The Elms Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Burn and Shine

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

Yeah, we're gonna burn, burn, burn
And we're gonna shine, shine, shine

Even if it wears us out or takes us out past
These county lines, we're sick of moving
Oh, so slow and being told where to go
Making up our minds to burn and shine

One soul in a year, ain't all that bad
When it's the only chance you ever had
Don't you ever wish for something true?
Something to pour your heart and soul into?

Take all your feelings and put 'em aside
And get what matters on your mind

All you love will surely come and go
And life is all your moments in a row
No more crying for the days gone by
And no one ever loses if they try


2.You're Glowing

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

Never in my life have you ever let me down
Have I ever told you how I'd like to leave this town?
Would you cover me if I said I was leaving tonight?
It's the time of my life

If you're down the tracks, I'll ride the train
If you're in the sky, I'll fly a plane
If my hope is gone and I could die
I'll let you be strong and be a rainbow glowing in my sky

If the snow is cold and it brings me to the ground
Would you pick me up and in, no matter who's around?
Would you laugh with me if I said I'd rather cry?
It's the time of my life


3.The Buzzing Won't Stop!

Lyricist:Brent Alan Milligan, Owen Thomas

Was it something I ate?
Maybe something I made?
Put a mirror in front of me
Now it's something I hate

Well, the buzzing won't stop!
And we can't hear You talk!
We don't know how to rock if it's not okay
Help me make the buzzing go away!

Let's have a little debate
I think people are great
Though misguided and petrified
We all wanna be saved


4.A Minute to Ourselves

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

I need time away, away from all time
To make a change, to change my mind
I wanna give, I wanna share
I wanna sing like it's a prayer

If we only had a minute to ourselves

I could find hope there with You
I could find something to do
Even though I've been missing out for quite some time
We could find places to go

We could unlearn all we know
I could be Yours and You'd be mine for all of time

I got dirty hands, I got dirty feet
From all the things I can't repeat
I talk all the day â~bout how I want it to be
But it's my own fault that I'm not free


5.The Big Surprise

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

I am back, this time, I'm the big surprise
And I'm hiding behind your sofa
I'm the culture shock, temporary block
And I'll love you for the next five minutes

I'm your magazine, â~cos you read me clean
Without taking any time for pictures
I'm your hand grenade and your lemonade
â~Cos I'll blow up and leave you soured

Find somebody with a working car
And drive them crazy, too
The big surprise is me

I worked extra hard to pick your birthday card
You just threw it out and kept my money
I got up at six to make your favorite dish
So I sank when you said, you weren't hungry

Filed your tax return, let some candles burn
Played Mozart, to make your plants grow
Then I clipped the trees, got down on my knees
Not to work, just to pray, you'd see me

Find somebody who will paint your house
And gloss them over, too


6.She's Cold!

Lyricist:Thomas Daughtery, Owen Matthew Thomas

She's a killer, a real cold killer
She'll drive you out to the back
Just to kiss and attack your will

She's a monster, a real soft winner
Her heart is pumping her blood
It ain't feeling or loving or good

She'll bring the wrong sound from the underground
She's got a new bag, love in every town
She's got a cold, dead spirit in her house
I've got a feeling that I will be next in her line to fail

She's a vulture in a land of fire
She picks and she chews
And she's hungry for news to spread

She's a dancer and she moves like water
She bends and she flows
And you'll drown if you go too deep, yes, you will

She'll bring the wrong sound from the underground
She's got a new bag, love in every town
She's got a cold, dead spirit in her house
I've got a feeling that I will be next in her line to fail

She's a killer, a real cold killer
She'll drive you out to the back
Then she'll kill and attack your will

She's a monster, a real soft winner
Her heart is pumping her blood
It ain't feeling or loving or good

Her heart is pumping her blood
It ain't feeling or loving or good
Her heart is pumping her blood
It ain't feeling or loving or good

She's no good


7.Who Got the Meaning?

