STELLAR (Sorley)

V1
Guys that I go with don’t understand me
Come on like a queen bitch or playin’ eye candy
I won’t get no satisfying
That’s what they say I should give up trying
Well I really don’t think so
Never could accept that point of view

CH
Don’t understand it
Oh what a crazy feeling
I wan' it don’t wan' it
Head and my heart competing

Maybe I’m stellar and maybe they’re jealous
Maybe I’m stellar
Pure Cinderella

V2
I play like a real star, I play independent
They tell me it’s too much, I tell ‘em I’m different
All I can say is stay out the way
Try as you may you will never stop me
I just wanna be myself
Okay so what the hell is wrong with that

MID
Stellar... or a would-be superstar
Stellar... or a mud-slinging heart-breaking juvenile
Stellar... or a tortured genius caught up in trivia
Maybe I’m stellar, till I get a fella

Don’t understand it...

ISOLATION (Sorley)

V1
I’m so caught up in rhythms
Flames in motion
Burnin’  the heart from the soul of me
Makin’ a half from the whole of me

I’m so rich filthy with notions
Crashing to ground
Better to ditch in the drink
Floating and waiting to sink

CHORUS
Isolation
Stickin’ it to them I don’t know how
Consolation
Sittin’ it out with the bow wow wow
Isolation

V2
I’m no hostage to fortune
Plain old loser
Lookin’ to give up control of me
Rockin’ the beat to the roll of me

I’m so pissed bitter with potions
Falling through clouds
Carin’ and darin’ to think
Endin’ you out on the brink

MID
Jackin’ it up for the jamboree
Duckin’ and divin’, cool and conivin’
Just to be free

Info
BADSTUFF (Sorley)

V1
You kept sayin’ that you’d stick around
You kept sayin’ you’d be honour bound
Now I’m not sayin’ that it’s wrong or right
But how come the change of heart overnight
Overnight... Overnight

V2
Holed up or hangin’ out I’m feelin’ low
Tryin’ to find a reason and a way to go
Can’t think clearly and I can’t decide
Can’t decide... Can’t decide

BRIDGE
First I’m thinkin’ that I wanna leave
Then I wanna stay, wanna leave again
Feel distinctly this ain’t good for me
I’m hurtin’ hurtin’ hurtin’ oh so certain...

CHORUS
You’re the badstuff, just the wrong guy
Ain’t the right time to try to fly high
Don’t wanna be a pit-stop, ain’t no roll-over baby
Gonna shed a skin, gonna start it all over again

V3
Seek satisfaction from a TV show
Lookin’ for adventure and a Romeo
Can’t get closure so I fantasise
I fantasise... fantasise

BRIDGE
Don’t expect me to get on my knees
I’m hard to know, I’m hard to please
Feel distinctly this ain’t good for me
I’m hurtin’ hurtin’ hurtin’ oh so certain...

Info
SAY IT AGAIN (Sorley)

V1
Your only solution was to stay in bed
Power to the people
The real revolution was in your head
And there was something in the air

CH
Again and again
Let's say it
Again and again
Let's say it right now

V2
Say it for the preacher when he has a dream
Say it for the greater good
Say it for the sinner when he gets extreme
Never say that he never would

MID
Looking for a better way
Need to take a bullet
Need to die to pull it off
Save it for a different day
Say it if you mean when the time is right

V3
The man of the moment
He was taking a drive
Thought he had something to say
Doing it for your country was the way to thrive
The gunman said you lay down and die

Info
TURNAROUND (Sorley)

V1
Sometimes up
Most times down
Can't wise up
Till you abdicate the crown

Still caring
Still complaining bout the good life gone bad
Big tears welling in your eyes
No surprise

V2
Word on the street
Something’s strange
Can't keep the peace
The landscape is deranged

Stop caring
Stop playing now the blue chips have fallen
Big time change on the horizon

Ch
Won’t say no to affliction
Castles in the sky
I heard you shout from the rooftops by and by
You can’t come down from the mountain
Swim in the shallow sea
You want to drink from the fountain
In the higher ground
Better turn around

V3
Start sharing
Start preparing for a new dawn has broken
Old time tricks got nowhere to play

Info
ROCKS & RAIN (Sorley)

A1
Like a candle at the window
That’s how it seems to me
You go down and out
No flicker no flame

A2
I can imagine what it feels like
The more that you press the case
The more that you fall from grace
On the rocks in the rain

B1
The rocks and the rain
Not in sentimental vein
They'll make your heart sink with dread
Like a stone in a river bed

A3
From the deadlight when the time’s right
You move on from where you are
You let it go you heal the scars
From rocks in the rain

B2
The rocks and the rain
In deepest time they still remain
So learn to pitch as you roll
And realise there’s a way to go

A4
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Rise up the holy way
Say what the sophists say
With the wax and the wane
Fly like the eagle flies
Over rocks and the rain
