DRAGONFLY
Stu would watch Anthology
And Joe would build a time machine
And I would write a symphony for you
Jennifer would hug some trees
And Henry chill with family
And Jonathon would bungee in the nude
If you could only live a day
Like a dragonfly in May
If you could only live one day
What would you do?
Alison would rob a bank
And Julia would drive a tank
And Beth would swim with dolphins in the sea
Stan would spend the day in bed
And Clive would sail around the Med
And Darrin would submerge a submarine

The melody of a song
The beat it goes on and on ...
The Devil is in the detail
Shame there's nothing left in the retail
Try to live in the here & now
Keep an ear to the track somehow
But there's one thing I can't disown
Got this music in my bones
The more I feel it, the more that I need it
Seems I can't live without it
So why must I doubt it?
The bass line & the beat
To get you on your feet
The rhythm & the rhyme
It just hits you every time
Play it loud & play it proud
Turn it up & jump around!
Yeah, there's one thing I can't disown
I've got this music in my bones ...
The more I feel it, the more that I need it
Seems I can't live without it
So why must I doubt it? (La, La, La)
The melody of a song
The beat it goes on and on ...
The Devil is in the detail
Shame there's nothing left in the retail
Try to live in the here & now
Keep an ear to the track somehow
But there's one thing I can't disown
Got this music in my bones ...
This is something I can't live without
It's in my bones (it won't leave me alone)

LOVE LIKE OURS
Now the storm has passed
It feels like we have won at last
No one's got a love like ours
Now the dust has settled
We don't dig Heavy Metal!
We need to run away ... TODAY
No one's got a love like ours!

SWEET NORAH
Sweet Norah, I can’t ignore her
Deep blue eyes and long brown hair
Sweet Norah, how I adore here
But she don’t register I’m even there
She always looks the other way when I walk by
She just sighs and rolls her eyes
Oh, my, oh, my!
She never has a thing to say and when I try
I get tongue-tied
It’s all a blur, can’t get next to her
Sweet Norah, mon amour-ah!
What can I do to catch her eye?
Sweet Norah, I’d dress up for her
Transform her in disguise
She always looks the other way when I walk by
Oh, my, oh, my!
I don’t know why
She still blows my mind
She never has a thing to say and when I try
I get tongue-tied
It’s all a blur, can’t get next to her
Sweet Norah

MILLIONAIRE
Trying to write a song but it wants to go another way ("Hey! Hey! Hey!")
It's sounding like some Lionel Richie outtake on a bad day
I'm thinking that some combo organ might help things sit right
Plus I'm hoping that some Beach Boy harmonies will bring it to life ("Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!")
"BA! BA! BA!" (x2)
Well we started out with nothing and we've still got most of it left
But, hey, at least we've got each other & you're still wearing my favourite dress. There's no money in this music & it just seems so unfair but with you beside me honey well I feel like a millionaire, yeah!
"BA! BA! BA!" (x2)
With you beside me honey, well I feel like ...
"BA! BA! BA!" (then "LA! LA! LA!") etc.

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on & on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They stumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of earth
Are ringing through my opened mind
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love
Which shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change

I JUST WANNA BE ME
I just wanna be me
You can be who you want
I just wanna be me
Just singing for the byrds (x2)
It's so hard to make a bean
When everyone around you's handing out for free
When I was young I had a dream
But it got crushed by an industry
Because it seems these days if you wanna be a Rock'n'Roll band
You just knock off a song then you log on to Internet Land
And then you spend the next six months just creating your brand
Like some pyramid scheme selling your tin of beans
Well I just wanna be me
You can be who you want
Yeah, I just wanna be me
Just singing for the birds
I just wanna be me
And you may think that that sounds boring
But we've all got a different story
I could change my voice
I could cut my hair
But I've made my choice
And I'll just stay who I am
I, I, I, I, I just wanna be me!

BeBopALuLa
I've got a Northern Soul
A heart of Rock'n'Roll
When life it takes it's toll ...
BeBopALuLa
Those cats they've got me wrong
Just wanna sing my song
We've got it going on ...
BeBopALuLa
It's time to break this mould
Just trying to save your soul
Your cover is about to be blown ...
BeBopALuLa
I'm gonna quit this town
Turn my frown upside down
Round, round get around ...
BeBopALuLa

STAR CROSSED LOVER
I don’t care if the sky falls through
Girl, I just want to be with you
Spin me your lines, I don’t mind
The swing of your hips and the lick of your lips
That current running through your fingertips
Your place or mine, I don’t mind
No, I don’t mind, my star crossed lover
I don’t mind, my star crossed lover
Comb your hair if you want me to
A kiss on the neck if you’re feeling blue
Any old time, it’s alright
There ain’t no rush ‘cause I ain’t going nowhere
You make me feel like some millionaire
Loaded on wine and Valentines
You’re out of time but I don’t mind

IN MY ROOM
There’s a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
In my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my cares
In my room, in my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday
Now it’s dark and I’m alone
But I won’t be afraid
In my room, in my room

KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING
Well, that's the end of the show
I'm afraid I've gotta go
Keep the home fires burning 'til the next time
Thank you all for tuning in
There's so much more I've yet to sing
But I've gotta deal with this thing
So 'til the next time ....
Where I'm bound God only knows
I'll leave yu this to fill the hole
My take on Pet Sounds / Rubber Soul
And tell my wife I love her so
Until the next time then ...
