Lyrics by jonno beach
Places We Can Grow
V1 We strutted down, our lovers isle
You raised me up above your ten-foot smile
Where have you gone, my dear?
Your shadows in your toxic fear
V2 and when did strength, mean using might?
Tell me how all we did, became a fight?
I want to understand
I’m Yearning the touch of your hand
B This is the place, we used to dance
A sanctuary filled with our romance
But in this place, have I lost you?
C Can I find the man I knew, I’d say hello
Can we build a PLACE WHERE WE CAN GROW?
Can you see me, cos I don’t know?
Can we go to a PLACE WHERE WE CAN GROW?
V3 Your strong facade, the mask you hide
I wanna love you and not suffer deride
We said equality
Not your toxic masculinity
V4 So tell me how, loves got so bitter?
I stand by you, because I’m not a quitter
And your pure heart, where has it gone?
I’m here in the dark, just trying to be strong
C Can I find the man I knew, I’d say hello
Can we build a PLACE WHERE WE CAN GROW?
Can you see me, cos I don’t know?
Can we go to a, PLACE WHERE WE CAN GROW?
OUTRO (grow ohh)
Growwwwwwww
Can grow
You raised me up above your ten-foot smile
Where have you gone, my dear?
Your shadows in your toxic fear
V2 and when did strength, mean using might?
Tell me how all we did, became a fight?

I’m Yearning the touch of your hand
B This is the place, we used to dance
A sanctuary filled with our romance
But in this place, have I lost you?

TALKING Him - Hey how you doin’?
On the Her - Yeh great
Phone & Him – That was a great weekend
Gets cut-off. Hello
Hello, can you hear me?
Bloody reception, hello
INTRO So if the line’s bombed out
6 This is my chance to shout
To say what I can’t say
Put my heart on display
VERSE 1 You, don’t know, but I hide from feelings to avoid getting hurt
15 If I’m pushed to be open, the alarm is a red alert
I get nervous if I start to like someone and I like you
If our call hadn’t cut off, I just wouldn’t be telling you
this at all, Ooh, Oh
CHORUS I CAN’T speak my mind, I just hide how I feel
11/13 I CAN’T look at you and tell you, that you make me real
And I CAN’T call to say, “Babe you’ve blown my mindâ€
And I CAN’T do love again, cos love it’s much maligned
But I want you
Yeh, I want you
But I just can’t say
I Want you
VERSE 2 Yes I know in my heart that I struggle, should articulate
15 I never expected you’d come along, do I deserve this fate?
Yes I know the past is just that and you were not that heartbreak
I know you’ve opened up and that nothing you say is fake, but
I must say, Ooh, Oh
CHORUS I CAN’T speak my mind, I just hide how I feel
11/13 I CAN’T look at you and tell you, that you make me real
And I CAN’T call to say, “Babe you’ve blown my mindâ€
And I CAN’T do love again, cos love it’s much maligned
But I want you
Yeh, I want you
But I just can’t say
I Want you
BRIDGE I know you’re sincere
And I know your right here
It’s just my anxiety
VERSE 3 I must find the right moment to share my vulnerability.
15 I wonder if you already sense that there’s something off with me
I don’t know how to tell you, how I suffer from anxiety
But I know somehow I must, in the hope that you want me, cos
I want you
OUTRO But I want you
Yeh, I want you

Oakleaf
V1 The role of hope, to love and cope
Help me live, just help the fight to survive
Gotta know I’ll survive
V2 Must revive, hope to thrive
Help me live, through my fear, made it
And I’m through another year
V3 Needing hope
Will make a start, so I can live and breathe
And believe
v4 and if I
need your strength so, can I lean on you?
To help me through
If I pursue
A path to find, a reason why, then
I must try

When I test her
Need hopes’ answers
To deliver and survive
Cos my faith hurts
Trust my hoping
A vision to thrive
To cope and feel alive

Cos my faith hurts
Trust my hoping
A vision, to thrive
To cope and feel alive
BRIDGE Thank my OAKLEAF, it’s there for me
With its vision, helps mentally
And when rain falls it’s my shelter
Transforms lives, faith it tests her
Hope’s not love, love’s not fear
OAKLEAF helps us year on year
V7 Hope comes to visit today
it comes to hold my hand and pray
and when you need to find some hope
you'll need to lean against an oak
and if nothing sturdy as an oak
find an OAKLEAF to help you cope
find a little OAKLEAF, old and wise
free your brain from all critical eyes
OUTRO So help- yes help
Is here- its here
Need love- need love
And care- and care

