The Kings Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Switchin' To Glide

Lyricist:David Broadbent, John Picard

Nothing matters but the weekend
From a Tuesday point of view
Like a kettle in the kitchen
I feel the steam begin' to brew

Switchin' to glide
Energy can be directed
I'm turning it up, I'm turning it down
Even love can be affected

Harmony's the sweetest sound
Switching to glide
Balancing in my head, inside of me
Taking the glide path instead

Everybody gets the no, no
Hear it ringing in they ears
Lots of ways that you can go, go
Look around, no disappears


2.It's Okay

Lyricist:David Warren Broadbent, John Campbell Picard

Apartment buzzing, you are out
I buzz a dozen jump and shout
I am kidding, I just split
It doesn't matter not one bit, not two shits
It's okay

You know my habit, said you'd wait
Long distance fade out much too late
I am working and I can't quit
Doesn't matter not one bit, not two shits
It's okay

Ms. Understanding, come to me
I'm in motion, painfully
Love's no tailor's custom fit
It doesn't matter not one bit, not two shits
It's okay


3.Go Away

Lyricist:David Warren Broadbent, John Campbell Picard

Go away
Your daddy don't mind at all if I come around
As long as I don't stay all night
Your mother Mary's giving me the eye ball
She doesn't know if you'd be alright

Said, they were taking a trip, going south for a bit
Gonna see whatever sights they can see
So good-bye now, have a real good holiday
Kiss them once and pocket the keys

Said, go on, go on, go away
Have a good time but won't you go away

When it's late at night you signal with the porch light
That's a green light to me
Then we head up to your lovely little bedroom
Anticipating what there will be

There's parasols and your baby dolls
Undo me, honey, babe, I can't wait
But there's a car coming this way it's pulling in the driveway
Your folks are home, hope I can escape

Screaming get off, get out, go away
Call me tomorrow but won't you go away?


4.Run Shoes Running

Lyricist:David Warren Broadbent, John Campbell Picard

This marathon is over now I am withdrawing
You say there is no future but I feel one dawning
I gave too much of me when you were the strong one
My new girl has shown me you were the wrong one

Run shoes running
Real fast I fell in love and real fast I'm leaving
Your black book is this thick so you are not needing
So dry your crying eyes you are affecting
You want to stop my exit and then neglect me


5.Anti Hero Man

Lyricist:David Warren Broadbent, John Campbell Picard

So you think that I'm an asshole
But I'm movin', movin' and you're standing still
And you think I've got a problem
'Cause I'm hungry and I never get my fill

Life's too short for trivia, there is no time to waste
I do things deliberately and meet them face to face
I see people digging in and making all these plans
I just run and jump around I'm Anti Hero Man

So you think that I'm lonely
By your standards I'd rather be that way instead
And you think you've got the answer
There's no question, follow and you'll be misled

Let's not get too serious there is no time to waste
I do things deliberately and meet them face to face
I see people digging in and making all these plans
I just run and jump around I'm Anti Hero Man


6.Love Store

Lyricist:David Warren Broadbent, John Campbell Picard

The signs are out the timing's right
No doubt about what's doing tonight
She called me up she called my name
She's in a rut and wants to feel the flame

I got a love store
And I've got everything you're looking for
And if you want to go walking
I know a pathway in the park
We laugh whenever we are just talking
And I love the city after dark

We hit the street, we head uptown
No one we meet will tie us down
We'll find the band they're called The Kings
We're holding hands as David Diamond sings

I got a love store
And I've got everything you're looking for
And if you check my selection
I'm sure you'll like the guarantee
The price will surely pass your inspection
'Cause today my love is free

I got a love store
And I've got everything you're looking for
And if you want to befriend me
Rest assured that you have thrown a spark
Your love is something that you can lend me
Love the city after dark


7.My Habit

Lyricist:David Warren Broadbent, William Lanza, John Campbell Picard

I'm lazy and I'm crazy
And I don't think straight working is for me
I kick this and I quit that
But I grab hold of things that make me happy

I'm movin', improvin', nothing slowing me down
A changer to a stranger
Because of the different things that I've seen

You know me and I'll sing you
A picture of everywhere that I have been
Places I go all show life to me
Things that I learn return musically
This is my habit, spread it around


8.Don't Let Me Know

One and one ain't always two
With a woman like you
One minute you're happy
Next minute you're blue

Tell me you got a man
Across town, baby
What should I do
Help you pack your bags and go?

Baby, it's through
Turn my face to the wall
Don't wanna see any more

Baby, when you want home
Don't let me know
You know I've heard that story before
I can't listen no more
Baby, when you want home
Don't let me know

You say that
We have our problems
People like us do
And it's not always easy
To make it all run smooth

Can't believe you'd go searching
For another baby
When all you need is her
I won't go on waitin' for you
When you disappear
