Please Louise
We’d go out all night long
You were the only one who made me feel like I belong
You and I like sisters we were
As a basket weave only stronger than timber
In the dead of the night it all comes back
The memory of when you stopped being my friend, oh
Please Louise, why’d you drive on by?
You left me on the corner with some random guy
It was jealousy all those years ago
It was the reason why you let our friendship go
Oh please, please, please Louise
I never knew I had it in me
Oh, I was so cruel
Would you forgive a jealous fool?
Please Louise
Oh, I was so ashamed
I stole your man like it was some kind of game
Word is out and the truth is in
I need you so much more than I need him
In the dead of the night it all comes back
The memory of when you stopped being my friend, oh
Please Louise, why’d you drive on by?
You left me on the corner with some random guy
It was jealousy all those years ago
It was the reason why you let our friendship go
Oh please, please, please Louise
I never knew I had it in me
Oh, I was so cruel
Would you forgive a jealous fool?
Please Louise
I can hear my footsteps walking down the street that night
It’s a memory that will never fade just like
My reflection in the window
Of a sad cafe
All the people at the tables watch me walk by
They can see the diamond fall from my eye
When it lands it sounds like glass
But it’s worth much more
I was wrong you were right
And I don’t want to fight
Will you ever see my side of the story?
Why’d you drive on by
You left me on the corner with some random guy
It was jealousy all those years ago
It was the reason why you let our friendship go
Oh please, please, please Louise
I never knew I had it in me
Oh, I was so cruel
Would you forgive a jealous fool?
Please Louise, please

Table For One

Table for One
How subliminal
When I’m walking through
Past the baker boys
Up the avenue
Down the lane and then
To a little café
Where I tell them I
Want a table for one
Wood or laminate
These are surfaces
That I think are great
Through the window the
Sky’s a silver spoon
Look, an early moon
Watches over me
At my table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for
Watch the people talk
Form opinions on
Who’s a little bit
Like the other one
When my coffee comes
Lose myself in the
pages of a paperback
I’ve got a table for one
Now the other guys
Try to analyse
Who I really am
They see lonely nights
Or somebody who
Likes a little time
Up the avenue
At my table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for one
One, one, oh I’ve got a table for

Don’t Look Back
There was a fire burning, burning deep inside
Those flickering flames they set my heart alight
Those hills and turns and forks and bends in the road
I held your hand while all night long we drove
Hey, I remember those
words you said
It’s the only dream I have
To be wild and young at heart
I believed you when you said
We’ll feel better if we don’t look back
So, don’t look back
Like Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde you and me
We felt so alive on the run we felt so free
I caught your desire in a broken net and let it slip away
Hey, I remember when you’d say
It’s the only dream I have
To be wild and young at heart
I believed you when you said
We’ll feel better if we don’t look back
Don’t hate me when I tell you
I found photographs and now I’m looking back
Oh, young love you’re like a trophy
Held in the hands of the winner of a marathon
I got stung
When you said we’d always be one
But forever always comes undone
I hold those words in my head
Those words you said
Ahhh…
It’s the only dream I have
To be wild and young at heart
I believed you when you said
We’ll feel better if we don’t look back
We’ll feel better if we don’t look back
We’ll feel better if we don’t look back

Night Bird
There’s a night bird
In my garden
And it keeps me
Awake at night
And it’s louder than street noise in Manhattan
And I know this ‘cause I’ve compared and contrasted
Little night bird
In Silver Lake
Are you talking
To me?
Little night bird
In Silver Lake
You sound so
Free
Free, like the love that you get from your brother
Free, buy one get another
Free, free like the wind in the trees
That blew when I fell to my knees
Out on the field in a time and a place
When I thought that I could believe
Those bells they tolled for no one else
But you and me
It brings back the memory
Little night bird
In Silver Lake
Are you talking
To me?
Little night bird
In Silver Lake
You sound so
Free
Free, free, free, free

Female Pied Piper

Female Pied Piper
Daylight is overrated
When you like it in the dark
But I’m always attracted
To the spark
And the flame
And the bright lights
When they call my name
I’m gonna follow my heart
‘Cause she wants me to come
She’s a female pied piper
And she runs
In front of me
I don’t care what they say
I’m gonna follow my heart
‘til the end of the day
Up the hill
I wouldn’t have it any other way
One day in September
I might walk away
Then I’ll tell you I’m the great pretender
‘Cause I really wanna stay
Near the flame
And the bright lights
When they call my name
I’m gonna follow my heart
Cause she wants me to come
She’s a female pied piper
And she runs
In front of me
I don’t care what they say
I’m gonna follow my heart
’til the end of the day
Up The hill
I wouldn’t have it any other way
I’m gonna follow in the sun and the rain
I’ll keep on moving like a passenger train
Past the heroes with their broken guitars and their sensitive ways
They’re reaching for stars and they’re lost in a daze
Follow my heart
‘Cause she wants me to come
She’s a female pied piper
And she runs
In front of me
But I don’t care what they say
I’m gonna follow my heart
’til the end of the day
Up the hill
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Up the hill
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Up the hill
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Up the hill
I wouldn’t have it any other way
(I’m gonna follow you there, follow you there…)

