Somebody Said V1 My ears feel are burning , know my friends are talkin’ about me I really like this girl , so why won’t they let me be ? I tell them nothing’s happened , it’s early days we’re just good friends They say they don’t believe me, tell me I don’t have to pretend Chorus Somebody said, I come alive when she’s around Somebody said, I act a little different when she’s around Somebody said, she’s got inside your head Somebody said, she’s really into you So it must be true V2 When she gave me her number, the moment was purest gold Hope she don’t hear what they’re saying, or else she’ll drop me cold Gotta stop oversharing, give myself a fighting chance They don’t need to know anything but I need to catch some romance Chorus Somebody said , I come alive , when she’s around Somebody said , I act a little different when she’s around Somebody said she’s got inside your head Somebody said she’s really into you So it must be true Chorus Somebody said , I come alive , when she’s around Somebody said , I act a little different when she’s around Somebody said , she’s got inside your head Somebody said , she’s really into you So it must be true Somebody said, somebody said , Somebody said , somebody said Copyright : Lee Desty PRS UK 2022

Dark Flowers V1 Be gentle with me , I’m not been feeling so great today My heads in a mess , can’t always find tidy words to say Staring at magnolia walls , floor boards creak to my insecurity Stack of mail and a ghosting of calls , I need a shot of your immaturity I’d like that right now… Chorus So come around , make some sound remember to bring the sun to break the clouds Let’s chill a while and do it in style Bring some wine, that Italian’s fine Tell me silly stories you collect and I suspect are not be true , but whatever you do don’t bring me dark flowers don’t bring me dark flowers V2 It would feel so good , to unfriend the complicated Avoid those who believe , simple pleasures are over-rated Pre-chorus I need time to soothe my soul, don’t need to add to my anxiety Tell me things will be ok , take a pass on your sobriety Just blame me in the morning Chorus So come around , make some sound remember to bring the sun to break the clouds Let’s chill a while and do it in style Bring some wine, that Italian’s fine Tell me silly stories you collect and I suspect are not be true , but whatever you do don’t bring me dark flowers don’t bring me dark flowers Chorus So come around , make some sound remember to bring some sun to break the clouds Let’s chill a while and do it in style Bring some wine, that Italian’s fine Tell me silly stories you collect and I suspect are not be true , but whatever you do Don’t bring me dark flowers Don’t bring me dark flowers (C) PRS UK Lee Desty 2022

Turning Circles 04:26
lyrics

Turning Circles V1 She’s the one he wants and needs - but she’s already taken Something deep , he can’t shut down , that has been awakened He lies awake at night thinking of her face , her funny ways Can’t breathe a word about it , inside is where it stays Just one text from her lifts his heart close to pure elation Every word and emoji fuels and fires his imagination Chorus Turning circles every day , what to do and what to say Turning circles every day , will she smile and look his way ? Turning circles , time again Turning circles , time again Turning circles V2 When she’s talking with her friends , he tries to act indifferent Just one glance from her tests his power of resistance she’s the fault line running through , his mind and fragile heart if the tremors build and break , it may tear him apart He wants to be more , so much more , a lover and a friend Feels a constant aching , longing for the moment when doesn’t have to pretend Chorus Turning circles every day , what to do and what to say Turning circles every day ,will she leave or will she stay Turning circles , time again Turning circles , time again Turning circles (C) 2022 PRS UK Lee Desty

I Know How This Ends V1 I wish you hadn’t told me , wish you hadn’t decided to confide You never thought where it would put me , assumed I was bound to take your side You say you and I go way back , we’ve been through thick and thin Well buddy you’re out on your own on this, don’t try to pull me in. Chorus I know how this ends,I’ve seen this show before I know how this ends, he cheats and breaks her heart I know how this ends ,the actors and their lines I know how this ends, it never ends well V2 Can’t believe you blew up our friendship , burning all the years of trust I won’t help you by lying to deceive her , and nothing says I must You claim it’s all under control , you say it will play itself out Just admit you can’t resist that game , you can’t go without Chorus I know how this ends , I’ve seen this show before I know how this ends , he cheats and breaks her heart I know how this ends , the actors and their lines I know how this ends , it never ends well That good hearted woman who stood by you, she deserves better than this You’ll now have time aplenty to realise, what you messed up and miss Chorus I know how this ends , I’ve seen this show before I know how this ends , he cheats and breaks her heart I know how this ends , the actors and their lines I know how this ends , it never ends well I know how this ends...

