Written by: Clay Bell It’s the devil that makes me Write these songs Sad and blue Do do do do do I don’t know why He’s just using me To speak to you Do do do do do Now you’re looking after number 1 And I don’t blame you If that’s what you choose to do Because who Looks after you? You once believed in humanity And that brother looks after brother Now you awoken from that dream And found the real world is quite another So you’re looking after number 1 And I don’t blame you If that’s what you choose to do Because who (Who who who, who who who) Looks after you? (Who who who, who who who) Oh yea who (Who who who, who who who) Looks after you (Who who who, who who who) No ones pullin’ out their hair Worryin’ (about you) No ones stayin’ up late at night Worryin’ (about you) So if you’re in a self destructive phase I can’t blame you For what your about to do Because who (Who who who, who who who) Looks after you (Who who who, who who who) Oh yea who (Who who who, who who who) Looks after you (Who who who, who who who) It’s the devil that makes me write these songs

Marketplace 02:06
Market Place
Written by: Clay Bell In the market place Scanning the crowds for a cool face Searching for a smile I might forget yours For a little while Gather my senses, building fences To no avail, only fail To meet you there Oh more than an hour before In the market place Trip down isle five Don’t change my mind Read a label to All my thoughts still belong Just to you Gather my senses, building fences To no avail, only fail To meet you there Oh more than an hour before In the market place In the market place

Oblivion 03:45
Oblivion
Written by: Clay Bell Would you searching for something beautiful Someone precious and true I believe that love is out there Please tell me I am not lead astray The rain it never fell What does it matter now? You nourished me back to health What does it matter now? If you and I never fail What does it matter now? The rain it never fell What does it matter? I can see tomorrow’s warm rays Looking brighter than today’s cold wave I know that you are out there Please tell me I am not lead astray The rain it never fell What does it matter now? You nourished me back to health What does it matter now? If you and I never fail What does it matter now? The rain it never fell What does it matter? I don’t want to slip into oblivion again I won’t close my eyes and let the darkness win That’s oblivion. If you and I never fail What does it matter now? The rain it never fell What does it matter now? (Would you searching for something) Matter Now (Someone precious and true) Matter Now (Would you searching for something) (Someone precious and true)

Gave Up 03:14
Gave Up
Written by: Clay Bell Oh how could it be that I see The chestnuts in bloom And feel nothing After you gave up dear was Never quite enough dear After you gave up It used to be but not that low A bluebird’s song could sooth my soul After you gave up dear was Never quite enough dear After you gave up You don’t make it easy You don’t make it easy You don’t make it easy You won’t make it easy Missing you like I do You don’t make it easy You don’t make it easy You don’t make it easy You don’t make it easy Missing you like I do Cause after you gave up dear was Never quite enough dear After you gave up After you gave up After you gave up dear was Never quite enough dear After you gave up

Love is a Road
 Have you seen the nighttime daydream that is her skin Shows me domination is a game that no one wins Loves just a word Let it serve Like a road that leads me back To her, back to her Love is a road I have seen the nighttime darker when she’s not around I can feel her ghost beside me at anytime I have found Loves just a word Let it serve Like a road that leads me back To her, back to her Love is a road Life gets hazy, no direction We all twistin the wind Get lost at times Destination seems out of reach Give it time & you might find That love is a road Loves just a word Let it serve Like a road that leads me back To her, back to her Love is a road

Sarah’s Sunshine
Written by: Clay Bell I’m the type to wish on stars Wherever you are I wish I were there Traveled halfway around the world Just to lose a girl From my own hometown I am riding someone else’s high On a matchbook on now that I love Inscribed inside is a hand drawn sun It’s signed by “Sarah – with love” Now I’m holding on to Sarah’s sunshine Feels so warm against my skin Holding on to Sarah’s sunshine And thinking of what could have been Last call had been called Just you against the wall With neon hair Took a walk down a dirt road Just west of Birmingham Where my heart lay exposed We talked of love We talked of pain Until the sun came But you never told me your name In my coat pocket You slipped your gift With a slight of hand And now I’m just trying to understand So I’m holding on to Sarah’s sunshine Feels so warm against my skin Holding on to Sarah’s sunshine And thinking of what could have been Nowhere to write, nowhere to call And I can’t reach out to Sarah at all It coulda’ been bad, it coulda’ been great A mistake, but the worst part Is we’ll never, we’ll never know So I’m holding on to Sarah’s sunshine Feels so warm against my skin Holding on to Sarah’s sunshine And thinking of what could have been

Say I Love You
Written by: Clay Bell Well it just hit me Now I know That you and I are through For the days we have spent And everything we meant I’ll cherish through & through So I must say That I won’t regret a single day Of time spent with you. And as a matter of fact Just glad I got the chance To say I love you. It all happened so fast I nearly missed my chance But now I’ve turned back around But I won’t bear the weight Of a single thought of hate With regards to you So I must say That I won’t regret a single day Of time spent with you. And as a matter of fact Just glad I got the chance To say I love you. To say I love you. To say I love you.
