1. CAVE IN

[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]


Please take a long hard look through your textbook
'Cause I'm history
When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone
'Cause I've been dying to leave

Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide
All my loose change in my bedroom
'Cause riding a dirt bike down
A turnpike always takes its toll on me

I've had just about enough of quote
"Diamonds in the rough"
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

If the bombs go off, the sun will still be shining
Because we've heard it said that
Every mushroom cloud has a silver lining
Though I'm always undermining too deep to know

Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
'Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline

I'll soak up the sound, try to sleep on the wet ground
I'll get ten minutes give or take
'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake

Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

I'll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in
'Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe

Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track
And if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away
Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back
I won't even look back...

2. THE BIRD AND THE WORM



[Songwriters: Theissen, Matt; Young, Adam;]


If you're the bird whenever we pretend it's summer
Then I'm the worm, I know the part, it's such a bummer
But fair is fair, if my segments get separated
I'll scream and you'll be there

Close your eyes, close my eyes
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder
And feel the shine, feel the shine
I'm hooked so toss me over and cast a line, oh I'll try
Oh, throw a party and greet my undersea friends
It depends, as they arrive, if they arrive

You and I left our troubles far behind, troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these well, who needs enemies

If I'm your boy, let's take a short cut we remember
And we'll enjoy, picking apples in late September
Like we've done for years
Then we'll take a long walk through the corn field
And I'll kiss you between the ears

If you're my girl, swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us, as love sweeps over the room
'Cause we tend to make each other blush, you make me blush

You and I left our troubles far behind, troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these well, who needs anemones?

You're the bird and I'm the worm and it's plain to see
That we were meant to be

We were meant to be
We were meant to be

If you're the bird
If you're the bird
Then I'm the worm
We were meant to be

3. THE SALT WATER ROOM



[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]


I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay on the shore
Staring up at the stars that aren't there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

So like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently
Before you happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground

All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue, farewell with your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Time together isn't ever quite enough
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Only time, only time

Can you believe that the crew has gone?
And they wouldn't let me sign on
All my islands have sunk in the deep
And I can hardly relax or even oversleep

When I feel warm with your hand in mine
When we walk along the shoreline
I guess we'll never know why sparrows love the snow
We'll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
Yeah, all the time, all the time

Time together isn't ever quite enough
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Only time, only time

When we're apart what ever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time, all the time

Time together isn't ever quite enough
When we're apart what ever are you thinking of?
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time, oh, all the time

4. DENTAL CARE


[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]


I brush my teeth and look in the mirror
And laugh out loud as I'm beaming from ear to ear
I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights
And rather than flaunt my style
I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly whites

I've been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill, I smooth my hair
Sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills

"Have a seat", he says pleasantly
As he shakes my hand and practically laughs at me
"Open up nice and wide", he says peering in
And with a smirk he says, "Don't have a fit
This'll just pinch a bit", as he tries not to grin

When hygienists leave on long vacations
That's when dentists scream
And lose their patience

Talking only brings the toothaches on
Because I say the stupidest things
So if my result goes south
I'll swallow my pride with an Aspirin
And shut my mouth

Golf and alcohol don't mix
And that's why I don't drink and drive
Because good grief, I'd knock out my teeth
And have to kiss my smile goodbye

I've been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill, I smooth my hair
Sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills

5. METEOR SHOWER



I can finally see that
you're right there beside me.
I am not my own,
for I have been made new.
Please don't let me go,
I desperately need you.
I am not my own,
for I have been made new.
Please don't let me go,
I desperately need you.

6. ON THE WING



[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]


Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
And we'll stir the stars around
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
And plummet out of sight and sound.

The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
Where I live in the Alpine heights
Below the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nights
Alone, awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love.

Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
But photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside.

I wish the rockets stayed over the promenade
'Cause I would make a hook and eye
And fish them from the sky, my darling, she and I
We're hanging on so take us high to sing the world goodbye.

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere.

Are you there?
Are you there or are you just a decoy dream in my head?
Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone?

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there?

