home
The days drag out ahead of me from town to city to town
The same show night after night but the people are differant
Time oh I don't know
About time I don't know
The distances between us spread further as time passes on
Every show means we're apart and I'm alone with my thoughts
Even though there's people around me in my face and in my head
They're talking all the time to me but I can't hear what they say
After the show is over I'm back in a hotel room all alone again
Others that are inside mean nothing as they fade away
Time oh I don't know
About time I don't know
Time oh I don't know
About time I don't know
Will time leave me behind

Hey pretty girl can I have a cigarette
It's nice to see you on the dance floor tonight
I love your dress and you're made up real good
Did you know you'd lay those gorgeous eyes on me
Can I buy another drink for you
And should we go outside to talk too true
I've got something here that you might like
Any one you please they're all here for you
Dejection and rejection as I'm shot down yet again
A heat seeking missile has hit me from behind
A fighter spinning down spiral smoke fulls the sky
My night might be over because it's crashed into the ground
Hey hot shot I really like your moves
You're wearing a lot do you think you're really hot
Going to stand there all night or buy me a drink
It's eleven thirty five and I'm digging your vibes
The face floor is cool but I'd rather be with you
Want to go outside for a smoke or a ride
Stay up all night and watch a sunrise
Who knows I might like you and keep you around
Infatuation and attraction takes my sense away
I'm ready for a good time and you might be my kind
Take me back to your place let's have a few more drinks
I've had a few already it won't push me over the brink

By My Side
06:44
|

Sitting next to you my head is full of stories
I try how I try but they never want to leave my mind
We walk together and I hear just what you say
You're my muse of life and a song comes our way
Words fall onto the paper they define themselves in ink
Verse after verse just rolls of my tongue like that
Soon my heads all empty and there's nothing left inside
The tale we tell is over and fits nicely to our song
Together we're on the same page
Our mind gelled like a wine that's aged
When I'm conjuring here with you
The song comes out thick and fast
Creating songs and journeys far
Because of musing by my side
With all that we have been through
Since the day we first met
Trials and tribulations
And days of near death
Bringing our new life to this world
Our minds and bodies combine as one
We just want to ride on our alien vibe
The spaceman sings his songs to us
Smoking dragons tales we've never tried
Spent too many years sitting on a bus
My silver pen has run dry but you've always got one for me
And now we write and play our songs as just us three
The're no where else in the world that's the same
As sitting here with you by my side
The voices in my head try tell me what to say
But you're my voice of reason and you keep me in the play
Another shot of whiskey while rolling with our boss
My head is clear my mind is not I prayer we're never lost
The stories that we sing to you
Are nothing but the truth I say
Every tale and journey we ever had
Is written in these words
Dirty straights are a thing of the past
Practicing with fresh cut grass
Sitting on an empty field
With a bottle of wine to see us through
The summer days seem to pass so slow
Our childhood seemed to last for years
But none of that matters anymore
We just want to ride on our alien vibe
The spaceman sings his songs to us
Smoking dragons tales we've never tried
Spent too many years sitting on a bus
