Be Who You Be 03:19
lyrics

BE WHO YOU BE All these songs are haunting my head I gotta get em out before I’m old or dead Sweet subliminal sounds of the night Choirs of devils and angels fighting for my mind And I don’t give a F* what you think of me Cos I’m all the woman I’ll ever be My insecurity ran deep, so deep Now it can run right on and wash out to sea CHORUS Cos I am free Got all I need Be who you be Cos tomorrow holds no guarantees Used to roam dark clubs and dance floors Trying to find myself in a crowd of lost souls Alcohol and popping x, ain’t the cure for low confidence Gotta have love for yourself Gotta have love for yourself Girl you gotta love yourself And I don’t give a F* what you think of me Cos I’m all the woman you’ll never be My insecurity ran deep, so deep Now it can run right on and wash out to sea CHORUS Cos I am free Got all I need Be who you be Cos tomorrow holds no guarantees The past is gone, the woman’s born No fools are here to hold me down Gotta have love for yourself The past is gone, the woman’s born No fools are here to hold me down Gotta have love for yourself

Love Without Sex 03:38
lyrics

Love Without Sex Do I call you up or leave you home? When your words have cut me to the bone And I would die if you ignored the telephone Yes at times I have been blind You weren’t the first thing on my mind But you have returned with quite a bang CHORUS Is friendship just love without the sex? It’s easy going yet so complex More hassle then we’re told But worth it’s weight in gold, yeah I told you so many times he’s not for you The right lover won’t leave you so hurt and blue Take time to recover, and discover How to love yourself And I know this world has hit you hard Beat you down and left you scarred But you are beautiful, oh beautiful As you are. CHORUS Is friendship just love without the sex? It’s easy going yet so complex More hassle then we’re told But worth it’s weight in gold, yeah Middle A friendship like that Is a friendship built to last A friendship so true A friendship me and you CHORUS Is friendship just love without the sex? It’s easy going yet so complex More hassle then we’re told But food for your soul, yeah

Little Friend 02:53
lyrics

Little Friend Little girl, you got the world at your feet You got all that you need, you’re gonna make it here The sun will rise and a rainbow will be waiting for you It’s pretty painted colours in the blue sky All the wishes, all the star dust sprinkled chocolate kisses Belong to you Little boy, though this life may seem tough You have more than enough, you’re gonna make it here The moon will smile as a sleepy world awakens for you Go ride upon your pillow to a faraway land Happy thoughts, bubble wrapped in soft white blanket cloth Belong to you Middle Lions and unicorns, cabbages and kings Life is but a looking glass so let the fun begin Alice in a rowing boat, drifting down the stream Story telling as we go What is this but a dream What is this but a dream The sun will rise and a rainbow will be waiting for you It’s pretty painted colours in the blue sky All the wishes, all the star dust sprinkled chocolate kisses Belong to you

Carter Scratch 02:56

Carter Scratch Shut up, behave, do what you’re told Keep yourself pretty, don’t grow old Do all the work then be ignored, woman From the silver screen to the centrefold If you show a lot of flesh you’ll be adored Whether choice or coercion It makes my blood run cold CHORUS So break out, break out, break out of yourself Reach for heaven, kick up hell Don’t tell me a man will never be matched Was a woman’s work, the Carter Scratch I am Rosa Parks, I am Lady Trieu I am a hidden figure from a history book I am a silenced sister trying to get to school But a gun is in my face, what you gonna do? CHORUS So break out, break out, break out of yourself Reach for heaven, kick up hell Don’t tell me a man will never be matched Was a woman’s work, the Carter Scratch Middle As the glorify the boy, put him on a pedestal I’ve watched with hungry fire And my time is coming soon JAMEELA SPEECH CHORUS So break out, break out, break out of yourself Reach for heaven, kick up hell Don’t tell me a man will never be matched Was a woman’s work, the Carter Scratch