FALL
V1
The chestnuts are falling amongst the morning dew
my heart skips a beat as I'm falling, falling for you
you put Spring in my step, but the FALL is rolling in
as the wind begins to swirl, you turn me in a lovers spin
V2
Spin your love around me, in FALL I FALL for you
As the leaves drop from the trees, oh will you be my muse
Bob said, even birds aren’t free, as they’re chained to the sky
But if we can’t fly together, all my words will be a lie
CHORUS
This is my loving note
I wanna wrap my arms around you like a winter coat
Keep you warm, & protect you
Love you and respect you
FALL for you again each and every FALL
I want you as my ever girl
I’m falling for you in FALL, in FALL, yeh
So be my FALL forever gall, yeh
V3
The weather ever colder, the daylight cutting in
But our temperature is rising and my fire burns within
The nights are ever harder, the frosts are coming soon
I kiss your neck so softly, as I wrap around your spoon
I’m falling for your wonder; your moon it shines so bright
Our wants they fit together and are spoons they fit just right
V4
You heighten all my 5 senses
Lift my soul as I lower my defences
In the Autumn sun as the dew dries on the grass
Our love is here, our love is meant to last
Unlike the Autumn dew that will not last forever
We were always made; made to be together
CHORUS
Fall for you again each and every FALL
I want you as my ever girl
I’m falling for you IN FALL, IN FALL, yeh
Be my FALL forever gall, yeh
The chestnuts are falling amongst the morning dew
my heart skips a beat as I'm falling, falling for you
you put Spring in my step, but the FALL is rolling in
as the wind begins to swirl, you turn me in a lovers spin
V2
Spin your love around me, in FALL I FALL for you
As the leaves drop from the trees, oh will you be my muse
Bob said, even birds aren’t free, as they’re chained to the sky

PLAYING WITH FIRE
PLAYING WITH FIRE
(Verse 1)
Well, there I was, on burning coals
She was my flame, And still my goal.
sparks flying high, embrace her desire,
her path of passion, fuelled by inner fire.
(Pre-Chorus)
Can I walk on fire?, through the embers I tread,
its Burning my soul, she’s Fearless in bed.
Igniting my heart, with each step I climb,
the heat that she brings, will dance through time.
(Chorus)
I’m playing with fire
feeling her heat,
we move as one,
with a rhythm so sweet.
Embracing the flames,
she’s in my brain,
inferno she brings
it’s so insane.
(Verse 2)
I’m burning up, trying to stand tall,
Her presence marked, by Her clarion call.
She’s great in bed, And better on coals
The furnace of love, where legends unfold.
(Chorus)
I’m playing with fire
feeling her heat,
we move as one,
with a rhythm so sweet.
Embracing the flames,
she’s in my brain,
inferno she brings
it’s so insane.
(Bridge)
She’s burning me up, And taking control
Not letting me breathe, it’s taken hold
I’m letting her lead, Or I may fry
With scorching echoes, We'll touch the sky.
(Verse 3)
I’m walking the walk, In her furnace of fate,
I’m playing with fire, Her flames won’t abate.
Over that heat, Though I might expire,
But i found my way, to walk across fire.
(Chorus)
I’m playing with fire
feeling her heat,
we move as one,
with a rhythm so sweet.
Embracing the flames,
she’s in my brain,
inferno she brings
it’s so insane.
(Chorus) adapted
I’m playing with fire, through the embers I tread,
it’s Burning my soul, she’s Fearless in bed.
(Chorus)
I’m playing with fire
feeling her heat,
we move as one,
with a rhythm so sweet.
Embracing the flames,
she’s in my brain,
inferno she brings
it’s so insane.
(Outro)
Embracing the flames,
There’s no ceasefire,
inferno she brings
I’m playing with fire
(Verse 1)
Well, there I was, on burning coals
She was my flame, And still my goal.
sparks flying high, embrace her desire,
her path of passion, fuelled by inner fire.