7. FIRE FLIES



[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]


You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

8. THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG



[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]



Welcome back winter once again
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater
'Cause you'll feel much better when

The snowflakes fall gently to the ground
The temperature drops and your shivers
Freeze all the rivers around
But I keep you warm

If speed's a pro, inertia must be a con
'Cause the cold wind blows
At precise rates
When I've got my ice skates on

If all the roads were paved with ice
That wouldn't thaw or crack
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska
Then on to Alaska and back
'Cause you keep me warm

Peer over the edge, can you see me?
Rivulets flow from your eyes
Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall
And your lungs crystallize

I'll travel the sub-zero tundra
I'll break glaciers and frozen lakes
And that's just the tip of the iceberg
I'll do whatever it takes to change

Farewell powdery paradise
We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice
Fingers failed us before they froze
Frostbite bit down on all our toes

Snow drifts build up and enfold us
As we wait in this winter storm
So we snuggle close in the darkness
And keep each other so warm.

9. VANILLA TWILIGHT




[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]


The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

10. TIDAL WAVE



[Songwriters: Theissen, Matt; Young, Adam;]



I wish I could cross my arms
And cross your mind 'cause I believe
You'd unfold your paper heart
And wear it on your sleeve

All my life I wish I broke mirrors
Instead of promises
'Cause all I see is a shattered conscience
Staring right back at me

I wish I had covered all my tracks completely
'Cause I'm so afraid
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel
Or just the train?

Lift your arms, only Heaven knows
Where the danger grows and it's safe to say
There's a bright light up ahead
And help is on the way, help is on the way

I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me

Depression, please cut to the chase
And cut a long story short
Oh, please be done, how much longer
Can this drama afford to run?

Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties
And breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes
Just pull me back down again

I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me

Then I was given grace and love
I was blind but now I can see
'Cause I found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me

It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in

The end is uncertain
And I've never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope
To see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave

DEBBY SALOMAN:: CODE OF LOVE AND 9 MORE









1. CODE OF LOVE

[ SONG WRITERS: KEMP, GARY]

He put so much intro her life
She took so much out of his
It was a crucial assignment
No one ever asked for this.
It was a little confusing
He thought he knew what to do
But now they are walking in silence
Little girl,and soldier blue
Well she wrote you a song saying that
she approved
But you did not understand
And when love comes along it's just a
catcher in the rye
Its hard to make those long term plans.
Well it's the Code of Love
You don"t understand her.
well it's the Code of Love
You could never ask for more.
They made a certain agreement
He's bound to do what he's told
He ran back home with the message
Screwed up in a pocket cold.
She sat at home with her reason
A sour note and a tear.
But love comes home for the season
Breaking down the walls of fears
Well it's the Code of love.
Well it's the Code of Love
You don"t understand her.
well it's the Code of Love
You could never ask for more.

2. ECSTASY

What a struggle

To get to where I am

Here's a puzzle

Can the lion love the lamb

Who wrote the script

Of my poor live

The pages I've ripped

With a tear stained knife.

But now I'm feeling ecstasy

This is what you do to me

Baby when you give your loving to me

Yes I'm feeling ecstasy.

