TRICKERY- Lilith Lane
It’s not trickery
It’s just the way things are
There’s no trickery here
Just an open heart
Hold steady
Here comes a ride
Here comes a piece of what’s on my mind
You and I coulda been something
But I’m married to my song
Nobody could be just like them
But you came in pretty strong
There’s no trickery
Just the way I am
No trickery here
No scam
Just me and my piano
And sometimes a guitar
You don’t have to listen
I understand
There’s no trickery
No fuss
No trickery here
Just us
Just me and myself, me and myself
Where did my friends
Where did my good friends go?
Me and myself
Me and myself
Me and myself
Me and myself alone
There’s no trickery
Just divine
No trickery here
I ain’t got time

CROW- Lilith Lane
Oh wah wild
Speaking to the other side
Crow he wait, he’s telling me to stay
Telling me just the way life is
A call from mum, she says “there’s been a storm”
She’s tellin' me just the way life is
I rest my head, on the shoulder of a good friend
And every now and then we trade places
Has anybody out there got the answers?
Does anybody care anyway?
Crow sit tight he’s telling me it’s all just fine
But you’d best better leave it all alone
Cos there’s something curled up
In that nice warm nook
And you’d best better listen for that hiss
Gonna take you in the dark of night
Gonna show you a sweet delight
Could this be the best we’ve ever had?
Oh wah wild
Speaking through the other side
You’re gonna tell me what’s on your mind
I’m gonna take you on a full moon ride
Could this be the best we’ve ever had?
I sit here wait. Maybe it’s too late,
Sometimes I tell you much too much
World under my fingertips
I got no grip
World under my fingertips
Away it slip
World under my fingertips
Away it slip
Oh, new day, crow off & away
& this bed is gonna make a witch outta me
Crow wah wild, he’s carving up the sky saying
He’s saying “That’s just, the way life is”
World under my fingertips
I got no grip
World under my fingertips
Away it slip
World under my fingertips
Hold up yeah, I got no grip
World under your fingertips
Away she slip
World under your fingertips
Away she slip
Oh wah wild
Speaking from the other side
World under my fingertips
I got no grip
World under my fingertips
Away it slip
World under your fingertips
Away she slip
World under my fingertips
I got no grip

ASTRO (Come here)- Lilith Lane
You’d make a good Baker
Got good hands
And like to rise with the sun
Wake me up early
cos I like to hear the birds sing
Warm you up with the colours of the dawn
Come here babe
You would make a good songster
Make my heart sing loud and strong
You make me hear things
Nobody else can
Sing to me baby
It warms my soul
Come here babe
Come here babe
You would make a good doctor
You kinda mend all my wounds
Just one look at you and I feel better
Just one kiss and I’m all fixed up
Come here babe
Come here babe
When I hold you everything is alright
When I hold you it’s all fine, so fine
You could do just about anything
Build me a rocket
Take me to the moon
You’d tell me stories on the way to where the stars live
But your too busy being my great love
Come here babe
When I hold you everything is alright
When I hold you it’s all fine, just fine
My astro guy

REASON- Lilith Lane
I’ve got reason
To check over my shoulder now and then
Says he needs me
Says he really wants me back
I ran away from home
To really check my head
Now I’m sure what’s wrong
I’m not going back
I’ve got reasons
you may not believe them
I’ve got reason
To quicken my pace
This one’s for the ones who get away
This one’s for the ones who wanna leave but they just can’t do it
Why do you stay? It’s complicated
I don’t feel safe sometimes, but it’s worse when I’m gone
Sometimes the good’s so good I can forget about the bad
Sometimes the bad is so bad I just don’t think I’ll make it out
He’s hurting , So he hurts her too
She’s hurting “you know you had it coming, had it comin to ya
you know I didn’t mean but you made me do it
just let it go”
Hugs & bruises, love confused and unjust
Behind closed doors
Some things are different
Behind closed doors
Some things you may not notice
I hear you girl, I see you loud
Even though you can’t say
I speak your language
I know your shame
This one’s for the ones who try to leave
This one’s for the ones who aren’t believed
The cops can’t do a thing when he’s in your bed (got a good grip around your neck)
The cops can’t do much when he’s there then gone (face up against your car window)
The cops can’t do a thing when he following you down the street
The cops can’t do much even with a DVO
I’ve got reasons, you may not believe them
I’ve got reason, to quicken my pace
This one’s for the ones who live in fear
This one’s for the kids pulling at your sleeve
This one’s for the ones who have to stay
This one’s for the ones who never get away
I’ve got reason,
To check over my shoulder now and then
Says he needs me
Says he really wants me back
Hugs & bruises, love confused and unjust
Get yourself some help, buddy i just wanna sleep at night