I’m falling for your wonder; your moon it shines so bright
Our wants they fit together and are spoons they fit just right
V4
You heighten all my 5 senses
Lift my soul as I lower my defences
In the Autumn sun as the dew dries on the grass
Our love is here, our love is meant to last
Unlike the Autumn dew that will not last forever
We were always made; made to be together
CHORUS
Fall for you again each and every FALL
I want you as my ever girl
I’m falling for you IN FALL, IN FALL, yeh
Be my FALL forever gall, yeh
V1
The chestnuts are falling amongst the morning dew
my heart skips a beat as I'm falling, falling for you
you put Spring in my step, but the FALL is rolling in
as the wind begins to swirl, you turn me in a lovers spin
V2
Spin your love around me, in FALL I FALL for you
As the leaves drop from the trees, oh will you be my muse
Bob said, even birds aren’t free, as they’re chained to the sky
But if we can’t fly together, all my words will be a lie
CHORUS
This is my loving note
I wanna wrap my arms around you like a winter coat
Keep you warm, & protect you
Love you and respect you
FALL for you again each and every FALL
I want you as my ever girl
I’m falling for you in FALL, in FALL, yeh
So be my FALL forever gall, yeh
V3
The weather ever colder, the daylight cutting in
But our temperature is rising and my fire burns within
The nights are ever harder, the frosts are coming soon
I kiss you neck so softly, as I wrap around your spoon
I’m falling for your wonder; your moon it shines so bright
Our wants they fit together and are spoons they fit just right
V4
You heighten all my 5 senses
Lift my soul as I lower my defences
In the Autumn sun as the dew dries on the grass
Our love is here, our love is meant to last
Unlike the Autumn dew that will not last forever
We were always made; made to be together
CHORUS
Fall for you again each and every FALL
I want you as my ever girl
I’m falling for you IN FALL, IN FALL, yeh
Be my FALL forever gall, yeh
BUTTERFLY
BUTTERFLY
In voices soft, as wingbeats sigh, their secrets they'd conceive; Their fluttering wings, a tender song, a melody to believe; In hushed confessions, love's own creed, their secrets they'd repeat; A lovers' breath, their lips caress, a taste that is so sweet.
As heat ascends her ardent back, the little butterfly alights; Upon her ear, it softly rests, igniting gentle flights; Balmy breeze turns lovers' breath, a dance of sweet desire; She yields herself to passion's call, her heart a burning fire.
Yet swift as dreams in fleeting night, the butterfly takes flight; One moment's beauty, then it's gone, dissolved in liquid light; A symbol of your spirit, free, to choose its own grand way; Its wings, the rhythm of my heart, in whispers, they convey; Little butterfly, whisper in my ear, oh, tell me what you say; Your sound so soft and innocent, I'm lost in your display.
You really don't need a butterfly catcher; You deserve a man who is your match-up; You need a man who will lend his ear; Hold your hands and share your fears.
Oh, carefully one must listen for the flutter of her wings; For a free spirit, doth the beating heart ring. No desire to capture you, connection should we try?; My promise back to you is that I will also never make you cry. And one day forth should you choose again to fly; I'll recall our times fondly, for those thoughts shan't die.
Freedom to land on nobody's ear; Why take a risk if the risk's not clear? Could solitude be preferred; Or does her heart risk what her soul has deferred?
Come rest upon my waiting ear, let us share our hearts and fears; Our hearts entwine, yet ever soar, a love for all our years. In flight, our souls forever free, little butterfly doth flutter; I may not fully comprehend, the soft words that you utter. Can't believe this fate we've found, at our hallowed, sacred Ground; Little butterfly, come with me and we can make love our sound. Our hearts, like wings, together beat, in rhythm, they're entwined; A love so free, little butterfly, forever undefined

DON’T
DON’T A rhyming ballad about a man that really likes a woman but does not want to engage his emotions
VERSE 1
I don’t want to hold you
I don’t want to fold, cos you
Are turning my insides out
I don’t want to let you know
Or see my emotions grow
Cos its making me scream and shout
CHORUS
Cos all we said that this would be
Was our body’s pleasure, so get over me
And DON’T DON’T DON’T take more of me
And DON’T expect, where, expect shouldn’t be
VERSE 2
I don’t need anyone, just fine on my own
Its all up to me and I chose alone
The chase was eventful, your body is hot
But these feelings between us, they’ve just got to stop
CHORUS
Cos all we said that this would be
Was our body’s pleasure, so get over me
And DON’T DON’T DON’T take more of me
And DON’T expect, where, expect shouldn’t be
VERSE 3
So I don’t call, and you don’t call me,
But you’re in my head, I can’t get free.
I can’t stop thinking about you,
Taped into my mind, a constant review.
The sex, the way we connected
not just my soul, my heart unrested.
Your so tender, such fire, You’ve blow my mind,
I can’t pass you by, cos you’re one of a kind.

