A Girl
(written by: Jasmine Rodgers)
She was the kind of girl
Beauty
You think you know
You know that you want her
Take time don't be afraid
You can always refrain
You can always pay later
Ooh the things you do now
Ooh the way you play now
Ooh
Could've made her
You could've made her
Could've made her
You know you could've made her
She was the kind of girl
Beauty
You think you know
You know that you want her
Fake lights burning bright
Fake fur she wears tonight
You know you can pay later
Ooh the things you do now
Ooh the way you play now
Ooh
Could've made her
You could've made her
Could've made her
You know you could've made her
Could've made her
I know you could've made her
Could've made her
You know you could've made her
Could've made her
You could've made her
Could've made her
I know you could've made her

He's in love with America
He loves the things he sees out there
And if he really loves this place
Then is it for us to care
'Cause what you want you dream of
And what you want you hope for
And what you want you love
He wants to see another dream
And take a chance on another plan now
He wants to feel what it's like to breathe
And feel the breeze from a different air
'Cause what you want you dream of
And what you want you hope for
And what you want you love
And what you want you dream of
And what you want you hope for
And what you want you need
He's in love with another land
He wants to feel what it's like to be there
He wants to dance to another song
And feel the beat from a different rhythm
'Cause what you want you dream of
And what you want you hope for
And what you want you love
And what you want you dream of
And all the things you want
And all the things you need
It's a fairytale that I'll say to you
To make your dreams come true
It's a magic spell, just an old wife's tale
To make your souls feel real
It's the way we walk, it's the way we talk
It's the things that we do
It's a magic spell, just an old wife's tale
To make our souls feel real
It's America or it's India
Anywhere that you want it to be

Moving, moving out
Said too many things to shout
Had enough of you
And the things in life you choose to do
Could've been beautiful
But everything is growing cold
This is now when I grow old
You know it makes me very angry
And I never get so angry
Taking back what was mine
At least I thought so at the time
Everything changes
And I don't know what was before
Something should be there
But I have known and I don't know
This is now when I grow old
You know it makes me very angry
And I never get so angry
This is the last time
I'll take this from you
This is the last time
I'll take this from you
You know it makes me very angry
And I never get so angry
You know it makes me very angry
And I never get so angry
You know you make me very angry...
(Repeats)

Anna Maria
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
I know the dance
I felt the heat
A million faces stared at me
I felt the earth, move to a beat
A million ways in which to sing, ah
And in the mist I saw the mayor
He looked at me with such a glare
And then I danced my secret dance
A million angels sang to me oh
Make sure she will be all right
Make sure she will be fine
A million voices will leave her...
And then the crowd began to sway
A million eyes looking my way
I felt the sun beat on the earth
A thousand ways in which to play, ah
And then I felt one hundred hearts
A million angels smiled at me
And then I danced another dance
As people started to begin
Tell her she will be all right
Tell her she will be fine
A million voices will leave her.

Must be something in the way you move
And the way that you talk and the things that you do
'Cause you're failing to convince me
Your tired eyes are no disguise to the lies that you give
When you try to supply a truth you see
I don't know why
Well you're lying again
Well you're lying
Makes me question what we're fighting for
When the truth seems clear and the proof is near
There's no need for war anyway
Your tired eyes are no disguise to the lies that you give
When you try to supply but you're failing
To surprise me
Well you're lying again
Well you're lying
'Cause believe me, all the things I've seen before
And the things I've been
Believe me, there is so much to see in the world that's free
Believe me, there is no such room for things like greed you see
'Cause believe me, all you need to do is change your reality
Believe me, there is no such thing as greed in reality
Believe me, all the things I have foreseen and I do believe
Well you're lying again
Well you're lying
Tired eyes are no disguise to the way that you move
And the things you do when you're failing to improve
'Cause believe me, there is no such thing as truth in reality
Believe me, all the things I have foreseen and I know I've been
Believe me, there is no such thing as truth in reality
Believe me, there is no such room for this in reality

