"Starter Kit" Lyrics
Yin & Yang
Back & Forth
Back & Forth
Ya tease me, then you please me
There's never knowing which way you'll go, go, go
Maybe you need to trust me
Baby, you save me, you lose me
There's never enough of your touch, so much
Could there be a better, path to your heart
Take my hand and let me know
I say what I mean
Tell me, tell me, what you want to hear
That's what I love, it's always
Ya tease me, then you please me
There's never knowing which way you'll go, go, go
Maybe you need to trust me
Baby, you save me, you lose me
There's never enough of your touch, so much
Could there be a better, path to your heart
Take my hand and let me know
I say what I mean
Tell me, tell me, what you want to hear
That's what I love, it's always different
You're the half, that I've been missing
You're my yang to my yin oo-oo-oo-oo
Darling, you show me, you teach me
There's always time for our love, our love
Maybe I need to trust you
Honey, you start me, you stop me
With the things you say with your words, your looks
Could there be a better, path your to your heart
Is it yes or no
I say what I mean
Tell me, tell me, what you want to hear
That's what I love, it's always different
You're the half, that I've been missing
You're my yang to my yin oo-oo-oo-oo
Sweet heart, you kiss me, you slap me
There's always strings attached to your love, your love
Maybe you need to trust me
Baby, you embrace me, you shun me, you chase me
Than kiss me, than kiss me
There's got to be an easier, path to your heart
Tell me which way to go
I say what I mean
Tell me, tell me, what you want to hear
That's what I love, it's always different
You're the half, that I've been missing
You're my yang to my yin oo-oo-oo-oo
That's what I love, it's always different
You're the half, that I've been missing
You're my yang to my yin oo-oo-oo-oo

It's Over
Back & Forth
My Heart is Home with You
First time I saw you
Your smile called me over
I couldn't find a word to say
I was too shy
Winter turned into spring
We did everything
I won't forget
The promises, the hugs and the kisses
I don't regret
That we met
And the time we spent
It's a pity when love dies out
But I know now
It's over
You'd text your love
My heart would just jump
All of life
First time I saw you
Your smile called me over
I couldn't find a word to say
I was too shy
Winter turned into spring
We did everything
I won't forget
The promises, the hugs and the kisses
I don't regret
That we met
And the time we spent
It's a pity when love dies out
But I know now
It's over
You'd text your love
My heart would just jump
All of life was goin' my way
What could change
I would listen to your stories
I would take it all in
Your brown eyes captured me
I couldn't fight back
I don't regret
That we met
And the time we spent
It's a pity when love dies out
But I know now
It's over
I hope someday we can laugh
Someday we can sit together
All our troubles laid to rest
And wish we could go back again
I loved you
But that wasn't enough for you
You had moved on
You broke my heart
By the end of summer
Our love had changed
Winter skies came in
Then you stopped coming 'round
Don't regret having met
Don't regret having met
Don't regret having met
Don't regret
Don't regret
Don't regret

Thinking of the words we said
Why didn't I just agree with you
It's only words that keep us apart
What do I do, can you hear me

What do I do, can you hear me
What can I do, what don't I see
Is it so difficult to let your heart go

Sometimes it feels like we're in heaven
Sometimes it feels like god damn hell
To find the streets always ( have) lead to your heart
Only to realize my heart is home with you
As I look up at the stars
Will they show me my destiny
Can I change and sing another tune
Will the stars reveal to me another way to go
A way that I will show to you
I'll be faithful and true to you
I hope that I will find the street to you
Where you're always ready with your warm embrace
Sometimes it feels like heaven
Sometimes it feels like burning hell
To find the streets have always lead to your heart
Only to realize my heart is home with you
The stars aren't out tonight
I'll find my own moon light
I close my eyes
I see your smile
Than I'm home again
Every street that I walk on
Leads me to your heart
Only to realize my heart is home with you
I'm searching for heart

Girl you're the one

Follow me, follow me

Feel what it does
In the dance of love
Feel what it does

I know a girl with long black hair
When she walks down the street, everybody stares

She knows someday she'll find it somewhere, somewhere

She turns and she flirts with a twist of her skirt
And then she gives a smile

Then she'll stand you up, that's just her style, her style

Just change your mind, you can't live in the past

The Choices We Make
The Ballad of Ellie Nova
Every day I am reminded
Of, lost chances
We could have

Form our destiny
Each choice we make
Will change our lives
All it takes, is faith, trust
Which path we take, each choice we make
Forms our destiny

Believe it, do it
Take the powe

Each choice we make
Will change our lives
All it takes, is faith, trust
Which path we take, each choice we make
Forms our destiny

If only we dare, things would be different
Believe it, do it
Take the power
Every day I am reminded
Of the chances
We have should have

Which path to take, each choice we make
Forms our destiny
The path we take, the decisions we make
Is the journey of life.

