ANTHONY GREEN – Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

ANTHONY GREEN – When I’m On Pills

Just when I thought maybe I’ve done something right,
She goes and falls apart.
All the low moments make life seem unbearable at times
It’s the highs that keep us alive

I love you, ooo
Oh I love you…
When I’m on pills, when I’m on pills.
I love you, I love you
When I’m on pills.

There are days we go from love to war to fast, you know…
And I know it’s not your fault.
There’s an ancient curse inside my blood that tricks my brain to say this
It tells me I’m the biggest fraud

I love you,
I try to…
When I’m on pills, when I’m on pills
I love you, I love you,
When I’m on pills

How much is enough of it?
How much is too much of it?
Oh, I don’t wanna end up dead.
How much is too much of it?

I love you, I’ll die trying to…
When I’m on pills, when I’m on pills,
When I’m on pills, when I’m on pills.
I love you.
I love you.
When I’m on pills, when I’m on pills
I love you. I love you, when I’m on pills

When I’m on pills.

ANTHONY GREEN – Unravel

while you are away
my heart comes undone
slowly unravels
in a ball of yarn
the devil collects it
with a grin
our love
in a ball of yarn

he’ll never return it

so when you come back
we’ll have to make new love

ANTHONY GREEN – The More You Get, The Less You Are

There’s a bridge over the other side of town
That I’d cross over if I need to see my friends
But you burnt it down

So I never saw any one of them again
And in their place I filled with things that I know I
I could hold on to

I was only just a child, I didn’t know
What to do with what I had, so I
So I threw it away

I know that
The more you get
The more
The more you get
The less you are

I know
The more you get
The more
The older you get
The less you are

There are fifteen different sides for me, she said
There isn’t anything you learn from being angry
So don’t

I knew a couple people in the program
I knew a couple people who stayed in
They’ll never leave

There is anything I know you can be sure of
Said everything, you spent your life forget
Will all just go away, someday

You know
The more you get
The more
The more you get
The less you are

I’m guessing that
The more you get
The more
The more you get
The less, the less
The less you are

ANTHONY GREEN – Take A Giant Step

Though you’ve played at love and lost,
And sorrow’s turned your heart to frost,
I will melt your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled?
It’s time you felt like you did then.
There’s just no percentage in remembering the past,
It’s time you learned to live again at last.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind,
And take a giant step outside your mind.
You stare at me in disbelief,
And say for you there’s no relief,
But I swear I’ll prove you wrong.
Don’t sit in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom,
That’s not where you belong.
Come with me, I’ll take you where
the taste of life is green,
Each and every day holds wonders to be seen.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind,
And take a giant step outside your mind.

Come with me, I’ll take you where
the taste of life is green,
Each and every day holds wonders to be seen.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind,
And take a giant step outside your mind.

ANTHONY GREEN – Soul 4 My Soul

I know I’ve been untrue
And it’s been affecting the both of us
How can I eliminate your doubt?
Why should you trust me?
Trust me now

Please believe I am through deceiving
I don’t wanna feel that shame again, no
Trust when I say, I will always love you

Soul for my soul
Soul, soul for my soul

I know that it’s not too smooth
I know it’s not the smartest thing I should say
But I can’t imagine a day without you
I can’t imagine a day without you in it

Please believe, I am through deceiving
I don’t wanna feel that shame again, no
Trust when I say, I will always love you
Please believe, say you’ll never leave me

Soul for my soul
Soul, soul for my soul
For my
Soul, soul for my soul
Soul, soul for my soul
For my
Soul, soul for my soul
Soul, soul for my soul
For my
Soul, soul for my soul
Soul, soul for my soul
For my
Soul, soul for my soul
Soul for my soul
For my soul
For my soul
Soul for my soul…

ANTHONY GREEN feat. Chino Moreno of Deftones – Right Outside

What did you ever see in me?
You know that diamond ring will set you free.
While you are waiting for that dream..

I’ll be waitin’ in the morning when you’re coming to your senses.
Don’t keep tellin’ me you didn’t mean it just to make me stay.
How did you get so far away?
How did you get so far?

What did you ever do for me?
You thought those eerie eyes would break you free.
Are you still waiting for that dream?

I’ll be waitin’ in the morning when you’re coming to your senses.
Don’t keep tellin’ me you didn’t mean it just to make me stay.
How did you get so far away?
How did you get so far?

Something in our dreams to keep the stars away..
Something in the stars control our fate..

I’ll be waitin’ in the morning when you’re coming to your senses.
Don’t keep tellin’ me you didn’t mean it just to make me stay.
How did you get so far away?
How did you get so far?

I’ll be waitin’ in the morning when you’re coming to your senses.
Don’t keep tellin’ me you didn’t mean it just to make me stay.
How did you get so far away?
How did you get so far?

ANTHONY GREEN – My Drug Buddy

She’s coming over,
We’ll go out walking,
Make a call on the way.

She’s in the phone booth now,
I’m looking in.
There comes a smile on her face.

There’s still some of the same stuff we got yesterday.
There’s still some of the same stuff we got yesterday,
Yeah.

