A CHRISTMAS SONG
Music/lyrics by Ray Dulski © 2008

Chorus 1
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas came every day
We would have the time to catch-up, things to say
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas came every day
I could stay in bed, then get up and go out to play

V1
I’ll walk down the street
I’ll greet everyone I meet
I’ll hold out my arm
To show I mean you no harm

Chorus 2
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas came every day
And I don’t mean that feeling when you have to bow down, and pray

V2
We’ll have a party
So bring your Christmas with you
Let’s combine all our worlds
And see if our dreams can all come true

V3
We’ll have a game of soccer
In No Man’s land
It was so long ago
When Christmas was at hand

Chorus 3
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas came every day
I could stay in bed, then get up and go out to play

Instrumental Break

V4
We’ll walk down the street
We’ll greet everyone we meet
We’ll hold out our arm
To show we mean no harm

V5
We’ll have a game of soccer
In No Man’s land
It was so long ago
When Christmas was at hand

Chorus 4
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas came every day
We would have the time to catch-up, things to say
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas came every day
I could stay in bed, then get up and go out to play

ANOTHER DAY (IN PARADISE)
Words & Music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2008

V1
Asked the wise man what the time could be
He said, “Now sonny, can’t you see,
There is no beginning and there is no end,
If you’re running late
Don’t make any plans'
Just Another Day, In Paradise, paradise

V2
Asked my woman what she wanted from me
She said, “Now honey baby, can’t you see
I want your lovin’ and your money as well
Take me to heaven when I’m in hell.”

Just Another Day
In Paradise, I’m so happy, to be
In Paradise

V3
Asked myself what’s in it for me
The answer came so easily
You have to open every door
Close the one you opened before
Just Another Day
In Paradise, Paradise,
I’m so happy, Paradise
I’m Free

(Instrumental)

Just Another Day
In Paradise, I’m so happy, to be
In Paradise

V4
Asked the world what it wanted from me
It said just try to be free
To gaze and wonder, live with the stars
Don’t hide your mind behind prison bars

Just Another Day
In Paradise, I’m so happy, to be
Here In Paradise, just another day

BUBBLE
Music and Lyrics by Ray Dulski
Copyright ©2016

Verse 1
Didn't say a word but I'm in trouble again
Seems like I'm always in trouble again
I'm always on time but I'm in trouble again
Didn't turn around but I'm in trouble again

Yes or no, which way to go?
Wish I knew, to save my soul
I'm nothing but trouble
About to burst, like a bubble

I'm in Trouble, you're in trouble
We're in trouble, like in a bubble

Verse 2
Didn't throw the stone but we're in trouble again
Didn't start the fight but we're in trouble again
Didn't cross the line but we're in trouble again
Didn't tell the truth so we're in trouble again

Live or die, one way to go
If I live, I'll steal the show
We're nothing but trouble
About to burst, like a bubble

Verse 3
Floating deep in space
A marble full of grace
Where it leads us, it will take us
It will know, which way to go
We'll just follow, for the show

Chorus
Come and see, see tomorrow
Bring your dreams and let them grow, so
Come and see tomorrow
Tell your friends, and hope they'll follow

There's no refunds, for what we've done
We got to pay the price as one

We're in trouble, I'm in trouble
You're in trouble, like in a bubble

Verse 4
Never find the time so we're in trouble again
We just point the finger, never us to blame
We live in a bubble, all dreaming of fame
Never stop to talk, we're all to blame

Chorus
Come and see, and feel tomorrow
Bring your love and let it grow, so
Come and see tomorrow
Shout the words, and hope they'll follow

V1
DON’T GO THERE, it’s a bad old place
DON’T GO THERE, you won’t know your face
DON’T GO THERE, it’s not paradise
DON’T GO THERE, what you will find won’t be very nice

V2
DON’T GO THERE, it will make you sad
DON’T GO THERE, it can make you mad
DON’T GO THERE, you won’t know your place
DON’T GO THERE, you won’t belong to the human race

CHORUS
Sky is falling, storms are calling
Into a maze where no one sleeps
Days go by and the nights are a lie
I’ve got to keep sane, it’s
Got to be good for keeps