Lyricist:Brent Alan Milligan, Owen Matthew Thomas

You saw me climbing out the window
You saw me climbing up the walls
And I believe it 'cos You say so
Who got the meaning of it all?

I think I'm choking on a wishbone
Of all the things I never got
And I believe it 'cos You say so
You got the meaning of it all

Yeah, who got the meaning of it all?
Who got the meaning of it all?
You got the meaning of it all

You hear us screamin' from the rooftops
You see us walking in Your door
We don't know what it is to make it
But we think You've got something more

That everybody's on their own now
Nobody's fixing all the wrong
But I believe it 'cos you say so
You got the meaning of it all

Yeah, who got the meaning of it all?
Who got the meaning of it all?
You got the meaning of it all

Yeah, who got the meaning of it all?
Who got the meaning of it all?
You got the meaning of it all

Who got the meaning of it all?
You got the meaning of it all
Who got the meaning of it all?
You got the meaning of it all
You got the meaning of it all
You got the meaning of it all


8.Speaking In Tongues

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

Got the kind of face everybody knows
Run around barefoot when it snows
Growin' out your hair 'cause you like it long
Fighting in the road 'cause you know it's wrong

People got a thing for the dangerous
You'll find it inside the best of us
Taking what they want like it's owed to them
Some of us do the best we can, some of us do the best we can

Brothers, Brothers
Everybody's speaking in tongues, we gotta speak in love
Brothers, Brothers
Everybody's speaking in tongues, we gotta speak in love

Never met a man, said he did not try
Running from the truth time again in life
You can be the poor one, rich or wise
Everybody knows 'bout sacrifice

So put me in the water, put me in the fire
Put me in the world and I'll walk that wire
Seen the people come and I've seen them go
Talk all day but it's what they show, talk all day but it's what
you show

Brothers, Brothers
Everybody's speaking in tongues, we gotta speak in love
Brothers, Brothers
Everybody's speaking in tongues, we gotta speak in love

People got a thing for the dangerous
You'll find it inside the best of us
Taking what they want like it's owed to them
Some of us do the best we can

Put me in the water, put me in the fire
Put me in the world and I'll walk that wire
Seen the people come and I've seen them go
Talk all day but it's what they show

Brothers, Brothers
Everybody's speaking in tongues, we gotta speak in love
Brothers, Brothers
Everybody's speaking in tongues, we gotta speak in love, love,
love


9.Lifeboat

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

When I am scared, You are my Father
When I can't breathe, You are the air
When I can't swim, You are a lifeboat
When I'm tired and weary, You are there

And my times get high, my times get low
You always let me in on all that You know
I could give You time alone and then
You'd only come and ask me, â½Where have you been?â

When I am weak, You are my shoulders
When I'm poor, You give me a hand
And when I can't swim, You are a lifeboat
You carry me to dry land

And my times get high, my times get low
You always let me in on all that You know
I could give You time alone and then
You'd only come and ask me, â½Where have you been?â

When I'm not sure, You are my maker
Speaking words that keep me aware
When I can't swim, You are a lifeboat
When I'm tired and weary, You are there

And my times get high, my times get low
You always let me in on all that You know
I could give You time alone and then
You'd only come and ask me, â½Where have you been?â


10.Real Men Cry

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

Real men cry to their mothers and laugh with the others
When all of the jokes are on them
They're rough and they're tumble but inside they're humble
When nobody's looking, they even get sad

And they'd talk all night
They'd even break down when you think they might
And when you get past our egos
There's a heart that wants to be just like

Jesus, the man of all men
The only One that makes hearts whole again
And He could've backed down with those people around
But He proved for the last time that real men die

You can black out your windows or go where the wind blows
But you'll answer to somethin' someday
Bob said it best when his slow train went west
But dignity just doesn't pay

We could talk all night
You can even break down if you think you might
But when we can't impress there's the real test
Are we just like

Jesus, the man of all men
The only One that makes hearts whole again
And He could've backed down with those people around
But He proved for the last time that real men die

We could talk all night
You can even break down if you think you might
But when you can't impress there's your real test
Are you just like

