The Bubble
03:11
|
|||
|
They say I live in a bubble, Where everything’s alright
I got all my friends here, on the Left not the Right
And as the world gets darker each passing day
I’m happy in my bubble, where its gonna be okay.
But you gotta look forward, stay on that track
I'm getting that monkey right off my back
There’s a crowd of people not wishing me luck
But I’ll nod politely and have no truck
Chorus
Break out of that bubble, Send it up to the sky
They’ll float up with you, cos it’s a legal high
There’s love to be found there among the hate it confronts...
Let’s rid the world of all this intolerance
Instrumental
Cos its always a struggle To fight for what is right
It makes you feel angry, wakes you up in the night
But if you’re disenchanted, that’s the right place to be
You’ll be on the right side of history.
Chorus x 2

Don't Kid Yourself
03:59
|
|||
|
The good and the bad
The light and the shade
When you're young, they all seem so clear.
Hearts full of hope and a head full of plans
never in doubt, and holding....no fear.
Chorus
Don't ever think you've got plenty of time
You don't now
Don't Kid yourself you're not next in line
Because you are...
As life goes on well our feelings they change
We think we're the same but life is unkind
The dreams that you had
All those ideals and plans
Are so hard to trace
In the holes...of our minds
Chorus
Don't ever think you've got plenty of time
You don't now
Don't Kid yourself you're not next in line
Because you are...
Oh yes you are now baby..
You've been haunting me for so many years
Now's the time that I must...face my fears
Cos they've been growing for all these years...
Hearts full of hope and those faraway dreams
They're all gone now
Way outta sight
Still we should look to the future and pay
The debt she created
We must...put it right..
Chorus
Don't ever think you've got plenty of time
You don't now
Don't Kid yourself you're not next in line
Because you are...
Oh yes you are now baby..
Don't kid yourself....
Don't kid yourself

Let's Make a Memory
03:05
|
|||
|
Look out the window, there's so much to see
Today's tomorrow's yesterday
So lets make a memory
Too much time pretending there's so much going on
Missing out on those that matter 'til you realise you've been conned
It's precious time we're wasting
But we're powerless to resist
'Til it's way too late to do what we wanted to.
Possessions all around you, but nothing in your head
Accumulating all that baggage that's thrown away when you're dead.
You can't get a refund if it don't turn out as planned
Go and make some special moments
The future's at your command.
Chorus
Look out the window, there's so much to see
Today's tomorrow's yesterday
So lets make a memory
Living life to the beat of others can't be the way to go
Spending nights with our lovers is a gift we should bestow.
If we do it right now what's the worst that could go wrong?
We're just a fleeting moment so let's all sing our own song.
Chorus x 2

We Can't Let Go
03:18
|
|||
|
It’s a transitory moment in a restless world
A life full but still unfulfilled
Never sure about moving on
I don’t wanna wait til that flame has gone
chorus
Baby say you’ll stay and watch me grow
Think of all the seeds that we could sow
Never miss a chance to feel that glow
We’re just too precious
We can’t let go
The beating heart of our love still sounds
It races faster baby, when you’re around
Can we recapture those magic days
We both know they never went away
Chorus
Bridge
There is nothing that we can’t do if you just give me your heart
It’s a life that we can choose
So lets say we’ll never ever be apart
Days and months would never become years
Baby never look back through veils of tears
Telling everyone I did you wrong
When our life together could be so strong
Chorus

Hold On
03:56
|
|||
|
As wild as a tornado tearing up a western plain
But as soft as a single rose that blooms after desert rain
On that fateful night
Something happened that was so right
And he knew that his life was never gonna be the same
So now.
He better hold on tight it's gonna be a bumpy ride
You knew it was coming from the day he lit that fuse
Because that...
heart of gold never comes without a price
But it's a price worth paying for a heart you don't want to lose
Chorus
He thought that his life was gonna be a bunch of wrong calls
Some working out but most just ended up running into that wall
He didn't want to play the field
But on that night what the gods revealed
across that room he knew he would be standing tall
Chorus
He was a city boy but she thought he looked real sweet.
But with a head full of doubt he thought his shyness it would have him beat.
He knew time was moving on
Make a move or she’ll be gone.
So he crossed that floor now their lives they are complete

You Can't Just Walk Out
03:06
|
|||
|
You can't just walk out and leave me baby
You know you hold the key to my heart
It's been a lifetime of searching maybe
We shouldn't just drift apart
All those promises we made to each other
we never should throw away yeah
You know that there could never be another
I love you more...every day.
We've had a bad time but so do many
Don't let it get in the way
You say that our love ain't worth a penny
I just want you to stay
There's a future if you only could see it
I know that you're the one for me yeah
Give yourself the chance to really believe it
Then I know...you will agree.
Chorus
I love you so much
we just need a little more time to grow it.
I need you to touch now
Breaking up's a crime and baby you know it......
I can see the future let's reach out for it.
It shouldn't have to end this way.
It's a beautiful dream I know I saw it
we've got so much more to say.
Being with you it makes me feel so protected
I never want to see it end yeah
Please don't leave me feeling so rejected
You know you're my...my best friend
chorus
I love you so much
we just need a little more time to grow it.
I need you to touch now
Breaking up's a crime and baby you know it......
You can't walk out, and leave me baby
You can't walk out I want you to stay
You gotta stay I think of you every day
You can't walk out, and leave me baby
I want you to stay I need you night and day now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now....