I’m too much with myself,
I wanna be someone else.
I’m too much with myself,
I wanna be someone else.
I’m too much with myself,
I wanna be someone else.

So we take off out Fiona’s door,
Walk until it’s light outside,
Like before when we were on the phone.

We have to laugh to look at each other.
We have to laugh ’cause we’re not alone.

As the cars fly up King Street
It’s enough to startle us,
It’s enough to startle us

I love my drug buddy.
My drug, my drug buddy.
I love my drug buddy.
My drug, my drug buddy.

ANTHONY GREEN feat. Nate Ruess – Only Love

Please keep your distance from me I know its hard to believe
I never wanted to be your only love.
I know the sting of plight hurts, it only makes matters worse
I never said I would be your only love,

Old ships, battle skies, silhouettes of skeletons
news on once the clouds are gone,
these are things that I ignite.
Old news heaven sent if heaven wasn’t what it is
if all the stars fell from the storm
then this is what I’ve become.

I need a new relief
dressed as a new belief and then
I can try to be anything or anyone other than who I was
we never hear the dawn, it wake your roommate up
so all between the sheets wishing for anyone other than us.

Please keep your distance from me I know its hard to believe
I never wanted to be your only love.
I know the sting of plight hurts, it only makes matters worse
I never said I would be your only love.

Long locks, fuzzy dice, summer in the dead of night
some would say I had to go,
and these were things we never was.
Long cries no response, silhouettes from all my bones
still we get our heads on wrong,
cause these are things we never was.

I need a new relief
disguised as new belief and then
I can try to be anything or anyone other than who I was
and I will let you sing between your mothers sheets
and I will slip through the crack of the records that stack your bedroom wall.

Oooooh

Please keep your distance from me I know its hard to believe
I never wanted to be your only love
I know the sting of plight hurts, it only makes matters worse
I never said I would be your only love
(We need no proper ending that would mean this meant something)

We need no proper ending that would mean this meant something

ANTHONY GREEN – Lullaby

Just rest your eyes, if they’re getting heavy.
Rest your head on my pillow.
If you want, I can keep singing softly.
Or you can try counting sheep.

Beautiful things, beautiful things, beautiful things are coming.
Beautiful things, beautiful things, beautiful things are coming to you.

Just picture the sun and it’s heat.
Resting upon your fingertips.
As it moves across, the rest of your body.
Relax and keep your mind at ease

Beautiful things, beautiful things, beautiful things are coming.
Beautiful things, beautiful things, beautiful things are coming to you.

ANTHONY GREEN – Love You No Matter What

Marley or James
Michael or Jade
Whatever your name
Elaborate or plain

Even if spikes grow from out of your head
And you’re shooting vomit fire all on the bed
And you grow up to hate me; completely insane
Then we will be the same

I’ll love you no matter what [x3]

If you’re fat or you’re small,
Really short or so tall,
Weirdest of all.

Even if I’m shocked everytime we embrace,
And you’re shitting spiders all over the place.
You don’t wanna love me; You don’t want my love.
Know I’ll never give up

I love you no matter what

I’ll love you no matter what [x3]

ANTHONY GREEN feat. Lights – Just To Feel Alive

You came along so easily
Laughing the whole way you go
It such a mess
Wanted more than anything
Give you a piece of himself
There’s nothing left

I don’t know what it is about you
I need to be around
Just to feel alive
Just to feel alive
If you’d have me I’ll be grateful
Just a taste barely a mouthful
Just to feel alive
Just to feel alive

You came about so effortless
Timing I couldn’t dismiss
So save my life
In every tune and poems too
There’s no denying with you
You rule my mind

Oh I don’t know what it is about you
I need to be around
Just to feel alive
If you’d have me I’d be grateful
Just a taste barely a mouthful

I never wanted anything more
A never wanted thing
Just to feel alive
Just to feel alive
Oh.

I don’t know what it is about you
I need to be around
Just to feel alive
Just to feel alive
If you’d have me I’d be grateful
Just a taste barely a mouthful
Just to feel alive
Just to feel alive
I don’t know what it is about you
I need to be around
Just to feel alive
Just to feel alive
If you’d have me I’d be grateful…

ANTHONY GREEN – James’ Song

He laughs at everything
Unknowing the joy that he brings
There is this light in his eyes
So bright no one can deny

He’ll have his time to change
The whole world is spinning around James
He loves his mama so
Even if she doesn’t know
How he got so perf-er-ect
Our love is the best architect
But things they don’t stay the same
The whole world is spinning around James

ANTHONY GREEN – I Know There’s An Answer

I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones

Now what can you tell them
And what can you say that won’t make them defensive

I know there’s an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

They come on like they’re peaceful
But inside they’re so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night

Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better

I know there’s an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better

I know there’s an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

ANTHONY GREEN – If I Don’t Sing

I been having trouble making some decisions about the smallest changes in my life
But I haven’t got the slightest bit of intuition helping me to figure out what’s right

And I’ll always be unhappy one way or the other
I’ll always be unhappy if I don’t sing

I been realizing something big has changed
Something that will go on home my way
And all I’ve got to do is run round in the rain
Gather up perspective from that hail

