Counting the days
(Phillip Eugene Tripp)
Verse 1:
I’m counting the days, since you smiled at me.
It’s been so long I can’t remember.
Thinking of you, all of the time.
I doubt I ever even cross your mind.
(Cross your mind)
Verse 2:
There ain’t nobody else I would lie awake for,
The moonlight’s falling on my face.
In the night I realise its true –
I’m stupid enough to keep on
Thinking of you.
Bridge:
All the leaves were green outside.
Then slowly turned brown and fell from height.
I’m thinking back to the day when-
We’d talk and my pulse would be
Increasing.
(Would be increasing)
Chorus:
I’m sitting round a pub table, drinks half empty.
You’re taking some time to melt the ice
Silent conversation is all we ever hold,
But I know there are words you’ve got for me.
Verse 3:
I’m hearing what you’re friends say-
It’s like being in the playground.
Chinese whispers is a game.
I come and say “Hi” just like any other day,
Your cold shoulders in my way.
Verse 4:
I saw you acting today, I’m waiting for this to end –
You’re not fooling anyone.
I know, you think, your mind games are strong,
But your only denying yourself.

Beautiful
(Phillip Eugene Tripp)
Verse 1:
When I wake up in the morning, you're the only dream stuck in my mind.
See the world go by, I look out through my window.
Only one out there, to make it right,
Verse 2:
So glad when I was with you.
I tried to spell it out, did ya see me?
Stood by the bar he made it so clear -
he don't think about you like I do.
Pre Chorus:
You're just like when - I think of San Francisco or a
Sunset Sky, hanging over Waterloo.
A Snow delight, laced through Evergreen,
now I realise in hindsight....
Chorus:
I should have said, "You're Beautiful" (Beautiful)
Maybe instead, of playing a fool.
If I had said, "You're Beautiful"
It wouldn't be wrong, just so right.
Verse 3:
It turned so cold tonight.
I had no idea you'd be led astray.
See you in the rear view mirror for the last time -
Time won't fade how I feel for you
Pre Chorus:
You're just like when, ETC
Chorus:
Middle Eight:
You told me your dreams, so I'm gonna build them up for all to see.
Just like you, I know the future will be....Beautiful.
Instrumental solo:
Chorus:
(& Vocal ad libs)
Outro:
(Whispered) San Francisco, Sunset Sky, Evergreen, You & I

On the level
(Phillip Eugene Tripp)
Verse 1:
I know it to be true.
There’s no truth in your game –
And I’m not foolish to believe.
Anymore in disbelief.
Bridge:
Take one look, then I smile.
When I see you try and win me.
Keep talking your talk –
And Il watch you fade away…..
Into nothing.
Chorus:
Can’t you see I’m on the level?
I see you lower than me,
Stay on your face.
You think you’re above my territory.
You’re Hype (Hype) Hype (Hype)
Don’t believe it.
Verse 2:
Every time you’re around.
You’d better keep hot stepping,
Stay in line.
Time and time again.
Your manipulation sent me down.
Down.
