TLDR – Highway 62

Highway 62 - tldr

The first step to making something happen
Is the discipline of writing it down
So free your mind
Feel the words flow naturally
Until it all comes tumbling out

Dot your 'I's and cross your 'T's
Let your pen run wild
Good grammar is essential
My child

tldr, that's OK
Better be real than a liar
I'm gonna say it anyway
And set the world on fire
tldr, that's alright
I'd rather be long than wrong
I'm gonna turn it into art
That's how I wrote this song

(Oh girl, oh girl)

Just imagine you're the one you're writing to
How does what you're reading make you feel?
Does it move you, do the words inspire you?
What's the inner meaning they reveal?

From Hegel back to Socrates
The truth's it's own reward
The humble pen is deadlier
Than the sword

tldr, that's OK
Better be real than a liar
I'm gonna say it anyway
And set the world on fire
tldr, that's alright
I'd rather be long than wrong
I'm gonna turn it into art
That's how I wrote this song

(Oh girl, oh girl)

tldr, that's OK
Better be real than a liar
I'm gonna say it anyway
And set the world on fire
tldr, that's alright
I'd rather be long than wrong
I'm gonna turn it into art
That's how I wrote this song

Problematic

Problematic
Yeah, damn straight
I'm problematic
You don't control me
And you just can't stand it
You tried to mould me
But you could not manage
Hell no

It's really very simple
How can I make it plain?
If you ever tell me what to think
I'll fire a rocket through your brain
It's not that I'm a hater
Got a lot of love inside
But I'm craving dialectic
Not just rhetoric and lies

Cos I'm problematic
Yeah, damn straight
I'm problematic
You don't control me
And you just can't stand it
You tried to mould me
But you could not manage
Hell no

You don't even know me
You don't even know me
Or what I've been through
You don't even know me
You don't even know me
Or what I've been through
You don't even know me
Or what I've been through
So no, you don't get to judge me
Only God sees the truth
You don't even know me
Or what I've been through
So no, you don't get to judge me
Only God sees the truth

Problematic
Yeah, damn straight
I'm problematic
You don't control me
And you just can't stand it
You tried to mould me
But you could not manage
Hell no

S - O - S (Rebirth)

Now I'm the captain of a lifeboat
And I'm responsible for all the crew
And I'll be getting out the lifeboat
If anybody is upsetting you

Are you lonely?
Is your ship wrecked?
If you say you love me only
I'll throw a lifejacket
Around your neck
If you're in deep water baby
I will be your buoy

Are you sending out an S - O - S?
Honey are you in distress?
Are you sending out an S - O - S?

(Sending out an S - O - S)

If you were climbing up a mountain
And you got caught inside an avalanche
Well I'll come running up the mountain
I'll find you hanging from your olive branch

Send a signal
Just let me know
That you really do adore me
And I'll come bounding up
Through the snow
I'll be your St Bernard baby
I will keep you warm

Are you sending out an S - O - S?
Honey are you in distress?
Are you sending out an S - O - S?

(Sending out an S - O - S)

Mayday, Mayday
Mayday, Mayday

(Sending out an S - O - S)

Are you sending out an S - O - S?
Honey are you in distress?
Are you sending out an S - O - S?

(Sending out an S - O - S)

Green Lady

My heart's on fire
Still burning with desire
I've been dying to hear from you girl
And see your face again

My High Priestess
Earth Child and Empress
You are my inspiration
Gotta hear your voice again

I'm roaring in the wind
Oh, while the wreckers roll in
Will you choose the voice of nature
In the end

Hey Green Lady, how you keeping?
I've been having trouble sleeping
I've been critically thinking of you
My friend

The garden grows strong
The river flows on and on
Where once the field lay fallow
Now violets bloom

I remember the time
Almost seemed like you were mine
Was it just my imagination
Girl I'm asking you tonight

I'm roaring in the wind
Oh, while the wreckers roll in
Will you choose the voice of nature
In the end

Hey Green Lady, how you keeping?
I've been having trouble sleeping
I have never felt the way you made me feel
You've seen me on that screen each night
I shared my truth still it don't sit right
I've been critically thinking of you
My friend