Lovers Lie

Lovers Lie
How long does it take
For a heartbreaker to break
Every single string
Oh, you sentimental thing
And all those twists and turns
And the lessons that you learned
Searching for some proof
Is it ever okay to stretch the truth?
Oh, oh oh oh
Desert diamond in the sky
Now I know it’s true
Every time your lover lies
It’s because they love you
Oh!
Every lover lies
To keep the love, to keep the love alive
Oh, oh oh!
Look me in the eyes
I wanna keep the love, keep the love alive
Cause all good lovers lie
All good lovers lie
The fault lines in my palms
Are flattered by your charms
And the way I wear my hair
Does not look so great but you don’t care
You tell a little lie
You say you look great tonight
There you go that’s proof
Sometimes little lies are worth more than truth
Oh, oh oh oh
Desert diamond in the sky
Now I know it’s true
Every time your lover lies
It’s because they love you
Oh!
Every lover lies
To keep the love, to keep the love alive
Oh, oh oh!
Look me in the eyes
I wanna keep the love, keep the love alive
‘Cause all good lovers lie
All good lovers lie
All good lovers lie
All good lovers lie
So, kiss me
Tell me that you miss me
Even when you don’t, oh oh
We know the game, we know the game of love
And we just wanna play
Play the game of love
Oh!
Every lover lies
To keep the love, to keep the love alive
Oh, oh oh!
Look me in the eyes
I wanna keep the love, keep the love alive
‘Cause all good lovers lie
All good lovers lie
All good lovers lie
(Good lovers, good lovers, good lovers, good lovers)
All good lovers lie
(Good lovers, good lovers, good lovers)

Float With You

Float with You
After all the battles fought
Both of us were suffering
After all the times I thought
Maybe you’re the answer
Maybe I’ll surrender
I, oh I
Float with you
I, oh I
Float with you
Show me where you hide your heart
Share with me the sorrow
Tell me all the times you thought
Will I find the answer?
Should I surrender?
I, oh I
Float with you
I, oh I
Float with you
Take it all the way with you
Nothing left to say but I do
I, oh I
Float with you
I, oh I
Float with you
I, oh I
Float with you
I, oh I
Float with you

We Are Young
We’re all the same
Hoping we get better with age
That’s what we say
But it’s the truth
Don’t deny you’re chasing your youth
Like a dog chases its tail
Or a ship that’s setting sail
In search of something new
But I will feel so young
When I stand outside
Hold my face up into the breeze
‘Cause it’s a state of mind
And a way of being
That makes us feel free
Together, forever
We are young
Rising like the morning sun
Together, forever
We are young
This tender age
Tender age we all tend to crave
Like first of spring
When dewdrops fall
But I won’t wear a tear anymore
Looking back, it was the best
Looking forward I will rest
Rest assured
‘Cause I will feel so young
When I stand outside
Hold my face up into the breeze
‘Cause it’s a state of mind
And a way of being
That makes us feel free
Together, forever
We are young
Rising like the morning sun
Together, forever
We are young

Real Born Tragic

Real Born Tragic
Sometimes when you look twice
Your reflection is so nice
Like a winning card or a dice
Rolling on a run
And other days my friend
There’s a wall or a complete end
To the happy times you’d spend
Roaming on your own
Here we go
Bright lights shine
For the show
We stand in line
Give me some heartbreak with a little magic
Entertain me like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I’ll lose myself like a true romantic
When you act like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Right inside that theme
Is a storyline that screams
And a character who seems
Like she might end it all
And deep within that rage
Right up on that stage
Like a mirror we can see
That we’re all the same
Here we go
Bright lights shine
For the show
We stand in line
Give me some heartbreak with a little magic
Entertain me like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I’ll lose myself like a true romantic
When you act like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
I know, I know, I know, I’m gonna get my fingers burned
I know, I know, I know, I’m gonna get my money’s worth
I know, I know, I know, I’m gonna thank you for the show
Give me some heartbreak with a little magic
Entertain me like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I’ll lose myself like a true romantic
When you act like a real born tragic
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
When you act like a real born tragic
When you act like a real born tragic…

Fill My Senses
I wrap my hands around my coffee cup
In the morning when I’m warming all my senses up
So I’m open and I’m tuned into
All the little things
That make me smile
That make each day feel, more than ok
I can tell you again and again
I wanna fill my senses
I wanna feel brand new
I wanna ride into the sunset
And savour the view
I wanna be that someone
Always on holiday
Waking up to smell the roses
Getting carried away
I wanna fill my senses
Right to the brim
Like a swimming pool overflowing
Dive deep into the sound of a duet
Rolling on the breeze
Show me a waterfall
To lay my eyes upon
Give me a taste of home
Play me my favourite song
I wanna feel brand new
I wanna ride into the sunset
And savour the view
I wanna be that someone
Always on holiday
Waking up to smell the roses
Getting carried away
I wanna fill my senses
Right to the brim
Like a swimming pool overflowing
Dive deep into the sound of a duet
Rolling on the breeze
Give me a lover who
Loves me the whole night through
Into the morning time
Give me some peace of mind
I wanna fill my senses
I wanna fill my senses
I wanna fill my

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
