DOWN
Lyrics by Paul Stead & Nathan J. Lark
Music by Paul Stead

Ten-seconds then your heads rollin' on the floor,
can't take your bullshit anymore,
I think you should turn and walk away,
so you can face another day...

I'll take you down - and you're never gonna get back up,
I'll take you down,
I'll take you down - and you're never gonna get back up...

Buddy listen up, you've gotta walk away,
or I'll knock you back to yesterday,
cut your crap, off my stack, better watch your back,
five-seconds then I attack...

Never gonna get back up...

BEST IN ME
Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

Girl I know you,
better than I know myself,
so I'll show you,
don't need anyone else,
I'll be there,
whenever you need me,
that's the way it's meant to be...

'cause I know you see the very best in me,
that's why I'm never gonna break your heart,
and each time we kiss a breath I always miss,
that's why I'm never, gonna tear us apart...

Girl I see you,
when I close my eyes,
I will hold you,
through the longest night,
I'll be there,
whenever you need me,
that's the way it'll always be...

LAY IT ON THE LINE '09
Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

There are times when you are lonely,
I can be there if you call,
I will be there to hold you,
And catch you if you fall…

I can give you forever,
But all you want is the night,
To me it’s making love,
To you it’s sex without the fight…

I’m always there for you,
But you’re never there for me,
You’ve got to…

Lay it on the line,
Lay it on the line,
When the feeling’s right it’s time,
To lay it on the line…

Sometimes I’m the one who’s lonely,
When I call where are you?
A a case of give and take,
I give - and take is all you do…

NO-ONE KNOWS (WAR)
Lyrics by Paul Stead & Nathan J. Lark
Music by Paul Stead & Alex Burke

Darkness falls, the fighting begins,
but in this war, nobody wins,
you run and hide you hear the screams, everywhere,
can't sleep at night, you fear the dreams...

No-one knows, what it's like for you,
or if you'll live tonight,
no-one knows, what you're going through,
or how you feel inside,
and I'm not strong enough to be there, too...

Gun in hand, you walk on blood-stained earth,
fight to survive, it's all your worth,
face in the sand, kiss family goodbye,
shed a tear, for wars gone by...

No-one knows, what you have to do,
is it wrong or right,
no-one knows, if you'll be home soon,
to tuck your kids in at night,
and I'm not strong enough to be there, too...

TV MOVIE
Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

On Sunday night at 7pm,
There's a TV Movie 'bout both of them,
What they had & where it's gone,
How they got there - then what went wrong,
She plays herself, she knows the role,
But he missed out - couldn't get parole,
On that night they're stars of the show, again,
But it's just a TV Movie...

Not long ago she had it all,
Money in the bank, the world at her feet,
Her billboard up on every street, now it's gone,
Oh, it's gone...

She graced the cover of magazines,
Had the leading role in the number one movie,
On top of the world - everything was groovye - now it's gone,
It's gone...

She was the biggest star of '95,
Now no-one knows she's still alive & trying,
It's just her career that's dying...

He was the big screens action man,
10-foot tall, women in his pocket,
Had a 100 cars - they all moved like a rocket - now they're gone,
Oh, they're gone...

He was the biggest star of '99,
Had his 15-minutes now he's doing time & sinking,
'Cause driving doesn't mix with drinking...

WHAT IT TAKES '09
Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

I sometimes wonder if I’m crazy,
I sometimes wonder if I’m cruel,
‘Cause when the world falls down around me,
I just have to play the fool…

As the lights go down,
And the curtain starts to fall,
I know I can take this world alone,
I want it all…

I hear your voice, I see your face,
No-one can take your place,
But I’m strong,
And I’ll carry on, alone,
‘Cause I’ve got what it takes…

I sometimes wonder if I’m crazy,
I sometimes wonder why I fear,
Now I know I can make it on my own,
Now that you’re not here…

I’ll stand alone,
To do everything I can,
But if I don’t make it through – without you,
I'm just a weaker man…

TOP OF THE CLASS
Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

She should be all dressed up & dancing,
Taken the limo ride to fun,
She should be smiling, joking, laughing...

Not sitting home with her new-born son,
while her friends are out, enjoying her school prom...