You'll Be Back By Christmas
You'll Be Back By Christmas
He is gone
Without a single word
He left through the door
So tired of being alone, waiting
By the phone, my broken heart
I miss you
Darling I do, I do
Is it just a dream?
You'll be back by Christmas
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I can't believe
We are still apart
I haven't heard a word
So scared you won't come home
Waiting, by the door
I love you so
He is gone
Without a single word
He left through the door
So tired of being alone, waiting
By the phone, my broken heart
I miss you
Darling I do, I do
Is it just a dream?
You'll be back by Christmas
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I can't believe
We are still apart
I haven't heard a word
So scared you won't come home
Waiting, by the door
I love you so, I miss you
What can I do, I do
Is it just a dream?
Ah's
We find the tallest Christmas tree
We'll drape it with tinsel
And decorate the house with lights
All those Christmas memories
Make it fell like yesterday
He is gone
Without a single word
He left through the door
So tired being alone, waiting
By the phone, my broken heart
I miss you
Darling I do, I do
Is it just a dream?
You'll be back by Christmas
La, la's

"In The Meantime..." Lyrics
I Never Got Enough
Do you remember when we first met
At that bar in East Greenwich
We grazed into each other's eyes
As we talked all night, together
Do you still remember?
Do you remember, how we laughed that night
I told you “this felt right”
I believe you, felt this too
It was real
Do you still remember?
Sometimes I hear your name
I realize no ones to b
Do you remember when we first met
At that bar in East Greenwich
We grazed into each other's eyes
As we talked all night, together
Do you still remember?
Do you remember, how we laughed that night
I told you “this felt right”
I believe you, felt this too
It was real
Do you still remember?
Sometimes I hear your name
I realize no ones to blame
But in the night, I still call your name
Oh yeah
I never got enough, never got enough, no!
Never got enough, of you
Those days, they burned with promise Thinking nothing could stop us
As we spent all that time together
Do you still remember?
Those moments have left my mind
I had to leave those memories behind Although I still remember your face
Always, always
I never got enough
Never got enough, no I never got enough of you
In the end, I never got enough, of you
I never, I never, I never, got enough
Never enough Never enough Never

Is Anybody Listening?
I see you laughing
And you're smiling again
What's so funny honey
Is it something I said,
Feeling over-loaded
Get out of my head
My heart is split right open
It's time to re-direct
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
It's time to make some revisions
Before I get out of here
It's just a cover-up

I see you laughing
And you're smiling again
What's so funny honey
Is it something I said,
Feeling over-loaded
Get out of my head
My heart is split right open
It's time to re-direct
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
It's time to make some revisions
Before I get out of here
It's just a cover-up
That no one ever sees
I think I'll turn it around
To the other side of me
Find my inspiration
I know it's buried inside
Gotta keep on moving
I got nothing to hide
All the consequences
I've already paid
All the expectations
Are starting to fade
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
It's time to make some revisions
Before I get out of here
I think I figured it out
I'm gonna make a deal
I know now, what it's about
And I'm right behind the wheel
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
It's time to make some revisions
Before I get out of here
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
It's time to make some revisions
Before I get out of here
Before I get out of.... I gotta get out.... I gotta get out, out of here Before I get out of.... Gotta get out.... I gotta get out of here.

Turn Her Life Around
When she was young, things came easy
Her mother told her,
“You'll go far”
And her father always said,
“Practice, practice, and my angel, you'll be a star”
Then she left home, looking for fame
Where she found, a city boy
Who would turn her life around?
With a crushing toll
Her new life broke her soul
Ambition took control
Gosh and beguile
When she was young, things came easy
Her mother told her,
“You'll go far”
And her father always said,
“Practice, practice, and my angel, you'll be a star”
Then she left home, looking for fame
Where she found, a city boy
Who would turn her life around?
With a crushing toll
Her new life broke her soul
Ambition took control
Gosh and beguiled
Put through the trials
And that's the way, she took control
As life repeats, she went back home to the country
Where she found, a boy
Who would turn her life around?
She collected friends, like autographs
On her way, to become a star
Her ambitions, blinded her and stifled her emotions
But she kept looking for
Someone, someone
Who would turn her life around?

