IF IT’S REALLY LOVE (LET’S FALL) Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. I don’t know what you’re feeling tonight So I’m listening with my eyes And looking for a sign that tells me go I try to hide my racing heart And I’m hoping you don’t see me I can’t reveal my feelings till I know CHORUS: Together falling through the air and falling through the sky If it’s only in my mind then I’ll hold back But every time I touch you and you’re touching part of me There’s love that’s in your heart, like there is in mine So let’s take the leap, let’s make the call If it’s really love, let’s fall, let’s fall 2. If there was ever any doubt That I would fall for you You made it work so well, I didn’t see That I never had a chance You’ve captured me completely You took my heart now take the rest of me CHORUS: Together falling through the air and falling through the sky If it’s only in my mind then I’ll hold back But every time I touch you and you’re touching part of me There’s love that’s in your heart, like there is in mine So let’s take the leap, let’s make the call If it’s really love, let’s fall, let’s fall, let’s fall

BOOM BOOM Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. I see the hips are shaking, DJ he’s music-making And the moon, she’s breaking through the clouds The beach is really humming, the bass is really pumping The music and the heat stirs up the crowd That guy there in the corner, he’s gonna get no warning His head will start to bobble, his legs will start to wobble And the music stops, and his body rocks And he knows he’s in trouble CHORUS: Boom boom, there’s nothing you can do Boom boom, when it gets hold of you Boom boom, it’s a contagious thing Boom boom, can’t stop it happening Boom boom, feels good when you know Just go boom boom 2. The party’s really cooking, and everybody’s looking For someone to dance with oh so close She came here feeling lonely, she has no one and only She’s thinking that she’ll always be alone Then she looks across the floor, she sees him watching her Her mind will just give in, her head will start to spin And the music stops, and her body rocks And here we go again CHORUS (x2): Boom boom, there’s nothing you can do Boom boom, when it gets hold of you Boom boom, it’s a contagious thing Boom boom, can’t stop it happening Boom boom, feels good when you know Just go boom boom

ONE MORE ENDLESS SUMMER Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. I was sitting on the bank down by the river And thinking ‘bout the way my life has gone Then I remembered you and that summer long ago When the sunshine and the fun went on and on 2. Even after all these years I still remember How we danced and how we thought we were in love In my mind I’ll turn the clock back to see you once again I guess I’ve loved you forever CHORUS: One more endless summer would be heaven We could hold each other close under the sun Even though it’s just a dream It’s so real it really seems That my one more endless summer has begun CHORUS: One more endless summer would be heaven We could hold each other close under the sun Even though it’s just a dream It’s so real it really seems That my one more endless summer has begun CHORUS: One more endless summer would be heaven We could hold each other close under the sun Even though it’s just a dream It’s so real it really seems That my one more endless summer has begun My one more endless summer has begun

SECRETS Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) CHORUS: Hide in the dark, run from the light You’ll never win ‘cause he knows your secrets It’s there in your eyes, you can’t hide the lies And you can’t surprise him ‘cause he knows your secrets 1. You said to him, I’ll tell you everything I won’t keep anything from you But he knows the truth, he knows you’re lying And when you say you’ll always be there Don’t you know that inside he’s crying, crying CHORUS: Hide in the dark and run from the light You’ll never win ‘cause he knows your secrets It’s there in your eyes, you can’t hide the lies And you can’t surprise him ‘cause he knows your secrets 2. He looked at you and tried to smile Then he turned away and left But you didn’t know he saw you kiss the man And now he’s hurting so much inside What do you think he’s wishing, he’s wishing CHORUS: So try to hide in the dark and run from the light But you’ll never win ‘cause he knows your secrets It’s there in your eyes, you can’t hide the lies And you can’t surprise him ‘cause he knows your secrets CHORUS (x2)

GETTING OVER YOU Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. I say to all my friends and my family, hey it’s not so bad But they don’t know that I can’t eat or sleep I’m only going through the motions each and every day And I’m walking in a daze along the street CHORUS: The days and nights are so much longer Than they’ve ever been before But forgetting you is something I can’t do I fake it all the time and do enough to just get by Cause I’m still getting over getting over you 2. I say no to invitations from my friends to party down And end up staying in all by myself I sit and watch the door to see if one day you will return Cause I know I’ll never love somebody else CHORUS: The days and nights are so much longer Than they’ve ever been before But forgetting you is something I can’t do I fake it all the time and do enough to just get by Cause I’m still getting over getting over you CHORUS: The days and nights are so much longer Than they’ve ever been before But forgetting you is something I can’t do I fake it all the time and do enough to just get by Cause I’m still getting over getting over you I’m tired of faking all the time so I can just get by And I’m still getting over getting over Getting over getting over you

FOREVER Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1.Looking back I never thought we’d still be here Everybody said we’d never last another year But here we are together and it still feels right I never miss a chance to hold and kiss you every night I’ll always be right here for you Hold you forever is what I will do CHORUS: You and me forever Endlessly forever Wait and see forever We will be forever Never ends forever Always friends forever We’ll be here together To the end forever 2. It’s so hard to believe that we’re still standing strong Everybody said we’d never, ever last this long But we know the magic of what makes it right Everybody’s watching and wishing they were us tonight I’ll always be right here for you Hold you forever is what I will do CHORUS: I’ll always be right here for you Hold you forever is what I will do CHORUS:

