Two Times Love Is One
(Jonas Rendbo/Lynden David Hall)
You introduced me to the deuce
State of bliss – sweet kiss
That high i really need
For me – no higher than this
With this devil on my shoulder
and this monkey on my back
Tho im tryin to make a million
Im not feeling contracts
You put it on me
Tattoed your love on me permanently
Its there in your eyes
I can see right thru it
I cant disguise
Two times love is one
Im burning in your sun
Soul shine spirit free
When you make me believe
Two times love is one
When all is said and done
You’re my perfect company
You made me kill another cool
Change my game – thats the rule
Now my cards are in the open
I should have know – Im such a fool
You delivered me from pain
Kept a brother sane – I must resist
This wickedness of man
Milk & honey land cant compare to this
You put it on me...
Two times love is one...
I’d spent my last days with you
If there’s ever a worry
We can work it through
Two times love is one...

Chariot

Chariot
(jonasrendbo/kevinmarktrail)
Step by step
I make my way
Thru this ghost town
Try not to look
Its best to keep
My head down
When the cold wind blows
In the city
And above is only
Grey clouds
So right and left we go
Searching for the light
That will carry us home
A trumpet sounds
I hear it in the distance now
A trumpet sounds
Tell me can you hear it now?
I need to see to believe…
Chariot – chariot
Come forth to carry me home
Chariot – chariot
Help me to carry the load
I got a bag full of money
And girls sweet like honey
But nothing satisfies my soul
My heaven’s on fire
I need to get higher
But I’m cold
Come forth to carry me home
Im blending in
Becoming one with the
Walls now
Im watching them
They’re all trying not
To stand out
While we’re dancing round
In circles
Trying to figure out
Who is the prey
So on and on we go
Moving further from the light
That will carry us home

Crash And Burn
(kevinmarktrail/jonasrendbo)
I know everybody’s got their problems
Its hard when you’re feeling all alone
You should try to reach out for somebody
Mine is a hand that you can hold
Fly with me, high above the ground
You will see we are lost and found
From this view we all look the same
And only a few are controlling things
Come and walk with me
There’s people dying, and grown men lying
Take in all you see
Homeless children, who will save them
There’s a lesson to be learned
Discrimination, war and hatred
Or we’re gonna crash and burn
Are we gonna crash and burn?
Everyday it seems to get harder
And situations get you down
Getting nowhere you’re just treading water
Trying to scream, got to get out
Fly with me, take it to the sky
Way up high, there’s just you and I
Get away from this earthly place
When its too much staying in this race
(Chorus)
Think its time to plant a seed
Cause contrary to their beliefs
I believe in common man
We’ll find peace and understanding
They try to lead us astray
But they wont take my joy away
Got to find hope in ourselves
We refuse to live in hell
Not gon’ let them keep us down
Not gon’ let them shut us out
Let every voice be heard
Its time to spread the word
(Pre-chorus 1 - Chorus 1)
Come and walk with me
Desperation, fallen angels
Take in all you see
Chasing paper, slavery labor
There’s a lesson to be learned
You know you ought to love thy neighbour
Or we’re gonna crash and burn
I don’t wanna crash and burn

Balance On The End
(Quilter/Rendbo/Fridell)
To say the unsayable
The wait begins again
Waiting for you to speak
Everything stops, like traffic in heat
Oh is it already monday
The scent of you still sits
Like chocolate on my tongue
Hungry for more of you again
Oh I must be going crazy
The time between the waking and sleeping
Where life comes into play
Im so used to feeling your breath on me
Thats the time I miss you more
And the balance on the end
Just when I thought that it was easy
You start it over again
And I dont feel like making up, right now
Even tho its the best part
Could you just sit still
And enjoy the moment
Forget that time is asking
All the things we cannot answer
Oh did you just leave again?
The time between the waking and sleeping...
I just checked in, and you checked out
How hard can it be to get it right
Im sure this could be so much easier
But we both like to tear everything apart
The time between the waking and sleeping...