Jesus, the man of all men
The only One that makes hearts whole again
And He could've backed down with those people around
But He proved for the last time that real men die
Yeah, He proved for the last time that real men die


11.You Get Me Every Time

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

One side of the mirror's who you are
The other side is who you want to be
And when you're through wishing you were more
Well, you can settle back and let your Father breathe

I've been warned, I've been warned

And between the eyes, You get me every time
I've wrapped myself in fear, now I can't shine
Between the eyes, You get me every time
Get me outta here, get me outta here, I wanna shine

I can see a hundred miles away
But I can't see what's right before my eyes
And when I'm through trying to be brave
Then I realize that all my courage dies

I've been warned, I've been warned

And between the eyes, You get me every time
I've wrapped myself in fear, now I can't shine
Between the eyes, You get me every time
Get me outta here, get me outta here, I wanna shine

I'm going on, if I'm wrong, You'll walk with me
I'm going on, if I'm wrong, You'll walk with me

One side of the mirror's who you are
The other side is who you want to be

And between the eyes, You get me every time
I've wrapped myself in fear, now I can't shine
Between the eyes, You get me every time
Get me outta here, check me outta here, I wanna shine

I wanna shine, ooh
I wanna shine, I wanna shine

One side of the mirror's who you are
The other side is who you want to be


12.All the While Having Fun!

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

All the while having fun
All the while having fun, I know you're the one
Everything's cut in two
Everything's cut in two, just like me and you, just like me

Not in rock 'n' roll, not in rock 'n' roll
Not in rock 'n' roll, did I find my soul

Everyone's got the nerve
Everyone's got the nerve, but no one will serve
Found a place in the sun
Found a place in the sun and still on the run, I got it

Not in rock 'n' roll, not in rock 'n' roll
Not in rock 'n' roll, did I find my soul

Not in rock 'n' roll, not in rock 'n' roll
Not in rock 'n' roll, did I find my soul
Not in rock 'n' roll, not in rock 'n' roll
Not in rock 'n' roll, did I find my soul, that's it

All the while having fun
All the while having fun
All the while having fun
All the while having fun


13.Black Peach

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

A tight little tee shirt everybody likes
You come from the country to dance away the night
It isn't that your mama wouldn't be proud
It's only that your daddy would never live it down

Almost sweet, black peach

Bold as the daylight, shooting off your mouth
You laugh like a belle but you've never been south
Walking like a cowboy, kissing like a flame
You'll let him in your heart, but he'll never get your name

Almost sweet, black peach

It ain't where you come from, ain't where you been
It ain't who you call when the clouds roll in
You spent all your youth crying, â½More, more, moreâ
And now you wanna know what living's for?

You'd kill for a good time, shooting from the hip
The boy got fresh and you fattened his lip
You cut all the classes that you never liked
And drove too fast before you even rode a bike

Almost sweet, black peach

It ain't where you come from, ain't where you been
It ain't who you call when the clouds roll in
You spent all your youth crying, â½More, more, moreâ
And now you wanna know what living's for?

You can't feel the summer all year long
You gotta know the cold to know when it's gone
The only thing brighter than the sun is truth
And only one time were you ever given proof

Almost sweet, black peach
Almost sweet, black peach
Almost sweet, black peach
You're my black peach


14.Let Love In

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

It gets tough and lonely sometimes
And your spirit's barely holding on
What could I say to make you stay?
What could I give? What words do you need to hear?

