Track Name: Gypsies In A Chair
GYPSIES IN A CHAIR

We’re all gypsies in a chair
Moving from this one to that over there
Who really owns it when nobody’s here?
It’s hardly worth fighting over
Yet so hard to share

We’re all breathing this air
Filled with electrics call it atmosphere
Is that where I find them, Jesus and Buddha
Is there such a thing as answer to prayer?
I don’t know

I understand nothing
I’m finding my way
Searching for answers to explain this life
I’m beyond 20 something
Still haven’t a clue
When I’m wrong or I’m right

We’re all gypsies in a chair
Resting our bones
To console this despair
Waiting on someone while
Drowning in beer
Feeling self conscious
Just me sitting here

Who’s coming next
Where have they been
Who has the answers
Where am I going
Where do we go in the end?
Track Name: It's YOUR Birthday
You’re only as old as you feel
Your mind has gotton smarter
But is your body hanging around?
Can I suggest that you don’t try to fight it
But if you could I’m sure you would
Exchange it or sell it
Replace it or fill it with youth cause

It’s your Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
To you

Verse 1
It’s YOUR Birthday
And your one year, from where you were
Do you long to look back, do you want to keep track
Is it all that you can do to keep your age out of the news?

Chorus

Verse 2
It’s YOUR Birthday
You’re the star of the show
Older than what you’ll have us know
Just how far have you come
Is the sun ahead of you or is it setting in the west
Did you do your very best this year
Will you pass that drivers test?
Go and get your eyes checked
Suck it in, shed a tear
Have some cake an’ take a shit, and get over it!

Chorus

Verse3
It’s YOUR Birthday
It’s your headach
But you can ease it with a pill
Last chance to grab a thrill
Pay the bill, bottoms up now don’t forget to wink
Let’s get some colour in those cheeks
An’ order us a round of drinks
We’ll sing this song and count the weeks
Before you bite it!

Chorus
Track Name: The Gift
THE GIFT

Won’t you sit with me for awhile
Why must you leave so soon
I’ve got nothing better to do
Than look into your eyes

So we only met last night
You came with me out went the light
Together, we should go on in this forever

Chorus
Light, light up my life
Lead me from strife
Open up the Gift
That’s been given us
The opportunity to explore

Seems everyone I know
Bumping along the same old road
Expired, deliver me from this hell fire

Come back around this way won’t you
Take me in your arms and let me hold you
Stop thinking about it
Your heart will tell you the answer
I’m coming after you
Track Name: Nothing In Return
There’s a hole in my year
A period of nothingness
From October first to the 20th
I’m floating, a waste away
broken is my confidence
Loathing my infatuation over you
And the time I spend
With the TV set

What has happened to me?
I entertain myself in a ritual searching for
an open door that leads me well away from myself
I’m a bird at heart, bathing in seven colors
I hate to come back and to face this room
As I spend my life doing things that give me

Nothing in Return
I get nothing no, in return
And you, you’re not here, do you want it that way,
I guess, now we’re driving this thing called loneliness

By ten I’m into bed
The sheets are cold and the silence
rings within my ears I talk to myself
things I say on my way to sleep
I deny a love I was meant to keep
Could it be, no

I get nothing
Nothing in return
I get nothing no
In return

And you, you’re not here
Do you want it that way? I guess
Now we’re sharing this thing called loneliness
Not the best thing we can do for ourself right now
I think, right now, right now

And you, you’re not here
Do you want it that way? I guess
Now we’re sharing this thing called loneliness
and I spend my life doing things that give me

Nothing in return
Track Name: Vodka Is My Brother
Vodka is my brother
He hits me in the head
When I just step out of bed
When we hung out in the shed the night before
Vodka is my brother

Gin is my sister
Talks to me so easily
Is gentle as can be is my sister gin

Whiskey is my father
Though we don’t always agree
There’s still times we have to be together
My father whiskey and me

Chorus:
Vodka and gin
Whiskey and sin
Cognac and beer
Help me get along
Year after year

Cognac is my mother
Sweet as a honey bee
Always has the time for me
Lift me up in time of need
Will my mother
Cognac my mother

And nobody knows me better
Than my good old friend beer
When I need to talk or I want to disappear
My good old friend beer
Always here
Track Name: A Moment's Shelter
I have your hand
He has your heart
We have only crossed a river
But down the bank
Through the cliff
Over the rocks the turns the twist
In the end the two of you are together

Chorus
And I will always be
Nothing more than a moment’s shelter
Someplace safe and warm
To dry your coat and gain your strength
Lace your boots
Send you back to your storm

To find a place with me
Is far as it could be
From logic
Truth or possibility
While I have your hand
He has your heart
We have only crossed a river

Chorus

Imagination knows
That limits aren’t imposed
That’s all fine when you’re deep inside a red wine
But what tomorrow brings
Is quite different than it seems now
Don’t wake me from this cozy, coloured dream

Chorus
