ADALIE Words and Music by
Steve Leslie © 2006

SHE USED TO WORK ON THE EAST SIDE
SHE SWEARS SHE NEVER TOOK IT ALL OFF
BUT WOULD IT MATTER ANYWAY
SHE’S ALWAYS SO INTIMIDATING
BUT I THINK SHE MIGHT JUST BE WAITING
FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME TO GET THE NERVE TO SAY

ADALIE HOW DO I GET TO YOU
ADALIE WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO BE KNOWN AS
THE ONLY ONE TO FINALLY
GET THROUGH TO ADALIE

SHE INVITES ME IN WITH A BIG SMILE
ARMS OPEN WIDE LIKE I’M GOING OUT OF STYLE
THEN SHE WINKS AND WALKS AWAY
SHE TURNS ME ON THEN SHE PULLS THE PLUG
AM I A FOOL TO BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE
WHEN I CAN’T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY

ADALIE HOW DO I GET TO YOU
ADALIE WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO BE KNOWN AS
THE ONLY ONE TO FINALLY
GET THROUGH TO ADALIE

JUST WHEN I THINK THAT I CAN WAIT FOREVER
SHE PUSHES ME AGAINST THE WALL AND SAYS
IT’S NOW OR NEVER NOW OR NEVER

ADALIE

SHE USED TO WORK ON THE EAST SIDE
SHE SWEARS SHE NEVER TOOK IT ALL OFF
IT WOULDN’T MATTER ANYWAY
SHE’S ALWAYS SO INTIMIDATING
TURNS OUT THAT SHE WAS JUST WAITING
FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME TO GET THE NERVE TO SAY

ADALIE HOW DO I GET TO YOU
ADALIE WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO BE KNOWN AS
THE ONLY ONE TO FINALLY
GET THROUGH TO ADALIE

ALL FALL DOWN Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2006

WOULD I BE OUT OF LINE TO HOLD YOU
CAN I PULL YOU IN CLOSER TO ME
FOR I GET THIS FEELING I KNOW YOU
AND YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST MIGHT AGREE

NO POINT IN WASTING THE HOURS
WE’VE BOTH BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE
BUT I STAND HERE BEFORE YOU A COWARD
I CAN’T FIND THE STRENGTH TO MOVE FORWARD

AND WE ALL FALL DOWN

CAN I TRUST YOU TELL ME WHAT’S INSIDE
WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT I’D LIKE TO HEAR
CAN WE LET ALL THE BAGGAGE GO WAYSIDE
AND STILL BE PROUD OF THE SCARS THAT WE BARE

I’VE WORKED IT OUT OVER AND OVER
PERFECTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE
BUT ALL OF THAT CRASHED THROUGH THE WINDOW
THE MOMENT YOU LOOKED RIGHT AT ME

AND WE ALL FALL DOWN

SO SICK OF PLAYING IT SAFE I MOVE TO THE EDGE
DON’T LOOK DOWN LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD, NOW I’M ON THE LEDGE
I SEE YOU WAITING AFRAID BUT ANTICIPATING
YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH

AND I WON’T DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS
AND I WON’T MAKE ANY DEMANDS
NO WAY TO TELL WHERE WE’RE HEADED
AND NOTHING GOES EVER AS PLANNED

CORE Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2006

WHAT IS YOUR CORE
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW IT FEELS
DOES IT MAKE SENSE AT ALL
ARE THERE MISSING PIECES TO THE PUZZLE WE CALL LIFE
CAN YOU HOLD IT IN YOU HANDS
CAN YOU MAKE ONE UP FROM SCRATCH
DOES IT MATTER ANYMORE

WHAT IS YOUR CORE WHAT IS IT MADE OF
IS IT STEEL OR IS IT BRITTLE FRAIL AND CRACKED
IS IT FULL OF LOVE OR HATRED, IS IT TOO LATE TO TURN BACK
WHAT IS YOUR CORE

WHEN IS ENOUGH
WHEN YOU’VE HAD ALL YOU CAN TAKE
WHEN A BEND BECOMES A BREAK
AND YOU REACH INSIDE AND PULL IT ALL TOGETHER FOR A WHILE
YOU SHUT THE DOORS AROUND YOU
BUT SOMEHOW STRENGTH WILL FIND YOU
AND YOU RISE UP FROM THE FLOOR
WHAT IS YOUR CORE

ARE YOU HAPPY, ARE YOU FRIGHTENED
ARE YOU LONELY, DO YOU GET EXCITED
DO YOU SHED A TEAR AS EVERY WAVE ROLLS IN AND EATS AWAY THE SHORE

