1.Dismal Day
I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that I had not been able to see
I saw someone that I'm not sure I want to be
An empty lonely face was starin' back at me
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
The afternoon was slow in coming
I drug myself outside the people that I knew would be there
And though they walked along pretending not to care
I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare
CHORUS
And now the evening shadow's falling
I guess it's best I lay my hopes to rest for noone's calling my
name
I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
CHORUS
2.London Bridge
I know the times the times are hard to bear
It's hard to find someone to really care
But before I went down and out
Here's what I used to think about, think about:
London Bridge is always fallin' down,
But there it stood within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
The changes taking place are everywhere
The centuries past have nothing to compare
Where they stand, where they trip and fall
Watch the writing on the wall, on the wall
London Bridge is fallin' down at last,
And so another memory of the past
Has fell beneath the blade, but soon the dead may be repaid
I know things just can't evolve for all eternity
The thoughts will leave, will never die, and now so you can see
London Bridge is finally fallin' down,
It packed it up and shipped it outta town
And though the horror's gone, the memory will linger on
London Bridge is finally fallin' down,
It used to stand within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
London Bridge is finally fallin' down.....
3.Could I
Lyrics:James Griffin/Robb Royer
Music:James Griffin/Robb Royer
I could I could keep you company could
I could I could keep you so happy can
I can I can I make you feel really fine
We could we could we make love this time
We could we could we make love so fine
You e old enough to know from where we
Come and where we go.
And what we e here for
What do you fear for
It hard enough to hear the though in mind
That now you e there
And then you e gone
Let get in
(Repeat first verse)
You e never really tried let yourself be satisfied
Now don deny it
Until you try it
You e played the game so long
You think that life goes on and on
You better use it
Before you lose it.
4.Look At Me
Lyrics:David Gates
Music:David Gates
I'm driftin' down the street
Asking of all I meet
Don't you know me from somewhere
Hazel eyes and curly hair
Have you seen me anywhere
Look at me
I'm blending into the wall
And I wonder if I'm really here at all
Time goes by
So do I
But no one blinks an eye
Mirrors aren't reflecting me
Laws aren't protecting
And no one's expecting me
On the edge
I feel like I'm going to fall
And I wonder if I'll never land at well
Loneliness comes and stays
Torturing nights and days
People stare but cannot speak
Hearts are strong
But tongues are weak
Maybe all our minds are meek
Look at me
I'm fading into the floor
And wonder if I'm living anymore.
5.The Last Time
Hey, didn't you believe me when I told you I was leavin'?
Well, wait a little while and soon you will be believin'
I'm tellin' you now like I told you before
That love has got to be somethin' more
Than a pasttime, this is the last time
This is the last time that I will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, I've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
Well, didn't you believe it when I said you don't know how to
love me?
You, you never understood that you weren't so high above me
I didn't realize 'til a moment ago
That time doesn't really go this slow
And it's past time, this is the last time
CHORUS
Whatcha gonna do when nights are gettin' colder, baby?
Where ya gonna go, you know you're gettin' older, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to be a little bolder, baby
Whatcha gonna do to satisfy your hunger, baby?
Oh, don't it seem that everyone's a-gettin' younger, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to find yourself another past time
Judgin' from the past, I know it won't be the last time
CHORUS
6.Anyway You Want Me
Take me anyway you want me
'Cause I need your love to see me through
You can make me anyway you want me
That's all that I can offer you
I have tried so hard to please you
But I just can't seem to reach you
Tried, tried a little kindness
Every night and day like I knew I should
But you can take me, yes and you can leave me
But I always stayed, and you knew I would
Come on, come on closer now
I will get to you somehow
Come on, come on closer now
I will get to you somehow
But you got to show me how
Please, please baby, please
Please, baby show me the way to your heart
You got to take me anyway you want me
Or take me just, just the way I am
Take me, or you can make me
7.Move Over
Lyrics:James Griffin
Music:James Griffin
Move over
Move over
Let the man in
Move over
Look out you'll let the man of sin in
He may tell you what be think of you
Not by his words but by the things be 'll do
Move over
Move over
Let be man come in
Move over
Move over
Let his love come into your heart
You may think you're 'bout to be abused
Yeah, but then again you just might be amused
Move over
Move over baby
You're too far over
Move over baby
You may think that he's a friend in need
But I've heard it said that he's a friend indeed
Move over
Move over baby
You're got to move ever if you want his love
Shine into your heart.
