My Lost Year 03:03
Lyrics and music by Jason Moon I see you're feeling low Come sit by me and join the show We'll play away those blues Then we'll put on our outside shoes Let's go down to the sea I'll become you, you'll change to me My lost year Disappears You look so beautiful When sunlight drips down to the world It makes your hair all shine I can't believe that you are mine You built this world for us We'll fill it up with sweet, sweet love My lost year Disappears The end is near Of my lost Year by year the lines behind my ears Get deeper and more clear If happiness has taken over here We'll spread it out my dear As sadness disappears Some day they'll understand We'll see them holding out their hands Enough for everyone Once they all see what we become And my lost year Disappears My lost year The end is near

Lyrics and music by Jason Moon On my list of living things that I haven't yet destroyed There is room for your name, for your name And if you don't think I mean every single word I say Then you never really knew me at all Well I took the rain away and you hate me to this day Throwing fire after me as I fall But her water's rushing free, it's becoming one with me So I guess it really wasn't yours after all I had no air, I couldn't breathe Till she gave me what I need (she gave me what I need) I can fly, I've got wings, I was made for better things And you never really knew me at all All the pain that I have brought to the ones I love the most Will rain down a hundred fold over me But if I can drink your poison with a smile upon my face Then I'll leave here as a child after all This rough beast, it spreads a chill as it slouches through the world I won't sit here while it's shadow covers me I can fly, I've got wings, I was made for better things And you never really knew me at all

Southport 02:43
Lyrics by Jaime April Music by Jason Moon Oh give me peace Southport Wipe my slate all clean As I arrive in Southport I find the grass all green No one knows us in Southport We'll pick our own name We're the Jones's in Southport We make up the game We crawled out of the sea and built our castle in the sand Before it pulled us back we felt you take us by our hands Let it rain in Southport Wash my troubles away The sun will shine in Southport Set fire to my day Fill my cup in Southport Right up to the brim I'll take a step back in Southport So I can start again Now I can sense the darkness waiting just offshore But I found my home, I found my home, I found my own front door My sweet love's in Southport Breathing sweet sea air Take a ride out of Southport A piece of me stays there All aboard for Southport All aboard that train

Lyrics and music by Jaime April Freshly they wander a world full of wonder Beauty and music and sun Batting innocent eyes at the overcast skies With a wisdom that comes from no one They floated around for years in this town But no one has seen them before Mr Jones what have you done to your children? They're not like me, they're like the trees Mr. Jones what have you done to your children? They blew in like a fresh summer breeze They blew in just like a fresh summer breeze Adorned in bright colours and beads they go dancing Seems like they're walking on air With soft music playing and their bodies swaying The gold dust just falls from their hair Magical charms make it hard to believe They're not from the stars or the sea Mr. Jones what have you given your children? Not your eyes, not your hair No, I think you cast a spell on your children And brought them in like a fresh breath of air You brought them in just like a fresh breath of air The smiles on the faces of those who surround them Bask in the cosmic delight Our eyes full of light as the stars all collide Exploding to start up the night Mr Jones what have you done to your children? They're not like me, they're like the trees Mr. Jones what have you done to your children? They blew in like a fresh summer breeze

Call On Me 03:15
Lyrics by Jaime April Music by Jason Moon When I'm standing as tall as the sky I can see where the darkness lies When you're by my side I'll make the darkness hide You can call on me I'm invincible when I'm with you This super human strength shines on through You want the world on your plate, I'll help you lift that weight Cause you can call on me I'll give you colour from black and white Your love gives me X-ray sight Bad guys never win when you look within Cause you can call on me This world can be lonely, we wear masks to hide But I feel like I can conquer the world with you by my side Sing to the sun if you're in need I'll be there with lightning speed Yeah, I'll race cross the land just to take your hand Cause you can call on me

Love Song 03:34
Lyrics and music by Jason Moon When you're asked to write a love song Oh, what choice do you have? It's a way to get behind the front lines of the advance So a light goes on in the upstairs room And you sit down to write a love song This place just has a way of pulling you apart And she's taking on each day miles away from your heart Then the light goes on over the microphone You begin to play a love song I guess she was thinking this was the way to mend it all But we spent so much time building that wall If there's life behind the black of a funeral veil Maybe we'll find it, maybe we'll find it So the words have made their way from the paper to the fray Just weaving through the battle til they found the safest way And a light goes on in the city tonight She sits down to hear a love song And a light goes on in the city tonight She sits down to hear a love song She sits down to hear her love song

