Headline 03:59
Headline - K.Lush/M.Roberts I was tired of seeing lovers In the papers the big headlines Hearts were kind, but endings cold I’ve had my share, of feeling alone You make me feel so wonderful You make me feel so whole Your love has been the only thing That keeps me wanting more Pre - Chorus Don’t know if I’m up or down Can’t keep my feet on the ground Chorus You’re so high, nothin’ brings you down You’re dirty but you clean up nice Your no star but in my mind you’re the big headline Some people want it all in lights Think only money can satisfy All I ever wanted was you To walk though that door & know it’s for good You make me feel so wonderful You make me feel so whole Your love has been the only thing That keeps me wanting more Pre - Chorus Don’t know if I’m up or down Can’t keep my feet on the ground Chorus You’re so high, nothin’ brings you down You’re dirty but you clean up nice Your no star but in my mind you’re the big headline Bridge: Looking back I was a scene playing over - & over Falling through the same cracks like I was broken I had to step off the map When there’s just so much doubt, staring back All that time I thought I was wrong But there’s so much love since you came along Chorus You’re so high, nothin’ brings you down You’re dirty but you clean up nice Your no star but in my mind you’re the big headline

If You Don’t Like It (Kate Lush & Matt Roberts) I can’t get it right When I’m always wrong I can’t even fight Cause you’re way too strong There’s nothing like Your battle line Don’t test your metal on me All the time Damned if I do Damned if I don’t So Now I will Even if you won’t I’ve grown backbone I’ve got spirit I need positive intervention I’m not gonna give in Chorus My heart it used to be free You been pulling me down you don’t care for me My resolution for love Gonna shake it up Now I’ve cooked up a stew And got the goods on you Some sweet advice From some friends of mine Cause I can’t go on Cause it ain’t going on So you gonna have to choose What cha gonna do? ☺ Chorus My heart it used to be free You been pulling me down you don’t care for me My resolution for love Gonna shake it up Chant x 2 If You Don’t Like It You don’t have to stay If you don’t like it Just get on your way Chorus My heart it used to be free You been pulling me down you don’t care for me My resolution for love Gonna shake it up My heart, it used to be free, My love, don’t care for me , my resolution for love (If you Don’t like it) - If You Don’t Like It - You don’t have to stay (If you Don’t like it) If you don’t like it - Just get on your way Rpt

Jackson 03:41
Jackson By: Kate Lush Bar tender looks sideways at me I don’t care what could be the worst thing? Down by the river, beats beating, Tanqueray numb swanning like a sinner 180 degrees I’m spinning Sky on the river, world at my fingers Money in his pocked, sweet nothings Living on lovin’ (that something) Chorus: And Oh! I’m the only one that he sees, yeah Time stand still while the world sleeps, yeah It might be nothing or the start of something I can’t get enough, Of Jackson Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho 2 am sweet Summer sweat I don’t know when I ever felt So good, deeper than the river Dive so deep, floating like a feather Waving his keys in the air Soaked to our skin but we don’t care Change down the track, the cars packed Sun ain’t ready, and I’m so ready to roll Chorus: And Oh! I’m the only one that he sees, yeah Time stand still while the world sleeps, yeah It might be nothing or the start of something I can’t get enough, Of Jackson Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho Bridge: 20 to life now my time has come I Rise to the top, and I feel the sun The ones who get what they want …. Don’t give up Chorus: x 2 And Oh! I’m the only one that he sees, yeah Time stand still while the world sleeps, yeah It might be nothing or the start of something I can’t get enough, Of Jackson Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho

Goodbye To The Rain Written By: Kate Lush I unpacked my bag, a little unsure Even though it was coming doesn’t help at all Too little too late, for the tears to fall But it rains so hard now I close the door Pre-Chorus We never had a song of our own Never told me I was the one Never shared a dream to hang our hopes So Maybe you won’t miss me, when I’m gone Chorus So complicated, until it’s not Hurts so bad, & takes so much I’ve disappointed, held all the blame Stood in the shadow & walked away Saying Goodbuy Goodbuy, Goodbuy to the rain I lie awake, my fears come out like stars I’d think about leaving, And I’d fall apart Out of the dark, I hope I find a way And help these clouds to roll away Pre-Chorus We never had a song of our own Never told me I was the one Never shared a dream to hang our hopes So Maybe you won’t miss me, when I’m gone Chorus So complicated, until it’s not Hurts so bad, & takes so much I’ve disappointed, held all the blame Stood in the shadow & walked away Saying Goodbuy Goodbuy, Goodbuy to the rain SOLO Pre Ch to Chorus…..

Rock That Won’t Roll Written by: Kate Lush / Matt Roberts You rocked all night, always the rebel Out on the road, foot on the pedal The kind of leaver, I loved so well Always ending up on the highway I’ve seen the worst, of all the fighters I think it’s time, I lived a good life This hard ways, been the only way Gotta lose it all to make a change I need a place for my heart One that won’t break apart Chorus: I want a rock, that wont roll Arms that won’t let me fall Don’t need diamonds or a ring of gold I want a rock that ain’t gonna roll You’d wear those shades, like a rock star Everyth you’d say, was like a billboard I think it’s crazy but we made it back Maybe love can change the man And as you leave me for tonight I need to know, that the morning light’s Gonna bring you home, and I won’t wake alone Then you’ll see me make you my life I need a place for my heart One that won’t break apart Chorus: I want a rock, that wont roll Arms that won’t let me fall Don’t need diamonds or a ring of gold I want a rock that ain’t gonna roll Bridge I wanna make this our home, I wanna stay by your side I wanna hear you say the same, I wanna give you - a chance to change I need a place for my heart One that won’t break apart I’ve got the strength to make it Tell me you’ve got the heart 2 x Chorus: I want a rock, that wont roll Arms that won’t let me fall Don’t need diamonds or a ring of gold I want a rock that ain’t gonna roll

Weakness 03:58
Weakness Written by: Kate Lush / Matt Roberts There’s bridges I’ve had to burn I’ve dared to shut your mouth I’ve dared to cut & run Can you see you just can’t tie me down But maybe you can I’ve always had a weakness For the guitar in your hands You can’t hold the wild & free I wanna be in heavens hurricane Never played a song too long Never had anyone to play along But maybe you can I’ve always had a weakness For the guitar in your hands Chorus: Maybe you’ll want to see me And maybe I’d let you in But I will not be broken Don’t try to win Don’t be weak What I need Is a man who plays like that SOLO Chorus: Maybe you’ll want to see me And maybe I’d let you in But I will not be broken Don’t try to win Don’t be weak What I need Is a man who plays like that Rather jump off the deep end Than play a safe & shallow part Like War & Peace in the movies Can’t save the up’s & downs in my life But maybe you can I’ve always had a weakness I’ve always had a weakness I’ve always had a weakness For the man with the guitar
