Very short story Five o’clock I see your name Popping up on my iPhone Little did I know What the news would bring along I of course took the cal but my good mood was soon to turn Well to simplify what I found out already knew Was that some people toy around while others do And we cried together And we died a little But there’s always a new start Better things around the corner Life will smile again real soon So stay awhile Time and time again Empowered ones will set th rules But our disposition When we’ve under-slept Overworked Been undermined Barely paid May lead us to say I’ll be going other away Think, don’t act in fear Seek in yourself and truth shall rise Have a drink or two Put in perspective pros and cons Tell somebody your worries After all we’re all the same Well needless to say the situation stinks but screw ‘em Plus their petty talk Together we’ll be fine after the devil blinks And we’ll cry together But we’ll live a little ‘cos there’s always a new start Better things around the corner Life is smiling back again so do your part

Love (Please get me you)! I’m hoping that love Will get me you All I need is your love To help me go through I’m thinking that I grew a fantasy ‘bout love that can’t be true Oh love, please get me you I’m hoping that love Will get me you All I need is your love To help me go through I’m thinking that I grew a fantasy ‘bout love that can’t be true Oh love, please get me you Love is like a symphony The A part comes twice But it fades out of history When it goes to B and it’s wrong Oh love Will get me you All I need is your love To help me go through I’m thinking that I grew a fantasy ‘bout love that can’t be true Oh love, please get me you Please get me you Please get me you ‘Cos evrytime I close my eyes I still dream that i have you I dream that i have you Andy ou know That for each time our bodies touched Our souls went travelling Travelling Love won’t turn its back on you Deep in the night But it won’t make emends with you If you’ve done it wrong Like the end of this song Oh Love Please get me you Please get me you Please get me you

Both Ways 03:09
Both Ways You can’t go both ways Left Right Oh, come over I’m your deepest desire Why? All our wishes are Travelling by Insane Uh, How will it be? Choose me Sun goes down as I Comprise how it feels To know That there’s no other way To be lost with you We can’t We choose otherness Slaves of the moon We bring all our fantasies into our love Make it go away I can’t handle it no more! Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh I’ve chosen to be Outrageous And that frightens you Go on lead your own way Towards Preppy happiness Take it elsewhere It stinks Who believes anyway This will end our romance Deep I will always be In all your dreams Wishes You could be bolder I’m not leaving without A kiss I’ve bewitched you so Come, ride with me A cloud with remains of this spiritual love Make it go away It’s too hot for you, go on! Oh Oh Oh Oh

Baby let’s get close Won’t you get close to me Can’t seem to leave your door Evrytime I think of you I just want your body next to mine Next to mine Oh my oh my Oh my oh my Oh my oh my Won’t you get close to me Feels I’ve been here before Begging for a little love Come on now it’s not like it’s any crime Any crime Oh my oh my Oh my oh my Oh my oh my Now that you’re close to me How ‘bout we do an encore ‘Cos the spark we create together Gets me doing things like writing songs in rhyme Songs in rhyme Oh my oh my Oh my oh my Oh my oh my oh my oh my Let me get close to you I wanna see your inside Open up share with me what you got Let’s take a ride

Unfriend 05:25
Unfriend Once inspired Now just holding on to survive Used to have A strong belief that love made us thrive Trust gets small At every broken step in your way Life, I say Will turn and stars aligned will allow You, my girl to see the good within somehow Find a way to believe You have it all I reckon now you’re mad and Lost Tenderness Girl I know Times are hard but don’t fade out Reassess Love Us once more Even though the bruises remain Wish I knew How to make emends with such pain In my heart Against all the odds you prevail Find your way back to me A friendship fail I can’t tell you just how much life’s changed Since we parted Can’t be your friend Although the years have passed I’m still Broken hearted I’ve cut you out

O Azul 03:46
O Azul Infinito aberto Tão profundo de dimensão Tu pertences ao lugar De descoberta De que o mundo não se desfaz Lástima, corrosão Sai de mim Raiva fel e mais Um sonho que trago do mar Como não Chegar ao fim da hora Em que fico contigo à espera do tal Vem Outono deixa lá o amor de um dia Não resistas ao encanto doce à escuta Cai o pano de outra vida não te exiles Que o piano toca o mapa de uma escuridão Infinito aberto Desistimos de ti tão só Porque o medo nunca vai Inteiramente Mas sabemos no fim que uma curta canção Não faz mal... Tu quiseste ficar só, não sabias Que o silêncio não te traz, sossego Viajaste sem sair , não pudeste Desfazer-te por sinal, da fronteira Do azul, do azul, do azul, do azul Vem Outono deixa lá o amor de um dia Não resistas ao encanto doce à escuta Cai o pano de outra vida não te exiles Que o piano toca o mapa de uma escuridão...

Off Track 04:01
Off Track Life as a discovery That happiness can be a creative state Enjoy the good But don’t settle Self-complacency keeps you deluded Take that step further You know that mediocrity keeps the system going You won’t be projected Your work won’t get elected Instead expect to be rejected For that relentlessness living inside of you Stops you from being satisfied with such littleness Wondering, figuring out decoding It’s a constant math You know life ought to be fairer, truer Life It ain’t easy Keep in route It will lead you somewhere Rough Times Make you change Stay awake Ohhhhhhh We’re all just ordinary people Being part of a whole that is failing We’re settling for something unwanted ‘Cos our course didn’t go as planned

Unravel 04:32
Unravel While you are away My heart comes undone Slowly unravels In a ball of yarn Devil collects it With a grin Our love In a ball of yarn He’ll never return it So when you come back We’ll have to make new love He’ll never return it So when you come back We’ll have to make new love He’ll never return it So when you come back We’ll have to make new love

Maria 03:53
Maria Maria, Desde que existes Que a vida se tornou Uma casa cheia de amor Maria, Maria Com os teus olhos Meigos sorris Mergulho nos teus caracóis Fitas de seda cor de avelã Maria, Maria Não gasto o teu nome em vão Mas não sei explicar como todas as coisas E o mundo jamais substituiriam Oitenta e dois centímetros de Maria Bailarina Maria Menina, Não deixo que a vida passe Sem que a memória de ti assim, aqui Se crave para todo o sempre No meu presente Não gasto o teu nome em vão Mas não sei explicar como todas as coisas E o mundo jamais substituiriam Oitenta e dois centímetros de Maria
