Gonna Drive
(Winters,Sherman)
Well I saw a new road while I was driving
And I won't stay here where I'm only just surviving
I know one sure way to lighten my load
Gonna drive gonna drive 'till I run out of road
Gonna go somewhere I don't know
Glide down the coast to the gulf of Mexico
Roll on through where everything is new
Drive 'till I just forget about you
Well I might head north and I won't think twice
And I'll keep my heading while the road turns to ice
Gonna go somewhere I don't know...
There's too much emotion to hang around
I could swim across the ocean and find new ground
Get up off the shore
Steal a set of wheels and drive some more
Gonna go somewhere I don't know...

Secrets To The Grave
(Winters,Sherman)
I remember everything I see
There's nothing wrong with my memory
I'm not the kind to write it all down
I've seen some things that would make you weep
Those stories are mine to keep
You're never going to hear me make a sound
Our privacy is in retreat
Wave to the cameras on the street
I can't afford to go live in a cave
Many would say that it's all in play
And what's the difference anyway
But I'm taking all my secrets to the grave
I swear I'll keep it all to myself
But I know where the skeletons lie
No promises no money gonna make me tell
Right up to the day I die
Could it be a lie could it be true
Who did what and who did who
I know what all the whisperers crave
Maybe I'm crazy maybe I'm brave
Maybe I got no soul to save
But I'm taking all my secrets to the grave

Last Call In Montreal
(Winters,Sherman)
Pretty young boys from N.D.G.
Got that andro look running free
We're gonna rock that stage again tonight
Gonna live forever in that vampire light
Pretty young blondes come dance and sing along
Drive all the way downtown from Dorion
They see a chance to get a little wild
Break away from their suburban lifestyle
Come on come all
Last call in Montreal
How far can you roam
I think I've seen it all
Last call in Montreal
And I'm a long long way from home
And the dealers and hookers hang out there too
There are hustles to be played
And debts past due
And the bikers say boy
How do you keep the girls coming down
I said man if I knew
I'd bottle and sell it 'round
Come on come all
Last call in Montreal
How far can you roam
I think I've seen it all
Last call in Montreal
And I'm a long long way from home
Come on come all
Last call in Montreal
Even when you win you know you lose
Tell me have you seen it all
Last call in Montreal
We're all on a hundred year cruise
I'm talking about places from long ago
I'm thinking about friends I used to know
Polaroid pictures on a window sill
But I know somewhere
Those boys are rocking it still
Last call in Montreal...

Nobody's Valentine
(Winters,Sherman)
She was funny as a standup
She said I don't need a hand up
She was pretty as a picture
I said baby what a mixture
Tease me say I'm too stable
Kick me under the table
Struck down I'm hanging my head
Walking away knowing that she said
I'm nobody's valentine
I hide my heart away and I'm just fine
Baby you could sing me an old love song
And I might even be singing along
You could tell me what a team we make
But I remember every old heartbreak
And now I'll never cross that line
I'm nobody's valentine
I don't want to believe her
I said I'd never leave her
I'm caught she's looking so fine
I'm lost begging her to be mine
She said I've never been more sure
You know I've heard it before
Shot down I'm feeling half dead
Fading away knowing that she said
I'm nobody's valentine...
She's not looking for a heart attack
Leave her a message and she might call back
Maybe she won't and maybe she will
Maybe you'll be hanging out waiting there still
Show you now I've learned my lesson
Tell you now I am confessin'
That will be the last mistake
That will be the last heartache
I'm nobody's valentine...

Little Alamo
(Winters,Sherman)
The kids are marching
Do you hear what they're saying
Your world is changing
Your money means nothing
They have to breathe the air you made
They know the price that's paid
They're hungry for a better way
And they didn't go to school today
They see you bragging
While you're circling the wagons
What are you expecting
What are you protecting
Cause that's not freedom
That's not what you're losing
Maybe you've long forgot
But you ain't no patriot
Hey boy where will you go
Will you find your own little Alamo
Lock the doors and watch the sky
Is that the hill where you want to die
Hey boy you're already too late
The kids are banging at the gate
You think they're going to wait
Going to wait for you
See the ones in the rainbow
They know more than you know
They see more than you see
When you point blindly
You're drunk on your freedom
That's not what you're losing
You look like a dinosaur
They'll pick their battles in a bigger war
Hey boy where will you go...
Do you know your history
You're in the wrong century
You look a little desperate
Or maybe illiterate
You don't like their colour
Or the sound of their language
But they're not going to go away
And they didn't go to school today
Hey boy where will you go...

