Cutting To The Chase lyrics - Brett Dennen

I won't waste your time
Beating 'round the bush like an idiom
On a wild goose chase leaving bread crumbs
Just enough to hold in your hand

I'm cutting to the chase
Picking up the pace
My baby says I'm dragging my feet too much
She drives a hard bargain with a woman's touch
She put me in my place
Make me do the best I can

Don't go walking on eggshells
Dancing 'round the subject like a disco
Cut me into pieces with an insult
Just enough to hold in your hand

Cutting to the chase
Picking up the pace
My baby says I'm dragging my feet too much
She drives a hard bargain with a woman's touch
She put me in my place
I'm doing the best I can

Cutting to the chase
Picking up the pace
My baby says I'm dragging my feet too much
She drives a hard bargain with a woman's touch
She put me in my place
Make me do the best I can

Fool In Paradise lyrics - Brett Dennen

When I talk about the weather
It's not an original sin
When I talk religion
It's a finger up in the wind, yes and
Hope is a boat that floats in the middle of the Mediterranean
When I talk about the weather
It's not an original sin

You wanna know about gumption
That grows in the cracks in the street
You wanna know about wisdom
It's falling off of the tree
Yes and faith is a caravan
Knocking on a door that's never gonna let them in
When I talk about the weather
It's not an original sin

You can fool me once
You can fool me twice
I'm just a fool in paradise

When I talk about the weather
It's not an original sin
When I talk religion
It's a finger up in the wind, yes and
Hope is a boat that floats in the middle of the Mediterranean
When I talk about the weather
It's not an original sin

You can fool me once
You can fool me twice
I'm just a fool in paradise

Row row row my boat
Gently down the stream
I am the captain and this boat is just a dream

Row row row my boat
Gently down the stream
I am the captain and this boat is just a dream

It's just a dream dream dream
Just a dream
Just a dream dream dream

And I'm a fool in paradise
I'm a fool in paradise
I'm a fool in paradise
I'm a fool in paradise

Fool me once
Fool me twice
I'm just a fool in paradise

Yeah you can fool me once
Fool me twice
Fool in paradise

Fool me once
Fool me twice
Fool in paradise

Fool me once
Fool me twice
Fool in paradise

Fool me once
Fool me twice
Fool in paradise

Hard Times (Come Again No More) lyrics - Brett Dennen

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh hard times, come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days have you lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times, come again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty and music, bright and gay
There are frail forms fainting by the door
Though their voices are silent, their haunting looks will stay
Oh hard times, come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days have you lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times, come again no more
Mhmm hard times, come again no more

Life Is Confusing lyrics - Brett Dennen

Don't think I'll see you anymore
Least not the way I saw you before
We're caught up in traffic, the landscape changed
Life is confusing and people are insane

Can we be happy for a while?
Can we just sit here, shut up and smile?
Been talking for hours
Forgot what we're saying
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane
Yeah, oh, hm, oh

I wish that I could see you smile
Wish we could forget ourselves for a while
If your heart is wild
Or if it's been tamed, honey
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane
Yeah, oh, hm, oh

Oh, hm, oh
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane

Seagull lyrics - Brett Dennen

Seagull flying far away from the sea
You don't look that lost to me
Are you trying
Trying to get away
From where you're meant to be?

Seagull flying over my head out of my reach
I wish I could take that leap
Is there something
I need to know
That only you can teach?

Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
When you fly?

Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
When you fly?

Seagull flying far away from the sea
You don't look that lost to me
Are you trying
Trying to get away
From where you're meant to be?

Seagull flying far away from the sea

The Ballad Of Lily And Tres lyrics - Brett Dennen

Here come a song about star crossed lovers
Named Lily and Tres
Two kids in the barrio
Via east LA
Lily always looked at him like a brother
'Til one day something changed
He started acting all moonstruck
You know the movie with young Nick Cage

Well one love was the song she played
In her bedroom when she took him all the way
With a Princess Bride poster on the wall
And her parents at the end of the hall
"Not even death can stop true love
It only delays it for a while"

"I get crushes sometimes
But none of them ever lasted
I miss you all the time
And I'm smoking on your ashes
Baby you and I are soul mates
From the same place
That doesn't happen every day"

Lily always knew that she wanted his baby
And they tried and tried
Even through all the chemo
Oh my my
She caught a feeling that she remembered
In her father's Dodger blue
Laying on his lap looking up at the man
He turned into

Well young love is life and death
And that's what it was 'til his very last breath
And a light flashed above the bed
With the rest of her life ahead
"Not even death can stop true love
It only delays it for a while"

"I get crushes sometimes
But none of them ever lasted
I miss you all the time
And I'm smoking on your ashes
Baby you and I are soul mates
From the same place
That doesn't happen every day"

This is the story 'bout star crossed lovers
Named Lily and Tres
Cupid hit the bullseye
Somewhere in east LA

This Is Going To Be The Year lyrics - Brett Dennen

This is gonna be the year
Something good is happening here
I'm gonna make it true
Lord knows I'm overdue

This is gonna be the year
Heaven above as my witness, can I get a witness?
This is gonna be the year
Whisper "it's all right" in my ear

