Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy

(Billy Sheehan, Paul Gilbert, Andre Pessis, Pat Torpey, Eric Martin)

If you're a red hot fire cracker
I will light your fuse
If you cry like a little girl
I'll dry your baby blues
When you need a man of action
I'm a ready to make my move
Like a shotgun shot, Johnny on the spot
There's nothing I can't do

Everything you're looking for
You can find in me
I'll be anything you want
Anyone you need
I'll be your daddy, your brother, your lover and
Your little boy

When your body needs salvation
I'll be your tender touch
I'll take all the love you give me
And give you twice as much
When we get undercover
And do the horizontal mile
I'm in the mood to answer to your call of the wind

Everything you're looking for
You can find in me
I'll be anything you want
Anyone you need
Everything you're looking for
Anything that you want and more
I'll be your daddy, your brother, your lover and
Your little boy

Take Cover

(Paul Gilbert, Eric Martin, Andre Pessis)

Words in my mouth
Someone told me to say
They go unspoken
My mind gets in the way
I hold my tongue
Save my, save my soul
True to myself
And stay gold

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
It dosen't have to be this hard
For an ordinary man

I wanna take cover, take cover
From you, wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you

Sold all my dreams
Watched them all disappear
I've spilled my blood
No one seems to care

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
How low do I have to go to make you understand

Stay Together

(Paul Gilbert)

It's shame
That our paths should have crossed so young
Who's to blame
For the tears and the damage done

All I know
Is I can't forget the time we had
And I'm sorry if it turned out bad

Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though my heart is screaming
Still believing
We could fall in love

Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though we won't find better
We can't stay together

Tell me why
There were secrets you never told oh, no
It's a crime
The cliche of a love gone old

All I know
Is I've given all I can to you
And there's nothing more that I can do

Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though my heart is screaming
Still believing
We could fall in love

Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though we won't find better
We can't stay together

It's all right
Happiness only comes to few
But in time you may find it in someone new

Solo

Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though my heart is screaming
Still believing
We could fall in love

Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though we won't find better
We can't stay together

Stay together
Stay together
Ow!

Wild World

(Cat Stevens)

Now that I lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm greiving

But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of things turn bad out there

Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Cause I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl

But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

Baby I love you,
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

Green Tinted Sixties Mind

(Paul Gilbert)

She just woke up, but she's still tired
Is that the telephone ringing?
The curtains can't hold back the light
That's reaching into her dreams
Down in her heart
If it had fingers, it'd be tearing it apart

You be lookin' groovy
In a sixties movie
Maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
Try your very best to hide
A green-tinted sixties mind

She keeps some memories locked away
But they are always escaping
Neglect won't make them fade away
They're reaching into her dreams
Down in her heart
Don't need fingers to be tearing it apart

Gotta face the day
There is no other way
To clear the fog inside your mind
Fill it up with dreams
But all that she can seem to find
A green-tintid sixties mind

Hangin' out with Janis
Movin' to Atlantis
Could've made it if you tried
What's the point of force
It's easy as a horse to ride
A green-tinted sixties mind

You be looking groovy
In a sixties movie
Maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
Try your very best to hide
A green-tinted sixties mind
-U can't hide-

Unnatural

(Paul Gilbert)

Unnatural
Contractual
Piece of my heart
I signed away
For Magic beans
Grow into dreams
They drift away

Unnaturally
This comes to mind
Can't seem to find
Someone to be
It's laughable
Halfway or full
I give myself away

Areatha knows
Which way to go
Opens her heart
Blows me away
Led by a king
Told her to sing
So naturally
Her lucky day

Unnaturally
This comes to me
Can't seem to find
Someone to be
It's laughable
Halfway or full
I give myself away

Dumb luck
Gave her everything
She has
Dumb luck
Breeds jealousy
I'm stuck
In a body
With some hands convinced
I couldn't be
Couldn't be

Unnatural
Unnatural They drift away
Unnatural Blows me away
Unnatural

Goin'where The Wind Blows

(Eric Martin, Andre Pessis)

