Because
My friend, it's not right the way you treat your girlfriend all night
My friend, try again, 'cause now you see her going away
ran away, she ran away, because you say go away, she ran away
Hey man, you're not bright, you love her but you can't be polite
Hey man, it's a shame, 'cause now you see her going away
I Wanna Feel Like That
I'm in love with this place
Said I'm in love with this place
See how far we can go
It's something you'll never know
Peaceful times for two more days
Far away from concrete lanes
I like to rest a moment there
It makes me feel a happy man
I wanna feel like that
I'm in love with yours ways
Said I'm in love with your ways
See how far we can go in love
It's something they'll never know
Peaceful times for two more days
Far away from concrete lanes
I like to rest a moment there
It makes me feel a happy man
I wanna feel like that
Against all odds
It's time to go, pick up your cases
Just go backstage, remember your places
We shine again, though we're not stars
So harder we play, we're gonna fight against all odds
Against all odds
The sound we make feels like fire
That burns and spreads and people inspire
We shine again, though we're not stars
So harder we play, we're gonna fight against all odds
Against all odds
We shine again, though we're not stars
'Cause all we have are drums and guitars
So harder we play, we're gonna fight against all odds
Against all odds
In the Rain
We met that day, and I knew you would stay, you would stay
We talked about, the life we want to portait, to display
I can only love you, no place for hate
Eagerly protecting you from the tides in the rain, in the rain
We got a lot to do, nobody wants to go through, bad things too
it's easy to decide, the way we choose is so true, it's so true
I can only love you, no place for hate
Eagerly protecting you from the tides in the rain, in the rain
Love will always follow, along the way
Properly accompanying, you and I in the rain, in the rain
We met that day...
I can only love you, no place for hate
Eagerly protecting you from the tides in the rain, in the rain
Love will always follow, along the way
Properly accompanying, you and I in the rain, in the rain
Iommi
Tony was a guy, a music man who tried
to make a living somehow
He worked in factories with dangerous machines
an accident would happen now
He cried and cried
The machine's gonna hurt me, cut me for life
How can I dream if I can't play guitar
He tried and tried
Tony fixed his hand, new fingertips he had
He changed the way most people play
Something new to hear and he made history
So thank you Tony we all say
We love you today
The machine's gonna hurt me, cut me for life
How can I dream if I can't play guitar
He tried and tried
Tony was a guy, a music man who tried
He changed the way most people play
We love you today

Falling Sun
Hello my lady, I'm coming home
I long to be with you and not alone
Together seeing the falling sun
I lost my way but I came back
I used to be this living wreck
But don't you worry that guy is dead
We got something special, one and one makes two
Feeling our passion, it's easy loving you
Girl
Oh girl, you wanna have a new sensation
Oh girl, planning our new adventure
You say it's cool in Japan
I say it's better in Spain
We can make up your mind
So girl let's take that train
Oh girl, we are a good combination
Oh girl, 'cause love is our destination
You say it's cool in Hawaii
I say it's better Bombai
We can make up your mind
So girl let's board that plane
Night Vision
People are comin'
We're gonna play this game
Hidding in darkness
Shadows are all the same
I got a secret
Something that I can do
I see all lightwaves
I can find all of you
Night vision, night vision
I see you and win the competition
Night vision, night vision
You're all blind but I know your position
Night vision, night vision
Like That
Because I have night vision
I find this girl in the rain
against all odds we can play
I want to feel like that
I want to feel like that
We shine again
though we're not stars
So harder we play
We're gonna fight against all odds
Tony was a guy
A music man who tried
to make a living somehow
Love will always follow
along the way
Properly accompaning
You and I in the rain
Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl
I want to feel like that
I want to feel like that

Songs Lyrics
Free of Judgement
Warning, disarming, unharming
Letting you mind go free, of anger, no danger
Now it's time to listen
Having an open mind is best if you can find
a way to hold you ego so leave it behind
The information's right, you make it wrong, a lie
Judging it all with your eyes, prejudice must die
The faces and places, showing you how to be
receptive, connective, when it's time to listen
Free of judgement, Listen free of judgement
Listening free of judgement
Have an open mind
It's a bliss, oh yeah
Where We Go
It's in my life, it's in my soul
I hear the sound play high and low
We were born inside this nation
We live by this rocking scene
Living years in a love's creation
Playing music is in my genes
It's in my life, it's in my soul
I hear the sound play high and low
We have this dream, it's so extreme
We play around where we go
Now you know what we like to do
Now you feel it's inside of you
Have no fear in this destination
There's a future for me and you
kiss me good night
I read all of the lines from this book of dreams
when dark becomes light
there's action inside your own mind
in flashes that glow the stories unfold
my imagination flows in time
my imagination lovely lies
this morning the birds
are singing all the words from this book of dreams
Move Ahead
Is this real? Or is it fake?
Tomorrow kills the truth of yesterday
The time division is the best mistake
Because we're trendy or not
We're making who we are
Some changes aren't bad
We don't move back
We move ahead
Is this new? Or is it old?
We are the thoughts of time, a past we told
to generations on, a new unfold
Because we're squareheads or not
We're making who we are
Some changes aren't bad
We don't move back
We move ahead
Let's talk about today, you'll see just what I mean
The future calls for many changes
We're tied to chains of unhearted greed
We'll be fine in our lives without you
Come children you will be loved
No danger and chances to grow
Do your art and make a start
Make a new start
I must confess I love this girl
I can't deny I want this girl
But she is never alone, she's never alone
I want to ask her out tonight
But this idea is not so bright
Because she's never alone, she's never alone
I go out and maybe I'm lucky enough to find
Some time to meet you away from these guys
I'm a stupid standing in a line
But she is never alone, she's never alone
I go out and maybe I'm lucky enough to find
Some time to meet you away from these guys
I'm a stupid standing in a line
Just a stupid waiting for his time
Love disputed by many names
Just a stupid believes this game
Really Good
So then I came to this gig
with many bands that I dig
No mainstream, just indie rock bands
Variety is their best
like butterflies slow and fast
you never know what's gonna come next
ah ah ah all of the bands are really good
We have good music to please
in many concerts like these
a big surprise like making new friends
Variety is their best
like butterflies slow and fast
you never know what's gonna come next
ah ah ah all of the bands are really good
It's surprising, no denying
They want to rock the world like they say
It's inside me, let's just party
They need support so then they will stay

