LYRICS

Now And Then

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

Life is a river until it runs dry
Draining it all at both ends
And wasted all the time
I look to the stars and see
Forever shining down on me
How long is forever
It was just now and then
Until the end
It would all come back around again
Life is a fire until it fades away
Your burning it all at both ends
And wasted every day
I look to the sky and see
All the time that’s left for me
I can’t wait forever
It was just now and then
Until the end
It would all come back around again
Time can deceive you
Looking back it’s so true
Don’t realize this way
That time will never wait for you
All through the years now
Time fades away
You better save that wish for another day
It was just here and now
Need to get back there somehow
Only one more day
And Time fades away
Time Fades away

Smokin

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

I smoke too much and it makes me cough
I smoke so much now I can’t get off
You lie so much it makes you cry
You cry so much it makes me high
Lie down in your own sorrow
Well, I lost my mind ten years ago in a brain crash
I lost it down that old dark road in your own past
You found it just a while ago but it won’t last
I lost my mind ten years ago
I don’t think I want it back
You don’t like to drink and drive
Well I’ll take you for a ride
You don’t like to drink and drive
Well I’ll take you for the ride of your life
You wanna go for a ride?
The ride of your life

To Be

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

Look in the mirror
What does it show you now
Are you the person you remember
Or have you grown somehow
I can’t change, you can’t change, it’ll always be the same
Nothing ever changes and Life rearranges
They said it would be different if you try
But you won’t and neither will I
I can’t change, you can’t change, it’ll always be the same
Nothing ever changes and life rearranges turning us into strangers
To our selves
Will this last together
It all comes back around full circle in your mind
When you see you’ve left yourself behind
I can’t change, you can’t change, it’ll always be the same
Nothing ever changes and life rearranges turning us into strangers
To our selves
Plastic people taking off the skin
Reminds us all of what might have been and what will never be
What might have been and what was meant to be
Will this last together
It all comes back around
Full circle in your mind
When you see you’ve left yourself behind
I can’t change, you can’t change, it will always be the same
Nothing ever changes and life rearranges turning us into strangers
Even to our selves
I can’t change, you cant change, it will always be the same
Nothing ever changes
Look in the mirror
What does it show you now

Wetnap

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree


Oh yeah
She’s still in the evening
She sleeps in the night
She dreams of being near me
She thinks everything’s gonna be all right
She still is daydreaming
She waits in the light
She thinks he is (s)creaming
She believes she is right
We believe in you
Oh yeah believe in you
Oh yeah believe in you
There’s no peace in love
There’s no sex in war
There’s no help from above
You don’t believe anymore
You don’t believe anymore
No, no, no you don’t believe anymore
No, no, no you don’t believe anymore
No, no, no you don’t believe
We believe in dreams
We believe in these
We believe in truth
We believe in you
There’s no peace in love
There’s no sex in war
There’s no more help from above
You don’t believe
You don’t believe anymore
No, no, no you don’t believe anymore
No, no, no you don’t believe anymore

Fourteen Sundays

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

Fourteen Sundays
A good gesture in a civilized world
It’s been more than that
Since the last time I saw my baby girl
Now I’m writing to you
To let you know I feel
Now I’m down and trammeled
I fear that I let myself drown again
I prayed for the Sun
And then came the rain
I waited on the only one
And I waited in vain
I prayed for the Sun
To change the name
Will it wash away the day
Now my shadow’s gone
The sky is hazy
And I feel like it’s gonna rain down
I don’t wanna bore you full of holes
You drive me crazy
And I’ll keep my long thoughts short
I prayed for the Sun
And then came the rain
I waited on the only one
And I waited in vain
I prayed for the Sun
To change the way
Will it wash away the blame
Will it wash away, wash away the name
Fourteen Sundays
Will it wash away, wash away the day
Fourteen Sundays
I prayed for the Sun
And then came the rain
I waited on the only one
And I’m waiting here again
I prayed for the Sun
To take me away
Will it wash away the day
Will it wash away, wash away the name
Will it wash away, wash away the day
Will it wash away, wash away the rain
Fourteen Sundays

Lightning in the Rainbow

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

You took a piece of me when you went away
There’s nothing left to give and nothing left to say
And on and on it all goes down until we meet the end
I didn’t tell you because I thought you were my friend
Don’t tell me how to live
Or who to do what with
Don’t tell me how to feel
I think I know what is real
It’ always the same
Whenever you walk away
It’s always the same
Playing the same old game
Don’t tell me what’s right
When I stay out all night
Don’t tell me where to go
I’ve been to hell and back don’t you know
Don’t tell me how to feel
I think I know what is real
Don’t tell me no more
No, don’t tell me
I was lonely how could I know
I’d find the lightning in the rainbow
Don’t tell me how to live
Don’t tell me how to feel
Don’t tell me what’s right
Don’t tell me anymore
You took a piece of me – There’s nothing left to say

