FEEL THE STARS
(Renée Lamoureux/Keith Macpherson/ Creighton Doane)
I know that you're shaking
Times are tough
I know you've been mistaken
And you've had enough
If you can see what I can see
Standing here before my eyes
Chorus:
I can see you shining there
I can feel the stars in each and every one of us
Hold out your hands tonight
I can feel the stars in each and every one of us
Dreams get interrupted
Friends drift apart
Your plans will be destructed
Love can break your heart
Tonight there's magic in the air
No need to worry or despair
I can see you shining there
I can feel the stars in each and every one of us
Hold out your hands tonight
I can feel the stars in each and every one of us
Never doubt yourself
Never worry
You'll brilliant and you deserve the best
The world is wide open
It's waiting for you

RUNAWAY
(Renée Lamoureux/ Keith Macpherson)
I spent the day lost in a song
Another day has come and gone
I wanted to sing this one to you, and I tried
And I tried to sing it to you
Before you left so
Chorus:
Runaway, runaway, run along (3x)
While I'm singing my song, I'm singing my song
I made it for you
Cause you're far away
I mean this to you
From half a world away
Singing my song
I was singing my song
I was going to work today
No sun, just clouds and a lot of rain
So I stayed in bed instead
What the hell, I'm sleeping it off
Sleeping while you're on your way so
Runaway, runaway, run along (3x)
While I'm singing my song, I'm singing my song
I made it for you
Cause you're far away
I mean this to you
From half a world away
Singing my song
I was singing my song
Yeah look outside
Wednesday's a slow day afternoon
God I need a change of speed
Running around chasing after you
I made up my mind
Cause you're far away
I'll be home soon
From half a world away
Singing our song
I'll be singing our song
2x

LOVE AND PAIN
(Renée Lamoureux, Keith Macpherson)
Get up now, now
Get out of bed
Does someone have to hit you on the head?
Get up now, now
Get it right
Don't you know everything will be alright?
And all we know how to do is just live and die
With all that we're going through
We can only try
Love and pain
Love and pain
Don't you ever want to fall in love again?
Oh I can see you're scared to be
With someone that make you feel ordinary
Let go now, now
Just be yourself
Don't be afraid to love someone else
And all we know how to do is just live and die
With all that we're going through
We can only try
Love and pain
Love and pain
Don't you ever want to fall in love again?
It's your fear of emotion
That's taken you over
And making you lose yourself
Not sure where you're going
Or if you're getting closer
Why would you stop?
Love and pain
Love and pain
Don't you ever want to fall in love again?

REVOLUTION
(Keith Macpherson, Renée Lamoureux)
Check myself in the mirror
Tell you what I'm believing
I see this world on the edge
Where love is depleting
So many questions
So little meaning
We don't know where we're going
We don't know where we're going
We don't know what we're doing
REVOLUTION
I ask myself where's the love?
When no one is listening
I ask myself can I trust
My brothers and sisters
In this state of reaction
When people are suffering
We don't know where we're going
We don't know where we're going
We don't know what we're doing
REVOLUTION
Go ahead
Blame the institution
This is no illusion
Everyone is losing
We've got to find a solution
We don't know where we're going
We don't know where we're going
We don't know what we're doing

WAKE UP
(Keith Macpherson, Renée Lamoureux, Creighton Doane)
Hello
Is anybody home?
What the hell is going on?
Right here
It's unclear
Tell me where we all went wrong?
We gotta wake up
Wake up world
It's been said
That love's dead
Everyone is telling lies
It's unfair
We're so scared
We don't even know why
We gotta wake up
Wake up world
It's too hot
It's too cold
It's not right
Where ever you go
It's too late
We can't wait
We gotta take control
Let's go!
We gotta wake up
Wake up world

SURPRISE YOURSELF
(Keith Macpherson, Renée Lamoureux)
Surprise yourself
Just tell yourself you are good enough
Don't hide away
Disguise your pain being someone else
You are wasting away
Wasting away
Everything you think is real is only trying to hurt you
Nothing I can do will change your mind
I wish I could tell you how to make it all seem right
The world you know is leaving you behind
In your room you keep your door from opening wide enough
So closed you keep yourself from me til your pain erupts
This is all you can take
Are you wasting away?
Everything you think is real is only trying to hurt you
Nothing I can do will change your mind
I wish I could tell you how to make it all seem right
The world you know is leaving you behind
A broken soul
No where to go
You're on your own
It's dark and cold
But to take your life
It don't seem right
You've got to save yourself tonight
Surprise yourself
Just tell yourself
Everything you think is real is only trying to hurt you
Nothing I can do will change your mind
I wish I could tell you how to make it all seem right
The world you know is leaving you behind
Surprise yourself
Just tell yourself you are good enough