SONG LYRICS
They Never Sleep
They just never let me do the things I want, I cry and weep
Even if I wait the night to come about, they never sleep
A vampire and beings I've never seen
Agonizing mystery from a teenage film
Dominating masters of eternal creep, they never sleep
They just never let me go outside the door, like dogs and sheep
Even if I beg you please just let me out, I'm yours to keep
A skull on fire and beings I've never seen
Agonizing mystery from a teenage film
Dominating masters of eternal creep, they never sleep
Maybe the sun will turn and their skins will burn
Maybe the masters die and I'm free to fly
Close your eyes, close your eyes
The Legend of Bloody Mary
Candle in the hand once again you go upstairs
In the mirror you will see a future partner comes to be
Say the name you know and this loving face will show
Go on grab your luck and speak and you'll find the one you seek
How many times must I pronounce your name
I lost the count the magic is not the same
Well thirteen times they say makes perfect sense, oh Bloody Mary
I call your name so many times
Come on Bloody Mary
Beside Your Steps
Are you gonna leave me sufferring?
Are you gonna let me die in vain?
Are you sure you don't need me at all?
Am I just a thing about to fall?
When you look beside your steps
Do you see me?
When you look beside your steps
Do you see me?
Can you see me?
Head in the Clouds
Just because I'm going away from home
It doesn't mean I can relate to life, you told me
I got my head in the clouds
As I start to walk along the road
I remember you said son, just fly, you know me
I got my head in the clouds
Living is easy, they can't hurt me
I know my way through the crowd
Love is inside the ones who hold you
I got my head in the clouds
Bed, there's food and stuff all over my bed
And it's crazy 'cause we're playing instead
In this room we have a party all wet
We have fun and like “we don't care”
A delicious dinner we go fetch
Boys and girls, we have a dream that is best
The idea is we go and head west
Everybody goes free
You know we all can make it
Life will be just fine and I can face it
Living is easy, they can't hurt me
I know my way through the crowd
Love is inside the ones who hold you
I got my head in the clouds
Mother you taught me things about life
And I love you
So, we all go, explore the world
Ritchie's Party
So Ritchie called for celebration
He invited so many folks from all around
And his party was a big sensation
It was midnight when the creatures broke the sound
You got worms under your pools
You greedy nasty fools
Just count the money now
And worms coming off the ground
So Ritchie called extermination
And they found so many pests of every kind
He called in his friends for a conversation
But the ones you thought were good leave you behind
Sugar Loaf
I have memories of a princess being born
She was never here but this is what she would do
Hey sugar loaf, where is my money?
You hid it under the carpet somehow
Hey sugar loaf, you think it's funny
To hide things from other people now
She's so lovely, the queen of pranks here at home
Unexistant, I imagine things she would do
Hey sugar loaf, my easter bunny
You hid the car keys right under the couch
Hey sugar loaf, you think it's funny
We need the keys so we drive back to town
I feel a little sad, I wish that she would be true
But it's not so bad, I'm sure that she's coming soon
Reset
You told me something has been troubling your mind
You say the past is coming back, you can't hide
The way you feel about the shit you have done
Many regrets begin to torture and burn
Reset, you need a reset
So you need to calm down your heart
The regrets can surely break you apart
You can hear the inner voices that go, no,no,no,no
You just need to let go of your past
Like us all you simply did your best
Love yourself and clean up this mess, yes to success
Such an Easy Lover
It doesn't matter where my baby goes
We talk just fine
There's no complication
Laughing at whatever comes we go
We feel alright
We go across the nation
I don't go alone, got somebody to come, my easy lover
Let me sing a song about the places we know, you're gonna love it
Such an easy lover
We found a place to be
I'm so lucky to have her
And she's glad to have me
Dirty Lucy
She's been around for many years
She's been around the world in time
The ones she met were office holders
Dirty Lucy lived in crime
She lived in crime, a hot criminal
She told me all about her felonies
Divert money is the scam
The governor may use her villany
Dirty Lucy owns the man
She's the man, yes she is