I could give you all the moments
That your sunlight chased away my clouds
But talking will be the death of me
I won't speak, just send my love your way

Well, you're waiting for salvation, it is waiting for you, too
And when life is at its darkest then the heart will pull you
through
So let love go in all you know and let love in

Summertime would see you crying
And your heart knew something had to give
You'll never deny the truths you find
You'll hang on tight to a friend you can adore

Some may offer sanctuary, give you counsel from the years
And when life is at it's darkest, you can fight away the tears
So let love go in all you know and let love in


15.Smile At Life Again

Lyricist:Thomas Vincent Daugherty, Owen Thomas

Life ain't over, life ain't done now
So get back up in your place, child
When you feel like it's the end
No mother and no friend could love you more

These are dry days and your heart breaks
When the best years seem to have gone by
I've made promises before
But no mother and no friend could love you more

You've got to smile at life again, smile at you
There's a time to let it go
And then you smile at life again
There's a time to let it go

I know that sometimes you need someone
And the soul you want is nowhere
When you're scared and left alone
Your faith becomes your reason to go on

If you'll hear me, I have known truth
I have hurt and I have cried, too
I've made promises before
But no mother and no friend could love you more

It's time to let it go


16.Through The Night

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

Hey I'm the guy who found a treasure in your eyes
And that's no surprise, there's something 'bout you clearly
I can't recall all the ones I've met before
They move on by and leave me nothing to believe in

Though the night may grow, the winds may blow
And the rain it falls from out into nowhere

Through the night you learn what it is to yearn
When you cannot find the girl
Through the night you feel how it is to kneel
Asking God for all the world

Drove all the way to drop a circus in your face
If that's what it takes, I'll do it every day now
Still for your smile, I would run another mile
Barefoot and bruised and laughing all the while

Well the rising sun says the night is done
Yeah, the day will come after the darkness

Through the night you learn what it is to yearn
When you cannot find the girl
Through the night you feel how it is to kneel
Asking God for all the world

Through the night you learn what it is to yearn
When you cannot find that girl
Through the night you feel how it is to kneel
Asking God for all the world

Through the night you learn what it is to yearn
When you cannot find the girl
Through the night you feel how it is to kneel
Asking God for all the world

Through the night you learn what it is to yearn
When you cannot find the girl
Through the night you feel how it is to kneel
Asking God for all the world

Asking God for all the world
Asking God for all the world


17.Go Toward The Glow

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

It's enough to make a boy cry
It's enough to make me ill
To have so much I wish I'd said
And have to walk away still

It's enough to make a man frown
It's enough that you give us proof
But we trade it in, and once again
We lost a little more of something true

I would be what I should be to be your baby
I would be what I should be to be your child
I would be what I should be to make you happy all the time
Make my difference worth your while

There's a light that makes things good
It's a hope that's more alive
Than anything has ever been
And that hope, it will survive

Like a moth going 'round the sky
Don't we need to find our sight?
And so we go toward the glow
That keeps us warm through bitter nights
Keeps us warm through bitter nights

I would be what I should be to be your baby
I would be what I should be to be your child
I would be what I should be to make you happy all the time
Make my difference worth your while

I would be what I should be to be your baby
I would be what I should be to see your smile
I would be what I should be to make you happy all the time
Make my difference worth your while
Make my difference worth your while


18.The First day

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

All I want is someone real
Someone to hold a candle with me, let the night fires burn
It's not what I choose, it's what I feel
If we don't see eye to eye, you go your way, I'll go mine
And that's alright

So raise the glass and look right past the time you've thrown
away
The tragedies and enemies, the debts you'll never pay
Understand it's in your hand to turn the other way
Make tomorrow the first day

A person's love, a starry night
All wonderful but none as grand as the man who chooses life
And we compete in word and deed
You think we'd learn by now that's not what people need
But that's our style

So raise the glass and look right past the time you've thrown
away
The tragedies and enemies, the debts you'll never pay
Now understand it's in your hand to turn the other way
And make tomorrow the first day

Birds take to the sky, we open our eyes
You're saying hello, I'm waving goodbye to the old days

So raise the glass and look right past the time you've thrown
away
The tragedies and enemies, the debts you'll never pay
Understand it's in your hand to turn the other way
Make tomorrow the first day, make tomorrow the first day
Make tomorrow the first day, make tomorrow the first day
Make tomorrow the first day

You're movin' on, you're movin' on, you're movin' on
The past is gone, you're movin' on
The past is gone, you're movin' on
The first day


