When Fire Breathes Fire
Don't accuse me of doing you harm
music is love in search of a word
and whose truth is truer
no one can judge
Don't tell stories of my dark life
going down for the kill
misfortune won't slow me down
unless this world comes to a standstill
(chorus)
Because when fire breathes fire
and the angels of the choir
sing, "we can't get higher
until the murmurs of the rumors retire."
Don't go chasing me and calling me down
and broadcast my reaction around this town
Uppercuts dwell like bruises on big bourbon faces
come on, my people, let's some beautiful traces.
(chorus)
you can sink any ship
if you shoot from the hip
fatal blow
from the lip of a liar.
Don't accuse me of doing you harm
music is love in search of a word
and whose truth is truer
no one can judge

It’s Gonna Be A New Day
Hey when the river is flowing
with nowhere for it to be going I know
It’s gonna be a new day
Hey when your heart is growing
and all your colors start to showing
it’s gonna be a new day
(Chorus)
It’s gonna be a new day
It’s gonna be a new day
It’s gonna be a new day
It’s gonna be a new day
When someone reaches out to you
there’s hope where it’s gonna take you
I know
it’s gonna be a new day
love is in this land here
I always feel it when it’s coming near
I know
it’s gonna be a new day
(Chorus)

The Summer’s Gonna Stay
You talking about favours and I know you can’t wait
You’ve got the boogie woogie fever and your fever won’t break
Til the sky falls baby ain’t no one gonna treat you bad
I got a hole in my pockets can’t afford your fix
so put a needle and a thread in your old bag of tricks
because it ain’t doing you no good
flying by the seat of your heart
(Chorus)
I talk a show
no way that I’m going your way
Please can you grow me a good reason why I should stay
you talk about favours and I know you can’t wait
I’ll be so damn happy when I’m on my way
I gotta go
somewhere where the summer’s gonna stay
You got a pit stop heart and I won’t let you forget
all the crazy things you did and you don’t regret
but sweet hearts like you shouldn’t boogie woogie on the run
I got poison on my mind I won’t see you the same
your face ain’t changed quite as much as your name
but black names baby seem to make the world go around
(Chorus)

Heart Of A Stranger
You say I shot him down for loving you my loving girl
You say I shot him down for loving you my loving friend
you say I ended a life in vain for oh he had no chance
If he came any later would I pretend?
You say I took my time to show that I had love for you
but it was a waste of time the promises were left unused
in the middle of the night I was drunk and I felt alright
If I knew any better would I pretend?
(Chorus)
Maybe it's all just a dream and from this dream we'll never wake up
I guess I played your part for a heart of a stranger wanted your love
Beyond a shadow of a doubt the best is gone the worst is here
when you check me out like that it makes me have to fight with fear
you say I shot him down but our love came first but our love came first
If I could love you now would I pretend?
(Chorus)

Triviality Denial
Jim is dead
we’re not in a fantasy land
it’s really him
he never got a helping hand
we’ll stay here paying
our respects to this man
maybe nobody understands
(Chorus)
He talked about sunshine
Loved talking about the sunshine
freedom in the air and the sunshine
it’s just another way to say
we really don’t care
Our dream is shattered
nobody paid us enough
we’ve gone in the hole
pretending we were pretty tough
we sat there praying
they’d lend us a hand
seeing our burdens
maybe they’d understand
(Chorus)
They talked about the sunshine
Everybody’s talking about the sunshine
freedom in the air and the sunshine
just another way to say
we really don’t care
They talked about the sunshine
Everybody’s talking about the sunshine
freedom in the air and the sunshine
just another way to say
we really don’t care

Too Good To Be True
Josie came by the water
the shoreline shifted like her gaze
she watched the tide thought of her lover
who became estranged to her
by the way, what was his reason?
why the tear in his eye?
when he said goodbye
as soon as he said hi
you sure look good tonight
Josie tried to only answer
watch what you say she said the place
from where he came he had a broken heart
so afraid he couldn't give any more
he ran away like any other
he'd gone through hell and she was heaven
she saw his point of view
and it occurred to me too
she was too good to be true
Josie wept by the water
the promise kept
forget the meeting ever happened and
she walked away
without a lover but I hope someday
she will get her way
but she'll remember
but she'll remember
but she'll remember.