Love You Openly/ Verboden Liefde #LGBTQ+
When I saw you,
My heart took a jump
and it jumped right back
That's all it took, just one look
Right from the start it was so bad
Oh, oh,
It's never right when it starts like this
So, in life, that's the way it goes
Want you so badly, for you to be mine
Oh, Oh,
It's hard to explain, the feeling I get
Every-time I hear your name.
I love
When I saw you,
My heart took a jump
and it jumped right back
That's all it took, just one look
Right from the start it was so bad
Oh, oh,
It's never right when it starts like this
So, in life, that's the way it goes
Want you so badly, for you to be mine
Oh, Oh,
It's hard to explain, the feeling I get
Every-time I hear your name.
I love you with a love that's forbidden
When I, look into your eyes
I just want to cry
I wanna love you openly
We can't dwell on the past
All we have is today
We've come this far
And we can't change who we love
We've danced this dance before
What is true? What is real? It's what we feel. Als ik je zie
Kan ik het niet houden, wil ik van je houden Want één blik is genoeg
We gaan altijd te ver, te vroeg.
Oh, oh
Dat het hier stopt is het beste
Voordat we de liefde testen
Maar ik wil zo graag dat je de mijne bent
Oh, oh
Hoe ik me voel kan ik niet verklaren Wanneer ik je zie stralen
Verboden liefde, niets dan commentaar
Als ik in je ogen kijk
't Is alsof ik bezwijk
Kwil van je houden, ook in 't openbaar.

Alguna vez, jóvenes y fecundos de mal
como si la piel tuviera algo
que decirnos.
A orillas, nuestros cuerpos amantes, asfixiados como un barco
cansado de remover recuerdos.
Videntes al tiempo, armados
de fieras encarnadas
como si esta hoguera apuntara al cielo.
Se cuelga a mis hombros la salvación, separándonos a la distancia de la luz
como si la tierra besara nuestras frentes.
2
También gritábamos
a los hielos, al polvo,
a las raíces húmedas de canto,
al rayo destinado
como también.
Y también subíamos al mundo
ahogados en esquinas rojas,
en las puertas encogidas, voraces,
en la montaña azul, afiebrada
como soplo en lo eterno,
ajenos a todo lo mortal
donde tuviste alas. También.
English 1
Ever, young and fruitful of evil
as if the skin had something to tell us.
On shores, our loving bodies,
suffocated like a ship
tired of stirring memories.
Seers at the same time, armed with incarnate beasts
as if this bonfire pointed to the sky.
Salvation hangs on my shoulders,
separating at a distance from the light
as if the earth kissed our foreheads.
2
We also shouted
to ice, to dust,
to wet roots of song,
to the intended lightning
as well.
And we also went up into the world. drowned in red corners,
in the shrunken, voracious doors,
on the blue mountain, feverish
as a breath in the eternal,
oblivious to all that is mortal
where you had wings.

"Cuatro" Lyrics
Drink In The Day
Magic sunsets
Shooting stars, on these last days of Summer, Summer
You got to drink in the day
Sway with the wind
Let your dreams take you away
Drink in the day
Open all the doors
Listen to the children, Sing, sing
Drink in the day, Open your mind
Let your vision guide you today
I'm not ready
To say goodbye
I want summer, to stay forever
Every day
Magic sunsets
Shooting stars, on these last days of Summer, Summer
You got to drink in the day
Sway with the wind
Let your dreams take you away
Drink in the day
Open all the doors
Listen to the children, Sing, sing
Drink in the day, Open your mind
Let your vision guide you today
I'm not ready
To say goodbye
I want summer, to stay forever
Every day is shorter
And a little colder
Let's have fun on these last days, of summer
Drink in the day
Open all the doors
Listen to the children, Play, play
Drink in the day, Sway with the wind
Let your dreams take you away
Here we go!
Solo
The trees grow dark, with flocks of summer birds
Waiting to fly, as they follow the summer sun
Be happy today, and don't lose heart
'Cause you know, summer, will be, back again
One more time
Drink in the day
Open all the ways
Listen to the children, Play, play
Drink in the day, Sway with the wind
Let your dreams take you away
So, you got to
Drink in the day
Open all the doors
Listen to the children, Play, play!
Drink in the day, Sway with the wind
Let your dreams take you away!

We Are The Immigrants
We may sound different and not look like you
Yet we bleed just the same
We are your neighbors
Your students, your laborers
Only with, different names
Pay all your taxes and we don't complain

We've traveled far, in search of a new tomorrow
We've fought your wars
So, you can survive

We may sound different and not look like you
Yet we bleed just the same

Your students, your laborers
Only with, different names
Pay all your taxes and we don't complain
We are the immigrants that make your nations grow
We've traveled far, in search of a new tomorrow
We've fought your wars
So, you can survive
We are your artists
Your nurses, your janitors
Only with different origins
Pay all your taxes and then get pushed to the margins
We are the immigrants that build the concrete towers
Pick the crops, and sow all those flowers
Take care of the children
The parents and the spouse
Solo
We are the immigrants who help your lifestyle grow
We've traveled far, so we could have a future
We've fought your oil wars
So, you can drive home
We are the immigrants that make your nations thrive
We come from afar, so we could find a home.

