Luna Maria

"Luna Maria" (2004) (B-side to "Simple")
Written by Altijan (Altiyan Childs)
Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and The Sonic Factory


Build with me, build with me
We'll use the dirt, we'll use our hands
Shape with me, shape with me
Until we see through sand
Ride for my stella
And let's talk about love in

The bed that I made for you
Let's talk about joy in
The house that I built for you
You'll always be
Luna Maria

Shake the tree, shake it
I'll see what falls from heaven
They hold my strength to break it down down down
While you cry I'll build a thing so profound
I'll call your name into a sound
And let's talk about love in

The bed that I made for you
Let's talk about joy in
The house that I built for you
You'll always be
Luna Maria
Shoot me

Can you get real with me?
You know I want a real woman
Can you get real with me?
You know I want you

My Stella
Come up and rise

Can we talk about love in the bed that I made for you?
Let's talk about joy in the house that I, I built for you
Let's talk about love
Let's talk about joy
No matter what you call it
You'll always be
Luna Maria
Luna Maria
Come up and rise
Luna Maria

I've never seen you lookin' so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind

Lady in red
She's dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
Baby

I've never seen you lookin' so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
You were amazing
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love
As I do tonight

Lady in red
She's dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you looked tonight
I'll never forget the way you looked tonight, babe
The way you looked tonight
My lady in red

The Living Years

"The Living Years"

Written by Mike Rutherford and B.A. Robertson
Performed by Altiyan Childs

Originally performed by Mike + the Mechanics on Living Years (1988)
Where lyrics have been altered, Altiyan's version is displayed


Every generation blames the one before
And all of their frustrations come beatin' at your door
I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could've told him in the living years

I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo in my baby's newborn tears
I just wish I could've told him in the living years

(Say it loud) Say it loud
(Say it clear) Oh, say it clear
(You can listen) as well as you hear
(It's too late) It's too late
(When we die) Oh, when we die
(To admit) we don't see eye to eye

So don't yield to the fortunes you sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective on a different date
And if you don't give up, you don't give in
You may just be okay, yeah

(Say it loud) Say it, say it, say it loud
(Say it clear) Oh, say it clear
(You can listen) as well as you hear
(It's too late) 'Cause it's too late, it's too late
(When we die) Oh, when we die
(To admit) we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime

It was summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
We had a band and we tried real hard
But Jimmy quit and Joey got married
I should've known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Oh yeah
Back in summer of '69

Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever
Forever, yeah

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh, the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Back in the summer of '69

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
I went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds until we take to the street
For the kill and the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
I went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow and the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm goin', only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run, a six gun lover, a candle in the wind

I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
But take me now and know the truth
I'm goin' out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood
And I'm no one's son
Call me young gun

You're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well, at least they gave me somethin' I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm a colt in your stable, I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister, catch me if you can

Shot down in a blaze of glory
But take me now, know the truth
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood
And I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun

Each night I go to bed
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
God, I gotta ask a favour and I hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Starin' down the bullet, let me make my final stand

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood
And I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you

You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
And if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apart

I (don't ask me)
I was standing (you know it's true)
You were there, baby (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
No, I (don't ask me)
I was standing (you know it's true)
You were there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (shining through)

Gina works the diner all day
Workin' for her man
She brings home her pay
For love, for love
She says we've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love, we'll give it a shot

Oh, we're halfway there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of runnin' away
She cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby it's okay, it's okay"
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love, we'll give it a shot

Oh, we're halfway there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer

The dark of the alley
The breakin' of day
The head while I'm drivin'
I'm drivin'
Soft lips are open
Knuckles are pale
It feels like you're dyin'
You're dyin'

You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's to transpire

Hot as a fever
Rattlin' bones
I could just taste it
Taste it
If it's not forever
If it's just tonight
We still had the greatest time of my life

You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire

Your sex is on fire
Consumed

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

(Day, day)
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now, you don't need it now
It's beautiful

Hey, hey, hey
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brain

And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey, hey, hey
Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection
We can't deny, I, I...
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you
Like a virgin you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know

Written by Klaus Derendorf, busbee, Andrew Dorff
Performed by Altiyan Childs
Produced by Klaus D


Somewhere in the world tonight, there's no fighting
Somewhere in the world tonight, someone's fallin' in love for the first time
I believe there is a place where fear is finally wavin' goodbye
Somewhere in the world tonight, everything's alright

Somewhere in the world tonight, there's no crying
And somewhere in the world tonight, someone's holdin' their first child
I believe there is a place where the truth can wash out all of the lies
Somewhere in the world tonight, everything's alright

So take me there
Can you take me there?

