Last Will & Testament
04:04
|

Written by Bonnie Whitmore
Fighting fires
Broken wires
It never seems to stop
Burning wild
Wood to the pile
Another scar around my heart
CH So I’ll work on my reverie
The only one that hurts is me
And I don’t need to take your time
‘Cause it’s just one more off my list
And we can seal it with a kiss
And I’ll go back to writing my
Last will and testament
Watch it burn
Will you learn?
Only time remains to tell
‘Cause when it goes
We all know
You can’t take it with you when you’re gone
CH So I’ll work on my reverie
The only one that hurts is me
And I don’t need to take your time
Cause it’s just one more off my list
And we can seal it with a kiss
And I’ll go back to writing my
Last will and testament
So here’s to you
All that you do
You’re just a lucky so-and-so

None Of My Business
03:36
|
|||
Written by Bonnie Whitmore & Astrid Swan
I sit under a tree
With the world in front of me
There’s so much that I don’t see
The distance between us
But a mocking bird it sings
A thousand different things
And who’s pulling all the strings?
What get the most attention?
But it’s none of my
None of my business
CH Day in and day out
All we really do is scream and shout
And missing what it’s really all about
You say “A players gonna play”
We should look the other way
And who’s left for it to pay
If indifferences persists us
We should all be kind
And only speak our minds
Letting all who choose be blind
And good intentions kill us
But it’s none of my,
None of my business
CH Day in and day out
All we really do is scream and shout
And missing what it’s really all about
Instead of melody
Let's find the harmony
Love forwardly
Don’t let our fears defends us
But it’s none of my, none of my,
Oh it’s none of my, none of my business

Right/Wrong
02:51
|
|||
Written by Bonnie Whitmore and Scott Davis
Who do you want to be?
Rising high with the country going by your window
From a distance it seems
Everything you love can get lost in the shadows
When you get in close, you’ll see it
Ain’t a world of make-believe
There’s so much more that’s right than wrong
Where do you want to go?
Surrounded by constant updates and endless chatter
It’s hard to hate up close
And words can get lost in the face of what really matters
When the echoes get too loud
You can pull yourself out of the clouds
There’s so much more that’s right than wrong
CH
And I would rather shake your hand
We won’t ever understand
But what’s the point of liberty and the land of the free without you and me?
What do you want to say?
How will you be remembered when the stories are written
What would be okay?
If we could just offer more than what was given
It’s not like you can take it with you
The life you live and what you can do
There’s so much more right than wrong
CH
Everybody wants to cast a wide net
Collect as many friends as you can get

Fine
03:53
|
|||
By Jaimee Harris and Bonnie Whitmore
When we first met, it was sickly sweet
I looked at you, and you looked through me
No secret I could hide or keep
We both knew we were in too deep
You light the match just to feel that spark
It’s a beautiful thing to watch it fall apart
It burns, it fades, and you’re left in the dark
And all that’s left is a broken heart
CH
Are you okay honey?
Are you looking for the exit sign?
Are you coming with me?
Know whatever you decide, I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
Is it worth the wait? Should it be forgotten?
‘Cause it’s not the first time that I’ve fallen
When you’re tattered and bruised, looking up from the bottom
Do you hold them close just because you’ve got ‘em?
CH
Would I rather be lonely and change my mind a thousand times?
If you could just hold me, maybe that’d be just fine
Is that okay honey?
Or are you looking for the exit sign?
Are you coming with me?
Know whatever you decide
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine

Asked For It
02:52
|
|||
So you think she has a daddy’s complex
I say it’s more like Uncle Joe
He gave a nickel, working girl’s wages
Push it away or let it go
Push it away or watch it grow
CH
She’s the kind of girl you say asked for it (asked for it)
Didn’t see it coming, but she asked for it
Cross and hope to die ‘cause you asked for it (asked for it)
Now baby, baby, don’t you cry
There are few who try for retribution
Statistics show it’s more like one of six (five)
Don’t worry, they probably know or knew them
‘Cause after all, sex is sex
And after all, sex is sex
CH
So go on and blame the victim!
Why should violence have consequence?
And each time you silence them
Recreates the same event
CH
She’s the kind of girl you said asked for it (asked for it)
Didn’t see it coming, but she asked for it
Your lover or your daughter must have asked for it (asked for it)
Now baby, baby, don’t you cry
She’s the kind of girl you said asked for it (asked for it)
Your sister or your mother must have asked for it
Cross and hope to die ‘cause you asked for it (asked for it)
Now baby, baby, don’t you cry (She didn’t ask for it)
Now baby, baby, don’t you cry (She didn’t ask for it)
Now baby, baby, don’t you cry