Glaswegian Lights 04:33

Glaswegian Lights The pain I made was etched upon your face The lines designs of my mistakes A bitter pill can’t bare to taste And when I said can’t do this again The world misplaced in my head There was no good just negative So I’ll collect these words as they are falling Like the rain on the roof in early morning Wakes me, with thoughts of you And I’ll listen to the voices calling Ghosts in my head and heart they’re talking They tell me, to go to you CHORUS Glaswegian lights shine bright Illuminate my mind and guide me home Glaswegian Lights shine bright My Day and Night My One True North The past, it’s chains will fade And all that will remain A love for you, coursing through my veins In waves, till I have no more. And though you feel the story is not real Just watch the hand, the heart, they deal The cards of truth this time So I’ll collect these words as they are falling Like the rain on the roof in early morning Wakes me, with thoughts of you And I’ll listen to the voices calling Ghosts in my head and heart they’re talking They tell me, to go to you CHORUS Glaswegian lights shine bright Illuminate my mind and guide me home Glaswegian Lights shine bright My Day and Night My One True North Middle And now I fear the greatest part of me Is somewhere left behind Cos now it’s clear the best part was you And what was yours and mine CHORUS

Fair Weather Dim the light, come be here by my side We’ll close the door on the world outside And tonight you’ll just be mine I want to breath you in, like a dancing careless wind That pirouettes, across an endless Amber setting sky CHORUS Fair weather friends that are only out in the sun Fair weather friends never last the seasons to come Though the valleys may run deep You are the peaceful winding stream A love that can move the mountains Into the heart of the sea So come share this eventide You my board and fireside The voice that sings the sweetest melody Into my heart and mind CHORUS Fair weather friends that are only out in the sun Fair weather friends never last the seasons to come Middle I can see that beauty fades Wild bloom to withered wood I can feel the winds of change I can see that all we have is now CHORUS Fair weather friends that are only out in the sun Fair weather friends never last the seasons to come

Art Aesthetic If you could only see through my mind You’d see the thought of you drives me wild Like a Van Gogh, a summer’s day, Soleil levant de Monet Colours dance to the sounds of life Synesthesing before my eyes Like Crystalline in the rain Lustre forming in my brain Union des sens, unite Art is Art for Art’s sake CHORUS Ooh baby, you baby never let up You got me losing my head and I can’t get enough I want your body, I want your effect Ooh baby, you baby, Art Aesthetic Words flow through the hands of time Restorating this heart of mine Like some art-form interplay Let music paint the poets way Hedonism in naked lines Visions of Venus side by side Sappho, Dorian Gray, Erotica, The Modern Tate Union des sens, unite Art is Art for Art’s sake CHORUS Ooh baby, you baby never let up You got me losing my head and I can’t get enough I want your body, I want your effect Ooh baby, you baby, Art Aesthetic Middle Colours dance to the sounds of life Synesthesing in my eyes I breath them in they drive me wild Dada, Salvador, Painted Picture, Hobby Horse, Cut up Poetry, Anti-bourgeois lunacy, Duschamp, Warhol, Pop Art, Rock and Roll, Man-ray, Oppenheim, Kandinsky’s in the Guggenheim. CHORUS Ooh baby, you baby never let up You got me losing my head and I can’t get enough I want your body, I want your effect Ooh baby, you baby, Art Aesthetic

Annie Lennox Walks in the room like it’s 83 She got the look, got the touch, got you falling at her feet Got unclassifiable energy Pixie cut, a stare like steel Tailored suit, the androgyny is real It’s subversive sexuality Strobe lights flashing as her records on Fixated in a haze of her cologne Uptempo in a minor key She’s a synthesiser, ice machine CHORUS Limbs like liquid flow like gold Take me to the heart of the beat, move my soul Take me to the night life, where I’ll be Anything I want to be (an Annie Lennox Masterpiece) Limbs like liquid flow like gold Take me to the heart of the sound, move my soul Take me to the dance floor where I’ll be, free, yeah x 3 It's a new wave, it's a new wave Annie, Annie, Annie Singular, she don’t need no one She got her mind made up, gonna get what she wants Self-validity, with non-conformity, with ingenuity, creates the masterpiece Strobe lights flashing as her records on She’s an alien in human form Sartorial, cybernetic chic She’s a synthesiser CHORUS Limbs like liquid flow like gold Take me to the heart of the beat, move my soul Take me to the night life, where I’ll be Anything I want to be (an Annie Lennox Masterpiece) Limbs like liquid flow like gold Take me to the heart of the sound, move my soul Take me to the dance floor where I’ll be, free, yeah x 3 Middle Paint a rumour, watch it spread Visionary, cutting edge Gender bender, she is the face Revolutionising CHORUS Limbs like liquid flow like gold Take me to the heart of the beat, move my soul Take me to the night life, where I’ll be Anything I want to be (an Annie Lennox Masterpiece) Limbs like liquid flow like gold Take me to the heart of the sound, move my soul Take me to the dance floor where I’ll be, free, yeah x 3
