South of Paris

by Steve Hussey

 

Somewhere in this crazy world

Somewhere south of Paris

I wrote a song about being lonely

I know you could care less

 

It’s just a problem for a day

It’s just a thing…let it fade

 

Drinking wine with every meal

Man but this is living

Eating the fresh fruit from the garden

Surrounded by some good friends

 

Don’t speak the language but that’s OK

Talking with women is easier that way

 

So let’s sing hey la la la la la la la la la la

This time we have just goes too fast

Sing hey la la la la la la la la la la

Enjoy it now before it’s passed

 

You know I have to go home soon

There’s people there who miss me

But now let’s worry about the moment

Come here girl and kiss me

 

Let’s test the waters what do you say

You know tomorrow’s just another day

 

you know I have to go…and there’s nothing I can do

 

Morgantown (My Sweet Girl)  

by Bret Carr/Steve Hussey

 

I spent all day driving

To get to your front door

You took your time and got in

Into the car I just could not afford

 

It took about ten hours

Of the drive past the bar that’s run down

To realize you were the wrong one for me

And I left my girl back in Morgantown

 

CHORUS

Whoa

Whoa

My sweet girl

Whoa

In Morgantown

 

You know I’ve always been there for you

And I just can’t help that that might change

But you know I‘ll never lose the memories

of the long dark night and kisses in the rain

 

So I dropped you off at that next bus stop

And gave you enough fare for your ride home

You know a week ago I might have been concerned

But it’s the girl in Morgantown I’m thinking of

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

You know she’s twice as beautiful

As I could remember from before

Her hair is twice as short

And a lovely color

In a shade of wonderful décor

 

But it’s so strange how we could be the same

After all this time apart

I’ve given her everything that I can give

And that’s just where I plan to start

CHORUS

 

Remember When

by Steve Hussey / Bret Carr

 

The snow’s been falling again

The cold won’t stop creeping in

Bringing back the time

Here in my heart

 

I waited on you for a long time

With a letterman’s ring and some cheap wine

 

I chased you around and back again

But the merry go round

Started over again

Your warm crooked smile will sting me again

It was a long time ago but I like to remember when

 

The sun’s been shining again

The heat won’t stop creeping in

Bring back the time

Here in my heart

 

Paintings of us in watercolor markings

Running down from the lines that we drew

Together within the mixtures and the folly

Spinning in pastel hues

 

 

End of Us

by Steve Hussey

 

Have all these dreams been broken?

Has all this been for naught?

Unseen and gone unspoken

I tried too hard to stop

 

So put aside your reasons

Put aside your life

put aside the conflict

and come with me tonight

 

I know this time

we’ll work it out

we’ll never make

the same mistakes again

but either way

it’s not been lost

but if you go

that’s the end of us

 

Saw the news this evening

same old sad old world

I thought I heard you laughing

‘cause I can’t get the girl

 

you know it’s one in millions

to find that certain one

but damn these expectations

they’ve killed this sapling love

 

Chorus

 

 

King of Fools

by Steve Hussey

 

The score is 4 to 3

you got the better part of me

it’s not a game we play but

you sure seem to think that way

 

The competition’s in your blood

you know it’s in your bones

and if you keep it up much longer

I’ll be gone gone gone

 

Should have never come this far

but you’re a superstar

a crooked player in a game

 that I now know by heart

 

I wish for once that I could be

the dealer in your game

cuz then the tides would turn

I’ll watch you as you burn burn burn

 

<CHORUS>

the oceans kiss the moon

while the world bows down to you

get on your knees and kiss the feet of he

the king

the king of fools

 

So hold your court and heads will roll

just by the words you speak

the jesters jibes will ripple through

the company you keep

 

You’ll rule your castle in the clouds

until your dying day

 So just keep dreaming man

 cuz it’s your dreams where ruler you will play

 

<Chorus>

 

 

Unspoken

by Steve Hussey

 

Unbroken

Undisturbed

Sat a letter

All unknown

I can’t touch

I know it’s from you

A message sent from without

From the blue

 

In a moment

It all fades to white

Bright days

Faultless night

Down to the day

When it all slipped away

Down to the day

You walked…you walked away

 

And now the writing’s on the wall

And there’s footsteps in the hall

How can the wrong sounds be unheard

And the wrong words be unspoken

 

Unfettered

Unaware

Plaything to a higher power

Not a thing

Or a will to sustain

Extracting life

From the pain

 

