LYRICS:

TRACK 1
Always Here For You
Words & Music by Bob Paltrow
©2013 Bob Paltrow

Do you remember when
I was down and out
reduced to crawl upon my knees
along the edge of a precipice — twisting in the breeze
I’m bleeding out — I’ve got my doubts
I cannot breathe
I do believe this is the end — sure could use a friend, yeah

Days go by so fast — time’ll fool ya
Days go by so slow ya know — take a little time
Days go by so fast — I never get enough of you
Always there for me
I’m always here for you
Embrace me with your melody
Erase that hurt from your memory
I’m always here for you

This is the end of the beginning of the end
Where heaven goes to hell — and no man dares to dwell
The mountains we will climb — and the fires we will fight
The darkness we will light — till the dark is out of sight

CHORUS

Sometimes i think i feel it coming
The sound of footsteps running running
Its all wrong and its all right
Shadows intersect the light
Together we face the future
Write your fate to suit ya
Don’t let life just bull you over
Lucky day we’re burning clover

CHORUS

TRACK 2
To The Body
Words & Music by Bob Paltrow
©2013 Bob Paltrow

Oh here I am home all alone thinking of you so I pick up the phone
I call you up you answer ‘hello’ I said ‘shall we dance?’ you said ‘yeah, man let’s go!’
hop in the car take you real far can’t wait to dance and feel your body
1 to the body – 2 to the body – 3 to the body my baby’s on fire (2x)
(my baaaaaby’s on fiiiiire)
oh, look at the clock its time to go time to rock time to roll
taking you home we’ll stop for beer then a party for 2 just you and me dear
wait – hold – still stand in the light you really do it to me when you move your body
1 to the body – 2 to the body – 3 to the body my baby’s on fire (2x)
(my baaaaaby’s on fiiiiire)

TRACK 3
Heavenly Body
Words & Music by Bob Paltrow
©2013 Bob Paltrow

I was born a man — so I will play the sun
you’re the daughter of a mother — so you can be the earth
I resolve to revolve — and shine a light so bright
while you spin all around me — doing revolutions

CHORUS
Move your Heavenly Body (4x)

Girl I’ve gotta ask this do you get dizzy when you twirl on your axis?
you’re always so bizzy . . .there’s so much space betweeeen us
mercury is rising and I can see your venus
Move you Heavenly Body (4x)
We are bound together — Its a matter of course
A physical attraction — centrifugal force
you – will -al-ways – be – free
I – will -al-ways – be – right – here – for – you

CHORUS

[line]

TRACK 4
Bad Girl Good Girlfriend
Words & Music by Bob Paltrow
©2013 Bob Paltrow

purr like a kitten — strut like a panther
totally smitten — with my little devil dancer
take me for a joy ride — book that trip
she got a dirty little mind — she ain’t gonna change it

CHORUS
she’s a bad girl — she’s a good girlfriend
she’s a bad, bad girl — she’s a good girlfriend

its like there’s no tomorrow — day after day
she wants it all now — and there ain’t no other way
she’s my life — sometimes life’s a bitch
kitty’s got claws — come ‘n scratch my itch

CHORUS

she got a mouth on her — I’d like to kiss those lips
spin me like a record — ’til my heart skips skips skips
can’t get her off my mind
she got a dirty little mind — and I don’t wanna change it

CHORUS – fade

Dalai Lama

I really do dig the Dali Lama — I really do dig him, yeah
I really dig the Dali Lama — I really do dig him, yeah

’cause he’s a Funky Monk
he’s a Funky Monk – he’s a Funky Monk – he’s a Funky Monk
Funky Monk

Well, he’s cool with the Karma – Down with the Dharma
He’s so chill — He’d never harm ya, He’s the Dali Lama . . .

I really do dig the Dali Lama — I really do dig him, yeah
I really dig the Dali Lama — I really do dig him, yeah

’cause he’s a Funky Monk
he’s a Funky Monk – he’s a Funky Monk – he’s a Funky Monk
Funky Monk

Call him on the telephone — Just press Star
I got his number in my heart — So dial up That funky monk
holler:
Bliss out boy

Om Bop-she-bop Om Bodhisatva — Om Bop-she-bop Om Bodhisatva

TRACK 6
Kick Ass All Day Make Love All Night
Words & Music by Bob Paltrow
©2013 Bob Paltrow

There’s a monster under my bed
he’s a little green man named ‘fred’
he’s pretty pimpin’ with his velvet threads
he’s like medusa with the knotty dreads

he put the fear of god in my head
said he’s just tryin’ to build some cred
we laugh and fight — scratch and claw
what a wondeful life — gotta rise above it all

kick ass all day make love all night
kick ass all day make love all night
why can’t we make love all night . . .

There’s a monster in my head
He’s hungry and he wants to be fed
I gave him wine and I shared my bread
and this is what the monster said:
you put the joy of love, in my head . . .
my days of woe are done and dead
we laugh and fight — scratch and claw
what a wondeful life — gotta rise above it all

kick ass all day make love all night
kick ass all day make love all night
why can’t we make love all night . . .

I was feelin’ all a-twitter now
I know you can relate
I’m on my iphone on the shitter
here’s my status update
I posted pictures from the party
that we had down by the lake
what a decadent affair
oh the comments it will rate
I thought I had it covered with
my privacy setting
the shit’s so complicated
there’s somethin’ I’m forgetting
the picture that I posted
now I am regretting
i think it mighta cost me
the job i should be getting
I got references yo

LMAO – that’s how I roll
L-M-A-O
LMAO – that’s how I roll

TRACK 8
Brooklyn
Words & Music by Bob Paltrow
©2013 Bob Paltrow

Listen to this song I wrote for you, just for you
and I hope its a song you will love to hear
If I had but one wish I would wish upon a star
that no matter where you are you will always feel loved
If I had a second wish I would wish that I
could dance with you all night til the morning light

I love a blue sky – this is a good life – I love you Brooklyn
I love a blue sky – this is a good life – I love you Brooklyn
Let me say it once again – I hope this love will never end
Let me say it once again – I hope this love will never end

Like an autumn leaf I tumble down float around
from the sky to the ground where I lay at your feet
hope you pick me up and see that I remind you of
a growing love that will shine like the summer time sun

I’m on your side streets right up your alley
I’ve got your address trying to get home again
I love your mountains I love your valleys
you are a river taking me back home again
hope this love will never end
Let me say it once again I hope this love will never end

I’m on your side streets right up your alley
I’ve got your address trying to get home again
I love your mountains I love your valleys
you are a river taking me back home again

I love a blue sky – this is a good life
I love you Brooklyn