WHAT IS YOUR CORE WHAT IS IT MADE OF
IS IT STEEL OR IS IT BRITTLE FRAIL AND CRACKED
IS IT FULL OF LOVE OR HATRED, IS IT TOO LATE TO TURN BACK
WHAT IS YOUR CORE

GET OUT Words and Music by
Steve Leslie © 2006

GET OUT GET OUT GET OVER IT
GET OUT GET OUT

YOU SAY YOU WERE NEVER HAPP[Y
I WON’T BE THE ONE TO ARGUE THAT
ALWAYS THE SAME COMPLAINING
AND BLAMING ME FOR ALL YOU LACK
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU SAID
WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE
AND NOW I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF TRYING

GET OUT GET OUT GET OVER IT
GET OUT GET OUT

AND NOW I’VE MADE UP MY MIND
AND YOU STILL CLAIM IT’S ALL MY FAULT
YOU THINK I OWE YOU SOMETHING
I THINK YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU’VE LOST
AND WHEN YOU’VE TAKEN ME FOR
EVERYTHING AND ALL IS SORTED OUT
I WILL STILL BE HAPPY AND YOU WILL STILL
BE MISERABLE

GET OUT GET OUT GET OVER IT
GET OUT GET OUT

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO I WAS WITH LAST
NIGHT
WELL I’M NOT SAYING BUT YOU CAN BET WE
DIDN’T FIGHT

GET OUT GET OUT GET OVER IT
GET OUT GET OUT

TAKE YOUR THINGS AND GO
I DON’T WANT YOU ROUND HERE ANYMORE

I HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONE SOMEDAY TO
MAKE YOU AS HAPPY AS YOU’RE MAKING ME
BY WALKING OUT THE DOOR

MORE THAN WE SEE
Words and Music by
Steve Leslie © 2006

EVERY MORNING SHE RUNS,
RUNS IN THE STREET
WORKS OUT HER PROBLEMS
TO THE RHYTHM SHE KEEPS
SHE FEARS THE LIFE THAT SHE’S WANTING
IS ALREADY OWNED
AND SHE CROSSES OVER HOUSTON AS
SHE MAKES HER WAY HOME

WE ALL WANT MORE,
MORE THAN WE’RE GIVEN
WE ALL HAVE MORE,
MORE THAN WE SEE

SHE TAKES A LONG SHOWER, IN THE
APARTMENT THAT’S PAID FOR
BY A MAN THAT STILL LOVES HER
THOUGH SHE LEFT HIM LONG AGO
AND SHE SAID SHE WAS TOO YOUNG,
WHEN SHE MADE UP HER MIND
THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE
SHE HAD TO FIND

(CHORUS)

SHE HAS HER OWN OFFICE, AND THE JOB
SHE’S ALWAYS WANTED
SHE STARES OUT THE WINDOW,
MAN WHAT A VIEW
AND SHE COUNTS ALL THE RED CARS,
ON THE STREET DOWN BELOW
ANYTHING TO MAKE THE DAY PASS,
WHY DOES IT SEEM SO SLOW

(CHORUS)

IN THE MORNING SHE’LL RUN,
RUN IN THE STREET
WORKING OUT HER PROBLEMS,
TO THE RHYTHM SHE KEEPS
THE DRIVER WON’T SEE HER,
AS HE SETS DOWN HIS PHONE
WHEN SHE CROSSES OVER HOUSTON,
ON HER WAY BACK HOME

ONE GROOVE
Words and Music by
Steve Leslie © 2006

LOOKING OUT FROM THE STAGE I SEE IT’S STANDING ROOM ONLY
ALL THE PRETTY LADIES LINED UP, LINE IT UP
I GET PAYED TO GROOVE AND I DON’T TAKE MY JOB LIGHTLY
SO IF YOU’VE GOT TO MOVE IT TURN IT UP, BURN IT UP
COME ON WITH ME YOU KNOW WE’LL BE

ONE GROOVE
EVERYBODY FALL IN LINE
ONE GROOVE
NOT ONE BEHIND THE OTHER BUT SIDE BY SIDE
ONE GROOVE
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER KEEPING
ONE GROOVE
AND IF YOU DO YOUR OWN THING IT JUST ADDS TO THE RHYTHM
OF ONE GROOVE

EVERYBODY MOVE IN TIGHT…JUST LEAVE ROOM FOR BREATHING
GROOVE YOUR BODY LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT, ALRIGHT
IT’S AN OPEN INVITATION SO WELCOME TO THE PARTY
IT JUST MAY BE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE
SO COME ON WITH ME YOU KNOW WE’LL BE