BLACK COFFEE Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. Sitting in the jungle in the middle of the night Ghosts are creeping down the path, their eyes are glowing bright Better you don’t move too much, better stay awake You know you wanna scream out loud, you know you’re gonna break Black coffee, black coffee, I need black coffee 2. Ever been to hell and back? Ever felt the flames? Ever felt the creepy touch of snakes and lizard tails? You never want to feel the breath of something on your face To stay alive you’ll have to know what’s crawling round this place Black coffee, black coffee, I need black coffee CHORUS: It’s hell out here and no one’s gonna come and rescue you You’re on your own, you’re all alone, do what you gotta do Something’s howling, trees are whispering, calling out your name Will you make it through the night or will you go insane? 3. Sitting in the jungle, it’s the middle of the night The yellow eyes are staring out, they’re looking for a fight Better you don’t move too much, better stay awake You know you wanna scream out loud, you know you’re gonna break Black coffee, black coffee, I need black coffee Black coffee, black coffee, I need black coffee Black coffee, black coffee, I need black coffee

DANCING ON THE ROOF Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. Papers down, my desk is clear The PC’s off cause Friday’s here I’m leaving now and I don’t give a damn When Monday comes I’ll care again But right now I’m not staying in My friends are outside waiting in the van On Friday nights we don’t do bars We’ve found a place under the stars A place where we can sing and dance and play We carry on till morning comes And brings in Saturday CHORUS: We’re dancing on the roof, dancing on the roof The world is ours, no troubles here Our secret hideaway till night turns into day There’s no one here to interfere With our dancing, dancing on the roof 2. The party’s crackin’, the music’s loud My body’s jivin’ with the crowd I’m in a different world that’s not insane I see her dancing, she looks hot I move on over and she stops She looks at me and then says, “What’s your name?” On Friday nights we don’t do bars We’ve found a place under the stars A place where we can sing and dance and play We carry on till morning comes And brings in Saturday CHORUS (x2):

TILL I FIND YOU Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. Climbing over snowbanks and crossing frozen rivers I won’t ever stop till I find you Over hills and mountains with rocky paths and waterfalls I won’t ever stop till I find you I never knew that my lovesick heart Could hurt so much every day we’re apart Through the mist and rainfall, in darkness and in sunshine I won’t ever stop till I find you CHORUS: The day that I first saw you my heart was swept away I have never felt like this before To find you again is why I’m searching every day I look in every window and open every door 2. Walking through the forests and jumping over fences I won’t ever stop till I find you With starry skies and moonlight and nothing else to guide me I won’t ever stop till I find you I never knew that my lovesick heart Could hurt so much every day we’re apart On windy days in hailstorms when there’s no shelter for me I won’t ever stop till I find you CHORUS: 3. Climbing over snowbanks and crossing frozen rivers I won’t ever stop till I find you Over hills and mountains with rocky paths and waterfalls I won’t ever stop till I find you I never knew that my lovesick heart Could hurt so much every day we’re apart Through the mist and rainfall, in darkness and in sunshine I won’t ever stop till I find you

LOOKING FOR LOVE AGAIN Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. After the shower is over I’ll take a stroll to the sidewalk Looking for love again Maybe this time I’ll see her Maybe she’ll run to my arms and then We’ll start a story of love Just like the movies have done I’ll be the hero, you’ll be the other one 2. Someday, maybe a Sunday I will be waiting out by the trees Looking for love again Surrounded by sunbeams and flowers You will be walking alone and sad I’ll ask you why do you cry I’ll wipe the tears from your eyes And there starts a story CHORUS: It’s no surprise, I’m romantic Always dreaming out loud I know I’ll be disappointed when love catches me I’m expecting to see it like I dreamed it would be If not, I can see me looking for love again 3. So I’ll keep playing my stories Hoping that one day she’ll arrive Looking for love again Our hearts will tumble together Just how I wanted it all the time We’ll start a story of love Just like the movies have done I’ll be the hero CHORUS:

OLD MAN TOOLEY Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) Old man Tooley’s slowly walking down the road He’s going to the cemetery carrying a load It’s the body of his only son, shot and killed today Gunned down like a mangy dog by Two-Hand McGillivray The sun beats down as old Tooley digs a grave He takes off his hat and wipes his brow and waves the flies away He’s figured out a plan and he’s going for the kill He’ll track that man through forests and rivers and over hills CHORUS: Old man Tooley may be old and gray But never doubt his fortitude and stay out of his way Cause if you ever cross him, he’ll hunt you night and day He’ll look you in the eye before he takes your life away Old Tooley takes his time as he rides all day alone He stops to look at tracks and signs that tell him where to go He’s getting close, he feels it now, it won’t be long before He drops his hand and feels the grip and pulls his gun to draw The sun is rising, getting warm as Tooley waits outside A patient man for killing and he’s ready for this time Two-Hand comes out of the house, unaware he’s gonna die And old man Tooley walks right up and stares him in the eye CHORUS: Two-Hand quickly reaches down but Tooley’s way ahead He shoots him twice then three times more, the last one in the head For taking old man Tooley’s son in such a yellow way The old man’s showing him no mercy, not one bit today But Two-Hand fires a shot that hits old Tooley through and through Tooley looks down at his chest, and he’s a dead man too Slowly, slowly he falls down and stares up at the sky And as he takes his final breath, he tells his son goodbye So that’s the story that they tell to all young guns today ‘Bout old man Tooley, rest in peace, and Two-Hand ‘Gillivray Tooley kept his promise, got his man, and honoured his dead son But he paid the price for vengeance, now he’s also gone He’s gone, old Tooley’s gone, yes, he’s gone

THE WORLD OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW Words and music by Alan Jarvis (Copyright 2012) 1. If you look at the world outside your window You can see the places that you’ll go to One day you’ll be there in the world outside your window The world outside your window is waiting for you 2. You’ll wake each day and look out through your window To the world that’s out there turning, getting ready for you When you’re tall and strong you’ll open up your window And reach out to the people that are looking for you 3. I may be fast asleep when you start out on your journey When you visit all those places that are ready to explore You can see for miles when you look outside your window The world outside your window is calling to you
