Roll of the Dice - by Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music®2013 1. Well you can pay too much If you're not payin' attention Needs a curious case of common sense intervention Somethings gotta happen Bring you back to your senses Reality check Smash those rose tinted glasses It's not all sugar n' spice Take another roll of the dice 2. Well you can give up to easy Throw in the towel and stop tryin' You can spend all your time sulking and crying Dust yourself down Climb back in the saddle Don't hold back no more Put peddle to the metal Don't you think twice Take another roll of the dice B. Well a little give and take Is all you're asking A little peace and quiet before another life lesson Your a little weary Your a little tired A little too wound up A little too wired 3. Well you can push it too far Trying to make things happen Decide too quick to put your plan into action Not everything you try Is going to work out You're gonna fail sometimes there's no doubt Hear ends the advice Take another roll of the dice

1. Just hanging around trying to get out My lips move but no-one car hear me shout Standing still as life passes me by A monument that testifies An epitaph of a life gone by King of the broken, here he lies 2. A time of the brave glory to seek Struck once by dishonour I turn the other cheek Events set in motion All lead to my demise The writings upon the wall King of the broken, here he lies b. Kingdoms they come and go By the hand of fate they rise and fall To the victor the spoils of war The vanquished lose it all 3. Tribute to the faithful hope their reward But sounding my trumpet only brought me discord War and conflict reigned Peace came in disguise Slayin' on the field of battle King of the broken, here he lies

Today I want to take you Lead you gently by the hand Head out to the beach and write Our initials in the sand The weather is so cold outside Yet we always will stay warm I'll wrap my love around you To shield you from the storm Yes we'll grow old together As life's sea returns to shore Still delighting in each other Knowing we could give no more Chorus I want to love you down the years Share your hopes and fears Be the one you laugh with Travel life hand in hand Though none of it was planned We'll discover new frontiers As I love you down the years Verse 2 Proposals fly 'cross sky ways Like the fleeting bird of youth Sweet gestures of my love for you As if you ever needed proof But our love's not bells and whistles Our love's not hearts and flowers Through the scorching sunshine of our days Our love's a cooling shower We'll cherish one another More and more each day If anyone should question me Then hand on heart I'll say Hold on to one another spinning round and round on life's carousel We're not old just getting older We still both have our part to play

My Life 05:21
My Life - by Steve Salterszo Well my life's always been in trouble It's becoming a pain Something must have burst my bubble Cos all I try is in vain I'm just working on my life Trying hard to get where I need to be But there's always a stumbling block Waiting there for me The long road set out before me Take the broad or narrow way Sometimes the grass looks greener But you can eat yourself fat on life's buffet I'm just working on my life Is it down to fate or is it planned I'm just working on my life Lord help me to live the life Of a simple man Well my life's always been in trouble Wonder how much more can a man take Punched drunk and seeing double But my values I will not forsake I'm just working on my life Hope is my only friend One more hurdle to get over But I'll see it right through to the end

Now & Then 04:00
1. She ran away with my smile Left me to gather up my tears Emergency Stop! she cried aloud Hit my brakes dropped me down a few gears 2. She kept me in the dark Blinded by love I could not see Her love had faded out Her eyes no longer fell upon me Chorus When love goes, everyone knows A heart needs re-booted again Time heals, what a love thief steals It's the difference between now and then 3. She'd traveled as far as she could go The journey I'd now finish alone Two hearts now became one My love no longer sat on her throne 4. A million stars fell to the ground Darkness dug a well so deep I cried like a siren's wail My loss, my soul wanted to keep

1. She sits alone as night time falls She draws on memories from the past She melts into her chair as her name he calls How she thought those days would forever last Light the candle, travel back in time She waits on him at the cafe Light the candle, And she's in his arms Falling in love on the Champs Elyses Paris by Candelight 2. He laughs , she sighs, he plays with her hair She gazes longingly into his eyes Their lips meet, a kiss that says it all A love that neither can disguise Light the candle, Feel his warm embrace No care in the world when she's with him Light the candle, Every waking moment Spending her life on him Paris by Candlelight b. And as the candle burns down low She see's his face like it was yesterday She prays the memory of him not to go She takes his hand and is whisked away Paris by candlelight Light the candle, travel back in time He waits on her at the cafe Light the candle, And he's in her arms Falling in love on the Champs Elyses Paris by Candelight

