"Vertical Man"- Lyrics
"Lend me your ears, and I'll sing you a song..."-Lennon/McCartney
"Life is life, this was just a record"-Ringo Starr
"ONE"
Starkey,Hudson,Grakal,Dudas.
Light is fading darkness coming soon
feeling lonely in this empty room
something's been going wrong
I'm barely holding on and it's true all it takes is
(chorus)
One girl for just one minute
one world but your not in it
one girl All it takes is one.
Lately I find I'm feeling insecure
Is it just me I'm not really sure
Something's been going on
I'm barely holding on
and it's true, all it takes is
(repeat chorus)
It's getting very late
why did she go away
I needed her to stay
look at the state I'm in
Something's been going on
how could I have been so wrong
and it's true
all it takes is you girl for just one minute
my world but your not in it
One girl all it takes is one.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD"
Starkey,Hudson,Grakal,Dudas
I remember it all
that mgical moment I'll never forget
we started to fall
higher and higher in love than I thought I could get
it was so hard to find someone
and then I found you
(chorus)
What in the world would I do
living in a world without you
me and the sky would be blue
bluer than I ever knew
the sun will shine
but there'll be no light
and nothing to look forward to
In a world without you
Just you and I
passionate lovers forever this time
our heart's couldn't lie
never say never whenever you don't want to try
sometimes it's hard but we'll get through
we always have
we always do
(repeat chorus)
Being in love
letting our feelings show
let me tell you again
what you already know
(chorus)
**Special Fact:-Paul McCartney plays bass & does bkgrd.vocals!**
"MINDFIELD"
Starkey,Hudson,Grakal,Dudas.
What's right
who's wrong
everybody take sides
my God
your God
God it's such a fine line
email jump bail
man becomes a female
war vet Dragnet take another percocet
some where in between
there's a world you've never seen
perhaps it's just a dream
but it's so real to me
(chorus)
Livin' in a mindfield
we're walkin' on thin ice
livin' in a mindfield
there's no time to think twice
only we can make it better
let's all get well together
Rock stars
pop stars
livin' in an ant farm
smooth talkin'
cool walkin'
drownin' in your own charm
mystic medicine
Maharishi let us in
way out
weigh in
where the hell have you been?
somewhere in my dream
there's a twilight in between
a place I've been
but never seen
but it's so real to me
(chorus)
Everything you do or say
comes with a price that you must pay
I didn't know that yesterday
Good junk
bad funk
I can see through you
peace love everyone
be your own guru
Mindfield
we're walkin' on thin ice
livin' in a mindfield
there's no time to think twice
livin' in a mindfield
"KING OF BROKEN HEARTS"
Starkey,Hudson,Grakal,Dudas.
Can you guess what I'm thinking of
where's someone that I can love
I just don't know where to start
I'm the king of broken hearts
I was waiting for the bells to ring
my love for her keeps lingering
praying that she'd wear my ring
waiting for the crowd to sing
(chorus)
I'm the king of broken hearts
I've lost before I ever start to love again
I'm the king of broken hearts
I'd give it all away to find a friend
again
Where's the dream I had before
she just walked right out the door
I want her back and nothing more
her note fell on the bedroom floor
(repeat chorus)
A hearts no good when it's been broken
words of love are often spoken
my tears fall like jewels from a crown
look how fast the tide can turn
some people live but never learn
I can make a brand new start
living in a land of broken hearts
(chorus again)
**Special Fact:George Harrison plays slide guitar solo!**
"LOVE ME DO"
Lennon/McCartney
Love love me do
you know I love you
I'll always be true
so please love me do
love love me do
you know I love you
I'll always be true
so please love me do
love me do
someone to love
somebody new
someone to love
someone like you
love love me do
you know I love you
I'll always be true
So please love me do
love me do
"VERTICAL MAN"
Starkey,Hudson,Grakal,Dudas.
When the world is coming down on you
and your back's against the wall
change the glass that you've been looking through
it's only half full after all
if you feel like giving up
if you feel like you've had enough
don't you know
you can come and kick the bottom out
stomp your feet
scream and shout
let it go
let it go
It's never quite as bad as you think it is
'cause every bad day turns around
forgive yourself for all the things you did
the Vertical Man don't lay down
if you feel like giving up
if you feel like you've had enough
let it go
don't you know
come on kick the bottom out
stomp your feet
scream and shout
let it go
let it go
and when the sun comes shining through for you
you'll discover even rainbows have the blues
yes I know it's not news to you
am I getting through to you
If you feel like giving up
don't you know life is tough
let it go
let it go
"DRIFT AWAY"
Williams
Give me the beat boys
give me the beat boys
(chorus)
give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll
and drift away
Day after day I'm more confused
but I look for the light through the pouring rain
you know that's a game that I hate to loose
I'm feeling the strain
aint it a shame
(chorus)
(Tom Petty sings-)
I'm beginning to think that I'm wasting time
and I don't understand the things I do
the world outside looks so unkind
now it's up to you
to carry me through
And when my mind is free
you know the melody can move me
and when I'm feeling blue
the guitars comin' through to
soothe me
(Alanis Morrisette sings-)
thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in the song
the rhythm and rhyme and harmony
you help me along
you're makin' me strong
give me the beat boys
give me the beat boys
(Aerosmith's Steven Tyler also sings!)
I WAS WALKIN'
Starkey,Hudson,Grakal.
I was walkin'
I was talkin'
I was talkin' to myself last night
I was dancin'
I was dancin'
I was dancin' by myself last night
my occupation
is syncopation
and when I hit 'em well it saves my life
I've been a sinner
I've been a winner
my life's better than a roll of the dice
everybody's movin'
everybody's groovin'
goin' through the motions 'cause we don't know what we're doin'
look into the mirror
your the solution
inner peace and love is the only revolution
I look a mirror
I look a mirror
I look a mirror and I'm lookin' alright
I never worry
I never hurry
I'm just livin'
and I'm doin' alright
Everybody's movin' everybody's groovin'
having so much fun
'cause we're happy what we doin'
Look into the mirror
Your the solution
Inner peace and love is the only revolution
I was dreamin', I was talkin'
I was talkin' in my sleep last night
Everybody's movin' everybody's groovin'
having so much fun 'cause we're happy what we're doin'
Look into the mirror- you're the solution
Inner peace and love is the only revolution
I was lookin', I was cookin'
I was cookin' by myself last night
I was dancin', I was dancin'
I was dancin' by myself last night
**Special fact: Paul does Bkgrd. vocals!**
"LA DE DA"
(Starkey/Hudson/Grakal/Dudas)
I live my life, It's only right
'Cause I cant live your life for you
I'm satisfied, feeling high
'Cause I found out just what to do
So you can bet I never let the things I get
Get the best of me
When I get blue here's what I do and so can you
It's no mystery when you sing
(chorus)
LA LA DE DA like que sera sera
whatever LA DE DA
All you gotta say is LA DE DA
You don't need to cry, No reason why
Is ever good enough for me
We can take a walk , Just laugh and talk
Whatever's going to be will be
And when It rains I don't complain
I'm like a train I just keep rollin' on
Sometimes you lose, you blow a fuse you're not immune
To what's been going on- sing along
(Chorus)
And when your down it can be found turn it around
You know the remedy
Just cut some slack and don't look back
'Cause it's a fact it will be OK when you say
(Chorus)
Just like Doris Day said Que Sera
LA LA DE DA LA LA DE DA
LA LA DE DA
All you got to say is LA DE DA
All I gotta say is
All we gotta say is
It's the only way is LA DE DA
** Special fact: Paul sings bkgd. vocals!**
