WHITE WATER RAFTING I thought that my blood was too cold And the bones in these arms much too old To go white water rafting With hearts that go laughingly so. You said "Look - Kandinsky's on view" I said if I go then will you? It's not terribly modern But then I've forgotten it too. All of sudden I'm falling Into the colour of you Not that I mind being painted Any old colour, anything's better than blue We set off for London that day And you listened to songs that I'd played In a world without sparkle A place where my heart couldn't stay. And we crossed from a bridge to the past Where the futurists hide behind glass then I kissed you - how shocking! While Warhol was mocking the mass. All of sudden I'm falling Into the colour of you Not that I mind being painted Any old colour, anything's better than blue. I thought that my blood was too cold And the bones in these arms much too old To go white water rafting With hearts that go laughingly so To go shooting the rapids And break with the habits Of old To go white water rafting With hearts that go laughingly so.

In Honour 03:49
IN HONOUR In honour of so many songs that have been written about love I won't try to protest or deny that the best is the song that I wrote just for you besides if it's true I'm amazed It all seems remarkably plain when you look at these words nothing grand or obtuse eloquent what's the use? when these words they just simply belong in one simple song for you. I could pretend that I'm a man of learning a title to my name makes me look smart I could pretend that I'm a man of letters but really I'm just chasing your heart In honour of so many songs that have been written about love I won't try to protest or deny that the best is the song that I wrote just for you besides if it's true I'm amazed Words and Music by Simon Scardanelli © 2007 Musica Scardanelli

WE’LL GO HOME Why can’t I walk down the side of the street where there’s people? Cos people can be so unkind when they stare at my soul It’s like – “where have you been?” and “what have you done with this lifetime? Have you wasted it singing in bars for a piece of fools gold?” So why should I try to behave as if nothing’s gone wrong? I knew all the legends they sold me were lies all along Now there’s no-one to listen and no-one to sing you my song no-one to listen and no-one to sing you my song Don’t be so hard on yourself there’s a New World Waiting for you to be born, you old fool Sing me a song, tell me a story Then, take my hand we’ll go home How can I reach out to you when you stand in the shadows? Well I never knew hide and seek was a game I could win But I’m burning with love and lost in the hurt that you sing Then I really can’t help, you I just don’t know where to begin No I really can’t help, you I just don’t know where to begin Don’t be so hard on yourself there’s a New World Waiting for you to be born, you old fool Sing me a song, tell me a story Then take my hand we’ll go home Sing me a song, tell me a story Then, take my hand we’ll go home What shall I do if I open my heart up to you? Open your heart and you’ll know right away what to do Will it be safe after years of collisions at sea? No you won’t be shipwrecked – I’ll throw out a lifeline to me But what if I can’t swim, I’ll drown in the ocean or freeze But what if I can’t swim, I’ll drown in the ocean or freeze Don’t be so hard on yourself there’s a New World Waiting for you to be born, you old fool Sing me a song, tell me a story Then take my hand we’ll go home Sing me a song, tell me a story Then, take my hand we’ll go home Don’t be so hard on yourself there’s a real World Waiting for you to be born, you old fool Sing me a song, tell me a story Then take my hand we’ll go home Sing me a song, tell me a story Then, take my hand we’ll go home we’ll go home we’ll go home we’ll go home Words and music Simon Scardanelli © 2007 Musica Scardanelli
