ROCK 'N ROLL (...GET A JOB)
Words & Music by Jéan Lötz.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Verse 1)
Three boys in an old garage
With brand new strings on cheap guitars
Picture perfect wannabe's
(Verse 2)
Clinging to a fading dream
While real life’s pulling out the seams
I guess that’s the way it goes…
(Pre Chorus)
You do what you need to…
Suck it up… when you have to…
It’s pretty clear when they tell you…
(Chorus)
You know you need to get a job
And leave your dreams of rock ‘n roll
You gotta pay the bills, If you want to survive
You, mortal soul
You gotta let it go…
Grow up and let go…
(Verse 3)
Now you thinking back, to what has been
It’s ten years gone and nothing seems
To make any sense
(Verse 4)
You hardly touch your old guitar
While day job wage & mid-life scars
Gets harder to defend
(Pre Cho)
Cuz you did what you had to…
When the tide came towards you…
Just as they told you…
(Chorus Repeat)

SWELLENDAM
Words & Music Jéan Lötz.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Verse 1)
Driving out of the city
Yeah I could leave this all behind
For a magical place, under the southern sky
I've been craving for a while
(Verse 2)
This is where I grew up
At the foot of the mountain, at small town speed
And you swore once, you'd never return
But you'll miss her like a lover, who's deeds...
(Pre Chorus)
Once filled your senses
Touched your senses
Moved your senses.....aha
(Chorus)
She yea, she's the smell of summer
She yea, she's the December sun
She's got charm like no other
Where you heart needs your feet to run...
You're free to run
(Verse 3)
Old town buildings that speak through scars
Always familiar faces, over drinks at the bar
We can head up the mountain if you want
Or take a walk in the forest and lose who we are...
(Pre Chorus 2)
And fill our senses
Touch our senses
Move the senses.....aha...move the senses...
(Chorus Repeat)

LOOKING BACK
Words & Music Jéan Lötz.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Verse 1)
Remember us driftin' away, into the sun's rays
We got high on all of life, and high on everything
And good times always came easily / Like a friend at the front door
(Verse 2)
Remember the pacts we made, the drinking games we played
And always way into the night, was where the conversation strayed
Still so clear in my memory, like I'm still standing right there...
(Chorus)
Aha... / These memories find me, when I'm looking back
Aha... / And I'm always smiling, when I play them back
(Verse 3)
Was it the night of colored lights, against the forest sky
Where the music made us dance, immune to all of life
We learned how to laugh and feel from the soul
Our weight worth in gold...
(Chorus Repeat)
We can take a trip down, reliving the moments, if you wanna do that... It'll leave you smiling just take a glimpse back...

(WON"T YOU) BE MY BABY?
Words & Music Jéan Lötz.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Verse 1)
You were the one, I swore you were the one
The first time I saw you, on the school yard
You had it down, that lookin' so mysterious
You wore it like you did those smoky brown eyes
(Verse 2)
Before long you were all that I could think about
I was the dreamer having nothing quite figured out
What would I say if I could somehow speak to you
What if the words would disappear were I to ask you...
(Chorus)
Won't you be my baby , Wont' you be my girl
Give it all for you
Won't you be my baby , Wont' you be my girl
It's all for you...
(Verse 3)
Sitting in my room, on the weekends, with nowhere to go
Spent my hours, make believe in things I’d known
It was a certain magic - all of your own
That kept me awake at night...
(Chorus Repeat)
(Bridge)
I remember you smile as you turned away
Knowing I'd never see you again...
My silent conversation....oh oh

MARRIED
Words & Music Jéan Lötz.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Verse 1)
Well, you’re the one I waited my life for
We’re so good together, playing house
Cuz when you're choppin' veggies like some TV chef
It's enough to sell me, suburban life
(Verse 2)
The morning traffic is hitting slow
While we're trying to get to work in time
But just the thought, of me, coming home to you
It seems so perfect by design...
(Chorus)
Everybody's saying we're practically married now
Cuz ever since we first met, yea, we still, hold it together
Everybody's sayin' "Why don't you get married now"
They say we're magic for sure, we're birds of a feather
(Verse 3)
Now I like it - wearing my weekend hat
When Friday comes and rolls out the welcome mat
Cuz when the red wines out and we celebrate
Saturday comes in handy, sleeping late
(Verse 4)
Now you don't like going shopping, all on your own
And I think up excuses not to go
Cuz standing in line at the grocery store
Ain't quite what I was built for...No...
(Chorus Repeat)

PLAY WITH FIRE (ft Mike Brown)
Words & Music Jéan Lötz.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Verse 1)
Can’t keep taking for long
Till the tables turn and you’re reign gets overthrown
Hands tied, we’ve look upon
Lesser the meat, clinging to the bone
(Verse 2)
You say you’re just playin’ the game
You don’t write the rules, so why are you to blame
But your deals with the devil, you know
Is no longer a secret , only you own...
(Chorus)
If you play with fire (If you play…)
If you play with fire (If you play…)
You could get your fingers burnt…
(Verse 3)
You’re preaching respect
By one, unto himself, excluding all the rest
But do you think the effect,
Could ever survive these turmoil ends?
(Verse 4)
As the past will suggest
It’s a futile journey, seeded with regrets
Too much money & greed
You have blood on your hands and you're a prisoner to your needs...
(Chorus Repeat)