Living On The Letdown
(Winters,Sherman)
Squeeze your hand into a fist
Place two fingers on your wrist
A heart that makes no sound
Is a heart shutdown
Move into a room for one
Where windows don't face the sun
And promises unmade
Leave a heart betrayed
Pictures on a social scene
Show a set routine
Long days and longer nights
Minor chords and lesser lights
Gone beyond right or wrong
No smile lasts too long
Dance all night at the Rolling Stone
But only dance alone
And all the things you do
Are called just getting through
And I know so many who could tell you
Your heart is only frozen
Do you wonder if it will ever beat again
When you're living on the letdown
Living on the rebound
Giving up on the high ground
And all the things you do...
I know so many who could tell you
You're heart is only frozen
I wonder if it will ever heat up again
When you're living on the letdown
Living on the rebound
Giving up on the high ground
(
Rebound, living on the letdown
Letdown, looking for the high ground
High ground, living on the letdown
Rebound, living on the rebound
Let go, flying on solo
So low you don't know what you don't know
Can't cry, don't care why
Get by, get by
)
When you only dance alone
Now you're living on the letdown..

Cold Cold Day
(Winters,Sherman)
Anyone can prosper
Every dog has his day
But when you're born with power
You can surely get your way
You can surely grow your money
When you've got it from the start
But it takes a special genius
To let it all fall apart
It's gonna be a cold cold day
When your world falls down around you
No friends to surround you
Nowhere left to hide
It's gonna be a cold cold day
When your devils call your number
Rise up from their slumber
They're gonna stab you with your pride
It's a complicated world
With many shades of grey
You can keep your false bravado
And all the games you play
You can keep your simple answers
For your scared and simple base
But you got no solution
For the change you can't erase
It's gonna be a cold cold day...
You fell for your ego
And you opened up that gate
Should have stayed under the radar
Now it's much too late
It's gonna be a cold cold day...

Half Past Night
(Winters,Sherman)
Sometimes it's a hard world
You're out there on your own
No one's ever cleared a path for you
The only life you've ever known
I can't give you all you deserve
I can't wave away the pain
Some things we just can't control
Like the wind and the rain
But no one knows you like I do
No one can ease your mind like me
When the time is half past night
When the glow is candlelight
One thing that I know is true
The only one who matters in the world is you
Only you are in my sight
The whole world's gonna be all right
When time is passing slow
The only one who matters when the lights are low
Only you when your eyes are bright
When the time is half past night
I know you see what I see
Nothing could make this wrong
In a world of shifting sands
I know I'm where I belong
The sun is down with hours to fill
Voices soft and the world is still
And no one knows you like I do
And no one can soothe your soul like me
When the time is half past night...

River Run
(Winters,Sherman)
When that cloud is low and I feel the pain
Colour me like a subtle stain
Cold and slow like November rain all day
I know a way to break that grip
I know a place and I make that trip
The pressures slide and the worries slip away
There are a million suns
Out where the river runs
I'm gonna jump right in
Get some water on my skin
There are so many ways
To spend any single day
But this is my life my voice my choice
And it's here I'm gonna stay
I'll meet you where the sun reflects
We'll take in what the rest rejects
Who cares what the world expects today
We can watch the whirlpools spin
Shoot the rapids for the win
Where waterfalls have always been at play
There are a million suns...

HUMAN NATURE
(Winters,Sherman)
Sunscreen for sunshine
Umbrellas in the rain
We save ourselves from pleasure
In avoiding any pain
Moral little people
We keep ourselves repressed
Hide from the shame
We keep ourselves all dressed
Stagger with our baggage
As we march along in step
All that western luggage
It’s such a pretty set
While we envy the frenzy
Of rituals and rites
Of the gods of fertility
Dancing in the night
Careful what you say, might scare them away
Wouldn’t look too good, wonder if you should (It’s too late)
Faces in the crowd, don’t say that out loud
Keep it to yourself, worry about your health
NATURE
IT’S ONLY HUMAN NATURE
YOU CAN’T FIGHT HUMAN NATURE
Breathe, live, love, mate (Step right up and have a go)
Sleep, eat, die, fate (What have you got to lose?)
Our passion for irrational
Will never be fulfilled
Superstitions weaken
And still the pressures build
They’re ancient, they’re heady
Through the turning of the tides
While we batten down the hatches
They’re perverting out the sides
