Out of Time Again (song copyright)

Just asserting my copyright to the lyrics for this song:

Title: Out of Time Again

Author: Simon Michael Faulks

Out of Time Again
© Simon Faulks 2015

When things look good and they're going steady
Don't get too settled 'cos you'd better get ready
Everything we know most likely will change
And change can leave you feeling pretty strange

Gotta keep movin' things about to change
Listen to the wise man, check out the sage
The latest thing is always all the rage
Gotta keep movin' keeping on the right page

We gotta find a way to live life in the now
We gotta seize the day some way somehow CHORUS
If we refuse to move along the line
Things move on and we're out of time

Don't wanna live like a stick in the mud
You gotta move on like you know you should
But changes come and it feels so hard
But to stay in the game you gotta play that card

All of the places and all of the times
You turn on the light, and you let it shine
I don't know how but it works out fine
When I keep on going keeping on the right line

CHORUS

Rollin' Around (song Copyright notification)

Song Title: Rollin' Around

Lyrics:

Rollin' Around
© Simon Faulks 2015

You never see me - I'm always there
Nobody said - life would be fair

I generated - my own mystique
You always told me I come off like a freak

I check the time - I check it twice
No place to go - so it should suffice

You're looking past me - like I'm not there
You hurt me bad - but I try not to care

I'm tryin' too hard
To catch your eye
I do not want
This chance to go by

Anticipation
Is killing me
The next occasion
Well it may never be

Takin' a walk in the park
Figuring out what to do
Rollin' around in the dark
Never another like you

The time I saw you - the time before
I was stepping out of my front door

The look you gave me – I thought it meant
That there was just a hint of malcontent

Each time I see you – the pain it smarts
You're like a regular Queen of Hearts

You're looking past me - like I'm not there
You hurt me bad - but I try not to care

Grinding Stone lyric copyright

Laying my claim to the copyright on this song lyric:

Title: Grinding Stone

GRINDING STONE
(c) Simon Faulks 2015

I got it bad
You got it good
I never had
That's understood

It's all the same
It's all a game
You terrorise me
But I feel no shame

You got the ace
You got the face
But I keep running
In the human race

Ahh you mystify me
Ahh you slide on by me
I keep my nose to the grinding stone CHORUS (X2)
Ahh you mystify me
Ahh you slide on by me
I keep on going til I hit the zone

You never let me pass
But you should know I'm fast MIDDLE 8
You should never forget
Nobody wants to be last

It's all the same
It's all a game
You terrorise me
But I feel no shame

DOUBLE CHORUS

Song copyright: Man or a Mouse (PDQ)

I, Simon Faulks, resident of Leicester, U.K. do hereby state my ownership of the copyright of the following song:

Title: Man or a Mouse (PDQ)
Date: Tuesday January 6th 2015 9:55pm GMT

Lyrics:

Man or a Mouse (PDQ)
© Simon Faulks 2015

I got a feeling that is hard to suppress
I got a notion that you’re hard to impress
It’s second nature to me: I got to try
There’s no denying that the time’s flying by

You got a certain something je ne sais crois
It’s getting to me and-a ooh la la
I got to tell you something pdq
I got to tell you that I’m right into you

It’s all over - before it began
Feel like a boy – but I’m really a man
I’d like to take you put you in my house
I ask myself “are you a man or a mouse?”

I’ll find my courage yes I’ll pluck up the nerve
I owe it to myself it’s what I deserve
I got to find myself an opening line
I start to stutter and I’m out of my mind

I tried to tell her that “I’m so into you”
I feel like something found under her shoe
I scramble round for a witty retort
My brain screams abort plan abort

It’s all over - before it began
Feel like a boy – but I’m really a man
I’d like to take you put you in my house
I ask myself “are you a man or a mouse?”

Lord I'm here to thank you
For the love you give to me
Lord I'm here to thank you
'Cos Your love has set me free

Lord I'm here to thank you
For the love you give to me
Lord I'm here to thank you
'Cos Your love has set me free

From out of the darkness
Into Your light
Gone is the blindness
You give me sight
All of the glory
I'm giving to You
I'm singing your praises
Where praises are due

Title: Reason to Praise
Date: January 6th 2015
Here's the lyrics:

Reason to Praise: (Based on Psalm 148)
© Simon Faulks 2015

We're giving all the glory to our God bless His name
He demonstrates His power through the world He has made
We look up to the skies and see His glory displayed
Nothing can be moved once He sets it in place

At His command sun moon and stars run their course
Each one in its way reveals the one who's the source
He gives to each and every one the gifts they possess
So to Him now we come and we confess

You are Lord of all
We give to you the praise that is due to your name
You are Lord of all
You give sight to the blind
You give strength to the lame

You give me reason to praise
You give me reason to praise
You give me reason to praise Your name
You give me reason to praise
You give me reason to praise
You give me reason to praise Your name

You open out your hand to every creature on earth
Our privilege is telling all the world of Your worth
Once You have purposed, and once you have planned
None can snatch you children from out of your hand

Title: Life is for Living.

The song was written on Nov. 16th 2014, but first published here on this blog today, Jan 5th, 2015.

Here's the words:
Life is For Living: © Simon Faulks 16/11/14

Tear yourself away from the television
Remind yourself that life's for living
Spent so long letting every day pass
Stuffing your face sitting on your ass

Shoot 'em up movies getting on my nerves
Or some young hottie showing off her curves
Got to be more to life than this
I need more hit and a little less miss

Go anywhere and meet some people
Call up a friend – forget the sequel
Get out there and BE the story
Too much gut and not enough glory

Life -------- is for living
If you've been busy losing
Then get busy winning
Life ------- is for living
If the choices you made just suck
Don't sit around waiting on lady luck
Life ain't no stage rehearsal
No way to get a charge reversal
What you put in is ----- what you get out

Instrumental chorus x2

Go anywhere and meet some people
Call up a friend – forget the sequel
Get out there and BE the story
Too much gut and not enough glory

Chorus

Here's the musical score including the chords:

Love Came Down
© Simon Faulks / Kate Szejnmann 2015

Love came down
In the shape of a heavenly man
Came to do a job
Nobody else ever can

Love came down
Reaching out to me
I was wandering around
So blind I could not see

Heaven sent
With no-one to compare
You knew where I was headed
You didn’t want me there

You’ve everlasting ever-loving ever-faithful true
The Father’s only Son and that is you (x2)

Love so strong
Love so pure
Love never fails
Of that I can be sure

You’re my song
I’ll sing for-evermore
No record of wrongs?
It’s you that I adore

You’re everlasting ever loving ever-faithful true
The Father’s only Son and that is you (x4)
