Something in the Water
Just want to be myself, want to look into the mirror
No more apologies, I don’t need to explain
I’ll take you to the moon and back
We will leap frog the stars together
My friend
There is something in the water
And it’s gonna come out
Just want to be myself
Power, rise above them all
But it’s strength, hope, wisdom that will make you stand tall
You’re gonna run with the wolves, come on pick up that pace
As when you reach that view you’ll have a smile on your face
There is something in the water
And it’s gonna come out
Something in the water, something is a stirring it’s coming up to meet you – it’s gonna get ya! - Track Name: The Guava Tree

The Guava Tree
Some say there are diamonds in the sky
But when I look carefully, they’re hidden in your eyes
Like a bubble you gently float on by
But this old girl and these old wings they’re too afraid to fly
You’ve been on my mind
Down the corner, underneath the shade
Looking at the guava tree
Where the children play
That is where I first saw you
Looking at a lilac sky
Your eyes a shade of blue
You’ve been on my mind
Will you believe me underneath The Guava Tree?
You’ve been on my mind. - Track Name: Hey Owen
-
Hey Owen
Coming up to see you, I know it feels all right
I want to see you, been running day and night
I want to let you know, I got to make it clear
Want to let you know my intention…
Here, well you got my number
Had it for a while
0 4 2 2 7 6 – double 9
Hey Owen
Don’t want to let you down
Hey Owen
Well I’ve fallen for your charm
Hey Owen
Don’t want to let you down
Hey Owen
No, no, no
I keep pacing, and I always lose me breath
If only you could realise – my heart is out my chest. - Track Name: To Be With You
-
To Be With You
Sign on the window, I feel it’s getting cold
I’ve been running for years, out of breath, did you know?
When you’re alone and your heart is on your sleeve
I wanted to be with you, but the timing wasn’t right
I wanted to be with you – wouldn’t take me home that night
The days are getting longer, this mood is wearing thin
The more I try not to remember, the more it pulls me in
When you’re alone and your heart is on your sleeve
I wanted to be with you, when you were penniless
I wanted to be with you – but i was always second best
I wanted to be with you – when you travelled around the world
I wanted to be with you when you met that exchange girl
Days go, weeks fly, years pass, I’ve lost sense and track of time
In the hour of your own weakness you will realise
I wanted to be with you, when the others put you down
I wanted to be with you – when there was no one else around
I wanted to be with you – I’d be there till the end
I wanted to be with you – I wanted more than to be your friend
I wanted to be with you. - Track Name: New Jeans

New Jeans
I was sliding all over the place
No one to talk to, no familiar face
No smiling, or sunshine in my day
I once had a footprint – but the tide washed them away
Everyone appeared so hollow
But now I’ve got my new jeans on
I’ll play to you my favourite song
We go out, and we dance until the morning light
And I don’t need to worry – I’ve got you by my side
Big black clouds, replaced now with blue skies
Cheerful melodies bringing tears to my eyes
All this time you were my steppin’ stone
Now I don’t need to drag my feet – I don’t have to walk alone
How you like my new jeans?
I don’t need to worry – I’ve got you by my side. - Track Name: Feels Like Sunday
-
Feels Like Sunday
So many faces, so many places, so many buttons
But the white clouds in the sky make me feel like Sunday
So many you’re not good enough, you’re not fast enough, you’re too small
So many you’re not brave enough, you’re not pretty, you’re no different from them all
So many people without a home, so many living on their own, so many lives
And all this smogs not right, it’s blocking out the sunshine
So many cars
Walking down the street and I look above
Something in the air, I think its love
And all this confusion – it hurts my brain
Then I see your smiling face
Takes me away to that happy place
Feels like Sunday when I’m with you
The white clouds in the sky make me feel like Sunday. - Track Name: Mexico With Me
-
Mexico with Me
No, I don’t want to go home today
Gotta spread my wings, I’ve got to get away
Do you want to go to Mexico with me?
Splash of tequila on my hand
Around the campfire playing folklore music
Makin love in the sand
No I don’t want to go home today
I always liked the thought of Hawaii
As the north shore fills the air
Strumming on a ukulele
With a flower in my hair
All my family there in England
Scattered wide through fields of green
And as the ringing chimes from Big Ben fill my ears
There’ll be double-decker busses and the Queen
Do you want to go to Australia?
Wide-open spaces, the land of the free
As the scorching sun sets over the ocean
I am sitting in the shade of a coolabah tree
I think I’m home
Do you want to come home with me?