I can’t bring myself

this burden to bear

I can’t see the light

Or find my way there

Oh my lover

Where are you now

Just the thing to bring me down

I’ll see you there

 

Unbroken

Undisturbed

Sat a letter

All unknown

Can’t touch it

I know it’s from you

Just to see you once again

It’s all for you


 

Little Shove

by Steve Hussey

 

A little shove will send me on my way again

It’s been ten days since I’ve seen the sun

Spelled it out in a letter to a friend

It’s been seven weeks since I’ve been home

 

So write me a letter

Give me a call ‘cause

I don’t remember

Me and you at all

But the damned old highway’s

Just screaming out your name

And the morning rain comes like a waterfall

 

Twist and bend to try and mend it at the seams

It all fades somehow like a long lost dream

Those rusty memories getting too hard to recall

I can’t sit around expecting you to call

 

So write me a letter

Show me a sign

Send it on a wire

From your heart to mine

‘cause the radio just keeps on

singing out your name

and the morning rain comes like a waterfall

 


Baby (Baby)

by Steve Hussey

 

I’ve been sifting through

The darker side of me

Through the memories long forgotten

Kicking through the shards

Of years-old fantasies

How I got here through the long run

 

Beat up and broken down

I stand with head held high

Just bent some in reflection

All my complaining done

I finally hold my tongue

‘cause I found me some direction

 

and I’d bet on me

 

but don’t you call me baby, baby

‘cause I’m not sure just how I feel

but hang around and maybe maybe

well I will let you see

the man that I can be

 

and who’d have thought

that it could ever some this far

from a late night bar encounter

from what’s growing man I cannot comprehend

just what was in that water

 

something’s growing

where the fields had all run dry

an unexpected place to find

something rare as truth

and beautiful as you

and now that I’ve made up my mind

 I’ll bet on you

 

So won’t you call me baby, baby

Cause now I’m sure just how I feel

You hung around and baby, baby

Well now I’ll let you see

The man that I can be

 

Maribelle

by Steve Hussey

 

Come around

To my door

I won’t fail

To let you in

 

Come around

My way of thinking

To the right way

 

<pre-chorus>

If it’s silence you adore

Then I love you all the more

Unspoken is a foreign word to fools…

Maribelle

 

<chorus>

Take a seat and grab a smile

Take your coat off for a while

I want hear you laugh again

Wipe off some dusty memories

We were young and hard to please

Even though you could not be

The better half that I thought you to be

 

 

It’s all a dream

a life long past

But here we are

crossed paths again

 

I ‘d like to try

a new perspective

on an old dream

 

I know you looked my way before

From some cold and distant shore

Now I’m waiting for you will look once more

Maribelle

 

<chorus>

 

All this time

all this time

don’t let me be alone

I am tired

of this life

and of this song

 

Come full circle

from the dark

into the safety

of my arms

 


Hey Hey Oh My

by Steve Hussey

 

Had my eye on you

for a very long time

swayed hips crimson lips

and the devil in your eyes

 

I see the way you smile

when I walk into the room

nudge nudge wink wink

tell you what we need to do

 

Hey hey oh my

won’t you stay here tonight

hey hey little mama

we gonna make it alright

Hey hey oh my

won’t you stay here tonight

hey hey little mama

we gonna make it alright

 

so just let it flow my dear

let yourself unwind

just let it go my dear

cuz you know we got all night

 

right now you look so good

right here with nothing on

sit back relax

next stop….dawn

 

chorus

 

Instr. Break

 

shoulda done this a long time ago

shoudla touched you here this way

 

<KEY CHANGE…you bet>

 

<chorus>


Daisy Chain

by Steve Hussey

 

Find myself walking down the street

No particular place to go it’s hard

Weighing chances that we’ll ever meet

Stealing glances at the pretty girls it’s hard

 

Been stuck dealing with a ball and chain

My eyes tilt towards the west

Somehow it’s all the same

I’m tied up in knots

 

Find myself driving in my car

On my way to a shitty job it’s hard

Flash to the days playing in my yard

Not a care in the whole wide world it’s hard

 

Been stuck dealing with a daisy chain

Cause and effect

Somehow it’s all the same

Somehow it’s not

 

Not pretty in the aftermath

I hid it all away

Found another way

Too committed not to say

This dream wasn’t mine

 

Find myself up late at home

I watch TV but nothing’s on it’s hard

Read a book just to feel some pain

I feel nothing all is numb it’s hard

 

Been stuck dealing with a crashing train

Tearing through my heart

Somehow it’s all the same


Rewind to start
