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
