GET LUCKY
Cleared the cobwebs from my mind
I hear the bells, I watch the sunrise
All set to join the races
I roll around for my first places
They set the numbers way up high
Just wind me up so I’m ready to fly
Hit the wall won’t fall to pieces
I learned the judge don’t call a recess
I lost the attitude
Dropped the kick of being rude
Now I wanna get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Do you wanna get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
I bounce hard all around this maze
Built for speed and your multiple plays
No chance they stop the picture
No more rolling over my main features
I won’t judge this heart’s success
By the depth of one caress
Now I wanna get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Do you wanna get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
(Hey you stop there)
Are you seeing what I’m seeing
(Hey ho let’s go)
Feeling kinda European
Now I wanna get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Do you wanna get lucky in love
Get lucky in love
Get lucky in love

Up!

UP!
For Heaven’s sake stop climbing the walls
That make your reach impossible
You’re hungry for release
We keep working up in spite of it all
The climb is age-old ritual
And I can hardly breathe
Still I’m hearing a calling in the breeze
Life’s getting loud and I’m lost in the waves
Turn it up
I follow the sound I hear the music say
Turn it up
The message I hear comes through loud and clear
It leads you like a pioneer
With miles ahead I see
Eyes in the walls get small as we rise
Leave the envy in disguise
We all get deceived
It’s all becoming what you believe
Life’s getting loud and I’m lost in the waves
Turn it up
I follow the sound I hear the music say
Turn it up
Up
Despite it all
It’s ritual
You hear the call
If it’s all for the taking
Let’s play it like we only win
In a new direction
Life’s getting loud and I’m lost in the waves
I follow the sound I hear the music say
Turn it up
Turn it up
Life’s getting loud and I’m lost in the waves
Turn it up
I follow the sound I hear the music say
Turn it up
Up

SWEET IRENE
Holding hands you're out for a walk
He sat you down
Said you gotta talk
He's breaking up with you for what reason
While you're looking for a man for all seasons
Someone who'll take care of your heart
Who won't press stop when you wanna start
No shutting her off when she's ready to go
You better warn him run for cover
Coz it's lock and load
Sweet Irene
Why you so mean
Sweet Irene Sweet Irene
You've been laying low for a while
Watching the girls always cop your style
Freaky how they eat up your breakdown
So you're coming back to give them a shakedown
Mama's little angel face
Until you open your mouth then nobody's safe
No shutting her off when she's ready to go
You better warn them run for cover
Better hit the road
Sweet Irene
Why you so mean
Sweet Irene Sweet Irene
Sweet Irene (Have you got what she's looking for)
Why you so mean (If you do you're gonna learn the score)
Sweet Irene Sweet Irene
Chere Irene
Tu profites d'une telle beauté
C'est quoi la peine d'etre si amere
Choissis l'amour
Et sort ton coeur de l'enfer
(Guitar solo)
She's a beauty queen She's a real hot mess
Out there looking for your friends Hail an SOS
Sweet Irene
Why you so mean
Sweet Irene Sweet Irene Why you so mean
Sweet Irene (Have you got what she's looking for)
Sweet Irene (If you do you're gonna learn the score)
Sweet Irene (Have you got what she's looking for)
Sweet Irene (If you do you're gonna learn the score)...

BEL AMI
There’s a war
Going on inside your head
And it’s got you feeling so bad
That you don’t know what to do
You go to work
Whether morning’s sunny or grey
As the time bleeds into the days
It leaves your hot red blood cold blue
So I’m turning to you
Can’t you love the disease Bel Ami
I got some beautiful blues
Then we can do as we please Bel Ami
How you long
For a lucky streak that would stay
I remember grand golden days
When you’d play your hand and win
We get along
On a deed a trick or a tale
Find our way to ships’ll sail
Feel the sun upon our skin
So I’m turning to you
Can’t you love the disease Bel Ami
I got some beautiful blues
Then we can do as we please Bel Ami
When fake applicants come flocking
With bouquets and funny talking
You can turn them away
You’re the perfect dream to show up
As we watch the whole world blow up into
Thin white haired cliché
Then we’ll find our peace of mind
You and me
Bel Ami
So I’m turning to you
Can’t you love the disease Bel Ami
I got some beautiful blues
Then we can do as we please Bel Ami

PARTY GIRL
La pluie coulait sur moi en fontaine
collait ma robe à mes lignes
Et même trempée je gardais en tête
Les mots que tu m’avais dits
Tu voulais me garder
pour toi tout seul
J’evitais ma tendance
Dans cette histoire impossible
Toujours laisser une derniere chance
Toutes tes paroles me séduisent
J’n’avais qu’une idée
Toi et moi seuls
Même si je ne suis
Rien qu’une party girl
Un papillon qui rentre en transe
Dans la moiteur des pistes de danse
iens dans ma nuit
Rejoins ta party girl
Avant que le matin nous raisonne
Occupe-toi de moi en personne
J’ai émis des signaux de détresse
sur notre fréquence intime
Tu as capté les s.o.s.
qui se perdaient dans le vide
Tu voulais me garder
pour toi tout seul
Même si je ne suis
Rien qu’une party girl
Une libellule qui se déhanche
Sous les spot lights des pistes de danse
Rejoins ma nuit
Rejoins ta party girl
Avant que le matin nous raisonne
Occupe -toi de moi en personne
Fais de moi tout ce que t’affectionnes
Écris-moi des voyelles des consonnes
Je ne suis qu’une poupée qui se donne
Oh rejoins ma nuit
Rejoins ma nuit
Rejoins ta party girl
Occupe-toi de moi en personne