(Instrumental)

CHORUS
Sky is calling, storms are falling
Into a maze where dreams are asleep

I’ve got to keep sane,it’s
Got to be good for keeps

DON’T YOU THINK I KNOW
Music and Words by Ray Dulski

V1
Well I’ve been waiting so many years
To catch you out with your crocodile tears
I know you’re just, playing a game
You say you’ll change but you’re just the same
C1
Don’t you think I Know?
Don’t you think I Know?
Don’t you think it shows?
Don’t you think I Know?
V2
When I look, into your eyes
It’s so hard to realise
That you’re taking me for a ride
Sometimes I just want to run and hide
C1
Don’t you think I Know?
Don’t you think I Know?
Don’t you think it shows?
Don’t you think I Know?
(GUITAR)
V3
I’ll just follow down your path
If I don’t I’ll feel your wrath
Maybe one day I’ll find a way
But I don’t really want, want that day
C1
Don’t you think I Know?
Don’t you think I Know?
Don’t you think it shows?
Don’t you think I Know?

C2
I’m just a fool who’s fallen in love
Just can’t seem to escape
No matter what I do or say
My mind just can’t - get into shape
(GUITAR)
C2
DON’T YOU THINK, DO YOU THINK, DON’T YOU THINK I KNOW
DO YOU THINK, DON’T YOU THINK, DO YOU THINK THAT I DON’T KNOW
DON’T YOU THINK, DO YOU THINK, DON’T YOU THINK I KNOW
DO YOU THINK, DON’T YOU THINK, DO YOU THINK THAT I DON’T KNOW
(GUITAR)

If I don’t I’ll feel your wrath
Maybe one day I’ll find a way

Don’t you think I Know?
Don’t you think it shows?
Don’t you think I Know?

FEEL SO LAZY
Music and Words by Ray Dulski
Copyright ©2016

V1
Feel so lazy today
I don't care what you say
Feel so lazy today
I got nothing to say
So I might as well stay in bed, and rest my weary head

V2
Feel so lazy today
Here in bed I will lay
Feel so lazy today
Watch the tv all day
Think I might have to stay inside, and read the tv guide

Chorus
Don't want them, don't want those Monday blues
Can't get up, haven't even cleaned my shoes
This life of luxury
Can only come when my time is free
I can only serve one master
And that's the weekends for me

V3
Feel so lazy today
Won't go out to play
Feel so lazy today
Wish it was everyday

END
So I might as well stay in bed, and rest my weary head
Think I might have to stay inside, even if I'm off to wed
Don't think I'll walk today, I'll play a game instead
I can hear all your words, but nothing has been said

FOLDED LETTERS
Words & Music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2013

V1
FOLDED LETTERS, in the doorway, stain the walls with angry words
Empty rooms, down the hallway, sing in tune, to empty chords, it's
Gone, like steps, in the sand, leave no trace, of your face, just emptiness,
Takes your place

V2
Wasted days, on the walls, hide the dreams, of yesterday
Rusty Curtains, hanging closed, hide the words I had to say, it's
True, you know, that our stars, burned too soon, in the fire, of desire,
Much too soon

Chorus
FOLDED LETTERS they sealed my faith
It's too soon and much too late
As the words knock against my door
They spell your name as they just dance on the floor

V3
FOLDED LETTERS, burning slowly, in the dreams, as I sleep
FOLDED LETTERS, on a tray, turn to dust as I weep, it's
True, you know, that our stars, burned too soon, in the fire, of desire,

Much too soon, much too soon, much too soon, for FOLDED LETTERS

HAPPINESS 99th
Music by Ray Dulski
Words by Ray Dulski/Steve Garvin
Copyright © 1969

V1
See my friend, he's breaking his favourite egg
See my girl, she's standing on her head
Building steps to your front door
So I'm calling your name from the 99th floor

V2
Swimming in a bottle of red wine
Trying to get away from that old man time
Picking up ice-cream with a folk
Teaching my mouse, how to talk
So I'm calling your name from the 99th floor

V3
See how Penny Groove runs
Away from the bad captain me
See how my kite swims
Higher than any girls knees
So I'm calling your name from the 99th floor

