Brother, Can You Spare A Dime? (2010)

BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME? (2010)

(Veazey)

livin' the dream, I was suddenly awoken

the weight's hard to bear, but i'm not easily broken

hey, mister. can you spare a dime?

say, buddy. can you spare a dime?

built you a railroad, sure laid a lotta track

built you a highrise, i'd settle for a tiny shack

hey, mister. can you spare a dime?

say, buddy. can you spare a dime?

i fought your wars, i fought through hell and back

with my gun, i didn't run, i attacked

now here I stand

with one thought in mind

why did I end up here

end up in this unemployment line

why did I end up here

in this modern day bread line

hey, mister. can you spare me

brother, can you spare me a dime?

TO LIFE

(Veazey)

here's to life and all that it is

to life make the most of it

to life and all that it is

here's to life

friends will still be friends

in the very end

meet up on the other side

we'll raise a toast

to what we loved most

and to everything we had to hide

here's to life and all that it is

to life make the most of it

to life and all that it is

here's to life

in the very end

friends will still be friends

meet up on the other side

let the good times roll

let the bad times go

here's to life

on with the show

here's to life and all that it is

to life make the most of it

to life and all that it is

here's to life

Privacy Please

PRIVACY PLEASE

(Veazey)

i didn't want to be disturbed
didn't leave a wake up
lots of room service dishes
piled up on the table
i've got a half a glass of water
and a cure for my head
i'm not getting’- out of bed
(stayin in bed)

i put the privacy please
on the door handle
i put the privacy please
on the door handle

out of the corner of my eye
i saw her movin’
a strange woman in the bed
let's hope she's good lookin’
i don't remember where i met her
don't know her name
i'm better off just the same
(what a shame)

i put the privacy please
on the door handle
i put the privacy please
on the door handle
privacy please
privacy

i hear a knock upon the door
(housekeeping)
don't understand why or what for
i know the sign is there
does she not see it or care
i know it's there
(oh, yeah)

i put the privacy please
on the door handle
i put the privacy please

TWO HEARTS ON FIRE

the first to be were adam and eve

first two hearts in history

they were each one of a kind

the first, the first of all time

two hearts (on fire)

burnin' with desire

two hearts (on fire)

two hearts on fire

livin’ out our own adam and eve

two hearts, two hearts meant to be

two hearts (on fire)

burnin' with desire

two hearts (on fire)

two hearts on fire

it only takes a spark to start a flame

to get two hearts to burn

all over the world again and again

it's our time (it's our time)

it's our turn (it's our turn)

now you and i someway somehow

you and i right here right now

livin out our own adam and eve

two hearts, two hearts meant to be

two hearts (on fire)

burnin' with desire

two hearts (on fire)

My Fate

MY FATE

(Veazey)

not born in your homeland
worship a god as you
no matter that you walk on two legs like i do
don't believe what you do
or speak the same kind of words
i'm lookin' down on you and your world
can't dismiss
blinded by hate
prejudice
is my fate
age too young or old
color's not like my kind
lover's a different sex than i take as mine
don't like the way you dress
the way you wear your hair
not exactly like me
i don't care, i don't care
not as i would like
makes me want to fight
i have more right than you

can't dismiss
blinded by hate
prejudice
is my fate

Let Me Be

LET ME BE

(Veazey)

اسمحوا لي أن أكون - let me be - اسمحوا لي أن أكون

the silence is deafening

set the world on fire

the silence is deafening

oh, lift your voice higher

there comes a time when the river runs dry

when there’s no fruit left on the tree

barren land as far as the eye can see

then one voice with an awakening cry

says let the water run free

quench my thirst and let me be

the silence is deafening

set the world on fire

the silence is deafening

oh, lift your voice higher

let the water run free

quench my thirst and let me be

let me be

one voice with an awakening cry

says let the water run free

quench my thirst and let me be

the silence is deafening

set the world on fire

the silence is deafening

oh, lift your voice higher

My Good's Not Good Enough

MY GOOD’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH

(Veazey)

i kiss you here
i touch you there
i take you anywhere you like
i don't care
but, no lovin' here
only neglect
what one would think i'd get in return
is some respect

i guess my good's not good enough
my good's not good enough
try as hard as I may
one more time honey for old time's sake
(you know, i don't)

i gave you pearls
i gave you gold
i gave you diamonds 'cause I thought
you rocked my world
i gave it all
all that I could
i thought my give it all
made you feel like you should

i guess my good's not good enough
my good's not good enough
try as hard as I may
one more time honey for old time's sake

kiss me
touch me
come on and love me, baby

i gave it all
all that I could
i thought my give it all
made you feel like you should

i guess my good's not good enough
my good's not good enough
try as hard as I may
one more time honey for old time's sake

(thanks but no thanks)

(your good’s just not good enough)

