The Storm
03:37
|

|
I drove my truck through a howling gale.
Scared me to death when the lightning struck.
I've got 500 miles to go.
Before I see my home again.
There is a photo in my cab.
Three smiling faces wait for me.
To be with them again be sure,
I'd drive this beast through the gates of hell.
Storm! You'll never beat me down.
Storm! I'm stronger than you think.
Storm! I'm gonna make it through.
Storm! You'll never beat me down.
The road is slick and the sky is dark.
I feel the wind try to turn my truck.
There is no way I'll lose this rig.
My hand is firm and my mind is sharp.
The road was long but the end's in sight
My truck rolls on as the storm grows weak.
I see the glow of dawn ahead.
For sure, I know I'll win this fight.
Storm! You didn't beat me down.
I was stronger than you thought.
Storm! See how I made it through.
Storm! You never beat me down.

Chorus:
Where have the rainbows gone
Away
Away
Away
:
Why are we far apart
How did we drift away
I lie awake at night
Still wishing you were here with me
Chorus:
:
Where has the laughter gone
Away
Away
Away
Echos are all I hear
In this sad heart of mine
You know, I love you still
No-body else could take your place
Chorus x 2:
:
Are you alone like me
Silently hurting too
If you came back today
I'd never let you go again

Christmas is gone and I'm overweight,
the turkey was stuffed, so was I.
I shuffle around in a dressing gown,
my trousers don't fit anymore.
Chorus:
I promise you,
I promise you,
I'll never do it again.
I promise you,
I promise you,
I'll never do it again.
:
The prezzies are scattered all over the place,
the wrappings are up to my waist.
The house is a tip, I can't see the floor,
oh, where is the TV remote.
Chorus:
:
The kids are all screaming, The wife's in a sulk,
the dog ran away with the cat.
There's bills to pay, and there's work to do,
and I'm still hung over real bad.
Chorus x 2:
:
Until next year, that is.

I know a song that will get on your nerves,
Get on your nerves,
Get on your nerves.
I know a song that will get on your nerves,
All day long.
This little Song's gonna get you down,
Get you down,
Get you down.
This little Song's gonna get you down,
All day long.
I bet you can't stop singin' this song,
Singin' this song,
Singin' this song.
I bet you can't stop singin' this song,
All day long.

Don't jump off the roof Mark,
(that's what we said to the bard).
Scoops has asked for some tunes, Mark,
the playing and mixing is hard.
If you don't like our scratchings,
and find them a bit of a pain.
Scoops says the rules are quite clear Mark,
and won't let us post them again.
Don't jump off the roof Mark,
there's so much more you must do.
When we've all had our say Mark,
the ditties you'll have to review.
If you lasted 5 years mate,
this months quest will seem but a day.
But cross us, and see how we bark Mark,
You'll wish you were way back in May!

Chorus:
Way-ho away we go.
Down to the cafe, gonna be a great show.
Way ho, away we go.
If you get it all wrong, sure, no one will know.
:
Now Scoops is the cap'n and he runs a tight ship.
There ain't no messin' and there ain't no lip.
If you break the rules then expect a hit.
It's the boot for you, so better not slip.
Chorus:
:
We've songs in all, genres you can bet.
Some of which haven't, been invented yet!
If you listen carefully I'm sure you can get.
Our plan to take over, all the Internet.
Chorus:
:
There's Markleford, Barnardine and Rachmiel.
Old stalwarts of the scene, along with VicDiesel.
You thought I couldn't rhyme that but I've news to tell.
I'm the wordsmith of the devil {pause} comming from hell.

Closer Than The Dance
02:41
|
|||
|
You and I we used to dance
In the days before romance
Young hearts never took the chance
To get closer than the dance
Then came love with all its fears
And my nights of endless tears
Nights I'd wonder when or where
You might once again be near
You and I have one more dance
Perhaps in England or in France
Wiser hearts should take a chance
And get closer than the dance
Repeat last verse

All Of My Sunrises
03:18
|
|||
|
All of my sunrises are shades of grey,
Now that I'm on my own.
There's no laughter,
No joy now,
You left me behind.
Gone where I can not say.
So all of my sunrises are shades of gray,
Now that you've gone away.
All of my sunrises are shades of grey,
You were the only one.
In our springtime,
We'd run through,
The meadows and streams.
Oh how we loved to play.
Now all of my sunrises are shades of grey,
The meadows have all turned to clay.
All of my sunrises are shades of grey.
We loved each other so.
We were honest,
And faithful,
Through trials and pain.
Though we were poor, we stayed.
But all of my sunrises are shades of gray,
No riches would help me today.
All of my sunrises are shades of grey,
I said goodbye in tears.
Though our children,
Are with me,
I know they must go.
They have their own lives too.
So all of my sunrises are shades of grey,
There's nothing for me, without you.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive God to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
