a helmet helps

I don't mean to be overprotective
it's a solid fact that a helmet helps sometimes
you had a dream then you went and wrecked it
it's a solid fact that a helmet helps sometimes
when you loose your mind
who's gonna help you find it
who's gonna take your side
when you break your heart
who's gonna break your fall
who's gonna take that call
when you loose your mind
live can seem like some easy ride
along the countryside on a sunny day
but you can break down
any time far from any town
with not a living soul around
who will be there darling
when you're going down
grab a hold of me don't let
Old Gravity get the best of you

with love

the rock crushes the scissors
and the scissors cut the paper
but how how how does the paper beat the rock
she just wraps it up like a present
in a beautiful color
and pretty little card that reads
with love
I asked my brother
I asked my brother why
why in the heavens should I bother
why should bother to multiply
well he just points at the smile on his little boy's face
and with the same boyish smile he says I rest my case
the rock crushes the scissors
and the scissors cut the paper
but how how how does the paper beat the rock
well I asked my sister
I asked my little sister how
how can you stand your hands to blister
and your knees to bruise, how can you allow
well she shrugs her shoulders
and she rolls her eyes
brother you might be older
but you sure ain’t wise

no more honey
04:21

|

I don't need your company
said the flower to the bee
when love is sweet you come to me
when it turns sour you just leave me
I got no more honey for you
we just can't seem to agree
a sailor calling in the breeze
north or south, west or east
you're just gonna just blow me the way you please
I got no more honey for you
I need you love
I need you love so bad
but you still treat me like
I’m some kind of fool
and I just can’t have that

everyone's trying
04:22
|
|

eveyone’s trying
in their own way
turtle on it’s back
jack rabbit running down the track
everybody’s frightened
saying their own little prayer
before their own little shrine
eveyone’s trying
in their own way
the muslims and the jews
they all sing the blues
everybody’s carrying
carrying their own weight
I have to carry mine
gimme one open arm
baby give me two
I can't tell what I'm looking for
but I know you lost it too
eveyone’s trying
in their own way
the farmers and the miners
the graphic designers
everybody’s waiting
waiting for the universe to sing
and the planets to align
everyone’s trying
to start new day
to make it through the night
and wake up to a light that shines down
on their face
knowing everything is fine
gimme one loving arm
baby give me two
I can't tell what I'm looking for
but I know you want it too
gimme me some
lucky charm
something to hold on to
I can't tell what I'm looking for
but I know you've seen it too

handle it
03:45
|
|

well I have been wondering
all about this thing we got going on
love is the the most wonderous thing
but you gotta know how to handle it
right
true love and misery
two apples fallen from the same old tree
sometimes things blow the right way
but they can blow up right on your face
you gotta know how to handle it
right
you can make me so
blue when you go
that don't make it love
that don't make it love
I can hold you tight
all through the night
that don't make me your lover
that don't make it love
well I have been wondering
all about this thing we got going on
love is the the most wonderous thing
baby if you know how to handle it
right
that don't make me your lover
that don't make it love

morning lover
03:09

morning lover underneath
these covers and these sheets
we will stay the rest of the day
in retreat
morning lover we don't need
to answer for this life we lead
we both know it's shallow
but it's sweet
the rain may fall and the wind may blow
we might be snowed in
for all we know
love will come in a different guise
a different shape, a different size
and to some love will come
as a surprise
so girl if this is fate
our only sin would be to let it wait
it's not too early
and it's surely not too late
the rain may fall and the wind may blow
we might be snowed in
fish in the water and the fish don't swim
in the water and the fish don't swim
