Bow & Arrow
BOW & ARROW J. ROBIN/ M. SHARP c.2009

YOU THINK THE MOON AND THE SUN
SET AND RISE BY YOU
AND MORE THAN ANYTHING
I WISH IT WASN'T TRUE
I'M GOING DOWN AND DARK
AND THEN YOU DO WHAT YOU DO

AND I START SHINING
THERE'S A HALO ON THIS CARELESS WORLD
AND SUDDENLY EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL
MY PLANETS REALIGNING IS
OTHERWISE UNEXPLAINABLE

I WAS JUST TOO SLOW...
WHEN THE CUPID LET THE ARROW GO

IT DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL
THAT I KNOW BETTER
MY MIND HAS NOTHING TO SAY
AS TO WHETHER
I WILL KEEP DREAMING OF YOU
WHEN WE'RE APART CUZ WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER


END CHORUS:

AND I START SHINING
TILL THERE'S A HALO ON THIS CARELESS WORLD
AND SUDDENLY EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL
MY CROOKED PLANETS REALIGNING IS
OTHERWISE UNEXPLAINABLE

I WAS JUST TOO SLOW
WHEN CUPID DREW BACK HIS BOW
AND THE LET THE ARROW GO....

Bruise Easily
BRUISE EASILY J. ROBIN c.2009

I'VE BEEN LIVING IN THE TUNNEL OF LOVE
AND I'VE BEEN BROKEN
TRYING TO GET ABOVE

AND NOW YOU'RE BEAMING THROUGH
LIKE A LIGHT THAT I SHOULD FOLLOW

I MIGHT TRIP AND FALL
WILL YOU CARRY ME HOME
I CAN'T FIND THE WAY I'VE BEEN MAKING MISTAKES
I CAN'T SEE WHAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
CUZ I BRUISE EASILY..

RUMOR J. ROBIN c. 2009

THERE'S A RUMOR IN AROUND
I'VE BEEN HEARING IN TOWN
THAT YOU'VE COME BACK FOR ME
IT'S A RUMOR WE'LL SEE

PEOPLE SPEAKING IN TONGUES
THAT'S ALL IT IS TO ME
BABY YOU BEEN GONE SO LONG
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

SHOW ME SOME SIGN FROM ABOVE
CUZ THE TALKING I HEAR AIN'T ENOUGH
I'VE OPENED MY DOORS IS IT TRUE
I'M WAITING FOR YOU TO WALK THROUGH

I STAND HERE IN OUR HOUSE
WITH SO CLEAR MEMORIES
HOW YOU ONCE HELD ME TIGHT
ON A COLD WINTER'S NIGHT

I AM STANDING BY THE STREETLAMP
I SWEAR I SAW A SHADOW
BABY YOU BEEN GONE SO LONG
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SEEING

EVERYTHING'S CHANGED J. ROBIN/J. GROSSMAN c. 2009

HELP ME UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU'RE THE SAME
SINCE WE FIRST MET
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED AND

I AM SO LOST
IN THIS FRAGILE GAME WE PLAY
NOTHING STAYS THE SAME
IT'S A TRICKY SITUATION
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED

I CAN POINT THE FINGER
BUT MAYBE IT'S AT ME
FALLING IN AND OUT OF LOVE
WHERE IS MY STABILITY AND (Repeat Chorus)

"This Is Love" - Original Artist: PJ Harvey

I can't believe life's so complex
When I just wanna' sit here and watch you undress
This is love that I'm feeling
Does it have to be a life full of dread?
I wanna' chase you round the table, I wanna' touch your head
This is love that I'm feeling
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When you taste so good
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
While my head burns
This is love that I'm feeling
Even in the summer, even in the spring
You can never get too much of a wonderful thing

You're the only story that I never told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna' keep you so
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
- This is love that I'm feeling

Around the World
c. 2006 Janet Robin/Marcy Levy

There's nothing left for me
can't find a remedy
you said goodbye and now I just wanna be...
so far from home
away from the life
I've come to know...
What is this heart here for
can't feel it anymore
I'm walking out the door
to the nearest road,
that I can find
you're outta my sight
outta my mind

I'm going around the world
gotta fly
maybe a different bed every night
going around the world tonight, tonight
I'm going around the world
gotta run
maybe I'll let you go when I'm done
going around the world tonight

A change would do me good
you hurt me where you could
you picked your moment
and kicked me out on my own
but I'm doing fine
got paris or rome
and bottles of wine
London sounds good to me
won't miss your company
somewhere in mid-air
I might start feeling free
forget for a while
I'm taking it one,
so much for denial....

I'm going around the world
gotta fly
maybe a different bed every night
going around the world tonight, tonight
I'm going around the world
gotta run
maybe I'll let you go when I'm done
going around the world tonight

thanks for the tragedy
you'd be so proud of me
the negativity didn't get the best of me
there's no more price to pay
the big wide world awaits
it feels so good to say - I never loved you anyway...

I'm going around the world
gotta fly
maybe a different bed every night
going around the world tonight, tonight
I'm going around the world
gotta run
maybe I'll let you go when I'm done
going around the world tonight

beautiful freak J. Robin c.2003

falling down all around
my knees are so shaky now
i think i might break myself
catch me quick before i hit
i was trying to dance with you
do you think might dance with me?

i'm a beautiful freak
in a beautiful world
whenever i sleep
in the shadow of your curl
i dream your wonderful kiss
it numbs all my lonliness

i feel the pull, obsessive fool
i wanna be inside of you, instead inside of me
what a mess i am, would you touch me again
with all of my tainted past
we've only got time to last

do you want me or will you realize
i might not be enough

flood j. robin/ m. sharp c. 2004

everytime i see it waiting up ahead
i change direction fast as a hurricane or politician
then i wonder why nothing lasts on the long way 'round

there could be something to it
if we're willing to wade thru it
could be a big blue sky in all this grey
but after we begin it
can't put a stopper in it
so we've got to know that we won't wash away
in the flood....

i was afraid at first when you taught me
not to tip toe thru the mindfields of
memories i thought were gone but clearly
they've been hanging on, and now i'm going to break it down

it's gonna get muddy
before it gets sunny

personal revolution J. Robin c. 2004

i talk too little and i talk too much
i never do the things that make you want me enough
then we kiss and we tell and we shout it out loud
i wanna be the girl who wants to make you proud

i'm all outta love
baby i'm so tired i think i've had enough
of this beautiful dream
well somewhere along i lost myself self-esteem
and the only solution is my, personal revolution

i wish it was easy like a sweet summer dance
i'd follow your lead you put me under your trance
but we push and we pull trying to find control
falling six feet under in a rotten hole

in this crowded confusion
it's time to make a change
set my head straight and re-arrange
my patterns have failed me
they've proved me wrong
it's time to find the place i belong

i can't be with you if i can't be alone
it never seems enough to just be on my own
stand and i fall trying to do my best
open my eyes
and never settle for less
