Lyrics
Hey, where are you going?
And who’s that guy standing next to you?
Well I never really liked cretins
Well he's short and hairy and carries a gun too
I never knew nothin' 'bout love
The other shoe don't fit like a glove
Hey, there's a role reversal
I don't think I can get used to this
Well I'm not too controversial
But the more beer I drink the more I'm pissed
Are you a fair weather friend?
I think I'm at my ropes end
And I feel like I'm just killing time
Cause I can't stop on just one thin dime
Caught between two worlds and all alone
I wanted to go back but you can't go home
You put me too high but I could not fly
Now you'll find I fallen from a pedestal
Lessons learned
Ballad Of Pete & Heather
Nut and bolt, knife and butter
Bogart, Bacall, one and another
Life makes a couple, love glues it together
H is for London, and Heather
Lonely vagabond, off hour's serenader
Of his soft and welcome space invader
Denim and leather, t-shirts and nails
Pee-Wee Herman loves the Princess of Wales
Reader, writer, laugher, lover
Find a space in your heart for her to cover
Feeler, dresser, dancer, lover
Leave open your heart for him to cover
They ride life like a rollicking bull
Their minds wide open, their cups are full
They want to know it all, embrace each day
And everything they get they try to give away
Nut and bolt, knife and butter
Bogart, Bacall, one and another
Life makes a couple, love glues it together
H is for London, and Heather
Pickin' Up The Pieces
I remember those days on the beach girl
And the night in the lifeguard stand
Your memory is ingrained in my brain
It was a thrill to just touch your hand
Pickin' up the pieces of my heart
And try to start over again
Pickin' up the pieces of my heart
And live my life without you
Well, I made some mistakes girl
And we both played the fool
Between the bottles of champagne
And those nights that we spent alone in the pool
Well, we'll get through with the help of my friends
My family will pull me through and I'll be back together again
Woke up this morning and fell out of bed
And found a piece of my heart on the floor
I was surprised to find another piece sitting outside the door
Well, my heart lies all the way from home to DC
Some people are surprised to find that parts of my heart still lie in New Jersey
Inventor of Love
under achiever, over bearing, insecure, he knew everything
love's inventor, creator of hope, Dr. Doolittle's envy, he was our rope
painter, artist, gave us perspective
it's not what you end up with, its what you give
gave us a house, made it a home, felt like warm butter, never alone
hey dad what's it all about
grandma said that you would not amount
i don't think you know what you did
you were down but you were never out
under stated, over loaded, never indifferent, you always listened
advisor, counselor, let me decide, vital moments, always by my side
under valued, over zealous, in too deep, did you want to fail?
the finished project was rearing your kids, they turned out good,
keeper of love, children creator, and you did change the world
Follow The Leader
We fled Pakistan to find a free land
Now I fight for what I believe
My son asked me when I'd be home again
I told him I'd be home soon
And I said, "Sometimes you follow the leader
You might not like where you go
But there's a price for freedom
That's what the leaders say they know"
At school my boy did fight for what he thought was right
The other kids they called me a spy
We talked on the phone. I said he'd never be alone.
He told me about his black eye.
And I said: "Sometimes kids follow the leader
Though they may not be right
But there's a price for freedom
To be a man you must fight"
At war I say a boy. He used a gun just like a toy
Till the shot caught me in the gut
I was lying on the ground. I couldn’t make a sound.
I looked up and saw my boy cry
Sometimes you follow the leader
You might not like where you go
But are you fighting for freedom?
That's what the
