Well I ain't no
Devil's child
Sitting here on your knee
Well I ain't no
Devil's child
Sitting on daddy's knee
Well how come the sun shines for you
When I can't get the moon to shine for me
Well I ain't no
Devil's child
Sitting on daddy's knee
For you it never seems to rain
For me the tears fall like the sea
Yeah for you it never seems to rain
But it rains everyday on me
Well I ain't no
Devil's child
Sitting here on your knee
Well I ain't no
Devil's child
Sitting on daddy's knee
For you there's always a cool summer's breeze
For me there's a hurricane and a broken tree
Yeah this ain't the Devil's child
Sitting here on your knee
Well I ain't no
Devil's child
Sitting here on your knee
Well I ain't no
Devil's child
Sitting on daddy's knee

After
Work Tonight
words and music by Steve D Parker
1991
Well I'll pick
you up after work tonight
Take you
downtown for that new dress you like
Run you down to
Bobby's joint for a slap-up meal
Tonight I wanna tell you how I really feel
No that wasn't me last night
Just words in
the heat of the night
I'll save every
penny for that holiday in
Even buy you
the shades to match our new home
And if you take
the time to understand
Deep down
inside you'll find an honest man
No that wasn't me last night
Just words in
the heat of the night
When I ring you
up you're never at home
Always talkin' to your answer-phone
Well if you
pick it up after work tonight
Take you
downtown for the ring you like
Run you down to
Bobby's joint for a slap-up meal
Tonight I wanna tell you how I really feel
No that wasn't me last night
Just words in
the heat of the night
No that wasn't me last night
Just words in
the heat of the night
Aint Where Ya Goin'
words and music by Steve D Parker
1993
You say you
don't know what ya doin'
Everything
looks blind
Well it aint where ya goin'
It's what ya leavin' behind
Sometimes you
can hate yourself
For what you
said, what you done
Sometimes
there's no place to hide
No place to run
You say you
don't know what ya doin'
Everything
looks blind
Well it aint where ya goin'
It's what ya leavin' behind
You may find it
hard to make up
Let loose some
heat
It's hard for
you to face up
Knocked down in
defeat
You say you
don't know what ya doin'
Everything
looks blind
Well it aint where ya goin'
It's what ya leavin' behind.
All
I Wanted
words and music by Steve D Parker
1994
Well you set my
heart on fire
Yours stayed
cool
You played for
my desire
I played the
fool
All I wanted .....
A kiss from you
I let you in my
dreams
I couldn't find
yours
I could hear
your screams
But I couldn't
find the door
Well you set my
heart on fire
Yours stayed
cool
You played for
my desire
I played the
fool
All I wanted .....
A kiss from you
You drove me
crazy
With every word
you spoke
Everything
looked hazy
With just a
hint of rose
Well you set my
heart on fire
Yours stayed
cool
You played for
my desire
I played the
fool
All I wanted .....
A kiss from you
All I wanted .....
And Then It Rained
words and music by Steve D Parker
the wheels kept turnin', the sun
kept shinin'
the weed kept burnin', and the
words kept rhymin'
but then it rained
oh how it rained
the heart kept beatin', a winnin' and a losin'
stealin' and a cheatin',
smokin' and a boozin'
but then it rained
oh how it rained
the days kept risin', we kept movin'
words that you're writin', rings
that I'm losin'
but then it rained
oh how it rained
the pains kept comin', but I kept singin'
the drummer kept a drummin', the
bells kept a ringin'
the clouds kept on rollin', the
tears kept fallin'
darkness was driftin', voices kept
on callin'
but then it rained
oh how it rained
but then it rained
oh how it rained
but then it rained
oh how it rained
but then it rained
oh how it rained
Heart pain.
Blue
words and music by Steve D Parker
I walk through
woodlands, following a stream
you walking behind, me in a dream
talk 'bout the blind, leading the blind
if you don't hurry up, I'll be leavin'
you behind
Oh, come on,
come on Blue
days like this, glad it's me 'n' you
Don't know how
far we're goin', just stick to the path
the sticks that I'm throwing, seem to make you laugh
I know you'll
like it, you've been this way once before
you'd be a hero, if this was be a war
lets rest by the bankin', I'll
tell you my wishes
you get so excited, smother me with your kisses
talk 'bout the blind, leading the blind
if you don't hurry up, I'll be leavin'
you behind
Oh, come on,
come on Blue
days like this, glad it's me 'n' you
The sun's goin' down, better be headin'
back
we can go this way, and make fresh tracks
over the bridge, we'll be home soon
and we'll eat our supper, under the moon
I 'll build us a fire, with the
moonlight
watch the flames, point at the starry night
I'll steal one
for you, Blue
I'll steal one
for you
Oh, come on,
come on Blue
days like this, be me 'n' you
Oh, come on,
come on Blue
days like this, I miss you
talk 'bout the blind, leading the blind
if you don't hurry up, I'll be leavin'
you behind.