Somewhere in the world tonight, there's no indifference
Somewhere in the world tonight, everyone has a voice (the sweetest voice)
I believe there is a place where rich and poor can walk side by side
Somewhere in the world tonight, everything's alright

So take me there
Take me there, take me there
Take me there

Somewhere in the world tonight, there's no hiding
And somewhere in the world tonight, someone's leading the way

Take me there
Take me there, take me there
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there, take me there
Take me there

Somewhere in the world tonight, everything's alright

Tip tap toe, here I go again
Elysian fire-waves break
And the twin suns sink behind the lake while I am pushing
Love into you
I don't care what people say
'Cause I know the verdict all the same

Your Honour I confess
I plead madness
On the count of every day
That left me breathless
Hail to the world of cats and dogs
Your Honour I confess
I plead madness

Your moral wall is so tall, that I can't talk at all
About the duplicate desires born into us all
So give me a break, for fuck sake
Drive, we'll get high
In Elysia where fire-waves break
And twin suns sink behind the lake
Where we'll awake until we can buy love
'Cause there's a price to pay either way
Either way

Your Honour I confess
I plead madness
On the count of every day
That left me breathless
Hail to the world of cats and dogs
Your Honour I confess
I plead mad...

Let's play
In our empire of clay
Tell me won't you stay
Hey!

You're Honour, I plead
Plead mad
Plead mad
I tell you that I've gone mad

Hail to the world, Mrs Coy
Hail to the world, philanderous boy
Hail
Cats and dogs

Pimp Girl

"Pimp Girl"
World on Fire (2005)
Written by Altiyan Childs
Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and Russell Pilling


She built her house on a mountain of lies
She tells me 'bout the view and says it's really nice
Chamelia, your skin has come undone
You preach the child while masturbating with a gun

I helped you walk before you ran away from me
I helped you talk before you sang, lalalalee

The day that I saw you smile
I knew that our dead roses died
How I loved you
Pimp girl, the rudest girl I'll ever know
The day that I saw you smile
The way you smiled with me

A new thing come under the sun
I fell for Mary, but slept with Jezebel
You'd better believe it
Cheap wine was never enough
To satisfy insatiable doves, it's tough, yeah

The day that I saw you smile
I knew that our dead roses died
How I loved you
Pimp girl, the rudest girl I'll ever know
The day that I saw you smile

So long, brave heart of mine
I've said goodbye
Now go
And fetch my mind

The day I saw you smile
The day that I saw you smile
The day that I saw you smile
The way you smiled with me
The day that I saw you smile
The way you smiled with me
(The day that I saw you smile)

How I loved you
Pimp girl, the rudest girl I'll ever know
The day that I saw you

Dirt

"Dirt"
World on Fire (2005); Anywhere With You EP (2006)
Written by Altiyan Childs
Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and Russell Pilling


I don't know who to blame
For this dirt on my brain
I don't know who to blame
For this dirt on my face

Kick and punch me
Stereotype me
All in all, you're weaker than me
Kick and punch me
Stereotype me
All in all, you're weak

One generation dieth away
While another cometh to play
And the earth abides forever
One generation dieth away
While another cometh to play
And the earth abides forever

Let me be
I don't want your grief
It doesn't faze me
If you kick up a stink

This place is crazy
There's got to be an in-between
This place is crazy
There's got to be an exit here
Kick and punch me
Stereotype me
All in all, you're...

One generation dieth away
While another cometh to play
And the earth abides forever
One generation dieth away
While another cometh to play
And the earth abides forever

Kick and punch me
Stereotype me
All in all
You're weak

One generation dieth away
And another cometh to play
And the earth abides forever
One generation dieth away
And another cometh to play
And the earth abides forever

One generation dieth away
While another cometh to play
One generation dieth away
While another cometh to play
One generation dieth away (let's play)
While another cometh to play (let's play)
One generation
Forever

Is This The Life

"Is This The Life"
World on Fire (2005)
Written by Altiyan Childs
Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and Russell Pilling


I have observed the world's insanity
And for that you call me insane
I'm truly sorry that my love won't chase the monsters away
To bring us all out of this void

What do we do?
What do we do?
What do we do now?
I don't know what to do

Is this the life you are living?
What is the life you are dreaming of?
Is this the US number one song?
(Hands up, who gives a fuck about that?)
Green is the colour that I'm smoking
Grey is the colour that I'm breathing in
Purple is the colour that I'm hoping for
On a place called Earth

I will not lie to myself anymore
About the nature of mankind
And what of our perspectives
If evil was the original shape of things?

