Best Years
I’ve got something on my mind
Lost in time, I must find
I’ve lost something that I had from my past, I want it back
Days spent with you always cross my mind
Romantic walks that always finished in my bed
Silly games that we would play all day
Are you still in my head?
I’m just running from my life
It’s a lie I cannot buy
Something tells me it’s in my mind
Can’t unwind, I’m running blind
How I wish that I could turn back time
Back to the days we walked together hand in hand I see your face glow under evening sun
Are you still in my head?
Best years of my life
When everything’s alright
They keep calling back to haunt me now
I've been searching in my mind In my mind, when I get high
How I wish that I could turn back time
Back to the days we walked together hand in hand
I see your face glow under evening sun
Are you still in my head?
Best years of my life
When everything’s alright
They keep calling back to haunt me now

What If

What If
Cruising in your automobile
With all the time you can kill
There is nothing that gives you the thrills
And deep inside you know that it’s true
You know the things that you do
May be considered moral abuse
Another time another day
Everything’s the same, think about this
Does it matter “what if”? All it matters is “how”
You know I need you money
Buying, selling goods as you please
You know the people you meet
They’re going to end up down on their knees
And there’s not many things you can say
To justify your ways
It’s time the tables turn for a change
Caught like a rat in a cage
Everything’s the same, think about this
Does it matter “what if”? All it matters is “how”
You know I need you money
We’re on our way
when you’re down on your luck you’ve got nothing to say
It’s a lovely day
you get up off your butt
and you play
Think about this
Does it matter “what if”? All it matters is “how”
You know I need you money

Traveller
I’ve been to places that you have never been
And I’ve seen faces that you have never seen
I’ve heard words I don’t understand
And I’ve had strangers come up to shake my hand
And I spent time on some lonely roads
There were times I didn’t know which way to go
And I don’t mind all the time I’m alone
I guess the things I see they help to keep me going
I’ve tried foods that you would never eat
I’ve walked on roads that were so hot they’d burn your feet
I’ve weathered storms where thunder fills the air
I’ve been in situations where my heart would pound with fear
And I spent time on some lonely roads
There were times I didn’t know which way to go
And I don’t mind all my time alone
I guess the things I see just help to keep me going
And I’ve smoked things that you shouldn’t smoke
I said that I’m a billionaire though I’m completely broke
I’ve snuck into places where I shouldn’t be
The whole world is gone crazy, or maybe it’s just me
And I spent time on some lonely roads
There were times I didn’t know which way to go
And I don’t mind all the time I’m alone
I guess the things I see just help to keep me going

I Believe
I believe baby
That you’re for me and baby I’m for you
And I believe baby
Behind clouds of grey there’s always sky so blue
And I believe babe, to be with you I’d get down on my knees
And I’d give you anything that you please
And I know babe, when I hear your voice you whisper things to me
I feel the love rush from my head to my feet
And I believe baby
When you hold my hand everything feels right
And I believe baby I got the sun by day and the moon and stars by night
And I know babe, when you hold my hand I can do most anything Cause your love just makes me want to sing
And I know babe, when I want you beside me all the time
I’d be in jail if loving you was a crime
Love You
You know it’s true
And me and you
It’s true
I believe baby
When you talk to me I always understand
And I believe baby
When we walk together we go hand in hand
And I know babe when you look at me I fall under your spell
And you take me straight to heaven from hell
And I know babe, when you call my name your voice is music to my ears
You’re the one I waited for all these years
Love You
It’s true
Me and you
Cause it’s true
I’m yours and baby you’re mine

Lemons
Girl, when you walked in the door
You know I fell to the floor
Cause you swept me off my feet
I lay there looking at you
I didn’t know what to do
Thinking you were an angel
All of the guys in the bar
They want to know who you are
They want to to get you home girl
I want that look in your eyes
You’ve got me hypnotised
Just let me get to know you
My friends keep telling me: “You’re just like lemons baby”
Your love’s like lemons,
bitter like lemons
They’re just too blind to see,
love’s bittersweet like lemons
Your love’s like lemons,
Bitter like lemons
Baby look in your eyes
Your love’s like lemons,
Bitter like lemons
Then I realised, love’s bittersweet like lemons
Baby come over here
I guess it’s already clear, you got my full attention
Tell me all about you, and what you like to do
I’ll let you know my intentions
Girl come sit down with me,
Let everyone see that you’re my lady
We go for a ride in my car, we go to some place real far
And have a good time together
My friends keep telling me: “You’re just like lemons baby”
Your love’s like lemons,
bitter like lemons
They’re just too blind to see,
love’s bittersweet like lemons
Your love’s like lemons,
Bitter like lemons
Baby look in your eyes
Your love’s like lemons,
Bitter like lemons
Then I realised, love’s bittersweet like lemons

