Lyrics for "Gotta Be A Big Man Maxi-Single "
"Gotta Be A Big Man"
Lyrics by Mark Lennon
VERSE 1:
As I take a glimpse into the past
It seems that all I ever did
Was through the eyes of a kid
And for the longest time
It seemed that everything of mine I had to share
It wasn't fair
REFRAIN:
You gotta' take a stand boy
Gotta' step up to the plate
Gotta make a big impression
And i hope it's not too late
Gotta' do what you can boy
Yeah it's time to take the reigns
I'm gonna' take this bull right by the horns
Before I go insane
CHORUS:
Gotta' Be A Big Man boy
I'm not afraid of the dark
I got all my bases loaded
Gonna hit one out of the park
We can't hold your hand boy
I gotta' make this dream come true
Well I'm jumping into the driver's seat
To thyne own self be true
VERSE 2:
All the kings and horses and their men
Couldn't drag me back again
To where I've been
Cuz' now I know the secrets and
The truth that they all hold will now unfold
Right in my hands
REFRAIN:
DOUBLE CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
Can you hear the tick, tick, ticking of the hands of time
Oh so loud and clear
Listen to the beat, beat, beat of your heart and soul and mind
I hope that I can stand the test of time
(CHORUS OUT)
"Don’t Say Maybe"
Lyrics by Mark Lennon
VERSE 1:
I heard your message on my telephone
Sayin I’ve been on your mind
Just how much you’d like to see me
But you really haven’t got the time
If you felt the same way I am feeling for you now
You would see the light and make the time for me somehow
VERSE 2:
Now everybody wants to have someone
As far as i can see
Everybody loves to take a ride but nobody rides for free
With each passing day you know you’re closer to my heart
All the time together, well it’s better than apart
CHORUS:
Don’t Say Maybe, are you my baby
Or are you just a friend
Don’t Say Maybe, reply hazy
Better try again
Don’t Say Maybe, don’t be lazy
Just say yes or no
Don’t Say Maybe, drives me crazy
I just got to know
VERSE 3:
A thousand times I told myself I’d never be this boy
Sittin round waitin on someone else like a sad forgotten toy
Something about you has found a way inside of me
It’s turning all my insides in to something I don’t wanna be
CHORUS
Don’t Say Maybe, Don’t Say Maybe, Don’t Say Maybe oh
I got to know
Are you my baby, are you my baby, are you by baby oh
All these days and nights together, we go hand in hand
No sooner had you kissed me then you’re talkin with another man
CHORUS
"Cricket"
Mark Lennon
VERSE 1:
Unpacking my suitcase from camping one night
When all of a sudden I jumped with a fright
Cause out climbed a Cricket who’d needed a ride
So I picked him up gently and took him outside
VERSE 2:
He played in my garden
And slept neath a stone
And sometimes he’d sound just like my mobile phone
A world to himself, yeah, a king on a throne
And that’s when I realized he was alone
And with the magic of the setting sun
The stars come out because the night’s begun
A tiny orchestra when day is done
A lonely Cricket where there once was none
VERSE 3:
I knew then and there that he needed a friend
So I walked to my pet shop, it’s just round the bend
And 100 Crickets they did recommend
Now I got a chorus, you should hear the blend
VERSE 4:
Well the years they have passed and the band they play on
But in every winter, they’re suddenly gone
Asleep in the earth yes but it won’t be long
Cause the first day of spring is the first day of song
CHORUS:
And with the magic of the setting sun
The stars come out because the night’s begun
A tiny orchestra when day is done
A 100 Crickets where there once was one
CHORUS:
And with the magic of the setting sun
The stars come out because the night’s begun
A tiny orchestra when day is done
A million Crickets where there once was one
“You Know ME Dude”
Mark Lennon
Take a look around, what do you see
My Family of friends, my Family tree
And all the ones we’ve lost are standing by
To celebrate the story of my life
I did the work, but lived to play the game
I share my father’s business and his name
So if you’ve got a problem, I’ve got time
“Just bring it in” and I’ll make sure it shines
Chorus
‘Cuz You Know ME Dude, You Know ME Dude
I tell you everything is going to be alright
‘Cuz You Know ME Dude, yeah You Know ME Dude
and I wish you “Pura Vida Mae”
Done with work and kiss the girls hello
My bags are packed and I’m all set to go
By land or sea or lake, I do not care
As long as I see everybody there
My life has been a blessing since a boy
You’ve been in my garage and seen my toys
I hope I made a thousand people smile
Looking deep into their eyes…you know my style
Chorus
Driving through the jungle in the rain
Here comes the sun, here comes the fun
Here is where my friends will come again and again
Just look for me here, the other white butterfly
I have no fear of flying, don’t you know
So one more time around the track I’ll go
“Live Like No Tomorrow” was my pledge
And some may say I lived it on the edge
Chorus