V4
Making my own factory
Squashing fleas with a tree
Doing nothing at my door
So I'm calling your name from the 99th floor
Calling your name from the 99th floor
Calling your name from the 99th floor

HEAVEN
Music/lyrics by Ray Dulski © 2004

V1
Sunday morning turned on the TV
There was this pastor who I felt was talking to me
he said, "You don’t need an opinion , ‘cause there’s only one kingdom
You gotta be humble, to be as happy as me"

Chorus
Take me to heaven, 'cause I don't care
Take me to hell, if you dare
Take me to heaven, 'cause I'm in hell
What is religion, no one tells

V2
I ain't preachin' to what I'm teachin'
I just ain't praying to them leaches
And they tell me to close my mind
‘Cause they know the truth and I must be blind

Repeat Chorus

V3
What I’m about to say I won’t be forgiven
But can you imagine this world without religion
Maybe then heaven will be on earth
And then an understanding of life’s worth

Repeat Chorus x 4

IS THERE AN ISSUE?
Words & music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2009

V1
It was a winter’s day
When I decided to walk away
It was a summer’s day,
Now I’m back to stay

People seem not to realize
That I have changed, open your eyes
It wasn’t easy, try to understand
To throw away those demons, be a better man

Chorus
Is there an Issue?
Why do you stare?
Is there an Issue?
Do you care?

V3
So I took it upon myself
To tell the folks I’m home
So can you please lend me a helping hand
I can’t do this all alone

Chorus
Is there an Issue?
Why do you stare?
Is there an Issue?
Do you care?

V4
I know it will take time
To free up my mind
And if you stand by me
I know one day I’ll be free

V5
It was a winter’s day
When I decided to walk away
Now it’s a summer’s day
Now I’m back home to stay

Chorus
Is there an Issue?
Do I really care
Is there an Issue?
Do you care?

IT JUST HAPPENS
Music and Lyrics by Ray Dulski
Copyright ©2016

Verse 1
It Just Happened, out of the blue
It Just Happened, when I met you
It Just Happened, I know its love
It Just Happens, like the stars above

I found it so hard, to believe I'll love again
I found it so hard, will it be the same?

And it Just Happens, Out of the blue

Verse 2
It Just Happened, who was to blame
It Just Happened, it's always a shame
It Just Happened, Our love went cold
It Just Happens, when there's no one to hold

I found it so hard, To believe I'll fall in love again
I found it so hard, Is it always the same?

And it Just Happens, Out of the blue

Chorus
I can't believe it, bad luck in love is my name
One day I'll find my true love and she'll stay

And it will happen, out of the blue
It Just Happened, out of the blue
It Just Happens

NEED A LICENSE
Words & Music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2017

Think I need a license if I want to drive, drive my car
Think I need a license if I want to walk, into  a bar
Think I need a license if I want to go, go so far
Do I need a license to tell you who, or what you are

Time to renew

Do I need a license if I want to talk, talk to you
Do I need a license if I want to make, make the sky blue
Do I need a license to make all my dreams, dreams come true
Do I need a license to belong in times, times long queue

Time to renew
Before I expire

How do I feel, when my time is running late
How do you feel, about your life, and your fate
How do we know, how and when, it will expire
Will it fade away, or burn, burn in a ball of fire

Time to renew
Before we expire

I got my name, my date of birth,
My address is on the internet
I'm with the crowd, there are millions of us
There are many, many that I have never met

I've got a number for every card I use
Got a password that I always need to type
I'm with the crowd, there are millions on the loose
I need a license to live in a world of so much hype

Don't  need a license if I want to talk, talk with you
Don't need a license to make, make the sky so blue
Don't need a license to believe it's not all so true
Do I need a license to get a license, to stay with you

Before we expire

Verse 1
Well I’m in trouble, been this way before
I’ve had bad luck since the day I turned four
So throw your web out, I can’t be saved
I know I’m going to go to an early grave

Chorus 1
On A Plate, my life has been served
In this state, silence is heard

Verse 2
Well I got troubles, no luck ever comes my way
Them black cats cross my path every single day