Since I Left Troy

Telemachus is no longer, a small boy

Penelope, Penelope

I'm, on, my way, let Ailos, fill our sails
With the aid of the Phaeacians
I'll find the isle, I left behind
Ithaca, is my home
Where the Suitors roam my palace
Drink and eat my food
Oh Calypso, of Ogygia
Can't you let me go
It's been seven years
Tell Telemachus, I'm still alive, and I'm coming home
Forgive me Poseidon, please Athena
Help me, help me
I've roamed for one score
The Sirens, I had to ignore
Transformed by Circe
And thanks to Hermes, let Ailos, fill our sails
With the Phaeacians
I will find,
The isle, that I left behind
Penelope, Penelope
Can't you please wait, it's in our fate
I'm, on, my way, let Ailos, fill our sails
With the aid of the Phaeacians
I'm on my way, let Ailos, fill our sails
And help us find
The isle, that we left behind
Penelope, my darling
Penelope
Please wait for me
Can't you wait?

How Long?
How long will I bear the pain of my mistakes
Tell me, what I missed
Things went way too quick

It's hard, to compare when you're not there
I know you hurt, hang on
I had so many questions
And, I got, no answers
I never failed you.

Blaring sunlight opened their eyes
Is this the day, that all things will change
Or another day in this slum, this slum, this slum, this slum
You see, Lody, she didn't have a say,
she had no other way
She had only one dream to dream;
To run through the fields of grass
Play with my friends all day
Go visit my mother, too
I would hug her and hug her,
Maybe I could go to school
Maybe I would learn to read
Maybe I could, maybe I could, maybe I could be a kid
“Sounds of Children Playing”
Another day, with no end
Lody: Too much to do, I can't keep up
It keeps on coming, when will it stop?
Keep up, don't stop!
Lody, you see, she didn't have a choice
No voice, no choice, no voice, no choice
Up came the sun, another day
They walk the streets, nothing to eat
No shoes to shield their feet
There's so much to learn, so little time
What was their crime?
Set the children free.
“Sounds of Children Playing”
Only if she could;
Run through the fields of grass
Play with my friends all day
Go visit my father, too
I'd hug him and hug him
Maybe I could go to school
And live the golden rule
If I could be, if I could be, if I could be a kid.

Out there to be found
I know you can hear my prayer
Like sunshine on the ground
We lost the love, and then we lost each other Someday, somehow, I’ll return to you
The secret of your essence
Is the beauty of your soul
I’ve never seen anyone like you before

I know you’re out there
Out there to be found
I know you can hear my prayer
Like sunshine on the ground
We lost the love, and then we lost each other Someday, somehow, I’ll return to you
The secret of your essence
Is the beauty of your soul
I’ve never seen anyone like you before
Somehow, we’ll meet, and we’ll greet
And we’ll embrace each other
You know for me, there’s no other!
Solo
I wonder where you are today.
And if you think of me?
Can you still recall those days
When our world, was all we could see
I loved the things you used to say
Changing with each day
Are you still out there?
We could meet halfway
You see what I’m talking about
Just look into her eyes
I’ve never met anyone like her before
You know somehow, we’ll meet, someday We’ll greet, as we meet
Like we never done before
The secret of your essence
Is the beauty of your soul
I’ve never seen anyone like you before
Somehow, we’ll meet, we’ll greet
And we’ll embrace each other
You know for me, there’s no other.

Do Nothing At All
When I'm undone, overrun
I take a break
Fall asleep, in a haze of dreams
And grand schemes
Troubles come and troubles go
Just let them go
It’s time to do nothing at all
Don’t give it another thought
Yeah, it’ okay to do nothing at all
In the glow of the daylight
I sit down and turn up the music
I float around to the ground
I lo
When I'm undone, overrun
I take a break
Fall asleep, in a haze of dreams
And grand schemes
Troubles come and troubles go
Just let them go
It’s time to do nothing at all
Don’t give it another thought
Yeah, it’ okay to do nothing at all
In the glow of the daylight
I sit down and turn up the music
I float around to the ground
I lost in all my thoughts
And I try to untie all my little knots
Solo
I dream of the day
When I wake, feeling great
('cause I got no pain)
With the sun in the blue sky
Buddy the cat, is waiting at the door
But there are things I can’t ignore
I can’t take this any more
So, I’ll do, nothing, at all
Work like hell, doing nothing at all
Let it all go!
It’s grand to do, nothing at all
Yeah, amen
Just let it all go
It’s fine to do, nothing at all.

