Dangerous
(J. Sule /G.Rogers)
Verse 1
Dressed in red to match his car
She asked if he was going far
He couldn’t quite believe his eyes
A girl like that would want to ride
Drive on said his inner voice
But found he couldn’t make that choice
She tossed her bag onto the seat
And followed it in one smooth leap
Pre-Chorus: Don’t slow down – just carry on
Don’t slow down just carry on (but she was)
Chorus: Giving him a real good feeling, yeah
Giving him a real good feeling, she was
Giving him a real good feeling
Things were just about, to – Get a little – DANGEROUS
Verse 3
He found himself in new terrain
With the girl who didn’t give her name
The road began to twist and turn
The rubber on his tyres burned
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Verse 4
He took a curve at breakneck speed
She egged him on with urgent need
He felt the car lose some control
Felt himself lose all control
Pre-chorus: Don’t slow down – just carry on
Don’t slow down just carry on (And she was)
Chorus

Surfing in the rain
(J.Sule/G.Rogers)
Verse 1
Summer rain was falling when I went out walking
Tide was riding high on the beach that day
Summer rain was falling when I saw you surfing
Riding into shore through the ocean spray
Suddenly I caught your eye, Right before I saw you smile
Suddenly I caught your eye …
Chorus
Lightning flashed right through my dazzled eyes..... when I looked at you
Thunder rolled my heart from side to side....when I looked at you
There ...surfing in the rain
Verse 2
Rising from the foaming sea just like Poseidon
Water flowing down round your chiseled form
Rising from the foaming sea the waves dividing
Stirring up a feeling like a thunderstorm
Suddenly…
Chorus
Verse 3
Autumn leaves were falling when I went out walking
Down the narrow aisle on our wedding day
Winter snow was falling when our child was birthing
Entering the world at the break of day
Suddenly …
Chorus

Beam me up Scotty
(J. Sule / G.Rogers)
When daily life has got me bound
And nothing much is going down
Here – or anywhere
The only thing that turns me round
Lifts my sights right off the ground
Is there – beyond the atmosphere
Pre-chorus
Who really knows what’s happening in outer space? (Is there)
Room for a human who’s tired of the human race?
Chorus
Beam me up Scotty – take me to outer space
Beam me up Scotty take me away from this place
Verse 2
(There’s) Worlds out there in outer space
None would say were common-place
Up there – beyond the stratosphere
They hang there with no props or brace
Suspended there with poise and grace
Like stars – in the films back here
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Outro
Worlds keep turning
Stars are burning
Worlds keep turning
Stars are burning

La-La Land
I’m feeling all uneasy
My stomach’s feeling queasy
I’m jumpy and I’m edgy
Like a cat on a hot, tin roof
I’m feeling like I miss you
Even when I’m with you
Sometimes when I kiss you
It feels like you’re not even in the room, you’re
Chorus
Far away in la-la land dreaming all your dreams
Far away in la-la land scheming all your schemes
Stay here with me boy and be my dream
My touches fail to please you
You turn away and freeze me
It’s hard now to believe you
Every time that you say you care
I’m paranoid and lonely
You know I want you only, but
You’re acting kinda phony
My heart says that you don’t care, you’re
Chorus
I’m listening to your voicemails
I’m reading all your emails
I sift through every detail
To see where it is that you might go
I’m driving every by-way
I’m searching every driveway
I know it’s not the right way
Forgive me, boy, but I can’t let go
Chorus
You’re far away…

Jury’s Out
I hear what you say and you sound so believable
I watch as you speak and you’re looking so agreeable
I think what you say is almost conceivable – yeah
But something is not ringing true.
You back what you say with all kinds of evidence
Your wording is strong and shows signs of brilliance
But clear as it seems there’s no sign of penitence – yeah
And something is not ringing true
Chorus
Can you prove beyond all doubt
That she’s not the one that this is about?
Can you prove beyond all doubt
I am the one you can’t live without? – Oh yeah
Just telling me it’s true
Don’t mean that it’s the truth
You want me to trust in your highest fidelity
But worry and angst have been my reality
The lines on my brow are scored there indelibly – yeah
Cos something is not ringing true
Chorus
Now I can see on cross-examination that
You don’t believe in your own declaration, for
I can perceive a small hesitation, oh yeah
And something is not ringing true
Chorus
Can you prove beyond all doubt
That she’s not the one that this is about?
Can you prove beyond all doubt
I am the one you can’t live without? – Oh yeah
Just telling me it’s true
Don’t mean that it’s the truth
Am I the one you can’t live without? – oh yeah
Just telling me it’s true
Don’t mean that it’s the truth