ONE GROOVE
EVERYBODY FALL IN LINE
ONE GROOVE
NOT ONE BEHIND THE OTHER BUT SIDE BY SIDE
ONE GROOVE
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER KEEPING
ONE GROOVE
AND IF YOU DO YOUR OWN THING IT JUST ADDS TO THE RHYTHM
OF ONE GROOVE

RAISE YOUR ARMS UP IN THE AIR
HOLD YOUR HANDS OUT, AND BRING ‘EM TOGETHER
RAISE YOUR ARMS UP, IN THE AIR
HOLD YOUR HANDS OUT, AND BRING ‘EM TOGETHER
DO IT ON THE ONE THIS TIME…THREEE…FOUR…

(CHORUS)X2

PASS IT AROUND
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2006

SADIE LEE BROWN DIED IN 1873
SHE GOT A FEVER THAT SHE JUST COULDN’T SHAKE
FROM THE LATEST DISEASE
SHE WOULD LAUGH ALL DAY
LET NOTHING EVER BRING HER DOWN
SHE’D SAY LAUGHTER IS THE WAY TO TRUE LOVE
SO PASS IT AROUND

LIVE A LITTLE, LOVE A LITTLE, GIVE A LITTLE, HUG A LITTLE
WE’RE NOT HERE THAT LONG, SO DON’T WASTE IT
DON’T WAIT IT’S GETTING LATE
DOESN’T PAY TO HESITATE
BABY LET ME SEE YOU SMILE

AND PASS IT AROUND (LET ME SEE THAT GRIN)
PASS IT AROUND (LET THE LOVE BEGIN)
PASS IT AROUND (BABY IT’S ALRIGHT)
PASS IT AROUND PASS IS AROUND

LOST MY JOB THIS MORNING AND THAT’S OKAY
MY CAR WON’T START SO I COULDN’T GO ANYWAY
BUT MY GUITARS IN TUNE IT’S SCREAMIN’ OUT A SWEET, SWEET SOUND
MAKES ME FEEL SO FINE THAT I JUST GOTTA PASS IT AROUND

(SOLO)

(CHORUS)

YOU GOT SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE, LET IT LOOSE LET IT FLY
ONLY YOU AND YOU ALONE CAN MAKE IT RIGHT
PUSH ASIDE THE PRESSURES THAT THIS WORLD CAN SURELY BRING
HOLD YOU HEAD UP HIGH BABY SING, SING, SING

SHE’S IN ME
Words and Music by
Steve Leslie © 2006

DARKNESS ALL AROUND I CAN BARELY BREATHE
SHE WALKS INTO THE ROOM, MOVES IN CLOSE TO ME
HAIR FALLING DOWN ALL AROUND HER FACE
SHE’S SO BEAUTIFUL NO ONE COULD REPLACE HOW

SHE MAKES ME FEEL SO ALIVE
LIKE I’M LEARNING HOW TO FEEL FOR THE FIRST TIIME

IT’S NOT ABOUT HOLDING HER
IT’S NOT IN THE TASTE OF HER KISS
IT’S NOT HOW SHE TOUCHES ME
OR THE WAY SHE MOVES HER HIPS
IT’S NOT PHYSICAL, OR CHEMICAL, OR LOGICAL
SHE’S IN ME

CHOICES I HAVE MADE PUT ME ON ANOTHER STAGE
IN ANOTHER TOWN
THESE HOTEL ROOMS THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME
I CALL HER ON THE PHONE TELL HER I WILL BE HOME SOON
SHE SAYS KNOCK ‘EM DEAD BABY
YOU KNOW I’M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU

SHE MAKES ME FEEL SO ALIVE
LIKE I’M LEARNING HOW TO FEEL FOR THE FIRST TIME

IT’S NOT ABOUT HOLDING HER
IT’S NOT IN THE TASTE OF HER KISS
IT’S NOT HOW SHE TOUCHES ME
OR THE WAY SHE MOVES HER HIPS
IT’S NOT PHYSICAL, OR CHEMICAL, OR LOGICAL
SHE’S IN ME

THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT
EVEN IF I WANTED TO
SHE IS MY WORLD SHE IS MY LIFE
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO WITHOUT