More Than She Loves Me 04:42

More Than She Loves Me V1 Sometimes I think there’s something missing In her words , in her kissing But she says don’t look for things that aren’t there She says I worry a little too much Some days she just don’t want to be touched She can’t give any more , she’s happy to be with me I still sense a distance, long silences can’t be right I still get a dull pain , in the middle of the night And I wish it wasn’t so Chorus It’s hard for me to know That I love her more than she loves me Can’t let this feeling go That I love her more than she loves me I’d like to see more reaction , feel a little more more affection Show me that she cares , show me she wants Something deeper and lasting V2 When I praise her it’s like she’s scared of replying Sometimes I think I’m only one who’s trying It gets to me , it’s hard to understand She says her heart can't be weighed , emotions are not an even trade We’re just different , we can’t love the same way My friends say I should back off , give her a bit more time Listen to what she wants to say, try not to draw the line I’ll give anything a try…. Chorus It’s hard for me to know That I love her more than she loves me Can’t let this feeling go That I love her more than she loves me I’d like to see more reaction , feel a little more more affection Show me that she cares , show me she wants Something deeper and lasting Chorus It’s hard for me to know That I love her more than she loves me Can’t let this feeling go That I love her more than she loves me It’s hard for me to know That I love her more than she loves me Can’t let this feeling go That I love her more than she loves me (C) 2022 PRS UK Lee Desty

What will tomorrow bring ? V1 I’ve drawn your picture, I scratched it on the wall, I’ve made you six feet tall It’s all from memory , think I caught your features well your smile lights the room We talk for hours, your voice so soft and reassuring , gestures loving and so kind I hear your laughter, sense your changing moods, think of all I left behind. Chorus: Oh what will tomorrow bring, will it bring me peace ? Oh what will tomorrow bring , will it bring my release ? V2 I think it’s Sunday, I'm counting every sunrise , there’s less distant noise How I wish for home, to feel the of wind and rain , smell the forest green. Time pulls so slowly, till darkness comes I summon up carefree days with you I know you won’t forget me, know you’re calling out my name, always staying true. Chorus Oh what will tomorrow bring, will it bring me peace ? Oh what will tomorrow bring ,will it bring my release ? Walk this dirty, dusty floor, fifteen paces by five Metal roor key turns , pray God I’m still alive I won’t lose my beliefs , my hope of being free As long as I can see the sky V3 Sometimes I sing to you, songs that warmed our hearts, on the long winter nights If I forget the words , I add it to my growing list , of imaginary crimes No one hears my cries or understands my pain, I feel I’m no longer whole They can break my body, try to sap my spirit - but they won’t have my soul Chorus: Oh what will tomorrow bring , will it bring me peace ? Oh what will tomorrow bring , will it bring my release ? (C) PRS UK 2022 Lee Desty

Flashmatic (Eugene’s Magic Beam) V1 Eugene’s remote was I’ve got to say, A work of a genius in its day He thought money worries were at an end  but he got kicked him in the rear end Thousand bucks didn’t seem much loot For the guy who gave us the instant mute. Chorus Eugene’s magic beam Eugene’s magic beam Eugene’s magic beam It drove Madison Avenue mad But made every couch potato so glad V2 Green and gold , a little space gun Aim at the tv , you could have such fun Sometimes the sun sent it out of control The channels would do an involuntary roll It was harmless to humans , or so they declared  Save for lazy bones slumped in the easy chair Chorus Eugene’s magic beam Eugene’s magic beam Eugene’s magic beam It drove Madison Avenue mad But made every couch potato so glad Flash-Matic, Seeing is believing,  Flash-Matic ,Seeing is believing,  Flashmatic Chorus Eugene’s magic beam Eugene’s magic beam Eugene’s magic beam It drove Madison Avenue mad But made every couch potato so glad (C) PRS UK 2022 Lee Desty

