"TROUBLE COMES"
(Fenton) SESAC
Trouble comes with full frequency
I pick you up as she’s leaving me
Trouble comes, begging cigarettes
Not now sweet thing
I’ve got no more left
Sometimes we’re like true love side by side in the fire
Watching the smoke rise as our souls divide in the air
Trouble comes to her solemn chair
Same old feeling that there’s someone there
Trouble comes, telling everyone
The morning folks know trouble follows wherever I go
Sometimes we’re like true love side by side in the fire
Watching the smoke rise as our souls divide in the air
(Fenton) SESAC

Trouble comes to her solemn chair
Same old feeling that there’s someone there
Trouble comes, telling everyone
The morning folks know trouble follows wherever I go
Sometimes we’re like true love side by side in the fire
Watching the smoke rise as our souls divide in the air
"AUTUMN SWEET"
(Fenton) SESAC
My baby daughter, she’s so far from me
I still love your Mama, you’re my family tree
I felt I was sinking I felt the lonely man
You’re too young to remember how it all began
There were times that we tried just to keep our love alive
My Autumn Sweet
Fly baby daughter, we’ve got a way to go
Go and tell your Mama I’m reading her Thoreau
I was always welcome in a room without a view
But I feel a change is coming
Your Mama feels it too
There were times I recall when we really had it all

"OVER N OVER"
(Fenton/Johnson) SESAC/ASCAP
Is there no cure for the malady that makes me sore
Known political ties linking up to those that you despise
Over and Over the same old ground
We drink it like wine I ain’t ever looking down
Another side, telling me the thoughts that make it right
When things aint what they seem
It leaves no choice to
Fade with dignity
Over and Over the same old ground
We drink it like wine I aint ever looking down
Man will always remain here
Stranded between
What he wants and what he should be

"SLEEP"
(Fenton) SESAC
A momentary lapse of concentration
On the anniversary well worn cuddle couch
I was catching words that floated on the breeze
The techno died I disagreed watched the neon lighting through the front door
I gotta get some sleep
Suffering the social bends as doubtful eyes descend
On elegance making plans again
I was pinning hope
Everybody spoke I heard the joke
Abused myself
Eyes sanguine
Time to blow this scene
I gotta get some sleep
Deny the truth to change the mood
Like the mystical and the magic spoon
Well aware of champagne and its bliss
Awkward candlelight shedding features dim
Eyes half open wandering
Lungs surprised synchronized
Like my restless feet
Gotta get some sleep
I’m on the midnight wave
Should be counting sheep now
Sleep across the room and I roll over and I roll into you

"I'M NOT READY FOR YOU"
(Fenton) SESAC
Last fall I left a heart so true
Let her pass by me just like a fool
From her arms I fled
She never knew why
Once I tried to tell her she started to cry
Suddenly life flows its own way
Hey my love
Calling angels above
Tell them I’m not ready for you
I kept running for nearly seven days
Then she stopped calling
That’s the price that paid
Suddenly life flows its own way
Hey my love
Calling angels above
Tell them I’m not ready for you
(Fenton) SESAC

"LIGHTNING"
(Fenton) SESAC
Home, there’s always someone else’s game to play
Home, all the roads I rode to get to you
And now we don’t have to hide, lightning’s got the sky
Home, in two rooms on the second floor
Home, all I need is right inside your door
On destiny we’ll ride count the costs and watch the world fly by
Home we don’t have to hide, we don’t have to hide
Lightning’s got the sky

"LOVE ONLY LIES HALF NAKED NEXT TO ME"
(Fenton) SESAC
I live in half a house drive half a car in half a room
There’s half a book to read
I’ve seen half of what I need to see
Estimating half my life was Free
I spent so much time in middle ground
Weeping over what’s going down
Love only lies half naked next to me
Half my clothes are fading out
My best years gone the rest continuing
Half assed climbing the bedroom wall
The bruising hurts it sure is a state I’m in
As the day will surely pass
If I don’t change I’m not gonna last
Love Only lies half naked next to me
Faith is only slightly known
When this dream turns to stone
Will the dust coat my eyes
Like you always said it would, bitter moon I say
I’m hotter than a fireside
This old feeling I can’t hide
Love Only lies half naked next to me

