Headful of Melodies:

Love Thing

Verse 1: Sometimes I get crazy I’ve been doing it all my life
Some would say that’s an understatement
I would say that it’s just about right
I haven’t ever been tied up, or settled down for long
But you and me we started disagreeing and we both kept moving on

Chorus: I swear I loved you anyways
That wasn’t an easy thing for me to say yeah but it
Gets a little easier these days
Because I have been on this love thing lately

Verse 2: I haven’t ever slowed down, long enough to wonder why
Nothing ever came out of what we had what a shame for you and I
We coulda went and got married, but I’m glad we refrained
Tried and failed, but what the hell nobody had to change their name

Verse 3: We both kept on moving, after we said goodbye
It was a game well played and I sure hated, seeing a good thing die
Maybe I should have kept you and, maybe you shouldn’t have ran
But what I’m singing is love is a thing that I will never ever understand

Run With It

Verse 1: When the feeling comes, you gotta run, you gotta run with it
When the feeling comes you gotta run with it
Cause you might not get it back again
So I don’t care if it’s three in the morning
And your back is hurting and you can’t stop yawning
And you’ve already climbed up under the sheets and
Three quarters of your body is ready asleep
If the feeling is there then you should get out of your bed
And write them ideas down from out of your head
You should go book a show or work on a song
Or whatever it is that pushes your passion along

Verse 2: Every day, it’s the same old thing I have fallen into a lackluster routine
I get out of bed and I brush my teeth, I look in the mirror and whisper good grief
It’s another, photo copy of a day I’ve gotta find a new tune to play
New words to say that I have not said a new reason to get out of my busted bed
Like changing strings and lining up show yay and putting down music that nobody knows
Well we all deal with the cards we get dealt so I put down on paper what my heart has felt
I hope that I don’t often anyone if I put you in a song it’s all in good fun so
Let’s be cool come on let’s be friends yay and keep making music forever and ever amen

Verse 3: Something happens, when you play it when you’re playing it right
Something happens when you play the music right, you kill em and then you,
You bring em back to life You make em dance and laugh and then you make em cry
Reminding yourself what it means to be alive

Worth Fighting For

Verse: Last night you came on kinda strong
You said you swear that I was taking you wrong but I swear
That you were looking to start a fight and fight is what we did
We fought like we were kids and I swore that I would not do that again yeah yeah
But we were storming and I walked out now it’s the morning and I’ve got my doubts
Because you were saying something about a misunderstanding and now
All of the sudden it’s a different situation than I thought I was handling and
If you didn’t mean what I thought you meant then I shouldn’t have said the things I said
I don’t believe that we should be this upset
I wish we could move on without regrets like..
Like it never happened

Chorus: It don’t matter to me, if it don’t matter to you,
What’s in our past is in our past
Let’s focus on what we’re gonna do
It don’t matter to me, if it don’t matter to you
We can rise above these problems and we can push on through
Cause we got a good thing, we’ve got a good thing for sure
We’ve got a good thing and I believe that it’s worth fighting for

Worries

Verse 1: We’ve all heard the stories of fortune and fame
None of them ever included my name but
I keep on rollin I don’t complain
The music it keeps me from going insane
It goes like this and I can’t explain but
I hum and I hiss and this takes my worries away

Verse 2: I wish you would lay your worries away
Not for forever but please while I play
The moon and the stars will gather our gaze
We lay and recall the constellation names
You ask if I love you I say what I say
I’ll play for you babe if it takes your worries away

Chorus: Don’t you worry your life away 
Surely you know by now that things turn around
Don’t you worry your life away one by one your problems come
Tumbling down

Verse 3: So don’t worry darling, it’s going to be fine
Soon enough it’ll be summer time and
You can take your worries and I will take mine and
We’ll throw them into the sea what do you say
Forget about fortune, forget about fame and
All of them stories that will surely leave out our names
Keep on rollin don’t you ever complain and
Throw your worries into the sea and watch em float away

Turn It Around

Verse 1: I was feeling just a little suicidal as if the worst decision was right
I went to bed with that shit in my head and I had a terrible dream that night
See I had eaten all of life’s sweet fruits that I can find and I found myself with the rinds
Stepped off the ledge and I changed my mind man I just couldn’t leave it all behind
I had a minute or two to contemplate cause in my dream it was a long way down
I started thinking about everything that I was doing wrong and
Thinking maybe I could turn it all around
I hit the ground with a splat and I woke up from that
Shaking my head and feeling relieved
It’s like all my problems were just a little easier than they were previously perceived
I was thinking..