Who makes the sun shine so bright
Who makes everything feel all right
You do
Who can change the dark to light
Fight for what you know is all right
You do
You do
Courage
Is the name of the game that I play for
Is the hope that has died that I pray for
Is the one that I know I'll die for
Hopeful
All the things that you said that you took away
And the light that you gave that is turning gray
And the things that I know I'm here for
I am the light
I am the soul
I am the one that is willing to fight for what I know
I am the light
I am the soul
I am the one that is willing to fight for...
Conscience throws the gauntlet down
Makes them see you as a clown
You know you wear the crown
Fortune favours those who try
Holds your heart and gives you time
You will see a way through
Courage
Is the name of the game that I play for
Is the hope that has died that I pray for
Is the one that I know I'll die for
Hopeful
All the things that you said that you took away
And the light that you gave that is turning gray
And the things that I know I'm here for
I am the one
I know the soul
I am the one that is willing to go the way
I am the one
I am the soul
I am the one that is willing to go the way
I am the one
I know the soul
I am the one that is willing to go the way
Courage (I am the light)
Is the name of the game that I play for (I am the soul)
Is the hope that has died that I pray for (I am the one that is willing to fight for what I know)
Is the one that I know I'll die for
Courage (I am the light)
Is the name of the game that I play for (I am the soul)
Is the hope that has died that I pray for (I am the one that is willing to fight for...)
Is the one that I know I'll die for
Courage (I am the light)
Is the name of the game that I play for (I am the soul)
Is the hope that has died that I pray for (I am the one that is willing to go the way)
Is the one that I know I'll die for

Daylight, and the night that flows away
Chase the light
Send it back to the day
(Soon the day will fade to gray
Watch the light slowly fade away)
You in my memories
Like the wind
Stir the autumn leaves
(You must be on your guard
Watch the dark when we will part)
I will send for you
Chase the clouds
Throw them up to the sky
(I will be by your side
Like the wind
Stir the autumn leaves)
Call for the wind to blow the moon
Hold her face, long for her embrace
(There will be much to fear
Guard your heart
Keep it by your side)
I call for daylight
I will call for daylight
I have need of the light
Bring it soon
Call the ones we know
(There will be a time to choose
Choose it well
This will be your path)
Hold the light in your heart
See the night
Let it glow
(Shape a bird to fly away
Send it far
Tell it where to go)
I will call the moon
(I will hold the moon)
See the day begins again
Find the truth hold it close to you
(There will be a time to choose
Hold your heart
Throw it up to the sky)
I call for daylight
I will call for daylight
I call for daylight
I will call for daylight
Daylight will show...

Deeply
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
Darling, I've gotta talk to you
About the things you've been putting me through now
I've gotta talk to you
I've gotta be explained to
Feelings, they're really burning now
They're burning higher than they've ever done before
I need to talk to you, I need to feel it deeply
You're actions now, they're really driving me
Driving me into a deep bed of insanity
You need to talk to me
You need to feel it deeply
Don't be afraid to say it
Don't be afraid to say it
The words that you might tell me
Could never hurt me oh no
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
I've gotta feel it deeply, deeply now
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
And the words come tumbling from me
Feelings, they're really burning now
They're burning higher than they've ever done before
I need to talk to you, I need to feel it deeply
Sometime now you gotta come round
To the way that I been feeling about you now
I gotta talk to you, I gotta be explained to
Don't be afraid to say it
Don't be afraid to say it
The words that you might tell me
Could never hurt me oh no
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
I've gotta feel it deeply, deeply boy
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
And the words come tumbling from me
Don't be afraid to say it
Don't be afraid to say it
The words that you might tell me
Could never hurt me oh no
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
I've gotta feel it deeply, deeply now
I've gotta feel it, I've gotta feel it
And the words come tumbling from me.

Drinking
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
You say the drinking is better than a woman
And you say the thinking takes too much time
Well God save your children should you have them
For, to you, there's nothing if there's no wine
Oh you have so much more
Oh where has your time gone
Oh where has your time gone
Oh you have so much more
You sing like an angel
Your voice melts my heart
Your words are wisdom
Your life has been hard
And, should you ever wonder
Where all the time has gone,
You'll find the answer
Far away from home
Oh you have so much more
Oh where has your time gone
And I don't want to see you like this
When you're crawling please
'Cause I will shape the day
And make you feel all right
But you say the drinking
Is better than a woman
And you say the thinking
Takes too much time
You sing like a siren
Your voice breaks my heart
And when you are crying
Your tears are like wine
Oh you have so much more
And I don't want to see you like this
When you crawling.

