Lyrics

He fell in love with the girl and was on top of the world
But he had a reputation for the wandering eye
So he kept his options open and no matter what you’re smokin
the grass is always greener on the other side
Oh bring on the lessons of love

Two hearts will cry in the lonely night
thinking of cruel love lessons learned
and the only prize that can satisfy
is to love and be loved in return

Well sure enough heart-break finds him when he leaves love behind him
It’s a lesson that he had to learn the hard way
Every girl in the bar sees the hole in his heart
Cause he can only talk about the one that got away
Oh learning the lessons of love

bridge:
can we ever rebuild all of the love bridges we burn
can we ever be changed by all the love lessons we learn

Well his daddy always taught him when you hit rock bottom
There is only one direction left for you to go
So he picks up the phone and in a tender tone
say I was thinking maybe we could see a show
Oh these are the lessons of love

Lyrics

The youth have their fountain
but we’ve just quit countin
We’re over the mountain
and pickin up speed
Just two old-time lovers
no secrets uncovered
who wink at each others
idiosyncracies

The kids all vacated
to get higher educated
Now we walk around naked
in our house in the burbs
our clocks might be tickin
But we are still kicking
It’s my story and I’m stickin
to it and to her

CHRS: Sun shines, take time
look at us we’re doing fine
Still enjoying the ride
No doubt, shout it out
This is what it’s all about
me and my bride – just hitting our stride

She’s a dream that’s recurring
my passion gets stirring
her engine gets purring
and it just won’t quit
Age won’t handicap me
Her moves still attract me
laugh with me or at me
I really don’t give a shit

Chrs

Her green eyes are dreamy
with her plus-size bikini
she’s drinking martinis
when I’m drinking beers
She pours on the spice
of love in my life
she’s my trophy wife
of twenty five years

Lyrics

He hears her voice humming in the shower
First thing in the morning
he grabs his things and a photo off the dresser
and slips out the door
’cause she told him

I’m wanting to remember you
Just like this
So darling please you must leave
first thing

She carries on but often feels so empty
First thing in the morning
So she’ll close her eyes and conjure up the memory
Of that crooked smile
When she told him

I’m wanting to remember you
Just like this
So darling please you must leave

Oh we can say ‘Goodbye, we tried’
but it will tear you apart inside
when love won’t let go

She hears the bell, still dripping from the shower
First thing in the morning
She walks downstairs despising wishful thinking
and opens the door
and he tells her

I’m wanting to be with you
Just like this
So darling please never leave

Verse 1
Every word she said to me hit me like a poison dart
Things I never thought she could say
Chosen ever so carefully, they echoed in my worn-out heart
As she walked away

Chorus
She don’t know why she don’t love me any more
She don’t know where it’s gone
She don’t know when or if she’ll come home
I told her baby please don’t go without letting me know
But she don’t know why

Verse 2
She told me that she can’t explain the motivations of the heart
And she’s hoping that I’ll be OK
She told me that the passion has died, and now she needs a brand new start
I’ve never felt so betrayed

Chorus 2

Bridge
We thought that love was the answer
Now only questions remain

Chorus 3
I don’t know why I love her anymore
I don’t know where she’s gone
I don’t know when she’s coming back home
I told her baby please don’t go without letting me know
But she don’t know why

Verse:

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem
He was riding on a donkey’s back
The people came to shout Hosanna in the highest
Hallelujah as a matter of fact

The Pharisees they came when they heard a commotion
stood and wondered at their home-town crowd
Jesus said hey boys, you better let them shout it
or the rocks are gonna cry out loud

Lyrics

Let’s see where it takes us
One day at a time
Life’s an adventure
Let the road unwind

Honey don’t rush it
Take it slow
We’ve got a life time
Let the story unfold

My love
we’ve got something special
We’re like a train on an endless track
Don’t hold back girl
Let’s see you and me
Let’s see where it takes us
Let’s see where it takes us
Don’t work it too fast
Take it easy baby
True love’s gonna last

Don’t stiffel the mystery
We don’t need to know
We’re on a roll now baby
Let the thing go

Lyrics

Mad is the tempest that this life is made of
I’m in the eye the storms
There may be colors that I cannot tell the shade of
but I just dress in layers, to keep me warm

all of the pieces seem so unconnected
to the untrained eye
The plot has thickened in a way unexpected
It looks rehearsed but it’s all improvised

chorus:

This just as if I planned it
Every day the way it’s supposed to be
Just as if I planned it
and nobody’s more surprised than me

every day it seems success is getting nearer
no point in keeping at bay
I’ll take the credit for the smoke and the mirrors
Our little secret I will never give away

(bridge)
I do believe in coincidence making sense

Lyrics

William and Kate
Norm Strauss, Andrew Smith, Zach Smith, Ann Vriend
(c) 2010 roadmap music

William and Kate relate with a casual intimacy
at the Kensington street cafe over scones and their favourite tea

No newspapers hide their faces
as she reaches to wipe a crumb from his chin
There’s comfort in the quiet spaces
and he can recognize the mischief in her grin

William and Kate up late with Rogers and Astair
who even on their own were great, but better as a pair

Soft shoe romance, two step slow dance
Around the furniture as the credits roll
Swaying slowly, lost in a trance
Laughing as their clothing hits the floor

William and Kate’s next date is prime-time fantasy
This fairy-tale love escape is just what nation needs

Lyrics

Rolled out of bed on the wrong side today
Face the game of life, but I just don’t want to play
My only desire is that you would stay
I’m tortured by this love ’cause it just won’t go away

CHORUS:
How do you fall out of love
A wise old man never said
I wish them prophets they had something to say
Because fallin’ in love is easy babe
But once you’re in you know it just won’t go away

When love comes to town it won’t leave you alone
Ya it’s got my number and it calls me on the phone
Just to remind me that you’ve gone away
Now I’m lost without you but this love is here to stay

If wise men say that only fools rush in
Then I guess that makes me the biggest fool that ever lived
You can call me stupid you can call me what you will
I wish I wasn’t but I’m in love with you still

Lyrics

Every morning when it’s time to get out of bed
There’s a question that is running round inside of my head
Is it really worth the energy and time that I spend working 9-5
Just to stay alive
The telephone is ringin, I just sit and I stare at it
Wondering if it’s possible to get out of there
I could bust out of my prison, I could fly anywhere
I might never go, but you never know
 
What keeps a man like me moving on, I don’t know – curiosity?
Who know what might come along, there are still possibilities
Ironically it has been said by that little voice inside my head:
this cat would probably be dead if not for this  curiosity
 
Oh my imagination’s kinda bringin me down
Dreaming ‘bout all of the treasures that are yet to be found
In reality my feet are planted here on the ground and I’m wonderin
What’s around the bend
I don’t believe in destiny, I’m rolling the dice
And it’s only curiosity that’s breaking the ice
And my seeming inability to sit and play nice when I’m bored to tears
Get me outta here
 
You got another thing coming
You just might have another thing coming
