Cocoa Butter Baby Dave Tucker
When it gets hot in the summer time
the moon gets high, sets the town on fire
we all run down to that stomp and shout
and sing sing the night away
when it gets hot in the summer time
the moon gets high, sets the town on fire
we all get down at the stomp and shout
and dance dance the night away
spent all day where the street signs end
with my coco butter baby
my little sun tanned friend
now its time to celebrate and shout
(like moth to flame we dance X2)
like moth to flame we dance the night away____ yea____

Simple Dave Tucker
Bent Knees hanging feet from the edge of her bed
I lie quietly watching the curve of her back
morning ritual now including me
can someone tell me please
(why I've never known x2)
Simple kind of love x3
what you and I got it's so simple
back beat dancing round the coffee table
spiced rum our bare feet we orbit closer
singing songs how we sing so well in harmony
can someone tell me please
(why I've never known x2)
Simple kind of love x3
what you and I got it's so simple
It might take years
some say it can take a lifetime
to get down that guard
and to think you and I we just stumbled into___
Simple kind of love x3
what you and I found it's so simple

Slidin Backwards _ Dave Tucker & Abe Parker
I've saddled up rode outta town more than my fair share
ain't no way to live a life but I don't seem to care
so let's all now be honest as you stand around and stare
I'm gettin outta town before that chill is in the air
Burnin second chances seems it's why I go
cause it's time to face your ends once you stare em toe to toe
I knew I had it coming cause it's always me to blame
Gettin outta town before I loose my own good name
loose my own good name ___ Must be slidin backwards x3
dirty little secrets things we'd never say
my chance at your forgiveness well I saw it wash away
and yeah this may be runnin and yer heart may turn to stone
no matter who surround you you'll find yourself alone...
find yourself alone _____ must be slidin backwards x3
guitar lick----> must be slidin backwards x3
standin on the edge of all
the things that I've been waitin on
watch me as I let it slip away
let it slip away....

So Far Away

So Far Away Dave Tucker & Ted Wulfers
We were children with big ideas
eyes wide open all streaming through our ears
we had cans for kicking how we skinned our knees
snakes and ladders just rolling where we please
we were young___ Only just begun x2
Summer sprinklers how they slip away
out the back door we get lost along the way
we had tire-swings and tree forts reachin higher
topping branches lord wishin we could fly
we were young____ Only just begun x2
so far away no from where I'm from
so far away now from home
so far away now from where I've been
so far away now from home
marking time with our heights behind the door
sneak out slinking with bare toes upon floor
big wheels and cap guns Vinyl records spin around
I traded in my toys for guitars and making sound
we were so young_____ Only just begun x2

Arctica Dave Tucker & Dave Tucker
wanted men for a hazardous adventure
bitter cold and oh the darkness at the bottom of the world
no safe return your wages can't be squandered
bu honor and glory if by fate we do succeed
and were all in this together
no one makes it out alone
by endurance we will conquer
when we reach the shores of home
a day away almost to destination
the ice rose fast freezing to our hull
for 15 months we watched her slowly sinking
our leaders strength its sure to save us all
and were all in this together
no one makes it out alone
by endurance we will conquer
when we reach the shores of home
Our hopes were high in such a dire situation
its one in all and all for one clinging to the glory
but bigger still weve seen the naked soul of man
I will not rest until every sailor's safely home
and were all in this together
no one makes it out alone
by endurance we will conquer
when we reach the shores of home

P.S. I Kill You

PSIKY Dave Tucker & James Mullally
Light a candle burn a chair
just choose some way to show you care
about that love thats burnin up inside
with wider brush you paint in sound
those heavy things that pull you down and swallow up the love light in your eyes
you're broken Im heartless
weve suffered through regardless
youre oil and Im water
just another tuesday slaughter
(ps I kill you.... X2)
hungry tired weary and weak
I stand before the pressed and neat
having walked the streets alone to find I am
you bend and break
you scream and shake
you know this was our last mistake and
baby this is the end...
youre broken Im heartless
weve suffered through regardless
youre oil and Im water
just another tuesday slaughter
(ps i kill you x2)
why bother why bother
constantly pursue each other x2
(chorus doubled...
ending:
light a candle
burn a chair
just choose some way to show you care
about that love that's burning up inside.