"SLOW DOWN DIXIE"
(Fenton) SESAC
Slow down Dixie don’t blanket out the world I’ll keep you warm
Slow down Dixie easy minds in silence wonder at the dawn
Slow down Dixie you’ll be running when the evening comes for you
We’ve all got to make our living , all got to tow some line
You’re gonna wake up one day wishing for a little more time
If you’d just slow down your love would be mine
Slow down Dixie cast your beauty as we travel long the wynd
Slow down Dixie or you won’t see it coming crashing blind
Slow down Dixie don’t go chasing stale lovers you don’t miss
We all gotta face our feelings, though some of us may hide
Y’all gonna end up learning, the proof is in design
If you’d just slow down your love would be mine
If you’d just slow down we would get on fine
If you’d just slow down your love would be mine
(Fenton) SESAC

"NEW YORK SONG"
(Fenton) SESAC
Looking out over Manhattan on a Foggy Day
Miss Liberty staring though she never has much to say
I soon caught sight of a Gypsy woman
Carrying her world in trolley
It’s a big assignment said the subway preacher
Telling everybody of their folly
And they’re riding high on the F Train
Opening up like a pinwheel tonight, We’ll go flying
Like a New York song
Down in the village soaking up the atmosphere
There was no time and the cabbie had more than his share
With the Wishing Wells and the Judas Bells, mask the scent of a delicate moment
Pure punk rock bands and their makeshift stands, facing Californian opponents
And they’re riding high on the F Train
Opening up like a pinwheel tonight, We’ll go flying
Like a New York song
When the rain comes down, watch the shadows taking over this town
Streetlights start to fade, we’re just passengers we’re one and the same
And they’re riding high on the F Train
Opening up like a pinwheel tonight, We’ll go flying
Like a New York song, from Battery Park to Central West,
Loose cannons firing in Sunday best, we’ll go flying
Like a New York Song

"ONLY ANGELS CAN FLY"
(Fenton/Rumble) SESAC/APRA
Linda was a beauty, getting tired of the usual life
A divorcee on day relief just another working mans ex wife
She caught him smiling at her in the airport bar
Felt together they might touch the sky
Only Angels can fly
Eddie was a gambling man, trying to make his fortune further South
Money did the talking, his wallet was connected to his mouth
Linda might be trouble, but trouble can go far, with something just as desperate by its side
Only Angels can fly
Eddie told a story as they drove on from the airport to the track
He owed some people money and they were trying hard to get it back
Only Angels can fly
Eddie lit a cigarette and put their last 200 on the nose
The horse was called experdient, that appealed to Linda I suppose
Linda she was crying, the horse had ended last, Eddie said ‘I think I’m gonna die’
Only Angels can fly

"THE MANY FACES OF ESTHER"
(Fenton) SESAC
She walks alone, somewhat enlightened by her senses,
Through the window pane, her thoughts may flourish, but its still winter
Some girls are pretty but none catch my eye like Esther
She’s one of the many, one of the many faces
As the dream transpires, that’s when the lions come to defend her
We gaze at the sky the way the weaver weaves the morning
Some girls are pretty but none catch my eye like Esther
She’s one of the many, one of the many faces
Her love could be mine, if only I could discover
Whats hiding behind, her jeans and her sweater
When she smiles she can hypnotize a real wildflower slippery like the rain
Then she’ll cry like a wounded dove will she fly if I try to hold her
Some girls are pretty but none catch my eye like Esther
She’s one of the many, one of the many faces

"SAD HOTEL"
(Fenton/Rumble) SESAC/APRA
A deceptively slim young man, suns himself by the swimming pool
While better known sharks take a shot in the dark in the absence of anything new
A girl just across the way finds herself by a card machine, pulling out in disgrace,
Coughing up her mistakes, like somebody she’s never been
She’s feeling like hell living alone, got one foot in the grave,
Lifes on the phone, they know her well in the sad hotel
The princess of two clean sheets, sets herself for the atmosphere
A champagne disease kept in the deep freeze and thawed every time she comes near
The plastic insurance man making deals in the back room bar, insane alibi’s
Believable lies for the client that gets that far
He’s feeling like hell living alone, got one foot in the grave,
Life’s on the phone, they know him well in the sad hotel
All your hopes and success ended in a bar room mess
Drink it down one more round
I’m feeling like hell living alone, got one foot in the grave,
Life’s on the phone, they know me well in the sad hotel

"JERICHO'S HORSE"
(Fenton/Rumble) SESAC/APRA
Into the West he went riding one night
On Jericho’s Horse faster than light
Faster than light and stronger than words,
He rode off in search of the stories he’d heard
First came the captain a frustrated man
With diamond rings sparkling on both of his hands
The diamonds were real his hands were the lie
He said ‘Son I’m a fake but I know how to cry’ I know how to cry’
Next he found love from a rodeo girl
In a caravan park called the end of the world
Oh the world is so wide he just never knew
You can’t tie down love with a golden lasoo
He came to a town where the people were cold
Glued to TV sets they bought and sold
He made his fortune guessing their names
When you don’t like yourself even that is a change
He hit the heights with money to spend
On young movie stars at the deep end
They got him stoned he liked it just fine
But nothings more lonesome than wasting your time, wasting all your time