Chorus 2
On A Plate, the bones are laid bare
In this state there’s nothing to share,
On A Plate, my time has been served
On the plate, there’s no dessert

Main Chorus
There’s a tale that my name has been cursed
There’s a race on and I don’t think I’ll ever come first
It’s all trouble and it just seems to get worse, bad luck, on the plate

Verse 3
Well I’m in trouble, but not with the law
Don’t think good luck will ever knock on my door
So throw your web out, I can’t escape
Some tell me it will change but it will be too late

On A Plate, my time has been served
In this state, I can’t be heard,
On A Plate, my life has been served
On the plate, there’s no dessert

OUTSIDE MY HEAD
Words & Music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2017

v1
When I wake up
Will I be in tune?
Will it be a good day
Will the night have its moon

Someone told me it's ov-------er
Someone came from OUTSIDE MY HEAD
Whispered, in my ear, what I didn't
Want to hear

v2
So where do I begin
What story do I tell
We're so far apart
Makes me feel like hell

Someone told me to say it's over
Feels like someone ran over my head
Best, just to walk away, there's no need, need to stay
Nothing to say

CHORUS
OUTSIDE MY HEAD, All is looking good

OUTSIDE MY HEAD, it's all misunderstood

OUTSIDE MY HEAD, it's just a illusion of mine

OUTSIDE MY HEAD, maybe I'm out of my mind
That's what I said
OUTSIDE MY HEAD

v3
So when I wake up
Will I be in tune?
Will it be a new day
Or is it much too soon

Someone told me it's over
Someone came from OUTSIDE MY HEAD
Whispered, in my ear, what I didn't
Want to hear
OUTSIDE MY HEAD
That's what I said
OUTSIDE MY HEAD

Sometimes I feel oh so lonesome
I feel I could break down and cry
And sometimes I feel so lonely
I feel I could lay down and die
And sometimes the nights are so lonely
The stars they just spell out your name

V2
Sometimes I feel oh so lonesome
At times I don’t want to go home
Only the shadows they greet me
So hard knowing that you have gone
Who was right and who was so wrong
Makes no difference when you’re all alone

Chorus
Lonesome, I’m So Lonesome
Lonesome, I could die

V3
Sometimes I feel, oh so lonesome
The days bring no light to my eyes
If only I could find another
But I don’t think this love here would die
So I sit by the window and wait
But I know you won’t come thru’ that gate

Chorus
Lonesome, I’m So Lonesome
Lonesome, I could die
Lonesome, I’m so Lonesome
Lonesome, I could cry

Chorus
Oh What I life I’ve had, A life so Glad, a life I’ve had
Oh What I life I’ve had, the life I’ve shared, a life I’ve had

V1
I remember being so young, life was set, not to be undone
Playing games in parks of green, the sky so blue and the
Air so clean

V2
Then I was in my early teens, with
Pocket money in my jeans
Hanging out with many friends, I thought those
Days could never end

Chorus
Oh What I life I’ve had, A life so Glad, a life I’ve had
Oh What I life I’ve had, the loves I’ve shared, the life I’ve had

V3
And then I entered my later teens, falling in love then out again
Sometimes it was easy and sometimes it was just
Heartache and pain

V4
And then one day I found my love,
Lasting forever like the stars above
And bringing life to the world, it just seemed
To be getting so much better

Chorus
Oh What I life I’ve had, a life so glad, the life I’ve had
Oh What I life I’ve had, the life I’ve shared, the life I’ve had
(Break)
Oh What I life I’ve had, a life so glad, the life I’ve had
Oh What I life I’ve had, sometimes sad, the life I’ve had

V5
Now as the years go rolling by, sometimes it’s time to say goodbye
To some friends and family who I will always remember
To the end

V6
And now I’m at an age, with fond memories
Good times with bad times, throughout the years
So what can I do, let’s make it a day
Life is good and I’m happy to say…

Chorus
Oh What I life I’ve had, A life I’ve had, a life I’ve shared
Oh What I life I’ve had, the love’s I’ve had, the life I’ve had
Oh What I life I’ve had, the friends I’ve had, the life I’ve had
Oh What I life I’ve had, the life I’ve shared, the life I’ve had