This is really new to me

I can't believe you're making me so happy

It took courage

I didn't know I had

I was so undernourished

I needed you so bad

But my wings were clipped

I was incomplete

If I nearly slipped

Well I stayed on my feet


And now I'm feeling ecstasy

This is what you do to me

Baby when you give your loving to me

Yes I'm feeling ecstasy

This is really new to me

I can't believe you're making me so happy

It's a natural high

Nothing artificial

Baby you and I

Are beneficial

And now I'm feeling ecstasy

This is what you do to me

Baby when you give your loving to me

Yes I'm feeling ecstasy

This is really new to me

I can't believe you're making me so happy

Audio



3. HOLE IN THE SKY


hole in the sky

Imagine a world

Without fear of loneliness

Where a little girl

Has dreams of love and happiness

Now rip that apart

Picture the pain inside her heart

Maybe you'll see

That little girl turned into me

And what do I have to do

For you I'd dance the seven veils

So why am I losing you

The prince from all my fairy tales

There's a hole in the sky where love must go

There's a tear in my eye with more to flow

There's no way on earth I will ever know

Why love should fly out through the sky

There's a hole in the sky where love must go

There's a tear in my eye with more to flow

There's no way on earth I will ever know

Why love should fly out through the sky

Will I ever know

Why love should fly

Out through the sky

I always feel

Like I'm speeding on a train

And nothing is real

It's all TV in my brain

Consider our love

Was it true or just made up

One minute it's there

Then it's gone into thin air


And what do I have to do

For you I'd dance the seven veils

So why am I losing you

The prince from all my fairy tales

There's a hole in the sky where love must go

There's a tear in my eye with more to flow

There's no way on earth I will ever know

Why love should fly out through the sky

There's a hole in the sky where love must go

There's a tear in my eye with more to flow

There's no way on earth I will ever know

Why love should fly out through the sky

Why love should fly

Out through the sky

Where love must go

There's more to flow

Will I ever know

Why love should fly

Out through the sky

Why love should fly

Will I ever know

4. I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS

Look into my eyes

Can you see the memories of a thousand sad goodbyes

Every one is real

And I can express the way that each one made me fee

But I know

I know that I

I don't know

How to tell you why

I can't find the words

There's nothing I can say

So I'll fly like the birds

Silently away

And you'll never know

How I loved you

How I loved you

How I loved you

How I loved you

You must be to blame

All I ever wanted

Was for things to stay the same

Maybe I can be

Hard to live with at times

But I have to think of me

But I know

I know that I

I don't know

How to tell you why

I can't find the words

There's nothing I can say

So I'll fly like the birds

Silently away

And you'll never know

How I loved you

How I loved you

How I loved you

But I know

I know that I

I don't know

How to tell you why

I can't find the words

There's nothing I can say

So I'll fly like the birds

Silently away

And you'll never know

How I loved you

How I loved you

How I loved you

How I love you


Audio

5. I STILL LOVE YOU


Nowhere to go

Nothing to do

Half of my life walked out with you

The end of the road

You've driven me to is terribly dark

Somehow I'm sure

I've been here before

I feel like I'll stay forever more

There's no-one here to make me secure

Or help me at all

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe I'm right

But my feelings I will hide

I won't let you know

I won't let you know

That although hope is dying

Through my tears I'm crying

I stil love you

WIth all my heart and soul

Your love was good

But in the end

It wasn't real

Only pretend

'Coz you said I could always depend

On you being here

What can I say

You're not here today

Oh no you just went away

Now I can see my destiny

Was never with you

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe I'm right

But my feelings I will hide

I won't let you know

I won't let you know

That although hope is dying

Through my tears I'm crying

I still love you

With all my heart and soul

Although hope is dying

Through my tears I'm crying

I still love you

With all my heart and soul

I thought I was the one

I felt my life had just begun

But I'm afraid

I was betrayed

Do you realize

That although hope is dying

Through my tears I'm crying

I still love you

With all my heart and soul


And although hope is dying

Through my tears I'm crying

I still love you

With all my heart and soul

Although hope is dying

Through my tears I'm crying

I still love you

With all my heart and soul

6. LOVE BITE



I'm going to make my mark on you

I'm going to tell you what I promise I will do

I'm going to take your breath away

So look out for me coz this is not a game I play

I want to wake up with you lying next to me

After one big night of total ecstasy

I know I've made mistakes before

But I'm certain you're the good guy I've been looking for

This time I know I've got it right

I'm going to give you something you'll like tonight

And you will feel whenever I hold you tight

A love bite

The flames of passion in our eyes

Could light a fire to illuminate the skies

And in the heavens up above

Must be a million stars

Waiting to announce our love

I want to wake up with you lying next to me

After one big night of total ecstasy

I know I've made mistakes before

But I'm certain you're the good guy I've been looking for

This time I know I've got it right

I'm going to give you something you'll like tonight

And you will feel whenever I hold you tight

A love bite

Tell me that you feel the same way in your heart

If you don't this love is never gonna start

I just wanna make you happy if I can

Coz you're the only one for me there is no other man

This time I know I've got it right

I'm going to give you something you'll like tonight

And you will feel whenever I hold you tight

A love bite...

