Plain Jane (The Girl of My Dream)

Waiting on a Bus in the freezing cold

Been standing here so long, feels like I'm getting old

I wish I had a reason to leave the queue

Glad I didn't as just seen you

Your just like the girl I saw in my dream

The one that was tempting "you know what I mean"

I never realized that dreams came true

Rubbing my eyes I guess they really do

Should I stand and wait my turn in the queue

Or should I move to try and talk to you

My predicament leaves me with no choice

When I heard your soft and sexy voice

You were talking with a guy "I had to know why"

So I moved a little closer to catch your eye

I heard you say that you liked to dance

I could not believe it " This could be my chance" 

We can dance all night Jive and swing

Rock n Roll is really my favourite thing

But how can I be forward "It would be so rude"

Should I wait on the bus and be glad I queued

I began to think " Had my luck run out"

When all of a sudden I heard the guy shout

See ya later !"Nice to see you again"

And maybe catch up but don't know when

My heart all of a sudden had slowed down

Knowing that she was single and new to the town

I heard you say that you liked to dance

I could not believe it " This could be my chance" 

We can dance all night Jive and swing

Rock n Roll is really my favorite thing

The Bus pulled up and I jumped the Queue

Saying hey can I come sit with You

She gave me that smile "You know the one from my dream

My face was a picture " I hoped she were keen

I paid her fare and continued to stare

Looking at this beauty with the long black hair

I said Forgive me so what is your name?

She said to me "oh its just plain Jane"

You aint plain I can tell you right now

When I saw you at the stop "I thought Wow"

Would You go to the local hop with me

Oh I don't know" We'll just have to see"

I heard you say that you liked to dance

Well so do I " This could be our chance" 

We can dance all night Jive and swing

Rock n Roll is really my favorite thing

Come on Jane Just say yes "Its Friday night I'll dress to impress

Well if you pick me up at 7 then maybe I guess

I betcha look cute in a satin dress

Just say yes yes yes yes yes

Your parents can look me up and down

It don't mean nothin as your we're new in town

Well see you Friday as this is my stop

We will have a ball at the Lindy Hop

We can dance all night Jive and swing

Rock n Roll is really my favorite thing

Jive with me "Jane take that chance"

Take me to heaven C'mon lets dance

She said its gonna be great so its 7 at mine

Promise me we'll have a good time

We can be together the perfect team

Just be there Jane the girl of my Dream

Girl of my dream don't break my heart

Promise me we'll never part

Jive with Me Jane take this chance

Take me to Heaven come on lets dance

Oh yeah oh yeah come on lets dance

Lets hold hands kiss n romance

Promise me we'll never part

Girl of my dream don't break my heart

Mr Cool

 I don't know what you want from me

And doubt I ever will

I don't know what your looking for

Are you getting a cheap thrill

Seeing if you can test my nerve while digging underground

Or just waiting on that moment when my limits can be found

I wasn't born with a silver spoon hanging from my mouth

Don't need a compass to point me north or south

I could spell, reed, and write before the age of six

I can find fresh water with willow dowsing sticks

You'll have to get up early before the sun can rise

Try singing with the birds to pull wool over my eyes

You wont get the better of me as I am Mister Cool

I can see you coming and aint nobody's fool

You wont get the better of me by playing silly games

You wont fit me up, I wont take the blame

You aint getting the better of me, Not one little bit

So please submit, give in and just quit

Yeah you aint getting the better of me, Not one little bit

Don't waste your time while shouting out those evil lies

I have people watching you " your so called friends are spies

They tell me everything, every hate speech you announce

Feel the weight of my wrath every pound and every ounce

The rock of truth will sit upon your tales and your lies

The boulder of guilt will forever blind your eyes

Take just a minute to ask yourself one thing

Why appear like a butterfly? but like a wasp you wanna sting

You wont get the better of me by playing silly games

You wont fit me up, I wont take the blame

You aint getting the better of me, Not one little bit

So please submit, give in and just quit

Yeah you aint getting the better of me, Not one little bit

Yeah I can see you coming and aint nobody's fool

You wont get the better of me as I am Mister Cool

I don't know what you want from me

And doubt I ever will

I don't know what your looking for

Exhausted by your lies and damnation overkill

Yeah I can see you coming and aint nobody's fool

You wont get the better of me as I am Mister Cool

Checkmate Blues

Have you abandoned the game

I'm just asking, It seems such a shame

Raising the white flag for you and your king

Throwing the towel into the checkerboard ring

Are you a pawn disguised as a clown

Is that a grimace or maybe a frown

There is only one way to ever beat me

But that wont be today no no "Believe Me"

Take your time their is no great rush

I'm patient amid the silence hush hush

I'll sit here quietly and wait my turn

The flame of my candle still lovingly burns

I'll light another with a flickering flame

While you decide the next move in your game

Moving a bishop a rook or your knight

Extinguish those nerves or fade like the light?