CHORUS X2

THE JERK SONG
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2006

I KNOW YOU WANT ME
I KNOW YOU NEED ME
WHY WON’T YOU TALK TO ME

WHEN WE’RE IN A ROOM TOGETHER
YOU ALWAYS LOOK THE OTHER WAY
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
YOU ALWAYS LOOK SO LONELY
I’D LIKE TO BE YOUR ONLY ONE
FOR AN HOUR OR TWO OF FUN

I KNOW YOU WANT ME
I KNOW YOU NEED ME
WHY WON’T YOU TALK TO ME

I LIKE THE WAY YOU ROLL YOUR EYES
AND I LOVE THE WAY YOU SIGHT
WHEN EVER I’M AROUND
AND YOUR BOYFRIEND’S OUT OF TOWN

YOU TELL YOUR FRIENDS THAT I’M A JERK,
STILL I THINK THAT IT COULD WORK
CAN I GIVE YOU A RIDE SOMEWHERE,
OR WE COULD PARK IT OVER THERE

I KNOW YOU WANT ME
I KNOW YOU NEED ME
WHY WON’T YOU TALK TO ME

WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR NUMBER
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MOVE
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COME OVER
WITH THE COPS HANGING OUTSIDE YOUR ROOM

I KNOW YOU WANT ME
I KNOW YOU NEED ME
WHY WON’T YOU TALK TO ME

I GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS NOW
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2006

WELL I REMEMBER YOU WAY BACK WHEN WE WERE HIGH SCHOOL
YOU USED TO LAUGH AT ME AND MAKE ME FEEL JUST LIKE A FOOL
WEREN’T YOU THE GIRL THAT THEY VOTED MOST LIKELY
YOU’RE STILL WHERE YOU WERE BUT I’VE LEFT IF ALL BEHIND ME NOW
IT’S KINDA FUNNY

YOU THINK THAT I SHOULD WANNA BE WITH YOU
DO EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
YOURE TALKING TO ME LIKE YOURE MY BEST FRIEND
AND WE SHOULD GET TOGETHER SOMEHOW

I GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS NOW
I GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS NOW
I GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS

WEREN’T YOU THE GUY THAT USED TO PUSH ME IN THE HALLWAY
ALWAYS MOUTHING OFF ALWAYS SOMETHING TO SAY
I SAW YOU CRUISIN IN YOUR TRICKED OUT MINI VAN
YOU STOPPED AND ASKED ME IF I STILL PLAYED IN A BAND NOW
IT’S KINDA FUNNY

YOU THINK THAT I SHOULD WANNA TALK TO YOU
LIKE I CARE ABOUT THE THINGS YOU DO
YOU’RE TALKING TO ME LIKE YOURE MY BEST FRIEND
AND EVERYTHING IS BETTER SOMEHOW

(CHORUS)

YOU USED TO NEVER WANNA HANG WITH ME
BUT WHO’D OF THOUGHT I’D WIN THE LOTTERY
YOU’RE TELLING EVERYBODY YOU KNOW ME
WHATS YOUR NAME AGAIN
I GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS NOW

I PLAY THE LOCAL BARS YOU THINK ITS SUCH A BIG DEAL
TRUTH IS IT COMES DOWN TO I’M SINGING FOR MY NEXT MEAL
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID I WAS A LOSER
SURE I’LL TAKE FRIES WITH THAT
BY THE WAY I LIKE YOUR PAPER HAT
IT’S KINDA FUNNY

YOU THINK THAT I SHOULD WANNA BE LIKE YOU
DO ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
AINT IT FUNNY HOW THE WORLD COMES ROUND
AND EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT SOMEHOW
ANOTHER DAY
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

IT’S JUST ANOTHER NIGHT OUT FOR YOU AND YOU’RE FRIENDS
I GET THE USUAL GLANCES AND YOU GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS
I STRUM A FEW CHORDS, ANOTHER SONG BEGINS

THERE’S A KID IN THE CORNER GUESS I GOT HIS ATTENTION
HE KEEPS STARING AT MY HANDS, MUST BE A MUSICIAN
THE BARTENDER SHE JUST NODS AND GIVES ME A GRIN

NOW DIANE SHE’S GONNA BE A DOCTOR SOMEDAY
SAYS SHE’S SERVING DRINKS FOR NOW SO SHE CAN PAY HER OWN WAY
SHE PUTS A DOLLAR IN A GLASS AND SETS IT DOWN NEXT TO ME
AND RICH IS AT A CORNER TABLE SITTING ALL ALONE
HE’S GOT HIMSELF A WOMAN BUT SHE’S TIED UP AT HOME
SAID SHE MIGHT COME AROUND AFTER HER HUSBAND’S ASLEEP

