I'm Gonna Be a Pop Star, by Zak Blueslade
Watch me fall, watch me rise
See me celebrate now the world is mine
Feeling down, turn me up
If you think about long enough
(Chorus)
I'm gonna be a Pop Star
I'm gonna make you feel so good when you
Put the record on, put the record on
Round and round again.
I'm gonna be a Pop Star
It doesn't matter who you are when you
Put the record on, put the record on
Round and round again
(Bridge)
Round and round again
Like the carousel lights so warm inside
Hear the sound again, just like before
Round and round again
So compatible with the chords are in tune
Make you better, love life any more
(Chorus)
I'm gonna be a Pop Star
I'm gonna take you who you are when you
Put the record on, put the record on
Round and round again.
I'm gonna be a Pop Star
I can imagine where you are when you
Put the record on, put the record on
Round and round again
Let me fly, far away
You can let it all out and be ok
Upside down, beat inside
Let the melody come alive
Chorus
Instrumental
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
Round and round again...

Too Easily, by Zak Blueslade
Maybe a friendly one
One at the till
Something she says to me is what feels so real
But it's All day long, thinking of her, watching the world go by.
Why does it happen with every girl that I see, oh,oh,oh
(Chorus)
Cos I fall in love too easily, oh yes I do I really
Fall in love too easily, easily
Now I know, got to be here to be a part of the show
Cause I fall in love too easily
She could be a stewardess
Or work in a bar
Even my doctor now
I don't care who they are
But all day long, thinking of her, watching the world go by.
Baby baby, I don't think maybe you know...
That I fall in love too easily, I must be good at it
I fall in love too easily, easily
I don't mind trying it on but it's a waste of time
Cause I fall into love too easily now
(Bridge)
Just a word and then it starts
Filling up with broken hearts
Now I see her now I don't cos it's over.
Chorus

Beautiful Baby, by Zak Blueslade
Every time I see your face
Take me to another place
Warmer than summer in a bottle
You've got a special way
I bet you were a beautiful baby, in your arms tonight
I bet you were a beautiful baby, in your arms tonight
I don't need a friend till the very end
I won't say to you girl
Honey there's more to me than meets the eye
I don't care any more
I bet you were a beautiful baby, in your arms tonight
Pretty sure you've got someone
Knowing you is half the fun
Deeper than ever, getting stronger
You know what's done is done
I bet you there's a beautiful baby, in your arms, tonight
I bet you there's a beautiful baby, in your arms, tonight
And I won't say no, when the feelings show me up with you girl
Darling there's nothing more than there was before
But I don't care anyway
I bet you there's a beautiful baby, in your arms, tonight
Instrumental
I bet you were a beautiful baby, in your arms tonight (oh yeah)
I bet you were a beautiful baby, in your arms tonight
I don't need a friend till the very end, I won't say to you girl
Honey it's nice of you to be there for me
It's so good when you are
I bet you've got a magical baby, in your arms tonight
In your arms tonight
In your arms tonight
Tonight

Summer On, by Zak Blueslade
Summertime, it's like a little bit more tonight
(Chorus)
Let the world bring Summer on, Summer on, Summer on
Let the world bring Summer on, Summer on, Summer on
Go high tonight, don't let the rhythm bight
Just move me inside when the sun goes down
Cos I said, lovin' you is all, all I wanna do, because
I see the light when the moon is round, round, round
Summertime, there's something tangible in the sky
Chorus
Go high tonight, Let's get the feeling right
Just stay here it's live till the sun goes down
Cos I said hazy breeze, so cool, you want to take it easy but
I feel alive when the moon is round, round, round
Instrumental
So I said...
Summer on now, Summer on now, Summer all the time, and I said...
Summer on now, Summer on now, Summer all the time
Look up in the air, you stop and you stare
Evrything is blue by the sea and you're there.
You drink lemonade, with bucket and spade
You dig a hole and fall in the one that you made
You run on the sand, sounds like a new band
Candy floss is all over evryone's hand
You don't wanna stay, you don't wanna go
You don't know what you want, when you want, but you're part of the show
Summer on now, Summer on now, Summer all the time
Summer on now, Summer on now, Summer all the time
Summer sky, it's like a colourful cherry wine
Chorus
Say hi tonight, so good to be alive
Just move me inside when the sun goes down, down, down.
Cos I said, loving you is all,
Anything is possible if you talk to me when the sun goes down.