JULY
(Keith Macpherson, Renée Lamoureux)
Last July
Cast a spell
And head over heels I fell
In love with her name
Then something began
Sunshine shine forever
Let's both stay together
If August fades away
And will have to lose the love we made
I hope the stars take all the blame
Bring us back July
By her side on the couch
Nothing can feel so good
It's a sweet summertime
I love her vibe
Sing her songs that she requests
And we save the best for last
If August fades away
And will have to lose the love we made
I hope the stars take all the blame
Bring us back July
Where did you go?
I didn't really want you to
When it rains it'll pour
But we just ignore it
It's all that we can do
Did august fade away?
Cause we're both in separate worlds today
I think the stars should take the blame
Bring us back July
If August fades away
And will have to lose the love we made
I hope the stars take all the blame
Bring us back July

GOOD YEAR
(Keith Macpherson, Renée Lamoureux, Chris Burke-Gaffney)
Let's get crazy
Let's be sure to lose our minds
Let your hair down
Welcome to your life
This is gonna be a good year
Right now, right here
Everybody
Let's all hang around this place
There's lots of sunshine
To spread your love all over tonight
This is gonna be a good year
Right now, right here
Lose your cares
Throw them out
Deep in the ocean
Venture off
Crash into love
If your life's a mess
Shake it off
Down let it beat you
Nothing can stop you now!
This is gonna be a good year
Right now, right here

SINGING FOR YOU LOVE
(Keith Macpherson, Renée Lamoureux, Creighton Doane, Melanie Doane)
A thousand miles away
I thought I head you say
How'd I get so lucky to be with you?
All this time apart
Weighs heavy on my heart
Now I'm calling out to say
Singing for you love
Can you hear me tonight?
This picture of your face
My only saving grace
Since the day we said goodbye
I'm holding on to you
In everything I do
Til you come home to me
Singing for you love
Can you hear me tonight?
You can pick me up
When all my stars go out and fly away
(You can pick me up and fly away so high, I can't describe it)
Singing for you love
Can you hear me tonight?
Can you feel me tonight?

STILL SEARCHING
(Renée Lamoureux, Keith Macpherson)
Talk, talk, talk
Laugh, laugh, laugh
Til I'm blue and facing truth
Sing, sing, sing
Are you listening?
I'm distracted
I'm out of tune
I'm still searching
Just leave me alone
Don't want your sympathy
Fight, fight, fight
Til broad daylight
With the ghost in the back of my room
I try, try, try
With the devil in disguise
On a count that I will lose
I'm still searching
Just leave me alone
Don't want your sympathy
I won't bend down
I won't bow to the thunder raging at the sun
My mercy fight
My child inside
Bursting fire behind the glass
I'm still searching
Just leave me alone
Don't want your sympathy

WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
(Renée Lamoureux, Keith Macpherson, Chris Burke-Gaffney)
The minute I saw you I died
Standing with that girl
Hailing a ride
I stood there under the stars
Sucking in the pain of the night
The truth was out in front of me
But I was in denial
Now when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
I know you're telling me lies
You said you'd never do that
I woke up screaming your name
I thought that I was gonna die
I burned the photos and any trace of a memory with you and I
You cheated on me
You're killing me now
Am I just a passer by?
I've had enough
I know now
I'm never going back
Now when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
I know you're telling me lies
I know you're telling me lies
Now when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
I know you're telling me lies
You said you'd never do that
I shoulda known (3x)
But I didn't want to believe
Now I'm going to fade away
Now when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
I know you're telling me lies
I know you're telling me lies
Now when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
I know you're telling me lies
You said you'd never do that

WHEN YOU'RE GONE
(Keith Macpherson, Renée Lamoureux)
Out of my mind
You're still in my head
I drive in the rush hour traffic
Wondering where
Where I belong
At this major intersection
I want you tonight but it all seems wrong
We could have everything or lose it all
I'll still be waiting for your call
When you're gone
I'm in the dark
I am alone
Wish I could hear you coming home
There's so much pain
It never stops
Every since we fell apart
I want you tonight but it all seems wrong
We could have everything or lose it all
I'll still be waiting for your call
When you're gone
I could never be true to you I know
But in my head it's feeling clear and makes sense of what I want
I know
I hate sleeping in a cold bed
Waking up so far from the truth
There's just no use
Are we finished now?
Is it really over now?
I want you tonight but it all seems wrong
We could have everything or lose it all
I'll still be waiting for your call
When you're gone

