THIS MACHINE (FourPlay)
So tell me what your TV’s worth to you?
I know we’re always chasing something new
But don’t you wonder what this really means?
Aren’t we more than a part of this machine?
We know the price of everything and yet the worth of none,
But what’s it mean when all is said and done
We pay the price for everything we get the worth of none
But who dies with the most has never won
Ahhh …
So tell me what the sky is worth to you.
And tell me what the seas are worth to you.
You know we’ve only got one mother earth
Now tell me what convenience is wo-o-orth
We know the price of everything and yet the worth of none,
But what’s it mean when all is said and done
We pay the price for everything we get the worth of none
But who dies with the most has never won
Ahhh …
You mean the world to me
And the world means you to me
Mississippi Sinkhole (Music by FourPlay, Lyrics by Lara)
The Mississippi sinkhole will take you down
Down to the devil’s work
The Mississippi sinkhole will take you down
Where man done dug his dirt
The people going down in the mining town
Down to the devil’s work
I said the Mississippi sinkhole will take you down
‘Cos the money done got there first
WISH – by Tim Hollo
Oh the rains the rains are falling now
Oh the rains the rains are failing now
Turning streets to streams
Stronger than they seems
Oh the wind the wind
is rising now
Oh the wind the wind is howling now
Tearing through the leaves
Tearing down the trees
She said I wish that I'd been born before the rains began to fall
Before the rivers dried, the oceans rose, the fires consumed it all
Before the smoke became a pall
Oh the fires the fires are burning now
Oh the fires the fires are burning now
Taste the ash in the air
Ashes in your hair
Oh my darling we CAN’T wish for the sky
Storms are closing in
Storms are closing in
Oh the clouds the clouds
are parting now
Air is clearer
grass is greener now
Brighter than it seems
We're wiser than we seem
Oh my darling
we CAN reach for the sky
Rise above your fears
Fly above your fears
Walk on through the years
Rise above your fears
wash away your tears
BOUND (Music by FourPlay, Lyrics by Lara Goodridge)
Now make an educated guess
Take a step right… to the left
So that all that we see - is all as it seems
We put his heart… in our hands
Think about it, take it like a man
Now inside the burden I know what it means
We made our beds, And it feels like…
I’m in two pieces, And it hurts like…
All in my head, And it feels like…
Red yellow, bittersweet, nightshade
Ripples on the shores, now I’m unmade
Shadows in the night no it’s not what I dreamed
WE ARE BOUND … BY LOVE
Turn around, stand up, be my man
Come & find me, cut your losses, take my hand
Stand by me, you’re my pillar, I’m your post, you are me
I put my trust in us now, you see
But there’s so - much - more than you and me
Take this weight inside, it’s getting heavy
We made our beds, And it feels like…
I’m in two pieces, And it hurts like…
All in my head, And it feels like…
Tangerine, copper top, back drop
You bring it with you, that ain’t gonna ever stop
Come on baby I’m your pillar, you’re my post, you are me
WE ARE BOUND … BY LOVE
BUTTERGIRL Lara Goodridge)
You hurt my feelings, what a fool I’ve been
Punish me when I’m down, I’m not sure it’s sunk in
But I knew it from the start, that you’d wear me down and break my heart
So who am I to blame?
They say everything’s a lesson, well you’d think that I was old enough to know
But you butter me up from your silver lipped cup and I…
I clean forget to say ‘no’
But I knew it from the start, that you’d wear me down and break my heart
So who am I to blame?
But a girl’s gotta have some fun
And I can tire of this party of one
So I play a game of cat and mouse
But I smell a rat in this ole house
It’s a man’s game in this big ole town
I gotta learn to sit out a round
Cos I show my hand, and you,
You show your ace
Oh boy, you play with a mean poker face…
TRUST (Lara Goodridge)
One wrong step is all I take to this mistake
And now I won’t trust this unruly heart
No, I wont trust this unruly heart
And I’ve said too much
I might be losing touch
And now I won’t trust this unruly heart
No, I wont trust this unruly heart
And it’s one false move and you’re dead
One false move and you’re dead
Yes, it’s one false move and you’re dead
Aaaah…
Oh, false idol, I’m on my knees
Misguided fool for some sweet release
And chance the door
To set me free
And it’s one false move and you’re dead
One false move and you’re dead
Yes, it’s one false move and you’re dead
Aaaah…
EVOLVE OR DECAY
(Lara Goodridge)
I hold no judgement in my heart
But I’m not safe in your arms
And my days of playing hard have passed
But oh, how I’d like to know
What it is to let myself go with you
But I can’t hurt anymore
I won’t be burnt anymore
Flying too close to the sun
No I can’t hurt anymore
I won’t be burnt anymore
But we’ve waited for this moment so long
Can we head for the eye of the storm
Can it all be so wrong?
But I can’t hurt anymore
I won’t be burnt anymore
Flying too close to the sun
No I can’t hurt anymore
I won’t be burnt flying so high
And aiming so low
I’m flying too high
There’s only one way to go
Evolve or decay
Evolve or decay