ELECTRIC
(Jonas Rendbo, Marc Nelkin)
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS FEELING IS
NEVER FELT SOMETHING QUIET LIKE THIS
I’M ON A HIGH I DON’T KNOW WHY
ALL I KNOW IS I CAN’T RESIST
GO AND DO YOUR TRICK
DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I’M LOVIN” IT
I’M LETTING GO OF EVERYTHING
YOU TAKE CONTROL OF ME BIT BY BIT
I’M ELECTRIC WHEN YOU TOUCH ME
FEEL A SHIVER IN MY BONES
SKIP A HEARTBEAT
HIGH ON YOUR ENERGY
THAT’S THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL
YOU GOT ME ELECTRIC
IT’S ELECTRIC
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M GONNA DO
I’M SO CONFUSED DON’T HAVE A CLUE
CAN FIND MY WAY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
EVER SINCE YOU GOT ME HOOKED ON YOU
GO AND LEAD ME ON
I WILL PLAY THE FOOL THOUGH I KNOW IT’S WRONG
IT DOESN’T MATTER TO ME WHERE WE GO
CAN’T FIGHT THIS FEELING IT’S MUCH TO STRONG
CHORUS
CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT YOU’VE DONE
YOU’VE FOUND MY SWITCH AND YOU’VE TURNED IT ON
YOU TURNED IT ON
CHORUS

Hopes Are High
(Jonas Rendbo, Roland Aki Lye Fook)
Was it all just a dream
So it seemed
Only here for one minute
Then gone with the wind
Did I trip, or did I fall?
I must have slipped
Cause my ear’s to the ground
And it seems I need to be hearing something
Something you said was showing me
Im not always living out my dream
And now I know its not wrong
For me to be dreaming of better things
And so my hopes are high
That’s the only way I stay alive
In order to survive
I keep looking to the sky
Seems to be making sense
In my world
Maybe not in somebody elses
But you cant win them all
Privately for you to see
I believe
We’re all put here to do something
And you’re gonna be what you leave behind
Sometimes it seems my kindness is
Simply mistaken for weakness
I think we need positivety
I’ll keep dreaming with my eyes wide open
And so my hopes are high
That’s the only way I stay alive
In order to survive
I keep looking to the sky

Light My Fire
(Paul Ewing / Jonas Rendbo)
I’ve been scraping the floors
Been asking for more than i could possibly need
I been down on my knees
But still so far from making peace with it
And Im still searching
Im still tryin to figure it out
And I will get there
Yeah I will get above the clouds
Lift me up, I need to go higher
Raise me up, so I can shine on
Fill me up, with all I desire
Cause I’ve been in the dark
And I need a spark to light my fire
I been drivin too fast
Goin thru tunnels with no light at the end
Trouble knocking my door
Every time I seem so close to makin amends
But Im still reaching
Im still re-adjusting my sight
And will get there
Yeah I will get into the light
Lift me up, I need to go higher...
Oh - I cant make it on my own
Pick me up I’ve been so low
Like a king without a throne
Cant find my own nowhere
Oh – Something happened down the road
I was so out of control
Lost my sight of where to go
But I know I will get there
Lift me up, I need to go higher...

Not What You Want
(Jonas Rendbo, Nicola Quilter)
It is a walk in the park
Easy like bright summer days
You’re making it hard
We should be on the home straight
It is the tide going out
We’re in a wide open space
But you’re closing down
And stop where we should start
Its all sown up
But you’re coming apart
Its not what you want
But just what you need
Its always on time
Even if you don’t see
You don’t wanna stay
But cant seem to go
You’re looking for change
But still you keep holding on
Its all right here
You know its not that hard
But its not what you want
Its where the red lights turn green
You close your eyes
Cause you don’t know what it means
It is a hop, skip and jump
You want to make it a fall
You keep giving up
When you need to believe
The water’s on boil
But you keep throwing in cold
Its not what you want...

