I Can Rock, I'm a King
When you died in 2009,
Brother, I cried 40 days and 40 nights
For months I saw your guitar on the bed
Right where you left it the last time you used it to shred
Then one day, I just picked up that guitar
I didn't want it to sit there like an obsolete VCR
Heaven knows, I practiced every day for years and years
I'll never be as good as you, but I've learned through the pain and tears
And now
I command each and every string
I can rock, I'm king
With you
I can do anything
I can rock, I'm a king
With you
I dreamed of being just like you
I guess that's what little brothers do
And even though you're on the other side
The gap between us isn't so wide
And now
I command each and every string
I can rock, I'm king
With you
I can do anything
I can rock, I'm a king
With you

She Smiles Sunshine
Oh, she smiles sunshine
Oh, she smiles sunshine
Guaraná was my date as I sat underneath the banyan
But when she walked by, I forgot my carbonated companion
I jumped to my feet and I followed her thru the sand
She was the prettiest thing you've ever seen, you've got to understand
Now I see her everyday
But I just can't say hello
She's a goddess from heaven
And I'm just an average Joe
Oh, she smiles sunshine
Oh, she smiles sunshine
When I see her on the beach
The feeling's so divine
Oh, she smiles sunshine
Well I've gotta get to know her, but I've got to do it right
Maybe rescue her from criminals in a staged fight
I could act like a tourist and ask her how to surf
Or give her love potion made by a magic smurf
Now I see her everyday
But I just can't say hello
She's a goddess from heaven
And I'm just an average Joe
Oh, she smiles sunshine
Oh, she smiles sunshine
When I see her on the beach
The feeling's so divine
Oh, she smiles sunshine
Just gotta be myself
I've known what to do all along
Not gonna use any gimmicks
Just gonna sing her my song
Oh, she smiles sunshine
Oh, she smiles sunshine
When I see her on the beach
The feeling's so divine
Oh, she smiles sunshine

Up, Up, Up and Away You Go
Hurray hurray hurray we have our favorites!
They didn't eat one and so now they get two
They are among the favored few
Hurray, Hurray, Hurray we have our favorites!
On Friday Friday Friday, it's our harvest party
We'll celebrate our two brightest tots,
And it will be time to pick the crops
On Friday Friday Friday it's our harvest party
No way No Way no way it's not fair,
Because they are the favorites today
We're going to send them up and away
No way No Way no way it's not fair
Up, up, up and away you go
We don't want to keep the favorites around
Our parents reasoning is too unsound
Up, up, up and away you go
Up, up, up and away you go

10,000 Miles
It's four AM and I'm alone again
The room is spinning around my head
I don't know where I am or where I should be
I wish I could be there with you
There's 101 things we could do
So far away from you, non compos mentis
You're 10,000 miles away
And I should have been there yesterday
Well, you know it's alright
Cause I've got wings
Sittin' in this tube again
Picklin' and a prunin' my airy red
I've been here for three days, it feels good
I got me a puppy the other day
It had your face, so I gave it your name
It's a smelly little dog, it's you
You're 10,000 miles away
And I should have been there yesterday
Well, you know it's alright
Cause I've got wings
Tell me what you see, what you see in me
Tell me what you see, what you see in me
You're 10,000 miles away
And I should have been there yesterday
Well, you know it's alright
Cause I've got wings
You're 10,000 miles away
And I should have been there yesterday
Well, you know it's alright
Cause I've got wings

Ici-bas
Ici-bas tous les lilas meurent,
Tous les chants des oiseaux sont courts,
Je rêve aux étés qui demeurent toujours
Ici-bas les lèvres effleurent
Sans rien laisser de leur velours,
Je rêve aux baisers qui demeurent toujours
Ici-bas, tous les hommes pleurent
Leurs amitiés ou leurs amours;
Je rêve aux couples qui demeurent,
aux couples qui demeurent,
qui demeurent toujours