___________________Duvet______________________________
And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all
And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame then I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
and you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting , I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
------
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting , I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
----
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting , I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe.

Elephant
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
If I was to hold one hand over my face now
Would you know me?
Or would you see the other side of me?
And if you were to notice
There is a plan I've been devising
To go, to go now, far away from here
And I gonna be so brave
And I gonna go so far away
Where are the wise men?
Where have they all gone to
Did they follow the spirit children
Down the road that only they know?
And you and I know that the answer lies
Somewhere deep in the city of skies
We're gonna go there
We're gonna go there
We're gonna see the daylight
And I, gonna fly away now
And I, gonna go where the path runs high
Oh, I'm searching, Oh yeah.
I'm gonna go there, I'm gonna travel
I'm gonna see my through and
You can follow
We can go together
Trunk in hand we're gonna go
Isn't it touching the way the trees hold the leaves
Into the sky
And when the breeze blows
All you can see is the green and gold
You and I know that the city holds, the street night lights
And we're gonna find it
We're gonna find the gold that illuminates our lives
And I, gonna go so far away
And I, gonna see the stars up high
Hear me out, hear me out
I'm searching
Hear me out, yeah
We can go there, we can travel
Over the motorway, over the valley
All the way there with your gentle spirit
I am not afraid
With your gentle spirit
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid.

Fool
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
I was born and raised
As an eastern girl in a western world
I was told to choose
To choose to be what I chose to be
Speaking impartially
There doesn't seem to be a place for me
But when I look inside I find
A place to run to hide
I was born to love
A distant land and a rising sun
I was born to love this
Green and pleasant land
Which way should I turn?
Cos I seem to fall towards burning
But when I look inside I find the place
To cry, to fly, to die
You and I, born as fools now
You and I think, think we rule now
Now I see the world
As an ancient place as a smiling face
I can choose to be
What I want to be if I choose to be
Speaking impartially
If the smile grows cold without me
I know a secret place to cry, to fly,to die, to try
You know I'm burning in a flame now
Now I see the world
As an ancient place as a smiling face
Now I see the world
As a place where I can run to hide to
Which way should I turn?
Cos I seem to fall towards burning
But when I look inside I find the place
To try, to hide, to fly
You and I, born as fools now
You and I think, think we rule now
You and I, born as fools now
You and I think, think we rule now.

For Jasmine
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
Written for Jasmine Henderson
I am watching you
Watching the way you watch people do
The things that they do
As you grow older - learning
Child understanding
About the way that a soul on a soul on a soul can be born
Can be beautiful
Child, understanding
I see the smile that lights your face
When you understand and realise,
Oh child, in this world
Strange how we forget the things that made us first smile
Ho hey, never stop learning
Ho hey, never stop wandering
Baby's growing older
Oh my child never stop learning
And I'm learning too
About the way that people do
The things that they do
Never meaning to hurt anyone
But we all do things we regret
And wish we'd never done
Oh child, and there you are
Wandering through the garden of life
Picking up flowers and eating them
And the world will smile when you smile
And we all have smiles inside of us
Ho hey, never stop learning
Ho hey, never stop wandering
Baby's growing older
Oh my child never stop learning
Now baby, baby, yeah- don't you ever stop learning
Baby, baby, yeah- don't you ever stop learning.

I must try to keep my focus
I know that there is much for me to do
Try to remember what it is I came for
Keep my hopefulness for a different view
I must try to keep my focus, and I know
I must try to keep my head together
I might not be there when you need me but
I must try to keep my head down
Chasing dreams can make you lose your way
Chasing love can make your soul fade
I don't want to push you all away
There is something I must do I know
I must try to keep my focus, and I know
I must try to keep my head together
I might not be there when you need me but
I must try to keep my head down
Chasing dreams can make you lose your way
Sit by me and just enjoy the day
I must try to keep my focus, and I know
I must try to keep my head together
I might not be there when you need me but
I must try to keep my head down

