Track Name: Lartigue
Lartigue

I was sworn to Lartigue
A French maid to Henri
Till you took her away from me

And I loved the way
She used to dust during tea
Till you took her away from me

She’s the kind of girl you see
In a pin-up magazine
Or up on the silver screen

Starring in a famous scene
She gets in the limousine
Showing off her diamond rings

Oh, we had plans to build
A chalet by the sea
Till you took her away from me

Laughing over arguments
Between Nantes and Nice
Till you took her away from me

But at least we could agree
On a different cuisine
Every night of the week

Lartigue please come back to me
How am I supposed to grow old without you?

Lartigue please come back to me
How am I supposed to go on without you?

Lartigue I am eager to please
And in 30 I’ll retire
We’ll be so admired
As we sit and watch the tide
Our ship’s come in
Track Name: Strawberry Country Lullabye
Strawberry Country Lullabye

Strawberry country
The milk is so sweet
You’ll always find me
Here at your feet
But now it’s time to say goodnight
Strawberry country lullabye

Sleep now my baby
A winter is near
The fields begin dying
But momma’s still here
But now we have to say goodnight
Strawberry country lullabye

Finding yourself in a candy colored world
Losing count of the diamonds in the midnight sky
Soldiers on the hillside with hearts made of glass
Disappearing into green plastic bags
Goose stepping ragdolls empty their shells
And the children line up on the bank, lost in their spell

Finding yourself in a candy colored world
Losing count of the diamonds in the midnight sky
Soldiers on the hillside with hearts made of glass
Disappearing into green plastic bags
Goose stepping ragdolls ringing their bells
And the children line up on the banks, lost in

Strawberry country
The ocean’s gone still
Turn out the lights
Good night sweet angel
Remember mother’s watchful eye
Strawberry country lullabye
Track Name: Something Good
Something Good

This morning was a bright one
Girl I can't explain
Those good skies, they were washing all the years away

Yeah, there's something good about today that I can't quite put my finger on

This high wire I've been walking, girl it's left me dry
But I've heard the word, and the seasons are turning and so am I

Yeah, there's something good about today that I can't quite put my finger on

I used to spend my money on a girl uptown
She said that I was lucky just to have her around
I spent so many sorry nights all by myself
As those grey clouds dumped enough to drown away the little luck I had
For the first time in years they were gone

This morning, oh the sunshine, girl I can't explain
Those good good skies they were washing all the tears away

Yeah, there's something good about today that I can't quite put my finger on

I used to spend my money on a girl uptown
She said that I was lucky just to have her around
I spent so many sorry nights all by myself
As those grey clouds dumped enough to drown away the little luck I had
For the first time in years they were gone

Everyone's gotta know, gotta know
Yeah everyone's gotta know
I finally found something good
I finally found something good
I finally found something good
Track Name: Elephants
Elephants

oooooh, oooh, ooooh

Kingdom come and kingdom go
Elephants and a puff of snow
Park the car, turn the radio off
It's all the songs they want you to know

Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Sitting in the sunshine having such a good time
So sorry we have to go
Walking on the pavement
Living off the government
Tomorrow they're gonna know, oh oh

Misery loves company
Won't you sit and have a drink with me
Lazy eye gone wandering
And left me feeling just a little bit empty
Oh
Oh oh oh oh
Sitting in the sunshine having such a good time
So sorry we have to go
Walking through the graveyard
Cutting down the flowers
Tomorrow they're gonna grow, oh oh

Kingdom come and kingdom go
Elephants and a puff of snow
Park the car, turn the radio off
It's all the songs they want you to know

Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

oooooh, oooh, ooooh
Track Name: Wave Of Walls
Wave Of Walls

Look out
Look out and see the world in green and blue
See the universe in bloom
It’s beautiful

I need you
I need you like the sky needs the stars
Like a beat that needs a heart
You’re beautiful

Yeah, like a thorn stuck in my side
Yeah, like an answer I can’t find
Yeah, oh the words escape me
Like a wave of walls
Like a wave of walls

I want you
I want you to know I’m sailing through the storm
To meet you at the shore
Oh yeah

Yeah, like a thorn stuck in my side
Yeah, like an answer I can’t find
Yeah, oh the words escape me
Like a wave of walls
Like a wave of walls

When I’m up
When I’m down
When I can
Not be found
You are there
You are there

Yeah, like a thorn stuck in my side
Yeah, like an answer I can’t find
Yeah, oh the words escape me