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Home

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

I need to find my home
I need to find my home
Find my home
I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to be alone anymore
Wake the lonley, something’s wrong
Wake the lonley, something’s wrong
I’ve been here all my life
I’ve been here all alone
Until I find my way
Until I find my way
Wake the lonely
Wake the lonely
Something’s wrong - Something
Will I ever find my way with the lonely
With the lonely nothing’s wrong
Ya,Ya - I think I found my home
And I, I will never be alone
Never be alone again
Never be alone again
Nothing’s Wrong
Nothing’s Wrong
Nothing’s Wrong anymore
Nothing’s Wrong anymore
I found my home with the lonely
With the lonely – with the lonely
We’re the Lonely

Inside of Us All

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

It was different than that for me
You get inside of me
And try to touch my soul
And it was fantasy
So deep and full
You stand beside for all to see
And still there’s wonder again
Don’t understand this feeling inside of me
But it makes me see plain again
Don’t understand this feeling inside of me
But here it comes again
Do you believe what lies inside
Can you relive whats in your eyes
Do you believe what lies inside
Inside of us all
It was different than that for you
They get inside of you
And try to make tell
But it was made for me
You tried to sell me
On the surface you’re hard to reach
But still I know it’s in there
You can’t explain the feeling inside of you
But it makes you feel sane again
You can’t explain the feeling inside of you
But here it comes again
Can you relive what’s in your eyes
Do you believe what lies inside
Do you believe what lies inside
Inside of us all
Can you relive what’s in your eyes
Do you believe what lies inside
Can you relive what’s in your eyes
Do you believe what lies inside
Inside of us all

Why

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

Why did you turn away, turn away from me
It’s everything you say
You took everything, stole it all form me
And gave it all away
Why
We tried, we tried to let you be
But it came back to me
It’s everything you see
They helped you run away
They showed you where to stay
It’s all the same to me
Now you can’t believe it’s all come down on you
Those feelings – you held out for so long
Why
It’s everything you say
You gave it all away
It’s all the same to me
Now you can’t believe it’s all come down on you
Those feelings – you held out for so long
Now you can’t believe it’s all come down on you
That ceiling you held up for so long
It all came back to me
It’s all the same to me
Now you can’t believe it’s all come down on you
Those feelings – you held out for so long
Now you can’t believe it’s all come down on you
That ceiling you held up for so long

Wanna be Free

Lyrics and Composition - Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

Read between the lines and discover what’s been hiding away
Read between the lines and you may find that you are not the only one
Afraid of what you might find but you keep coming back for more
Don’t ever turn your back away, not for another day
So you wanna be free
Just come with me
So you wanna be free
Don’t look the other way
Secret of a whisper will bring it back again
The way you watch your water fall until you found a friend
Look the other way to keep you coming back again
Look the other way to keep you coming back again
So you wanna be free
Just come with me
So you wanna be free
Don’t look now
Stab in the back two faced sucker
Take the hit now take the fall
I can’t be pushed when I’m against the wall
I won’t kick you down but I’ll take you out on your way
Saving face now two faced sucker
Swing at my back now fend my attack
I can’t be pushed when I’m on the wall
On my way home
What’s the matter with you now
So you wanna be free
That’s fine with me
So you wanna be free
Go ahead and try
So you wanna be free
Read between the lines and you just might find there’s a finger in there
Read between the lines

SOMETHING

Lyrics and Composition – Mike McNeil and Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

You’ve got something
Something that I need
You’ve got everything
Everything I believe in
And you’ve got that one thing
Deep inside of you
You’ve got everything
Whatcha gonna do now
I feel for you
It’s all I wanted too
You’ve got something
You got something that I need
I want you to grab my scrotum and give it a big squeeze
My scrotum is throbbing
My scrotum is what you need
Now you want everything
Its part of your disease
And you give it all girl when you’re on your knees
You want something
But it ain’t love that you’re thinkin of
You want something
But it ain’t love
Take another shot at me is that what you want (4x)
This ain’t love but it’s what you want (2x)
There’s something about you (2x)
It’s all about you
There’s something about you
It’s all about you
You got something I need
There’s something about you (4x)
You want everything
And take what you want (3x)
You’ve got everything
Everything you do
It’s all about you (2x)

The Web

Lyrics and Composition – Jeff Goodwin
Music – Forth Degree

Livin free to ride the Livewire
Livin free to Ride
They’ve takin everything - we’ve taken to the wing
With nothing left to loose and nothing left to choose
Livin free to ride the Livewire
We’ve got to get out on the web before we die
The net will (net’ll) be there to catch you if…
Your mama taught you how to crawl
And now she peeling you off that wall
There’s a place you can go
And no one will ever know
We’ve got to get out on the web before we die
The net will be there to catch you if you fall
The net will be there to catch you if you fall
What’s online
You’ve read it a million times
Cyber boy search the world for your cyber girl
Cyber boy search the world where’s your cyber girl
Get on the Web before you die
The net will be there to catch you if you fall
The net will be there to catch you if you fall
Live free or die hell ya
Live free or die hell ya
We gotta get out on the Web
We gotta get on the web before we die