1. When the fire is burning low Sat beneath starry skies You ponder over what might have been Wiping the tears from your eyes They say you'll find someone else There's plenty more fish in the sea c. But your heart wants to fly Where 'er the wind is blowin' And your soul seeks a place of rest Carry you high above the clouds Where 'er the wind is blowin' Where your love won't be put to the test Where 'er the wind is blowin 2. Moon shinning so blue Like the mood your in Fire ember fades into the night Like your patience that's wearing thin They say time is a great healer Better to love and loss than not at all BRIDGE You feel you must strive to make things happen Make your own destiny you'll decide when and where If you would on sit back and learn the lesson Love will find it's way to you so don't despair 3. Birds seem to great the sunrise Awaken you from your sleep Now you've talked it all over in your mind The lessons learned you must keep They say you don't know what you've got til it's gone And once it's gone you can't get it back

Body & Soul 03:42
Body and Soul - by Steve Salterszo © Pinetree Music® 2013 1. They say that Life's for the taking But it's endless mistakes I'm making Feel it's taken it's toll, Body and Soul They say you need something to believe in That peace can only come from within Think I'm on a roll, Body and Soul C. It's the mystery of life How we are surrounded by trouble and strife Talk about peace while proclaiming war What's it all for When you finally reach your limit Your true feelings start being transmitted Start taking control, Body and Soul 2. They say you should follow your heart But what do you do if love should depart Feel I'm out on parole, body and soul They say actions speak louder than words But we can't always sing like the birds I need to console, body and soul

Waiting On The Tide - words by Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music®2013 1. Every moment we spend together Drives us further apart We swore we'd love each other forever Now that oaths come to a stop But when the chips are down All is left are rumours and lies When there's little or nothing left to say Somehow we find the words to apologise C. So let's sit up all night And wait on the tide to turn We can put the wrongs right If we're willing to learn Cos when the ship is sinking And all hopes lost its meaning Love can still through us both a lifeline We're just waiting, on the tide to turn 2. There's no use in pointing the finger We know we're both to blame Hoping old feelings might still linger Can our love ever be the same But when the hurt goes too deep Have we the time to catch our breath Cos while we were both asleep Our love was the victim of theft

Tired 06:02
Tired - words & music Steve Salterszo © Pinetree Music® 2013 1. I've travelled the road for so long Picked up some bumps and bruises on the way I've tried to separate the right from wrong Despite what the world might say But I've found myself many times Broken Down by the side of the road I've looked for help from passers by But none were willing to carry the load C. I'm tired Tired from all the rain Tired from all the pain You can see it in these eyes I'm tired Tired from all the fighting From being struck by lightening From hoping the sun will rise 2. Well it feels sometimes I've been to hell and back Sometimes it's hard to weather the storm I've come up short on the skills I lack To build a shelter to keep me warm We can't all be winners I know But sometimes it would be good to not be last We might all be saints or sinners But not be condemned by the past 3. Now don't misunderstand me I'm not one to give up and not fight But it's hard to keep the wolves from the door If they sneak in during the night Now they can tear you up real bad Some of the wounds may never heal But what really makes me so sad Is the precious moments in life they steal

The Band Played On - words & music Steve Salterszo\Traditional 1. The thrill the excitement could be felt in the air The majesty, the awe It was such a grand affair Calls of breathtaking, magnificent Surely nothing can compare And the band played on And the band played on 2. Set sail from Southampton New York bound The rich, the poor Every walk of life could be found The sharing of dreams was uttered all around And the band played on And the band played on B. Then the warning rang out Iceberg dead ahead They tried to react but the damage was widespread Unsinkable was what they'd said And the band played on and the band played on 3. Five compartments breached The realisation all was lost Amidst the panic and alarm The Band played on to their cost Minute by minute playing Their names forever embossed And the Band Played On And the band played on