Sing to Me Dave Tucker
Head Strong and masked
this fight will soon pass
thoughts burn in your eyes
set aside your pride
and breathe____
This way or that?
I wait in the silence for the words you lack
shadow your lead
behind you and on through the dark
or will she____
sing to me her heart x2
opened with the melody of love
sing to me her heart
fragile and weak
try not to repeat
mistakes from our former loves
when will we get by these things
oh I hope she will____
sing to me her heart x2
opened with the melody of love
sing to me her heart
this time its different
this time it changes
this time I hope she will
this time I know she will
sing to me her heart x2
opened with the melody of love
sing to me her heart

Turnin Dave Tucker & Ted Wulfers
No hands above
she spins alone
tracing circles
with her slippered toes
she dances to the color of my sound
every time I sing I lay her down
the only time I play this ____ town
is when turnin comes around
turn turning turns around x3____
hidden away and high above
she bides her time
though wind-swept lovers come to play
how she slips away
she dances to the color of my sound
every time I sing I lay her down
the only time I play this ____ town
is when turnin comes around
2 turn turning turns around x3____
tag: the only time I play this ____ town
is when turnin comes around
solo: A ----->
turn turing turnin around x3
tag the only time I play this ragged town
(is when turnin comes around x3)
needs arranging...

Whisper Dave Tucker
Last night I had that other dream about you
the one in which you're always coming home
you come up from behind me
open arms you wrap around me
then you tip up on your toes
and you whisper in my ear
whisper in my ear
Well I found a way to get over send it on and pack it off
but still you haunt my bed at night and Im dying to get off
this trains it's been running circles round my noisy head
how I hate it so when you lean in close
and you whisper in my ear
so soft and near
whisper in my ear
I always held ya too damn dear
well 1:15 or 5 am it doesn't matter any more
I got no hook to hang my jeans on no more shoes upon your floor
my outstretched arm over empty bed as I lie awake at night
sure as hell knows whats missing and it knows it isn't right
your whisper in my ear
you roll in soft and near
held ya so damn dear
when you whispered in my ear
yeah ya hey no more
no no no no more
yea ya hey nor more
no non no no more
whisper in my ear
whisper in my ear
you know you were so damn dear to me
whisper in my ear ____X....?

Merely Men Dave Tucker
Bring it back
Please me teach
Found then lost
oh but I failed to reach it
Gaunlet swings now I descend
And all my faults they rise up again
when comes the day ____
when comes the day I'm free
So we come to find again
that the sons of sons are merely men
and temptation lends in powered love
and so we've come to find again
that the sons of sons we are all but men
and the big wheel it turns round
and round and round and round and round again
Demons call hissing teeth
What darkness lies far underneath
Pass and fade those distant shores
My inocense was lost now how about yours?
when comes the day ____
when comes the day that I breathe free
and so we come to find again
that the sons of sons we are merely men
and temptation lends in powered love
and so we've come to find again
that the sons of sons we are all but men
and the big wheel it turns round
and round and round and round and round again

? Dave Tucker
Love it seems no easy way for the joining up of hearts
were loneliness the dark of night you'd be my morning star
standin neath a question mark that curls up to the sky
had some time for pondering looking on the inside
hopin you'll come answer me
free me from what binds
hopin you'll come answer me
answer me in kind
reaching out a hand to be the bridge it formed so fast
from loneliness to happiness foundations sure to last
hopin you'll come answer me
free me from what binds
hopin you'll come answer me
answer me in kind
I know she'll come back around
searchin with those brightest eyes
who knows what might be found
hidden 'hind those eyes___
hopin you'll come answer me
free me from what binds
hopin you'll come answer me
answer me in kind