STUMBLE
(Renée Lamoureux, Keith Macpherson, Creighton Doane)
I've lived a hundred lives
I've shed a million tears in my twenties
I've lost some and I've won
I've tumbled and pushed through this journey
Sometimes I feel like I know too much
Sometimes I feel like I don't know nothing at all
And I just stumble
I've studied and I've learned
Accomplished and burned to get the best of out me
I've loved and I've let go
I broke down wouldn't you know in an emergency
Sometimes I feel like I know too much
Sometimes I feel like I don't know nothing at all
And I just stumble
With every breath I take
I'm just about to fall
With every move I make
I'm closer and closer
And I just stumble
Yeah, I just stumble

Simple Stuff
All Need Love
Oh take away the pain
Learn to walk away
Well it's over now
Gone far beyond the door
You will be no more
Well it's over now
Never come again, no
Still swift becomes your leaving us
Well we all need love
All need love
If I could find a way
To have you here today
Yeah you know I would
Cause you were brighter than the sun
You're missed by everyone
But we won't hold you down
If there was just good reason
You faded like a season
I guess it's your time now
Though we're falling down again
Yeah I feel we're falling down

Song for Belfast
I went to your country
Me a back pack and a friend
We took a plane to the north
It's such a beautiful land
I saw you walking downtown
Building's been bombed all around
I came along wrote a peaceful song
I wonder what's gonna happen to you (2x)
It's a shame that you're mad
Posting flyers and flags
City divided not to cross
The lines of people lost
Somehow it seems so easy
I don't understand all the fuss
I came along wrote a peaceful song
I wonder what's gonna happen to you (2x)
Then I saw you there at the corner of the street
Wonder where you've been what you think of me
Am I deeper then a flag in your community?
Am I really?
Yeah
I came along wrote a peaceful song
I wonder what's gonna happen to you

Better That Way
I got your letter decorated with yellow roses
You bought me roller blades
They were sent to my work along with a raise
I'm just your modern day mystery
I had to run out in a hurry
We didn't date for long
Ah, what can I say
It's better that way
I've known you for so long
Too bad I can't stay
I hope you're ok
We had so much fun
Official one time apart another
But my heart got broken
The young and the wild can get out of hand
I'm sorry about our history
Hope sometime you bump into me
We didn't date for long
Ah, what can I say?
It's better that way
I've known you for so long
Too bad I can't stay
I hope you're ok
I hope someday I'll get to meet your family
You're all grown up now
You handle well priority
I'm just your modern day mystery
I had to run out in a hurry
We didn't date for long
Ah, what can I say?
It's better that way
I've known you for so long
Too bad I can't stay
I hope you're ok
We didn't date for long
Ah, what can I say?
It's better that way
I've known you for so long
Too bad I can't stay
I hope you're ok

Boys Don't Cry
Not that long ago maybe five or so
I was a child
Saw the world with eyes
Open wide and bright
Innocent smile
In a world of greed
Everyone in need
I stayed a child
Never cry the tears
Never show your fears
Innocent child
Boys don't cry the ones who succeed
Act your age be all you can be
You can be
(chords same for rest of verses)
So my world began
Made a superman
Disguised a child
Hold the family name
In your hands they'd say
You are our child
When your granddad died
He held up his pride
Lived quite a while
You must do the same
Never be ashamed
You'll make us proud
And so to this day
I've remained this way
Innocent child
Lived my forty years
Never showing fear
Not for a while
Tried to break away
Hard to live that way
In front of your child
Listen to me son
Don't do what I've done
Cry like a child
Boys do cry the one's who succeed
Act your age be all you can be
Your can be

Colleen
Colleen was sitting all alone
Over by the steel stove waiting
In the corner of a smoky bar
Just got in from New York State
Waiting on a dinner plate and taking
Everything she could for what it's worth
Her worn out sneakers and ripped up soles
Tired eyes and a pointed nose
And all the things that she'd been through
Colleen
She's talking on her cell phone
Leave a message at the tone
Lately, she just feels all alone
Can't believe the things she said
The beer was rushing to her head and maybe
Her fleeting heart just wouldn't want to go
Her swollen knees and a ripped up shirt
Tired eyes and a checkered skirt
And all the things that she'd been through
Hang on Colleen
Things are not what they seem to be
You're not alone
Someone cares

