Lyrics

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

Lyrics

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

Just as if I planned it

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