Brotherhood
words and music by Steve D Parker
1989
The engines
sound like thunder
I could hear
the little girls scream
Some kid
smashed his Honda
While ridin' in his Harley dream
Found lyin' oh no
In a pool of
blood
A knife in the
back
A kick in the
guts
From the local
brotherhood
In the distance
sirens break the night
The punks all fleee the scene
Leavin' some young kid dieing in fright
Tryin' to hold on to his dream
Left cryin' oh no
In a pool of
blood
A knife in the
back
A kick in the
guts
From the local
brotherhood
Let it riff
Now his young
life flashed before him
His dreams
began to fade
He was holdin' hands with Heaven
But quickly losin' faith
Left diein' oh no
In a pool of
blood
A knife in the
back
A kick in the
guts
From the local
brotherhood
Found diein' oh no
In a pool of
blood
A knife in the
back
A kick in the
guts
From the local
brotherhood
Bumper
to Bumper
words and music by Steve D Parker
1991
Chris and Steve
picked up Steph and Brenda
went out racin' fender to fender
Into the night
of a red hot summer
Music blastin' bumper to bumper
Met up with
Ross went to see the Solid Senders
Man they were rockin' Fender to Fenders
Chris and Steph danced number after number
Hands holdin' on bumper to bumper
Out in the car park Steve and Brenda
Gettin' it on to the sound of Fenders
Unzipped her
jeans pulled off her jumper
Man they were rockin' bumperty bumper
Chris came callin' Steve's surrender
Jumpin' up and down on his rear fender
Ross came tootin' UMPHA UMPHA
Brenda
struggled back into her jumper
Drove out to
the country while the night was tender
They were
parked down Lover's Lane fender to fender
Ross took off
with some sweet little hummer
The others
squeezed in bumper to bumper
Down here
there's no surrender
Girls all sing
like tuned up fenders
Same every
night summer after summer
Music blastin' bumper to bumper
Cherry
Tree
words and music by Steve D Parker
1991
Underneath the
cherry tree
I wanted you you wanted me
We watched our
love blossom in the breeze
Underneath the
cherry tree
Underneath an
April sky
We crossed our
hearts and hoped to die
We watched the
clouds floatin' by
Underneath an
April sky
Underneath a risin' Moon
We sang our
lovers tune
We planned to
marry in the month of June
Underneath a wanin' Moon
Underneath a
starlit night
We saw a shootin' star shootin' by
You turned my
wish into a lie
Underneath a
starless night
Underneath a cryin' Moon
All our
troubles came too soon
You forgot the
words to our lovers tune
Da da da
da da da
do
Underneath the
cherry tree
All the blossom has fallen free
Well tonight
there's only me
Underneath the cherry tree.
Come
On Home
words and music by Steve D Parker
1993
Say the way ya pa packed his bags
Left you and ma
feelin' hurt
Went to stop at
your grandma's house
While your ma
went out to work
She managed to
get you into school
Bought you everythin' her money could buy
Every night
there'd be some strong words
Wouldn't stop
'til you made each other cry
Oh sleepless
nights wonderin' why
This life
seemed to treat you wrong
Promised ya ma wont turn out like pa
And that you'd
never turn and run
Well ya ma you know tried her best
Make everything
seem right
You forgot the
promises that you made
And followed in
your father's plight
( chorus )
Oh baby baby come on home didn't want this for you
Baby baby come on home this world was made for two
Baby baby come on home didn't want this for you
Baby baby where ever you roam this world was made for two
Say the way you
packed ya bags
Left ya ma feelin' hurt
Now she cries
herself to sleep at night
Hopin' that her prayers are heard
( chorus )
Oh baby baby come on home didn't want this for you
Baby baby come on home this world was made for two
Baby baby come on home didn't want this for you
Baby baby where ever you roam this world was made for two
Countin' the Stars
words and music by Steve D Parker
1993
First time I
saw you you had me seeing stars
Like beauty and
the beast we were poles apart
Well the nerves
were janglin' and my stomach felt tight
And I was left countin' the stars in the night
Countin' the stars in the night in the night
First time I
ever got to taste your lips
Well my lights
went out like a total eclipse
With legs like
jelly well I held on tight
And I was left countin' the stars in the night
Countin' the stars in the night in the night
First time we
made love well I made you scream
That's the
first time I've been awake inside my dream
Well with every
stroke well you held on tight
And I was left countin' the stars in the night
Countin' the stars in the night in the night
First time I
saw you with another man
You know I
found it hard to understand
Well I guess
six rounds never made things right
And I was left countin' the stars in the night
Countin' the stars in the night in the night
First time I
stood alone out on Lovers Leap
Where the pains
of love run true and run deep
Well my nerves
were janglin' and my stomach felt tight
And there's not
a single star for me to count tonight
Countin' the stars
Countin' the stars
Countin' the stars in the night in the night.
Days
Gone By
words and music by Steve D Parker
1993
I remember when
I was young
Summers hot and
so much fun
Birthdays
seemed to take forever
And all the
family so close together
Well I guess
They were the
best
Days gone by
When I think
back to my early days in school
Gala days at
that old swimmin' pool
Nights playin' football in the local park
And dad shoutin' me ' Home before dark '
Well I guess
They were the
best
Days gone by
Summer of sixty
six Sandi came along
Wasn't long
before we were movin' on
A bigger house
in a nice neighbourhood
Guess that's
were I found my first love
Well I guess
They were the
best
Days gone by
Those big
occasions and those family do's
Christmas
Easter and Bon Fire Night too
And those
family summers spent by the coast
They'd be the
times I'd cherish the most
Now the family
has grown and lost one by one
The politics of
life seem to spoil all the fun
Memories flood
back once in awhile
The memories I
like the best raise a smile
Yeah I guess
They were the
best
Days gone by.
Desire
words and music by Steve D Parker
1994
Want to hold
you in my arms
Look deep into
your eyes
Entranced by
your beauty
Let's watch the
sun rise
Oh, just the
two of us
You're the
Angel of my Desire
The Princess of
my Sleep
You set my
heart on fire
I'm a prisoner
of your keep
Last night I
saw a lonely star
For you I made
my wish
You may have
fallen out of Heaven
But, Hell is
love without a kiss
oh, when I go to bed at night
I find it hard
to sleep
Each time I
close my eyes
