Chorus: take me back, hold me like you did
Love me like you did last week
Hush, sweet and lullaby
Let love be the words we speak

There are times when my confidence
Is a little ahead of my step
Those days coming few and far between
So here I stand to regret

Those nights we were in the same house
Separated by two floors
Delight to hear the thumping of your feet
Still I needed more

Long Novembers alone in my wasted scene
Trying not to remember things we could have been

A hello and goodbye from your mouth
Fell to the ground covered in ice
The chill I got in between
Left me to freeze for goodnight

This change in my pocket's weighing me down
Empty streets without your voice
All that's happening turns me around
Hopelessness without any choice

Long Novembers

(Carla Larson & Ben Hartt)

You Let Me Down 4:10    [mp3]

Never called me much before
Now I hear your persistent ring
Didn't offer me anymore
Today you propose everything

You say there's things that I don't know
That you're so different inside
It gives you the right to go
You leave me with nothing left to hide

Chorus: You treated me so unkind
You're letting me down again
When will it be the last time
That you let me down my friend?
You treated me so unkind
You're letting me down again
When will it be the last time
That you let me down?

I feel ashamed that I loved you
Embarrassed of the promises
I still believe our souls are true
But right now this future is dead

Take advantage of my heart
'Cause you know that it forgives
You drive us further & further apart
With you is impossible to live

(Carla Larson & Ben Hartt)

Dance (Like No One Is Watching) 6:09    [mp3]

I was born in the disco age
"Voulez-vous" – mon disque premier
The cheery-ohs – computer age
Find your booty, let it shake

Dance like no one is watching
Love like you never been hurt before
Dance like no one is watching

Love and money down the drain
Soul-sucking rainy day
I want my icing on the cake
I found the party when I found my faith

Dance like no one is watching
Love like you never been hurt before
Dance like no one is watching

Dance like no one is watching
Love like you never been hurt before
Work like you don't need the money, give love to your honey
Dance

Party like you ain't been working 9 am to 5
Live it up today 'cause tomorrow you could die
Give away your money and the better you'll get by
Sing away your troubles and celebrate the good times

Dance

(Ben Hartt)

Move Along 3:38    [mp3]  [realplayer video]   

I really don't think that you ever loved me
You're taking my time and energy from me
Maybe you'll change maybe you should
Baby get lost I got to feel good

It's really too bad that push came to shove
You got me hard and gave me no love
Pulled up the blind and now I see
You've got to get lost I've got to be free

Big shot with an attitude
Superstar in a really bad mood
Those sparkling eyes I see right through
Will be watching me get over you

Don't be trying to break me down
Don't be trying to cut me up
When I'm gone and you're all alone
I've just got to move along

Chorus: I've just got to move along

(Ben Hartt)

Stand By 4:45    [mp3] 

Baby, I'm happy you found me
Without you I would have died
Baby, did you know that I couldn't sleep?
Dreamin' Dreamin' Dreamin'
Of the day we'd collide

I found a lover who's also my friend
I'd roam through the desert on the burning sand
I'd lose my possessions to be close to you

Chorus: I'll stand by you
I'll stand up for you
And if you look in my eyes
You'll see that I'm blind for you
I'll stand beside you
I'll hold your hand, I'll be your friend
And I will stand by you

Baby, please don't let go of me
'Cause I need you need you need you
To be by my side

Baby how I'd hate to see you leave
'Cause I love you love you too much
This I can't deny

I'll tell you I love you and I won't pretend
I'll find you a treasure at the rainbow's end
If you ever wonder I'll tell you again

(Ben Hartt)

Pleuvoir, Pleurer 5:42

I wouldn't have to lie if I didn't hate the truth
Looking back I failed us both for knowing how to choose
Settling for loneliness or settling for you
I wouldn't have to lie if you weren't afraid to lose me

Wouldn't it be easy if you took your love away
Incompatibility is mapping out our fate
Wouldn't it be easy if I had someone to blame
Wouldn't it be easy if your heart was filled with hate

I don't want to lie
I can't lie to you anymore
You think I don't love you
Think I don't need you
I can't pretend that I do anymore

Chorus: Pleuvoir, Pleurer
And all my pain is washed away
Pleuvoir, Pleurer
Everynight and everyday
When I find true love
Then I won't mistake
I wouldn't have to cry
It wouldn't have to rain

