Dodged a Bullet
(lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
I dodged a bullet once again
And I don’t know what’s coming up around the bend.
I’m living on borrowed time
I wish I could get it off my mind
I thank my friends…I dodged the bullet once again
I wake up in the morning
not sure I’m gonna get out of bed
Life is out of my hands, so it don’t make much sense
The bottle is a calling me to be his friend
He says your never gonna beat this thing…but I don’t listen to him
I’ve had worries and I’ve lost friends
And I can tell you, it all really adds up in the end
It’s a human frailty … we may never meet again
I dodged the bullet once again
I’m off the hook and I’m on the mend
I dodged the bullet one more time
I dodged the bullet in the end
We are never happy with what we got
We want the whole damn pot
And I’m left to ponder what is the point of it all
I had some worries before and now it’s out control
I’m here to tell you friend, don’t waste your time worrying
cos it won’t ever end.
I’ve lost worries and I’ve found friends
And I can tell you, it all really adds up in the end
It’s a human frailty … we may see it again
I dodged the bullet once again
I’m off the hook and I’m on the mend
I dodged the bullet one more time
I dodged the bullet in the end

One More Day
(Lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
It’s half past one in the morning and
I’m outside staring up into the night
I don’t know who I’m praying to
I’m out here looking for a shining light
I feel my life’s a failure
I don’t wanna die before my time
I don’t wanna say I’m sorry
Gimme me one more day
Gimme one more day of living
Gimme one more day of life
Gimme one more day with the living
And I know that I’ll always want more,
Gimme one more day of life
Two years on from that dark night
And I’m still here to tell you of my fight
They cut my flesh and burned my bones
Put poison in my blood and then they fed me stones
They say you can’t keep a good man down
But I wasn’t ready to give up
And I’m not ready to say goodbye
Gimme one more day of life
Gimme one more day of living
Gimme one more day of life
Gimme one more day with the living
And I know that I’ll always want more,
Gimme one more day of life

Sleeping Dogs
(Lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
Don’t look back on the day you died
Keep on moving all the time
Let the sleeping dogs lie
You can look yourself in the eye & learn to say goodbye
Sometimes you gotta let sleeping dogs lie
Sometimes you gotta look the future in the eye
Sometimes you gotta let Sleeping Dogs lie
Sometimes the proof of the pudding is in the pie
Don’t look back until you die
Keeping on moving and stay alive
Don’t look back yeah Let the sleeping dogs lie
Keep on moving all the time
Until the end of time
Don’t look back… Don’t look back
Let the sleeping dogs lie

You Oughtta Know
(Lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
I started writing this song a long time ago
I should have finished by now
I couldn’t let it go
You know that I won’t quit
I tell you I won’t quit
You oughtta know
Woe oh you oughtta know
I started playing this guitar a long time ago
I’m still playing it now 30 years down the road
You know that it won’t quit –
It’s such a sweet little stick
I know that it won’t quit – I can’t let it go
And you oughtta know
We started doing this band 10 years ago
We’re still together now, not sure where we’re going
You know that we won’t quit
We’re gonna play some new riffs
Yeah we won’t quit cos it’s in our soul
you oughta know
Woe oh oh yeah, you’re my danger and my failure
Woe oh oh you oughtta know
Woe oh, you’re my danger and my failure
Woe oh oh you oughtta know
Woe oh oh yeah, you’re my danger and my saviour
Woe oh oh you oughtta know

Find the Words
(Lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
I’ve got something to tell you, if I can find the words
You know that I know I love you but I fear the worst
I’ve got something to tell you, it’s not good news
I’ll try not to hurt you baby if I can find the words
If I can find the words to tell this to you
It’s not good news and I can’t find the words
To say to you
Talk to me now baby
And I’ll tell you all about
My problems in this world
And how they came about
Talk to me now baby
I’ve got something to tell you, it’s not good news
I don’t want to hurt you baby, but I can’t find the words
I can’t find the words

The Fall of Rome
(Lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
I close my eyes and dream of the glory of Rome
And I can see the fallen ruins of my life
The love we made echoes on through the pantheon
Reflected in the moon above, it lives on for years to come
You can still see the faded glory of Rome
It’s legends echo on, reflecting in your eyes my love
If you close your eyes you will see my time has come
But our love will live on in the tears of our young
I’ve seen the fall of Rome
It lies in ruins now
That’s how I am today
Now you have had your way
I have seen the fall of Rome
I have dreamed the fall
Have you seen the fall of Rome
The lonely beauty of this world echoes on
Although to some it’s only fallen ruins and broken cups
The love we made carries on long after we give up
Reflecting in the moon above for years to come
Just like the fall of Rome
Our love it will live on
Even though I’ve come and gone
We’ll live for years to come
Our love it will live on.
Just like the ruins of Rome
In your heart I will live on
In your hearts I will live on

Nobody Knows
(Lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
You disappeared and nobody was told
When you lost your way all those years ago
And now you tell me you can’t find your way
Find your way back home
Nobody Knows
Nobody knows where you have gone
Stories get told but the truth is no one really knows
Where it was you went to sing on your own
Nobody knows where you’ve gone
Nobody knows what you found
Nobody knows
What you found
Nobody knows what went down…
In recent times I can never find my way
My spirit’s lost and my hair has turned all grey
And I’m trying to find my way
And nobody knows
Only you and you alone
Can find your way back home
Nobody Knows
Only you and you alone

Stop Running Away
(Lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
I’m on the right side of the dirt
I got lost in a maze and the way was blurred
I was running away from all that hurt
Trying to stay on the right side of the dirt
Ohhh oh and I cried, in the morning I wished it would be alright
But there was no end in sight
I’m running away from the outside world
And the things out there that wanna make you hurt
The heart wants what the heart wants
And you don’t have any say in the end
You’ll find love if you stop running
Stop running away
Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks
I never learnt about love and how to give back
So stop running away from the ones you love
They’ll keep you from the wrong side of the dirt
The heart wants what the heart wants
And you don’t have any say in the end
You’ll find love and stop running
Stop running away

Here Come the Bats
(Lyrics by Stewart Cunningham)
The Words go a bit like this
When the words I want they don’t exist
Is anybody listening at all
Is anybody listening and do they understand
When I call, do they understand
Do the words mean nothing at all
And the words they disappear, just like my tears
They disappear and they
don’t mean nothing at all
The words go a bit like this
And the meaning is always missed
Does anybody listen at all
Do the words count anymore and
Here come the bats
Rising up from their secret places
Here come the Bats
Does anybody see them
Does anybody listen
To these words that I sing from my soul
Do they mean anything at all
To the world outside these doors
And do they mean what they say
When will they mean something to us all?