Little Miss
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
Little Miss Miss she's had some troubles but
She's gonna sort it out early in the morning
And when you come home
You're gonna watch her sleep and hold her close
And stroke her face
In the morning
You're gonna stare at her
And wonder why you feel the way you do now
But she will hold you and reach out to touch you
And never never never hurt your heart
Oh it's easy but it's just too easy for you now
She gives you everything but
That's not what you wanna do
And in the morning, when she wakes up
You walk away now, you don't turn around
But she holds you
She holds you in her heart
She'll never let you go
In the evening, when you come home
You save the whisky and you talk about your dreams
And you hold her when she cries 'cause
She's feeling lonely - the same way you do
When you're feeling the way you're feeling now
You hold the pillow and you think about her
And when she holds you, your cold stare melts
And your heart warms to her
Oh this girl - she's got to you and you're afraid of it
She gives you everything but that's not what you wanna do
And in the morning, you're just gonna turn around
You're break it - you're gonna break the bond
You're gonna smash the bottle of whisky
And after all the things that she told you
You're gonna make love like you never have
You're gonna make it feel like she meant nothing to you
She's gonna cry now and wonder why now
The way you make her feel
But Little Miss Miss she's having problems
But she's gonna make it - she's a strong one
And your heart - well- it's already melted
But she will never dissolve
In the morning - she's gonna make love
She's gonna make it like she's never done before
She's gonna scare you with her passion
She's gonna make it seem like she don't care
She's gonna hold you close
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make it feel like you don't care
You're gonna need her
She's gonna love you
And melt your cold stare
Hello hello.

Taking a breath
Find the truth and be older
Making me feel
Like I feel when I'm younger
Younger
Now take this life
Show the way you can
Hear me, I
I'm older
Taking a breath
Feeling like when I walkabout
Hear me, I
I'm old
England, your fields warm me
Make me breathe and I'm feeling old
England, live your life to be free
Will you be with me
Take a breath when you breathe

You know what you need
You need what you need
As far as I can see
Time could've made it
Life could've breaked it
But you know me
I could've been there
You know I been there
Now I'm here again
I could've been there
You know I been there
Now I'm here again
Take me or break me
Make me feel alive
Make me and take me
Make me feel alive
Home on a run now
I'm on a gun now
I've seen it all
You know you seen me
You want to be me
I am there on that wall
Everything you need
You know that I have
All the things you want
Loving you lately
You know I love you
You know that I do
Make me or take me
You know you need to feel
Love me or leave me
You know you really need
All the time
Love me, leave me
All the things that
You know you wanted
You can have them from me
I know I love you
You know I need you
And you want to be free
You know you seen me
You know you need me
Time will change
When I am through
Love me or leave me
You know you need me
Take the time to see
I'm on the wall

One Day
Lyrics by Steve Rodgers
Music by bôa
Last night I felt it
Burning through my mind
I just wanna be your friend
And I want you to know
In the light of a new day
I left it all to you
In the light of confusion
I love you
Today I am stronger
In so many ways
I just wanna be there
And I want you to see
In the light of a new day
Left it all to you
I'm just looking for a way out
And something else to do
I can feel it in my bones
That I need it
Don't you see it
I am flying over the mountains
Do you feel it
I won't be happy till you're out the door
You won't be happy till you get some more
You need me
You love me
I won't be happy till you're out the door
You won't be happy till you get some more
You need me
You love me, you love me.

I walked into the room
I saw things I'd never seen
The world was different then
We were so young
But oh, how we change
Our lives
They can sometimes seem so strange
How could you do this
You were so young
Hold on
I wish that you had held on
I wish that I had been the one
To help you hold on
Asleep in the bath
You watched the New Year passing by
The fireworks in your hands
You never questioned why
But oh, tired, weary
This life can sometimes seem
How could you do this
You were so young
Hold on
I wish that you had held on
I wish that I had been the one
To help you hold on
Hold on
I wish that you had held on
I wish that I had been the one
To help you hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on...
I wish that you had held on, and on, and on, and on...
Hold on...

Rain
Lyrics by Alex Caird
Music by bôa
Friend of mine, sex is child inside
Adored by that sex, soaked in wine
The dark world we hide
Paint the child to entice...
Rain, suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Falling into gutters, they splash their remains
----
What is night without stars?
What is dark about the heart?
What's in the park, we're not there anyway
Rain, suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain...
I can't be bothered, I can't be bothered, I can't be bothered
----
Friend of mine, sex is child inside
Adored by that sex, soaked in wine
The dark world we hide
Paint the child to entice...
Rain, suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Falling into gutters they... splash their remains.

