There's No You - W Ross Campbell (SOCAN) Verse I There's no You in my life, there's no We Every day there's too much I---a t night there's only me It's time to look for things that make Life Sweet I need that Spark of Human Spirit---that Animal Heat To make me Complete Verse II There's no Sharing in my life, there's no splits There are no reciprocating Mutual Benefits It's time to look for someone who can help me pull through I need some Real Stimulation---it's long overdue My life has No You Verse I II There's no You in my life, there's no Us No Common Past to Laugh about, no Future to Discuss It's time to change my life, those old patterns just won't do I need some Human Interaction---it's long overdue My life has No You

Sandra - W Ross Campbell (intro) What you sayin', Sandra? Don't shove that bit at me Come back 'n' be my woman like you used to be What you sayin', Sandra?

You know I never thought unkindly of you even when you had no use for me Sandra, Please stop sending me quotations from some book you've read There's no use in holding grudges-- We only had to do what had to be Stop me if I'm wrong, but I'm sad to say our Golden Day is over Vs II Sandra, I still love to hear the fog horns bounce round Horseshoe Bay Every time I take a ferry-- I think one day I'll walk up to your door Sandra, I remember making love to you in Stanley Park While the sun shone off the ocean-- we used to sit for hours by the shore But that was long ago and I'm sad to say our Golden Day is over (recitation) But that was long ago and I'm sad to say our Golden Day is over (repeat intro)

Dance On The Breeze - W Ross Campbell It's the particular way you move your hands when you're talking to me It's the magical glint in your blue eyes when you smile It's your articulate mind & the way you look when you're in a book It's the wonderful way that you let life happen It's the affectionate touch of your hand on my arm of an evening Your ephemeral glance & your quick wit which give me this feeling Your elegant feet & the way they move when you're in a groove It's the wonderful way that you let life happen While we're making other plans It's the wonderful way that you let life happen (chor) You're the reason I breathe. You are the reason I can dance on the breeze It's you who I want to please You are the only reason I can dance on the breeze. It's your rhythmical phrase & your straight-on gaze when you're telling a joke Your generous soul when you host your friends Or when you give me a stroke The way you accept certain things about me that I can't change It's the wonderful way that you let life happen The far away look that you get in your eye when you talk about Spain Your lyrical heart and that Gypsy cry and your steel-trap brain The musical note that you give your voice when you're having a laugh It's your "doctor whistle" when you're by yourself, running a bath (repeat chor) An olive a day keeps the doctor away --- so you said to me You taught me the Mediterranean way (That's where we'd like to be) Life for me began anew when I met you One ripe olive at a time One ripe olive at a time (repeat chor)

News Addiction Turn It Off Back in the days of newspapers, Media Guru Marshall Mcluhan said that one slipped into one's morning newspaper as into a warm bath. You could read the front page, or skim the headlines, or just go right to your favourite section. It was, he said, a relatively "cool" medium. Now we have much "hotter" mediums bombarding us relentlessly with factoids, infomercials and come-ons. It's no wonder that we sometimes just feel the need to call out over the cacophony: "Turn It Off!"