What do we do?
What do we do?
Tell me what do we do now?
I don't know what to do

Is this the life you are living?
What is the life you are dreaming of?
Is this the US number one song?
(Hands up, who gives a fuck about that?)
Green is the colour that I'm smoking
Grey is the colour that I'm breathing in
Purple is the colour that I'm hoping for
On a place called

Green is the colour I'm smoking
(On a place called)
Grey is the colour I'm breathing in
Earth

Green is the colour I'm smoking
Grey is the colour I'm breathing in
Green is the colour I'm smoking
Breathing in

Criminal

"Criminal"
World on Fire (2005)
Written by Altiyan Childs
Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and Russell Pilling


She came underneath the spotlight
She ruled both the day and the night
She was dark, the perfect place for sunlight
Lovers' game, we weave like a quartet
I keep the rhythm while she sings about Antoinette
Now everybody loves you
To me you are a special, ordinary

Criminal
I'm a criminal without you
It's criminal
It's criminal without you

He drives fast underneath the radars (underneath the radars)
He heads east and hoped to crash into a star
It's God's game, he's playin' with his sacred dirt
He called her heaven but found something else up her skirt
Now everybody loves you
You, yes you are
A special ordinary

Criminal
Criminal without you
I was born to love you
I'm a criminal without you
There's nothin' I can do
Criminal
Criminal without you

You move me, it's not what you say
You move me, it's not what you weigh

You move me, it's not what you say
You move me, it's not what you weigh
You move me in every way
Criminal without you
You move me, it's not what you say
You move me, it's not what you weigh
You move me in every way
In every way
I'm a criminal

To Whom It May Concern

"To Whom It May Concern"
World on Fire (2005)
Written by Altiyan Childs
Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and Russell Pilling


These days I find it hard
To capture in words the emotions of life
But with you, it's so damn easy
You move me completely
You fascinate me

If I could, I'd play the alchemist
I'd turn your garden into gold
But all I have is a song for you

Tell me you won't mind if I try
To make you smile, is that alright, yeah
This is your day, your special day
I wish you happiness every way

To whom it may concern
My best friends have all gone away
To whom it may concern
My lover looks the other way
The day I saw the light

If I could play God
Just for one day
I'd make you love me, lady
That would be a beautiful day
The most beautiful day

Tell me you won't mind if I try
To make you smile, is that alright, yeah
This is your day, your special day
I wish you happiness either way

To whom it may concern
My best friends have all gone away
To whom it may concern
My lover looks the other way
The day I saw the light behind the sun

If I could play God
If I could play God
I'd play him for you
I'd play him for you
And I'd play him for you

The day I saw the light
The day I saw the light

To whom it may concern
My best friends
My lover
My best friends
My lover, my lover
The day I saw the light
The day I saw the light behind
Behind, behind the sun

Circus

"Circus"
World on Fire (2005)
Written by Altiyan Childs
Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and Russell Pilling


Run little lady, run
Run little lady, run
You will see
Eventually
Everybody runs
In this perfect world
Where love is a gun

My illuminator, my illuminator
Switch your generator on
In the black and white
The colour's bright
Everybody's gone
Left pick the right
Is the day really night
On this carousel delight
Where everybody runs

Round she'll go
This floating carnival
We're all searching for purpose
Creator of mine
I'm a clown in your circus

C'mon little lady, c'mon little lady
C'mon little lady, come
In melody
Weave through me
Let me be your sun
I cannot bathe in blood
A poet bathes in me
Still they fail
'Cause everybody bleeds

Round she'll go
This floating carnival
We're all searching for purpose
Creator of mine

Here, here
Talkin' about right here
Is my greatest journey
Home
Take me home
Take me home

Round, round she'll go
This floating carnival
Mary, Mary, Mary!
Mary, the songs of vanity
Mary
Creator of mine
I'm a clown in your circus

Breathin' fire, the fuel of love

And I'll play you till level 9
Then please release me from the burnin' of my mind

Simple

"Simple" (2004)
Written by Altijan (Altiyan Childs)
Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and The Sonic Factory


Every morning when I open my eyes
My first heartbeat is for you
And there's somethin' 'bout the way that you move
It's all about you
I hear your name
In the stroke of a bird's wing
I see your face when they sing
Lately I been thinkin' about
Thinkin' about you

I feel for you
I think I love you
So kiss me you fool
I feel for you
Hey

I'm getting so tired
Of watchin' the watchers
Started a riot in my heart
Just like the queen on a checkered board
I hear your name
I hear your name
I hear your name
In the stroke of a bird's wing
I see your face, I'll say
I see your face, I'm crazy
I see your face when they sing

I feel for you
I think I love you
Kiss me you fool
I feel for you

Lately I been thinkin' about
Thinkin' about you
You
Lately I been thinkin' about
Thinkin' about you, you, you

Feel for you
I feel for two
I feel for you
I feel somethin' so very simple for you
Hey!
Feel for you
I think I love you
So kiss me you fool
Let's keep it simple
So, so very simple
So, so very simple
So very simple