Wake me if I should fall asleep 

Nudge me my turn while counting sheep 

Keep me posted, if I'm under attack

I cannot afford to lose the shirt off my back

Wow you moved and now have me in check

I feel like a fool a physical wreck

Oh dear oh dear so what happens now

Your  check mate plan I cannot allow

Gonna take my time as in no great rush

I will be patient and silent hush hush

I'll sit here and wait, to ponder my turn

The flame of my candle still lovingly burns

Queen takes knight and traps my rook

In your haste my Queen overlooked

You are now trapped as I move away

Your King still holding my bishop at bay

Nowhere to go your blunder will cost

Check mate of your king " Your game is now lost"

The position of pawn and my brave knight

No where to move black square or white

Take your time as in no great rush

I will be patient and silent hush hush

I'll sit here and wait to figure my turn

The flame of my candle still lovingly burns

Are you raising the white flag on behalf of your King

Surrendering again?  I'm just asking

Will you give in to my knowledge and plan

Catch me out and win a game if you can

Have you abandoned the battle and game

I'm just asking, It seems such a shame

Are you raising the white flag on behalf of your king

Throwing the towel into the checker board ring

Check mate check mate its never to late

Pass me the trophy as I seal your fate

Check mate check mate its never to late

Pass me the trophy as I seal your fate

Take your time as in no great rush

I will be patient and silent hush hush

I'll sit here and wait to figure my turn

The flame of my candle still lovingly burns

Cobbald Path Blues

 Walking cobbled paths alone in my head

For many years I have feared all the dread

Will I have a choice? what's out there for me?

Or sail for miles on a rough stormy sea.

Tired days have been endless and nights cold and long 

While all around me a wicked echo and song 

A swirling heavy darkness ahead in my sight

Blurring my vision from brightness and light .

Wherever journeys take my hopeful heart

How ever this power tears life apart

It always finds me left alone in the dark

The wicked will always attack like a shark

This isn’t the first time I’ve stood on these paths

Where my footprints look heavier than they did in the past

I’ll travel the distance, gain belief in myself

Push onward and upward, finding my heart on the history shelf

Which path will I choose from the ones up ahead

When every direction is darkness and dread

I may take the wild one that angels have fled

Every signpost repeating words I have said

Wherever journeys take my hopeful heart

How ever this power tears life apart

It always finds me left alone in the dark

The wicked will always attack like a shark

I’m lost once again I look back where I’ve been

Only to find that I’m still in a dream

The sun hits my eyes, am I nearing the end

Here in the light ,on paths that won’t bend

Then the alarm clock is ringing

Dreams no longer displayed

A colorful vision has started to fade

I’m staring up at the ceiling so white

While thinking out loud reality bites

Wherever journeys take my hopeful heart

How ever this power tears life apart

It always finds me left alone in the dark

The wicked will always attack like a shark

Back to reality , the illusion still played

Feeling the weight of the choice never made

Here in the world, the same people, same face

My mind has been frozen ,now knowing my place

These times that I spend alone in my head

The darkness that covers me with all of its dread

I thought waking up would make things more clear

But daylight won’t wash away the darkness and fear

Wherever journeys take my hopeful heart

How ever this power tears life apart

It always finds me left alone in the dark

The wicked will always attack like a shark

I spin in circles in darkness and light

I wonder if ever I’ll win this long fight

Loosing my grip and chasing my ghost

I just hope I keep the people I love the most.

Yeah while Loosing my grip and chasing my ghost

I just hope I keep the people I love the most.