Chorus: I can turn it all around
But I can’t do it here lying down

Verse 2: The next couple of day went past kinda fast as I
Started working on my new path
Started writing down my goals the short term and the long
I think that losing focus is where most of us go wrong
I wanted a new song and a new dance
I wanted to be laughing so hard that I was clapping my hands
Started assessing the things that were affecting my mood
I wanna write more, sleep better, eat better food
I gotta play more guitar, I gotta read more books
And I gotta quit giving these random people mean looks
I gotta get back in the gym and get back into swimming
That’s how I turn this bad new into a new beginning

One More Time

Verse 1: I had been through it all
You knew that before you ever even came to call
But you cracked my egg wide open
Hoping that the yolk wasn’t already broken

Chorus: And I hope you like what you found I
Hope I don’t let you down I
Hope you don’t turn around and change your mind
Please tell me that you love me baby one more time

Verse 2: I’m glad that you’re so sure holding the world in the palm of your hand
Not me baby I’m a wreck
I lost all of my self respect and I need you to understand

Bridge: No se preocubado friente conso contigo
save scapreamo escucha se ya tegoooooooo

Verse 3: Sing to me baby, play me that guitar and I am yours
Let me sing with you my love
Do you really think I’m the one you’ve been waiting for

Unified Shout

Verse:1 The sun is going to come up soon are you ready
Boss man’s coming down hot and heavy
So you load another truck but it’s never enough
Oh lord I give em all my time but it isn’t worth much to em
They want more and they want it for free they get a
Pat on the back for every dollar they can squeeze yay and
It’s no wonder why they’re so hard on us
If we don’t get done on time then our boss don’t get that bonus man
I close my eyes and wish we would unionize
With a unified shout call them out on their lies
Because together we will stand with a fist in the sky
I said you better get ready for the sun to rise

Verse 2: The sun is gonna come up even though it’s raining
I heard that if you’re working you shouldn’t be complaining
I heard that if I slip up my job would be in danger
That they would replace us in a day or two with strangers
Yeah they want more and they want it for free
But the fear for my job was replaced with apathy
Along the way I started saying what’s going on?
Yeah the words to a Marvin Gaye Song remain strong
Remember it’s no wonder why they’re so hard on us
If we don’t get done on time then our boss don’t get his bonus man
I close my eyes and wish we would unionize
With a unified shout call them out on their lies because
Together we will stand with a fist in the sky
I said you better get ready for the sun to rise

Bridge: One of these days I’m going to walk away from this place 
Gonna throw down my tools yeah I’ve got to leave this place
Cause they don’t need me they made that clear
But we don’t need them and that’s the revelation here

Verse 3: The Sun is going to come up cause we have gotten smarter
Started realizing there our lives have gotten harder
Since totalitarian agriculture’s taken over
Now mother culture’s trying to tell me what I need a Range Rover?
Shit I don’t want it don’t need it it’s a trick
Y’all they throw this shit at you until it starts to stick like the
New shoes new clothes new look
Please turn off your TV’s and read a book remember
Ishmael spelled it out for us very clearly
That overpopulation has made our planet weary
Nod your heads up and down people if you hear me this is
Not a theory it’s a word to the wise
That you had better get ready for the sun to rise

Masheroni

Get you face out of that cell phone please..
And talk to me

My Friends

Verse 1: Well here’s a song, here’s a song for the people that I love
Said even though I may be broke, here’s a little song I wrote
For the peoplethat I call my friends
Ain’t nothing wrong, there’s not a single thing wrong if you
Wanna join right in
You can sing a long, wish you would sing along
Yeah it goes just like this

Chorus: I wanna thank you, I wanna thank you, for being one of my friends
I wanna thank you, I wanna thank you, for being one of my friends

Verse 2: So if you need a place to stay, don’t hesitate to say
That such is the case
Cause if you look out for me, then I’ll look out for you
And we can keep it cool that way
Cause this ol world gets hard on us all
Sometimes I wonder if I can keep holding out, but I just keep holding out
And without you my love, without you my friends
I would surely crumble without a doubt