8.Don't Shut Me Out
Lyrics:David Gates
Music:David Gates
Don't shut me out, shut me out, out of your life
Don't shut the door, shut the door , door on my life
You been lockin' apart of your love away
You been holdin'out on me
I just wanna get down deep inside of you
So that I can set you free
Don't shut me out, shut me out, out of your mind
Don't be afraid, be afraid, 'fraid of what I might find
I would never be judge you for what you are
You can say what's in your heart
It's the things that you're hidin' that bother me
And it's keeping us apart so
If you really love me like you like to say you
Really do
Gotta open up and let the rest of you come
Shinin' through
Don't shut me out, shut me out of your life
Don't lock the door, lock the door , door on my life
Such a beautiful thing we could come to know
If you'll only trust in me
I just wanna get down deep inside of you
So that I can set you free and
Turn you loose so you can see, so
Don't shut me out, shut me out , out of your life and
Don't shut the door , shut the door, door on your
Sweet, sweet, yeah
Don't be afraid, be afraid , 'fraid of what I might find, no
Don't lock the door, lock the door, door on your
Sweet, sweet mind.
9.You Can't Measure The Cost
Lyrics:David Gates
Music:David Gates
The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize
And finally blind me
The downy softness of herself forever lingering
Behind me
Never ever has there been
Nor will ever be again
One someone to give you love, tenderness and be
Your friend
Hanging on 'till the bitter end
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need.
I've tried to look inside myself
To find the strength from which to draw from
The view she saw from.
Since she tried to go too deep
Limitations brought her down
And though I'd like to free her mind
Visitations bring a frown
I gotta find the place she found
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there.
Where she is no one seems to know
The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems.
The morning mist that melts upon the meadow
Brings a touch of sorrow
The one I kissed is all alone
And may or may not know tomorrow.
Just an ordinary girl
To the ordinary eye
But so much deeper goes the vein
Like the glittering of gold you want to touch
Then you gotta hold
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost.
10.Family Doctor
Lyrics:James Griffin/Robb Royer
Music:James Griffin/Robb Royer
Went to my family doctor
For a pain inside my head
Told him that since you left me
I was feelin' like just about dead
Doctor, what can you give me
And should I take one or two
Can you tell me just what it's gonna do
Will it save me from what I'm goin' through
Will it ease the pain
Will it ease the pain
Will it help to pacify my brain
He told me not to worry
He said to come back next week
He asked me for a picture
Of the girl who made me lose my sleep
Well, all week long I suffered
Didn't know what to do
But went back to him when the week was
Through
And he gave me an artificial you
And it eased the pain
Yes, it eased the pain
It completely satisfied my brain.
11.It Don't Matter To Me
It don't matter to me
If you really feel that
You need sometime to be free
Time to go out searching for yourself
Hoping to find time to go to find
And it don't matter to me
If you take up with someone
Who's better than me
'Cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind
Lotta people have an ego hang-up
'Cause they want to be the only one
How many came before it really doesn't matter
Just as long as you're the last
Everybody's moving on and try to find out
What's been missing in the past
And it don't matter to me
If your searching brings you back together with me
'Cause there'll always be
An empty room waiting for you
An open heart waiting for you
Time is on my side
'Cause it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me....
12.Friends And Lovers
Written:James Griffin/Robb Royer/Tim Halliman
Friends and lovers
Saying goodbye to each other
Their way
Your way
Gathered in garden and parting in doorways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the papers said.
And I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there
I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Friends and lovers
Turning away from the others
Your way
Their way
Closing their doors and then climbing their
Stairways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the people say and I wonder
Does it really have to be this way
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you.
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you.
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Or did you stand alone until the darkness came
Just one more room where everybody knew
Your name.
Friends and lovers
Ever apart from others
Endless hallways
Just say goodbye and it's over for always
And it's over
Didn't you believe me when I said and I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