Audio


7. LOVE ME FROM EVERY ANGLE

Do you want to hold me

Do you want to hold me tight

I'll make it happen

I'll make it happen here tonight

Come along to my place

There's an open door

Try to keep up your pace

I want more and more

Love me from every angle

Touch me anywhere

Thrill me when we're in a tangle

Baby will you dare

My body's been waiting

Waiting for a man like you

Stop hesitating

You know you've got a job to do

Come along to my place

There's an open door

Try to keep up your pace

I want more and more

Love me from every angle

Touch me anywhere

Thrill me when we're in a tangle

Baby will you dare

Feel the warmth of my skin

Love Me

Touch Me

Thrill Me

Will you dare

Pure electricity

All the heat I'm giving

Could be yours for free

Love me from every angle

Touch me anywhere

Thrill me when we're in a tangle

Baby will you dare

8. PICTURE OF YOUR LOVE





Tell me your story

Promise me it’s true

I need to know

All about you

All of your secrets

Everything in your past

Enough to show me

The real you at last

If I could paint a picture of your world

Would I be in it as the only girl

And would it be a picture of your love for me

And if I should create a work of art

With the love I have for you in my heart

Is there any more romantic I can be



Hiding your feelings

Time and again

You are allowed to say

“I love you” now and then

I’m always guessing

It’s a mind game

One I’ll never win

But I play it all the same

If I could paint a picture of your world

Would I be in it as the only girl

And would it be a picture of your love for me

And if I should create a work of art

With the love I have for you in my heart

Is there any more romantic I can be

Paint a picture of your love

Paint a picture of your love

Paint a picture of your love

A picture of your love for me

I’m no Picasso

But I think you know what I’m trying to say

If I was Leonardo

I couldn’t have done it any other way

Across the stream

The shadows fade into the light

It’s like a dream

Every colour seems so bright

On the texture of my canvas

If I could paint a picture of your world

Would I be in it as the only girl

And would it be a picture of your love for me

And if I should create a work of art

With the love I have for you in my heart

Is there any more romantic I can be...

9. STRANGE KIND OF LOVE



It's a strange kind of love

It's a strange kind of love

Strange kind of love

It's a strange kind of love

Strange kind of love

I've got a brand new car

And I'll drive it to the other side of town

Don't think you'll get too far

'Coz you can't stay away from me for long

We've stood cheek to cheek

We've fought for a week

I'm deeply confused

About me and you

It's a strange kind of love

We've got going here

With the smooth there is rough

A smile then a tear

But I can't get enough

I'm hooked on love

Only the other day

You told me you wanted me so much

But then you went away

And you left me dying for your touch


We've stood cheek to cheek

We've fought for a week

I'm deeply confused about me and you

You and me

It's a strange kind of love

We've got going here

With the smooth there is rough

A smile then a tear

But I can't get enough

I'm hooked on love

It's a strange kind of love

Strange kind of love

It's a strange kind of love

Strange kind of love

We've stood cheek to cheek

We've fought for a week

I'm deeply confused about me and you

You and me

It's a strange kind of love

We've got going here

With the smooth there is rough

A smile then a tear

It's a strange kind of love

We've got going here

With the smooth there is rough

A smile then a tear

But I can't get enough

I'm hooked on love

10. RUNNING BACK TO YOU


All of my friends told me

To make a brand new start

On this course they sold me

Driving us apart

Everyone was saying

You were just no good

The price I’d be paying

Was misunderstood

The emptiness that fills my life is new

And without you I don’t know what to do

Inside my heart the pain is breaking through

That’s why I’m running, running back to you

I thought I would spend time

With some other boys

It’s not like a love crime

To admire new toys

I was only trying

To have a bit of fun

But right now I’m crying

Fun, I’m having none

The emptiness that fills my life is new

And without you I don’t know what to do

Inside my heart the pain is breaking through

That’s why I’m running, running back to you

Nobody warned me I would feel this way

Your body haunts me like a ghost in chains

And when I see you at my door

It’s only in my dreams, I’ve never been alone before

The emptiness that fills my life is new

And without you I don’t know what to do

Inside my heart the pain is breaking through

That’s why I’m running, running back to you
