SHE'S SO LONELY
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
1.
She dances on her own
Always looks around
But you don't wanna know
You keep your eyes on the ground
She sits with all her friends
Laughing and joking
But you don't wanna know
Inside she feels broken
Chorus:
She's so lonely (x3)
Bridge:
Where are you going?
Don't walk away
She only wants to talk
But she don't know what to say
2.
She knows she's looking for trouble
'cos we'd all like to know her
But she takes a risk
All men can't be liars
I wonder what your life is like
It can't be too much fun
When everything seems to feel so cold
But your standing in the sun
Chorus
3.
I see her in this place again
Standing by herself
She looks a little lost
Like she's been left on the shelf
I wonder why she bothers
Coming here every weekend
Well, I guess it beats staying at home
With a pillow as your friend
Chorus, Bridge, Repeat 1st
verse, Chorus.

WARHEAD
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
Heat seeker, heat seeker
Moves in the dark
Heat seeking missile
Can't wait to start
Exploding on impact
That's what you do
You're a love bomb, baby
And you know it's true
Chorus:
You're a warhead
You're a warhead
Programmed to explode
How was I to know?
You're a warhead
Bridge:
You call it love
But it looks just like war
So many casualties
Just can't be ignored
2.
I don't shoot blanks
So get out of my way
Or it's pistols at dawn
What more can I say?
Trench warfare
Never keeps you clean
But you're dirty on the inside
You ain't what you seem
Chorus, Solo, Chorus, Bridge,
3.
Danger is sneaking up
Coming over that hill
Through barbed wire
Moving in for the kill
Your weapon is hidden
Kept well tucked away
But it's lethal to me
It always makes me stay
Chorus

OH, YEAH!
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
1.
I have a dream of people laughing
Never crying, always smiling
Forever trying to help each other
Because in my dream we are all like brothers
And there are no selfish deeds
And goodness is plain to see
You might say it's crazy, I know it can be done
Because the ability lies in everyone
Chorus:
Oh yeah, yeah!
Oh yeah, yeah!
2.
I want to see an improvement
Because it's time to get off this crooked track
Wake up to yourselves before time runs out
C'mon, you know what it's all about
Try and be nice to your bredren
I'm sure you want them to be nice to you
This dream I have follows me everywhere I go
Because it can be done, that's what I know
Chorus
3.
So what is your reason for being so hard?
I know you've had it tough but you're not the only one
Can't you see this ain't the way to go?
Can't you see you reap what you sow?
It's time to change your way of thinking
Because this ship we're on is rapidly sinking
Don't try and blame somebody else
The revolution starts at home, you've got to change yourself
Chorus

BOOGIE STREET
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
1.
I've had enough of this dirty old town
I'm going where the sun won't set
No more of this old life
Gonna have me a time I won't forget
I've gotta get out of here
For me there's nothing left
This place is full of weirdos
And I only want the best
Chorus:
I'm going down to Boogie Street
The sun always shines on Boogie Street
Gonna play my guitar on Boogie Street
'Cause everybody wears a smile
2.
I have achieved what I wanted
When nothing else would do
Now I must get moving
There's no time to feel blue
I can't stand still no more
I gotta move forward
Life is an adventure so take a chance
And do what you ain't never done before
Chorus
Middle 8:
It's time to change my scene
And go where I ain't never been
I don't need to be shown the way
'Cause I'm leaving and I'm leaving today
3.
I've worked hard to change my life
The bad times are over, the good times must begin
I'm gonna go and meet my destiny
There's a light at the end of the tunnel and I'm going in
Start the engine
Jump in the car
It's time to go
And it's time to go far
Chorus

SAVE THE WORLD
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
1.
I switch on my T.V.
I see the same old news
Something has got to change
Now, ain't that the truth?
Well, I get the feeling
Many of you are concerned
But positive action is what it takes
And we have all got to try to...
Chorus:
Save the World
And Change the World
Before there's nothing left
Middle 8:
Open your eyes and look around
Do you really dig what you see?
Something has got to change
So is it you or is it me?
2.
Have you really searched for answers?
Or do you live from day to day?
Never thinking about those around you
That's why our problems won't go away
Don't be scared to change your life
That's what we've all got to do
If something is not working
You've got to try something new
Chorus, Instrumental break, Chorus, Middle 8,
3.
Just keep your wits about you
And don't get taken for a ride
If you are really searching
The answers will come in time
Just remember
To be careful what you do
For one fine day all your actions
Will come right back at you
Chorus,
I said, "before there's nothing left!"

