Lyrics
Sometimes I feel so hungry
Wanting what I have not
Sometimes I feel I don’t need
What I’ve already got
Sometimes I find I’m happy
Sometimes I find I’m sad
Sometimes I find I’m neither
I find that’s not so bad
Two sides to every penny
Sand can [...]
Whenever You Expect the Least
Listen to .mp3 sample of Whenever You Expect the Least.
Sung by Mark S. Meritt.
Lyrics
You follow your heart
But it’s all in your head
You don’t know which part
By which your life should be led
You hope and you dream
Of the things that you need
You try and try but never do you seem
To succeed
Imaginary things you’ve always wanted and [...]

Lyrics
The dance
Is something that most people limit to ballrooms

They wear their tuxedos and gowns
Swing or Charleston, it
Always ends up so bland
What they’re missing is
What they don’t understand
Dance is life [...]

But no matter where I look
I’ve got a textbook case of the blues
I try to play [...]

Lyrics
As you go walking
On down the street
You want to look your best, be so well dressed from head to feet
You feel your outfits
Can’t go without glitz
Search the store
But what you dream of
May not come true
Instead you find a less extravagent but comfortable shoe
It [...]

Lyrics
I’m on the search for man
To keep me from becoming lonely
There is nothing at all wrong with lacking attachment but I
Would like to attach
I haven’t ever once thought
That for each person there’s one only
But as great as I am and as open my mind I’ve [...]