Grapefruit
Ruby and Joe were married just two years
When Ruby read a book by Dr. Glover
Chapter three, it said couples must discuss
What they find annoying in each other
Ruby recalled Joe's irritating habits
Like leaving jeans in the hall and dreaming of being tall
But worst of all
Was the way he ate Grapefruit
Yeah, I said Grapefruit
He peeled them with his hands
He never used a spoon or a knife
He wiped them out completely
One section at a time
So Ruby Decided to have a chat with Joe
Chat about the thing he did that got her so uptight
One night after he got back from stacking sacks of corn all day
She said, "Joseph, we've got to talk tonight"
"Something you do just drives me crazy"
"What do I do," he asked with surprise in his eyes
She replied,
"It's the way you eat grapefruit"
"Yeah, I said grapefruit"
"You peel them with you hands"
"You never use a spoon or a knife"
"You wipe them out completely"
"One section at a time"
Now Ruby sighed and said, "It's your turn"
"What is it that bothers you most about me"
Joe took off his coat and scratched his head
He looked in the face and said,
"There's nothing, there's nothing I don't like about you girl"
Now Ruby was shocked and soaked with shame
Joe had never noticed her little quirks
She hesitated and looked at the floor
Then she said, "I'm sorry"
She never said another word
For the next 50 years
She never said another word
About the way he ate grapefruit
Yeah, I said grapefruit

Gotta Keep Rollin' On
The tempest explodes over my head
Darkness drops like a bomb
I'm as good as dead
Gotta keep rollin' on
Sloggin' along thru trenches and mud
All I have to give is this song
And a few pints of blood
Gotta keep rollin' on
Over and over again
I bow my head
and I pray to the Lord above
Give me the strength to carry on
Please don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone!
Rollin' along, singin' this song
In spite of the tears and the strain
Oh, everything's gone wrong
Gotta keep rollin' on
In front of me, like a burning sea,
The very jaws of Hell
Gaping for me
Gotta keep rollin' on
Over and over again
I bow my head
and I pray to the Lord above
Give me the strength to carry on
Please don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone!
One day, the sun will rise
And all of my pain will vaporize
But until that time
Gotta keep rollin' on

You Give Me Wings
When I am down with a heavy, heavy heart
And my face is against the ground
You walk right over
And lift me up
I feel my soul take flight
You give me wings
And I climb
Oh how I climb through the sky
Your smile sings
When I'm with you,
Oh I can do anything
Anything
This life can be so very hard sometimes
But you've given me the key
So I walk right over
And lift another
I feel my soul take flight
You give me wings
And I climb
Oh how I climb through the sky
Your smile sings
When I'm with you,
Oh I can do anything
Anything
You give me wings
And I climb
Oh how I climb through the sky
Your smile sings
When I'm with you,
Oh I can do anything
Anything

Met You You on Monday
Rolling in the Deep
There's a fire stirring in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I leave with every of piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
I know each and every turtleneck on your shelf
Watch your back when you go to dress yourself
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat
Girl, I have not story to be told
But I've heard one on you, and it's gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home with Pisces sipping mal de mer
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You have my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat
Throw you out, out heaven's door
Count yourself lucky if your facedown on the floor
I'll turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You know you're gonna sink and reap just what you've sown
Rolling in the deep
Tears are gonna fall
Rolling in the deep
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You have my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat

All Rights ReservedMet you on Monday
Met you on Monday
Met you on Monday
Under sapphire skies
You took my breath away
When I looked in your eyes
Dreamed about us two
Until Tuesday's sunrise
And now I can't get you
Get you out of my mind
Oh it's so crazy, amazing, and fascinating
When I love ignites so fast
It's like I'm on a rocket flying thru space
When romance is such a blast
You called me Wednesday
Said you ordered a pie
Found you without delay
We each had a big slice
Oh it's so crazy, amazing, and fascinating
When I love ignites so fast
It's like I'm on a rocket flying thru space
When romance is such a blast
Now every day's Friday
With you here by my side

