"Don't Want Your Best Friend"

"Don't Want Your Best Friend"


She's got her independence in a hard fast way
She's got me chasing shadows with everything I try to say
Some say she's far too quick, some say she's slow to learn
But all I know is she gave me love that left afterburn
And its fire feeds me I'm hungry still
So baby listen now, I'm at your will
But I'm not a flower on your windowsill

Don't want your best friend
Don't need a Godsend
Don't want your new trends
I want you

She's got a silver sabre with a diamond shine
It's not an ego-trip just her frightened way
To keep you blind
Shadow dancing, nowhere fast
You got to meet me half way
Girl if it's gonna last

I remember that first night
I dream of it still
I want that feeling and I want that thrill
I've always loved you and I always will
Take me home

"Dove Il Signore?"

"Dove Il Signore?"


Dov'e il Signore
Qui e il Signore
Dov' e quell'o
Che porta a la pache
Che dah la luce
Che dah il giorno
Ecco lui porta il dolore
Eche lo porta via
Dov' e il Signore
Qui il Signore

Where is the Lord
Who is the Lord
Where is that
Where is he who brings his peace
Who give the light
Who give the day
Who is he who brings his pain
Who takes away the pain
Where is the Lord
Who is the Lord

"Dove Il Signore? (Part Two)"

"Dove Il Signore? (Part Two)"


Dimme figlio mio
Costa stai cercando
Cosa speri di trovare
Dietro la porto
Una ragione per vivere
Una ragione per essere
Per stare al posto mio
Essenti ri cho que verdo
El tute il tempo
Da Dov'e sono hio
Tu tocho que poso verdene se de
Dov'e il Signore
Qui e il Signore

Tell me my son
What are you looking for
What do you expect to find
On the other side of the door
A reason to live a reason to be
To stand in my shoes
And see what I see
When all the time
From where I stand
All I see is you
Where is the Lord
Who is the Lord

"E"

"E"


E is for the comfort,
You give to me
E is for the peace, I feel inside
E is for the good times
That go against the bad times
E is for the world you gave us
And left us here behind

They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it

E is for the reason
To live through urban grey
E is for the warm glow,
That takes the fear away

Show us what is better
Why don't you stand inside
these shoes
Oh live with me each Monday...
Let's see what you would do...

Which world do you live in?
Which world did you choose?
Hiding the tears, that's all
No win
No lose

They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it

"Easy Rider"

"Easy Rider"


Well now come on easy rider
Give me something
For my pain
Well now come on easy rider
Though I know you're not to blame

The dogs are out to get me
And pull me down, again

Well now come on easy rider
Turn this screaming fire
Down low
Yeah come on easy rider
Pull this pain
And let it go

This time around
Don't think that I can take it
This twisting pain
I've come to know
Easy rider
Help me
Easy rider

"Electric Guitar"

"Electric Guitar"


Got me an electric guitar
Don't she look so pretty
I got me an electric guitar
Oh don't she look so pretty
I bought her in a small town
I'm gonna take her to the city

I got me a box with a with a speaker
I'm gonna make that baby sing
I got me a box with a with a speaker
I'm gonna make that baby sing
I'm gonna find me a future
Somewhere between these strings

Every song about a railroad track
Every song about not coming back
We'll be together, no matter how far
You and me and my electric guitar

When I turn that plastic circle
Man I get to play real loud
Oh, when I turn that plastic circle man
Man I get to play real loud
Now I can play above the bar noise
Man I'm bigger than a crowd

Got me an electric guitar

Well, they can fight and break the glasses
Now I don't hear them no more
Yeah they can fight and break the glasses
I don't hear them like before
I'm gonna take her to the city
I wont come back no more

Got me an electric guitar, yeah guitar

"Electric Memphis Blues"

"Electric Memphis Blues"


Caught the midnight train
I go hustling through the night
I caught the midnight train
I go hustling through the night
Gonna jump off north of Memphis
When my hometown's out of sight

They say there's only the Devil waiting
In the big city way up there
They say there's only the Devil waiting for me
In the big city way up there
What they don't seem to know
What I been through
I just don't care, no

Gonna get me one of them
Shiny new electric guitars
I'm gonna get me one of them
Shiny new electric guitars
All my best friends say
Well, that's how they're gonna know who you are

Electric Memphis
Electric Memphis Blues
Electric Memphis
Electric Memphis Blues
Electric Memphis
See me coming through

"Espresso Logic"

"Espresso Logic"


If you don't listen what the people say
The people gonna have to take their own way
You got to give the people what they need
And only then will they begin to see

There's a world that we don't know
There's a world we never see
Espresso

I don't need this trouble, I don't need the grief
I don't need to feel this pressure down on me
Every day there's something we don't really need
Stop, think, walk away and let it be
Stop, think, walk away and let it be
Espresso

There's a world that we don't know
There's a world we never see
Espresso

"Every Beat Of My Heart"

"Every Beat Of My Heart"


The daylight breaks, a picture show of endless takes
And the music's coming through on the radio
And I take my place, reluctantly I join the race
It's not my fight, just trying to stay on my feet
But oh there's one thing that gets to me
It's that little girl she puts me down so easily
In total absurd I'm saying these words

With every beat of my heart, I will love you
With every song, with every breath that you take
I'll give you the moon and the sun, you're the only one
Pleading love with every beat of my heart

With every beat of my heart, I will love you
With every song, with every breath that you take
I'll give you the moon and the sun, you're the only one
Pleading love with every beat of my heart
Pleading love with every beat of my heart