So dance me to the end of the night
Til a new year will shine
A new year will shine
On you tomorrow
When you open your eyes
A new year will shine
A new year will shine

And you'll throw your arms around me
And you'll kiss me like you never
Kissed me before
My dear
This is gonna be the year

The time that you spend in love
Is never really long enough
Pick you up and spin you round
We'll put the hard times behind us now

This is gonna be the year
It's been a long time a coming, long time a coming
Rage against the weary eyes
A little bit bolder and a little more wise

So dance me to the end of the night
Til a new year will shine
A new year will shine
On you tomorrow
When you open your eyes
A new year will shine
A new year will shine

And you'll throw your arms around me
And you'll kiss me like you never
Kissed me before
My dear
It's gonna be the year

All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry
Nothing to fear

All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry
Nothing to fear

All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry
Nothing to fear

All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry
Nothing to fear

All that you wanted is coming this year
No need to hurry
Nothing to fear

All that you wanted is coming this year

When That Evening Sun Goes Down lyrics - Brett Dennen

(originally by Van Morrison)
(from "The Five Year Engagement" soundtrack)

I want you, be around
When that evening sun goes down
I want you, be around
Keep my both feet on the ground
When that evening sun goes down

I want you, understand
Little girl, take me by my hand
I want you, understand
I wanna be your loving man
When that evening sun goes down

If it's nice, we'll go for a walk
And stroll in the clear moonlight
Sing a song, won't take long
Everything gonna be alright

And I wanna hold you oh so near
Keep you darling from all fear
I wanna hold you oh so near
Nibble on your little ear
When that evening sun goes down (Alright)

If it's nice, go for a walk
Stroll in the clear moonlight
Sing a song, won't take long
Everything gonna be alright

And I wanna hold you oh so near
Keep you darling from all fear
I wanna hold you oh so near
Nibble on your little ear
When that evening sun goes down
When that evening sun goes down
When that evening sun goes down
When that evening sun goes down

When The War Comes Home lyrics - Brett Dennen

When they come for you, how will you let them take you?
Are you gonna let them break you?
When they come for you.
'Cause all I was told, and from fear and greed it grew.
And you can tell it 'til the whole world believes you,
But that don't make it true.

You can sit around and wait for the world to change its ways,
You got lucky to live without it.
But there will be no place to hide,
When you're on the losing side.
When the war comes home, what will you do about it?

When you see the tanks come to the towns you live in,
And the bullets, they come rippin' through your front door,
And you're face to face with tyrants killing tyrants,
And children killing children,
Will you know the war?

You can sit around and wait for the world to change its ways,
You got lucky to live without it.
But there will be no place to hide,
When you're on the losing side.
When the war comes home, what will you do about it?

What will you do? [x4]

When the dust clears,
And the profiteers behind closed curtains,
Send their soldiers to collect their fortunes,
From the holes in your chest.
Will they claim the sky and name it after their kingdoms?
The merchants of machine guns.
Who will win the West?

You can sit around and wait for the world to change its ways,
You got lucky to live without it.
But you can't hide from the shooting,
When you're on the side that's losing.
When the war comes home, what will you do about it?

What will you do? [x4]

And I know your spell I'm under

And you know my little secret
Still I think that I got something on you

Wild Child lyrics - Brett Dennen

I am a wild child, yes I am
I love the country and I
I wanna run free and I
Don't wanna live up to anyone's plan
I wanna feel the good vibes and I
Wanna feel the sunshine with you,

Get me on the dancefloor
Pull me a little closer

Wanna feel the sunshine with you,

You Make It Easy lyrics - Brett Dennen

I've been down on love for so long
My bad luck seems to be gone

Yeah something it happens
Every time you come around
You make me feel like dancing
So please stay around

Hey baby come close to me
Lovin' you comes so naturally
Stay baby stay here with me 
'Cause you make it easy

Stay with me fourth of Ju Li Oh!

You can wear them in your hair
We'll drink margaritas
And go dancing in the square

Stay baby stay here with me

You make me feel like dancing

Stay baby stay here with me 
'Cause you make it easy
Yeah you make it easy

Only Want You lyrics - Brett Dennen

Listen to the river
Does it make you wonder
How anything could ever stand still?

First lightning then thunder, thunder.
A kiss in the rain, love
Feel the thrill.

[Сhorus:]
I only want you
I only want you
I want what we had.

I only want you
I only want you
It's as simple as that.

Run to the forest
You'll find some shelter.

Remember how we fell in love so sweet?

You said watch your step
Walk softer softer
'Cause dreams are growing beneath our feet.

[Сhorus:]
I only want you
I only want you
I want what we had.

I only want you
I only want you
Can we get it back?

I only want you
I only want you
I want what we had.

I only want you
I only want you
It's as simple as that.

Yours is the best love,
It's the best love.
So pure and so true.

Our love will lift us
Our love will lift us.
Only love, my darling.
Only you.

When I do not feel inspired
I can only speak my heart.

I'm sitting in the middle of a fire, fire
And I can't even catch a spark.

[Сhorus:]
I only want you
I only want you
I want what we had.

