Jacaranda Street

My mother told me as a child
She lived on Jacaranda Street
With sidewalks covered in purple flowers
From the Jacaranda trees
She didn’t live there long
But then she didn’t live long anywhere
Blown around
From town to town
Like a Santa Ana breeze
Always a new world
Always the new girl
Her father was a bootlegger
A charmer in a model T
Played the keys and spoke Chinese
Knew every back road
But half the time he wasn’t there
And left her in her mother’s care
They’d move and live and move again
Or so the legend goes
Always a new world
Always the new girl
Takes a certain kind of soul
To come from nearly nothing
And turn it into something grand
Always looking for a golden door
A place to call a home
Praying for a wanderer’s Holy land
Can anybody really understand?
My mother told me as a child
She left her favorite doll behind
No time to cry
Or say goodbye
Just traveling on again
By the time of caps and gowns
She’d lived in over 30 towns
She’d meet someone
Then it was done
Lost another friend
Always a new world
Always the new girl
CHORUS BRIDGE
My mother told me as a child
She lived on Jacaranda Street
I like to think she found some peace
Under Jacaranda trees

I am the Lavender Lighter
I started out in New York
Lighting a cigarette
For a tip top model
She took me to Miami
Where I lit up the joint
For some teenage guy
First time getting high
I never know what I’ll be getting into
I gotta glow no matter what I do
I can’t control who I’ll be handed to
‘Cause, everybody needs a light
I am the Lavender Lighter
I found myself in Malibu
Starting a barbecue
Ending up in the pool
I dried out and took a red-eye to Tahiti
And touched the torch of a tiki dancer
Got smuggled far away
Made a fire in a Brazilian Bay
CHORUS
Yeah, everyone needs me
Everyone gets me
Everyone uses me
Oh but I don't mind
I'm not blind
Must be the spark inside of me
I am the Lavender Lighter
I started out in New York
Lighting a cigarette
But my light is now fading
CHORUS TWICE
I am the Lavender Light
I am the Lavender Light
I am the Lavender Light
I am the Lavender Lighter
My Love Waits For Me
Lead Vocal: Mark
Mark Lennon, Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon, Pat Lennon, Mark Harris (ASCAP), André Kemp (Buma)/Billy Blaser Music, Kippiko Music, GrampaFrank Music, Woodworker Music, MarkleSparkle Music, M A R S Label USA Music Publishing (ASCAP)
Look at him Look at her
Yeah, they’re just like me
Lookit here, lookit there
This will always be
And it’s always been
Why does anybody care?
Before this, before that
Before all the pride
Thought of this
Thought of that
Even suicide
Yeah, it was only a glimpse
but I tell you it was there
Time was spent
Time was wasted
And full of fears
We’ll have a laugh
Looking back
In a hundred years
Probably what it’s gonna take
‘til we get there
See you there
In the purple bed
Near the yellow chair
In the green room
With a red door
Down the orange hall
Of the blue house
With the white picket fence
My Love Waits For Me
(My Love Waits For Me)
Don’t know who
Don’t know where
Don’t know when and how
When I find who I find
If the Fates allow
Brick by brick
Breath by breath
If it’s real
If it’s true
If it’s meant to be
Plant a seed
It’ll grow
Yeah fruitfully
You never know
Maybe until death do us part
2 x CHORUS
My Love Waits For Me (My Love Waits For Me)
My Love Waits For Me (My Love Waits For Me
Stepping On That Bridge
Lead Vocal: Kipp
Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon, Mark Lennon (ASCAP), André Kemp (Buma)/Kippiko Music, GrampaFrank Music, Billy Blaser Music, MARS Label USA Music Publishing (ASCAP)
I don’t do well with change
I don’t do well without change as well
I’m on the branch
I’m on the limb
Time for me to sink or swim
I don’t do well with her
I don’t do well without her as well
I’m on the lam
I’m on the brink
It’s time for me to swim or sink
time for me to swim or sink
Oh though it goes against my nature
Whoa gotta take a leap of faith
Oh though I don’t where it leads me
I’m Stepping On That Bridge anyway
I don’t do well with money
I don’t do well without money as well
I’m on the road
I’m on the fly
Time for me to do or die
I don’t fare well with farewell
I don’t fare well without farewell as well
I’m on the mend
I’m stepping through
Time for me to die or do
Time for me to die or do
CHORUS
Don’t have to go home but I can’t stay here
Don’t know where it goes whoa whoa
Don’t have to go home but I can’t stay here
I’m Stepping On That Bridge anyway
I’m Stepping On That Bridge
I’m Stepping On That Bridge
27th Avenue
Lead Vocal: Kipp

