, MUSIC IN THE BOX
© Linda Lamon
Verse 1 (a)
I want to find the music in the box,
Please show me how and where to look,
Is the answer so very far away
Stay on the inside, never mind the outside,
The man of your dreams will come along and find you,
And show you the way.
Middle
That's what they told me - that's what they sold me,
A young girl’s only reason for life.
Verse (b)
Why all this writing, there's
something wrong,
Never forget girl where you belong,
Your head is high in the clouds,
Starting work at nine instead of eight,
Don't you think girl that that is great,
Be grateful for what you've got.
Middle
That's what they told me - that's what they sold me,
A young girl’s only reason for life.
Chorus
Panstick and pink lipstick plastic rollers and Bellair,
Bingo on a Sunday when the artist wasn't there,
Sitting on the back seat of the 17x,
Smoking and hoping that my turn would be next.
I want to find the music in the box
I want to find the music in the box
I want to find the music – I want to find the music in the box

LOOK TO THE UNIVERSE
Melody from The Anonymous Romance’
Words by Linda Lamon
Verse 1
WHEN THE EARTH SLEEPS AND THE MOON FILLS THE SKY
THE COSMOS WE SEE AND WE KEEP ASKING WHY
WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO HOW WE GOT HERE
BUT WE MUST KEEP SEARCHING FOR WE ARE SO NEAR
Chorus
LOOK TO THE UNIVERSE, WE’RE MADE OF STARS
LET YOUR MIND SEEK ALL THAT WE ARE
THINK WHY OUR GALAXIES NEVER CEASE
ENQUIRE A LOT AND PERSIST
Repeat chorus.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU
© Linda Lamon
Verse 1
As I walked into the gardens,
There were bags that replaced homes
Bundled on the benches,
They were all the people owned.
People like you, people like me
People like you. Yeah yeah.
Verse 2
Their eyes lit up the darkness
As friends warmed up their night
With a little understanding
And hope enough to fight
People Like you, people like me
People like you.
Middle/Bridge
There were smiles that hid the sadness
Proud faces looking lost
They are victims of the madness
And my God, they pay the co
People Like you, people like me
People like you!
Verse 3
His pride was perched for falling
As he took another cup
There were no more beds to sleep in
So he picked a blanket up.
V4
Smart strangers stalked the roadside
But the girl could only sob
I would never harm a soul she said
But my own dignity I rob
Chorus
People Like You, people like me,
People like you,
People Like you, people like me,
People like you…

ONLY AN HOUR
© Linda Lamon
You said that you would call me
But when I heard your voice
You gently helped me see
I really had no choice
Only an hour to share with you
Only an hour to care
To hold you and feel new
To know the love is there.
I hope that maybe the evening
Would belong to just us two
Now you're really showing
How much I mean to you.
Only an hour to kiss your lips
Six- quant minutes of your time
To hang onto that caress
In those moments you are mine.

DON’T PUT IT ON ME
Lyrics © Linda Lamon 2021
So, you want to be a star,
As you strum on your guitar,
No matter what you think you are,
Don’t put it on me!
I guess I know what you are playin’,
And I hear what you are sayin’,
But I keep on prayin’,
Don’t put it on me!
Chorus 1
‘Cos all I want is my baby by my side
But all you do is make me cry, cry cry
Why, why, why, why.
So, you think you are J.D Crow
Pluckin’ strings on your banjo,
But there’s one thing I know,
Don’t put it on me!
No matter what you play on
It just makes me want to run
So I’m beggin’ you please hun’,
Don’t put it on me!
Chorus 2
‘Cos all I want is my baby by my side
But all you do is make me cry, cry cry
Why, why, why, why.
Guitar solo
Cos all I want is my baby by my side
But all you do is make me cry, cry cry
Guess I’ll have to be content,
As 2nd fiddle to your instruments,
But whatever you’re intent
Please honey,
Don’t put it on me!!