"AIN'T NOTHING HURTS LIKE A HEARTACHE"
(Fenton) SESAC
Oh Baby won’t you take your time won’t you think about this
And send me a line.
I love you so much I can’t let go I feel corrupted when I think of what they might know
Lover wont you take me back to the place we shared when were really on track
Take me to your bed we can lie together leaving things unsaid
Aint nothing worse than a heartache
The night winds wail send me a line send me a line
Aint nothing hurts like a heartache, running a second time, running to lose my mind
I regret the things I’ve done, I’d take them all back just to be your one
Days go by thinking bout you the sun sets down black turns to blue
Lover you know its true if they’d have left us alone we’d have found our own way through
I’m trying to save myself
The more I struggle with what’s been dealt
Heartache got me woah, Its getting colder send me a line send me a line send me oh
Heartache yes indeed mama, I’m running a second time running to lose my mind
I’m feeling fine until I see a stranger darkly creeping by whispering love is blind
Aint nothing hurts like a heartache
The night winds wail send me a line send me a line
Nothing hurts like a heart ache its getting colder send me a line send me a line

"HOLY WATER"
(Fenton) SESAC
I was seeking peace of mind
Its my favourite waste of time
When the mantra’s running low
Endless cities overflow
Holy water, I’ve come to drink my fill
Holy water wash away my ills
Holy water I won’t fear you
I’d make the same mistakes just to be near you
I spend my money carelessly
Watch the wicked fail to see
Don’t you leave me waiting here
For the devils to appear
Holy water, I’ve come to drink my fill
Holy water wash away my ills
Holy water I won’t fear you,
I’d make the same mistakes just to be near you

"TURNIN'"
(Shadwell/Fenton) APRA/SESAC
LA midnight left you far behind
Toasting your sorrow over in your mind
Sometime love slows down sometimes love keeps Turnin’ around
Keeps Turnin Turnin
I know its not as easy as when our love was new
Circles always end where they begin
Love will come around come around again
Sometime love slows down sometimes love keeps Turnin’ around
Your love baby Turnin’ around keep on Turnin’
To me the colours that you bring
To me the colours taste like spring
Wheels in motion I’ll always love you
With your wheels in motion I’ll always love you
Your love baby Turnin’ around keep on Turnin’

"ANNE"
(Fenton) SESAC
I’d like to steal you and take you for mine
We’d travel in league with fire and wine
Anne when we’re gone they’ll still sing our song we’ll sail the galleon
Beholding a peaceful mahogany sea
My windswept companion we shall always be
Mooring by moonlight safe at the helm
Awash on this world like a cult silent film
Anne when we’re gone
They’ll still sing our song we’ll sail the galleon
Just a dance on the tide with you by my side sailing the galleon sailing the galleon

"TIME FOR MOVING ON"
(Fenton) SESAC
I left my heart in Melbourne with a girl from North Fitzroy
I hadn’t known her all that long I guess I was her boy
She took me out day walking in the cooler country air
Left myself wide open blissfully unaware
I had my share of mourning for sad days that made this song
But if tomorrow baby is all we have its time for moving on
I knew one day I’d leave her and walk the heels again
You never know how long you’ve got no idea when
I flew to New York City hitched on down to Winston-Salem
Packed my favourite black guitar my debts I done paid them
I sure wish things were simple
I always knew you were the one
But if tomorrow baby is all we have its time for moving on

"BLACK IS THE COLOR"
(Trad)
Black is the color of my true loves hair
Her lips are like some rose so fair
The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon she stands.
I love my love and well she knows I love the ground whereon she goes
I wish the day it soon might come when she and I might soon be one
So I went to the Clyde to mourn and wail
For satisfied I ne’er will be
I wrote her a letter just a few short lines
And suffered death ten thousand times
(Trad)

"SWEET VIRGINIA"
(Fenton) SESAC
Sweet Virginia since you’ve been gone
I’ve realized its with you I belong
Sweet Virginia hear my plea
I’ll give you all my love to end this misery
Oh I miss you sweetheart mine
I’ll make it back to you this time
Just to tell you that I love you
Sweet Virginia why so blue?
Though I’m miles away I’ll always love you true
Sweet Virginia aint life cruel
But I know this time it won’t take me for no fool
Oh I miss you sweetheart mine
I’ll make it back to you this time
Just to tell you that I love you,
Faith makes a lean and lonely rider
Something’s got to give who can tell when I’ll be beside her
Oh I miss you sweetheart mine
I’ll make it back to you this time
Just to tell you that I love you,

"YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE"
(Fenton) SESAC
I can tell by the way that you’re holding me now
It don’t feel like the way it used to feel
The longing look in your eyes it has gone
There’s something else my questions won’t reveal.
You don’t love me anymore
You don’t want me like before its time we said goodbye
You don’t love me anymore
A jealous mind will take the sunshine away
I promise not to cry or make a stand
Maybe I’ve been away for too long and memories are like footprints in the sand.
You don’t love me anymore
You don’t want me like before its time we said goodbye
You don’t love me anymore
I just wanted to see you baby one more time
Take you down to the river take you down and watch you shiver
I just wanted to touch you baby one more time
There’s a cold wind a blowing I ‘m feeling oh so still
The moon is shining oh so bright
I wish I would if only that I could turn things round and maybe make them right
You don’t love me anymore
You don’t want me like before its time we said goodbye
You don’t love me anymore
(Fenton) SESAC
I can tell by the way that you’re holding me now
It don’t feel like the way it used to feel
The longing look in your eyes it has gone
There’s something else my questions won’t reveal.
You don’t love me anymore
You don’t want me like before its time we said goodbye
You don’t love me anymore
A jealous mind will take the sunshine away
I promise not to cry or make a stand
Maybe I’ve been away for too long and memories are like footprints in the sand.
You don’t love me anymore
You don’t want me like before its time we said goodbye
You don’t love me anymore
I just wanted to see you baby one more time
Take you down to the river take you down and watch you shiver
I just wanted to touch you baby one more time
There’s a cold wind a blowing I ‘m feeling oh so still
The moon is shining oh so bright
I wish I would if only that I could turn things round and maybe make them right
You don’t love me anymore
You don’t want me like before its time we said goodbye
You don’t love me anymore
"TRANSCENDING"
(Fenton) SESAC
Gold and brown stuck on a melody, who’s around?
Who’ll pay the price of desire
Where’s the one cold like the enemy?
Cools the sun take of it what you require
Sparing whats yours and whats mine Transcending
Swept by the wind to some faraway place with only your heart guiding you
Start a new I’ll be mine I’ll be mine
Transcending

"PROMISED LAND"
(Fenton) SESAC
Whats on your mind won’t you go and find some distant station
One that plays it out in hi-def fascination
Blood on them rails jumping hobo’s bridge did some midlife damage
Laying down with solitude asleep inside her carriage
Go unto the promised land
Crossed the other side of time to find you
Promised land facing all them fears freed the lonely
Promised land
Unfamiliar towns unfamiliar sounds familiar faces
Falling out of every tree are we the only one’s that want to escape this
To the Pomised land
Them dark Kings of this world turn tail and disappear
Promised land as the weight of the world is covered up you’ll know you’re near

"BABYDOLL"
(Fenton) SESAC
You come stumbling in with suitcase and a grin
Dazed and dawning tired of believing in the new beat generation
I feel your sighs hear your cries imitate your spies till you realize
There’s no threat here
Everybody’s gun tried to shoot the sun
Take it out in all its glory
To be such a babydoll
Golightly at the ball make it home to tell your story every time she comes around
Where’s your will it lies so still you’ve had your fill and flown away till the memories fade dear
It won’t be long till I feel strong enough to write the song that shows we lost fear
Everybody’s gun tried to shoot the sun
Take it out in all its glory
To be such a babydoll
Golightly at the ball make it home to tell your story every time she comes around

"PORTLAND RAIN"
(Fenton/Basaraba) SESAC
The poets in the café working on another rhyme
Old gypsy with her parasol
Strums a chord divine
Uou and I have seen stormy weather through it all you look so grand
Like London only smaller oh so pretty when your grey
You look most beautiful to me
In the Portland rain
In the Portland rain
The waitress keeps on singing outside the morning dew
The toast of river city stole my heart you know its true
You and I have seen stormy weather through it all you look so grand
Like London only smaller oh so pretty when your grey
You look most beautiful to me
In the Portland rain
That’s how I remember you child
In the Portland rain
Portland like a rose
The Willamette she flows and when your smile cuts through them clouds like all I ever knew
You and I have seen stormy weather through it all you look so grand
Like London only smaller oh so pretty when your grey
You look most beautiful to me
In the Portland rain
That’s how I remember you child

