Silence

Silence 03:39
lyrics
Composed by Chris Altmann © Mushroom Music Publishing Nobody argues when she’s breathin’ fire Someone who gets what she wants Nobody argues when they call you a liar They’ve been sayin’ that for months She’s a girl on a hot tin roof She’s a hell cat hound Ah, but silence is all she desires Silence is all she desires Silence is all she desires from you, from you Where is she goin’ and what has she done? Why’s her face all in knots? Wearin’ the glasses to see through the night She walks at night a lot She’s a girl on a hot tin roof She’s a hell cat hound Ah, but silence is all she desires Silence is all she desires from you, from you It’s not a problem ’cause she’s got it already beat She clutches her purse as she crosses the side of the street She could try to show you but she don’t even know you that well After 24 years you’d think you’d be able to tell She doesn’t care about the things in your wallet Or the things that you’ve done She’s got to get to that business appointment It’s really not much fun She’s a girl on a hot tin roof She’s a hell cat hound Ah, but silence is all she desires Silence is all she desires Silence is all she desires from you Ah, silence is all she desires Silence is all she desires Silence is all she desires from you, from you

Easily Replaced 03:54
lyrics
Composed by Chris Altmann © Mushroom Music Publishing I always drive on the dotted line when I’m drivin’ in your lane Keepin’ the pace at a steady rate ‘cause I’m thinkin’ just the same Someone told me I was on the way to a date with the devil’s wife But I don’t think he understands I’ve been runnin’ all my life Sunshine for your pretty face I was so easily replaced Sunshine for your pretty face I was so easily replaced I kept my head in a lion’s cage when I was in my teens One hand bangin’ on a bolted door, the other had the key Now I don’t know what your mother told you ‘bout the company I keep But if she knew about me and you it’d surely make her weep Sunshine for your pretty face I was so easily replaced Sunshine for your pretty face I was so easily replaced Sunshine for your pretty face I was so easily replaced Sunshine for your pretty face I was so easily replaced Sunshine for your pretty face I was so easily replaced

Hello Again (acoustic) 03:21
lyrics
Composed by Chris Altmann © Mushroom Music Publishing Open the door, walk inside I must be happy, see me smile What’s goin’ on, in your life? Now you’re in love, yes I know Please don’t invite me to the show That doesn’t mean I have to go And I thought I knew you well A long time ago, a long time ago Now I just can’t seem to tell If you’re my friend But you look so happy now Look at your face, look at your face And it’s good to know there’s somethin’ there again Look at the shelves, they’ve all changed There’s different pictures in the frames Who are your friends, what’s their names? You’re movin’ on like it’s a race I look in the mirror, I see your face Wish that you’d slow down the pace Well I tried not to be cruel I’m in control, I’m in control Even though I wanted to, I was restrained Now, I’m glad that we still talk We’re doin’ fine, we’re doin’ fine And I’m burnin’ out the memories in my brain Yeah we’ll be just who we are We won’t pretend, we won’t pretend We’ll show that it’s all water, down a drain Well it’s time for me to go I’ll say goodbye, I’ll say goodbye I’ll kiss your cheek and you will do the same Open the door, walk inside I must be happy, see me smile What’s goin’ on, in your life? Now that we’re done, with the chase I hear you’re lettin’, out the space Like what you’ve done, to the place Hello again it’s good to see your face

The House At No. 3 03:06
lyrics
Composed by Mikey Madden © Mushroom Music Publishing It’s been a long time gone, been a dirty old road Since there was meat on my bones, and places to go I left you when the milk went sour Came back when the grass was greener But don’t take me down that same street anymore I don’t recognise the houses or the trees I’ve been fifteen again since I walked through the door Of the house at No. 3 Fell out with the neighbours, fell in love with the night time When the truth took a backseat to the stories and the rhyme Talked to yer girlfriends to see if they miss ya And asked for your mother to give you a call But don’t take me down that same street anymore I don’t recognise the houses or the trees I’ve been fifteen again since I walked through the door Of the house at No. 3 And now when I see her I can’t help but miss her The lights from the hallway that call ya back in But don’t take me down that same street anymore I don’t recognise the houses or the trees I’ve been fifteen again since I walked through the door Of the house at No. 3 The house at No. 3