AND WE’RE ALL IN THE SAME SITUATION
YEAH AND EVERYTHING THAT’S COME BEFORE HAS LED US TO THIS PLACE
IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME SITUATION
WE WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY, MIDNIGHT CALLS AGAIN
ANOTHER DAY

THE NICEST GUY YOU’LL EVER MEET HE’S WATCHING THE DOOR
BUT IF YOU GET OUT OF LINE HE’LL PUT YOU RIGHT TO THE FLOOR
THAT HASN’T HAPPENED YET AND I DOUBT IT WILL TONIGHT

(CHORUS

ANOTHER DAY TO WALK TOGETHER
ANOTHER DAY TO WONDER WHAT’S IT ALL FOR
ANOTHER DAY TO TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
ANOTHER DAY TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING MORE

IT’S JUST ANOTHER NIGHT OUT FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS
I PACK UP MY GUITAR AND YOU GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS
AS YOU HEAD FOR THE DOOR ANOTHER DAY BEGINS

(CHORUS

MIDNIGHT CALLS AGAIN
YESTERDAY HAS ALL BEEN DONE
YEAH WITH EVERY MIDNIGHT COMES
ANOTHER DAY

CUT
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

I FEEL I’VE STUMBLED ONTO SOMETHING THAT YOU AND I BOTH NEED
IT’S NOT ABOUT FORGIVENESS THOUGH I’D LIKE TO LET IT BE
SAY YOU WON’T BE ALONE THIS EVENING BUT THAT DOESN’T BOTHER ME
SEE I’VE FORGOTTEN WHO’S TO BLAME FOR THIS
AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD IN MY LIFE, IT’S ALL GOOD IN MY LIFE
YOU’LL HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE YOU CAN STAND ON
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

YOU CAN CUT ME YOU CAN WOUND ME I’M ALRIGHT I’D JUST AS SOON BE
RIGHT HERE WHERE I AM, I LIVE WHERE I STAND
WHAT I DON’T NEED I GO WITHOUT IT
TRIP AND FALL AND LAUGH ABOUT IT
WIN OR LOOSE I STEAL A SMILE WHERE I CAN

YES I WILL WORK TO TRY AND PLEASE YOU AND KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED
BUT IF I DON’T AMUSE YOU, IF I COME ACROSS TOO PLAIN
I WILL READ IT IN YOUR MAGAZINES ANOTHER CRITIQUE SCORNED
BUT SLEEP WELL IN THAT GLASS OF YOURS CAUSE
EVERYTHING IS GOOD IN MY LIFE, IT’S ALL GOOD IN MY LIFE
YOU’LL HAVE TO FIND OSMEONE ELSE YOU CAN STAND ON TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

(CHORUS)

SO I’M THE TOPIC OF THE EVENING AND YOU’VE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY
YOU’VE TOLD EVERYONE I’VE EVER KNOWN IT’S BEST TO STAY AWAY
BUT THAT DOESN’T BOTHER ME! NO THAT DOESN’T BOTHER ME
AND I’M FLATTERED THAT YOU TRY SO HARD BUT EVERYTHING IS GOOD IN MY LIFE
YOU’LL HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE YOU CAN TEAR DOWN
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

(CHORUS)

ENERGY
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

YOU’RE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, LIFE GIVING SOURCE OF ENERGY
I COULD LIVE FOR DAYS JUST ON THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ME
AND I LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL JUST WALKING IN THE ROOM
TURNED MY WORLD AROUND WAS LOST I’M FOUND AND I OWE IT ALL TO YOU

YOU’RE MY ENERGY, YOU’RE MY DRUG
YOU’RE MY FANTASY, SO THIS IS LOVE

YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING TO HOPE FOR, LIVE FOR, YOU MAKE EVERY DAY
LIKE EIGHT STRAIGHT DAYS OF SUNSHINE BABY, WRAPPED UP AND COMING MY WAY
AND I LOVE THE TASTE OF YOUR SWEET KISSES, I CAN’T GET ENOUGH
DON’T NEED TO EAT, SLEEP, DRINK ATHING, JUST NEED MORE OF YOUR STUFF

(CHORUS)

AND NOW THE ONLY TIME THAT I FEEL THAT I CAN BREATHE
IS WITH YOUR ARMS AROUND ME, THAT’S THE ONLY TIME I’M FREE
AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU COULD EVER DO TO MAKE ME TURN AWAY
YOU ASK ME HOW I KEEP ON GOING THIS IS WHAT I SAY