When The Rain Came 04:29
lyrics

When the Rain Came V1 They told us we must leave that day The deluge turned our land into sea We headed for the higher ground We had no idea where that might be Left behind that happy home that we built Crop fields in the garden of spice Walked waist deep with all we owned Wrapped in sheets, with one bag of rice Chorus : When the rain came, it was falling Drumming hard on our heads When the rain came, they came calling Said if you stay here, you’ll be dead So we carried our children through brown waters and fled Hoping to find shelter and sanctuary V2 My daughter said she needed to drink A mouthful was all we could spare Baby boy in his carrier fast asleep My wife’s silence told of weary despair My mother said she couldn’t take much more Didn’t think her heart would take the strain I said we must head for the lights up ahead Together as a family face the pain Chorus : When the rain came, it was falling Drumming hard on our heads When the rain came, they came calling Said if you stay here , you’ll be dead So we carried our children through brown waters and fled Hoping to find shelter and sanctuary V3 They took us into a school for the night Cold and hungry but lucky to survive Our village was completely submerged Thank God we made it out alive. Journeyed back after the waters receded Found our house filled with mud and snakes We know we’ve lost most of what we had To rebuild our lives we’ll do what it takes Chorus : When the rain came, it was falling Drumming hard on our heads When the rain came, they came calling Said if you stay here, you’ll be dead So we carried our children through brown waters and fled Hoping to find shelter and sanctuary (C) PRS UK 2022 Lee Desty

Last King Of America 05:08

Last King of America V1 Wednesday afternoon , on the Friends acute ward , the nurse is giving out the meds Some patients need more time and space , still asleep in their beds Met a man wearing a party paper crown , who’d once taught history at school Lovingly called “our resident royal”, troubled Michael was nobody's fool. When he lost his wife of twenty five years , darkness descended on his tragedy He took refuge in the world of George the Third, liked being called ‘ Your Majesty” Chorus Met the Last King of America , in a Cambridgeshire psych So much spirit , so much he knew, so much about him I liked Met the Last King of America, his throne was a plastic chair He ruled nobody and he was going nowhere He ruled nobody and he was going nowhere V 2 He talked of his beloved Queen Charlotte at Kew, of watching his children grow Great affairs of state and court’s intrigues , follies that come and go He asked : “Is it true that America is lost , must we fall beneath the blow ?” Some things are just to hard to bear, a monarch’s feelings he couldn't show After a while he drifted off to sleep, on the floor lay his tattered crown Was he hearing the band at Yorktown where “The World Turned Upside Down” ? Chorus Met the Last King of America, in a Cambridgeshire psych So much spirit, so much that he knew, so much about him I liked Met the Last King of America, his throne was a plastic chair He ruled nobody and he was going nowhere He ruled nobody and he was going nowhere (C) PRS UK 2022 Lee Desty

Witching Hour V1 Been looking at you all night, you tell me you're dangerous It's part of the quest to find a damsel in distress  We're the incantation caught up in the moment Constant as the waves on the lunar seas Lets make it a long night , lets make it a slow night Lets make it a long night , lets make it a slow night  Chorus It's after the witching  hour, I’m out of spells apart from you I can see your charms , guilt told me he does't exist His ugly friends aren't so sure , romance tells me he's an illusion But they all wanna play the intimate game V2 Been looking at you all night, we know its been 20 years Love with civil unrest , can take a minute to digest Soul less dehydration leaves us time lapsed frozen Holding back the waves on the lunar seas   Chorus It's after the witching  hour, I’m out of spells apart from you I can see your charms, guilt told me he does't exist His ugly friends aren't so sure, romance tells me he's an illusion But they all wanna play the intimate game Double double toil and trouble, double double toil and trouble Double double toil and trouble, can we burst the bubble ? V3  Been looking at you all night, time has no meaning to us
 There’s no final test, I know she knows what is best We're the incantation caught up in the moment Constant as the waves on the lunar seas Lets make it a long night, lets holdout till sunrise  Lets make it a long night, lets make it a slow night Chorus It's after the witching hour I'm out of spells , apart from you I can see your charms guilt told me he does't exist His ugly friends aren't so sure romance tells me he's an illusion But they all want to play They all wanna play They all wanna play The intimate game (C) PRS UK 2022 Lee Desty & Simon Wells