Some kind of poetry in motion
Finds me here beside the ocean
In a room with a view
I put my feet upon the sand
Begin again where I began
Yeah, that’s just what I will do
Back on 27th Avenue
Too sins are left unspoken
Too many hearts that I have broken
Yeah including my heart too
Oh Holy water wash me clean
Of all I’ve done and all I’ve seen
I could use a blessing or two
Back on 27th Avenue
Where I learned to fly
And I learned to cry
Painted watercolor blue
Where I need to be
To remember me
The oldest place to start anew
Back on 27th Avenue
Some kind of cosmic intervention
Finds me here with the intention
Of finding out just who is who
So many wishes I made here
Between the jetty and the pier
Yeah, and some of them came true
On 27th Avenue
CHORUS
A divine reincarnation
A rendezvous to be renewed
A destiny destination
From my room with a deja view
Back on 27th Avenue
I’m back on 27th Avenue
Where I made some noise
Where I raised my boys
I wonder what has begun
In 90291
Where I learned to play
Where I’ll learn to pray
Oh, just like a time machine
All because of a queen
Hour after hour
Just left of the lifeguard tower
Where I gave a ring
Where Marky asked me to sing
I’m gonna think it through
Where the blue angels flew
I’m gonna make amends
I’m gonna make some friends
I’m gonna mend my wounds
I’m gonna write some tunes
Back on 27th Avenue
Back on 27th Avenue
Back on 27th Avenue
Back on 27th Avenue
Something Took You Over

Mark Lennon, Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon, Pat Lennon, Mark Harris (ASCAP), André Kemp (Buma)/ Billy Blaser Music, Kippiko Music, GrampaFrank Music, Woodworker Music, MarkleSparkle Music, M A R S Label USA Music Publishing (ASCAP)
I saw it coming long ago
When you were burning bright
Thought there was just no way
To burn that way forever
But day to week & month to year
From gold to black & blue
I have been there for you
Until I told you never again
Secrets & lies
Were all you would sing
Where did you go
You beautiful thing?
Something Took You Over
And far away
Your eyes that held the sun
Are stormy gray
I wish I had the magic
To make you stay
But Something Took You Over… and far away
Flying through the desert night
Until the moon would set
But when we’d all retire
You’d soon conspire
And disappear
Alice in her Wonderland
Became the Queen of Heart
And with a Cheshire grin
You’d sneak back in
And reappear again
Secrets & lies
Were all you would sing
Where did you go
You beautiful thing?
CHORUS
Something Took You Over, gradually
Losing all your friends and family
It’s killing me to even have to say
That Something Took You Over...
And far away
I pray that someday you’ll return
With the sun back in your eyes
And if that wish comes true
I promise you
I’ll be there again
CHORUS
Middle Age Lullaby
Lead Vocal: Kipp
Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon, Mark Lennon, Pat Lennon (ASCAP), André Kemp (Buma)/Kippiko Music, GrampaFrank Music, Billy Blaser Music, Woodworker Music M A R S Label USA Music Publishing (ASCAP)
Feels like everyone I know
That’s around my age
Finds themselves in a funny stage
In the middle of the night
They lie awake in their beds
But instead of counting blessings
They’re counting fears and regrets
What I’m trying to say here
To put you at ease
Is that we all
Could sure use some peace
I wish you quiet
I wish you hope
I wish you miles away from everything that scares you so
I know it sounds a bit strange
But I think that it’s time for a Middle Age Lullaby
These are the unkind years
Of losing so many
Of questioning dreams
If we still have any
Too old to be young, much too young to be old
Drifting towards the horizon
So sure and so cold
What I’m trying to tell you
To put you at ease
Is that each and every one of us
Could sure use some peace
CHORUS
Here’s a song for all of us
Who could sure use some peace
CHORUS
I know it sounds a bit strange
But I think that it’s time for a Middle Age Lullaby
How Do We Do This Alone
Lead Vocal: Mark
Mark Lennon, Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon, Pat Lennon, Mark Harris (ASCAP), André Kemp (Buma)/Billy Blaser Music, Kippiko Music, GrampaFrank Music, Woodworker Music, MarkleSparkle Music, M A R S Label USA Music Publishing (ASCAP)
Margaritas by the fire
In our Venice beach attire
Dancing high upon the wire
Roll me over in the sun
Stick a fork in me I’m done
Gee we had a lot of fun
Oh but every dog will have his day
And this one don’t wanna play no more
Yeah and every calm will have a storm
To take away the warm
Tell me
How Do We Do This Alone?
Together is all we’ve ever known
Oh but if I had the chance my friend
I probably would do it all again
Music, movies, restaurants
Roosterfish, our favorite haunts
But the heart it wants just what it wants
Traveling across the sea
People just like you and me
Thought we were rich and so carefree
Oh but every dog will have his day
And this one don’t wanna play no more
Oh and every calm will have a storm
To take away the warm
Tell me
CHORUS
Yeah, lots of parties
Lots of noise
Should have been the Hardy Boys
And solved this crime
But we drank too much
Then drank some more
Opening and slamming doors
In double time
Breaks my heart to come so far
The way we were, the way we are
Aloha, Bon Voyage, Au Revoir
CHORUS
Just Under The Surface
Lead Vocal: Kipp
Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon, Pat Lennon, Mark Harris, Dann Gillen (ASCAP), André Kemp (Buma)/Kippiko Music, GrampaFrank Music, Woodworker Music, MarkleSparkle Music, Gilldog Music, M A R S Label USA Music Publishing (ASCAP)
Just Under The Surface
Isn’t that what they say?
Just Under The Surface
It’s all still in play
Better have your bag of money
When the piper comes for pay
Just Under The Surface
Never far away
Just Under The Surface
Down beneath the ice
There’s something swimming in the dark
Down beneath the ice
It thinks it knows just who you are
It’s waiting for the smallest crack
So it can pull you to the floor
Beneath the ice
Never very far
Apologies and forgiveness
The passage of time
Are all next to nothing
At the scene of a crime
Yes, the files are all locked away
But so easy to find
So easy to find
Just Under The Surface
Isn’t that what they say?
The present can desert us
When the past comes to play
You better have your bag of money
When the piper comes for pay
Just Under The Surface
Never far away
Never far away
Just Under The Surface
What If We Found We
Lead Vocal: Mark
Mark Lennon, Michael Lennon (ASCAP), André Kemp (Buma)/Billy Blaser Music, GrampaFrank Music, M A R S Label USA Music Publishing (ASCAP)
Saw your photos and I knew right away
You got something about you
You liked my profile and what I had to say
So excited to meet you
You laughed at what I wrote
No enemies and kissed good Yeah
We went for a drive
Down the streets of the old hood Yeah
I remembered all the places you’d been
Blew your mind with nostalgia
Hit it off just like an old pair of friends
Super stoked that I found ya’
Or did you find me?
It’s kind of hard to know Yeah
What If We Found We?
This may be something that could grow Yeah
Oooo, and it feels so good
What If We Found We?
What If We Found We?
What If We Found We?
If I give my heart
What If We Found We?
If I give my heart
What If We Found We?
If I give my heart
What If We Found We?
Lifeline
Lead Vocal: Kipp
Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon, Mark Lennon (ASCAP), André Kemp (Buma)/Kippiko Music, GrampaFrank Music, Billy Blaser Music, M A R S Label USA Music Publishing (ASCAP)
Today I realized just how far I’ve come
from the darkest days
When I thought that I would drown
My heart was tight and torn
But you kept telling me to breathe
And breathe again
Even when I thought my heart would never mend
Lifeline
Touchstone
I knew I was never alone
With all my scars and all my faults
You loved me just the same
Lifeline
Touchstone
I would have been lost on my own
Every time I reach for you
In the dark you shine
You are my Lifeline
and when I lament
all that I have lost from the glory days
I carry the weight of all that’s gone
So impossible and true
but you keep telling me
so much is yet to be
there will be glory days ahead, just wait and see
REPEAT CHORUS 2X