Jungle Drums 02:46
Lyrics and music by Jaime April They heard it on the jungle drums A story 'bout me and a story 'bout you As it travels down the telephone line Sometimes I'm red sometimes I'm blue Don't worry flower, you haven't lost your bloom Long as the sea has fish and the sky has a moon Listen to love, and let it have it's way Don't fill your pretty little head with the things they say A tree on fire burns so bright When the winds of change start to blow Sparks will burn the forest down So the next small seed can start to grow Don't worry flower, you haven't lost your bloom Long as the sea has fish and the sky has a moon Listen to love, what does it want today? Don't fill your pretty little head with the things they say Broken bones from sticks and stones They can't break our spirit A whispered word will fade away And I won't even hear it We'll send it on the jungle drums A story 'bout you and a story 'bout me Story 'bout love in a goldfish bowl A story 'bout the Irish Sea Don't worry flower, you haven't lost your bloom Long as the sea has fish and the sky has a moon Listen to love, and let it have it's way Don't fill your pretty little head with the things they say

Lyrics by Jason Moon and Jaime April Music by Jason Moon The stars, they light up the night Do they still burn as bright in the afternoon light Somewhere beyond the blue I know that they do Where I fall will sweet flowers grow Will my love sit and dream where I lie Will I be the rain on her face if I'm no time, no place With each beat of my boot on the earth I feel my pulse in the ground No matter how loud, this gathering crowd Nobody can block out the sound This is happening now We walk as the wind screams us down Take hold my hand if you're scared, we're going nowhere A shadow, a ghost from away Stands in between us again But it's real as a daydream in May when you're no time, no place While the world rushes on in it's way, I'm no time, no place

Lyrics and music by Jason Moon You live in a different world than I do Where everything is beautiful and possible Where we don't have to compromise to win And I am on the outside looking in Your house is filled with many flowers And every single one of them is you And I just wouldn't know where to begin 'cause I am on the outside looking in New grass is growing through the crack in the sidewalk And everything that's old is new again Here I am so afraid of changing I'm so afraid of changing Your smile is worth the price I'm paying 'cause every single thought I have is you And even though I know that I won't win I'll be on the outside looking in Yes I'll be on the outside looking in

Lyrics and music by Jaime April Intoxicated by your stale perfumes Tell me your secrets, show me the way Put on your costume and hypnotize me I'll do anything you say Save me from the evil clutches of cheap temptation Save me from the evil clutches of angry demons Bring out your tassels and velvet garments You show me yours and I'll show you mine I've been a sinner and I will be punished You choose the rules and I'll pour the wine Whip me, hurt me, I like to suffer baby, you like control Save me from the evil clutches of free desire Take me to your palace in Rome and we'll see The jesters and kings and then we Can go dancing all through the night We'll give your father a fright (yes we will) And then go to Nero's live circus show Caligula up from below The lion eats the little boy They've taken away all of his joy (yes they have) Trust in me Follow me See how they bow (bow right down) See how they kneel (kneel on the ground) See how they judge (judge their sins See how they blame (blame you and me) See how they shake (shake their hips) See how they dance (dance the twist) See how they plead (plead for their lives) See how they beg (beg for a wife) See how they cry (cry to the sky) See how they lie

Play 03:16
Lyrics and music by Jason Moon My girl wants to live inside a cowboy movie She thinks I wouldn't understand As a matter of fact, I think I'll buy her the hat Cause I'm gonna do whatever I can My baby likes to spend her days just dreaming Well I don't mind at all Just as long as she saves one dream for me So I can have a place to fall Cause there's people I know Who's hearts are cold like the snow And they're freezing me with all their words She kisses me nice And melts all the ice She tells me that we own the world So if my girl wants to live inside a cowboy movie That's what we'll play We'll get Buffalo and Kid, strap our guns on our hips And we'll run and play the day away Sometimes I'm not alright And the light ain't so bright Cause I'm tumbling into the black She kisses me nice And melts all the ice My baby always brings me back So if my girl wants to go out on a starlight ocean With a moonbeam for a sail I'll take her little hand and lead her down to the sand And we'll sit and dream the night away