On That Perfect Night
In the tangle of the trees
In the late day sky
Blue (as) like nothing, we'd ever seen
Gold like summer's sheen
Glowing, pink, blue, gold
You couldn't describe it
You couldn't put it on hold
Perfect as perfect can be
Under that sun I lost my soul
In the tangle of the trees
In the late day sky
Blue (as) like nothing, we'd ever seen
Gold like summer's sheen
Glowing, pink, blue, gold
You couldn't describe it
You couldn't put it on hold
Perfect as perfect can be
Under that sun I lost my soul on that perfect night Can you still see the sky When you took my heart
On that prefect night
Like a sari, that swirls
On the wind
Or the flicker of a flame
Yellow, orange and gold
Did I dream it, all alone
Between the trees, did you see
The stars, in the summer sky
Under that sun I lost my soul on that perfect night Can you still see the sky When you took my soul on that prefect night
In the tangle of the trees
In the late day sky
Blue as nothing, we'd ever seen
Gold like summer's sheen
Glowing, pink, blue, gold
You couldn't describe it
You couldn't put it on hold
Perfect as perfect can be
Under that sun, oh I lost my soul on that perfect night Can you still see the sky When you took my soul on that prefect night
Is all that glitter, gone?
Does it fall at your feet.

My Life is Complete
I've never put into words
The feelings I hold for you, deep inside
And I've never held you close
Or whispered in your ear
I want you; I need you, that's the truth, my dear
My life, is complete, in a way I can't show Many regrets, with not much time to go
I want to make up, for time we lost
And still, you are the one, and you a
I've never put into words
The feelings I hold for you, deep inside
And I've never held you close
Or whispered in your ear
I want you; I need you, that's the truth, my dear
My life, is complete, in a way I can't show Many regrets, with not much time to go
I want to make up, for time we lost
And still, you are the one, and you always will
Every moment we spend together
Has changed, re-arranged, my live, forever Our feelings will be different, years from now
But you are, part of me, forever now
My life, is complete, in a way I can't show
Yes, I know, gotta let things go
My soul is yours and my desires too
Until my dying days, my heart serves you
If I forgot to tell you, all those years back in time Where breath taking, surreal and sublime
So, thanks again for always, being there
And for all the things, that you caringly do No one could be more, fortunate then me
To a have a love
A love, a love, like you
My life, is complete, in a way I can't show
I know, it's a love that time grows
My soul is yours and my desires too
Until my dying days, my heart serves you
My life, is complete, in a way I can't show
I know, it's my time to go
My soul is yours and my desires too
Until my dying days, my heart serves you

Bake Till Brown
Cooking is what I do to feel happy
When you're blue, you should try to
Need some dough, and get a little dirty
Cool the wine, don't forget the glazing
Clear the day and let it all begin
In your mixing bowl, stir in the ingredients On a floured surface, roll it out
Now open your oven cause here it comes And now, bake 'till

See what you get
Solo
Baking is what I do to feel, happy
When you're blue, you should try to
Fold some dough, and get a little thirsty Drink some wine, now everything seems better
Grease the pan and watch the dough rise Pour in the ingredients, mix it all around
On a floured surface, roll it all out
Pre-heat your oven, egg wash your dough Bake 'till brown See what you got
Solo
Now pour in the ingredients, mix it all around
On a floured surface, roll it all out
It's time for seasoning, fire up that oven
Bake 'till brown
See what you get

All the Little Things
Sure, the world is chalk full of trouble
The powerful laugh, while the polar caps are melting
Can we advocate for change while we’re living in our social bubble
Just like drops of water, just like grains of sand
Make this mighty ocean, mold this amazing land
It’s the big things, you walk around
But it’s the little things, that wi
Sure, the world is chalk full of trouble
The powerful laugh, while the polar caps are melting
Can we advocate for change while we’re living in our social bubble
Just like drops of water, just like grains of sand
Make this mighty ocean, mold this amazing land
It’s the big things, you walk around
But it’s the little things, that will take you down
It’s not the size that makes it special to me It’s the emotions and our histories
Of a connection, time can’t erase
A friendship that will always hold a special place
So let us not forget the small things
And all the things they bring
Solo
One simple gesture, has so much to say
All those little things, take my breath away So, those little moments, humble that they be
Make our mighty ages, of our eternity
