Why Should I Suffer
Music & Lyrics - Marcus Lazarus
Feeling so angry
Feeling so low
Bought me a ticket
But I got nowhere to go
You told me that you loved me
And that you always will
But you think the grass is greener, babe
On the other side of that great big hill
Now tell me why should I suffer
When I ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Yeah tell me why should I suffer
When I ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Smoking my cigarette
Drinking my wine
People ask me what I’m doing here
I say I”m doing my time
I thought I was dreaming
But these walls are closing in
Got a plan for my salvation
But I know, it’s a sin
So tell me why should I suffer
When I ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Yeah tell me why should I suffer
When I ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Feeling so low
Feeling so sad
Feeling so helpless
Feeling so bad
Feeling so angry
Feeling so blue
Feeling the weight of the world from you
Yeah, now tell me why should I suffer
When I ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Yeah tell me why should I suffer
When I ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Yeah tell me why should I suffer babe,
I ain’t done nothin’ wrong
Now tell me why should I suffer
I ain’t done nothin’ wrong

I’m Tired
Music & Lyrics: Marcus Lazarus
I'm tired
Tired of loving you, baby
So tired
Tired of loving you
And I'm tired of trying to please you
No matter what I do
I'm tired
I'm tired of talking to you
So tired
You make my yellow world turn blue
I'm so tired of being lonely
I'm tired of loving you
Yeah I'm tired
You hit me when I'm down
I'm so tired, baby, baby, baby, baby
Of being kicked around
You think it's funny
Well I ain't gonna be your clown
No more
No more

Save My Soul
Music & Lyrics - Marcus Lazarus}
Save my soul
Won’t you tell me I’m on the mountain road?
Save my soul
Won’t you tell me I’m on my way back home?
I’m so cold
Save my soul, save my soul
Ease my mind
Won’t you help me to find my way once more?
Ease my mind
Won’t you help me to find that open door?
I can’t stand it
Save my soul, save my soul
You can take all the money
Run away to paradise
You can take all the glory
When the road is on the rise
You can take all the credit
You can even tell lies
But you can’t back all the things you lack
Can I get a Hallelujah?
Save my soul
Won’t you tell me I’m on the mountain road?
Save my soul
Won’t you tell me I’m on my way back home?
I’m so cold
Save my soul
Save me, yeah …

Reflection
Music & Lyrics: Marcus Lazarus
I found the answer
Staring back at me
I looked for reason
There was none that I could see
I was wrong
Nothing more to say
Living the dream
Digging for gold in a coal mining town
Borrowing time
Until I can feel the sun go down
I was wrong
Nothing more to say
I’d be somewhere else
If I’d have had my way
Take me to freedom
Or take me to hell
No rhyme or reason
As far as I can tell
I was wrong
Nothing more to say
I’d be somewhere else
If I’d have had my way

Level Lovin’ Man
Music & Lyrics - Marcus Lazarus
Don’t ever leave me
I always want you by my side
Don’t you ever leave me
I always want you by my side
I’ll always want you woman
Ain’t got nothing left to hide
Strong headed woman
Needs a level headed man
Strong loving woman
Needs a level loving man
I’ll always love you baby
And do the best I can

Stolen Away
Music & Lyrics: Marcus Lazarus
She looked across the river
At the town she used to know
Looks so different from the world above
Looks so different from down below
She rented her apartment
To escape the barricades
But all the sirens in the streets below
Sound to her just like the Penny Arcades
And the world just kept on turning, and the
Skater girl remembered what was lost
All the bridges were now burning
All the weasels were wringing out the cost
And the rain just kept on falling
The thunder drove another storm
To wash away the memories
Of a lover, tattered and torn
Solo
He got a letter in the mailbox
Said he had to pay the price
Said he could visit when he wanted
He only made it once or twice
Well now he's calling out the numbers
As they lock up for the night
They keep on with their promises
But they never make it right
And now the boys are calling
They had their fill alright
They sing their song of desperation
As they melt into the cold, cold night
And the rain just kept on falling
The thunder drove another storm
They wash away the memories
Before the blinding light of dawn
She found a faded photograph
Of a face she used to know
He was underneath her window
Laying everybody low ...
And when she dried her eyes
As she gazed across the bay
There was a life somewhere that was so cruelly stolen away ...
Stolen away