Verse 1
There is a mountain that you must climb over my friend
There is an ocean that will pound against your door, my friend

We were young and we had so much to say

And there are sunsets that will come and go my friend

We were so young and always had our way
No one could tell us, no one could fool us, yesterday

Just like dreamers, throw away the cares
Wake up the morning, see the shadows run
Bring on the night we’ll chase the midnight sun

There is a morning that will shine on you forever my friend, my friend
And there’ll be a sunset and you’ll close your eyes to dream
My friend, my friend
It just seemed like it was yesterday
We were so young and always had our way
No one could tell us, no one could fool us, yesterday
No one could tell us, yesterday, no one could fool us, yesterday

THE THIRD SHOW STREET
Words & Music by Ray Dulski

V1
When you walk from the Third Show Street
Faces to you are so lonely
And their shadows are walking so slowly
To emptiness

V2
When you walk from the street of no time
Eyes on you are so empty
And their tears, they give for free
To loneliness

Chorus 1
And as you lie down, you watch the names go by
In a cloud of endless time, where
Dreams are lost, forever

V4
When you walk from the Third Show Street
Time is on your hands
But the time is only for sorrow
For tomorrow

Chorus 2
And as your eyes close, they
See the faces smile
In a cloud of endless time
Where dreams are lost forever

Where dreams are lost forever
Where dreams are lost forever
Where dreams are lost forever

THIS OTHER DAY
Words & Music: Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2016

Intro
Like a falling star, you're like a burning star
Like a falling star, beauty from afar

V1
Broke through the storm that came into my life
Blue skies from angels with stars in their eyes
Is there a question that cannot be answered
I just don't know what I hear
It's something  I didn't realize

V2
Like a Falling star, this other day came my way
It had nothing to do about what I had to say
Is there an answer that has no question
There are many who have no hesitation
To lead us to desperation

Chorus
THIS OTHER DAY, it had a magic sway
THIS OTHER DAY,  had something to say

This  Other Day, came my way
Like a falling star, just burned away

V3
The words that you just said, get lost with the noise
The words you said interfere with my toys
"Is there a time where  there is no time?
Is there a place where there is some time?
Away from the maddening crowd"

Chorus
THIS OTHER DAY (This Other Day) it had a magic sway
THIS OTHER DAY, (This Other Day)  It had something to say
THIS OTHER DAY (This Other Day) it had a magic sway
THIS OTHER DAY (This Other Day) my day of fame

Chorus 2
Where do I belong in these schemes of things
Why don't I believe in the schemes of themes
Magic stories that go,  go nowhere
But I guess they're all waiting for their other day
Maybe be tomorrow, who knows, who cares
Maybe yesterday, who knows, who shares
I was special on THIS OTHER DAY
Like a burning star, never meant to stay

Chorus 3
Look at tomorrow
No need to borrow
Another day for tomorrow
No need to follow
See my friends are falling
It's me that does the calling
Can't  do things in the morning
So I'll wait for the time for this
Other Day, Other Day, Other day

Like a falling star, like a burning star
And Like a falling star, just burned me away

THIS OTHER DAY

TRIAL OF BAGS
Words & Music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2014

V1
Sitting on an outside box, wasting my time with a cup of tea
Looking at my painted shoes, smiling at a cloud that looks like me
Feeling the snow, on my feet
I gave you all my love to eat
TRIAL OF BAGS

V2
Sitting on an outside table, drinking my love with an endless wine
Looking at my dancing shoes, as they glide against the line
Feeling my tears, hanging down
In this sadness, I drown
It feels no good, to hang around
TRIAL OF BAGS

Chorus
The jury was out and the judge was looking at me
On this verdict you must try to set yourself free
So I teach my mouth how to talk
Teach my feet how to walk
Try to make a new man out of me

V3
Sitting in an empty room, I paid my dues for your crime
Sitting on a wooden carpet, while they file away my time
Rainbows fall, into the clouds
I try to run but fall into the crowds
Feels no good to hang around
Better just pack and get out of town
TRIAL OF BAGS, TRIAL OF BAGS, TRIAL OF BAGS

