COMING IN (Michelle Rounds)
I know each time you come in
You only see the side
The side that you want to see and
What everyone will hide
Do you care of feel high
Is there time for me
Or is it only feelings
For time has set you free
Bridge
Why don’t you move in your groove
So much love to work out
Want you in my circle
But where are you right now
Chorus
We talk about, try to doubt, never want to give in to a feeling of gone
Never say goodbye
Knowing that you’re near me
In heart but now in whole
Makes me cry
Listen a girl is calling you
She’s crying in her sleep
No one know she’s hurting
It’s running much too deep
She’ll keep her eyes happy
Despite everything you are
She’s got it all together
But why you be so far

Draw Blood – Michelle Rounds
Moving in darkened places
Smiling with crystal eyes
He knows just what is needed
He leave you hypnotized
What is his colour – black
What is his name
He has no fear of evil
He’ll satisfy your pain
chorus
Draw blood
From deep inside your hear
He Draw blood
From deep within your veins
He draw blood
Congealed in liquid art
He Draw blood
You’ll feel it pour like rain
I will never leave him
His curses soothe my soul
No matter where he lead me
I pay the price he toll
What is his colour – black
What is his name
He has no fear of evil
He’ll satisfy your pain
chorus
Others feel he’s wicked
He terrifies their mind
With me he only whispers
We are one of a kind

INNA CAPTIVE PLACE - Michelle Rounds
Well they say that he die from gunshot
And they say that i am bad
Yeh they say that he die with a bullet
From a gun that i never had
And they take me away from my freedom
And they taken away my child
Barb wire is my companion
Barb wire drive me wild
chorus
Jah know i did no wrong
Oh Lord i just can’t cry no longer
Inna captive place
In this here captive place
Barb wire start up my bleeding
And they won’t come again til morn
I dream of my baby beside me
I’ll be gone before the dawn

LOVE’S DIRGE - Michelle Rounds
If i could take another’s love
I’d run right out on you
I’d never turn, i’d never look to see your face
if i couold kiss another’s hands i’d let them lead me out
i’d never burn anymore, like i do
i know you don’t care for me
i’m not your cup of tea
but that’s alright, it’s not my wish to make you mine
if i could make you want me, my love is killing me
then i would rest knowing the waste is not in vain
bridge/chorus
i can bury my desire
but i can’t hide my love
oh boy, you now you’re fine
though i don’t want to make you mine
i’d be there for you should you ever want to
i go down on my knees for your smile
i beg you please just stay a while
let me feel your breath on my face
if only i could place
a chain on your desire
running deep in my soul is admiration and respect
boy you’re the best, i’ll ever know or touch again
in pain i watch you play ‘cause i know it won’t come my way
bridge/chorus

STANDING IN THE RAIN - Michelle Rounds
Water falls from the leaves above
And trickles down my face
And in the water there is love
Yeh i smile as i remember when
All i did was look at you
And listen to your brilliance
bridge
Now that you don’t call
Now that you don’t care
I smile as i remember
standing in the rain
I smile with love and sadness
Because for you i’d wait again
chorus
standing in the rain
(just killing time)
standing in the rain
(waiting for the one i love)
standing in the rain
(i wish i could be)
standing in the rain
(waiting for you just once again)
Minutes pass with thoughts of you
forever
and in my there is love
i smile as i remember when

YOU ARE - Michelle Rounds
Something bright fell in the evening sky
And i told you
And you laughed and said my wish won’t come true
But i say to you
That i make no wish
That i dream no dream
For when i’m with you
Every happiness has already come true
Another morning come with you on my mind
And i smile
And you warn me of the balance in case i laugh too long
But i say to you
That i’ve paid my dues
That i’ve known the pain
For when i’m with you
Every happiness is worth what i go through
Chorus
I don’t need falling stars
If i can hold your hand
And i don’t need rainbows
or wishbones or pots of gold
When i can see your face
When i can touch your face
Verse
Chorus
When i can love your face
Repeat last line

culture cross – Michelle Rounds
girl in the middle
neither black nor white
mixed breed, half-caste
never wrong, never right
can cut it in society
can cut it on the street
she’s just like Sonny Rollins’ saxophone
long, hard and sweet
chorus
culture cross
never at a loss
adaptable, versatile, flexible and volatile
culture cross
culture cross
never at a loss
just coloured
boy in the middle
sent him off to war
he was mixed breed, half-caste
no perfection, no flaw
met the girl in the middle
and blew her right away
they’ll think of each other with love and lust
forever and a day
chorus
bridge
where would he be
where would she be
without he
without he

TONGUE TIED Michelle Rounds 17.10.98 / 21.02.00
verse 1
figure out how you get to creepin’ on your holiday
i’m figurin’ out where you get to sleepin’
they know where you go your garret box, and
lick your toes and tell you where the moon rose whenever you desire
to, click a beat, is all they really need now
they’ll throw you out technicalities and how
chorus
Tongue Tied, Tongue Tied I’m Tongue Tied all the time
(TT honey, now i’m your TT love)
Tongue Tied, Tongue Tied I’m Tongue Tied all the time
(TT honey, now i’m your TT love)
verse 2
wiggy jig, chucked ya in ya rib now, fiddled all your soul, and
wiggy jig, stick a little pie now
you know that they know you’re on your own now
catch a bush, light it in the middle, cut all yur fringes back
we’re all hooked, climbing up the window
cruising for summer, the frogs attack now
chorus
bridge
sweet as you, always seem to be hard to find
sweeter than a summer’s day and you know you’re always on my mind
sweeter when we get to fly
and you know that I will always be there
sweeter when we get to fly
honey, I’m scared ‘cause I’m needing you only
verse
(ad lib)
