KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF HANNAH (brent bishop)

Keep your hands off Hannah
Keep your hands from me
Keep your hands off Hannah
You can forget this town
and stay away from me

You never once said sorry
You never once said please
You never once said sorry,
never once said thank you,
you never cared for me

so now you’re gone
so long
as long as you’re gone
i’ll be free

So take your tarot with you
Take your necromancy
Take all your evil omens
Every Bad Luck Charm
And all your chicken feet

You made the cards believe you
You stacked the deck on me
You drew the King of Diamonds
and the Ace of Spades
Against a Club-Foot Queen

so now you’re gone
so long
as long as you’re gone
i’ll be free

THE CIRCUS (paige)

I promised you a letter in the mail
I promised you a letter in the mail
I promised you a letter in the mail
And I swear you're going to get it
When I escape from the jail

I swear you'll hear it in this here song
I swear you'll hear it in this here song
I swear you'll hear it in this here song
You'll see how I see
That I have done you wrong

Cause I've been burning the candle at both ends
I've been burning the candle at both ends
I've been burning the candle at both ends
And I can't tell anymore where my day begins

But if you grab my hands when I'm flying through the air
If you grab my hands when I'm flying through the air
If you grab my hands when I'm flying through the air
I won't have to pretend that there's someone there

Cause I've been walking a wire, a very thin tight rope
I've been walking a wire, a very thin tight rope
I've been walking a wire, a very thin tight rope
And I need the circus that's underneath me
to help me cope

I promised you a letter in the mail
I promised you a letter in the mail
I promised you a letter in the mail
And I swear you're going to get it
When I escape from the jail

LONELY NIGHTIMES (brent bishop & paige)

It's been a long time
Since I've had time
Or do I need time
Alone at all

Because it takes time
Just to make time
I'm not in my right mind
Anymore

Lonely Nightimes
The telephone lines
Are dead and I find I
Don't want to be alone

I hear no knock at the door
Got the blues on the 4th Floor
In this dim-lit apartment,
Can't take anymore
Can't take anymore

Loneliness don't please me
Why can't this be easy for me?
Lonely Nightimes, the phone lines
are dead and I find I
Don't want to be a-

Loneliness leave me
This should be easy for me
There's just no reason
for somebody like me to be
all on their own and alone

I don't want to be alone

WON'T YOU TAKE ME HOME (brent bishop)

Been down-hearted, feelin' sorry
For myself and my sad story
One more thing,
Please throw this dog a bone.

Sweetie, please, accept me dearie
I'm sincerely way-worn weary
Ain't so very much,
Just pick up the phone

Won't you take me home
Won't you save my soul
Won't you take me home
I'm so alone

Oh you know the road is paved
In old men's sad, washed up parades
I just tried
To keep my suitcase full

My mind was lonesome and frayed
I missed my perfect picture frame
Cause with the picture frame
My heart you stole

Won't you take me home (leave me alone)
Won't you save my soul (i told you no)
Won't you take me home (you're on your own)
I'm so alone

Won't you take me home (leave me alone)
Won't you save my soul (you've got to go)
Won't you take me home (leave me alone)
I'm so alone (no!)

(scat)

I'm stoned and I got a head-cold
And i'm recollecting oh such lovely scenes
Like speaking on the telephone,
Meeting my just lovely rovi leigh,
leetle deetle dee dee, leetle leetle dee dee
Don't you think my mind's been broke
I'm stoned, even with my eyes closed
I'm seeing our rowing boat on three:

(stroke, stroke, stroke, aaah!)
(scat)

All the little fishies in the sea,
And all the little birdies fly to me
And every single thing was designed
To sing about you and I

(Ha-choo! he's stoned and he got a head-cold
And so he's spending every evening singing low
Underneath the dark skies
Peeping out of his brown eyes
Aaah!)

I'm stoned and I got a head-cold
And my minds been to-totally free
Dreamin' 'bout the old times
And how we're gonna spend our every evening
(scat)

FLOWERS FOR EVERYONE (brent bishop)

Flowers for everyone, everyone but me
Flowers and musical chairs
And you like a blind man, go walking past me
And me like a fool, standing there

So funny I laugh, so sad I cry
So bad I give up instead
And she, like a spider, alone in her web
And you like a fly caught in there

And you, you will get yours
It''s only a matter of time
You, you will get yours
And I, I will get mine.