19.Bring Me Your Tea

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

I've been working on the land, hot sun got to me
Think I may be dying, bring me your tea
Sheep in the thicket, fruit on the tree
I work till I'm bleeding, bring me your tea

The copper is the trade now, who'd ever think
There are men finding money down in the drink
My gun is more faithful than I'll ever be
If war has me thirsty, bring me your tea

I don't get no opinion with four mouths to feed
I'd sell off my future to get what we need
Well, this is my burden, it's all I can see
If life has me weary, bring me your tea


20.I Am The World

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

I am the world, I'm the boys and the girls
I'm the dads on the grind, paying rent, punching time
I'm the guy on TV, saying, â½Jesus is nearâ
I'm the man in the cell, I'm his courage and fear

I'm the trust that you give and the honor you lose
I'm the future you change every moment you choose

I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours

I'm the joy in the air at the birth of your child
And the pressure to win so your father will smile
I am the King, I'm the Czar, I'm the Pope
I'm your finest good deeds and your worst dirty jokes

I'm the air that you breathe when you got no more steam
I'm the people you trust, I'm the people who leave

I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours

I am the sun and the darkest of nights
I am choice to the left, I am death to the right
I'm the dull of the blues and the sting of the bruise
I am with you for good, I'm the world, I'm the rules

I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours

I am the world, I am the world
I am the world, I am the world


21.I Left My Body And Never Came Back

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

You know, I can't forget what I saw the last
The bright red dress and the yellow sash
The cold blew in with the past the day
I left my body and never came back

Was in my tenth grade year when I lost my love
She told me that she'd had enough
The cold blew in and it burned the day
I left my body and never returned
Left my body and never returned

And you watch your baby become a lady
Then you cry but maybe then
You'll get a chance again

I brought an open heart and a big bouquet
The perfect gift for a summer day
You never know when you'll become a man
I left that flower and never came back
Left that flower and never came back

And you watch your baby become a lady
And you cry but maybe then
You'll get a chance again

And you watch your baby become a lady
And you cry but maybe
She'll get a chance to save me

In the time she kissed me
She became my history
I would kill to try again
I'll get a chance again


22.I've Been Wrong

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

I've been wrong from the beginning
I've been wrong from the beginning
If you've been losing while I've been winning
Then I've been wrong from the beginning

I sit by the river, I've got my feet in the water
I feel about a dollar like I feel about a daughter
If I've been laughing while you've been crying
Then I've been wrong from the beginning

I got a house on the border, I got shoes made of leather
I got a robe made of velvet, I got a bed made of feather
If you've been freezing while I've been sleeping
Then I've been wrong and for that I'm weeping

If you've been freezing while I've been sleeping
Then I've been wrong and for that I'm changing


23.Makes Good Sense

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

I got places we can go, there will be no-one around
There's a bridge over the river at the edge of the town
Where there's nothing they can hear, there's nothing to see
Wanna help you make sense to me

If you're crawling through the window or locked in the house
I'll be over in a while and we'll figure it out
You got something you can do, you got nowhere to be
Wanna help you make sense to me

'Cause I got a little time and I need to get a touch
And my heart's the kind of broken that won't take much
There's a time to be together, time to go free
And you make good sense to me

Well, it ain't a real vacation but it's all that we got
I'll come out and we'll go swimming where the water is hot
Yeah, we'll live a little summer, you'd never believe
I can help you make sense to me

'Cause I got a little time and I need to get a touch
And my heart's the kind of broken that won't take much
There's a time to be together, time to go free
And you make good sense to me

Real good sense

I can hear them through the bushes, they're chasing us out
And they'll never understand what our secret's about
See the promises I made may never come true
But I know I made sense to you

'Cause I got a little time and I need to get a touch
And my heart's the kind of broken that won't take much
There's a time to be together, time to go free
And you make good sense to me

Yeah, I got a little time and I need to get a touch
And my heart's the kind of broken that won't take much
There's a time to be together, time to go free
And you make good sense to me
Yeah, you make good sense to me