(CHORUS)

FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001
YOUNG GIRL SITTIN’ ON A FRONT PORCH SWING
HER MAMA SAYS NOW BABY DON’T YOU WORRY ‘BOUT A THING
GET YOURSELF A MAN WITH A WHOLE LOTTA MONEY
AND THAT BLUE SKY ABOVE WILL ALWAYS BE SUNNY

JENNY GOT MARRIED JUST TO GET RICH
BUT WHEN THE OLD MAN DIED MAN SHE REALLY PITCHED A FIT
HE LEFT IT TO HIS SISTER, HE LEFT IT TO HIS FRIENDS
AND ALL HE LEFT JENNY WAS A GOLD FOUNTAIN PEN

THERE’S NO HEART IN THE SOUL OF THE GREEDY
WHO CARES ABOUT THE POOR, WHO CARES ABOUT THE NEEDY
GOD BLESSED AMERICAL THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY
BUT WE GIVE IT ALL UP FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY

TWO ROOM SHANTY AT THE EDGE OF THE WOODS
TWO YOUNG LOVERS JUST A GOT IT SO GOOD
NOT A PENNY IN THEIR POCKET NOT A CENT TO THEIR NAME
AIN’T GETTIN’ ANY BETTER BUT THEY’RE HAPPY JUST THE SAME

A WOMAN COMES A KNOCKIN’ SHE’S BUYIN’ UP DREAMS
SHE DRIVES A BIG CAR HAS A MANSION BY THE SEA
THERE’S A SMILE IN HIS EYES AS HE HEADS AWAY FROM HOME
NOW THERE’S TWO EMPTY ROOMS AND A WOMAN ALL ALONE

(CHORUS)

KEEP ON WORKIN’ EVERYDAY
GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO GET A GOOD PAY
FINANCIAL ADDICTION FOCUS OF ATTENTION
CAN’T QUIT NOW ‘CAUSE THEY’LL TAKE AWAY YOUR PENSION

WE’VE ALL GOT PRIDE WE’VE ALL GOT SPIRIT
YEAH EVERYBODY’S SPECIAL BUT HEY, I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT
CAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO LOVIN’ IT JUST AIN’T FUNNY
CAUSE WE GIVE IT ALL UP FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY

I KNOW HAPPINESS MONEY CAN’T BUY
BUT IF NOTHING ELSE WORKS THEN I GUESS IT’S WORTH A TRY
AND NOTHIN’ COMES FROM ANYTHING WITHOUT PAYING DUES
SO JUST KEEP IT IN PERSPECTIVE CAUSE THERE’S EVERYTHING TO LOSE

(CHORUS)

GONE
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

I GOT SOMETHING BETTER HAPPENING IT’S JUST A WAITING DOWNTOWN

AND YOU CAN TAKE IT PERSONNAL BABY CAUSE I’M LEAVING YOU BEHIND

YEAH I’M GONE, GONE, GONE YEAH I’M GONE, GONE, GONE

YOU’VE GOT TO BE THE PRETTIEST THING THESE EYES HAVE EVER SEEN
HOW WAS I TO KNOW YOU’LD LOOK SO GOOD AND BE SO MEAN…MEAN…MEAN

NOW YOU’RE BEGGING ME HEAVY FOR A LITTLE MORE TIME
BUT YOU KNOW THAT I CAN’T WAIT

YEAH I’M GONE OOO YEAH I’M GONE

YOU TELL ME JUST TO HOLD ON, YOU GOT A WAY TO MAKE IT BE ALRIGHT
WHERE’D IT ALL GO WRONG

YOU’RE CAMPING OUT ON MY FRONT LAWN
BUT I’M GONE

THOUGHT I’D FEEL THE PAIN WHEN I HEARD YOUR NAME BUT THAT’S ALL OVER NOW
DON’T YOU LAY YOUR GUILT UPON ME BABY WON’T LET YOU BRING ME DOWN
I’VE KNOWN FOR QUITE SOME TIME YOU’VE BEEN MESSING WITH MY MIND

IN YOUR FACE
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

IN MY LIFE THERE’VE BEEN COMPLICATIONS
AND HERE LATELY A FEW CONFRONTATIONS
CERTAIN PEOPLE THEY TRY TO BRING ME DOWN
THEY GIVE AN ARROGANT GRIN WHEN I COME AROUND
NOW I’M NOT PLAYING A GAME I CAN’T WIN
SO IF YOU’RE LOOKIN FOR TROUBLE YOU CAN COUNT ME IN

