SHOW A LITTLE LOVE** 4:34
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze, Ron Taylor) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASCAP)
You can’t ride upon the wings
of all your broken dreams
Someday you’ve got to give it up
In between the lines you’ll see
I’m giving you a sign
Your attitude is just too tough
You don’t know what I want all night
Why don’t you make your dreams come true
I’ll show you how Here’s what you do
Chorus:
Show a littie love
Give a littie love
All I want from you is one thing
Show your love to me
Look up to the skies,
I see desire in your eyes
But you can’t keep it in your heart
Let’s take the night and
then we’ll sleep by candlelight
While flames of love are burning
in the dark.
You tell me you love me, oh no
Now I can’t tell the lies from truth
So prove me wrong
Here’s what you can do
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
(Repeat)

MISERY LOVES COMPANY* 3:26
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASGAP)
Down and out, like a fox on the run
My baby’s gone, now I’m the lonely one
On top of that, it looks like I’m going bald
My friends are two faced, and my money’s gone
I got a ticket when my car broke down
A rainy day, now, what else could go wrong?
Bridge 1:
Now who’s the judge? What’s my crime?
Ain’t no sentence, but I’m still doing time.
Chorus:
Cuz Misery
Misery Loves Company
Cuz Misery, Misery
Misery Loves Company
Cold and hungry like a dog in the street
I get a raw deal, everyone I meet
All I want is some lovin’ and a little respect, that’s all
The poor get nothing while the rich get fat
Start living good, the I.R.S. takes that
I kinda wonder if there’s really any good at all, at all
Bridge 2:
So what’s it like To have a smile?
I’d like to have one, but it’s not my style
Chorus
Solo
Bridge 1
Chorus (Repeat)

SHE LIKES IT ON TOP** 3:55
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze, Ron Taylor) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASGAP)
So you feel a little lonely girl
Well you know you’re used to that one
Now the taste of sweet success
Is on your lips, you always want some
Picture perfect innocence
Behind a guard that she can’t drop
She’s been around the world
Now she’s back on the top
Chorus:
She wants everything put in her lap
Yeah she likes it on top
She’s in the right place
Though all along you knew it was wrong
The taste of blood got to ya
Now everyone who’s on your list
you know they gotta do something for ya
Not a care at her expense
She’ll pay the piper when he stops
She’s been around the world
Now she’s back on the top
Chorus
She cries herself to sleep at night
It’s not all it’s cracked up to be
She Can’t See, Yeah
She’s a littie lonely girl
Gets her kicks on top of the world
Solo
Picture Perfect Innocence
She’ll pay the piper when he stops
She’s been around the world
Now she’s back on the top
Chorus

NOBODY KNOWS* 4:19
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASGAP)
Nobody knows when there’s clouds in the skies
When there are tears in your eyes
Nobody knows when you’re hurting so bad
So what if they had?
Far away, where the hills turn to plains
I sit and I wonder where you are
I dream at night of the memories that we share
I feel your touch, I see your stare
Chorus:
Nobody knows when you’re down and out
Nobody cares what it’s all about
When it comes to you, babe
You know I’ll always be there It just seems,
Nobody knows when you’re down and out
Silent words, a whispered song
Will you still love me when I’m gone?
Now, nobody knows what really matters
Only fools who don’t belong
Chorus
… In my dreams, it never seems that Nobody knows
Solo
Chorus

ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR** 5:59
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze, Ron Taylor) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASGAP)
I’m not the kind of man
Who lets a woman tell me
Just what I can and cannot do.
She came prepared for battle
And all I had to say was
“I’d like to spend some time with you.”
Bridge:
Comin’ on shy but I don’t know why
Sure knows what to do
Bitch gonna stab you in the back
While she makes love to you
Chorus:
All’s Fair in Love and War
So what are we fighting for
All’s Fair in Love and War
No one to blame but yourself
There’s no more lies left to tell
You know I’ve heard that song before
Now you’re too scared to face me
Afraid of what you may see
How all is fair in love and war.
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
And when the battle’s over You’ll find another love I’ll be another casualty.
Bridge
Chorus
(Repeat)

WAITING IN THE DARK* 4:28
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASCAP)
Somewhere in my mind
Is the fear of growing old
Deep inside my heart
The warmth has turned to cold
My tired eyes, Slipping away
Tired life
Chorus:
Waiting in the Dark
To take his shot at me
Father Time’s a cruel man
Will I resurrect
Or will I even know
Sorrow is the master plan
Lie in bed at night
Will there be another day
Body aches in pain
Things they don’t seem quite the same
Nobody cares,
No one to share
Tired life
Solo
Chorus
Repeat