Lyrics SUPER CIRCUIT MAN Give My Heart To You I lead a half-life in No-man's Land, I live between the walls My mind has many mirrors and my house is full of halls And I am very interested in what it is you do And I would be prepared, My Dear, to give my heart to you Yes, I wanna give my heart to you (rep) Now you were born in riches and I was born in rags And up to now we've always been in completely different bags But here is where the change comes, from now on we'll be thick Give me just your smile, Babe, and I will give you dick I wanna give my heart to you (rep) We have an agreement that we'll never go to church But I know where I'd stand if you left me in the lurch I'd curl up like a jellyfish and that would be my end Keep me from that fate, Babe, and I will be your friend I wanna give my heart to you (rep) Entre Chien et Loup Entre chien et loup, a t the tail-end of the day Before the lamp is lit, j ust as the sun has slipped away We lie together here and now-- I so love the very touch of you This is our favourite quiet time w hen our love constantly renews So hold me while the world is turning blue Juste entre chien et loup Entre chien et loup, e n anglais we call it dusk As we let the fading light gently encompass us Wanting you feels so right as our hearts & minds entwine The world's concerns now fade away As we forget life's frantic pantomime So kiss me while the world is turning blue Juste entre chien et loup Entre chien et loup, we see ourselves that way Ever faithful friends, affectionate & here to stay But also wild & free when the moon comes shining through A boundless passion flows through us I speak your name & howl at your beauty too 'N' if there ain't no cure, then let's just try to make do Et faire l'amour juste entre chien et loup Entre chien et loup, a la fin de la journee Avant d'allumer la lampe, a pres que le soleil s'est retire On s'allonge ensemble, j'adore tellement ton toucher C'est notre moment de serenite Quand notre amour est renouvele Embrasse-moi pendant que le monde tourne au bleu et au flou J uste entre chien et loup So love me while the world turns hazy & blue Ma Cherie, juste entre chien et loup The Lie "Why, tell me why won't you take me along?" I heard a young man call He was speaking to a woman in a taxi-cab 'N' for a minute she said nothing at all But the woman wasn't crying, just shaking her head You could tell she was saying goodbye Then she turned and she looked right into his face And said "You never should have told me no lie!" (chorus) For a lie is for someone you don't really know Or for whom you just don't care Any lover of mine's gotta tell me the truth If he lies, I don't wanna be there Yes a lie is for a stranger or an enemy Or a person who's putting you on But you lied to the woman who was sharing your bed And for that I'll be moving along II Well the man said "Baby, you can't leave now I don't know what I'd do I only lied for the sake of our love And I really do love you!" But the woman smiled hard and tapped on the glass And the taxi started rolling away She said "What kind of fool do you take me for? That's a stupid thing to say." (repeat chorus) Would you lie to your brother when he's counting on you Or your friend who's standing by? You don't lie to your helper, or your Mother who taught you not to lie You wouldn't lie to a blind man or a person who'd helped you to see So why in the name of Sweet Love, Babe, did you have to lie to me? (repeat chorus) My Cup Runneth Over My Cup Runneth Over, I've got the love of a woman I couldn't really ask for much more She & I see eye to eye and there's a child running round on the floor I walk in the door from the outside world Where the scene's getting bleaker each day My kid lights up and says "What's new, Daddy?" and I just have to smile and say (chorus) My Cup Runneth Over When you look at me, it warms my heart up so My Cup Runneth Over Just like the sun coming up, you make me feel ready to go My Cup Runneth Over I've got the love that you give to help me stay on track My Cup Runneth Over I'd have nothing if I didn't have you I'm gonna give you all of my love back (rep) II Oh the way the world turns Sometimes I wish I was dead I toss and I turn cuz I can't sleep With all my worries running round my head I'm crying inside cuz I can't face saying goodbye to my youth Then all of a suddon there's something you do That brings me back to the truth (repeat chorus) Dance On The Breeze It's the particular way you move your hands when you're talking to me It's the magical glint in your blue eyes when you smile It's your articulate mind & the way you look when you're in a book It's the wonderful way that you let life happen It's the affectionate touch of your hand on my arm of an evening Your ephemeral glance & your quick wit which give me this feeling Your elegant feet & the way they move when you're in a groove It's the wonderful way that you let life happen While we're making other plans It's the wonderful way that you