LYRICS | SOUTH RiVER NORTH LONDON GiRL
Rise like the sun
On your wings you bring joy to everyone
Lies on the wind
If it’s big, well, the flames will reach the sky
Did I ever tell you, hunny
How much I love your deconstructed qualities?
Where is my head? Where is my self? Where is my body?
Ride on the waves
Take a swim, then go back to bed again
Lie on the beach
Where it is legal to procrastinate
Did I ever tell you, hunny
How much I love your deconstructed qualities?
Where is my head? where is my self? where is my buddy?
Did I ever tell you, hunny
How much I do and how much I will?
Did I ever tell you, hunny
How much I love and how much I care?
Did I ever tell you, hunny
How much I love your deconstructed qualities?
Did I ever tell you, hunny
How much I would like to procrastinate with you forever?

LYRICS | LiFE iS SPENDiNG TiME WiTH YOU
Time, time, pieces of my mind
Well, I’ve been looking for love
Time, time, pieces of my mind
Well, I’ve been looking for love
And then I found you,
And ever since I’m glad to wake up in your arms
And ever since I’m happy just to be alive
Time, time, pieces of my mind
Well, I’ve been looking for love
Time, time, pieces of my mind
Well, I’ve been looking for love
And then I found you,
And ever since I’m glad to wake up in your arms
And ever since I’m happy just to be alive
And now it’s time to say goodnight
As I fall asleep by your side
And with a smile
I then realise
Life is spending time with you
Time, time, pieces of my mind
Well, I’ve been looking for love
Time, time, pieces of my mind
Well, I’ve been looking for love
And then I found you,
And ever since I’m glad to wake up in your arms
And ever since I’m happy just to be around
And now it’s time to say goodnight
As I fall asleep by your side
And with a smile
I then realise
Life is time spent with you
Yes, it’s time to say goodnight
As I fall asleep by your side
And with a smile
I then realise
Life is spending time with you
Life is spending time with you

LYRICS | POSSiBLE SiGNS OF HAPPiNESS (2)
My life - not in pain, I feel not ashamed
To admit, I’m having such a good time
To admit, life is on the right line
My life - not in strain, I feel not ashamed
To admit, I’m having such a good laugh
To admit, there’s too much to risk
And I know
I shouldn’t fear
'Cause having you, makes me
The luckiest man in the world
Yes I know
I shouldn’t fear
By having you, I’m definitely
The luckiest man in the world
My life - not in vain, I feel not ashamed
To admit, it might be like a good wine
To admit, life can be good fun
My life - no complaints, I feel not ashamed
To admit, I’m having such a good time
To admit, there’s too much to risk
And I know
I shouldn’t fear
'Cause having you, makes me
The luckiest man in the world
Yes I know
I shouldn’t fear
By having you, I’m definitely
The luckiest man in the world

LYRICS | FEEL LiKE A RiVER
With the time I’d like to see
Thinking maybe there is something wrong with me
With the time I’d like to see
Thinking maybe there is something wrong with me
Like the roaring forties are fixing the game
And the kid-in dream
Stranded in a murky night
And the waves are black
The waves are high
And the horizon’s closed
Cannot see outside
And the vision lies
Thousand miles
And I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah-oh
With the time I’d like to see
Thinking maybe there is something wrong with me
With the time I’d like to see
Thinking maybe there is something wrong with me
Like the roaring forties are filling the breach
And it’s pretty strange
I can see the stars
And though they’re small
They’re in our sight
But to see a place
On our planet earth
I need to cross
Thousand miles
And I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah-oh
With the time I’d like to see
Thinking maybe there is something wrong
With me
All well, wide awake
Light up the sea-side
It's gonna storm and you're in
All well, wide awake
Light up the sea-side, standing on the bridge I...
It's gonna turn a new wind
All well, wide awake
Light up the sea-side
It's gonna storm and you win
All well, wide awake
Light up the sea-side, standing on the bridge, I,
Warning from the inside, rolling like (I'm in) the woom...
And I feel like a river
I feel like a river
I feel like a river
I feel like a river
And I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah
I feel like a river – ah-ah-oh
With the time I’d like to see
Thinking maybe there is something wrong with me
With the time I’d like to see
Thinking maybe there is something wrong

LYRICS | FiVE DAYS (DON'T WORRY)
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
(Sunday 20/2)
Topsey-turvey
Last view Leighnx-eyed Stanely
Coming down at one, are you feeling OK?
Hurley-burley
Just me and Big Benny
Welcome to the club, so, how was your day?
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
(Monday 21/2)
Holding steady
Crossing bare-feet Abbey
Leicester is sold out, we’re heading to paint
Looks amazing
Thames reflects the walking
A present as a sign, guitars out to play
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
(Tuesday 22/2)
Miss the ferry
St James’s Park is racy
Climbing up the bridge, Batter Station in frame
Busking? Maybe
Ball games over twenty
Glowing with the talk, go to sleep very late
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
(Wednesday 23/2)
Playing early
For fun not for money
Bringing back some food, Ben wish he could stay
All is ready
We say goodbye to Benny
Pasta, friends around, we get closer that day
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
Don’t worry - I’ll be here by your side
(Thursday 24/2)
Starting badly
Lanlord wants more money
Wall is going home, we have the house to ourselves
You're back early
Dinner, then to Finchley
See the swans and Hadge, it’s the happiest day…
Don’t worry - I’ll sleep here by your side
Don’t worry - I’ll sleep here by your side