She was the homecoming queen,
sung in the show,
wherever she went the guys would follow,
cheerleader, had the lead in the play,
she was top of the class,
stood out in the crowd,
a teachers dream & her parents proud,
seems like a lifetime away,
but she's happier today...

Dads the star of the high-school football team,
he's looking good in his rented tux tonight,
staying in doesn't suit his scene...

But mum doesn't care,
she holds her baby tight,
one look in his eyes she knows everythings alright...

FOREVER '09

Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

You were born a fighter,

Never giving in, always trying to win,

Got a heart of gold, always doing your best,

Putting yourself to the test…

You are my hero and I’ll follow your way,

I’ll be like you someday…

(You know I’ve made some mistakes),

But I’ve got what it takes,

(I’ll be there by your side),

There’s no reason to hide,

(I’ll be there for you girl),

‘Cause you’re my whole world,

And I’ll be there forever, forever…

Always taking chances, doing what you could,

Now maybe we all should,

Always done your best, always faced the truth,

Keep doing what you do…

EVERYBODY
Lyrics by Paul Stead
Music by Paul Stead & Alex Burke

DJ plays another song,
crowd begin to sing a long,
as their bodies start to sway,
bright-lights liven up the room,
the anthem couldn't come too soon,
and as they start to dance they hear the DJ say...

Everybody move your feet - to the rhythm, feel the beat,
everybody clap your hands - every woman, every man,
got to give it all you've got - hope the music never stops,
and until the break of day, gonna dance tonight away...

You can feel it in the air,
happy people everywhere,
as their bodies move as one,
lovers dancing face to face,
like they're alone within this place,
and as they feel the song they hear the DJ say...

ON MY WAY
Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

Girl I couldn't live without you,
and I don't wanna try, as I'd die anyway,
wanna live my life around you,
and I wouldn't change that to any other way...

There's something I need to tell you...

I'm on my way home,
to my baby, to let her know,
it drives me crazy,
that I love her so,
she'll forever have my heart & soul,
and I wouldn't have it any other way...

Wanna wrap my arms around you & never let go,
kiss every inch of your face,
wouldn't trade your touch for anything,
'cause everyday, I live for your embrace...

MUSIC MAN
Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

Always feels like I'm on the run,
But I don't know what it's from,
No rear-view mirror, no turning back,
A toothbrush is all I pack...

Tearing down this empty road,
Guitar and amp my heavy load,
Listening to my favourite song,
This desert road seems very long...

Nowhere to turn for miles around,
My radio is the only sound,
And as I drift from town to town,
They call me the music man...

Another town, another place,
To put the smile back on my face,
Plug me in and let me play,
Who knows, this time I might stay...

Another stage, another crowd,
I stand so tall and I feel so proud,
Playing you my favourite song,
I hate it when this feelings gone...

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE
Lyrics by Paul Stead
Music by Paul Stead & Alex Burke

Never known such a beautiful face,
under pressure she's a state of grace,
takes me up to a higher place,
I'm honoured to know her...

Little miss sunshine - she makes me happy,
'cause I get to hold her, whenever I'm colder,
little miss sunshine - when we're together,
she brings warmer weather, little miss sunshine...

She picks me up when I'm feeling down,
shows me a good time, when we hit the town,
she's always there when I need her around,
I'm honoured she loves me...

ROCK 'N' ROLL AWAY '09
Lyrics & Music by Paul Stead

The boys are back in town,
And we’re gonna turn it inside out,
We’re gonna tear it down,
But everything’s gonna be alright…

Our song is playing on the radio,
It’s almost Saturday, not long to go until we…

Rock ‘n’ roll all night,
Rock ‘n’ roll all day,
Rock ‘n’ roll all night,
Rock ‘n’ roll away,
Rock ‘n’ roll all night,
Rock ‘n’ roll all day,
Rock ‘n’ roll all night,
Gonna rock ‘n’ roll away…

We’re gonna rock the house,
So throw your hands up in the sky,
Wanna hear you scream and shout,
Let the music take you high…

Our song is playing on the radio,
24 hours ‘til we start the show, we’re gonna…

Our song is playing on the radio,
But it's time to hit the stage and start the show, we're gonna...
