Track Name: High Tide on the Causeway
High Tide on the Causeway
©Peter Coy December 2000

High tide on the causeway
Fast ride with my baby
Running hot, gunning the motor

Too hot to handle
Too fast to run
Too hot to handle
Made a choice, it was a bad one

Police light in the mirror

I was born to be a rebel
High school, in and out of trouble
Never knew what I wanted
Never knew just what counted

Don’t know what I’m doing here looking for some fun
Ain’t found nothing but tears Just violence and fear

THIS GUY IS NOTHING BUT A LOSER
KNOW-NOTHING TRASH, A BUM AND A BOOZER
CAUGHT UP IN THE MOB JUST A HARD LUCK STORY
THOUGHT HE HAD IT MADE NOW HE’S SORRY

He s the worst kind of trouble
Gotta find out a way to burst his bubble
Find my own way out of here
I feel the end is near

Too hot to handle Too fast to run
Too hot to handle Made a choice, it was a bad one

Gotta ride gotta run Gotta ride gotta run
Gotta ride gotta run Gotta ride gotta run
Gotta ride gotta run Gotta ride gotta run

Maid of the Morn

Peter Coy/Scott Maynard 2000

Maid of the Morn
Turn from my bed
Warm tangled dreams
Still dance in your head
It’s another day, ok
And now you’re on your way

Maid of the morn
Sleep filled eyes
Kiss me your kiss
I struggle to rise again

Stretch with the cat
Rise with the lark
Peer through the window
And scowl at the darkened sky
And sigh
Don’t wonder why
Don’t cry
Beautiful morning girl

{Bridge Bits}

Face morning beauty
Pillow-made hair
Places to go
And nothing to wear
Maid of the morn
Always in my heart
Come back to my bed
We’ll make a new start again

Ah, lovers dreams, are seldom what they seem

SW female
Needs some affection
Style with a warm heart
Looking for a muse
Dark, happy and handsome
No airs or pretensions
Athletic and stable
Photograph required

They meet over coffee
After some hesitation
Searching for connections
Laughing out their fears
They made their confessions
Far into the dark night
Her head on the pillow
He held her till the dawn
(chorus)


Nothings for Nothing
You get just what you give
Hoping and waiting
That’s the way we live

In the light of the new day
Both suddenly tongue-tied
Shy now and still strangers
They both just ran away
Exchanging numbers
He promised to call her
“I got to get going
We’ll do it again soon”

Chorus

SW female
Needs some affection
Style with a warm heart
Still looking for a muse
Track Name: Eight of Nine
Eight of Nine

I,m waiting for my lovely 8 of 9
I,m waiting for my lovely 8 of 9
Turn on her implants get her all on line
Pseudo-robotic can make you feel so fine
My 8 of 9, Hmm yeah my 8 of 9

Bio-mechanical, party time
Lovely, enigmatic, and serpentine
Wanna join her collective, know her feelings all the time
Tune in to her wavelength and try to make her mine
My 8 of 9, my lovely 8 of 9, waiting for my 8 of 9

Hoping she will finally give me a sign
Take me to the movies to see Frankenstein
Assimilate my culture, we’ll just have to toe the line
My resistance is futile, and I think I’ll just resign, to my 8 of 9
My lovely 8 of 9
Thinking bout that 8 of 9
Gotta love her all the time
8 of 9, 8 of 9, 8 of 9
Love her all the time.

Forever ingénue
No matter what you do
The pages turn for you
Slower that the rest of us mere mortals
The night follows the day
The sun has slid away
To the last bright gleaming ray
In the windows and sacred portals

Is time the lasting friend
That’s with us to the end
Or does it condescend
With space in our dimension
To give us room to grow
The endless seeds to sow
The waves that come and go
Without our intervention

Forever ingénue
In life’s peculiar stew
Where all that’s old is new
An endless circle of existence
Come join hands in the dance
Be brave and take a chance
With courage to advance
With hope and love that goes the distance
Track Name: Don't just stand there and pout
Don’t just stand there and pout
© Coy/Maynard 2000

Oh, Oh, Oh yeah its heavy
Oh Oh Ah, get your butt in the Chevy
Don’t want to testify
We can run for freedom or stand here and die, It’s so heavy

Don’t just stand there and pout' Grab your bags we’re checking out
Don’t just stand there and pout, Grab your bags we’re checking out

Could have known the free ride was up
We grabbed for the ring and we drank from the cup
Got a little spacey, got a little fried
Got a little action on the inside, now….

