This is lyric #500
KISS KISS
by Andrea Louise
The atmosphere is perfect
there's free drink and food
and everyone is doing what we're here to do
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
It's wonderful to see you!
Did you cut your hair?
You say your label dropped you?
Who's that over there?
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
I feel bad about it, darlin' - honestly;
it's such a dreadful shame
But better you than me
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
I think it's unprofessional to call me rude
I've simply got a winning player's attitude
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
Your status is advanced upon the friends you choose
the trick is knowing who to shmooze and who to lose
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
You wanna play the game, you gotta know the rules:
You play the game to win or else you're just a fool
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
Unlike so many people in this industry,
you always know exactly where you stand with me.
The mark of a true artist is to be sincere
you manufacture that, you're on your way, my dear
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
It's been a real pleasure to have met you here
you're thoroughly delightful and the reason's clear
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
You know just how to listen so responsively
too bad the only topic of our chat was me
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
I long to hear your thoughts and your philosophy
C'mon and tell me 'bout yourself:
What do you think of me?
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss
They tell me I should be concerned about a fall
My answer is that it concerns me not at all
I'll always be on top because I live by this:
I know which cheek to turn
and I know whose to kiss
Like this
Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss - Kiss Kiss

The Highway's Heart
by Vic Moraga, ASCAP
(c) 2004
Been catching air for a change
Maybe I'll see Montreal
I hear the train to Canada's
So very quiet
Bending 'round snow
Through northern fog
Simple reasons find me staying
But a fever gets my soul
Craving for The Highway's Heart
The Highway's Heart,
The Highway's Heart
Compassion thrives on the road
Compassion thrives on the road
My friends have been settling
Down this coastline
They're calling it their own
I've tried to anchor down myself
But this fever won't let me go
And I ain't never been to Mexico
I hear her winter arms are warm
There's an unfulfilled spirit
And it's in my life
I leave it behind
On the road
Simple reasons find me staying
But a fever gets my soul
Craving for The Highway's Heart,
The Highway's Heart
Compassion thrives on the road
Compassion thrives on the road
And I ain't never been to Mexico
I hear her winter arms are warm
There's an unfulfilled spirit
And it's in my life
I leave it behind on the road
On the road

93 MAIDENS
Rachael Sage
© 2005
I am a maiden, one of ninety-three
but I won't die the least bit mysteriously
I go to school in the town of Warsaw
today they came for us all
I am a girl but they are not men
I am a woman but don't know it yet
I have a brother, but don't know his name
he was born in the barracks in shame
mama where are you, where have you gone
I need you with me to drink the poison
for I'm nobody's martyr, only your daughter
I'll meet you when I reach heaven
one of them spoke with a terrible voice, he said:
"make yourselves beautiful, you have no choice!
we'll come for your refinery soon -
by tomorrow we'll blacken the moon..."
mama where are you, where have you gone
I need you with me to drink the poison
for I'm nobody's martyr, only your daughter
I'll meet you when I reach heaven
blessed art though oh Lord our G-d
King of the universe...there I must stop -
what is the blessing for taking our lives
so that we won't become our enemies wives
mama where are you, where have you gone
I need you with me to drink the poison
for I'm nobody's martyr, only your daughter
I'll meet you when I reach heaven
...I'll meet you when I reach heaven

Heaven Help the Wandering Soul
Richard E. Abath
© 2005 Gbird Music
(V1)
I was sitting in a coffee shop in Springfield
I was going over the past ten years
Thinking I’d seen more of life than I ever wanted
When I heard a voice whispering in my ear
(Chorus)
Heaven help the wandering soul
Rootless and living life out on parole
Without any kind of home to go back to
Without any kind of comfort than the road
Heaven help the wandering soul
(V2)
Well I grew up restless and I yearned to travel
And the years they rolled on past me like highway miles
Now I’m broke down in the desert and hitchhiking
And there’s nothing I wouldn’t give for a friendly smile
(V3)
But don’t the moonlight look so pretty on the mesa
But don’t the mesa look just like a prison yard
And I swear I can hear the voices calling
Of everyone I’ve left behind so far
(chorus)
(V4)
Well I’m sitting in a hotel room in Barstow
Listening to the trucks on the freeway moan
Harmonizing with every shifting gear
And wondering just where the hell I’m going
(chorus)

This is lyric #505
Fancy Words
She rubbed her eyes and looked around
Just as the sun was rising.
She saw the note he’d left her
In the early morning silence.
At first she cursed,
But then she smiled.
Then she started crying.
She memorized four simple lines
That set her heart on fire….
“I’m not real good with fancy words
that a woman likes to hear.
But I would like to wake up every day
and have you near.
If you can tolerate me,
I swear that I’ll be true.
And I’m really glad I got
to spend my time with you.”
She held the door and looked outside
Just as the moon was rising.
She took the note and flowers from him
As he stood in silence.
At first she cursed,
But then she smiled.
Then she started crying.
She recognized four simple lines
That set her heart on fire….
“I’m not real good with fancy words
that a woman likes to hear.
But I would like to wake up every day
and have you near.
If you can tolerate me,
I swear that I’ll be true.
And I’m really glad I got
to spend my time with you.”
She closed her eyes and laid her head
Down upon his shoulder.
She thought about the years
They’d spent together growing older.
He’d made her curse,
She’d made him smile.
She’d even seen him crying.
Through all the years – the joys and fears –
He kept her heart on fire… (by saying)
“I’m not real good with fancy words
that a woman likes to hear.
But I would like to wake up every day
and have you near.
If you can tolerate me,
I swear that I’ll be true.
And I’m really glad I got
to spend my time with you.”
…And I’m really glad I got
to spend my life with you.”