Scoring
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
Score the lines in a deepening order
Score them deep just to make sure you told her
Destructive rage, it's just easier to be that way
At least you never have to eat the words you say
I take pleasure in being all alone
I save passion in making it on my own
I will never be, taken by your humility
I will never fall on my knees
Bear the weight of the world as you told her
But it weighs heavy on a wounded shoulder
Sow the petals on a dying flower
At least you know that she will stay in your power
I take pity, on those who can't see clearly
You take pleasure, in making it hard to see
I will never be taken by your humility
I will never fall on my knees
Make sure she's breathing
Make sure she's feeling
Make sure she's responding to you now
So you can tell her the score
Make sure she's breathing
Make sure she's feeling
Make sure she's responding to you now
So you can hurt her all the more
I will never be beaten by your brutality
I will never be shaken by your stupidity.

When you go I will be
Where you want me to be
If you need me I will
Be standing by
By, standing by
You know you make me smile
I hope I can make you smile
If you need a warning I will
Be standing,
standing by
You saw the monsoon
The rain was tumbling
And we danced 'cause we were
We were laughing
You know
Before you
If you need me
We picked flowers in the
Morning long time ago
Do you remember when
The things you do with your friends
There could be a day when
There could be a day when
I will be there when
There could be a day when
There could be
If you need me I could
Be wherever you need me
You know you don't need to
See or hear me don't you
Standing by
Catch the light and show you the way
Be the one to stop you being afraid
Make the trees to where you when you wish
Give you everything you need
Be the one to hold you when you cry
Let you know that you're really wise (standing)
Make sure that you want to be strong (by)
Be here when you need me along
Standing by...
Standing by...
Standing by...

Twilight
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
Your word and my word and your word is
Tomorrow, today and yesterday
But it's a necessary evil
And you will find your way there
Your feelings and mine are all holy and
You give me an inner sanctity
You feel the same way that I do for you, about her
Your word and my word and her word is
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
And twilight gives me
An inner sanctity
And you're feeling
And you're hungry for her
And you don't understand it
But you know you haven't planned it
Your feelings and mine are all lonely
And dawn comes you're there lying with me
And you reach out to touch me
But I am in the twilight
Your feelings and mine are all holy but,
You know and I know it's untrue because
When day dawns you're there lying with me
And the dawn can fly away
And you know I love you but you know that
There's nothing you can do about it
Because you love her,
And you still want me
If I could be her...
But I'm not her and she's not me
And you're somewhere different
On a different planet
And you still want it
The inner sanctity
And it's an evil
But the evil is necessary
And you're still hungry for her
And you still want her loving
But she doesn't love you.

Maybe I've been trying too hard
'Cause I think I may be failing
'Cause I aim too high, when I'm feeling low
Should be what I'm trying to do
Is to get my way back through
But I don't know how and I end up feeling
Wasted – feel nothing
Wasted
Wasted – feel nothing
Wasted
Wasted all the strength I had
To make myself feel underground
And I don't know how
'Cause it keeps me open
Waiting for a new beginning
To free me from the one I was and I know I've been
'Cos I don't feel clean
I've wasted – feel nothing
Wasted
Wasted – feel nothing
Wasted
Maybe all I have to do is
Is to find my way back through
And to see the light that comes from you
And maybe all I need to feel is
Is that I can really fly away and I have my wings
And I'm aiming high
I've wasted – nothing
Wasted
Wasted – nothing
Wasted
I've wasted
Wasted
I've wasted
Wasted
I have wasted...
I have wasted...
I have wasted...

Welcome
Lyrics by Jasmine Rodgers
Music by bôa
Dedicated to the memory of Dan Martin
If you said it, and said it clearly
It would be heard by me
If you felt it, felt it in your heart
If your mind inside was like mine
You would find and see me
You would be welcome in my dreams
You would be welcome...
We have argued till we are black and blue
Nothing to say this is what I tell you
Happiness is as freedom
It is welcome
If you saw this,
You would know this is the truth
All of your hopes inside are lonesome
Without me, inside of you
I feel the world calling - I will wait for you
Oh, how you are dear to me
If you knew this you would see, this is the truth
You would be welcome to my dreams
You would be welcome...
No man can save the world, it takes a woman
No woman can save the world, it takes a man
Welcome...
You'd be welcome
No man welcome
No woman welcome
Mmm no woman, no man.
