LITTLE MISS BRANDYWINE
Ohhh come on Brandy
Ain’t looking for a lover to hold my hand
I ain’t got no time for a dead end line
I hope you understand
So tell me brother where I might find
A little bit of bother I can get for a dollar
I’ll pay her for her time
Chorus
Can you read my mind? It ain’t no crime
She got what you’re after, If she ain’t doing time
You gotta knock on the door of number nine
Then you’ll find what you’re looking for
in Little Miss Brandywine
I don’t need a princess to walk down the aisle
I just want a honey with her mind on the money
And a little bit more style
I don’t need a model, but it’s alright
She’s a pretty good looker, not bad for a hooker
And she’ll keep you up all night
Chorus It ain’t no crime
Little Miss Brandywine
Little Miss Brandywine
Oooh Little Miss Brandywine
Where did I put my conscience? I’m alone
It don’t right shotgun when I go out
I keep it back at home
Don’t tell my mother
That I bump and grind
With a bad little chick who’s turnin’ tricks
And helping me unwind
If you got her number and you got the time
It ain’t no crime
Let me put you in the picture
Let me lay it on the line
You gotta knock on the door of number nine
Then you’ll find what you’re looking for
in Little Miss Brandywine
Little Miss Brandywine
Little Miss Brandywine
No no no visible panty line
Ohhh come on Brandy

Anytime

ANYTIME
So many times, so many questions
The answers are all written here in me
Another day, or dimension
Happenstance is easier to see
Circumstantial quantifier
The only role to play
Divine design or my desire
Which is easier to say?
Is there a reckoning of nature?
Or a river that runs dry?
You’d better warm me up and freak me out
To get my spirit high
Oh I hear a boom you give a sigh
And fire that catapult up high
Ohh Anytime
Innocent words, from a stranger
Violent thoughts are all that you have
Another drink, another danger
Another fight wouldn’t really be that bad
Observational annoyance
The only food from your eyes
Is it conscience? Is it karma
That takes you by surprise
But the only words you conjure
All that you can say
Is who the hell do you think you are
Get the fuck out of my way
Over the room the devil’s eye
I speak the truth you live a lie
Ohh Anytime
Standing steady, like a boxer
Waiting for the bell to tell you now
Well prepared. oh but full of anger
The Reverend never ever tells you how
Is the consequence of knowledge
to fear for your life?
Is it arrogance or virtue
that leads you to the knife?
Performance never ending
Reality unsure
So many times so many questions
I’ll give three for four
Oh I’ll be a fool for the life
I’ll pay a billion for your wife
Ohh Anytime

Walking with my Shadow

WALKING WITH MY SHADOW
Am I waking up slowly?
An open eye to the light
I got no one there to hold me
I reach my hand out to the night
In my memories of the future
I can hear a young man say
Something good will happen to ya
Maybe tomorrow, never today
I hear a whisper from an angel
She’ll never let me go
But I can’t find love, I’m a stranger
So I guess I’ll keep on
Walking with my shadow
Just a walking with my shadow
Behind your eyes is there a motion?
Does it ever make you sad?
You give your heart, you give devotion
I give it everything I have
To shout quietly forever
Is that my only voice?
Can I keep it all together?
Do I really have a choice?
I hear a whisper from an angel
She never tells me no
Still I can’t find love, I’m a stranger
So I guess I’ll keep on
Walking with my shadow
Just a walking with my shadow
Sometimes it seems like forever
Gotta hold out so strong
I heard her promise
She said she won’t be long
I hear footsteps in the morning
Gentle fingers on my face
Then I wake up I was dreaming
I’d rather sleep; it’s a better place
I wanna drink a cup of laughter
I wanna breathe in a kiss
I wanna love forever after
I want something I can miss
The pretty face of my angel
She’s out there I know
How can she love me? I’m a stranger
So I guess I’ll keep on
Walking with my shadow

Wiser Man

WISER MAN
A wise man once told me
Something you must understand
Only fight when you have to
Walk away if you can
A wise man once told me
Put your heart in the shake of your hand
When you look in the mirror
Where a young man used to be
He’s growing tired and growing old now
Couldn’t possibly be me
We all go through changes
When I was young I couldn’t see
Looking back from the mirror
The wise man could be me
A young man once told me
Unless you’ve arms made of stone
Keep an eye on your shoulder
Don’t go walking alone
A young man once told me
It’s the only life he’s ever known
When you walk through the people
All that you’ll find
Is broken hearts and broken promises
And the lies that make us blind
We all go through changes
When I was young I couldn’t see
Looking back from the mirror
The wise man could be me
An old man once told me
To be wise you have to know
That the quest is never ending
It’s where you start that really shows
An old man once told me
So little time and so far yet to go
The wise man he listens
While the young man he shouts
The old man sits smiling
As the pain is coming out
We all go through changes
When I was young I couldn’t see
Looking back from the mirror (x3)
The wise man could be me
Oh to be a wiser man
Does anybody understand?
Don’t know if you can
Could be me