Heart Of Stone

HEART OF STONE

(Veazey)

heartbreaker
love gone bad
has a way of makin’ a heart not want to be had
no reason
no reason to try
ending up just like those before, i love you a lie

but, love ain't so bad
better than being sad
from wakin’ up alone
no sense in cryin’
or givin’ up tryin’
love has a chance at a heart of stone

it's a gamble
a roll of the dice
the thrill of playin’ to win's not worth the price
no feelings
cold to the touch
never givin’ more than what's needed and even that may be too much

but, love ain't so bad
better than being sad
from wakin’ up alone
no sense in cryin’
or givin’ up tryin’
love has a chance at a heart of stone

love is on our side
find us sooner or later can't hide
can't carry forever a heart

heart of stone

but, love ain't so bad
better than being sad
from wakin’ up alone
no sense in cryin’
or givin’ up tryin’
love has a chance at a heart of stone

Sides

SIDES

(Veazey)

my side, your side
his side, her side
their side
end up on the wrong side

this side, that side
which side, what side
the far side
the power of the dark side

i like sides

by your side, at your side
bedside, graveside
downside
look at the bright side

rinkside, courtside
on side, off side
winning side
catch ya on the flip side

i like sides

i'll take a side
i'll choose a side
then walk along beside
the trees at shadyside
show my sweet side

listen to my side
don’t get on my bad side
lean to the right side
fight from the inside
lookin’ for an upside
fall by the wayside
stranded on the roadside

bring her alongside
everybody topside
what’s on the B-side
what the hell’s a B-side
that would be the other side
just a little off the side
i like livin’ stateside

i like sides

Shame On Me

SHAME ON ME

(Veazey)

fool me once, shame on you

fool me twice, shame on me

you say you're gonna love me

made up your mind to show me

don't know if i believe it

they're just words let me see it

nothing gonna stand between you and what you say

actions speak louder than words don't waste my day

now you say you're gonna leave me

made up your mind to forget me

i should have seen it comin’

didn't think you'd end up runnin’

you've packed your bags can't wait to make your getaway

lookin’ back it seems that i just stood in your way

fool me once, shame on you

fool me twice, shame on me

whatever my heart says it wants

it's told me more than once

i can't stop it no matter i hard i try

shame on me

fool me once, shame on you

fool me twice, shame on me

Father And Son

FATHER AND SON

(Veazey)

the son entered the world
began to do everything he could
his father understood
all the things that he knows he would

the father lends a helping hand
helps his son any way he can
helps him grow into a man
knowing that someday he'll understand

that the bond between a father and son
can't be broken by anything or anyone
the bond between a father and son
not only love, it's a matter of flesh and blood

don't see eye to eye always
they're both set in their ways
somehow it turns out to be
just like father, like son

that the bond between a father and son
can't be broken by anything or anyone
the bond between a father and son
not only love, it's a matter of flesh and blood

can't be broken by anything or one
not only love, flesh and blood

That's All That's Okay

THAT’S ALL THAT’S OKAY

(Veazey)

boy meets a girl
girl meets the boy
they'll decide if it's meant to be
the boy may want it
the girl may not
that's okay to me

takin' her home
the boy thinks he's cool
thinking of how it's gonna be
they both may want it
they both may not
that's okay to me

that's all i've ever known
it's always been a part of me
won't give it up, you know
the heart and soul of me
the boy say's let's go
the girl may say stop
but she'll probably say yes
more often than not
nothing more than a boy
and a girl if you please
that's all that's okay to me

layin' in bed
the light's really dim
the moment of true honesty
the boy may love it
the girl may not
that's okay to me

only a boy and girl if you please
only that makes sense to me
if you please
a perfect match it seems to be
the boy and the girl's anatomy
if you please

I Can't Stand On My Own

I CAN’T STAND ON MY OWN

(Veazey)

i couldn't speak now
and i couldn't crawl
i couldn't show you how to save my soul
‘cause i can't, i can't stand on my own

then i, i met you now
and you help me see
you help to show me how good love can be
no i can't, i can't stand on my own

love will catch me when i stumble
pick me up if i should fall
be a crutch i can depend on
i can't stand on my own

i couldn't speak now
and i couldn't crawl
i couldn't show you how to save my soul
‘cause i can't, i can't stand on my own

no i can't, i can't stand on my own

‘cause i can't, i can't stand on my own

Goodbye Year

GOODBYE YEAR

(Veazey)

so long
been nice to know you
swan song
your end has come due
you’ve had a nice run now it’s time to go

one year
is all you had to
be here
now your time is through
better be on your way sad to see you leave

adiós - auf wiedersehen – sayonara - goodbye
adiós - arrivederci - güle güle - au revoir
adiós al año - goodbye year - adiós

don’t you
feel you’re forgotten
without you
there would’ve been nothin’
you’ve had a nice run now it’s time to go

twelve months
you gave it your best
seconds
is all you have left
better be on your way sad to see you leave

adiós - auf wiedersehen – sayonara - goodbye
adiós - arrivederci - güle güle - au revoir
adiós al año - goodbye year - adiós

out with the old, in with the new
there’s nothin’ left to do but sing auld lang syne
nothin’ left to do but sing auld lang syne

adiós - auf wiedersehen – sayonara - goodbye
adiós - arrivederci - güle güle - au revoir
adiós al año - goodbye year - adiós