Take a Stand

Verse 1: There are times in your life when you know you should fight
Even though it is clear that a win is unlikely
So keep your chin tucked in and move side to side
Keep on swinging you can lose with pride

Chorus 1: Take a stand take a stand nobody ever won that ran
Even when you’re outnumbered
Take a stand to take a stand change of mind if you can
Use all your might if you’re right take a stand

Verse 2: So when the time comes and you can’t feel your feet
And you hear your voice shake don’t be scared to speak
Cause we are all equal and you know what you know
And if you know what’s right then you should say so

Chorus 2: Take a stand to take a stand nobody ever won that ran
Even when you’re outnumbered
Take a stand to take a stand change a life if you can
Use all your might if you’re right take a stand

Verse 3: So these times in your life don’t be scared to fight
Even though it is clear that a win is unlikely
Just keep your chin tucked in and move side-to-side
Keep on swinging hey you might be surprised

Chorus 3: Take a stand take a stand nobody ever won that ran
Even when you’re outnumbered
Take a stand to take a stand
Change the world if you can
Use all your might if you’re right take a stand

IL Leone

Verse 1:
Well there’s a young man with shoulders like cliffs iron in his jaw and lead in his fist and
If you’re from around here it’s well known you never mess around with il leone
You can find him in the gym both day and night huffing and puffing getting ready for a fight
He don’t sleep no he don’t have to eat he goes through a couple punching bags a week
I pulled his last opponent to the side said listen young man forget about pride
He’ll beat you down he’ll make you a clown he’ll leave your trainers embarrassed wearing frowns

Chorus: 
I said if I were you I would walk away son but you’ve gotta do what’s gotta be done 
And when you’re laying there all alone remember what I told you about Il leone well
It’s one two three four all the way to ten and if you get up he’s gonna put you down again
Your best bet is to stay at home if you ever get called out by Il Leone

Verse 2:
Well he started training when he was conceived he was
Throwing combinations from the day he learn to breathe
When it came out his mama was relieved because her
Liver was the punching bag until delivery yeah
The doctor leaned down to pick him up he got his jaw broke with a right uppercut
Ol’ dr. Naggy was a lucky man cause I left would have broke his neck like a rubber band
The nurse in the room she fell in love her boyfriend said he fought Golden Gloves
The kid challenged him and it was quite a sight he won himself a fight on his first night of life

Verse 3:
Now 20 years past and he’s a man and many of fighter fall into his hands 
He’s on his way to the top believe me when I say that he won’t be stopped
Because he’s a killer born and bred with images of carnage running through his head
And if your next up on the list will go and give your mama one final kiss
Yeah all the ones on top it’s you he’s coming for don’t shrug it off because it’s true
Write it down so there’s no doubt De Santo’s coming to knock you out

Last chorus:
I said if I were you I would walk away soon but you’ve got to do what’s gotta be done
When you’re laying there all alone remember what I told you about Il leon
Well it’s one two three four all the way to 10 and if you get up he’s going to put you down again When you’re laying there squirming about remember de Santo’s the one that knocked you out

Heart of Mine

Verse 1:
I’ve been waiting all afternoon been waiting on a call from you 
And it don’t come, boy do I feel dumb
Why’d you tell me you would call if it wasn’t in your plans at all
And why do you lie
I wish you’d take a minute or two and tell me what you plan to do
And tell me what you want from me

Chorus:
Baby make up your mind
Tell me what you plan to find in this heart of mine

Verse 2:
So what am I supposed to think did you have too much to drink
and forget me? How hard can that be?

But sometimes I need you to myself
You know that I trust you babe I know that you would never stray
But sometimes well maybe I don’t know

On the side of the road needing a tow wearing holes in the soles of your shoes

When I told you I couldn’t take it anymore
I don’t remember what you said

Cause you broke my mind and my pride you broke my confidence
You broke me down but I don’t mind

And my pride you broke my confidence
You broke me down but I don’t mind

You broke my confidence
You broke me down but I don’t mind
Cause my heart healed up just fine

I was thinking how you did me wrong and I was thinking how it took so long 
For you to tell me that I ain’t the one I can tell that you knew you knew from day one

Now I’m crying so hard that I’m chokin’ I gave you my heart and you gave it back broken

Verse 3:
In the summer you took me in and in the winter you kicked me out again but

Well I know, I know, don’t rub it in