Get Down With A Kiss

GET DOWN WITH A KISS
Well I’m down in the house of Rock and Roll
‘Cause that’s where I wanna be
And I’m choosing my position in my mission carefully
Well I’m tired and sick of the same old shit
playing on my radio
Gonna find me a club that makes me tick
And that’s where I’ll start the show
Gotta introduce some dancing juice
you can’t find at the bar
And if you’re down here on the floor
then stay right where you are
‘Cause passion in the music is what I really miss
Chorus
You can dance to the beat
You can move your feet
You can get out of your seat
And get down with a kiss
Get down with a kiss
Well the party’s a rollin’ and I’m controllin’
this damn fine guitar
Made in an age where on the stage yeah
you could be a star
Turn back the page and you might find where
rock and Roll went crash
‘Cause they take your mind and your music
Twist and confuse it
Then make lots of cash
Gotta introduce some dancing juice
In between the chords
And if you’re down here on the floor
Then you’re hammering out the swords
‘Cause people in the music is what I really miss
Chorus
Well the people are movin’ ain’t no illusion
Try hard not to smile
Winkin’ and huggin’ laughin’ and lovin’
Every one a lifeophile
Mind with the melody, feet with the drums
That’s what we’re all here for
Ain’t no one tirin’ just sweetly perspirin’
Always wanting more
So take a look around you
At the life between these walls
‘Cause they took the bands and the fans
And the clubs and the pubs
And the doors to the dancing halls
Ain’t no lovin’ in the music
That’s what I really miss
Chorus

Haunted Heart

HAUNTED HEART
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and it hurts deep down inside
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and it’s wounding my pride
So I say take me away from this old bad love of mine
‘Cause it keeps on coming back to haunt me baby every time
I try not to think of it but no matter what I do
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and it’s haunted by you
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and it’s driving me insane
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and my soul is in chains
So I say please release me from the cage I’m still inside
And you can wipe away those cold, cold tears you cried
‘Cause I know that you ain’t sorry
For all this pain you put me through
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and it’s haunted by you
Ohh yes it is now, baby
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and it hurts oh just too much
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and it’s too painful to touch
I’ve got a haunted heart and there’s nothing I can do
I’ve got a haunted heart babe and it’s haunted by you
I know you saw me crying babe like so many times before
So I’m begging you, darlin’ to please let me be babe
Haunt me no more
Haunt me no more
No, no more
No, no more

Lullaby

LULLABY
To play and to sing is a beautiful thing
To love and to cherish divine
Sometimes it goes through me
it often eludes me
Peace can be so hard to find
In a moment of silence
When time’s standing still
I can’t change the past
For the chance I would kill
I hear words unspoken
They keep me from crying until
Chorus
I think of the day that the wind blew away
My sole inspiration, the music I play
I know that she’s watching and listening to me
I hope she don’t mind what I turned out to be
Though I’m in the picture, I can’t remember, I try
So the sound, yes the sound
So the sound of a soft lullaby brings a tear to my eye
A tear is so small, it wells then it falls
Always a story to tell
A drop in the ocean for a heart that’s been broken
And no one can see where it fell
In a moment of virtue, when spirits all rise
I can conjure a smile
Reach my hand to the skies
But still there’s a seat that’s not taken
Right by my side
Chorus
Laughter and pride, they live deep inside
No one controls them but you
They can burst at the seams and make real your dreams
Then all of your wishes come true
In a moment of reason, a knock on the door
Standing there waiting a heart soft and pure
She gave me my music
How could I ask her for more?
Chorus
So the sound
Yes the sound
Oh the sound
Oh the sound
So the sound of a soft lullaby brings a tear to my eye

Master of the Night

MASTER OF THE NIGHT
I’m on fire, are you near me?
Feel the heat as I pass you by
On the street you won’t see me
I’m the demon that lights up the sky
I’m the enemy found when good turns to bad
Feet on the ground I’m the best that you’ve had
Don’t turn around you don’t wanna make me mad
Now I’ve got something for you
But I keep it outta sight
Always remember I see what you do
There ain’t no way your lies are getting through
I’m the one who keeps it tight
I’m the Master of the Night
What’s my game? Can you play me?
Oh the glint will disappear from your eye
What’s my name? Do you know me?
Smile and then I’ll make you cry
Day turns to night it rattles my cage
Spoil for a fight, I’m there centre stage
Don’t look behind you
Master will turn back the page
Now here’s a lesson for you
Trouble comes in black and white
If you understood I would let you go
The Wiser Man will always steal the show
‘Cos he knows he gets it right
He’s the Master of the Night
Are you listening to me?
Let it out and touch the light tonight
Open your eyes to see what could be
One last chance to catch me in full flight
Now here’s a question for you
Do you live in life’s twilight?
Dumb down your hand and you’ll turn out fine
Question the future if you’ve got the time
Are you listening to me? Do you listen to me?
I think you do but just not quite
I’m the Master of the Night

MISTER MEANDER
Mister Meander, don’t you wander
Don’t drift your life away
Don’t let it be the price you pay
Mister Meander’s going under
There’s nothing left to say
Just dry your eyes and walk away
Mister Meander’s been looking
for something to believe in
This is something I’m sure
But he don’t know what he’s looking for
Mister Meander stop searching for nothing
You’re leaving your chances behind
How could you be so blind?
Ohh, Mister Meander, he’s a lover
He’s an angel undercover
He’s just trying to be a man
Mister Meander, he’s your brother
Means no harm to any other
Some people don’t understand..no!
Mister Meander, do you wonder
If love will find a way
To dry your eyes and make you stay?
Keep on searching for another
Whose smile won’t fade away
And in whose peaceful arms you’ll lay
Mister Meander, you’ll find
out if you take some time out
And cry another day
Just let it all fade away
Mister Meander, you lover
you hero, you brother
Don’t drown in your dismay
Time’s your friend
So don’t ever stray
Don’t ever stray (x3)