So sorry to see it coming to be
You could have been so happy, my friend
But I'd rather be alone in my grief
Than to have my heart torn out again

And you, you will get yours
It''s only a matter of time
You, you will get yours
And I, I will get mine.

You were just so careless,
Your love becomes despair
And finally you'll think of me,
In love and war, it all is fair.

And you, you will get yours
It''s only a matter of time
You, you will get yours
And I, I will get mine.

A MINOR TANGO - instrumental (brent bishop)

REALLY BEEN FINE MYSELF (brent bishop)

I've really been fine myself
but I think I love her
Yes, I love her
My softly-spoken one

I've really been fine myself
but I think I love her
And I hold her up above
just as the moon beguiles the sun

Honey-tongue

TANGO SINIESTRO - instrumental (brent bishop)

SEE YOU NEXT TIME AROUND (brent bishop)

Every day I sing the blues
Sad and lonely, so confused, well
Once again, you put me down
I'll see you next time around

But every time I see you
I can't believe you'd do this to me
I know it must be easy
To break my heart and leave me
Standing here all alone in misery, well

Same old song, there's nothing new
My broken heart is rusted out with disuse, well
Without a word you left this town
I'll see you next time around

But every time I see you,
I can't believe you'd do this to me
There's just no doubt about it
I'm better off without ya
But mama don't want no other fish in the sea, well

When love was new, oh how I'd criticize
But now you're gone I sit alone here and cry
It seems my heart beats a lonely sound
I'll see you next time around.
I'll see you next time around.
I'll see you next time around.

BROKEN (paige)

He said he was broken
It had all come down to this
Said he was out of tokens
He found himself behind a white picket fence
He lost track of time
Took the back seat with his heart of gold
Always chasing a rhyme
Trying to let go of that something
You just cannot hold

He said he was broken
He just couldn't do it anymore
Had to drop to the ground
In order to kiss the sky
You gotta kiss the floor
He lost track of time
Took the back seat with his heart of gold
Always chasing a rhyme
Trying to let go of that something
You just cannot hold

When I'm broken I tend to walk these city streets
and watch the world walk by
Duck into a dark corner, bury myself under this
hat and coat and tie
I look my best and I wonder
Who's like me and lost track of time
I can't help but wonder
Who's like me and always chasing a rhyme
and trying to let go of that something
You just cannot hold

But you know I forgive you
So long as you could forgive me too
Cause it takes two to tango
I'm sure it was as much me as it was you
think we lost track of time
took the back seat with our hearts of gold
Chasing a rhyme
Trying to let go of that something
You just cannot hold
We lost track of time
took the back seat with our hearts of gold
Chasing a rhyme

DUEL (brent bishop)

The moon lost behind the sun
He's gone, he's gone
A new love forever more
What for? What for?

Everything I ever did was
never right and never heard
Pushed aside and pushed along with
every thought and every word
Kept inside a box and left
without a sound and out a sight
Forced to play a role where she's the
Queen of Day and I'm the night
Forced into a life where there is
never love and always war
Pushed until the breaking point is
broken up and thrown upon the floor

Brent Bishop songs

YEAR OF THE SUN

The Year of the Sun
Come July, everybody's gone
Fear is on the run
Sinking suspicions
Have lingered some

There, guitar in hand,
By the cycle stands
Denny Harbon
There, overrun with weeds
Baseball diamond greens
in the sky, machines

Here we've just begun
Season's come and season's gone
Fear is on the run

The Year of the Sun
Come July, everybody's gone

SAFE FROM THE FLOCK

We should walk along unhurried
Safe from all the fires left burning
Things they'd never mark upon the map

We should sleep as safe as secrets
Safe beyond the wildest reaches
of things that have been known for an attack

We should keep it all
Safe from the Flock

See the clothes don't ever dry
See the babe don't bother crying
Cause once you start you cannot ever stop

Worries waste away the morrow
Wrap a perfect face in sorrow
Stick a neck upon the chopping block

We should keep it all
Safe from the Flock

WITCH OF THE WINDS

Yes, Yes My love,
Now the morning has come
Get up My love,
Now we must be moving on

We gotta catch the tailwind
Gotta get to getting off
Quick while the wind's prevailing
Smooth Sailing us

Smooth Sailing
Prevailing Us
Smooth Sailing
Entailing Us

No Ailments
Derailing Us
Unfailing
Derailmentless

Smooth Sailing