And my tears
Start to fall
Like a wave of walls
Like a wave of walls
Like a wave of walls

Look out
Look out and see the world in green and blue
See the universe in bloom
It’s beautiful like you!
Track Name: Chelsea
Chelsea

Chelsea
You know what I need
I need someone
Who can carry me
I can’t help it
The way I feel goes on and on

I said
I know what you what you heard
I’m a heartache
That you don’t deserve
I can’t help it
Cause all I want is you

I know that I’ll love you better
And we could be together
But Chelsea it’s now or never
Can’t you see my love it’s free
Your daddy’s got cash, but it’s not what you need

Chelsea
You’re the sun in my sky
My heart’s melting
And you know why
I can’t help it
I’m hopeless, how you do what you do

Chelsea
You know what I need
I need someone
Who can carry me
I can’t help it
The way I feel goes on and on and on

I know that I’ll love you better
And we could be together
But Chelsea it’s now or never
Can’t you see my love it’s free
Your daddy’s got cash, but it’s not what you need

Chelsea
Chelsea

Chelsea
You know what I need
I need someone
Who can carry me
I can’t help it
The way I feel goes on and on
On and on and on

And on

Track Name: Love Is Here To Stay
Love Is Here To Stay

Love is here to stay
No matter what people say
And love will last for good
Treat others like you should

Cause you never know
Where you might go
And no one can say what will happen today
So love is the only way

Love is here to stay

And love will last for good
Treat others like you should

Cause you never know
Where you might go
And no one can say what will happen today
So love is the only way

Yeah it’s just another corner we can turn
Come on come on gather round

Cause if you grow your hair
And if you hold your neighbor
And if you stay in bed
They may call you crazy
And they may want your head
And they may try to change you
But you know, you know
You know it’s up to you
You know it’s up to you
Yeah, come on come on

Come on come on gather round…….

Cause love is here to stay
No matter what people say
Track Name: She Doesn't Mean A Thing
She Doesn't Mean A Thing

Bubblegum knots in my hair
Might never untangle
Just a kid with a sweet tooth for
More than I can handle

She doesn’t mean a thing
Crossword puzzles, magazines
I lose everything I need
Silver chains and paper planes
Flying through the air
She doesn’t mean a thing

Cavities and bedtime stories
They always put me to sleep
I’ve been under for so long
Just trying to pull myself out

Cause she doesn’t mean a thing
Crossword puzzles, magazines
I lose everything I need
Silver chains and paper planes
Flying through the air
She doesn’t mean a thing
I lose everything I need
She doesn’t mean a thing
Track Name: Pretty Good Shape (For The Shape I'm In)
Pretty Good Shape (For The Shape I'm In)

Walked in on my woman with another man
Coming home from being laid off again
Oh my lord, it don't look good
It seems I just can't win
But I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in

The boys and I were playing ball
I almost broke my neck, but my head broke the fall
The doctor said, it don't look good
But he said with a grin
I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in

My father always told me boy, hold your head up high
Sometimes you land on your feet, sometimes you want to die
Yeah life is rough
But I have learned to take it on the chin
Yeah I'm in pretty good shape, pretty good shape, pretty good shape
For the shape I'm in

Yeah I'm in pretty good shape, pretty good shape, pretty good shape
Pretty good shape, pretty good shape, pretty good shape

Walked in on my woman with another man
Coming home from being laid off again
Oh my lord, it don't look good
My luck is wearing thin
But you ain't about to see me throw the towel in

Cause my father always told me boy, hold your head up high
Sometimes you land on your feet, sometimes you want to die
Yeah life is rough
Good thing I've got a tough, thick skin
Yeah I'm in pretty good shape
I'm in pretty good shape
I'm in pretty good shape, pretty good shape, pretty good shape
For the shape I'm in
Track Name: Good Man
Good Man

Mama told me when I was young
Don’t mess with fire
Always finish what you’ve begun
And don’t deal with liars

Ooooh

Don’t walk too tall, don’t talk too wise
Don’t make dreams your master
She’s been gone for three years now
I can still hear her calling

And when the black clouds come wash over you
Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck
When your soul’s put on trial before the judge
Will you say you were a good man?

Last night as I laid down to sleep
I saw the ghost of my mama
By my bedside praying for me
She said son, your time is coming

But when the black clouds come wash over you
Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck
When your soul’s put on trial before the judge
Will you say you were a good man?

But when the black clouds come wash over you
Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck
When your soul’s put on trial before the judge
Will you say you were a good man?

Were you a good man?
Are you a good man?