Someone said life is for the taking
Here I am with my hand out waiting for a ride
I've been living on my great expectations
What good is it when I'm stranded here
And the world just passes by

Where are the sings to help me get out of this place
If I should stumble on my moment in time, how will I know
If the story's written on my face, dose it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows

Here I sit halfway to somewhere
Thinking about what's in front of me and what I left behind
On my own, supposed to be so easy
Is this what I've been after
Or have I lost my mind

Maybe this is my big chance coming to take me away

If I should stumble on my moment in time, how will I know
If the story's written on my face, dose it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows

Here I am walking naked through the world
Taking up space, society's child
Make room for me, make room for me, make room for me

Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool

Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows

Not One Night

(Mark Spiro)

I used to dream of only you
Now I don't do that
I used to miss talkin' to you
Ah, now I don't do that

Since you've been gone
I learned to stop
Tryin' to hold on
Because there's...

Chorus
Not one night
One single day
That I wouldn't give to you
So with all my might
In every way
I'll try to forget you too

I thought you could tell me anything
Yea, you used to do that
You let me inside of everything
Yea, you used to do that
Never to change at least I thought
It feels so strange because there's...

Chorus
Not one night
One single day
That I wouldn't give to you
So with all my might
In every way
I'll try to forget you too

Loneliness may come
Knockin' at my door
But where I'm comin' from
That don't phase me anymore
Time has shed a little light
On where I'm supposed to be
There ain't no use in thinking
You'll come running back to me

Since you've been gone
I learned to stop
Tryin' to hold on because there's ...

Chorus
Not one night
One single day
That I wouldn't give to you
So with all my might
In every way
I'll try to forget you too

Rock & Roll Over

(Eric Martin)

When the honeymoon's over
Where do we go from here
What do we do when we get there
Who's at the other end

B-section:
Yeah one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches on
After the shock

Chorus:
We rock & roll over, over & then
Show your true colors
Put on a new face
Love is like a faucet
Turnin' off and on
Rock & roll over
Will the real you stand up

Same time next year
Life is full of chances
It'S the lady or the tiger
There's never any answers

B-section:
Ooh one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches on
After the shock

Chorus:

Solo

Bridge:

Love and hate is a fine, fine line
But if you're the cure, I'll make the time

B-section:

Promise Her The Moon

(Eric Martin, Andre Pessis)

You don't know what you've got
'Till the love is almost gone
This time...she's giving up
Still in a state of shock
I should have seen it coming on
It's too late for waking up

Her mind's made up
The dream is over
But my heart just can't let go

She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon

I was too blind to nitice her
Wrapped up in myself
Working hard overtime, night and day
I thought we were so secure
Can't imagine someone else

Her mind's made up
The dream is over
But my heart just can't let go

She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon

And all the times that she stood by me
I never said " I love you"
But I kept it deep down in my soul
And all the while I've been a fool
She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon

Seven Impossible Days

(Paul Gilbert)

Sunday morning, out of my mind
Feel like it's going to waste
25 years, 7 impossible days
Monday morning, I'll never find
Someone with strength to betray
25 years, 7 impossible days

People are walking, leaving behind
Someone who wants them to stay
Everyone's talking out of their minds
See that their gone
Afraid that coming to stay

Friday morning, got through the grind
Find me a woman who lays
My head to bed in 7 impossible days
People are walking, leaving behind
Someone who wants them to stay
Everyone's talking out of their minds
See that their gone
Afraid that coming to stay
Sunday morning, out of my mind
Feel like it's going to waste
25 years, 7 impossible days
7 impossible days
7 impossible days
7 impossible days

Nothing But Love (live Version)

(Paul Gilbert)

Guess what baby
The things we said
Came true today cause we listened to our hearts
No one but you
Will ever do
Our search is through but our journey's just beginning
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To mend the place inside your heart that needed healing
Nothing but love can live forever
Nothing but love will start
To make your head spin round & round
You know you're feeling love
Nothing but love, Nothing but love
Can't read your mind, Lord knows I've tried
But in your eyes, I see everything I need to know
Nothing to do, but follow through
My aim is true, I could never ask for any more

