Cherry Red Smiles SBV 000133



 

Pull over baby, the cherry man said,
"Slow down your speed, the devil's ahead."
The fruit may be tiny, but shiny and red,
Don't swallow those stones, honey, kiss them instead.


Be good to yourself, living the dream,
Bitter ain't sour when apple's green.

[Chorus]
Have faith in the orchard while the leaves fall,
Nothing but cold nights, surviving is cruel.
What evolves from laughter is learning to cry,
Cherry red smiles, apple green lies.
Cherry red smiles, apple green lies.

[Verse 2]
Time to remember the joys that we found,
In every sweet moment, let love abound.
The branches may bend, but they won’t break,
With you by my side, I’ll do all it takes.


So let’s dance in the twilight, feel that breeze,
The laughter and love will put our hearts at ease.

[Chorus]
Have faith in the orchard while the leaves fall,
Nothing but cold nights, surviving is cruel.
What evolves from laughter is learning to cry,
Cherry red smiles, apple green lies.
Cherry red smiles, apple green lies.

[Bridge]
One more time in the orchard we climb,
Picking red cherries while sucking on lime.
Soon will be winter, no blossom, no flower,
Just apples green, bitter, twisted, and sour.

[Verse 3]
The juiciest fruit won't ripen for long,
It's there in your youth, but then fades like a song.
Cherries are history, green apples decay,
Fall from the tree and then fade away.


It’s a cycle of life that we can’t contrive,
So hold on to moments when we felt alive.

[Chorus]
Have faith in the orchard while the leaves fall,
Nothing but cold nights, surviving is cruel.
What evolves from laughter is learning to cry,
Cherry red smiles, apple green lies.
Cherry red smiles, apple green lies.



[Bridge]
One more time in the orchard we climb,
Picking red cherries while sucking on lime.
Soon will be winter, no blossom, no flower,
Just apples green, bitter, twisted, and sour.

[Outro]
Pull over baby, let’s cherish the ride,
In this orchard of life, where our hearts reside.
Hold on to those memories, never say bye,
Cherry red smiles and apple green lies.

Push The Pedal



Push the pedal To The floor ready to soar

Take Pippin out with The Apple core.

 Cor Blimey Governor  You gotta Get it Right?

In this winter Blues No Suede Shoes. in sight


Deep Fried Humbugs Boot Lace Tie.

 Peel The Spuds before we start to cry.


From the streets to the highs

Were living our dreams

Rap games tight, bursting at the seams


Through the struggle and strife we rise and ignite

"Push the pedal man " We're taking flight


Just heard Rod praise Telegram Sam

Mud slime Slim" He's the Slider man

Chariot Choogle going nowhere fast

He got those Giraffes tangled in his hair " A Blast"


Tangled and mangled like a man gone wild

But he rocks the scene just the chrome and  slide


Streets to the highs ,We're living our dreams

Rap games tight bursting at the seams

Through the struggle and strife we rise and ignite

Push the pedal man " We're taking flight


Venus Loon remains a tune it wont fade

Dipsy and dead in the freight late

While I stay blessed with a star on my brow

Warlock of love "tell me where you now"


The beginning of Doves with crème cage above

A sunken rag with just another lonely born Hag


Strutting down by the roadside, met a man star shy

He said " Boy wouldn't you like to rock" oh my

Give us love just a little love

Boogie love, Bolan love lets rise above


Be my Elemental child for ever in the game

Yeah forever you'll remember my name


From the streets to the highs

Were living our dreams

Rap games tight, bursting at the seams

Through the struggle and strife we rise and ignite

Push the pedal man " We're taking flight


So here we are where the rhythm aligns

With a beat that resonates across the pines

Push the Pedal " Don't forget who you are"

In this journey of  life were shooting for the stars

Pushing to the limit let the fire roar

Take Pippin out with the Apple core.