Women & Booze
Music & Lyrics - Marcus Lazarus
If I won a million
I would go down to the store
Buy all the guitars that I had never played before
Go and see my broker
Ask him “What should I do?”
Reality is,
I’d waste it all on women and booze
If I won a million
I would go down to the store
Buy up all the groceries and give it to the poor
Go and see my brother
Put him on a luxury cruise
Reality is,
I’d waste it all on women and booze
Women & booze
Women & booze
I kinda like to party so I’ll waste it all on
Women & booze
If I won a million I would go back to the store
Buy me a Ferrari and Harley that’s for sure
Wrap them round a lamp post
And make the headline news
Reality is,
I’d waste it all on women and booze
Reality is,
I’d waste it all on women and booze

Ain’t Nobody Beatin’ Down My Door
Music & Lyrics - Marcus Lazarus
Ain't nobody beatin' down my door
Ain't nobody beatin' down my door
Well since I left my woman
I felt so insecure
I know I ain't the same man
That I used to be before
But ain't nobody beatin’ down my door
Hellfire woman won't let me ride no more
Hellfire woman won't let me ride no more
She told me she was leaving
Then she walked right out the door
She told me I was wasted
I was gonna die for sure
Hellfire woman won't let me ride no more
Got my independence
Got no one else but me
Got everything a man could want
And nothing I don’t need
I’ll ride into the city
And hang around in bars
We’ll talk about the game last night
And dream about guitars
Well, ain't nobody beatin down my door
Hell ain't’ nobody beatin down my door
Well since I left my woman
I felt so insecure
I know I ain't the same man
That I used to be before
But ain't nobody beatin' down my door
Got my independence
Got no one else but me
Got everything a man could want
And nothing I don’t need
I’ll ride into the city
And hang around in bars
We’ll talk about the jam last night
And play my old guitars
Well, ain't nobody beatin' down my door
Ain't nobody beatin' down my door
I know I ain't the same man
That I used to be before
But ain't nobody beatin' down my door
Ain't nobody beatin' down my door
Ain't nobody beatin' down my door

Woke up in Soho
Music & Lyrics: Marcus Lazarus
Put down the bottle
And picked up the phone
I tried to call you
But your friend said that you’re not home
It’s been so long
Since I’ve seen your face
I can’t remember the time or the place
Woke up in Soho
They were playing your song
I wish I’d noticed
When you told me I was wrong
Every time
That I feel so alone
I can’t decide if this life is my own
Time after time
There’s a shadow on the wall
I find myself waiting for your call
Time after time
It takes so long to mend
I see the horizon
But where does it end?
I had a vision, perfectly clear
I saw my saviour
And he lead me out of here
Down by the river
Where he held my hand
Showed me the way to the promised land
Time after time
Your shadow’s on the wall
Still find myself waiting for your call
Time after time, Lord
I’ve tried so hard to make amends
I see my horizon
But where does it end?

Nothin’ At All
Music & Lyrics: Marcus Lazarus
I hear you talkin' bout the state I'm in
I hear you talkin bout what might have been
I hear you talkin bout the cardinal sin
But you don’t say nothin’ at all
I listen to you bout the state of the world
I listen to ya bout your diamonds and pearls
I listen to you complain about your girl
But I don't hear nothin at all
I know you’re lying
Cos I see your lips are moving
Your hollowed eyes
That look so disapproving
I’m so glad
You find yourself amusing but oh …
You don’t say nothin’ at all
Nothin’ at all
This situation needs a delicate touch
You’re going solo but I have to go Dutch
Don't mean to contradict your karma as such
But I don't feel nothing at all

In Too Deep
Music & Lyrics - Marcus Lazarus
Burned out and wasted
Another lonely room
I can taste the morning
And cheap perfume
But I can't get no sleep, no
I'm in too deep
Checking out her body
Her breathing's kinda slow
The sunlight hits the window
And I guess it's time to go
But I can't make that creep, no
I'm in too deep
Maybe I should quit this messing round and getting lost
I can't believe my fortune and I can't believe the cost
If I don't get myself together in my head
Gonna wind up doing time for something I'll regret
Figures in the shadows
I'm staring at the wall
Oh Lord, won't you help me?
I'm trying not to fall
What we sow shall we reap, yeah
I'm in too deep
I can't get no sleep, no
I'm in too deep
I can't make that creep no,
I'm in too deep