The Edge You Walk

THE EDGE YOU WALK
I done wrong
Now I’m done losing
Out of games you play unfair
Throw an answer to your victim
Give a sign that you’re still there
The world is kind Leaves you behind
Out on the edge
Out on the edge you walk
Every sight every sound on this barren street
Leaves a trace that disappears
I hear the echo of my heartbeat
I feel time's end coming near
The world is wild For a restless child
Out on the edge
Out on the edge you walk
All your dreams
Rusty schemes
Fit you only
Sipping wealth
By yourself
Does it leave you lonely
When the truth rolls out from your shadow
Have a drink and face it down
Got no shame to dig from the marrow
Got no reason to be bowed
Your foes may try
You'll never die
Out on the edge Out on the edge
Out on the edge you walk

Incredible Places

INCREDIBLE PLACES
On the other side of Mercury
Time is slowly slipping into space
You’re hanging off the edge of seventeen
Stuck inside an ordinary pace
Then one day he came up from behind
Looking like the VIP inside
Asking if you want to go along
Get on the extraordinary ride
Arrow through your heart on the map says
To incredible places
Headed for the sweet embraces
Of incredible places
Looking out your window to the void
You feel like your best is unemployed
Happy but when you’re still you’re bored
Running from the lives you had before
That one day she came up from behind
Looking like the VIP inside
Asking if you want to go along
Get on this extraordinary ride
Arrow through your heart on the map says
To incredible places
Headed for the sweet embraces
Of incredible places
Arrow through your heart on the map says
To incredible places
Fall into the sweet embraces
Of incredible places
Incredible places
Incredible places
Incredible places

Hard Act To Follow

HARD ACT TO FOLLOW
There's a lot of good acts around
Plenty of profound performers
But there's only one, who really gets through to me
Whenever you come on I light up
Everything you do goes down well
I can tell, after you it's all downhill
Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult (so) difficult
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Hard act to follow
Watch a lot of foreign movies
See a lot of late night TV
Looking for a girl to distract me from what you are
Try to lose my concentration
Acting out of sheer frustration
I go out at night, but after you it doesn't feel right
Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult, so difficult
Hard act to follow you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Hard act to follow
There's a lot of good acts around
Plenty of profound performers
But there's only one, who really gets through to me
And I'm not looking for an actress
No, no, no, no saki hostess
All I want is you and you and you and you and you
Encore, encore, encore, encore
Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult to even think of taking in another play
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Lie like Ophelia
Proving you're a mean scene stealer
Proving you're a hard act to follow
Hard act to follow (repeat and vary til fade)

THE HEROES TAKE
Here we are
We’re the leaders of our world
And we break the rules when they don’t mean nothing
Our flag unfurls
Call it anything you want
You can follow coz the crusade has just begun
The heroes take an eye for an eye
Raise the stakes
Pay the highest price for freedom
We’re lifting off
On a mission to the stars
Bound forever to the point we’ll get torn apart
The heroes take an eye for an eye
Raise the stakes
Pay the highest price for freedom
All this time
You got a lot to lose
You got a lot to win
Say your goodbyes before you begin
In battle
Read the names of
All the champions that you face off
Our flag unfurls
Call it anything you want
You can follow coz the crusade has just begun
The heroes take an eye for an eye
Raise the stakes
Pay the highest price for free

SPOTLIGHT
Spotlight spotlight
Tearing up red canopy
Slicing through the fruit trees
Turning on the latest star
And hunting down the refugee
Spotlight spotlight draws you straight to it
It makes you run and hide
It will always find you
It’s coming up behind you
Lighting up your best side
Run run run run run
When it’s burning like the sun sun sun sun sun
Does somebody want to steal you from your spotlight
Staring in its mesmerizing public eye
You lose your mind
It eats life
The white beauty burns when you hold onto it tight
It’s outta sight
So want to be popular
When will you get what you deserve
Feel its glow now here’s you turn
To shine you star you’ll learn you better
Run run run run run
When it’s burning like the sun sun sun sun sun
Does somebody want to steal you from your spotlight
Run run run run run
Don’t you wanna have some fun fun fun fun fun
Everybody needs a little spotlight
Run run run run run
When it’s burning like the sun sun sun sun sun
Does somebody want to steal you from your spotlight
Run run run run run
Don’t you wanna have some fun fun fun fun fun
Everybody needs a little spotlight
Light shines out my head Out my soul until I’m dead
Light shines out my head Out my soul until I’m dead
Light shines out my head Out my soul until I’m dead
Then I walk into the big bright spotlight

OPEN LETTER
To the unanswered masses
To all classes
To those forgotten
From my heart
Through the battle
Through the downpour
To the end
To the end
To the smiling stranger
To my fickle friends
To our wild laughter
From my heart
Through the chaos
Through the hunger
Through the malice
Through the bother
To the end
To the end
They tell you
Spread your wings fly baby fly
Pushed into the sky you get so high
There’s no one to ask the way home
So we make the road our own
Through the fire
Through the winter
Through the ashes
Through my daughter
To the end
To the end
