Lemons Are Not Limes

She came on the bus form a small town in Iowa,
Kissed daddy goodbye said he never should cry for her
A subterranean bar under a hardware store
She’s looking for someone to open a bigger door
He’s divorced from some media mogul’s daughter
Keeping his apartment and the four-door Porsche
Sees the kids when he can but there’s no custody battle
He’s cruising tonight for some brand new baby rattle
Life gives you lemons – better make lemonade
Life offers lessons – better learn from your mistakes
It’s easy to be blind in these uneasy times
Life gives you lemons – better learn that lemons are not limes
He’s stealing in like a samurai warrior
Sealing the deal with a speedboat in Florida
She’s just a little bit taken by his shark fishing stories
Six Ocean Breezes teases morning glory
Life gives you lemons – better make lemonade
Life offers lessons – better learn from your mistakes
It’s easy to be blind in these uneasy times
Life gives you lemons – better learn that lemons are not limes
Oh Miss Confectionary – listen to this cautionary tale
Oh Mr. Elderberry - disappointments happen everyday
Life gives you lemons – better make lemonade
Life offers lessons – better learn from your mistakes
It’s easy to be blind in these uneasy times
Life gives you lemons – better learn that lemons are not limes
Life gives you lemons
Life gives you lemons
Better learn that lemons are not limes
No, lemons definitely are not limes

100 Percent Proof
03:43

My love is one hundred percent proof
The more you get to know it
The closer you get to the truth
My love is wanted
In several counties
My love is haunted
In mansion houses
My love was founded in the fiery molten metal of my youth
My love is one hundred percent proof
The more you get to feel it
The closer you get to the truth
My love is measured
In feet and fathoms
My love is treasured
By pirate phantoms
My love was buried in the beds of garden where the roses grew
And the eyes you see each morning never question or deceive
And the faces in the picture frames are frozen in belief
And the pages of a diary that you started to read, reveal…
My love is one hundred percent proof
The more you get to need it
The closer you get to the truth
My love is perfect
In all its fractures
My love is worthless
Without the scratches
My love was captured in the fleeting moment we first flew
My love was captured in the fleeting moment we first flew
My love is one hundred percent proof
The more you get to know it
The closer you get to the truth
Just like the fleeting moment we first flew.

Mice And Men
03:49
|
|||
Words escape your mouth
Break into my head
“It’s too late for charm,”
That’s what you said, you said
Turns out I suck at this
So stuck inside my own head
I meant you no harm
By what I just said
Should it be like? Should it be love?
Should I hold tight? Should I just push?
Would you be mine? Will you decline?
Did your conclusion just arrive?
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Haunt my dreams - never begin
They must come true every now and then
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Dirt clings to my shoes
So far from the trail
It’s too late to turn
That’s why I fail, I fail
Found out I always missed
Stones thrown in the lake
Sink around the shore
I notice too late
Should it be like? Should it be love?
Should I hold tight? Should I just push?
Would you be mine? Will you decline?
Did your conclusion just arrive?
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Haunt my dreams - never begin
They must come true every now and then
Discover the trust, covered in rust, maybe you just, ran out of lust?
Look at my hands, missing the plans, look at my hands...
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Haunt my dreams - never begin
They must come true every now and then
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Haunt my dreams - never begin
They must come true every now and then
The best laid schemes of mice and men
They must come true in the end
Come true in the end

Summer Of Love Feeling
04:24

Get that summer of love feeling
Mr. Kite was flying high
Get that summer of love feeling
Hanging diamonds in the sky
On a big red London bus
Golden Gate Bridge is calling us
Indian bells still ringing
Donovan is singing (Mad About Saffron)
In a Morris Mini car
Espresso sipping coffee bar
Skinny Twiggy walking
Tony Blackburn talking (wonderful Radio One)
Get that summer of love feeling
Sixty-seven swinging high
Get that summer of love feeling
The wheel and the butterfly
On a big red London bus
Waterloo sunset dazzles us
Terry and Julie kissing
Maharishi winking (I’d love to turn you on)
In a Ford Zephyr MK 4
Flower power painted doors
Daisy chains were linking
Soho lights still blinking (Somebody ban the bomb!)
Oh, oh, heaven knows – you only live twice
Let’s bring back the show – kaleidoscope eyes
Get that summer of love feeling
Get that summer of love feeling
On a big red London bus
Purple Haze wash over us
Maybe I’m still wishing
Something we’ve been missing ( am I the only one?)
Get that summer of love feeling
Get that summer of love feeling
Get that summer of love feeling
Get that summer of love feeling
