Get Lucky 02:26
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 (words& music © Kim Bingham)

Up! 03:44
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 (words & music: © Kim Bingham)

Sweet Irene 03:16
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 02:22
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 (words & music © Kim Bingham)

Party Girl 02:46
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 (musique: Kim Bingham,paroles: Franck Deweare & Kim Bingham)

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 (Words & Music © Kim Bingham)

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 (words & music © Kim Bingham )

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) (Tim Finn)

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 (musique: Jean-Francois Rivard & Kim Bingham, paroles: Kim Bingham)

Spotlight 03:09
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 03:08
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 (words & music © Kim Bingham)