Emily Wood, by Zak Blueslade
Emily would, if I let her
Maybe I should go one better and ask her
if she feels the same way
Emily Would tell me whether
She understood my endeavour to know her
Even if it's in vain
(Chorus)
Emily Wood be the place to go
if I could when the bluebells show
and the springtime dawns
and the dewdrops fall
Emily Wood be in love with me,
Far away, by the maple trees
and the sunshine bright, making shady light
Emily Wood, you're my best friend
Deep in a book, you're a beautiful lady
and a wonderful blend
Would Emilie take my hand in matrimony
on a magical some day, down in Emily Wood
Emily Wood is the place to go
and I could on a TV show
in the autumn time, with the dappled light
Emily Wood be a dream come true
if I could deep in love with you
in the morning light, with the pale blue sky
(Instrumental)
Emily would, if I let her
Maybe I should go one better and ask her
if she feels the same way
Emily, maybe I will, maybe I won't
Maybe I do, maybe I don't
Maybe it would be a dream come true
If I could fall in love with you
When the blossom shows, and the river flows
Where the grass is green, like it's never been
Where the passion fruit, never tasted so good
Tonight, in Emily Wood.
Oh when the light's down low, in Emily Wood
There's a golden glow, in Emily Wood
Tonight, that's right, in Emily Wood

So Do I, by Zak Blueslade
You watch Jurassic Park a lot. So do I
I like the best bits
They make me want to cry
You're always on the internet. So am I
Catch me on Facebook
Tweet me tonight
[Chorus]
Oh, with all these common pleasures
Oh, we like what the other likes
Yeah, we're made for one another
Oh, you give me the appetite
You've got a record player. So have I
I like the scratches
They make it sound alive
You do the Word Search every day. So do I
I like diagonals
They're really hard to find, now
Chorus
Oh, you give me another night
I seem to like all the things you care about
It must be right for me and you, oh, oh, oh
And if you want to take me, forever back to safety
I won't say no, I never do, oh, oh
I want to tell you every day, I'm alive
Don't think it's over
You'll be the rest of my life
I hear your record playing, every night
Don't turn it over
There's nothing on the other side, because
Oh, We're on this road together
Ooh, sharing everything.
Oh, it's gonna stay like this forever
Yeah, cos we Let one another win

I Try, by Zak Blueslade
I'm no Leona Lewis, but I try, I try
I'm no Leona Lewis, but I try, I try
I'm no Leona Lewis
and when it takes all night
I'm no Leona Lewis but I try
The chances are, I'm singing a song
It's all in my head, and making me strong
I feel the words inside
but if it's not my key
I'll change the tune and make it work for me
I can go high, I can go low
I can go high, if it's something I know
I can go ooh, hoo, thinking of sad good times
I'm no Leona Lewis but I try
I'm no Leona Lewis now, but I keep playing along
What I'm gonna do is, know Leona Lewis through song
Into the beat, learning the tune
Not just lyrics that rhyme
I'm no Leona Lewis but that's fine
She paints a sea of honey, spreading out meadows of gold
Everything is easy, when you're in total control
Magical highs, colourful lows
Pouring out your heart in a song
That's what I really wanted all along
Feeling so high, feeling so low
Feeling so high, at the start of the show
When I go ooh, hoo, no one knows why it works
and I'm no Leona Lewis and it hurts
I'm no Leona Lewis, but I try, I do
I'm no Leona Lewis, but I do the best I can
See I'm no Leona Lewis, and when the sun goes by
Then I'm no Leona Lewis but I try.

Dark, By Zak Blueslade
I don't care what you've been saying
I don't care what's going on
Day by day it's like you're holding me
Responsible for everything that's wrong
Work all day no time for passion
Deep inside it's history
Upside down is now the right way up
Your record's gone and now it's on for me
(Chorus 1)
Cos I'm all alone this evening
And I'm hearing what you say
When there's no tomorrow
Yesterday seems better than today
I don't want to last for ever
Take my life - a mystery
Read my mind and tell me what you find
I'll talk to you just like you do for free
(Chorus 2)
Cos I'm all alone this evening
And I'm feeling quite alive
And I want to tell you everything
but now is not the time
Cos it's dark
Dark out
So dark inside
Instrumental
Wake me up in time for passion
Take me down to level two
Bring me out so I can breathe again
Invincible intangible in you
Chorus 2
Cos it's dark
It's Dark out
Dark inside, yeah.

Inside, By Zak Blueslade
I feel inside the love I hide
but I don't tell you everything, oh,oh,no
Because if I did, it would lift a lid
and the pain would roll down into you, oh,oh,oh
Like a lover inside, with no other to find
There's nothing left to empty out
When all your clothes are frayed
Like a lover, I feel betrayed
The days are cold, I feel so very old
But I still keep buttoned up inside, hey-ay-ay
Like a lover, in time to discover it's right
To fear the truth, a wasted youth
So I won't get any joy
Like a lover, I hear your voice
Your voice is like an echo to me
Like a torch inside, it soothes me
and makes me feel so real
The thoughts are deep, so long to sleep
But I don't like belonging to anyone
Like a lover, so tied to another, but why
It's all pretense, and so intense
That I won't let them play
Like a lover, I'll find a way, a way, a way

Normality, by Zak Blueslade
No money in the fridge
No fridge in the car
No car on the beach
No beach on a star
No star in the closet
No clothes outside
Everything is normal round here
Everything is normal round here - alright
Don't misunderstand me
Don't stand too close
Don't close me down now
Not down the road
Go out together
Stay in tonight
Just how it should be
Feeling right
No winning on the home straight
No straight to bed
No beds in the workplace
No place instead
No home to go to
No too brown-eyed
Just being normal
Satisfied
Don't take me forever
Don't leave me alone
Don't loan me some money
High fives on the phone
Don't wake me up now
Don't let me sleep
Everything is normal round here
Now I'm in too deep