Far From Here
You shine me a light
dazzle me with your dreams
show me what's right
what the messages mean
where the dollars roll
where the wildflowers lean
you show me the soul
in your sunset stream
you kiss and you dance
make love in between
easy to romance
a blessing you've been
a shower of praise
gives me hope I ain't seen
for so many days
I was the broken machine
You give me the gears
I give you these years
you turn towards tears
I turn towards fears
you hold up a mirror
to the pain I see clear
it's sad how we steer
ourselves far from here
you kiss and you dance
make love in between
easy to romance
a blessing you've been
a shower of praise
gives me hope I ain't seen
for so many days
I was the broken machine
You give me the gears
I give you these years
you turn towards tears
I turn towards fears
you hold up a mirror
to the pain I see clear
it's sad how we steer
ourselves far from here

Memory Star
I find myself thinking of your eyes and how I believe the shadow you cast over the pain
I love your number and I curse the dead feeling inside my head
I wish I had more to say
I wish I had more to say but I find myself believing in your eyes
in only your eyes
and your laughter in the rain
(Chorus)
How can I gain when Nazareth is not where I’m from?
I am only a memory star
showing you the way
through a sad world maze like this
I wish I had more to say
but I find myself believing in your eyes
in only your eyes
and your laughter in the rain
(Chorus)
I find myself thinking of your eyes and how I believe the shadow you cast over the pain
I love your number and I curse the dead feeling inside my head
I wish I had more to say
I wish I had more to say but I find myself believing in your eyes
in only your eyes
and your laughter in the rain
(Chorus)

Step By Step
Well you know man
All you say is a prayer
when you run into traps
and aren't saved
Well you know man
everything is just a little hard
to take it step by step by step
and fall in a hole
(Chorus)
Oooooh
there ain't no cure
yeah
unless the disease is yours
And if your lover
has left you lonely
you can not be alone
if they live inside of you
so find another
everything is just a little hard
to take it step by step by step
and fall in a hole
(Chorus)

Farewell To The Blues

Farewell To The Blues
I’ll say farewell to the blues
there’s no place left to carry them to
we’ve taken them around
now it seems that there’s no solid ground
(Chorus)
You’ll act like a stranger with all that you do or say
in danger of letting you down again
that’s a wager for war but no blood’s been laid
so we’ll hold on to this anger no more
There’s no harm in saying you’re right
maybe there’s a clear road in sight
we’ve gone too far down
To judge one another based on the fears
of the past somehow
(Chorus)

Lonesome World

Lonesome World
I’m hunting for meaning in my journey today
Why it brought me where it brought me
while so many fell astray
Only wish she had married me
but what can I say?
I can’t control even my own lonesome world anyway
I walked out on thousands
and I took the bait
Sold all my possessions
hell I was shooting straight
and we were happy with our broken hearts
as long as we could paint in the rain
and await a new resurrection for a lonesome world anyway
Sweet rain we prayed would happen
sweet days we hoped would come
so we wait to see if this possession will keep us
or put us on the run
sleeping in a cocoon of distraction
and trying to figure out why
time is only worth something if you dance with it
and not pay into the lie
someday I’ll be free, I promise
for now the changes may bend
all the rules stagnant with suffering
in this mousetrap we’re living in
let’s go somewhere new where I want to
let’s see how long you can stand
giving up control of the situation
and going somewhere you wouldn’t land
Now I’m playing and I’m paying
my dreams are at it again
when I don’t reminisce I miss nothing
everyday it’s best to pretend
you never know when your last hurrah will be
your journey is yours to embrace
these may be the good old days of your lonesome world anyway

Every Fool Has A Rainbow
Some folks say
there ain't no need for waiting
Some folks pray
for all the luck they can't find
Some folks think
every day is the same thing
They've all grown old
before their time yeah
Although life does yield no promises
our frustrations must be freed
in our minds we all have problems
and we always lose some sleep
every fool has a rainbow
You stand up strong to get knocked down again
it doesn't hurt but you have to pretend
I heard you say we'll meet again another day
the only thing that won't return is yesterday
Although it's long ago forgotten
you still long to stand within reach
but I push away those memories
with my hands that crack and bleed
Every fool has a rainbow

More Goodbyes Than One Heart Can Hold
It’s a long hard road
knowing some thing has got a hold of you
It’s a long hard road
knowing there’s no exit no matter what you do
Your body craves and aches
and your body is your enemy
Dragons appear and ghosts are near
you are the only one seeing this scenery
(Chorus)
It’s a long hard road
more goodbyes than one heart can hold
It’s a long hard road
more goodbyes than one heart can hold
You have no love to spare or give
the money gets in the way
life becomes drastic plastic fantastic
then there’s the pay
and your body craves and aches
and your body is your enemy
Dragons appear and ghosts are near
you are the only one seeing this scenery
(Chorus)
