"Somewhere in the World" (The X Factor Australia winner's single)
Altiyan Childs (2010)
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

Written by Altiyan Childs
Performed by Masonia / Blind Verdict

I'm packin' up
Headin' out to Monte Carlo
I paint my car and speed yellow
I'm drivin' fast but drivin' too slow
I'm movin' on, headin' in a new direction
Don't matter if we make it or not
We'll always know we gave it a shot, oh yeah
Don't let forever pass you by

Yeah, everybody's got a dream
Impossible it might seem
I'm comin' to tell you that I had the time of my life

Telephone, lonely on a broken highway
I call you with the radio on
We're laughin' 'cause they're playin' our song again
I'm packin' up, I'll visit you in California
In my fast car painted yellow
Drop top, foot to the floor
All the way
Don't let forever pass you by

Yeah, everybody's got a dream
Impossible it might seem
I'm comin' to tell you that I had the time of my life
Let's make a new memory
Tomorrow we might not be
I'm comin' to tell you that I had the time of
I had the time of my life

I'm packin' up
Headin' into Monte Carlo
I'm packin' up and headin' your way
1, 2, 3, 4!

Everybody's got a dream
Impossible it might seem
I'm comin' to tell you that I had the time of my life
Let's make a new memory
Tomorrow we might not be
I'm comin' to tell you that I had the time
I had the time of
I had the time of my life

Performed by Masonia
Produced by Masonia and Russell Pilling

Hate is the way that I loved
To eat up the inside of me
Cause for the pride that destroyed me to resurface

You're here when I am beautiful
Would you love me if I was ugly?
I know your heart is beautiful
Colour it purple if you are lonely like me
Slave
Beautiful

In this world, the good guy's bad (good guys bad)
Paradoxical state of sad (state of sad)
I have been hardened to carry the cross
Now that we're all lost

I know your heart is beautiful
Colour it purple if you are lonely like me
Slave
Beautiful

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

High heel rhythm on the concrete
Slow my body down to the pulse of your heartbeat
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

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

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

If you kick up a stink

This place is crazy

There's got to be an exit here
Kick and punch me

"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"
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

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

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, the songs of vanity
Mary
Creator of mine
I'm a clown in your circus
