Up on her pedestal
You long for her to fall

Beauty Queen
Living Dream
Beauty Queen
You are not what you seem

There’s something you should know
Behind her glitter glow
The twinkle in her eyes
Is filled with giant lies

(Chorus)

   They all want their piece of you
   They think you’re their dream come true
    If they only knew
    If they only knew

Inside she’s none too real
Skeletons need a meal
One thing for which I pray
She’ll let me walk away

Beauty Queen
Living Dream
Beauty Queen
You are not
You are not
You are not what you seem

For JB.

This isn’t the greatest and best tribute song in the world. It is only a tribute song.

He’s got black hair
Black eyes
Black smile
And his smile lies

Every day is a full moon to you
And your beastly ways
Remember Jack’s a dull, dull boy
Unless he plays

He’s got a dirty aire
Dirty words
Dirty mind
He’s a dirty bird

(Chorus)

Is he good
Or is he bad
I do not care
I want what he’s got
He’s all I need
When he rocks and rolls in his underwear

(Chorus)

Now f**kin’ get it on…

Guitar: Ricardo Valenzuela/Bass: Eddy Ferguson/Keys: Greg Boehme/Drum design: Julie Mains

I see you in my sleepy eyes
I feel you in my bleeding heart
I hear you in my freezing soul

Saying Don’t Go Don’t Go
Don’t Go

I got nothing left for you
I got nothing left to do
I got nothing left to show

But Don’t Go Don’t Go
Don’t Go

   This togetherness
   So far from enough
   Next time I’ll be made of
   Tougher stuff

You don’t chase my blues away
You don’t make life an ease to bear
Why we do this, I don’t know

But Don’t Go Don’t Go
Don’t Go

Guitar: Ricardo Valenzuela/Bass: Eddy Ferguson/Drum design: Julie Mains

Come on over baby Don't say maybe

Make you a special night Dressed up in candlelight

Show you what my love is all about Get on the table and lay it out

Come over I'll show you my Fine China

Gonna come unglued Blow the dust off where it stood

Smother it with love and food Baby you've never had it so good

Never been a set that's finer You will be the only diner

Come over And dirty my Fine China

It's been on the shelf for so long Other clumsy guests bear the blame

But you're the one who inspires me to use it Not lose it/To use it/Not lose it

You know it needs to be used - Oh yeah...

Never seen it in a magazine Things are rarely what they seem

When you're done you can lick it clean Oh Baby tell me you know what I mean

Come over And eat off my Fine China

Guitars: Ricardo Valenzuela/ Bass: Eddy Ferguson/ Drum design: Eddy Ferguson/ Sax: Greg Boehme

Love is my thing
Sing it - Bring it

When I pour myself all over you
With a love so strong and true
It’ll make you re-define yourself and what you thought you knew
(You’ll understand that)

(Chorus)

When the truth it hurts to hear
I will whisper gently in your ear
Reminding you that all that matters is what you think is real
(You’ll really know that)

(Chorus)

There are a million words for hate
Another million words for war
But there’s only one for what I got and what’s worth livin’ for

(Chorus)

   I don’t play games and I don’t call names
   Love is the only thing on which I take a
   If seeing is believing
   Then you are receiving
   The answer you’re seeking is right in the palm of your

Love is my thing
Sing it – Bring it

For Dawn and Chris.

Don’t want no love from you baby
Don’t need tomorrow
Don’t want to be your friend
I need a beginning and end

So save your promises
Don’t feel you need to lie
I only want one thing from you
I’m ready to compromise

   You may not be Mr. Right
   You’re Mr. Right Now
   You may not be Mr. Right
   You’re Mr. Right Now

Don’t need no trouble baby
Don’t need no shame
Don’t need to know who you really are
Don’t need your last name

So keep your compliments
Don’t feel you need to stay
Just give me what I desire
Then please, please go away

(Chorus)

My baby asked me
Do you know why I am three?
And I said tell me
Honey baby
And she said
I’ve been around the sun 123
And when I go once more then I’ll be four

And I asked her
Can you tell me who I love more than I love you?
And she said
Nobody
And I said it’s true
There is no one I love more than
I love you

My son he asked me
Do you know what I will be?
And I said well
Honey baby
And I said
It’s your choice, it ain’t up to me
But make it the thing that sets you free

And I asked him
Can you tell me who I love more than I love you?
And he said
Nobody
And I said it’s true
There is no one I love more than
I love you

My Honey told me
Been married ten together fifteen
And he said
Oh Honey
And he said
What could be better than to live this dream?
For the good and the bad and the in-between

And I asked him
Can you tell me who I love more than I love you?
And he said
Nobody
And I said it’s true
There is no one I love more than
I love you

For EV.

You’re my contrary
Imaginary
Rock Star boyfriend
You’re my dreamy
So unseemly
Rock Star boyfriend

You’re embittered sentimentality
Slices right through me

Eddie Basghetti
Although you never met me
My love is true
Can anybody tell me
Who’s more beautiful than you
Who’s more beautiful than you

You never do
What they want you to
Rock Star boyfriend
I won’t pretend
Cause you’re the living end
Rock Star Boyfriend

My unfortunate technicality
You’re singing right to me

(Chorus)

Eddie Basghetti
Although you never met me
I’ll never let you go
Eddie oh
I love you so
I love you so
I love you so…

I am     judging you       loving you         needing you

Open the door   (There’s only one key)
Open yourself   (to my scrutiny)
I am on high      (I’m hearing your pleas)
Get Down
Get down on your knees
Look up and say cheese

I am     having you        wanting you      needing you

(Chorus)

All roads lead to me
All thoughts lead to me
All acts lead to me
I am your destiny

I am     having you        loving you needing you wanting you needing you            to come thru

Open the door   (There’s only one key)
I am immune       (to your misery)
I am on high      (I’m denying your pleas)
Get Down
Get down on your knees
Look up and say
Look up and say
Look up and say

Guitars: Ricardo Valenzuela/ Bass: Eddy Ferguson/ Drum design: Eddy Ferguson

“In love”
Is a state between two
“In love”
Is what I am with you

I don’t understand the people grasping at straws
Trying to get around some basic fundamental laws
Sometimes love’s just not in season
And never can be without the voice of reason

And for all the people
Who are loving and losing I say
Take heart, take heart
Cause the piece I know
About loving and winning is to
Be smart be smart

“In love”
Is a state between two
“In love”
Is what I make with you

I don’t understand the people telling little lies
Giving what’s broke a thousand more tries
Sometimes love’s just not in season
And never can be without the voice of reason

And for all the people
Who are loving and losing I say
Take heart take heart
Cause the piece I know
About loving and winning is to
Be smart be smart

   Isn’t life hard enough without borrowing trouble
   Stealing your hopefulness and joy
   Everything I say is true
   I’m trying to explain to you the value of what is valuable

For all love’s grand romantic notions
Of climbing mountains and swimming oceans
Voodoo dolls and true love potions
Love letters and blind devotions

Take heart

"Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years" - Richard Bach

Where have you been?
Although we’re just meeting
The sight of you
Starts my heart beating

Where have you been?
I don’t know from where or when
But what a relief
To see you again

Waves crash around me
From an unremembered past
Like silent applause
Whose echo lasts and lasts

Where have you been?
This place, this time
I once was lost
For you to find

I choose this now
We chose before
And will
For evermore

I try to make sense
Of what can’t be explained
Your former absence
Though you’ve been renamed

Find me
No matter where I go
Find me
Look at me and know
Look at me and know
I know
I know