And I’ll always be unhappy one way or the other
I’ll always be unhappy if I don’t sing
And I’ll always be unhappy one way or the other
I’ll always be unhappy if I don’t sing
I will always be unhappy one way or the other
I’ll always be unhappy if I don’t sing
I will always be unhappy one way or the other
I’ll always be unhappy if I don’t sing

ANTHONY GREEN – How It Goes

It seems so weird to me
Why it’s all those strangers
Will just bare their soul to see
If we have the answers
Don’t ask us our opinions are insane
Nothing matters in our lives but love

And it seems so weird to me
How all these strangers
Will just gather round to see
If we can conjure answers
Never ask us our opinions are insane
Nothing matters in our lives but love
Never ask us our suspicions are the same
Ever wonder how it goes down
Ever wonder how it goes down
Ever wonder how it’s gonna go down
Ever wonder how it’s gonna go down
Ever wonder how it goes down

ANTHONY GREEN – Get Yours While You Can

Let my motor run
All night long
Let those candles burn
‘Til the break of dawn
Stare into the sun
When the morning comes

I’ve been held up close
And I can feel
That it’s bright up there
When your high
But then I’m dragged right back down to the ground
And then I stayed down here
For my whole life

Get yours while you can
You gotta get yours while you can
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Get yours while you can
You gotta get yours while you can
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Please don’t bother to get up close
Because it turns me off
If everybody comes at the same time
Then we’ll drown in fluid
If I lost my place in life
I’d find something else

Now that older I no longer steal
But I think about it all the time
But then I dragged right back down to the ground
And then I stayed down here
For my whole life

Get yours while you can
You gotta get yours while you can
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Get yours while you can
You gotta get yours while you can
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Sleep little lass
Cause you know there’s so much to be done
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Get yours while you can
You gotta get yours while you can
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

ANTHONY GREEN – Do It Right

Better get your life together, better do it right
You gotta make sure everybody you love in your whole life knows it
Make sure they know it, if you love them make sure that they know it.

Get your life together, better do it right
You better make sure everybody in your life that you love knows it
Better get your life together, better do it right
Make sure that everyone that you love in your life knows it
Better get your life together, better do it right
You gotta make sure everybody you love in your life’s important
Better get your life together, better do it right
Better make sure you make time for everything you love.
Better get your life together, better do it right
Better make sure everybody you love in your life knows it

Make sure they know it, make sure they know it
Make sure you tell them, make sure they know
Make sure they know it
Make sure you tell them, take time to tell them

You better get your mind together, you better do it right
Better make sure everybody in your life you love
Better get your life together, better do it right
Better make sure everyone you love in your life knows it
Better get your life together, better do it right
Better make sure everybody you love in your life knows it
Better get your life together, better do it right
Better make sure everyone you love in your life knows it.

ANTHONY GREEN – Coney Island

I found a letter in the mailbox today,
It said thank you for your thoughts but I’m done,
You said that I would never build this up right here,
And I said that’s why I can’t work with you son,
Well I can’t let this go,
I’m on my way,
But you can only hold my diamond ring,
I keep crawling back to the woman I love,
She’s already taken everything.

I’m going to Coney Island have myself a dog,
Reminisce why I still hate it here,
It’s all these people with their cotton candy eyes,
It’s so sweet now put your train in gear,
I can’t let this go,
I’m on my way,
But you can only hold my diamond ring,
I keep crawling back to the woman I love,
She’s already taken everything.

The ground is swallowing my options for release,
And if it rains we might just disappear,
I counted oh so many friends up there today,
I’m thinking that’s why I still love it here,
I’m thinking that’s why I still love it here,
Well I can’t let this go,
I’m on my way,
But you can only hold my diamond ring,
I keep crawling back to the city I love,
Cause it’s already taken everything,
Well I can’t let this go,
I’m on my way,
Cause you can only hold my diamond ring,
I keep crawling back to the woman I love,
She’s already taken everything.

ANTHONY GREEN – Can’t Have It All At Once

I’m gonna put my palate down
And rip the skin right off my mouth
There seems to be a problem with the main connection
Someone’s torn the wires out

Stuck in a place where all the teachers can’t be trusted
Everything revolves around their appetite

Decisions become more abnormal
The more attention it gets paid
I’m the number one supporter of the first edition
With all the original errors made

Something started happening to the people I love
None of them have spoken to me since
The way they used to back when I was just a little boy
It’s different

My pulse it is gone
Rapidly beating the window
With my hands
It takes time
Why can’t I get anyone’s attention out there
It takes time

I get too caught up
With counting all the things I can’t do right
I’m just around the corner from the crucifixion
Just around the corner from the crucifixion

Something started happening to the people I love
None of them have been close to me since
The way they used to back when I was just a little boy
Deliberate

My pulse it is gone
Rapidly beating the window
With my hands
Why can’t I get anyone’s attention
(It takes time)
Out there
(It takes time)
We can’t prepare for war
And prevent it at the same time
(It takes time)
Though I’ve chosen the sign
I don’t know where the line is
Cause it takes time
Can’t have it all at once
It takes time