Gotta Feeling
Every time you walk away
Every time it feels the same It’s in my bloody brain
And so it’s happening again
I had the pain but not the gain It’s so hard to explain
So here we start all over again
The dice is loaded once again
Some may call it fate
So here we go again today
And still there’s nothing really change
It’s in my bloody brain
Gotta feeling and I know its rock ‘n’ roll It’s in my bloody soul
So the windows to your
Are now open evermore
Something to clear my thoughts
Now I see you couldn’t stop
You’ve taken everything I’ve got
Now there’s another war
Gotta feeling and I know its rock ‘n’ roll It’s in my bloody soul
Every time...
Gotta feeling and I know its rock ‘n’ roll It’s in my bloody soul

Evolution
She looks, you stare.
There are sparks, then flares
You talk, she smiles, as night goes by
And your hands they touch.
Here starts so much
The love that’s true between her and you
As night turns to day
Nothing stands in your way
Emotions running wild
Here starts a true love that’ll never die
It’s evolution, all these feelings we feel
It’s evolution, when your dreams become real
It’s evolution, when two people unite
It’s evolution, of our love tonight
The days we share turn to months, turn to years
Through sunshine, through the storms
We stand together through it all
And in hard times we’d meet the call
And yeah we stumble but we never fall
Face the fears, we killed the doubts
When we got angry we’d scream and shout
It’s evolution, all these feelings we feel
It’s evolution, when your dreams become real
Evolution, when two people unite
Evolution, of our love tonight
You found me down, you helped me up
But then I fell back underground
You’re whispering, I cannot hear
I feel I’m losing all I need
You read my mind and scream to me
You talk so loud I cannot hear
I’m wrong, it’s true, I fall too deep
And get up just to fall again
You picked me up when I was down
You took my life and you turned it around
You held my hand when I was weak
You got me back up on my feet

Where Nobody Goes
I want to have it
I want the world in the palm of my hands
I want to seal the deal
I want to make a hundred grand
I want to know for sure
I want to keep it all behind
I want to know for sure
I want to keep you satisfied
I want to fix this
I want to make it till the end of the night
I want to fight for it
I want to keep you satisfied
I want to know for sure
I want to keep it all behind
I want to know for sure
I want to keep you satisfied
I want to go where nobody goes
I want to know what nobody knows
I want to go where nobody goes
I want to love...
I want to hold you tight
I want to kiss every inch of your skin
Now my heart’s on fire
You know the end but not where it begins
I want to know for sure
I want to keep it all behind
I want to know for sure
I want to keep you satisfied
I want to go where nobody goes
I want to know what nobody knows
I want to go where nobody goes
I want to love...

Fun
Fun, fun, my religious son
Gun, gun, is the right you have won
You’re thinking having guns will make you strong
Deep inside you know something is wrong
But just for one split second
More than I can reckon
Sins I’ve beckoned
Waiting for this something but it’s all Fun Fun
Run, run, there is nowhere to hide
Cry, cry, when your children all die
“I know its hard for you to understand”
Said the maniac with the gun in his hand
But just for one split second
More than I can reckon
Sins I’ve beckoned
Waiting for this something but it’s all Fun Fun
Lie, lie, your constitutional abuse
Using freedom, your pathetic excuse
And even though that the end is nigh
You’re still wondering, “what gun should I buy?”
But just for one split second
More than I can reckon
Sins I’ve beckoned
Waiting for this something but it’s all Fun Fun

Falling
I’m here alone and you don’t hear me calling
It’s clear to see without you here I’m falling
Since you walked out there ain’t no doubt I miss you
To get you back please tell me what can I do
I’m falling
When you were here you made it clear you loved me
Now I sit alone and I wonder where you could be
I know you left town Cause I let you down. Forgive me
If you come back I’ll be the man I should be
I’m falling
I’m here alone and no one hears me calling
It’s clear to see without you here I’m falling
I’m falling
I’m here alone and you don’t hear me calling
It’s clear to see without you here I’m falling

Too Much Beer
I just woke up, it’s 9 a.m.
I’m running late for work again
Should be there, but I won’t arrive till ten
Last night I hit the town
We played some music, cracked some jokes
And later on we mingled with the crowd
We rocked the bar
Then we crashed some party that we found
we drank so much we were lying on the ground
Now I feel a mess
My tummy spins like a washing machine
When my boss comes in I have to look my best
Too much beer, that’s why I’m here
I have drunk too much beer
Too much beer, yeah it’s pretty clear
I have drunk too much beer
The night went great, oh what a laugh
But I’m sorry I stayed out late
yeah, I wish I didn’t feel this bad
My tummy turns, and my head’s so sore
Just like every other week
I promise me that I won’t drink no more
Too much beer, that’s why I’m here
I have drunk too much beer
Too much beer, now it’s pretty clear
I have drunk too much beer
Well I know you’re going to laugh
When I tell you that I lost my phone again
I guess I just keep leaving it down everywhere
And I still don’t know, how I made it home
Where are my keys?