24.Nothin' To Do With Love

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

There's a rip like a hole
In the heart, in the soul
Of the man who wants
Nothing to do with love

There's a girl like a hope
That she could never know
If you say you want
Nothing to do with love

If you can never be true, it's got nothing to do
It's got nothing to do with love
If there's a devil in you, he's got nothing to do
He's got nothing to do with love

There's a kid who was told
When you give you get sold
So he says he wants
Nothing to do with love

There's a prayer that will rise
From the fields to the skies
Don't you say you want
Nothing to do with love

If you can never be true, it's got nothing to do
It's got nothing to do with love
If there's a devil in you, he's got nothing to do
He's got nothing to do with love

Never be true, it's got something to do
With the words that you said or the hell you've been through
It's got nothing to do? It's got nothing to do?
It's got nothing to do? It's got nothing to do?

If you'll never be true, it's got nothing to do
It's got nothing to do with love
If there's a devil in you, he's got nothing to do
He's got nothing to do with love

It's got nothing to do, it's got nothing to do
It's got nothing to do with love
It's got nothing to do, it's got nothing to do
It's got nothing to do with love


25.The Chess Hotel

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

In my town, there's a piece of hell
A little dig called The Chess Hotel
You can move on in and be a small town slave
Or you can get out now if you're feeling brave

Shake a little shake
Give a little give
Take a little chance on the run

Don't let no one forget
Don't let mama regret
Give your love and your sweat
Till you're shining

Make the best of your time
Don't you finish your prime
Give your all and a dime
Till you're shining

Well, there's Rachel down in room 103
Had her second child at seventeen
She's got every day to figure out
How the babies gonna do without

Shake a little shake
Give a little give
Take a little chance on the run

Don't let no one forget
Don't let mama regret
Give your love and your sweat
Till you're shining

Make the best of your time
Don't you finish your prime
Give your all and a dime
Till you're shining

Get on out of the Chess Hotel, get on out
If you escape alive, you're doing well

Get out now, get out now
Get out now, get out now


26.The Downtown King

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

He looks in the mirror and flexes and shaves
And his mind says he's cut and he's tall and he's brave
He wears cologne to the spa and a tie to the store
And he laughs like a chump and he talks like a bore

He smokes on a clove and he sits in a ride
That's got room for himself and a girl on the side
He'll polish his shoes so he can look down and see
The reflection of him, the reflection is me

Check out the tune that the boy brings with him
He got the sound of the downtown rhythm
Blues in the back and he likes my singin'
He's got the sound, he's the downtown king, yeah

He's got the sound, he's the downtown king, yeah
Blues in the back, he's the downtown king

He plays drums in the church house and calls in the law
Then he charms out the cops with the swing and the draw
He wanna sit in the booth, you can sit in the chair
And he'll listen and smile but he's not really there

Check out the tune that the boy brings with him
He got the sound of the downtown rhythm
Blues in the back and he likes my singin'
He's got the sound, he's the downtown king, yeah

He's got the sound, he's the downtown king, yeah
Blues in the back, he's the downtown king
He's got the sound, he's the downtown king, yeah
Blues in the back, he's the downtown king

Check out the tune that the boy brings with him
He got the sound of the downtown rhythm
Blues in the back and he likes my singin'
He's got the sound, he's the downtown king, yeah

Check out the tune that the boy brings with him
He got the sound of the downtown rhythm
Blues in the back and he likes my singin'
He's got the sound, he's the downtown king, yeah


27.The Way I Will

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

Please, just deliver me peace and a chance to stay
It ain't even closure I need, it's a recovery
Well, I'd sink in the water or cry at the altar
I'd bleed for a minute to say?

That he won't bring you summer like the way I will
And he won't make you shiver like the way I will
And he won't love your mother like the way I will
And he won't last forever like the way I will

God, if I'd only have thought then she'd wear my name
Shame how you look when you fail and babe, I look that way
Well, you say that we're over, there's nothing to show for
The years you spent trying to say?