You will always be mine

Just Gotta Jump
Oh donkeys, elephants, and celebrity baboons!
The party is over, your stench no longer entombs
Morning breaks
Night is scourged
The filth of Zion is washed away
Jerusalem is purged
Just Gotta Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Don’t be shy
Just Gotta Jump, jump, jump, jump
Reach the sky
Where eagles fly
Way up high
Just gotta jump
Just gotta jump
Just gotta jump
Just gotta jump
Deceivers, false teachers, barbies, and mules!
You sold your souls for the honor of the world, for power, and for jewels
Now morning breaks
Night is scourged
The filth of Zion is washed away
Jerusalem is purged
Just Gotta Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Don’t be shy
Just Gotta Jump, jump, jump, jump
Reach the sky
Where eagles fly
Way up high
Just gotta jump
Just gotta jump
Just gotta jump
Just gotta jump
No reason to be down
Just gotta jump, jump, jump,
Just Gotta Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Don’t be shy
Just Gotta Jump, jump, jump, jump
Reach the sky
Where eagles fly
Way up high
Just gotta jump
Just gotta jump

Run Away from Today
My blanket falls to the floor on a cold afternoon
I’m a single soul in a double-wide bed
The laughter has fled, an agony has spread
Through my body, and deep into my head
If I could run away from today all the way to yesterday
Can’t you see, I would be in her arms again
If I could run away from today all the way to yesterday
Can’t you see I would be happy again
I’m a captive in this room, I'm surrounded by sorrow
The sorrow that my broken heart has bled
If I could run away from today all the way to yesterday
Can’t you see, I would be in her arms again
If I could run away from today all the way to yesterday
Can’t you see I would be happy again
Time moves so slowly
It oppresses me
Why’d she have to leave me?
If I could run away from today all the way to yesterday
I’d be in her arms again, again
Oh, to hold her next to me
It would be ecstasy!
But the past is history, and getting there, well that’s a mystery
So here and now is where I’m gonna stay ©2011 Addison Glic

My Mind's Eye is Glued to You
Most blind dates are over before they begin
But you and I, we said "hello" at six and goodbye at four AM
I walked you home underneath the stars
You kissed my cheek
Haven't washed that part of my face once in the past week
My boss is on my case
My fantasy team is in last place
Sleep has given me and IOU
'Cause, my mind's eye is glued to you
Most employees have 60 minutes for lunch
But today we took three hours slammin' french fries and fruit punch
I drove you back to your office
You kissed my lips
Now I feel like I just won fifty monster truck championships
My boss is on my case
My fantasy team is in last place
Sleep has given me and IOU
'Cause, my mind's eye is glued to you
And I see better now than I've ever seen before
My boss is on my case
My fantasy team is in last place
Sleep has given me and IOU
'Cause, my mind's eye is glued to you

Somebody to Love
For you I'd write a symphony
I'd tell the violin, "It's time to sink or swim"
Watch them play for you
For you I'd run over a thousand miles
Just to get to where you are
Step to the beat of my heart
I know I won't be the first one giving you all this attention
Baby listen
I just need somebody to love
I don't need too much, just somebody
Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else
I just need somebody to love
I need somebody, I need somebody
Every day I bring the sun around
I wipe away the clouds, smile for me
I would take every second, every single time
Spend it like my last dime
Step to the beat of my heart
I don't need a whole from you
But I want to give you the world or you can share mine
I know I won't be the first one giving you all the attention
Baby listen
I just need somebody to love
I don't need too much, just somebody
Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else
I just need somebody to love
And you can have it all
Anything you want, I can bring, give you the finer things
But what I really want, I can't find, 'cause money can't buy me
Somebody to love
I don't need too much, just somebody
Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else
I just need somebody to love

Talking Burritos
It only happens very late at night
When the moon is shinning out of sight
The TV's off, my retainer's in
The fridge is making that sound again
Up the stairs and into the hall
They storm my room, ready to brawl
Talking burritos
Jumping on my bed
Talking burritos
Bouncing on my head
Telling me to grab a broom
And sweep the bathroom
Why won't they just leave me alone
Or at least call me on my phone
Then I wouldn't have to see their faces
Their little teeth and crusty braces
Chicken Cheese all over my floor
Pinto beans smeared on my door
Talking burritos
Jumping on my bed
Talking burritos
Bouncing on my head
Telling me to grab a broom
And sweep the bathroom
I think I could handle it if it were peaches
Or maybe hamburgers, hubcaps, or pizza
Talking burritos
Jumping on my bed
Talking burritos
Bouncing on my head
Telling me to grab a broom
And sweep the bathroom