Caroline
(J.Sule/G.Rogers)
Verse 1
She sang a story I thought was mine
A different place and a different time – Ooh
About Caroline
She sang about one long car ride
Music blaring, nowhere to hide – ooh
From her Caroline
Chorus
And it stirred up a feeling
Time had covered in dust
And I thought she was stealing…
A memory from my past
Verse 2
That song knocked me off guard
Recollections – hitting me hard – Ooh
Driving my old car
The Caroline of my dim past
Accused me of treating her bad – ooh
Her words strong and harsh
Chorus
And it stirred up a feeling
Time had covered in dust
Of the friendship that ended
On that drive in my car
Bridge
How can it be her story was mine?
How can it be my story was hers?
Hands wet on the steering wheel
From tears falling unrestrained
Holding tight to the steering wheel – with tears falling – tears falling
She sang a story I thought was mine
A different place and a different time – Ooh
About Caroline
Chorus

Good things happen
(J. Sule/G.Rogers)
Verse 1
I want to teach my lips to smile
When I’m feeling down
I want to cause my brows to rise
When they’re in a frown
A smile works best when from the heart
That I understand
But when I’m finding that’s too hard
I fake it till I can, cos
Chorus
Good things happen when you smile
Try it and you’ll see
Good things happen when I smile
Somebody smiles at me!
Verse 3
Sunshine, flowers and sweet perfume
Lift my spirits high
Coffee, too, helps dispel the gloom
It’s easy then to smile
But when it’s cold and skies are grey
For days and days on end
The car won’t start, there’s bills to pay
It’s harder to pretend – that
Chorus
Good things happen when you smile
Try it and you’ll see
Good things happen when I smile
Somebody smiles at me!
Verse 5
I practice smiling every day
So I can make it real
The strange thing is that when I do
It changes how I feel, oh
Chorus

Endlessly Fascinated
John Sule/Glenda Rogers
Verse 1
I was bored at the midnight cabaret
Fidgeting more than a cat in an alleyway
Plans were sure for a hasty getaway
(Then) I was floored thrown into disarray
Intrigued by your mysteriosity, charmed by your warm generosity
I became well-fascinated by you – you, and no-one but you
Chorus
Endlessly – fascinated, I’m
Endlessly – fascinated, I’m
Endlessly – fascinated
By you, you and no-one but you, I’m
Spellbound by your curiosities, awestruck by your virtuosities
I became well-fascinated by you.
Verse 2
You made war with dance-floor protocol
I adore the way you took control
You quench more than a desert waterhole
You could score this woman’s heart and soul
Intrigued by your mysteriosity, charmed by your warm generosity
I became well-fascinated by you – you, and no-one but you
Chorus

I’ll be loving you
(J. Sule/G.Rogers)
Verse 1
No-one knows you the
Way I know you, they
Say I’m sold on you
I’m too old for you
We don’t care what they say
Our love is true
And no-one knows me the
Way you know me your
Love was shown when you
Left your home for me
We don’t care what they say
Our love is true
Pre-chorus
Who is to say if our loving is true?
No-one knows love like we do
Chorus
I’ll be your love till the moon falls from the sky, and
If the stars should fall I’ll be standing by your side
I’ll be loving you
Verse 2
Some perceive that we
Just deceive and they
Don’t believe that we’re
Just naïve and they
Take the essence of love
And taint it all
They hold a grudge against
Foreign love and they
Play at judge and think
They’re above it all
Don’t they know that our love
Will conquer all?
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Verse 3
Early wakening
Agents breaking in,
Charged with faking it,
Body’s quaking and, how can it
Be a crime
To fall in love?
They won’t break our love
They can’t take our love,
We don’t fake our love,
They won’t shake our love
How can it be a crime
To be in love?
Chorus

Taking a chance on my heart.
(J.Sule/G.Rogers)
Verse 1
Your life is a game of chance
Of diamonds, clubs and spades
But I won’t be your Queen of Hearts
If you go on this way
Pre-chorus:
I don’t need a cheap-trick poker man
I don’t want a wild-card joker man
Chorus
Taking a chance on my heart
Leaving it broken apart
Taking a chance on my heart
Oo Oo Oo
On my heart
Verse 2
You may have some luck in cards
But you have none in love
You bet on things that never last
And find they’re not enough
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Verse 3
Cheating in the game of cards
Is just the same in love
Winning is a hollow art
When players have no trust
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
