Verse 1 I’ve been in love and broken a heart I’ve risen above and been torn apart I’ve been let in and I’ve been left out I have kept secrets and opened my mouth Chorus That’s the ebb and flow What may come, may also go The tide is high, the moon is low That’s the ebb and flow Verse 2 I’ve flown high and I’ve hit the dirt I’ve laughed til I cried and wept with the hurt I’ve made good friends and I’ve lost a few I still think of them out of the blue Chorus Verse 3 I’ve had no money but never was poor I don’t really gamble but fortune has called I’ve done my best and I’ve tried too hard I’ve taken the test and I’ve missed the mark Chorus

Verse 1 I don’t remember, how or when I met you Or where you come from. It was something that you said that went buzzing through my head so I put you in a song Chorus I put you in a song, yes I put you in a song Do you know which one? You were the food that filled me with the mood to write another one Verse 2 Party drunk pretty all flirty and friendly We made a connection Caught each others’ eye, sat and chatted for a while yes we were getting on Turned out she was famous I cant tell you what her name is But we were having fun And I thought I was a chance when we got into dancing But I was wrong Chorus I put you in a song, yes I put you in a song Do you know which one? You were the food that filled me with the mood to write another one Bridge Nothing is sacred, nobody’s safe I might see you, or meet you Hear you or read you I’ll put you into something I’ve been working on Verse 5 Lovers and relations they inspire and frustrate us But it’s where we come from Trials and tribulations can be the things that make us so I put them in a song Chorus

Verse 1 Your life looks nice, happy and nice Can try a slice of it A house and a car, such a nice car A boat in the marina that you never use But are you happy? You should be happy I would be happy if I was you. Chorus Give me everything I have not got, There’ll still be something else that I want The more that I have, the more that I need All my possessions possessing me Verse 2 Your food looks nice, better than nice (mine/rice) Can I try a slice of it, mm mm mm mm It’s better from your plate, I just want a small taste, It just looks so great, in front of you Now are you happy, you should be happy, But you don’t look happy do you? Chorus Verse 3 Your hair looks nice, mine is a fright I never liked it, all of my life It’s way too curly, messy and wurly Just like young Shirley, but not as cute I just cant get it, the way that you get it How do I get it just like you?

Verse 1 You, you got a talent One, one deep desire If there’s a dream, that still lies sleeping Wake up, open your eyes, it’s time to rise and shine Verse 2 Sing, like a super idol Dance, if you think you can Bare yourself, for the TV cameras Stake your claim to your fifteen minutes of fame Chorus Showtime, and everyone’s a star Showtime, doesn't matter who you are Showtime, so what you gonna do? What you gonna do when the spotlight falls on you? Verse 3 Tell, your story to a talk show Get yourself into the news (chicka chicka boom boom) Dress to impress, be seen in a magazine Book your face in cyberspace and we can all tube you Chorus Bridge The time is showtime so it’s time to show What gets you going what you got, that makes you tick tock The world is a stage and the part you play, Is the role of your life so if you want to make it Make your mark, be unique, even a little freaky, entertain us, amaze us, be the worst or the greatest, make us laugh make us cry, it might take you places, so what you waiting for? A curtain call? Choruses out