IN YOUR FACE, YOU KNOW YOU GOT IT COMIN
I’LL PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE AND THAT’S WHERE IT WILL END
BLOWIN’ UP IN YOUR FACE, I KNOW JUST WHERE I’M GOING
RIGHT UP IN YOUR FACE, YOU CAN COUNT ME IN

YOU’RE TALKIN TRASH GONNA GET YOU NOWHERE…. FAST
AND I’VE ALREADY TOLD YOU I CAN BE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE…THE LAST
THAT’S NOT A THREAT WELL IT’S A COLD HARD FACT
KEEP BOTH EYES OPEN YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK

YOU COWAR DOWN BEHIND THE SYSTEM
YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT HALF A MAN
YOUR KARMA’S BREWING IN HELLS KITCHEN
BUILDIN UP IN THE PALM OF MY HAND

IN YOUR FACE, YOU KNOW YOU GOT IT COMIN
I’LL PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE AND THAT’S WHERE IT WILL END
BLOWIN’ UP IN YOUR FACE, I KNOW JUST WHERE I’M GOING
RIGHT UP IN YOUR FACE, YOU CAN COUNT ME IN

MAKE TIME
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND MAKES ME TREMBLE
YOU GOTTA KEEP LOVIN ME LIKE YOU DO
KEEP ON TELLING ME THINGS THAT I WANT TO HEAR
CAUSE I KNOW GIRL YOU WILL FOLLOW THROUGH
I CAN’T GET BACK WHAT IS ALREADY GONE
BUT BABY I KNOW WHERE I BELONG

I’M GONNA MAKE TIME SPENDING IT ALL ON YOU
GONNA MAKE LOVE, THERE’S NOTHING THAT I’D RATHER DO
THAN LET THIS CRAZY WORLD UNRAVEL, UNWIND
AND I’M GONNA MAKE TIME

THE CLOCK ON THE WALL SHOWS NO MERCY
IT’S JUST REMINDING ME I’M RUNNING BEHIND
THE COULD’VE, WOULD’VE, SHOULD’VE KEEPS ON WEIGHING ON ME
AND I KNOW IT’S NOT WHAT YOU HAD IN MIND

THE YEARS THEY PASS BY LIKE A SWEET SUMMER SONG
DON’T WANNA LOOK BACK AND WONDER WHERE IT’S ALL GONE

I’M GONNA MAKE TIME SPENDING IT ALL ON YOU
GONNA MAKE LOVE, THERE’S NOTHING THAT I’D RATHER DO
THAN LET THIS CRAZY WORLD UNRAVEL, UNWIND
AND I’M GONNA MAKE TIME

TIME WILL MOVE ON WITHOUT YOU IF YOU LET IT, DON’T FORGET IT
GIVE A LITTLE LOVE EVERY DAY THAT YOU LIVE EVERY MINUTE

I’M GONNA MAKE TIME SPENDING IT ALL ON YOU
WE’RE GONNA MAKE LOVE, THERE’S NOTHING THAT I’D RATHER DO
THAN LET THIS CRAZY WORLD UNRAVEL, UNWIND
AND I’M GONNA MAKE TIME

MARY
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

THERE’S AN OLD MAN STANDING IN A DOORWAY
STARIN OUT AT THE RAIN
HE TRIES TO SINGLE OUT A DROP
BEFORE IT HITS THE GROUND AND GIVE IT A NAME

PROTECTED FROM THE WORLD BY A BROKEN SCREEN DOOR
HE THINKS OF ALL THAT HE FOUGHT FOR
THEN HE TURNS OUT THE LIGHT IN THE HALL
HE’D ALWAYS LEFT ON BEFORE

ARE YOU KNOCKIN’ MARY IS THAT YOU I HEAR OUTSIDE THE DOOR
ARE YOU KNOCKIN’ MARY I CAN’T TELL ANYMORE

THERE’S A CRUMPLED PIECE OF PAPER IN THE CORNER
BY THE NITESTAND, IT’S ALL COVERED WITH DUST
THERE’S A LITTLE TIN SOLDIER IN THE BACK YARD
IT’S BEGUN TO RUST

HE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE LETTER HAD MEANT
SHE ALWAYS SEEMED SO CONTENT
AND HE HADN’T FOUND THE LITTLE TIN SOLDIER
THE ONLY GIFT HE’D EVER SENT

(CHORUS)

THERE’S A HUNGER IN MY SOUL, A COLD DARK EMPTY HOLE
ONLY YOU CAN SATISFY
AND THOUGH I NEVER GAVE UP HOPE
I’M AT THE END OF THIS HERE ROPE
AND I JUST CAN’T HANG ON