And if you walk way
You know that I will follow
To steal back your broken heart
At least until tomorrow
Because forever comes in days
One by one I'll stay beside you
I can't hide that you're the one

Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To mend the place inside your heart that needed healing
Nothing but love can live forever
Nothing but love will start
To make your head spin round & round
You know you're feeling
Nothing but love can hold our world together
Nothing but love can start
To let us hear the sounds above
That have been screaming love
Nothing but love, Nothing but love
Love, Nothing but love, Nothing but love
Oooh, Hooo, Oooh, Oooh

Just Take My Heart

(Eric Martin, Andre Pessis)

It's late at night and neither one of us is sleeping
I can't imagine living my life after you're gone
Wondering why so many questions have no answers
I keep on searching for the reason why we went wrong

Where is our yesterday
You and I could use it right now
But if this is goodbye

Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go

Here we are about to take the final step now
I just can't fool myself, I know there's no turning back
Face to face it's been an endless conversation
But when the love is gone you're left with nothing but talk

I'd give my everything
If only I could turn you around
But if this is goodbye

Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go

Colorado Bulldog

(Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan, Pat Torpey, Eric Martin, Tony Fanucchi)

Ace high in golden, I was tall & on the rocks
Add a little touch of attitude
Whose that Madam X
Comin' in at 3 o'clock?
Why don't you send her over one, too

Next thing I remember
I was crawling 'round the room
She was dancing on the tables
I was bloodshot, barkin' at the moon

Colorado Bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado Bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck and Run like Hell

Swingin' from the rafters
Losing all control
Playing a game of little cat and mouse
I popped the question
I've been lonely much too long
Last call, Drinks are on the house

Next thing I remember
Through the pandemonium
Feeling like a nightmare
That bites, right into my skin

Colorado Bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado Bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck and run like hell

My sweet Lolita, A preying Maneater
Left me in the #6 Motel
How was I to know
She'd strip me to the bone
And steal away my heart as well

Next thing I remember
Through the pandemonium
Feeling like a nightmare
That bites, right into my skin

Colorado Bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado Bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck and run like hell
Colorado Bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado Bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck and run like hell
Bottoms up, down the hatch
It's time to start all over again

To Be With You

(Eric Martin, David Grahame)

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Chorus

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

Addicted To That Rush

(Billy Sheehan, Paul Gilbert, Pat Torpey)

When I was a young boy
My momma said to me
Once a woman gets your soul
You'll never shake her free
These are words of wisdom
It turns out she was right
Gotta find a lover-
'Cause I need a fix tonight

Once I thought her lovin'
Was a habit I could break
But when I go without it
My body starts to ache

Whaooooooo (etc...) Ooooo
Watch it touch me deep inside
Whaooooooo
Somethin' snaps inside my mind
When I feel it comin' ain't no sense
In runnin'
I'm addicted to that rush
Every time we touch
Never get enough
'Cause I'm addicted to that rush-yeow!

Look around I stop and stare
Gotta get a taste
Pretty women everywhere
We ain't got time to waste
Lookin' for a little thang
To fit into my plans
On the town I'll hunt you down
I'm walkin' like a man

I Love You Japan

(Song For Makita & Japanese Fans)
(Paul Gilbert)

I know I've seen your face before
It wasn't just a dream
I know you think your hearts secure
But I can make it scream

Oh oh do it again
Oh oh we're comin' in
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!

I'm talking from experience
I've been all 'round the world
I wouldn't even trade you for
The California girls

Oh oh do it again
Oh oh we're comin' in
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!

Domo arigato, chotto matte kudasai
There's sushi on my table
And wasabi in my eye
You could look forever
But you won't find me until
You listen for the scream
Of the big Makita drill, year!

I know I've seen your face before
It wasn't just a dream
We always will come back for more
'Cause you can make us scream

Oh oh do it again
Oh oh we're comin' in
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!