let life happen (chorus) You're the reason I breathe. You are the reason I can dance on the breeze It's you who I want to please You are the only reason I can dance on the breeze. II It's your rhythmical phrase & your straight-on gaze When you 're telling a joke Your generous soul when you host your friends Or when you give me a stroke The way you accept certain things about me that I can't change It's the wonderful way that you let life happen The far away look that you get in your eye when you talk about Spain Your lyrical heart and that Gyosy cry and your steel-trap brain The musical note that you give your voice when you're having a laugh It's your "doctor whistle" when you're by yourself, running a bath (repeat chorus) III An olive a day keeps the doctor away--so you said to me You taught me the Mediterranean way (That's where we'd like to be) Life for me began anew when I met you One ripe olive at a time (repeat) (repeat chorus) Whacha Doin' To Me, Video? Whacha Doin' To Me, Video? You make me into something else I stretch, I preen, I can move, if you know what I mean Baow Baow Baow Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Bop Do-dit! (rep) Whacha Doin' To Me, Video? You make me turn the other cheek I slide, I jump, you can hear me in the night--I go bump Baow Baow Baow Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Bop Do-dit! (rep) Whacha Doin' To Me, Video? You swing me to and fro I strut, I prance, give me time and I'll learn how to dance Baow Baow Baow Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Bop Do-dit! (rep) Must You Use The Word "Love"? Must you use the word "Love"? I know you're fond of me You know I think the world of you But when you use the word "Love" The time confuses me And I forget I'm only passing through Must you always say "We"? As though we'll never part As though I'll never say goodbye And must I know when I leave That you'll be torn apart? Must you set yourself up just to cry? Please don't misunderstand me It's not that I don't feel That surge of warmth when you come in That signals something real Come and lie down by my side And put your lips to mine And whisper to me what you're thinking of But don't be shocked if I say When you've been whispering Darling, must you use the word "Love"? Bad Cop Song There's a rotten apple in every platoon 'N' our police department in Saskatoon's g ot a son-of-a-bitch He'll break the laws of human rights 'N bust some head on a summer's night j ust to scratch his itch He's riding on a psychopathic power trip He's going for the Macho Moron championship So watch out for this dangerous psych and Thank God every cop's not like Bad Cop, John Bad Cop Now, some cops work an 8 hour day 'N' next to plumbers they get lousy pay--don't get no tips So if you're on the street downtown Be careful you don't get shaken down just for kicks If the Police Commission knew how John behaves every day They'd cut off all his buttons & take his badge away So watch out for this dangerous psych and Thank God every cop's not like John Bad Cop It seems to me there's nothing just About hunting 'round for teens to bust--don't it make you sad? This kind of guy should never be Put in a position of authority--he'll abuse it bad Each time we let a nut like him walk around as a cop He'll mess up people's lives 'n' then the shit won't stop Friends, many of you might ask yourselves "What can I do when faced with this kind of injustice?" Well, there' s only one answer: Not a damn thing! But even though we may feel powerless as individuals There are certain universal principles Which come to bear on scenes like this and give us hope For while a Bad Cop'll never feel remorse About illegal searches & the use of force We can just let Karma take it's course I'm talking about Karma, in it's own good time Sandra What you saying, Sandra? Don't shove that shit at me Come back 'n' be my woman l ike you used to be Sandra, are you never gonna l et me off the hook, my friend? You know I never thought unkindly of you e ven when you had no use for me Sandra, Please stop sending me quotations f rom some book you've read There's no use in holding grudges-- We only had to do what had to be Stop me if I'm wrong, but I'm sad to say o ur Gold en Day is over Sandra, I still love to hear the fog horns Bounce round Horseshoe Bay Every time I take a ferry-- I think some day I'll walk up to your door Sandra, I remember m aking love to you i n Stanley Park While the sun shone off the ocean--w e used to sit for hours by the shore But that was long ago and I'm sad to say o ur Golden Day is over (recitation) But that was long ago and I'm sad to say o ur Golden Day is over (repeat intro)

Pop Rock The Lie The idea for this song came from overhearing a Woman's Sudden Goodbye to her lover who lied to her. He tries to explain that he only lied "for the sake off our love", but she replies "What kind of fool do you take me for?" and drives away, never to see him again. Another dude's hard lesson!