Juste une Fille
Elle est l'ainée
C'est elle qui mêne
Indépendente dans son domaine
Plein de confiance et de puissance
Elle est une personne bienveillante
En haut en bas
Ce n'est pas si simple que ça
Y'a des jours où elle est forte
Y'en a d'autres où elle doute
En haut en bas
Ce n'est pas si simple que ça
Un jour à la fois
Elle est juste une fille qui vit sur Terre
Elle contrôle son impatience
Se mêle de ses affaires
Elle a le courage d'être brave
De conquérir l'incroyable
Mais se n'est pas toujours facile
Dans le monde
La confusion fait la nouvelle à la télévision
Quand elle est seule
En solitaire
Elle pleure sa misre
En haut en bas
Ce n'est pas si simple que ça
Y'a des jours où elle est forte
Y'en a d'autres où elle doute
En haut en bas
Ce n'est pas si simple que ça
Un jour à la fois
Elle est juste une fille qui vit sur Terre
Elle contrôle son impatience
Se mêle de ses affaires
Elle a le courage d'être brave
De conquérir l'incroyable
Mais se n'est pas toujours facile
Oh, elle se dit:
"En somme, je suis contente d'être moi
Je ne vais pas changer ma personne
Avec fierté, avec fierté!"
Elle est just une fille qui s'en tire
Elle est just une fille qui vit sur Terre
Elle contrôle son impatience
Se mêle de ses affaires
Elle est just une fille douce et gentille
Elle est juste une fille dans le monde
Elle se débrouillera, débrouillera, c'est sur.

MS ELIOT
There's still no sign of Ms Eliot
Featuring the show tonight
I think I'll go down to the green room to meet Ms Eliot
Set up the stage and the soundmen
Check the mics, run through sound check
She's got her roadies all set
There's no need for Ms Eliot
Ah, Ms Eliot (they already know you)
Ah, Ms Eliot (they don't want to know you)
Where are you now?
You got a rock star ego your rock head's busting
Your makeup artist covered what's rusting
Hold up the sign in the closet
She's lingering, she'll get my name
I want to tell her I'm a big fan of Ms Eliot
The exit sign is emerging
Without a glance I take my chance
Security is on my tail
I'm out for Ms Eliot
Ah, Ms Eliot (they already know you)
Ah, Ms Eliot (they don't want to know you)
Where are you now?
You got a rock star ego your rock head's busting
Your makeup artist covered what's rusting
Jack off Jill cause I'm Ms Eliot
You got a rock star ego your rock head's busting
Your makeup artist covered what's rusting
Jack off Jill cause I'm Ms Eliot

No One's Fool
Golden girl in your perfect world
Is something missing
Are you there?
Is it hard to tell if someone's listening?
Do you see the sadness in your eyes?
She's not herself these days
She feels so un-cool
Wanting just to be somebody else
Time for a change
Time to make a move
Time to tell herself she's no ones fool
Did they laugh at you?
Did they break you down and are you still standing?
It's not your fault; you're not to blame
Won't you understand me?
It takes a lot of courage in your world
I don't know why you feel like you do
There's nothing to hide
It's all up to you, you chose

I AM ONLY A GIRL
I am discouraged
I have a fear
I can hide in a room for a year
I've got the brains
I've got the guts
I'm a shooter when it comes to my looks
Then I'm up and down
Then I'm all around
I'm your friend one minute and I'm off in the next
I'm up and down
I'm all around
I've got a moody reflex
Chorus:
I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do to
I have the courage to be brave
I can conquer anything
But something's got me trapped inside
I'm like a man
I take a stand
I don't care what anybody thinks
I've got the means
I do the work
I bury all my feelings in the dirt
Then the tricky part crushes my thin heart
I'm afraid one minute and I lose in the next
The tricky part crushes a delicate spot
I've got a moody reflex
Chorus
Oh...
I like me the way I'm made up yeah
I'm not gonna change my way
I like it, I like it
I am only a girl who suffers too
I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do to
I am only a girl who's brave and true
I am only a girl in the world

Predictable
Summer's beginning to get kind of long
Waiting for the world to calm down
Waiting for my life to change round
I'm just a loser so lost and confused
Taking up my good solid time
Wondering if I'll ever be fine
Every day has the same view
No anticipating a breakthrough
And I'm so predictable
I'm so predictable lately
You're always leaving
You never slow down
The clock's bending time
The heartache is mine
Got to be careful
We've been here before
I think we said the same thing last year
I can't believe we're still standing here
All this Time just waiting for something
All this time, just waiting for something to make everything alright

Simple Stuff
Hi, do you remember me from the bar?
I bought you a drink that isn't something I normally do
I was the girl in jeans and a pink shirt
I could of sworn you were looking my way
Cause I would like to get to know you
I'm not asking for much
I want to take you out
A dinner on a date
I'm not asking to get all hyped
The simple stuff would be nice
That would be nice
I saw you standing there across the room
I watched you hanging out with your friends
I gave you my number and asked you to dance
Maybe this time we can take a chance
Cause I would like to get to know you
I'm not asking for much
I want to take you out
A dinner on a date
I'm not asking to get all hyped
The simple stuff would be nice
That would be nice
I gave you my number and asked you to dance
Maybe this time we can take a chance
Cause I would like to get to know you