Never Too Old

In the morning light when the echoes play
Music's my earth wind fire & water every day

Un- Devoted Daughter tho the times can get tough
She's my best friend a comfort when the road gets rough
Stay with me baby while I fight the law.
You know I never back down "Sing through every flaw"

 Didn't know what time it was Bowie would croon.
Star man on the dark side of the moon
Your never to old to do the stroll,
Your never too young to play Rock n Roll

Simon and Garths uncle sang to Emily
The James Gang played we danced so free
Parkers in pink so hold back the night.
Play Quadrophenia, dream until the light


The rebel yelled, you tore that dress. 
Elvis records spinning, blues in a mess
Hunter & Ronson on A ferry cover 
Sons and lovers wish I were your mother

 Your never too old to do the stroll,
 Your never too young to play Rock n Roll


 Smokey's miracle, smoke in our eyes.
 Alice aint desperate for a halo of flies.
 Point that bad finger at baby blue
 Stand in the road with Blackfoot Sioux


 Dave hears you knocking at Rock fields Farm.
 Bolan's zipgun wont ever do you  harm.
Scots of Nazareth shot me right down.
Kinks made me cry over the death of a clown

With every note my heart beats along
In this indie world that's where I belong 
Memories wrapped and melodies drifting away
With every chord I'll lose my dismay

From the vinyl that spins to the digital flow
Music's my anchor gotten where to go

Your never too old to do the stroll, 
Your never to young to play Rock n Roll

So lets dance to the rhythm, feel the bass in our bones
In this sonic landscape we'll make our home
With every verse I'll find a piece of me
Among the notes and chords I'm finally free

Motorcycle And Sidecar Blues G MAJOR 123BPM Modern Country Rock

Come watch me ride Sitting astride, the Beezer rocket 3.
Times are changing re-arranging, no trips to the sea.
Remember the days of candy stick rock.
B sides playing on the Juke Box


Satin jackets gold midi frocks,
To hell with the angels, to Brighton with the mods 
Kick starts were dangerous wait for the roar.
Ape hangers, T. bars, twin cylinder Bore

Eddy Cochran singing  summer time blues
Watching you dance in high heeled shoes.
I Just love  nostalgia and  motorcycle sidecar blues
I Just love  nostalgia and  motorcycle sidecar blues

My hearts gone cold, the Beezers been sold 
Maybe I am getting to old
Radio two is playing brand new key 
Johnny Walker till 5 for me

Why is the TV getting on my nerves
I wanna watch your pop bottle curves
I wanna run my fingers thru your hair
Lets take a ride down to the fair

Loons Flares stack Heeled Shoes
Motor Cycle and Sidecar blues.
Cant Imagine not being with you
I love nostalgia and Motorcycle side car blues 


Pushed to the limit I made a choice
Leather suits or a gold Rolls Royce.
Saturday flicks and penny chews
Hoppalong Cassidy, blue suede shoes.

Teddy boy got a bootlace
Motorcycle gotta sidecar race

Tiger cubs and metallica toys
The open road and ton up boys 
Down  that Whiskey and smoke that grass,
Battery powers now a pain in the ass,
 
Sidecar nightmare satan's cell.
Motor cycle gone to hell 
Time is tight now nothing to lose
I love nostalgia and side car blues 

No amount of money can erode the abuse
Motor cycle and sidecar blues.

Butter Side Down

Putting clocks back an hour or two
Liv in the dark, swallow, don’t chew.
Bite the bullet, with soup of the day,
While sat on the stage, singing my way.

Life comes alive when you let yourself feel
These simple truths, they’re more than just real


Play underground in a cold Stone town
But don't drop your toast, butter side down.
When the world feels heavy, your dreams feel out of reach,
Just find the truth in the lessons we teach.


Pour me some water, cast me adrift,
Write me a card, or send me a gift.
My life isn't living it's scary at heart,
Lets leave together or stay well apart

Grill the city, toast the town,
Count to three when butter side down.
Butter side down, oh, it’s a bitter pill,
Kills the reason we know your not real

Take the diversion, wear yellow not blue,
Dream of a ticket while you’re back in the queue.


Butter side down, just dropped to the floor,
Butter side down, may even the score
Getting my kicks in a fool's hall of fame
String-driven thing enjoying this game


Cherry red guitars on a cosmic slide,
Rod Price played blues until he died.
In June or July, take a ride to the fair
The waltzer, or dodgems "See if I care"

Grill the city, toast the town,
Count to three when butter side down.
Butter side down, oh, it’s a bitter pill,
Kills the reason we know your not real

Life’s like a wheel, just spinning around 
Your only as good as the last gig you found


Play underground in a cold Stone town
But don't drop your toast, butter side down.
When the night feels long and the days are so few,
Remember life was better, when you lived it true.


So here’s to the moments, both dark and bright,
We'll find a way through, "we’ll win this fight"
With the butter side down, we’ll rise again
Enjoy the calm after storms and rain


Grill the city, toast the town,
Count to three when butter side down.
Butter side down, oh, it’s a bitter pill,
Kills the reason we know your not real