DREAM OF A LIFETIME* 5:17
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASGAP)
An eye for an eye, a heart for a heart
That’s the way that we play
Up in the clouds, where angels fly
You take my breath away.
Bridge 1:
Your love is my heaven
Now I’m going that way, hey, hey
And when I get there
You know I’m gonna stay, stay, stay
Chorus:
You’re the Dream Of A Lifetime
Whoa, Yeah
You’re the Dream Of A Lifetime
Yes, you are
Caught up in the roles that we play
It’s a foolish game
There’s nothing we can’t do or be
If we want it the same
Bridge 2:
I’ve had all my chances
To lock you away, hey, hey
Now when I find ya,
You know I’m gonna stay, stay, stay
Chorus
You know I’m dreaming of you
Solo
Bridge 2
Chorus
(Repeat)

THE WORLD STOPPED TURNING** 5:10
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze, Ron Taylor) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASCAP)
I watched you bathing in the moonlight
I heard you crying in the wind
Oh, every day is just another symphony
Of angels singing praises in your name
Look up, can’t you hear them calling
It wasn’t very long ago
That you and I believed in the same things
And now it seems, you’ve put our love behind you
And turned away before you understood
You can run, but you can’t hide
Chorus:
Can’t you see I’m falling down
Thanks to things I never knew
Don’t you know I’m tryin’ hard
To take this love from you
Oh, the skies are falling
And the seas are drying
Oh, oh, can it be?
The world stopped turning on me
Well, I see you still but that’s just fantasy
I hear you call to someone else
Oh, gazing at a distant cold reflection
And crystal lakes of tears I cried for you
Trying to keep this hope alive
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
(Repeat)

HARD LUCK* 4:50
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze, Ron Taylor, Jon Ster, Rob Stratton) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASGAP)
The hammer falls under the neon skies
The city lights reflecting in my eyes
Roll the dice, a turn of the wheel
It’s my turn to call
If it weren’t for hard luck
I’d have no luck at all
Chorus:
Hard luck’s got a hold on me
I bet against the odds
Hard luck’s comin’ down on me
It’s in the fall of the cards
Hard luck
The night’s my savior, she keeps me in the dark
A bad shot, it seems I’ve missed the mark
Like salt in my wounds
It burns me up inside
Nowhere to run to now
Nowhere to hide
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
(Repeat)

GHOST OF WINTER** 6:20
(Music: Stevie Blaze, Lyrics: Stevie Blaze) Sunny Tunes/Laser Blaze Music (ASGAP)
As I lie awake
All the memories of my life
Seem to come and fade
Wakes me in the dead of night
Am I slipping away?
Is my memory leaving me?
When it’s cold and dark,
Ghost of winter comes to me
Look at me
I’m eternal thought
It’s a shame but we must part
It’s just a dream
It’s just a dream
Dreams that seem so real
Granny tells me it’s o.k.
Won’t you cry to sleep
You’ll wake up to a brand new day
Tears to wake the dead
Tell them it’s not all in vain
Since the dawn of man
Think how many felt the rain
It’s far from what you know
But now I have to go
It’s just a dream
It’s just a dream
In the world, darkness follows me
Hiding out, in places I can’t see
I’ll tell you one thing I’ll never change my ways
Fly high
Solo
I can’t distinguish reality from dreams
Ghost of winter, won’t you hear my silent scream?
Ghost of winter, won’t you hear my silent scream?
Ghost of winter, return me to my dream
Repeat
You’ve showed me one thing
I’ve never, ever seen
So take me back there
I’ve got to have my dream
Oh, Ghost of winter
Hear my silent scream
Fly high

MY NUMBER331
(Phillip Lewis-Gerry Laffy) Agelong Music Publishing Inc./Aviation Music Limited
(Hey you, over here)
(Lemme give you my number, Shh)
Ok!
You can offer resistance
You can even steal my car
Why, you can give me some distance
I bet you couldn’t get far
And I could show you to my mother
You’re just my mama’s kind (Mama’s kind)
Mama this girl’s my lover
She’s really one of a kind a kind (A kind)
Well, you could sit here
Make me happy never sad
I wouldn’t mind if you don’t mind feelin’ bad
Too bad
Why, you could play my trusty organ
Or we could make it on the floor (On the floor)
Some bitches say I ignore them
That doesn’t matter for sure (For sure)
And I won’t write you foolish love songs
But you can bring me to your bed (To your bed)
Saw the good comes outta two wrongs
Hey girl I mean what I say I said (I said)
My eyes are tired
My back is stiff from what you done
It doesn’t matter to me
I’m havin’ lots of fun
[Solo]
You offered me no resistance
You couldn’t even steal my car (My car)
And what about that distance
I said you wouldn’t get far
Now I won’t show you to my mother
You’re not my mama’s kind (Mama’s kind)
Mama this girl’s my lover
She loves to 69 all night (Woo!)
Why, you could sit here
Make me happy never sad
I wouldn’t mind if you don’t mind feelin’ bad
