Roll with the punches 04:08
lyrics
Roll with the punches Chorus: You gotta roll with the punches When your hearts knocked off it's beat You gotta roll with the punches Try to get back on your feet Verse 1: I'm just a worn out traveler Riding the waves of life It's been a rocky highway Love almost broke my spine Verse 2: Ain't been a bed of roses We rode some up's and downs My bottles empty and I wanna cry Since you walked out the door Pre-Chorus: It's touched a distant memory When momma left for good My daddy had to tell me These words I understood, he said Repeat Chorus Verse 3: Into her bed of roses The lord has called her now My child has lost his momma I'm gonna miss my wife Pre-Chorus: It's touched a distant memory His momma's left for good I knew I had to tell him These words He understood, I said Repeat Chorus Bridge: We give up, what we've got, broken hearted We live on, give it all that we’ve got We get high, we get low, it’s just the way it goes We gotta keep on going now © Copyright worldwide 11:00 GMT 31 st November 2011 all rights reserved

Shooting stars 03:42
lyrics
Shooting stars (extended version) Verse 1: Ain't no rhyme or reason why you chose to head my way No other destination, could have changed the choice you made Cause to be with me right now, was written in your eyes, heaven knows We both believe it Chorus: Cause we are like shooting stars Who travel with broken hearts We're burning with fire Endless desire Trying to heal our scars It's just the way we are We're shooting stars Verse 2: Differences between us, like the orchid and the rose Make this life much harder, when the wind begins to blow Cause it's written in our hearts, as we travel unknown skies, we both know Lovers don't need it Chorus: Cause we are like shooting stars Who travel with broken hearts We're burning with fire Endless desire Trying to heal our scars We're shooting stars Verse 3: Everytime I feel it, there's a tension in the air But love I can’t deny it, cause it's more than I can bare And I hope that it will last, cause our time is fading fast, Oh no no Chorus: (key change) Cause we are like shooting stars Who travel with broken hearts We're burning with fire Endless desire Trying to heal our scars Chorus repeat: Cause we are like shooting stars Who travel with broken hearts We're burning with fire Endless desire Trying to heal our scars We're shooting stars © Copyright 14:12 GMT 31 st October 2011 all rights reserved © Revised Copyright 14:37 GMT 30th November 2011 all rights reserved

One of these days 04:02
lyrics
One of these days Verse 1 I was born without a reason I was torn without a cause I grew up with something missing Still not knowing what was lost I had to find my trail to follow Had a vision in my mind I knew that you would come to meet me In the land of paradise Chorus 1: One of these days I'm gonna see your face One of these days I'm gonna fit into this place One of these days I won't be gone astray But there's a hundred different reasons And there's a thousand different roads And a million secrets only god can truly know Verse 2: Like a heart can't serve two masters Like the proud eat humble pie And there ain't no contradiction When the truth cannot tell a lie But my mind gets all distorted I cannot see through all this haze When my heart and soul are empty I get trapped inside a maze Chorus 2: One of these days I'm gonna see your face One of these days I'm gonna fit into this place One of these days I won't be gone astray But there's a hundred different reasons And there's a thousand different roads And a million secrets only god can truly know I go around, around, around… Chorus 3: One of these days I'm gonna see your face One of these days I'm gonna fit into this place One of these days I won't be gone astray But there's a hundred different reasons And there's a thousand different roads And a million secrets only god can truly know © Copyright worldwide 23rd December 2011 all rights reserved

Much too much 03:18
lyrics
Much too much Verse 1: Well, we had a lot of lovin' when we met and got together Yeah, we had a lot of fun you and I And I thought that it would last forever never thought about the time we'd hit the finish line Bridge: And I don't see how we ended up this way, but you gotta know I'm waiting by the phone Chorus: I wanna tell you that I want you Never knew you filled the space within my heart Should've shown you that I need you Cos I can't bare to live my life apart Don't you know how much I've missed you Since the moment that you walked right out the door Now I'm saying that I love you, much too much much too much Verse 2: So now I'm sittin' here on my own and thinking about the times when we were doing alright We had all we ever wanted so it's hard for me to understand why it turned into a fight Bridge: And I don't know if it will ever be the same, but you gotta know I'm waiting by the phone Chorus: I wanna tell you that I want you Never knew you filled the space within my heart Should've shown you that I need you Cos I can't bare to live my life apart Don't you know how much I've missed you Since the moment that you walked right out the door Now I'm saying that I love you, much too much much too much (Chorus) Instrumental (Chorus) (Chorus) © Copyright worldwide December 21st 2011 all rights reserved

