A Life Less Travelled 02:55
lyrics

On a life less travelled - Salterszo © 2016 Draw from the well But there was nothing to drink Can't quench this thirst So I can think Start up my engine roll along To another town, to another town See if the clouds are gathering there So the rain falls down, rain falls down What I wouldn't give for only one day Some relief a little respite Maybe I'll find it If I'm sincere On a life less travelled the end nowhere in sight Take up my cross This burden ain't light But you can't lay down When it's time to fight Life pulls no punches it's got no time For the weak of heart, for the weak of heart Stand your ground step up to the line Or it'll tear you apart, tear you apart What I wouldn't give for only one day Some relief a little respite Maybe I'll find If I'm sincere On a life less travelled the end nowhere in sight Why does life always seem so hard Why can't I gain that extra yard Why does it seem like it's always me Is it all just vanity

The Gainesville Slugger 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Just a little boy from Gainsville Who said Elvis glowed And when he saw the Beatles singing He wanted to be on that show So an eagle taught him how to play guitar And he played that six string well And a couple of punks called the rolling stones Inspired the story he'd come to tell The Gainsville Slugger rolled into town He fought anyone who got in the way And they travelled from miles around Just to hear him play A taste of success didn't last long It seemed doomed to fail Then he flew across the big pond Where fame was all in the detail Third time lucky hit the bigtime Though a torpedo nearly sank the ship But the Gainsville slugger fought his way out Shooting straight from the hip You're gonna get it, I need to know Listen to her heart And the whole thing went platinum When he sang 'Don't do me like that' like a refugee in a wilbury twist A group of legends began to sing From dizzy heights name up in lights Rock n Roll was his thing Then the newsman said what we'd come to dread And just like that the firebrand was gone But the depth and the width of what he left behind Will always carry on.

When I Said "I Do." 03:47
lyrics

When I Said "I Do." Standing in the dock today Judge and jury have their say On whether I'm guilty of loving you My defense presents a case Prosecution calls it a waste Lawyer says it's not lookin good for me I look at you no expression on your face How did we end up in this loveless place C. The tax man audits me today But love cannot repay All the tears I've spent on you They're sending my heart straight to jail Inmates lament and wail Guess I pleaded guilty When I said "I Do." First witness called to the stand I lookup see her best friend I'll be scoring no points from her The jury listens intently Glaring rather disparagingly As she relates how I was never there I look at you no expression on your face How did we end up in this loveless place B. Take the prison down Guilty they shout all around My heart sinks into the ground No mercy plea to be found

A Love Letter 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Spent all her tears Spent all those years On a man who never loved her He broke her heart Right from the start She Told herself lifes not fair Hearts incliined and neither understanding A love inclined to be more demanding Crying eyes hide behind the lies She told herself Things will get better He can change life can re-arrange The stars in the sky To spell out a love letter How can it be So hard to see Built her Love without any planning Gave it her all Now comes the fall From grace Heartbreak comes calling Thought love could be Tenderly everything She'd ever dreamed off How wrong was she It's plain to see That life and dreams are full of mischief The writer pens words on a page Then from lifes stage The actors play it out We all watch with baited breath The chaos left By loves story

The Best I Ever Knew 03:20

The Best I Ever Knew - Salterszo ©2018 Sitting back against a tree It's leaves giving shade to me From the Noonday Sun. Saying hello to passers by Smiling at the clear blue sky Waves of heat wrap around everyone And whilst my eyes start to glaze With the Summer haze I cast a thought back to you And catch a memory as I sigh You were the best I ever knew Strolling slowly by the lake Little sailing ships create a wake Swans try to get out of the way Dragon flies tiptoe and dance Not engaged by circumstance Nothing can stop their play Lying down on the grass The Sunlight fading fast Clouds gathering to release the rain I don't really want to go But it's the end of the show The first droplets make everyone complain

I Don't Want To Love You 03:37
lyrics

I Don't Want To Love You Anymore 1. I see you with your new boy now Driving in his flashy car But I Couldn't give you that Seems you were a material girl You loved the bling of this world But I Couldn't give you that C. I don't want to love you anymore But my heart just won't let go Now I don't know what to do I don't want to love you anymore But my heart just won't let go Now what am I supposed to do 2. You flash your hand that diamond ring To you it means everything But I Couldn't give you that You've got the dress the Jimmy Choo shoes Looks like you can't ever lose But I Couldn't give you that 3. You look stunning in your wedding dress Moving to a new Cheshire address But I Couldn't give you that A little dog in your channel handbag It's tails not the only wag But I Couldn't give you that Bridge But love is more than material gain Hearts need more to go on than pain I hope that some love will remain When it's all over

Live Life Fast 03:03
lyrics

Live Life Fast Working hard your getting somewhere Barely taking time to come up for air Keep your head down labouring on Blood and sweat from dusk til dawn Life life live it fast Cause nothing in this World can last Living in the moment or in the past Don't matter cause nothing can last Save your money for a rainy day You're all work and there's no play But what's it all for, what's that all about It's just gonna turn you inside out Have you just become a slave to only serve yourself Do you think you'll be happy if you gain riches & wealth But those at the top say there's nothing there They'd give it all up turn back the page if they'd dare From the day you left school Stuck to the code kept every rule But how'd they work out for you Now your broken down feeling like a fool

When Happily Everafter Fails I was walking out you where walking in Looking the worse for wear There was a time when It used to bother me But now I no longer care So was it worth it all to see it through Have we been living a lie So here it is our stories end Saying our last goodbye Hearts breaking Forsaken Now where all out of line Together forever Ain't gonna cut it this time When happily everafter fails Wanted to talk it out you'd say what about Everythings fine as it is Tried to let you know I wasn't happy but You'd silence me with your kiss So was it worth it all we've been through Have we been living a lie So here it is our stories end Saying our last goodbye Hearts breaking Forsaken Now where all out of line Together forever Ain't gonna cut it this time When happily everafter fails Remember how we loved each other Remember how we held one another Remember how we promised to never break apart.

Love You More There's nothing matters more I've never been here before I get so excited when I'm meeting you My hearts beating fast These feelings can't be surpassed My love I can't subdue I turn there you are You're like a shooting star Blazing over my heart Cos Everytime I look at you I just want to love you more Love you more Cos Everytime I look at you I just want to love you more Love you more Holding your hand I'm at your command Unaware of the World all around A captive of your smile Hours seem like a while I can't bear it when you have to go As you kiss me goodbye See you soon you sigh I keep watching til you're gone