THERE’S AN OLD MAN STARING AT THE CEILING
DOESN’T FEEL ANY PAIN
FOUGHT A BATTLE FOR FREEDOM AND HEADED BACK HOME
HE’D ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE’D WAIT

THEY FOUND HIM THAT MORNIN’ STILL STARING AT THE CEILING
THOUGH HIS HEART WAS STILL
PIECE OF PAPER IN HIS HAND AND A LITTLE TIN SOLDIER
LEANING UP AGAINST THE WINDOW SILL

(CHORUS)

ANGEL
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

YOU ALWAYS SAID YOU’D BE FAMOUS
THEY’D ALL KNOW YOUR NAME
BUT I DON’T THINK YOU KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT
SO MUCH TIME WORKIN FOR SOMETHING YOU COULDN’T HOLD
WITH WHAT’S LEFT OF A LIFE THAT’S BEEN SPENT

YOU KEEP ON BELIEVIN THAT THE NEXT TIME AROUND
IS THE TIME THATYOU WILL BE FOUND
BUT NO ONE WAS LOOKIN’
HOW COULD THEY KNOW THAT THEY WERE
MISSIN OUT ON THE BEST THING IN TOWN

BECAUSE YOU SING LIKE AN ANGEL YOU LOOK LIKE ONE TOO
NEVER SEEM TO GET ANY OLDER BABY IN MY MEMORIES OF YOU
YOU DREAM THE SAME DREAM LONG ENOUGH
IT JUST MIGHT COME TRUE
YOU SING LIKE AND ANGEL, YOU LOOK LIKE ONE TOO

HOLD THE CANDLE IN THE MIDDLE AND LET IT DRIP FROM BOTH ENDS
AND SOONER OR LATER YOU’RE BURNT
SO TIRED OF BEING HELD DOWN STILL YOU GET UP AND DO IT AGAIN
TILL IT’S HARD TO TELL THE PAIN FROM THE HURT
EVERY DAY HAS A SUNSET EVERY SPRING LEAVES TO FALL
BUT YOU COULDN’T WAIT QUITE THAT LONG
WHEN NO ONE WAS LOOKIN YOU TURNED AND WALKED AWAY
FROM IT ALL AND I CAN STILL HEAR YOUR SONG

(CHORUS)

I ALWAYS KNEW YOU’D BE FAMOUS THEY’D ALL KNOW YOUR NAME
AND NOW IT SEEMS IT ALL HAPPENED TOO SOON
I STILL HAVE THE PICTURE FROM THE PAPER THAT DAY
WHEN THEY SAID YOU WERE FOUND IN YOUR ROOM

(CHORUS)

THIS IS ME
Words and Music by Steve Leslie © 2001

IF I NEVER SAID ANOTHER WORD WOULD YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
AND IF I STOOD UP AGAINST MY REFLECTION COULD YOU TELL WHICH WAS REAL
OR WOULD YOU WALK AWAY REFUSING TO BELIEVE
YOU SIMPLY NEVER WANTED TO SEE
OR WERE YOU JUST FRIGHTENED OF WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND THERE

WELL THIS IS ME, IT’S SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU
FEEL FREE TO SPEAK YOUR MIND
THIS IS ME AND ALTHOUGH I’VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE
YOU’VE NEVER TAKEN TIME OUT TO SEE

DID YOU THINK THAT I WOULD LIE DOWN FOREVER OR DID YOU REALLY CARE
AND IF I TOLD YOU JUST WHAT I WAS HERE FOR WOULD YOU JUST STAND AND STARE
AFRAID TO MAKE A SOUND, REFUSING TO BELIEVE
ARE YOU NOT WANTING TO SEE
OR ARE YOU JUST FRIGHTENED OF WHAT YOU MIND FIND THERE

WELL THIS IS ME, IT’S SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU
FEEL FREE TO SPEAK YOUR MIND
THIS IS ME AND ALTHOUGH I’VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE
YOU’VE NEVER TAKEN TIME OUT TO SEE

PLEASE DON’T TURN AWAY I’VE FINALLY MADE IT HOME
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ALONE
WE DON’T HAVE TO BE STRANGERS ANYMORE, STRANGERS ANYMORE

WELL THIS IS ME, IT’S SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU
FEEL FREE TO SPEAK YOUR MIND
THIS IS ME AND ALTHOUGH I’VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE
YOU’VE NEVER TAKEN TIME OUT TO SEE