You were wishing on a star
As I watched you from afar
We were strangers in a strange uncharted land
You were taken by surprise
I was taken by your eyes
We were feeling things we didn’t understand
You are like nobody else
I am only like myself
We can make it cosmic if we try
You don’t need to be afraid
Got no reservations made
We can just take off and
Fly the friendly skies
Object Unidentified
Just relax enjoy the ride
You can call it what you want
It’s an interstellar jaunt
We don’t have to give this trip a name right now
We can rocket it here or there
We can rocket anywhere
Making love across time and space somehow
You are like nobody else
I am only like myself
We can make it cosmic if we try
As I gravitate to you
In a galaxy of blue
Now we know that it’s
The only way to fly
Object Unidentified
Just relax enjoy the ride
Zooming high and zooming fast
We just want to have a blast
On a purple stardust rollercoaster
Just relax enjoy the ride
Object Unidentified
Just relax enjoy the ride
Object Unidentified
Just relax enjoy the ride

Song to a Seagull
Isle of Islay
Moonfire and Brandywine
Float the canals
In a rowboat of grey
8 track and paisley vine
Hope in the going
In the quiet there is knowing
In the rhythm of the rowing
Boy as a father
With arms of a man
Showing us how to keep on
Rowing
Sisters Of Mercy in
Saturday Clothes
Smuggler and Tinderbox
Leather-bound trilogy
A garden that grows
Open the saltwater locks
Hope in the going
In the quiet there is knowing
In the rhythm of the rowing
Boy as a father
With arms of a man
Showing us how to keep on
Rowing Keep Rowing
Rowing Keep Rowing
Rowing Keep Rowing
Om Pahi Om Pahi Om Pahi Om…
Rowing Keep Rowing
Rowing Keep Rowing
