STAY Ed Charles They say There’s no way I’ll settle down I hear they say the same thing about you That every night You make out alright But never stick around That one and one are better off as two (musical interlude) Now I Don’t mind If you fall be hind Gives me a chance to get ahead Now, I’m not cruel It’s just my way to be kind You wanna thank me but you cry out instead Let me get close to your body Let me get close to your body Come Just feel your way Yeah, come After you come why don’t you stay? Come closer babe I promise I won’t bite Not till I hear you whisper “please” If you’re bad I’ll make it last All night I like the way you look from on my knees Come Just feel your way Yeah, come After you come why don’t you stay? Now that you’ve come Why don’t you stay? Move on down What have we here Looks like She’s finally appeared (Horn solo) I heed it I need it I practiced what to do My needle’s ready for your groove I heed it I need it I know just what to do My needle’s ready for your groove Come Just feel your way Yeah, come Now that you’ve come why don’t you stay? Why don’t you? Now that you’ve come Why don’t you stay?

365 DAYS TO YOU by Ed Charles 365 365 days to you 365 365 days to you Every night Every day Fighting the fight Working my way Home to you Each day I'm gone It's like a million years And when I wake alone The pillow's wet with tears So little show No matter how far I go How much can I stand? I don't really know Well my doctor says I should go home and stay But when I get the bill Just tell me: how am I to pay? No matter how hard I try I only climb so high Makes me wonder why I'm alive Why am I alive? 365 365 days to you 365 365 days to you Every night Every day Fighting the fight Working my way Home to you Working my way home You're like a waterfall In a desert land An inheritance To a desperate man If I could hold your hand Maybe you'd understand I'm more than just this empty Shell of a man Yes, I am 365 365 days to you 365 365 days to you Every night Every day Fighting the fight Working my way Home to you

Don't let another one slip away Stay young and beautiful Beautiful and young Stay young and beautiful Beautiful and young Dance While you have the chance Sing out loud There's so much to Sing about So much joy and laughter And love So much love No don't look the other way Stay young and beautiful Beautiful and young

Yeah, I'll shut up Yeah, I'll pipe down When I've had enough Of your head spinning round Gimme' some room I'm a bit excited I could ring your neck In fact, I'd be delighted Think I'm the kind to run To run and hope and pray?

You came to the right place Go on and crack a smile So I can crack it offa' your face They say: forgive and forget Well, this ain't your lucky day Yeah, I'll shut up Yeah, I'll pipe down When I've had enough Of your head spinning round In a bucket Yeah, I'll shut up Yeah, I'll pipe down When I've had enough Of your head spinning round Yeah, I'll shut up Yeah, I'll pipe down When I've had enough Of your head spinning round And....I ain't had enough I'll show you the face Of a Frightened Man I'll introduce you to A Frightened Man I'll show you A Frightened Man And I'm just gettin' started...

6.	Hard Being You 03:55	lyrics	buy track
HARD BEING YOU by Ed Charles You inspire mixed feelings From ecstasy to revenge You turn your back Like it’s a form of attack What’s so precious that you have to defend? Your every word is a weapon Every entrance a coup Every movement rehearsed Every syllable cursed So simple but not easy to do Must be hard being you Must be hard being you Must be hard being you Must be hard being you When you hang from a ledge The ones you think are your friends Grind your fingers under their shoes It must be hard being you How do you handle the pressure The burden must be immense A suspicious mind Can’t afford any kind Of tenderness but in your defense Must be hard being you Must be hard being you Must be hard being you Must be hard being you You’re under the ice While you struggle and fight They’re placing bets on if you’ll break through It must be hard being you
7.	Catch a Break 04:41	lyrics	buy track
CATCH A BREAK by Ed Charles No more wars to escalate No heroes left to decorate No breaking news to overrate Maybe we’ll catch a break No stranger’s home to devastate No prisoner to mutilate No leaders to assassinate Maybe we’ll catch a break No more god to contemplate No place left to congregate No more love to consummate Maybe we’ll catch a break No field of dreams to pollinate No ray of hope to radiate No masterpiece to recreate Maybe we’ll catch a break How much can we tolerate? It’s dangerous Motivate Navigate Procreate Resonate No tender touch to infatuate No dying love to rejuvenate No romance to intoxicate Maybe we’ll catch a break No spirit left to elevate No time alone to meditate No end in sight to celebrate Maybe we’ll catch a break How much can we tolerate? It’s dangerous Motivate Navigate Procreate Resonate No ganja leaf to medicate No warm place to hibernate Just sit at home and vegetate Maybe we’ll catch a break No black man to incriminate No woman to humiliate No immigrant to terminate Maybe we'll catch a break No leadership to emulate No grand plan to formulate No escape to orchestrate Maybe we’ll catch a break Maybe we’ll catch a break Maybe we’ll catch a break Maybe we’ll catch a break
8.	Away From Me 04:03	lyrics	buy track
AWAY FROM ME by Ed Charles You've got a funny way Of slipping in my dreams No you haven't changed I've put on some years At last again you're mine Oh, I've missed you so I tell myself this time I won't let you go But something tugs my sleeve There's no guarantee This could be the last time I see you And I curse the day As you slip away from me Sometimes when I'm away I try to close my eyes And reconstruct your face A sad compromise But when I fall asleep You're there so suddenly This may be the last time I see you And I curse the day As you slip away from me The moment's finally come How quickly now it's gone A flavor on my tongue To savor while it stays Then you slip away from me (instrumental) But when I fall asleep You're there so suddenly This may be the last time I see you And I curse the day As you slip away from me