LYRICS | EVERY TiME YOU'RE COMiNG MY WAY
And don’t you think it is the time we dance ‘till the lights are over?
And don’t you think it is the time we dance ‘till it knocks us over?
And don’t you think it would be nice to run
Naked in the sand
Put everything away
No mess and order
And don’t you think it would be nice to dance ‘till the lights are over?
And don’t you think it would be nice to dance ‘till it knocks us over?
And don’t you think it could be fun to run
Naked in the sand,
Put everything away
No mess and order
No mess and order
Every time you're coming my way
I'm feeling so g-r-e-a-t
Every time you're coming my way
I'm feeling so great
I'm feeling so great
Every time you're coming my way
I'm feeling so great
I'm feeling so great

LYRICS | WOULD YOU LiKE TO GiVE iT A TRY?
Would you like to give it a try?
Or, would you like to see my life pass you by?
Would you like to give it a try?
Oh, would you like to know the reason why?
Because I think of you
Every minute in the day
And I think of you
And I cannot let that away
And it’s Pretty Claire
It turns pretty everywhere
So now the sun is out
That is the time
So, kiss me now
Would you like to give it a try?
Or, would you like to see my shadow wonder by?
Would you like to give it a try?
Oh, would you like to know the reason why?
Because I think of you
Every minute in the day
And I think of you
And I cannot let that away
And it’s Pretty Claire
It turns pretty everywhere
So now the sun is out
That is the sign
So, kiss me now
Would you like to give it a try?
Caught in a landslide
Where I don’t want to lose you as a friend
But at the same time
I want to mean so much more
And for the first time in my life
I’m ready to combine and win music and love
And would you like to know the reason why?
Because I think of you
Every minute in the day
And I think of you
And I cannot let that away
And it’s Pretty Claire
It turns pretty everywhere
So now the truth is out
There is no time
So kiss me now
Would you like to give it a try?

LYRICS | ROAD STAR
I am the road star
Climbing the mountains with my hands
I am the road star
Climbing the mountains
If I can bring love - I’ll reach all
And with my hands
My bare own hands
I try again and fail again
I rise again
Try to understand
I ask myself
How high can I get?
How high can I get?
I am the road star
Driving the mountains to the top
I am the road star
Driving the mountains
Never stop ‘till I reach all
And with my hands
My bare own hands
I try again and fail again
I rise again
Try to understand
I ask myself
How far can I go?
How far can I go?
And with my hands
My bare own hands
I try again and fail again
I rise again
Try to understand
I ask myself
How high can I get?
How high can I get?
Lord, it’s like a windy ride
You do your best
You face the rest
The wind decides
And with my hands
My bare own hands
I try again and fail again
I rise again
Try to understand
I ask myself
How far can I go?
How far can I go?
And with my hands
My bare own hands
I try again and fail again
I rise again
Try to understand
I ask myself
How high can I get?
How high can I get?

LYRICS | POSSiBLE SiGNS OF HAPPiNESS (1)
My life - not in pain, I feel not ashamed
To admit, I’m having such a good time
To admit, life is on the right line
My life - not in strain, I feel not ashamed
To admit, I’m having such a good laugh
To admit, life can be good fun
My life - not in vain, I feel not ashamed
To admit, I’m having such a good round
To admit, or shell I declare
And by the way
Have you noticed how positive I became?
Well, it may look disgusting to you
And I know that that’s what you think
Straight away
But what can I do?
It’s time that I feel really good inside
My life - not in pain, I feel not ashamed
To admit, I’m having such a good time
To admit, life can be good fun
My life - no complaints, I feel not ashamed
To admit, it might be like a good wine
To admit, I’m having such a good time
My life - not in vain
And the way things are, my love
And the way things are, you are a star, my love
Sexual ostracism - oh no
Living in a prison - no more
Making the decisions and the way things are, my love
Sexual oblivion - oh no
Suffering for no reason - no more
Making the decisions
And the way things are, you are a star, my love
My life - not in pain, I feel not ashamed
To admit, I’m having such a good time
To admit, life can be good fun

LYRICS | FRANNY & ZOOEY ON VALENTiNE'S DAY
You wear black, I wear purple
If we keep going like that, we’ll die from sexual frustration
So, don’t be too serious, when I’m being silly
If you show me yours, I’ll show you my..... Fat Lady

LYRICS | GiRLFRiEND REQUiRES MARKET RESEARCH
Sometimes it’s the way they laugh
Sometimes they don’t shut their mouth
Sometimes it’s the sound of their voice
And who they hate that I happen to love
Sometimes it’s their awful taste
Sometimes my mouth just don’t taste the same
Sometimes they just have to be right
When it’s amazing how wrong they are
And I feel like a wheel
Nothing to conceal
(It's) Dense as a stone
No morning calls
Girlfriend requires market research
Girlfriend requires market pre-search ah-ah
And girlfriend requires a market research ah-ah
Sometimes it’s the way they dress
Sometimes they just show their ugly face
Sometimes it’d their favorite food
Sometimes it’s just how bad they cook
Sometimes it’s the way they drive
Sometimes they just drive me mad
Sometimes everything looks OK
Then looking down the toes just drive me away
And I feel like a wheel
Nothing to conceal
(It's) Dense as a stone
No morning calls
Girlfriend requires market research
Girlfriend requires market pre-search ah-ah
Girlfriend requires market research ah-ah
And I feel like a wheel
Nothing to conceal
(It's) Dense as a stone
No morning calls
Girlfriend requires market research
Girlfriend requires market pre-search ah-ah
Girlfriend requires market research