Butterfly in reverse 03:52
lyrics
Butterfly in reverse Verse 1: You used to be so happy, the prettiest girl in town You used to have the sweetest smile, that stood out from the crowd I still don't know what happened, or why you feel you don't belong You say you haven't looked back since, I tore your heart away from home Bridge: I never meant to hurt you I'm sorry if you've cried But every time I told you, what was wrong You just failed to read the signs Chorus: One drink is too many, a thousand never enough I haven't seen you sober, since the day that we broke up You’re like a butterfly...... But....ter....fly...... Like a..bu....tter....fly..........y In reverse In reverse Verse 2: I know your heart is broken, but now mine is torn in two My world is turning upside down, Waiting for you to choose I hope that you will get better, but while you sing this same old tune I can’t hang around for ever, to watch you hide in your cocoon Bridge: You know I'll always love you You know that I still care But every time I ask you, what is wrong You don't know what's going on Chorus: One drink is too many, a thousand never enough I haven't seen you sober, since the day that we broke up You’re like a butterfly...... But....ter....fly...... Like a but....ter....fl......y.... In reverse In reverse © Copyright 2011 all rights reserved © Revised Copyright RJF 14th January 2011 all rights reserved

The poppy fields of Afghanistan 04:25
lyrics
The poppy fields of Afghanistan Verse 1: I just turned eighteen I've never picked a fight But now my country needs me I do what I think is right I say goodbye to momma I promise I will write As me and my best buddy Take off on an unknown flight Chorus: Out in the poppy fields of Afghanistan In the line of fire unseen As the bullets flew around our heads And we dodged those IEDs I couldn't have wished for a better friend Than the one I stood beside No braver man fought the Taliban in the poppy fields of Afghanistan Verse 2: Out on the dawn patrol Standing side by side While seeking out insurgents He fell where he held the line He called out for his momma Said his daddy would be proud I gently held my buddy As he died on foreign ground Chorus: Out in the poppy fields of Afghanistan In the line of fire unseen As the bullets flew around our heads And we dodged those IEDs I couldn't have wished for a better friend Than the one I stood beside No braver man fought the Taliban In the poppy fields of Afghanistan Chorus: Out in the poppy fields of Afghanistan In the line of fire unseen As the bullets flew around our heads And we dodged those IEDs I couldn't have wished for a better friend Than the one I stood beside No braver man fought the Taliban In the poppy fields of Afghanistan © Copyright worldwide RJF 2012 all rights reserved

lyrics
All for the mad Can you hear the drums son, do you hear the drums They’re coming for the young son, they’re coming for the young Can you hear the pipes son, do you hear the pipes They’re coming for the young son, the madness has begun All dressed up in your uniform, you’ll stand there full of pride The men that stand beside you, will march into the lie All for the drums son, all for the flag All for the pipes son, all for the mad Can you hear the guns son, do you hear the guns They’re coming for the young son, they’re coming for the young Can you hear their cries son, do you hear their cries They’re coming from the young son, the dying has begun You’ll think about your family, you’ll dream about your love Good men will fall beside you, until you've had enough All for the drums son, all for the flag All for the pipes son, all for the mad Can you see the flag son, do you see the flag It's flying for the mad one's, it's flying for the land Can you hear the lord son, do you hear the lord He's praying for the young son, the war's never won Your heart will die a thousand times, you'll see your brothers fall The men that fight againt you, are brothers one and all All for the drums son, all for the flag All for the pipes son, all for the mad All for the drums son, all for the flag All for the pipes son, all for the mad © Copyright worldwide 15th February 2012 all rights reserved – revised 16:31 15th Feb

A citizen 03:07
lyrics
A citizen Verse 1: Have you read the papers lately have you watched the news today have you ever shaken hands with the devil and his views Are we voters hard of hearing are our eye's too blind to see cause I can't shake this feeling that we're never really free Chorus 1: I cannot count the soldiers who fight in endless wars while all the massive secrets are locked up in government drawers Verse 2: Leaders are our servants Trust us so they say but I'd rather trust a feeling than the promises they've made They say things will get better It takes time to make a change but I have the strangest feeling that they'll never change their ways Chorus 2: I cannot count the soldiers who fight in endless wars while all the massive secrets are locked up in government drawers Some would call me traitor to my country and it's flag But I tell them I'm a citizen in a world that's truly mad

Tearing out my heart 03:29
lyrics
Tearing out my heart Verse 1: We had those good times you always made me laugh We set up home together I thought that it would last You never cared to mention that I’d done nothing wrong Didn't see it going down till after you were gone Chorus 1: Will I see the sun tomorrow now this winter night has come Tears are falling on my pillow my heart is empty now it's done And the memory I’m stuck with since we shared our final dance is this picture that you left me and it's tearing out my heart Ouch, my heart Verse 2: It ain’t because you left me I feel so hurt inside I need to know the reason you went with him, and lied You do deserve each other both silent till the end As I gaze at this one photo of you and my best friend Chorus 2: Will I see the sun tomorrow now this winter night has come Tears are falling on my pillow my heart is empty now it's done And the memory I’m stuck with since we shared our final dance is this picture that you left me and it's tearing out my heart Ouch, my heart © worldwide 6th September 2011 all rights reserved
