HOME AGAIN John Soeder © 2011 Can we make it through dinner Without a fight Can we try a little harder Just one night It doesn’t matter who’s right It doesn’t matter who’s wrong I know we’ll miss these days When they’re gone When they’re gone You can’t get there on a boat You can’t get there on a plane You just have to close your eyes And take a walk through your brain You can’t get there on a boat You can’t get there on a plane You just have to close your eyes And you will be home again I’m taking a mental picture Everybody say cheese (cheese) Move in a little closer If you please (please) Life’s too short Even when the days are long And I’ll miss your smiling faces Before too long When they’re gone You can’t get there on a boat You can’t get there on a plane You just have to close your eyes And take a walk through your brain You can’t get there on a boat You can’t get there on a plane You just have to close your eyes And you will be home again

DO I EVER CROSS YOUR MIND? John Soeder © 2011 Do I ever cross your mind And if I do Would you mind If I linger there Awhile Do I ever cross your mind If I do Would you mind If I hang out there Awhile You always made me smile Now I’ve got so much on my mind People can be so unkind But when I think of you Happy memories Float like big white puffy clouds Across a blue sky Don’t know what I hope to find I’m just looking for peace of mind I’m just looking for one little sign Look both ways Before you cross my mind My thoughts are racing I keep on chasing These visions of you All the while You always made me smile I’ve got so much on my mind these days Lost and lonely in a haze But when I think of you Happy memories Float like big white puffy clouds Across a blue sky Do I ever cross your mind anymore And if I do Would you mind If I linger there Awhile

YOU’RE SO RETRO John Soeder © 2011 I’m a forward-thinking guy You’re so retro But I can’t get you off my mind You’re so retro I’m in deep I can’t win You warp the space-time continuum It’s do or die Sink or swim You’re so retro Let’s have a blast from the past Try to make the good times last You’re so retro You’re so retro I love it when you’re next to me In your vintage T You’re so retro You’re so retro Another time, another place You’re so retro I recall the look on your face You’re so retro Back dated Chrome plated I’ve never been more elated Living in the present is overrated You’re so retro Let’s have a blast from the past Try to make the good times last You’re so retro You’re so retro I love it when you’re next to me In your vintage T You’re so retro You’re so retro I’m in too deep, I just can’t win It’s déjà vu all over again Let’s have a blast from the past Try to make the good times last You’re so retro You’re so retro I love it when you’re next to me In your vintage T You’re so retro You’re so retro I love it when you’re next to me In your vintage T You’re so retro You’re so retro

Billy Rocket 04:15

BILLY ROCKET John Soeder © 2011 Billy Rocket Was a friend of mine He kept a telescope Pointed at the sky Looking for A place to land Billy Rocket Was a bright young man Now in the dead-end suburb where we grew up The only way out was up Everyone trying to escape The same dead-end fate Other kids hatched crazy schemes And pinned their hopes on earthbound dreams But Billy had the brains And Billy had the means They come from miles around To see the rocket hot-wired to a station wagon Commence the countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 We have ignition We have ignition Billy rushed home after school Holed up in the basement Mixing rocket fuel A little glue and some balsa wood The kid was good There she stood The moment of truth arrived All systems go for a rocket ride When the time came To let her rip Billy pushed the button And gave those surly bonds the slip They come from miles around To see the rocket hot-wired to a station wagon Commence the countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 We have ignition We have ignition They come from miles around To see the rocket hot-wired to a station wagon Commence the countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 We have ignition We have ignition Billy Rocket Was a friend of mine

YOUR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET John Soeder © 2011 I know your dirty little secret I saw you sneaking out the back What about your friends What if they find out O babe they’ll all have heart attacks You tell me it’s a free country But freedom isn’t free I know your dirty little secret And your dirty little secret’s safe with me I got a good hunch where you’re going I know exactly where you’ve been The evidence is overwhelming Don’t try to act so innocent It may be a free country But freedom isn’t free I know your dirty little secret And you dirty little secret’s safe with me The better part of valor is discretion Indiscretion Got the best of you You tell me it’s a free country But freedom isn’t free I know your dirty little secret ’Cause your dirty little secret is me I know your dirty little secret Your dirty little secret is me

WHAT IS A POOR BOY TO DO? John Soeder © 2011 When you’re on top of the world It’s all downhill And all the money in the world Can’t buy a thrill Sing the same old song ’til it sounds brand new What is a poor boy to do What is a poor boy to do I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way Save it for tomorrow but I need it today The zebras are running the zoo What is a poor boy to do What is a poor boy to do Much ado about nothing Is better than nothing ’Cause when you got nothing Much ado is still something I love you baby but you do me wrong I can’t sing but I’m singing this song I’m going blind in a room with a view What is a poor boy to do What is a poor boy to do Much ado about nothing Is better than nothing ’Cause when you got nothing Much ado is still something I love you baby but you do me wrong I can’t sing but I’m singing this song I’m going blind in a room with a view What is a poor boy to do What is a poor boy to do What is a poor boy to do What‘s a poor boy to do

SENSE OF WONDER John Soeder © 2011 Orion way up high In the winter sky A flash of lightning A clap of thunder Fill me with a sense of wonder An electric sunrise Reflected in your eyes God doesn’t make mistakes Only perfect blunders Fill me with a sense of wonder You can’t see it (sense of wonder) You can’t hear it (sense of wonder) You can’t taste it You can’t smell it You can’t touch it You just feel Sense of wonder The beauty of life The cruelty of fate From the highest heights I’ve soared To the deepest depths I’ve plundered I have known a sense of wonder You can’t see it (sense of wonder) You can’t hear it (sense of wonder) You can’t taste it You can’t smell it You can’t touch it But it’s real Sense of wonder More than we’ll ever know Farther than we’ll ever go Above and beyond Over and under Forever and ever A sense of wonder Here’s looking at you friend Before my little song comes to an end May you always be happy And even if you live to be 100 I hope you'll never lose Your sense of wonder You can’t see it (sense of wonder) You can’t hear it (sense of wonder) You can’t taste it You can’t smell it You can’t touch it You just feel Sense of wonder You can’t see it (sense of wonder) You can’t hear it (sense of wonder) You can’t taste it You can’t smell it You can’t touch it But it’s really real Sense of wonder

WAXWING SWEET John Soeder © 2011 I. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, ICARUS I want to reach out And touch the face of God I want to soar Above it all Higher and higher With no fear Is it just me Or is it hot up here II. ON A NIGHT SUCH AS THIS A night Such as this Could end in bloodshed Or it could end With a kiss Anything could happen On a night Such as this III. LEAVING FOR THE CITY Leaving in the morning Middle of a dream Leaving you a message On your machine Seeing is believing Let’s not make a scene I’m leaving for the city I’m leaving for the city Low rider Highway My love is on the way Repondez s’il vous plait I’m leaving for the city IV. FOUR EYES My baby’s got four eyes My baby’s got four eyes Smooth talker Moonwalker Rock ’n’ roll around the clocker My baby’s got four eyes But how can she read my mind If love is blind V. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, ICARUS (REPRISE) I want to reach out And touch the face of God I want to soar Above it all Higher and higher With no fear Is it just me Or is it hot up here