POP STAR
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
1.
It doesn't matter if
Mediocrity rules
As long as I can dance
With the rest of the fools
I've got no brains
I don't know how to write
But it's ok
As long as I can ride my bike
Chorus:
I wanna be a pop star
I wanna be a pop star
2.
My music is ordinary
But I couldn't care less
I'll inflict it on you
'cos you like the way I dress
My music sounds like rubbish
But it doesn't matter
All the kids think I'm cool
Because they don't know any better
Chorus, solo
3.
You all seem to like
the inferior noise I make
But don't listen too hard
You might find that I'm second rate
We are all living in a desert
Thanks to fools like me
But I get away with it
Because people are too blind to see
Chorus (x2)

A SONG
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
1.
I'm just sitting here trying to write this song
Because I know that it won't be long
Until I am out of here for good
I hope that it is understood
That I must take off before too long
But for now, I'm writing this song
Chorus:
I wrote this song for everyone
It's all I can do
I wrote this song for everyone
It's for me and for you
2.
Words and rhymes are spinning through my head
For I have a hunger that must be fed
Call it what you like, I don't really mind
Because I know that I'm really trying
I'm doing the best that I can
And I hope you'll understand
Chorus
3.
Give me a chance, that's what we all need
I could never be trapped by greed
I hope you all know what's going on
Try to read between the lines of this song
I'm just doing my job, that's all I can do
Sitting here, writing this song for you
Chorus

CHANGE
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
1.
Where are we going?
And where have we been?
Life is like an open door
But we've all been locked in
Now is the time to take a stand
You've got to do your best
And make something positive happen
Before there ain't nobody left
Chorus:
It's time for things to change
This is not a game
It's time for things to change
2.
We've got to get off this crooked road
You know what I'm on about
Stop treating everything like a joke
Before time is running out
Now we've got to get serious
Don't try and shift the blame
If we all tried a bit harder
This world would not be so insane
Chorus
3.
When a politician doesn't tell the truth
Why do you act so surprised?
Forget about those in power
Don't believe the lies
Religions that divide and conquer
Always telling you what to do
Turning you away from God
And doing their best to confuse
Chorus
Instrumental break
It's time for things to change
Life is not a game
It's time for things to change
Instrumental break

UK JIVE
Written by Raoul McLay
Copyright
1.
Flew in to London town
My eyes was red, my heart was down
Tired of the same old scene
But my smile was big, my conscience clean
Wanna check out my UK brethren
See why they call this place heaven
And watch what's goin' down
'cause I don't wanna wear no frown
Chorus
I'm doing that UK jive
'cause it makes me feel like I'm alive
I don't wanna go back-
The homies here don't take no crap
2.
The homies in my old patch
Are doin' the same old trash
It was time to move on
Time to sing a brand new song
We're lookin' for another way
Tryin' to bring on a brand new day
Don't get left behind
You got the power, it's in your mind
Chorus
Once upon a time I was blue
Nowhere to turn, didn't know what to do
But I hooked up with the homies in the UK
And now I've got a lot to say
So the lesson that you got to learn
Is that when you crash and burn
Take a chance to live a little
Y'know what I'm sayin', y'all!

1. The streets are dirty The dams are dry We are all thirsty There are no clouds in the sky We all need a wash We've got to get clean It is time to get ready Do you know what I mean? Chorus: Let It Rain Let It Rain Let It Rain down on me 2.

C'mon rain We need you so bad Give us the best wash That we've ever had Chorus x 2 |
SWEET LADY ANNE
Written by Raoul McLay

1. We were both far from home We reached out to each other Two lonely people in a big, wide world But my heart belonged to another We come from different places We're too far apart, You and I But I have to say, girl I want to make you mine Chorus Sweet Lady Anne (x 3) 2. I fell in love with you And your sweet ways Now I must fly home I don't know what to say I remember when you kissed me And gave me your sweet smile I'm really sorry, but I'm only here for a short while Chorus Middle 8: Sweet Lady Anne I'm in love with you Sweet Lady Anne What can I do? 3. You've got a sweet French accent I told you you were great But it's better if I leave now Before it's too late Don't be sad Sweet Lady Anne Don't be blue I'm sorry I have to go But I'll never forget you Chorus (x2)

STOP THE APATHY
Written by Peter Ferenczy and Raoul McLay
Copyright
1. The name of a people been dragged through the mud The history of a people been drenched in blood Every bullet shot pierces the heart of a nation A womb removed by dehumanisation White man don't hate me 'cos of my skin Black man he hate you but not your racism Let's not go backwards to our dirty past But forward together and this world may last
Chorus: Please stop the killing Before it becomes too late Peace and love, freedom and thought We don't want a world full of riot and hate
Why do you do it, can't you see we don't want a part of it?
2. God gave us a life, so why can't we live it? All races together in peace and cohabit Love thy neighbour and love thyself Happy together on God's green Earth Why do we break the bones of other people? A rude awakening in this place of sorrow Why do we destroy the hope for our children? Understand they're our future, don't be so stubborn
Chorus
Living together, happy on God's green Earth
3. Listen to your heart, put your hand on my shoulder Walk through this evil to a place to grow older Stop the violence, it's mass suicide And the rest of the world, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes and see before it becomes too late
