| Twice In One Day |
| Lyrics by Michael Monroe 1992 |
| LIfe Is A Mystery |
|
I try to talk, but I know you're not listening. |
| Simply Love |
| Yes, I said I love you but I won’t try to own you where’d we ever get the notion we could control this emotion Well it comes and it goes like the wind like a rose like the dance we danced last night the music stops but it’s all right Chorus Oh this love is simple this love is free This love isn’t some romantic dream Sometimes we don’t get along Sometimes we fit like a glove But underneath it all it’s simply love I’m tired of pretending forever romance happy ending When the music brings up old emotion I try to remember Love is a potion makes me laugh makes me weep And my heart slowly falls asleep And I forget our hearts are free That this loves comes from you and me Chorus Sometimes I can go all night sometimes all I do is fight But it’s all part of the dance I think it might just be a game of chance But I go on anyway And I won’t settle for marriage or hate I won’t freeze at true love’s gate |
| I Love All Kinds of Music |
| Chorus Well I love all kinds of music But I don’t do rap I hear many kinds of music But I don’t play much jazz I’ve had my share of sorrow But I don’t sing the blues I love all kinds of music And I play what I choose Now rap is just music without all those notes Free ramblings from the brain But I’m tired of talk I don’t want a word up I just want to sing Music is rhythm music is truth Music is melody music is youth Music is harmony music is listening Sometimes people ask me they say what do you play After I’ve been singin for an hour or so And I say to myself, how can I possibly put it in a box I love all kinds of music Chorus I play a little bit of reggae a few love songs And a touch of rock and roll Calypso and jazz but no Madonna Original music fills my soul I’ve got to sing my own songs... We’ve got to sing our own songs |
| Follow Your Happiness Chorus: Follow your happiness Follow your happiness If there’s one thing in this life to remember Follow your happiness Now when you’re lost in confusion and you don’t know your no from yes This advice I would give to you follow your happiness Now it ain’t easy bein’ human and yet life can be so delicious So much pleasure so much pain Sometimes I can’t tell the difference So once in awhile I stop And let the rest of the world pass me by In the quiet of my heart I find the reason why. Chorus I mean really if it’s a ll just a waste of time Playin somebody else’s game Singin somebody else’s lines Well I’d rather die But I know when I feel happy And I know when something’s askew When I’m happy I’m living in harmony And I feel closer to the truth. |
| Here Now |
| I don’t think about insurance except to drive my car I keep my money in a red bag And it doesn’t go very far I don’t have a plan for retirement I can hardly think three weeks ahead Every day is a brand new world You can pass through it living or dead Chorus Are you hear now? Here now? I try not to think about tomorrow, I try to forget yesterday All we really have is a day at a time Tell me how many moments are in a day Moment to moment it’s heaven or hell Are you missing this moment to worry about the next Are you living every day as if it were your last Or are you waiting for a time when it all will be past Chorus Living in your head trying to make sense Of a life that is more than paying the rent Try to fill your life with a future and things But you simply can’t ignore when your heart of heart sings Kick back into the inside just forget about the outside for awhile Use your freedom feel your love Take theta time to do what you love Chorus |
| Nowhere |
| I’m up I’m down I’m wandering all around Things change I change Always one foot off the ground One day I know where I’m going And the next I’m lost at sea But the fun is in the going I may not reach what I see Chorus Going nowhere Now here Loving living laughter silence tears I’m in love again and again but things change I change In the end we begin again Like a River ever flowing I will go where I will go And the joy is in the knowing That I go with the flow Chorus |
| Kiwi Fruit |
| Ever Since We’ve been together I can think about just one thing It’s forbidden fruit from the garden Its the thing that makes me sing You know I’ve tasted every kind of sweet from the tree But I just can’t seem to get enough of you and me Now that I’ve found my kiwi fruit no other juicy fruit will do I used to like the tangerine and the mango sweet But only kiwi fruit makes my meals complete Only my kiwi fruit only my kiwi fruit will do In the morning when I wake up after twelve next to you I’ve got to find my breakfast served complete Bring me kiwi fruit and please hold the meat When my icebox is bare nothing can compare To my kiwi fruit, there’s no substitute I’m gonna stay under the covers 'til you bring me my kiwi fruit Only my kiwi fruit will do, only my kiwi fruit only my kiwi fruit will do Now that I’ve found my kiwi fruit no other juicy fruit will do I used to like the tangerine and the mango sweet I sued to like Carmen Miranda’s peaches best But the kiwi fruit tastes better than all the rest. Only my kiwi fruit only my kiwi fruit will do |
| Love Will Find Us Again |
| I did my yoga in your bedroom And in the kitchen you were fryin up breakfast And I could tell by my bones and your bagels This kind of morning would not be our last And by 9am I was all alone on that turnpike exit 69 And I could still feel your kisses on my face I could still hear you singin our favorite line Chorus: Love will find us again because time is our friend And when loving should end, it will end Love will tell us the time love will drop us a line When our lives should entwine again It would have been so easy to stay Too easy to fall too hard And every time I do when I pick myself up I find another crack deep in my heart And I know that you don’t need a husband You know we both need romance So I’m sending you this love song and One day soon there’s a chance Chorus |
| Can We Learn To Love |
| I’ve been looking for a mother I’ve been looking for a child I’ve been looking for somebody To keep me from running wild Right in the middle of the loving I somehow become a little boy Still looking for love still wanting his toys What is this thing we do Something pulls us together And we act like fools What shall I be free or woman hungry It looks so much like romance You know how I love to dance. Chorus: Can we learn to love Can we ever be free Will we ever rise above All of the problems that we carry Sometimes I feel like a motherless child With mother earth all around me Still I cannot see My friends all love me So why can’t I I’m not alone in this world We breathe the same air you and I Chorus |
| Twice In One Day |
| Twice in one day I find myself in that twilight Between sleeping an d waking coming and going Just before my eyes open and before I fall at night A moment of silence Twice in one day Chorus And I’ve got to have some silence Twice in one day twice in one day And I’ve got to have some fun Twice in one day twice in one day And I’ve got to have some loving Twice in one day twice in one day.... Twice in one day we made love and she took me to that feeling Of knowing who I am without caring without worrying It was not her intention to enlighten me To make me see but it happens sometimes When the act goes so deep And I’ve got to have some loving... Chorus Sometimes I get so busy I forget what living this life is for Uncentered and dizzy I start thinking I’ve got to work for this life Like I’ve got to scratch to get what I deserve But I always seem to get just what I need And I need to have some fun....