And while you're gone
Gotta keep this feeling strong
I would leap through any hoop now
To have you here with me
So I wrote this song
Gotta send my love vibration
I'm addicted to your magic
Girl you put a spell on me

I'm roaring in the wind
Oh, while the wreckers roll in
Will you choose the voice of nature
In the end

#101

Here's my affirmation
My new terms of engagement
My pledge to be the best that I can
I'm setting out my plans
Using charts and diagrams
Gonna make myself a better man

They say that you can drive
Through the darkness of the night
Using only intuition as your light
But I prefer to see
The open road ahead of me
Distant green horizons
Stretching far and wide

All my life I've been patient
Taking each day as it comes
Cos all my life I've been waiting
For that special one
And all this time I've been working
Building a house in the sun
Maybe now you can see
It's me who should be
Your #101, #101, #101

I've watched 'em come and go
I've seen empires rise and fall
As the seasons change
And new days dawn
And when, like the moon, I've waned
I knew I would wax again
Cos an ego dies
Just to be reborn

I ain't nobody's fool
I play by the Chatham Rule
So whatever's sung remains within the song
Though these words are so sincere
Love and candy for your ears
If you turn the music down
I'll soon be gone

Sabina

What you doing now?
Are you still around?
Did you find your guy?
Did you kiss goodbye?

Oh Sabina you were cool
Way back in school
I was so intrigued
But you was out my league
Now those days are gone
We're both fully grown
But the music plays on
Yeah the music plays on

What you doing now?
Are you still around?
Did you find your guy?
Did you kiss goodbye?

Oh Sabina can't you see
Deep inside of me
My heart beats in time
With life's sweet melodies
Now the names have changed
And the places too
But the music plays on
Yeah the music plays on

What you doing now? (Sabina, Sabina)
Are you still around? (Sabina, Sabina)
Did you find your guy? (Sabina, Sabina)
Did you kiss goodbye? (Sabina my love)

(Sabina, Sabina)
(Sabina, Sabina)
(Sabina, Sabina)
(Sabina my love)

And the music plays on
Yeah the music plays on

What you doing now? (Sabina, Sabina)
Are you still around? (Sabina, Sabina)
Did you find your guy? (Sabina, Sabina)
Did you kiss goodbye? (Sabina my love)

The Justice Of Love

An ashen-faced demi awoke the next morn
Filled with contrition at what he'd just done
He'd chopped down a mountain
With the edge of his hand
He'd let loose chaos and panic
All over this city
That's the justice of love

He looked back at the carnage
As he went upon the run
All he'd wanted was adventure
Some excitement and fun
But through the thunder and the lightning
The howling wind and pouring rain
He'd brung forth fire and pain
All over this city
That's the justice of love

Beware the scales of justice
In everything you do
For what you put into the world
Will come right back to you

He spent the night praying
Forgiveness from the Lord
His intentions were noble
But his methods were flawed
See in a den of corruption
Where lies devour the truth
He'd unleashed murder and rape
All over this city
That's the justice of love

Now the ashen-faced demi
He's no longer bound and chained
Seven years in exile
Educated and retrained
He learnt that with great power
Comes responsibility
Now he spreads joy and peace
All over this city
That's the justice of love

Now he spreads joy and peace
All over this city
That's the justice of love

Highway 62 Theme (David Noakes Radio Mix)

I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap baby
I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap

Ooh I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap baby
Ooh I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap

I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap

I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap baby
I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap

Ooh yeah

I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap

Ooh I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap baby
Ooh I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap

I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap
I'm stuck in the trap

I'm stuck in the trap

I'm stuck in the trap

Ooh yeah

For You

You, you, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you

Live a little
That is what they said
When you turned around and left
For good

But the taste is bitter
Lonely in my bed
I'm thinking 'bout what we once had
It's true

You, you, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you

And it's hard to get over
Such a beautiful lie
And I still want you closer, mmm
I am longing for closure
And I'm wondering why
No, no matter what I do
I keep on falling for you

You, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you
You, you, I keep on falling for you
