Guns and God [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
Guns And God Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Take a look at the million crosses Planted in the field Take a look at the streets around you And tell me what's the deal For so many there's a battle raging on And they'll never rest in peace until it's won Guns and God are forever Guns and God Just remember You're never going to know this world without 'em Guns and God, oh yeah Raise your fist and salute your forces And crush your enemy Make 'em pay for the pain you've suffered For all the hurt you've seen They deserve to be escorted straight to hell So feel justified and know that you've done well Guns and God are forever Guns and God Just remember You're never going to know this world without 'em Guns and God, oh yeah The bell tolls for the fallen hero Lying on the ground Night falls and the skies all light up Better pray you'll not go down Is it too late to turn this thing around? Guns and God are forever Guns a...

The Good Catches Up [Lawrence Gowan]

The Good Catches Up Written by Lawrence Gowan, Eddie Schwartz Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan I've passed through many senseless days And squandered love a thousand ways Taken anger everywhere I go Been quick to hurt, but healed so slow But for every time I lent a hand The angels played some Dixieland With every hug, and every kiss Another hurt dropped off the list Sometimes it was harder, and it took me longer At times I was weak, but I always got stronger 'Cause sure as fire someday the good catches up If I give it time the good catches up It's not that far behind the good catches up With every act of love the good catches up The good catches up Yes it does The good catches up With every act of love When I care enough Good catches up You don't need a PhD To understand these things you see All the love that was never found Well it's still around, yeah, it's still around Sometimes it's harder, and it may take longer Sometimes I'm week, but I'll only ge...

I'll Be There In A Minute [Lawrence Gowan]

I'll Be There In A Minute Written by Lawrence Gowan, Eddie Schwartz Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Dandelion keep on growin' Grass high could use some mowin' Wonder what the drive-in's showing Sun beatin', heat keep risin' Hazy afternoon horizon Screen door just let the fly in If you ain't got much to do Want a little you know who Call me up I promise you I'll be there in a minute Lemonade in tall cool glasses Air thick like black molasses Perfect day for private classes Chocolate meltin' in a sweetbox Hotter than a hooker's street talk And all I'm wearin' are my Reeboks If you ain't got much to do Want a little you know who Call me up I promise you I'll be there in a minute I won't move for much at all 'Less I hear your beck'n call If you got some time to kill If you got a slot to fill You know I swear I will, I will, I will I'll be there in a minute If you ain't got much to do Want a little you know who Call m...

Laura [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
Laura Written by Lawrence Gowan, Eddie Schwartz Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan The dull parade, domestic scene She makes a meal of toast and beans today The soaps play on her TV screen A mundane way to wash her dreams away And so she looks ahead another year Terrified to see that she's still here Laura lives the straight life She plays the good wife at home But Laura thinks there's more to this life Wants to make a dream of her own She holds her book on Paul Goaguin And sees herself paint distant lands someday She wonders how the day would look If this dreary veil was torn away If one night he should stumble through the door To find she doesn't live here anymore Laura lives the straight life She plays the good wife at home But Laura thinks there's more to this life Wants to make a dream of her own In some warm exotic place She'll dance naked to the waist Paint reclining dark skinned men Seduce them now and then Oh, Laura One lonely, yellow, autumn leaf Clings to a ba...

Get It While You Can [Lawrence Gowan]

Get It While You Can Written by Lawrence Gowan, Eddie Schwartz Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Time waits for no one and neither will she Takes a man to admit that he finally sees Love's a much too precious thing to waste And this world can be a lonely place It don't come easy, reach out with both hands Don't be scared boy, stand up like man It's love she's giving, better get it Get it while you can She can see by your eyes that you're in doubt So before it's too late, better work this thing out Don't look back in 20 years and say "Why did I ever let you slip away" It don't come easy, reach out with both hands Don't be scared boy, stand up like man It's love she's giving, better get it Get it while you can Every man must take the bad with the good And find a love to make him, all that he could Stop denying that she's everything you need Love's a much too precious thing to waste And this world can be a lonely place It don...

Cyberbabes [Lawrence Gowan]

Cyberbabes Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Here they come again All so beautiful If they wanted to They could rule the world And here I'll sit silently fantasizing Carried on these waves of ecstasy The Cyberbabes are coming Cyberbabes are coming The Cyberbabes are coming Just for me I don't want to think I don't have to know If it's not for real I'll just enjoy the show I can't debate the moral values at the moment I'm too enraptured by the things I see The Cyberbabes are coming Just for me And everything's so wonderful Everything's so sensual So sexual... Here they come And here I sit silently fantasizing Carried on these waves of ecstasy The Cyberbabes are coming Just for me

Pigeon [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
Pigeon Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Once upon a time in another jungle Everyone jumped when they heard your name Everything was done just to try and please you Cause everywhere you looked it was all your game But look around and see your world today All the rules have changed And you got lost along the way And now you're down with the common pigeon There's nothing special about you You had it all but you let it fall Now we'll get on better without you So run along before I get my gun... Pigeon Remember when you were young and mighty That wasn't so many years ago Swooping down like an awesome eagle On an unsuspecting world below And I was just an ordinary boy Looking up with wide-eyed wonder At the giants you could destroy And now you're down with the common pigeon There's nothing special about you You had it all but you let it fall Now we'll get on better without you So run along before I get my gun... Pigeon Isn't it ironic ho...

Put It Where the Love Don't Shine [Lawrence Gowan]

Put It Where The Love Don't Shine Written by Lawrence Gowan, Eddie Schwartz Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Nasty things are growing in the garden Evil weeds are choking out the light But I ain't gonna shiver in the darkness Running out of luck, Running out of time Running out of fight Gonna get back to the source Take this wondrous force And put it where the love don't shine Love is like a flower With a million watts of power Put it where the love don't shine Anywhere the love don't Put it where the love don't shine I've seen the serpent creeping on his belly Laughin' 'bout all the joy he stole Time to chase him back into his pit now Into his hole Into his hole Reclaim my soul Gonna get back to the source Take this wondrous force And put it where the love don't shine Love is like a flower With a million watts of power Put it where the love don't shine Anywhere the love don't Put it where the love don't shine

You'll Be With Me [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
You'll Be With Me Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Now I must leave But before I do For the parting shot Let me look at you You've known my mind More than anyone When all else has passed This will linger on You'll be somewhere In that place where I'll be going You will always Be beside me without knowing Every moment you'll be with me Every moment you'll be with me Life isn't fair You'll hear people say Everyone you love Time will take away But save all your tears This is not good-bye Some things cannot change Some things cannot die You'll be somewhere In that place where I'll be going You will always Be beside me without knowing Every moment you'll be with me Every moment you'll be with me