FREEDOM FOR ME
© Linda Lamon
Verse1
The gentle wind keeps me company
The warm sun sets in the Monday sky
The (Goyt) flows slowly behind me
And a voice whispers 'say goodbye'
My cares ripple with the river
Music mixes with thoughts of the day
Chorus
Freedom for me,
But to for you, not for you
Freedom for me
But not for you, not for you
Verse 2
You say that life is confusing,
To material things you are a slave
Can't you see what you are losing
Forget your riches - you can be saved
Chorus
And its oh - oh so near
Yet so far…… away.

REAL LOVE
© Linda Lamon
Verse
I met friends in high places,
At my journey's end,
Others I had followed,
But my heart they could not mend.
I felt when they listened,
Was held tightly when I cried
And moved by their stories,
I knew we'd been denied
Chorus
Real love to mend and heal
Real pain, that only needs -love.
So don’t give up – be true your soul
And bring real love running -back home
Instrumental
Real love to mend and heal
Real pain, that only needs -love.
So don’t’ give up - be true to your soul,
And bring real love running – back home.
Outro
Follow your dreams – and don’t be alone
Bring real love - home
Real Love

HOLD ON IN LOVE'S NAME
© Linda Lamon
Verse 1
I wonder if you share
This fear of the future
As I feel your pain in me
And can you hear the voices
That tell us your worthless
Why can't they just let it be
Chorus
We've gotta hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on,
Hold on in love's name
Verse 2
As I see you suffering
My heavy heart wants to bring
An end to this crazy misery
But all I can do now
Is hope that the truth shows
And pray for the day you'll be free
Middle
For we now have the plunder
Of the beauty and wonder
Our earth and its creatures hold dear
We’re seeing the destruction
Of the nature we rely on
For species to survive future years.
Chorus
We gotta hold on, hold on,
Hold on, hold on
Hold on in love's name
Outro
We’ve got to save our planet, replant tree’s
Make habitats for birds and bees
Hold on in love’s name

HEARTACHE ZONE
By Linda Lamon
Verse 1
There’s a certain something in his smile,
He says he likes you - can he see you once in a while,
You see no harm – he has charm,
But baby, it gets deeper!
Chorus 1
Easy come, easy go,
Watch out girl, take it nice and slow,
He’s on the phone, you’re on your own
Heartache zone!
The love you share, is only there,
When he escapes his cosy lair,
Can’t give you love, the way he should,
So listen to me, listen to me good!
Verse 2
He’ll say that you’re the one,
Together you’ll have so much fun,
You wanna believe, but he’ll deceive,
And baby, it gets deeper!
Chorus 2
Easy come, easy go,
Watch out girl, take it nice and slow
He’s on the phone, you’re on your own
Heartache zone!
The love you share, is only there,
When he escapes his cosy lair,
Can’t give you love, the way he should,
So listen to me, listen to me good!
Chorus 3
Easy come, easy go,
Watch out girl, take it nice and slow,
He’s on the phone, you’re on your own
Heartache zone!

FAINT HEARTED WOMAN
© Linda Lamon
Verse 1
It’s the middle of the night, and I hear your call
But you’re not acting right, so I can't really fall
For this crazy life, that you say will be fine (Yeah yeah yeah)
But for how long, oh how long, can I call it mine.
And although I am torn, you must know how I feel
In your world that is worn, and not truly real
You spin around, round and round, on your wheel
Chorus 1
I 'm not the faint -hearted woman, you'd like to think that I am,
I am just a broken girl, doing the best that I can,
It’s not easy being sure, and I don't like to pretend,
So hold my hand , one more and be my friend.
Middle 8
I'm feeling ‘kinda sad, and getting sort of low,
‘Cos I want back what we had, but I need to let you know.
Chorus 2
I 'm not the faint -hearted woman, you'd like to think that I am
I am just a broken girl, doing the best that I can
It’s not easy being sure and I don't like to pretend,
So, come on now, hold my hand and be my friend
Hold my hand, one more time and be my friend.