I only want you
I only want you
Can we get it back?

I only want you
I only want you
I want what we had.

I only want you
I only want you
It's as simple as that.

When We Were Young lyrics - Brett Dennen

Remember when we were young
We felt like the luckiest ones
Nothing to worry about
The whole world was a hand-me-down

It's hard to be different
It's even harder when you wanna fit in
High school was a catastrophe
It was a failure factory

Turn it up, turn it up
Turn up your radio loud
Don't forget where you come from
It's too soon to be proud

Remember when
We... were... young
Remember when
We... were... young

Remember when we were broke
Money would come and go
The whole world is a hand-me-down
So you gotta where it proud

Whenever I reminisce
I know that the greatest risk
Is giving up the fun for pay
I don't want to live that way

Oh tear it up, tear it up
Tear up that page
I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna act my age

Remember when, we were young

Turn it up, turn it up
Turn up your radio loud
Don't forget where you come from
It's too soon to be proud

Remember when, we were young

Remember when, we were young

Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhh oh oh ohhhhh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oooohhh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh ohhhhh

Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhh oh oh ohhhhh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oooohhh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh ohhhhh

How will I know if I don't ask why
I won't let it pass me by
I see my life in a faded sky
Slippin away, ayyyy ayyyyyy

Tear it up, tear it up
Tear out that page
I don't wanna grow up
Don't wanna act my age

Remember when, we were young

Turn it up, turn it up
Turn up your radio loud
Don't forget where you come from
It's too soon to be proud

Remember when, we were young
Remember when, we were young

Smoke And Mirrors lyrics - Brett Dennen

I know what you're thinking,
You're thinking about leaving, yeah, 
you're thinking about leaving..
You wonder what you're missing.
You don't see me, yeah you're looking right through me. 
And please, be wise, it's easy to be fooled by your own eyes baby, your eyes..

Don't let smoke and mirrors make it crowded,
The truth you cannot see is hard to find. 
If you think you're better off without me...
Remember what we have before you leave it all behind.

Love is blind when it's new-your eyes play tricks on you, 
yeah, your heart plays tricks on you.
Soon, your dream gets played out.
Baby it's real now, yeah it's real now, the pain we show, 
think about how much it makes me hurt baby, be sure.

Don't let smoke and mirrors make it crowded,
The truth you cannot see is hard to find. 
If you think you're better off without me... 
remember what we have before you leave it all behind.

Don't Mess With Karma lyrics - Brett Dennen

Didn't anybody tell ya?
Don't go messing with karma
It'll come around
Didn't anybody tell ya?
Don't go messing with karma
It'll come around

Old man picking flowers for a funeral
Street choir's singing hallelujah
They'll smile through the pain
There ain't no wrong way to pray
Another sad eye looking for a laughter
Another kid growing up a little faster
You want someone to trust you, well you've got to be true

Didn't anybody tell ya?
Don't forget that love is all you came here for
Not anything less, need I say more?
Need I say more?
Don't forget that love is all you came here for
Not anything less, need I say more?
Need I say more?

Didn't anybody tell ya?
Don't go messing with karma (it'll come around)

True love is the right of every human
Who are we to take away the union?
You want something for yourself
Give it to someone else
Go around using God as a reason
What if all that you believed in
And what you thought was right turned out to be just a lie?

Didn't anybody tell ya?
Don't forget that love is all you came here for
Not anything less, need I say more?
Need I say more?
Love is all you came here for
Not anything less, need I say more?
Need I say more?

Don't forget that love is all you came here for
Not anything less, need I say more?
Need I say more?
Love is all you came here for
Not anything less, need I say more?
Need I say more?

Love is all you came here for
Not anything less, need I say more?
Need I say more?

Out Of My Head lyrics - Brett Dennen

Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my head now.
Get outta my head, get into my heart.
Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my now.
Get outta my head, get into my heart.

Without you I do believe I'm homeless and without,
And without you, it's true. I'm out of focus.
Got go now, I know now if I can can't live with you I will

Without me you'll be stuck in a pattern and without me, you'll see
It doesn't matter who you're made at
I've had that happen and I won't have that happen anymore.

Why don't it go boom boom boom
Give me love, give me love, give me love now.
Boom Boom Boom
Any you get it back and you get it back

Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my head, head now.
Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my no, get into my heart.
Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my head, head now.
Get outta of my head, outta my head, outta my no, get into my heart.

Get into my heart

Thought I'd changed inside,
so I went up into the mountains and climbed.
I got away from all the static and the sadness.
I won't be caught up in that anymore

Why don't it go, boom boom boom
Give me love, give me love, give me love now.
Boom boom boom.
And you get it back, and you get it.
Boom boom boom
Give me love, give me love, give me love now.
Boom Boom Boom
And you get it back, and you get it.

Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my head now.
Get outta my head, get into my heart.
Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my now.
Get outta my head, get into my heart.

Outta my head, outta my head
Out of my head, no
Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my head, head
Get outta of my head, no.
Get outta my head, no.

Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my head now.
Get outta my head, get into my heart.
Get outta my head, outta my head, outta my now.
Get outta my head, get into my heart.