(OH) JUST COME BACK
(OH) JUST COME BACK
(Verse 1)
Babe, I’ll never come to terms with loosing you, you know
I treasure what we had, all the years, I am your beau
Oh, if we only knew of your turmoil and your pain,
We’d show even more love and cherish you, again and again,
Your smile, it could light up the darkest of night,
Your laughter so contagious, everything felt right.
(Chorus)
Oh, Just come back, won’t you hear our plea?
We never got the chance to say goodbye properly,
Tell you of your qualities, the love we have inside,
Your kind and tender heart, your spirit, you’ll always be my pride.
(Verse 2)
The room feels so empty, without your presence here,
We miss your silly jokes, your clever quips, so dear,
We wish we could’ve told you just how much you mean,
Your care and compassion, like a constant serene.
YOU came along, and turned my WORLD around,
Things were never the same, That’s what I found.
(Bridge)
Don’t you see, your absence leaves a void in our souls,
As Mr Cole said you’re Unforgettable; you make me whole,
I now know, just for sure, that you’re the girl (man) I need,
Every day with you a Perfect Day as penned by Mr Reed
(Chorus)
Oh, Just come back, won’t you hear our plea?
We never got the chance to say goodbye properly,
Tell you of your qualities, the love we have inside,
Your kind and tender heart, your spirit, you’ll always be my pride.
(Outro)
So here we stand, with tear-stained cheeks, we pray,
For you to find solace, if only you could, Just come back someday,
We’ll hold you close, remind you of your worth,
The beauty that resides within you since your birth.
I’ve Won the title, been so LUCKY, my little sunlight ray
I grabbed a pen to tell you, MY life just seems so grand, in every Way.
(Verse 3)
Just come back, dear friend, let us show you the way,
To a life filled with happiness, with love that will stay.
Bob wrote about the door in ‘73
Now that door’s come around for you & me
You’re not alone, we’re here, waiting with open heart,
Just come back, and we promise, we’ll never be apart.

Aliens OR Aliens are Coming
V1
Yeh, I met you in L.A passport hall control
You were chatty, charismatic, compliments he did extol
I told you I just got in from Vegas
You said you just landed from outa space
No fingerprint showed on your passport scanner
We both laughed, the officer said it didn’t matter
You smiled and looked straight into his fa-face
You said, “maybe cos I’m not from the human raceâ€.
V2
Is he syncing with me, does he read my mind
This guy can’t be human, he’s so bloody kind
You seem to know when I need your affection
Your put your arms around me if just as I feel rejection
You leave me love notes all about
And about what I was actually worrying about
I didn’t remember that I told you the stuff you mention
I somehow seem to have all his attention
CHORUS
Eurch - the aliens are coming, they’re bloody perfect
You get their full attention, full respect
Eurch - to all human men in our human race
I wanna travel in outa space
Eurch - to imperfection and no telepathy
He knows what I want and he gives it all to me
V3
You kiss me in all my right places
You lift me up with your embraces
You remember everything, I though that was my bag
You’re too perfect, can’t raise a red flag
On cold nights your body heat is my radiator
Are you from the human race or an alien traitor
I used to get moments of crazy anxiety
But you’re there to resolve my vulnerability
BOUNCE CHORUS
Gotta get on your space craft
Squeeze me on your life raft
Your abs just like granite
Take me, Take me, Take me to your planet
CHORUS
Eurch - the aliens are coming, they’re bloody perfect

Eurch - to all human men in our human race

V4
How did you know what I was worrying about?
You’re so bloody perfect, I’m gonna need time out
He’s my guided missile with motorised head

You know what I’m thinking, hear what everyone says
Your so sweet with me & you got your crazy ways
Every night’s a holiday when his key goes in my door