Don't you know who I was?
I'm the one who used to sell for you
Don't' you know who I was now baby?
I'm the one that didn't tell you.
Now you ain't buying no more
You don't know the hell I went through.
it's a hard road to choose
When you take the path I'm taking
I ain't got nothing to lose now baby
Now you know that I ain't faking
They might put blocks in that road
But they're there for overtaking.
Well I always got you down as someone that could be trusted
But you don't want me baby cos you think my flush is busted now baby...
Don't' you know who I was?
Now you ain't buying no more
You want me down on the floor (yes you do)
And you wake up in a cold sweat
Sheets soaking wet
you try not to remember but you just can't forget me baby..
Don't' you know who I was?
Now you keep dreaming because...
You know exactly who I was.
Don't' you know who I was now?
I'm the one who used to sell for you
Don't' you know who I was now baby?
I'm the one that didn't tell you.
Now you ain't buying no more
You don't know the hell I went through.
Now you ain't buying no more
You don't know the hell I went through.

The Devil Wants His Soul
03:48
|
|||
|
when you look around it's plain to see
There's been all kinds of devilry
But you know something's gotta change
I'm telling you now
Though it may seem real strange.
all those endless nights when I wanted to say
It doesn't have to be this way
And I know
Something's gotta give
It's clear to see that this ain't the way to live
Because the devil wants his soul
Yeah the devil wants his soul
The devil wants his soul
Yeah the devil wants his soul
They got us into this hole
Now the devil wants his soul
Oiga hombre no mi quiero
Sobre los tratos que hiciste con el diablo
Conoce....
Cosas tienen que cambiar
El diablo ha vuelto y quiere si alma
Todo el mundo ha visto la corrupción
porque no ha habido la revolución?
Pienso..
Tenemos solas espadas romas
El diablo se hizo cargo
Y no tiene hacer nada...
Because the devil wants his soul
(el diablo ha vuelto)
yeah the devil wants his soul
The devil wants his soul
(quiere su alma)
Yeah the devil wants his soul
They got us into this hole
Now the devil wants his soul
Their lies we swallowed them whole
Now the deviil he's back for his soul.

You can't shoot the world
You can't shoot the world
Every boy and girl
With your flag unfurled.
Your devil he ain't real
Your devil he ain't real
'Cept in a barrel of steel
Your devil he ain't real
Oh no, your devil he ain't real
With your words of hate
You think you can dictate
But we won't tolerate
When you mutilate
In the shopping mall
You wanna see them fall
But every boy and girl.
They'll be standing tall
Oh oh they'll be standing tall
We ain't gonna kneel (we ain't gonna kneel)
We ain't gonna kneel (we ain't gonna kneel)
To your barrel of steel
Cos your devil ain't real
We ain't gonna kneel (we ain't gonna kneel)
We ain't gonna kneel (we ain't gonna kneel)
To your barrel of steel
Cos your devil ain't real
Oh no your devil he ain't real
Oh no 'cept in a barrel of steel
You can't shoot the world (no guns no guns)
You can't shoot the world (no guns no guns)
Every boy and girl
With your flag unfurled.
You can't shoot the world (no guns no guns)
You can't shoot the world (no guns no guns)
Every boy and girl
With your flag unfurled.
Oh no, you can't shoot the world
Oh no, you can't shoot the world

I Will Meet You There

I will meet you there
Yeah I will meet you there
Where the hot desert wind meets the cool mountain air
I will meet you there
When my work is done
(Going to the chapel)
When my work is done
(Gonna get married)
I'll walk across the desert underneath that burning sun
When my work is done
For I have been inspired
(going to the chapel and we)
I have been inspired
(gonna get married)
My heart may be weary and my legs are tired
But I have been inspired
Now that day is here
(Going to the chapel and we)
Now that day is here
(Gonna get married)
My heart is unburdened and my head oh so clear
Going to the chapel of love
And I will meet you there
(going to the chapel and we)
Yeah I will meet you there
(gonna get married)
Where the hot desert wind meets the cool mountain air
I will meet you there (Going to the chapel of love)
Where the hot desert wind meets the cool mountain air
I will meet you there
Cos we're going to the chapel of love

Emma Gee Flowers UK
My music comes from the heart- one that contains love, doubts, burning principles, anger, and hope.
It's country,
blues, Americana, with a smattering of 70s pop. Whatever works to tell the story.
I write because I must. I hope others feel something in my songs too.
I'm originally from Birmingham, England,via Dublin, Ireland, but who knows where my travels will take me.
