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

King Of The Broken
04:37

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

Love You Down The Years
05:05
|

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

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

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

Paris By Candlelight

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

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 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

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 - 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