I've looked through all your letters and all your little notes
Looking for a reason or legitimate excuse
Feels like I've been living in an apathetic lull
But sympathy's been keeping me from telling you the truth

I knew it wasn't right from the moment that we met
My heart still pounds so hard for you, how can I not depend?
I sacrificed my dreams for you and lost my self-respect
I shared so many starts with you it's hard to have an end

I don't want to lie
Look at the dark circles 'round my eyes
I want to live in peace
I want to sleep in peace
It's time for me to say goodbye

(Ben Hartt)

Doormat 5:13

I wanna give you my hungriness
I wanna give you my tenderness
I wanna give you my loving
I wanna give you my trust

Then you want me to prove it
But you're blind when I do it
You wanna knock my walls down
Well you built them up

Chorus: Take your love somewhere else baby
'Cause I don't have the cash to buy it
Take your love someplace else honey
My doormat is rolled up, your cheque's in the mail
I won't stay. It don't pay (I won't cry. No not I)

I walked on quicksand
I don't understand
I said on my knees "Baby Please Baby Please
Give me a chance with no strings attached"

Don't wanna be bitter, no no
But I wanna see you singing in the rain alone
Don't wanna be sour, no no
I want you to spend every hour alone

Chorus

Your love was not high in quality
My love was not your favourite fantasy
I crawled on my hands for you, nearly broke my back for you
Asked you "What's the matter?"
Wasn't that enough for you?

Wanna make you embarrassed, oh oh
Wanna know who you'll cherish
Now that you're all alone
Won't take your advances, no no
I want you to know what you're missing at home

Chorus

I wanna give you my hungriness

(Ben Hartt)

Cobweb 3:03

I'm so caught in your arms
I'm entangled in them
Got me feeling alarmed
In your cobweb
My skin's sticking to yours
Again and again
My soul's starting to soar
In your cobweb

That's all I think about babe
That's all I dream about babe
I will be praying in your
I will be laying in your

Chorus: Cobweb sticking to your cobweb baby
Cobweb sticking to your cobweb baby
Cobweb sticking to your cobweb baby
Cobweb sticking to your cobweb baby

You're just like dynamite
That's what I wanna get
Got me feeling so right
In your cobweb
When you cling on to me
You put a smile on my head
Fill my fantasy
In your cobweb

I love you baby won't you wrap yourself around me real tight?
Please don't you take your time
I'm going to make you mine

I will believe what you say
I could be free but I stay
My heart is thumping alright, my blood is pumping tonight
I'll stick you baby
When you wrap yourself around me real tight
Don't you take your time
I'm gonna make you mine

(Ben Hartt)

Why Don't We Cheat On Each Other? 4:25

When you were working in a busy restaurant
Oh my, what a busy restaurant
It's such a busy place
That you have to stay there late
Well fine baby fine baby have your way

I'm not standing in your way
You're off the leash, go have a taste

You've been running around again
Flirting with all my friends
You've been running me down and
Into the ground and it really has to end

You really can't be trusted, you really can't be trusted
And I really just can't trust myself no more

Chorus: Before we're defeating each other
Why don't we cheat on each other?
Maybe we're sticking together
Because we're afraid to do better
Why don't we cheat on each other?
Why don't we sleep with each other?

When you were tending to a busy bar
Oh my, what a busy bar
I heard you smiled at them
And said we're only friends
Well fine baby fine baby that's the end

Please don't you sleep with me
Unless of course you dream of me

You've been running around again

You really can't be trusted

(Ben Hartt)

Don't Say You're Done 5:51

I want to say something
I want to say goodbye
Spend a lifetime doing nothing
Soon it's over then you die

I had a look inside me
I need to satisfy me
I'm gonna light my fire
And take me higher

Chorus; Don't baby say that you're done
When you're on your own, you've only begun

I had a taste of your co-dependance
It left me crying and wiping salty eyes
And now I'm craving my independence
I've got this hunger to satisfy my pride

Well you can't give me laughter
Or make me happy-ever-after
I'm gonna light my fire
And take me higher

I need to sing freedom
I need to live with all my nerve
I'm going after a better spirit
To be happy is one thing I deserve

Why don't you do the things to
Face what your demon brings you
You need to light your fire
And take it higher

(Ben Hartt)