Time To Shoot
03:48
|
|||
Time to shoot, take the shot
Show the world what you got
When it’s done, when you’re gone
Were you right, or were you wrong?
When it’s yours, what’s the cost
Is it truly worth the lost?
When you’re broken, will you heal
When there’s nothing left to feel?
CH
The question on my mind:
Why did it seem worth it at the time?
For the truth, for the war
To know what you’re fighting for
‘Cause it’s not about faith
If all you hold is to hate
When it’s black, or if it’s blue
The choice is only up to you
And if you’re scared, don’t feed the fears
‘Cause we’ve shed a thousand tears
CH
Time to shoot, take the shot
And is it worth it?
Time to shoot, take the shot
And is it worth it?
Time to shoot, take the shot
And is it worth it?
Is it worth it?

Love Worth Remembering
05:21
|
|||
Just two old fools, who grew up too slow
The ones that you choose, ones you let go
The heart is a vast, mysterious place
You take in the love though you know it will break
CH
But I make you laugh, and you make me sing
Finally at last, I know what I’m doing
And I’ve got your back, don’t mention a thing
Just glad that we have a love worth remembering
When I’m looking back, I knew from the start
Too scared of the chance, it falling apart
I want to no longer mourn its loss
Only to love you, no matter the cost
CH
‘Cause I make you laugh, and you make me sing
Finally at last, I know what I’m doing
And I’ve got your back, don’t mention a thing
Just glad that we have a love worth remembering
Now there’s comfort and peace in unconditional love
It’s not what you get back, but the giving of
CH
When I made you laugh, and you helped me sing
The moments they pass, a slow steady stream
I still got your back, I won’t mention a thing
Just glad that we have a love worth remembering
I’m glad that we have a love worth remembering

Imaginary
03:33
|

It’s not imaginary
Lines we try to bury
Hold out and be contrary
Who gets to be extraordinary?
But it won’t let go
It’s seems the more you know
The possibility to grow
Doesn’t have much to show
CH
And it’s just passing us by
We all weep and cry
‘Til the last one falls
Don’t we all?
Sleep will come
As soon as our work is done
United we become
Equal as to everyone
To keep it through the night
What we know to be right
Don’t let it out of sight
And don’t fear the light
CH
‘Cause it’s just passing us by
We all weep and cry
‘Til the last one falls
Yes, you can decide
Or say we all tried
As the last one falls
Didn’t we all?
Don’t we all?
It’s not imaginary

Flashes & Cables
03:42
|
|||
If we found the time
If we found the merriment
If we found the words
We'd scratch them in new cement
But those days are gone
We've got only pictures now
A rotary wheel and some leftover shotgun shells
CH
Nobody told us that the bastards were here
All the rogues and the scoundrels are shedding their tears
No, nobody told us that the cameras were here
All the flashes and cables
Won't someone please save us
By our request
Please turn in your uniforms
Medallions and pins
For the Aries and Capricorns
File your complaints with this rookie officer
He'll lend you a smile
He'll lend you his deafest ear
CH
Nobody told us that the bastards were here
All the rogues and the scoundrels are shedding their tears
No, nobody told us that the cameras were here
All the flashes and cables
Won't someone please save us
Bah bah deout

George's Lullaby
03:47
|
|||
CH
You know how a heartbeat
Both rises and falls
Follow the breath
As it ebbs and flows
Remember the time
When three became four
The beat that brought me to you
When you lose your heart
In that first tug of war
The bass feels the heartbeat
On two and then four
Love bleeds of anguish
Once again and once more
The low end, the rhythm
The heart it beats for
CH
You know how a heartbeat
Both rises and falls
Follow the breath
As it ebbs and flows
Counting in time
Both in rhythm and rhyme
The beat that brought me to you
I’ll love you for always
You’ll be in my heart
For the love and the laughter
Will beat in my heart
May it be with you forever always
Start at the beginning
And sing it once more
CH
You know how a heartbeat
Both rises and falls
Follow the breath
As it ebbs and flows
Remember the time
When three became four
The beat that brought me to you
They say that the hearing’s
The last thing to go
So my friend, my heart
Heart beats once more
Be with you forever
With me always
I’ll see you again
Somewhere and some-when
I’ll see you again someday