Love in All Keys

LOVE IN ALL KEYS- Lilith Lane
My first love was in the key of ‘C’
All white notes, oh so naïve
The sharps hadn’t crept in yet
And the elephant hadn’t jumped off the ivories
My first love in the key of ‘C’
I’d call up ‘hey it’s me’
We’d play out front of my Grandma’s house
Our first kiss under the trees
Gee, we had a real sweet time
Do, La, Do, Sol, Do, La, Do, Re
‘D’ was the key of my next love
‘D’ was the key of my next love
Like kings and queens on speed
Tearing up the streets
He threw a few sharps in that one
My ‘D’ love turned a corner quick
F#* sharp ebony caught on things
He gave me goosebumps, few lumps
and skipped off in a dream
We had a theme park ride
My true love is in all keys
A pure love, a love supreme
The whole damn world is singing
You can hear it between the trees
And the colours all seem so bright
They’ll jump up and take a bite
My true love is in all things
It knows no bounds and holds no hostages
It makes time, takes time, suspends our disbelief
It keeps you warm at night
Never judges or demeans
True love is in all keys
A pure love, a love supreme
The whole damn world is singing
You can hear it between the trees
And the colours all seem so bright
They’ll jump up and take a bite

KING of LOVING ARMS (Mikey’s song)
I see you now
You’re everywhere and nowhere all at once
I hear you now
All around me like
A new old song
King of loving charms
King of breakin’ hearts
Why’d you have to leave us
So soon
King of all the fun
King of makin’ a laugh out of
Just about Just about
Anything
Happiest I’ve ever seen ya
Is hangin’ with your sisters
After a show
Last time we were hangin’ out
Jokes and hugs all round
And somewhere you gotta be
But you just wanna watch dumb TV
A re-run stream
It may not make much difference
But I’ll hold you til your cup fills up
I’ll see you next time
Don’t know when that might be
the King of Loving arms
Happiest I’ve ever seen ya
Is hangin’ with your sisters
After a show
Didn’t think I’d have to wait so long
So long, so long

NO MORE- Lilith Lane
Woke up and the world had changed
Nothin would be the same
Except the way I feel about you
No more sad
No more tears
I’m so glad
I have you near
Here in my loving arms
Here with my healing heart
You make life it seem much easier
You make all the bad shit seem to disappear
Here in my loving arms
Here with my healing heart
Sometimes you get all you want without asking
Sometimes life just gets you what you need
Sometimes life is cruel, it’s just nasty
But you remind me when I forget to dream
Here in my loving arms
Wish it coulda been a bit longer
Sometimes you get all you want without asking
Sometimes life just gets you what you need
Sometimes life is cruel, it’s just nasty
Sometimes it’s just a little mean
You make life it seem much easier
You make all the bad shit seem to disappear

MAKEPEACE ISLAND- Lilith Lane
Time’s gonna work in all favours
Maybe someday you’ll see
I’m gonna paddle my boat to Makepeace Island
Whilst you’re hanging with sheep
On my way to Makepeace Island
Through the mangroves and reeds
I paddle my boat past Sheep Island
Just my old self and me
Spent my time on Sheep Island
It’s a little bit noisy with those pesky minors
It’s alright for a picnic or a Sunday arvo
But not someplace you should live
I see geckos, drongos, brush turkeys
Hey, I think that’s wild geese
I paddle my boat around Makepeace Island
My good self and me
There’s mangoes, fruit trees it’s warm and inviting
A place to just be
Bet they’re talking on Sheep Island
With the butcherbirds and the pee-wees
Where they feast on hurting and clambering higher
With their ‘friends’ under feet
Some like to rock a boat
Just to float their own
I’ll keep steady on
Whilst they’re making waves
As land my boat on Makepeace Island
My spirit it leaps
I step onto it’s heart-shape
I feel it’s vibrance
There’s love under feet
When you’re ready for Makepeace Island
Come and play with me
We’ll eat mangoes
Climb fruit trees and laugh til we’re crying
You won’t want to leave
If you want to come to Makepeace Island
Come visit me……Won’t come play with me… Won’t you come visit me……

RAIN- Black Pony Express (Greg Bukshteyn & Justin Cusack)
Yeah I walk it like the rain
It’s dreamy like the sun
Yeah I walk with whats-her-name
And we run and run
Was I overcome
Was I overcome
By the rain, the rain
Yeah in the corner of the room
When there ain’t noone around
Yeah a long black cloud was planned
A scream without a sound
Was I overcome
Was I overcome
By the rain, rain
Well it’s a stumbling soft sound
The way you pressed and fell about
On that old seventies brown couch
Oh it slept without a sound
Was I overcome
Was I overcome
By the rain, by the rain