Better Life V1 Her heart is beating faster, it’s Friday night with the boys in town Plastic bags hidden by the sofa, she sits with damp hair in a dressing gown For too long she’s been “dumb and useless”, he gave her an arm in a cast When he asked her to forgive him, she knew it would never last. Chorus A better life is all she’s wanting, a better life than what she’s had A better life for her children, give them hope , escape the bad A better life is all she prays for, a better life she has too believe A better life to end the heartache, took all her courage to just leave V2 That morning she signed for his parcel, the regular driver saw the agreed password She knew the lady was in trouble, smuggled messages, nothing overheard. Heard his truck go down the driveway, woke the children to put on their clothes Two headlight flashes in the dark, they’re goin’ somewhere only momma knows Chorus A better life is all she’s wanting , a better life than what she’s had A better life for her children , give them hope , escape the bad A better life is all she prays for , a better life she has too believe A better life to end the heartache ,took all her courage to just leave They drove all night across state lines To find sanctuary and a brand new start She changed their names , wrote a new back story Got the kids to learn it all by heart Chorus x 2 A better life is all she’s wanting, a better life than what she’s had A better life for her children, give them hope , escape the bad A better life is all she prays for, a better life she has too believe A better life to end the heartache, took all her courage to just leave A better life , a better life (C) PRS UK 2022 Lee Desty

Ship at the end of the road V1 Three funnels red , block and altar bed Black hulled giant , standing high and dry Three funnels red , a tide that won’t wait Flat cap man , said a Queen can’t be late Chorus: The ship at the end of the road, The ship at the end of the road White foam wake , ribbon of blue And the gold leaf whispers of you V2 Three funnels red , cranes swing with ease “Red Duster” hangs , seeking a breeze. Three funnels red , the ocean still calls Cradle painter waves , hammers fall Chorus: The ship at the end of the road, The ship at the end of the road White foam wake, ribbon of blue And the gold leaf whispers of you They’re getting steam up , the rope gangs are ready Water floods the dock , she rises good and steady Up in the sky , a Comet leaves a vapour trail Deep whistle blasts , she’s ready to sail V3 Three funnels red , the Mary turns to go He loved her more than he’d know Three funnels red , she gave him back his pride When she goes, he’ll lose something deep inside Chorus: The ship at the end of the road, The ship at the end of the road Whiter foam wake , ribbon of blue And the gold leaf whispers of you (C) PRS UK 2022 Lee Desty

Over & Under V1 Tori drives over the freeway bridge in her plug in car She’s happy the battery charge will take her pretty far Tell friends it does zero to sixty in the blink of an eye If only she could beat the jams she could really let it fly Under that freeway bridge , Nate’s tarp and wood chip home His prized possession is a pillow cut from sofa foam Walks Skid Row with his “Cadillac” shopping cart He may never see sixty , since his life fell apart Chorus One goes over, one goes under One likes to be the first One just wants to eat One goes over and one goes under Two lives passing close Yet so far apart Over and under, over and under V2 Tori drums her steering wheel to some radio rock Unaware of the deals going down on a passing block She’s so wants to live in Zip nine hundred , seventy seven Six bed , eight bath with tennis court , her idea of heaven Nate flies his cardboard sign hoping to catch a passing buck But few want to help someone, who’s down on their luck Dreams of once more owning , the roof over his head He knows he badly needs a break - and that’s easier said Chorus One goes over, one goes under One likes to be the first One just wants to eat One goes over and one goes under Two lives passing close Yet so far apart Over and under, over and under Thirty five mill tear down bought just for the dirt A few miles away there’s a guy who’d love a clean shirt Some just stare, some don’t care what some people lack Gentrified and codified , they keep coming back Chorus One goes over, one goes under One likes to be the first , One just wants to eat One goes over and one goes under Two lives passing close Yet so far apart Over and under, over and under Over and under, over and under (C) PRS UK 2022 Lee Desty