War of the Gods

 Dark shadows descended from way up high

Bringing tornado's through velvet black sky

The guardians above prepared for the fight

They filled the sky with electric blue light

The mountains defying a storm in a cage

Battling the sea with its strongest of rage

The storm came so suddenly all over our land

The guardian Angels were now in command

People ran to their homes to batten down and secure

The storm now rising while striking the pure

Up in the heavens the Gods now arise

Sending Angels to earth hearing sorrowful cry’s

You could hear all the Angels as they hit the ground

No danger No alarm they fell all around

It was almost as if the heavens turned black

The Guardians were now under attack

The darkness that followed formed like a shroud

Tormenting thunder claps "Cracking so loud"

The power they held sent a message to all

Angels are fighting "They herald our call"

People were running in fear from the fight

The eyes of the Angels were giving them light

Gathering together united they prayed

Finding courage and strength no longer afraid

You could hear all the Angels as they hit the ground

No danger No alarm they fell all around

"It was almost as if the heavens turned black"

The Guardians were now under attack

The darkness believed their power was strong

Demanding the thrones the gods sat upon

They fought for the realms, the kingdoms above

Showing no mercy for the Angels of love

Laughed while destroying then swallowed the sun

Unaware that the battle was over and done

Clutching to shadows dissolving in fire

Ending the darkness and evil desire.

You could hear all the Angels as they hit the ground

No danger No alarm they fell all around

It was almost as if the heavens fought back

The Guardians no longer under attack

Angels ascended back to their kingdom

Earth hummed a tune rejoicing the freedom

The lightning and storm once a battle cry

Left a canvas of light and a clear blue sky

Mr Nice Guy

 Give it to me straight, your manners aint great

Tell it like it is, its my business

I need to know, why your shouting at me

I need to reply. hear this for free

Tripping over your lies and your ugly disguise

Mr nice guy you aint fooling me

Looking into your eyes I plainly see

I have not been this angry for such a long time

But your outburst just blew my mind

Now all I wanna do is have my say

You have no excuse no no no way

Aint fooling me or wearing me down

Do you see me laughing you aint no clown

Stop running your mouth, Shouting the odds

Your face like thunder while spitting rods

You have been rumbled yeah found out

Its time your evil was getting called out

Too many people have seen your face

Two types are showing and both a disgrace

Don't lecture me, show some respect

Your disguises are totally and physically wrecked

I have not been this angry for such a long time

But your outburst just blew my mind

Now all I wanna do is have my say

You have no excuse no no no way

That thinly veiled apology

Don't cut no mustard its plain to see

Respect your elders and mend your ways

Or cometh the reaper " You will one day pay"

Mr nice guy you aint fooling me

Looking into your eyes I plainly see

Aint fooling me or wearing me down

Do you see me laughing you aint no clown

I have not been this angry for such a long time

But your outburst just blew my mind

Now all I wanna do is have my say

You have no excuse no no no way

No No No Way No No No Way

No No No No No No No No

No No No way

Punching My Weight

 

The Queensbury rules we shouldn't bend

Learning the moves and how to defend

Bobbing and weaving while using the jab

Cutting in close uppercut like a stab

Battered and bruised but no longer in pain

Stepping out of the ring, sheltering from the rain

My Boxing career was once something of joy

Been punching my weight since I were a boy

A lethal left hook and right uppercut

Go down to the body, stay clear of the rut

Step sideways, back and raise those gloves high

Punch the back of the neck as he moves by

I've been sparring and learning how to be smart

Stamina training while pulling a cart

My strength is my gateway to winning the fight

My mind is my fortress and my guiding light

Battered and bruised but no longer in pain

Stepping out of the ring, sheltering from the rain

My Boxing career was once something of joy

Been punching my weight since I were a boy

Never before have I been beat

Least not by a punk from the street

He must have caught me with a lucky shot

My time must be up "How long have I got"?

Oh well I suppose I need to retire

I'm getting old  with less of the fire

That burned in my body, heart and soul

I achieved my desire my hope and my goal

Battered and bruised but no longer in pain

Stepping out of the ring, sheltering from the rain

My Boxing career was once something of joy

Been punching my weight since I were a boy

World champions need to know when to quit

Go to there corner and continue to sit

When that bell rings to usher your next round

Relax in the silence your heart has just found

Battered and bruised but no longer in pain

Stepping out of the ring, sheltering from the rain

When that bell rang to usher my final round

I relaxed in the silence and the heart I had found