Whisper
(Jonas Rendbo, Kevin Mark Trail)
If put down my bow and arrow
And stopped playing cowboys and Indians
Would you stay
Child
And if stopped the playful teasing
Shared something I believe in
Could I change
Your mind
Whisper
I wont tell a soul
Tell me how you feel
Whisper
You’re on the edge, you’re falling off
How do I tell you how to stop
Im watching
The night chasing the day
Am I still significant
Our roles, to me, aren’t so clear
Im doubting
Running thru my head
Whisper
I wont tell a soul
Tell me how you feel
Whisper
Can I hold your hand
Make me understand
Am I still the one
Tell me we cant be undone
Love you need to let me know
Whisper
I wont tell a soul
Tell me how you feel
Whisper

Sensational
(Omar Lyefook, Roland Aki Lyefook, Jonas Rendbo)
Blazing rays of light
Blinding me
Finding me – baby
Im in your eyesight
You got me
On lockdown in a minute
I couldn’t run away
Even if I tried
You got me so caught up
Its not even funny – no
Not forcing me to stay
But somehow
Im mesmerized
Didn’t see this coming
Could it be you’re sensational?
It could be you’re sensational!
Bring me back to life (x2)
Your presence overcomes me
Im coming over
Completely in your space
I picture you picturing me
In my head
I cant seem to erase
I couldn’t see at first
What you did
To win me – win me over
Im lost without a trace
Cant go back
This time I think
The war is over
Chorus - Vamp

My Trust In You
(Jonas Rendbo, Roland Aki Lyefook)
I think we started out on the good foot
As I understood we had an understanding
Things were easy, things were good
We both knew where we wanted to be landing
Same mission – same goals
Same love for the soul
Same reasons to go
Forward
Going there – go on
You ended elsewhere – you were gone
Gone fishing on your own
Im abandoned
I lost my trust in you
The things you do
The things you say
The games you play
End of the line
Im out of time
No more to do
I lost my trust in you
You were busy making your own plans
Counting on that I would be right behind you
You’re sneaking round behind my back
When the surface starts to crack
Im discovering the real truth
Same stories – same lies
Same look in your eyes
Same crazy alibies
Not ratin
How did it get – get to this
You aim but you miss
My aim is not to diss
Im not hatin... but

Time is working for you
(Jonas Rendbo, Simon King)
Too late I missed it
My train has left
Its no big deal
Another one is on its way
Im thru with rushing
Running out of time
Gonna take the backseat for a while
Flashing lights, timetables
Rotors under pressure
Are we fooling ourselves
Gonna take some time to decide
Are we just slaves to the rhythm?
Caught in the middle
Where are we going?
Only time will tell
So why don’t we stop for a minute
There’s no limits
Take the slow lane
It will happen soon
Time is working for you
Think we’ve departed
Or right back where we started
This doesn’t look like
Anything I know
Gonna make some changes
Moving forward now
Going where the road takes us
Journey on forever
Don’t care bout the weather
Nothing stands in our way
Its time for us to decide
Are we just slaves to the rhythm...
Better sit back for a minute
Its out of your control
When you’re gonna get it
Just relax for a while
And you will see things in a brand new light
Are we just slaves to the rhythm…

Too Close, Too Far
(Jonas Rendbo, Kevin Mark Trail)
We’re too close to realize
At times we take for granted
Love we think we own
We’re too far to make a fire
Is it too late to reach for love
I just don’t know
Other people just don’t get it
If you cant love me like you said
Love don’t live here like you promised
Feels like Im walking with the dead
Too hot to handle
Too cold to hold
Love if you don’t love me
Let me go
Too hot to handle
Too cold to hold
Love if you don’t need me
Im knocking on the wrong door
We’re too proud to sacrifice
About to lose the best thing
I have ever known
Your eyes could never hide
And as we walk away
We both know that its wrong
Im not searching for somebody
Cause I found myself in you
Now that Im right back where we started
Trying to see your point of view
Chorus
If all is fair in love and war
Then why cant we
Why cant we work it out?
Why is this so hard?
Chorus