That she won't bring me summer like the way you will
And she won't make me shiver like the way you will
And she won't love my mother like the way you will
And she won't last forever like way you will

Please, just a minute now
Please, just a second now
Please, just a moment to say?

That he won't bring you summer like the way I will
And he won't make you shiver like the way I will
And he won't love your mother like the way I will
And he won't last forever like the way I will

No, he won't bring you summer like the way I will
And he won't make you shiver like the way I will
And he won't love your mother like the way I will
And he won't last forever like the way I will


28.Who Puts Rock & Roll In Your Blood?

Lyricist:Owen Matthew Thomas

I've been talking to myself 'bout the greatness coming
Talking to myself 'bout the greatness coming
Talking to myself 'bout the greatness coming
Greatness coming my way

Crying to myself 'bout the old man dying
Crying to myself 'bout the old man dying
Crying to myself 'bout the old man dying
Taking his soul away

Who puts rock & roll in your blood?
Who puts rock & roll in your blood?
Who puts all that give in your love?
Who puts rock & roll in your blood?

We been shooting from a gun that was made for killing
Shooting from a gun that was made for killing
Shooting from a gun that was made for killing
Throw your weapon away

We been dreaming of a life that was made for wishing
Dreaming of a life that was made for wishing
Dreaming of a life that was made for wishing
Work, work, working all day, all day, man

Who puts rock & roll in your blood?
Who puts rock & roll in your blood?
Who puts all that give in your love?
Who puts rock & roll in your blood?

Who puts rock & roll in your blood?
I said who puts rock & roll in your blood?
In your blood

We put rock & roll in your blood
We put rock & roll in your blood
We put rock & roll in your blood
We put rock & roll in you

We put rock & roll in your blood
We put rock & roll in your blood
We put rock & roll in your blood
We put rock & roll in your blood

In your blood


29.Here's My Hand

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

We all want to get our way sometimes
We're all born then choose to give up our lives
You hooked me when you promised the way
So from now until forever I say

Here's my hand, here's my hand
You told me I was good enough to stand
Here's my hand

We all know the limits in our design
So live off the truth and make up your mind
It's silly just to get in the way
So put 'em up and say it today

Here's my hand, here's my hand
You told me I was good enough to stand
Here's my hand

And what you give, you take it along
And what you hold, you find that it's gone

We all want to get our way sometimes
Here's my hand, here's my hand
You told me I was good enough to stand

Here's my hand, here's my hand
You told me I was good enough to stand
Here's my hand, here's my hand
You told me I was good enough to stand
Here's my hand, here's my hand, here's my hand


30.Come to Me

Lyricist:Owen Thomas

Don't I sit on the front porch waitin' on you to come?
And when you finally get there, don't my heart start runnin'
along
It's a beautiful thing when you come to me
A beautiful thing when you come to me

Don't I sit on the front porch waitin' on you to show?
If you said the words, don't you know I would get up and go
It's a beautiful thing when you come to me
A beautiful thing when you come to me

It's the thrill of your sound, it puts me on the ground
Well, I'm gone but I'll be home soon
It's a beautiful thing when you come to me
A beautiful thing when you come to me, hey

Don't I sit up at night just waitin' on a song to sing?
When you finally call me, I wanna give you all of my everythin'
It's a beautiful thing when you speak to me
A beautiful thing when you speak to me

It's the thrill of your sound, it puts me on the ground
Well, I'm gone but I'll be home soon
And it's a beautiful thing when you come to me

Don't I think about you daytime when the stars are gone?
I think about you evenin's when I'm singin' my songs
It's a beautiful thing when you come to me

Don't I sit on the front porch waitin' on you to show?
If you said the words, I would get up and go
It's a beautiful thing when you come to me
A beautiful thing when you come to me

It's the thrill of your sound, it puts me on the ground
Well, I'm gone but I'll be home soon
It's the thrill of your sound, it puts me on the ground
Well, I'm gone but I'll be home soon
It's a beautiful thing when you come to me