WEEKEND WOMAN BLUES
Words & Music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2013

Verse 1
Woke up this morning and I felt that you weren’t there
Turned around and noticed you left me a strand of your hair
Went to the kitchen and found a note on the door
It said, you’ll be back; I know we’ve done this before

WEEKEND WOMAN, Woman, WEEKEND WOMAN
Forty eight hours to make it right

Verse 2
I’ll keep your dreams running thru’ my head
Work the five day week and I’ll even make the bed

WEEKEND WOMAN, Weekend, WEEKEND WOMAN
Forty eight hours to make it right, can’t wait for Friday night

Chorus
Close the curtains and lock the doors, forty eight hours, let’s make it right
Forget those phones; turn off the TV, who cares if its day or night

(Inst)

WEEKEND WOMAN, Woman, WEEKEND WOMAN

Verse 3
I don’t care what the neighbors may think, the lawn is cut, and the pretty girls wink
But I don’t care, I don’t care at all, it’s you that I want, Friday night I wait for your call

Verse 4
Woke up this morning and I felt that you were there
Turned around slowly and I felt your loving care

WEEKEND WOMAN, Woman, WEEKEND WOMAN
Forty eight hours to make it right, don’t won’t to see Monday morning light

WHY DO I
Words & music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 2009

V1
Why Do I, feel like I’m falling
Why do you, watch me fall
Why Do I, feel like I’m crying
Why do you, watch my tears fall

Chorus 1
I say hi, and you say bye
You’re always running late

V2
Why Do I, feel that I’m losing
Why do you, make it not fair

Chorus 2
Sometimes I feel I just can’t control it
I’m a puppet in your eyes
I can’t seem to realize
That I’m hypnotised

Main Chorus
Some say that I’m just a fool
I say our love is on and all is cool
But I know deep inside
I’m on a lonely ride

V3
Why Do I, feel that I’m dreaming
Why do you, live in my dreams
Why Do I, feel that’s it’s over
Why do you, rewrite the scenes

Chorus 3
I say why, and you say you’re sorry
But I know it’s just a lie
How you look me in the eye
You got me hypnotised
Can’t escape your paradise

WOMAN OF MINE
Words & Music by Ray Dulski
Copyright © 1990

V1
This Woman Of Mine, she does me fine
This Woman Of Mine, she's one of her kind
She moves so fast she hurts my brain
Heaven known I'm not to blame
This Woman Of Mine, drives me out of my mind

Chorus 1
And I believe in magic
Life is so fantastic, with this
Woman Of Mine, she likes to dance the tango

V2
This Woman Of Mine, she moves like the wind
And she treats me so bad, when I get mean

Chorus 2
And I believe in magic
Life would be so tragic, without this
Woman Of Mine, she makes me live in sin

Chorus 3
'Cause I believe in Magic
Life would be so tragic
And I believe in magic
Life is so fantastic, with this
Woman of Mine, She does me fine, I said
This Woman of Mine, she hurts my mind
This Woman Of Mine, she's one of her kind

WONDERLAND
Words & Music by Ray Dulski

(Special Thanks to Peter McDowell for the Chorus Melody Line)

V1
I was born in this Wonderland
Where mateship goes hand in hand
From the valleys to the seas
I grabbed this spirit, I am free

V2
I was born in this Wonderland
Under the stars of the southern land
Follow the echoes of my dreams
Let my memories flow with the streams

V3
I was born in this Wonderland
It's so easy to understand
It's an old man who stays at home
Break the ties and make it alone

V4
I was born in this Wonderland
And like the tides of the shifting sand
Meet new faces along the way
And I'll always have something to say

Chorus
The time is right, the morning's bright
Can't promise if I'll be even home tonight
So close your eyes and I'll set you free
This Wonderland is calling me

V5
I was born in this Wonderland
It's so easy to understand
Under the southern skies I roam
Never to make a corner my home

V6
I was born in this Wonderland
Where mateship goes hand in hand
From the deserts to the sea
I grabbed this spirit, I am free
This Wonderland, this southern land