Oh, Oh, Oh yeah its so heavy

Don’t just stand there and pout' Grab your bags we’re checking out
Don’t just stand there and pout, Grab your bags we’re checking out

Gotta leave, got a get away
Gotta get out fast,
Get out on the highway
Don’t stop to consider
Don’t make that last call
Here comes the hitter,
Waiting out in the hall, so…..

Don’t just stand there and pout' Grab your bags we’re checking out
Don’t just stand there and pout, Grab your bags we’re checking out
Checking out
Track Name: Get my emotion from the ocean
Get my emotion from the ocean

©Coy/Maynard Feb 2000

Get my emotion from the ocean
Get my free from the sea
(x2)

Walking along Santa Monica beach
Feels like the future is just out of reach
I try to get closer, it just moves away
Now there’s a winter chill on sunny LA

Loving you just ain’t pastel
Its either heaven or a living hell
Thought I had an angel, got the devil instead
Woke up to find you rocking inside my head

So maybe I’ll just follow wherever you lead
I’ll follow my heart, I’ll follow my needs
I’ll follow your star right up to the sky
I’ll drink from your river till your river runs dry

Get my emotion from the ocean
Get my free from the sea
Track Name: Inside and Out
Inside and Out
© Peter Coy & Scott Maynard 1999

Let me touch your soul
Let me eat it whole
And be you inside and out.
There’s a certain song
You have to sing along
Cos it’s playing inside and out
(Chorus)

Inside and out
Inside and out
Inside and out
Inside and out

Go down to a museum
Got to pay just to see em
New old ideas Inside and out
Sitting in a restaurant
I know you know just what I want
Cause you see me inside and out
(Chorus)


Think I'm going crazy
Think I’m going mad
Think I'm going crazy
Makes me happy, Makes me happy
Makes me sad

It’s not just another day
I don’t think It’s going away
Cause I feel it inside and out
It is no mistake
There’s no double take
When you feel it inside and out
(Chorus)

You take a look at me
I hope that you'll see
That I'm with you inside and out
So take a look at me
I hope that you'll see
I'm with you inside and out

Yeah, we’re working flat out
We’re working flat out
We’re working flat out
Aaaaah (Scream)

Today’s the day, I read it in the news
The good guy’s win and the bad guys lose
Today’s the day and there isn’t any doubt
We’ll get together and shout

Yeah, we’re working flat out
We’re working flat out
We’re working flat out
Aaaaah (Scream)

Working hard, just trying to clear my debt
And with me, what you see, is exactly what you get
The days come and go, I never take a break
I just got to sweat and make, make, make

Yeah, we’re working flat out
We’re working flat out
We’re working flat out
Aaaaah (Scream)

Instrumental bridge more work sounds

Chant: Flat out, Flat out, Flat out

It’s Friday night, I collect my pay
Gets me through the week, to survive another day
Rent is due, and I need to fix my truck
Buy some beer and maybe try my luck

Yeah, we’re working flat out
We’re working flat out
We’re working flat out
Aaaaah (Scream, elongated ah ah ah, ah a-ah ah)

Sail into the sunset friend
Far beyond the outer reef
Outside the cross-chop and confusion
To the lovely Ocean swell.

Porpoise play behind your wake
Mermaids gather at your bow
A strong clear wind fills up your sail
No shoals ahead, one course to take.


[Chorus]

Sail away beyond the stars
Sail upon a sea of light
Endless beauty fills your eyes
Angels guide you to your peace

We stand becalmed upon the shore
And fill the ocean with our tears
And yet we smile to think of you
Far beyond the outer reef

Far beyond the outer reef
Far beyond the outer reef
And yet we smile to think of you
Far beyond the outer reef

Remembered always with a smile
Remembered always as a friend
You followed close upon your dream
And steered a course so straight and true