"THE SEA IS ME THE SEA IS YOU"
(Fenton) SESAC
2 Ravens up high on a telephone wire
Looking at the city below
In the heat of the day don’t lose your way it’s the only self defence I know
You step on me I step on you, La mer c’est moi, La mer c’est toi
The illusion of life gives me hope gives me strife
Trying to pick a fake from a real
This one’s even faster bring on a new disaster with bonus sex appeal
You step on me I step on you
La mer c’est moi, La mer c’est toi
Aint no reason to cry
Sing me a tune
Lay me down on you
You step on me I step on you
La mer c’est moi, La mer c’est toi

"LOVE IS A TOUGH COMMODITY"
(Fenton) SESAC
Ghosts in my vision now my spirits on the run
Ghosts in my vision now my spirits on the run
Don’t blame yourself she said, sometimes these things happen
Ghosts in my vision now my spirits on the run
Time is a window in a house that won’t forget
Time is a window in a house that won’t forget
The Jokerman may soon recall the dreams that matter
Time is a window in a house that won’t forget
She blows through the oaks sad Johnny like the dark and dankest call
She blows through the oaks sad Johnny like the dark and dankest call
Fading in and falling like the seed that wakes the sapling
She blows through the oaks sad Johnny like the dark and dankest call

"DUSTY WINGS"
(Fenton/Kedzior) SESAC/BMI
Took a ride on the 62
These old wheels should see us through
An open road it feels so good
They said we couldn’t but we knew we should
Take a little trip to where the stars hang low
Changing the scene to something they’ll never know
We made it this far we can leave the rest behind
Fly little blackie (bird) on the open trail
With our kind of loving we cannot fail
The rising river sings
A song through the air clears our dusty wings
Winter sun barely touches down
Both wide awake in this sleepy town
She splits a sandwich on a magazine
He tells her bout last nights crazy dream
Riding on the back of a white buffalo that took him to the house of the mystic widow
You made it this far you can leave the rest behind
Fly little blackie (bird) on the open trail
With our kind of loving we cannot fail
The rising river sings
A song through the air clears our dusty wings
On and on they drove for days
And days were calling out their names
Where they turned to and where they go, was just a dream in someone’s show
Fly little blackie on the open trail
With our kind of loving we cannot fail
The rising river sings
A song through the air clears our dusty wings

"TINY PIECES"
(Fenton/Rumble) SESAC/APRA
Sending rockets to heaven
To blow holes in the moon
They say that Jesus is coming back
And he might be coming real soon
The revolution’s over I went along for the ride,
I hear their making a movie where the 21stCentury dies
World falls down kiss the ground tiny pieces
Front page sky don’t ask why tiny pieces
Digital ache my heart breaks tiny pieces
Shatter and sway lost for the day tiny pieces
Watch out for the bulletproof baby
Here comes cable sexy tv
Someone to tell us we’re happy
Big brother sit on his knee
Cause I bought shares in the new corporation
Got me some little white lies
I hear they’re giving out a bargain but I won’t be caught by surprise
World falls down kiss the ground tiny pieces
Front page sky don’t ask why tiny pieces
Digital ache my heartbreaks tiny pieces
Shatter and sway lost for the day tiny pieces
You’re right where they want you flat on your backs
Too dumb to listen to slow to act
World falls down kiss the ground tiny pieces
Front page sky don’t ask why tiny pieces
Digital ache my heart breaks tiny pieces
Shatter and sway lost for the day tiny pieces

"DOWN YOUR STREET"
(Fenton) SESAC
I’ll take your memory to the grave
It’s one of many I have saved
Love is all love is true ain’t no sense in what we do
I drove down your street last night
Let the rumours know the rain came down
Thunder rolled in cast them to the ground
All I learned loving you is what I could and didn’t do
I drove down your street last night
I drove for miles until the road came up and cornered me, said ‘where you going boy?’
I told you not to follow me this way
I’m so bad at letting go
You’re all I wanted and I let it show
It isn’t right isn’t wrong just a feeling that is strong
I drove down your street last night

"GOLD'S ALWAYS HARDER TO FIND"
(Fenton) SESAC
I once loved a girl who could never be had
She gave me constant reminders
Kept old love letters wore cheap cotton dresses
And hid so nobody could find her
Just when you thought all them fields had been mined
Gold’s always harder
Gold’s always harder to find
She’d been let down felt like she’d been here before
I found it out with patience
Soft was her skin and her voice it did sing
She’d say so much more with silence
Just when you thought love had left you behind
Gold’s always harder
Gold’s always harder to find
