Love and War by Blue Moon Monsoon Writer: Dan Drew V1: The first time, I didn’t take the bait Second time, I made the same mistake Sit down on the stair now take some time to contemplate Don’t make the same mistake. No…. V2: When I start to see the clouds rolling over me You’re so good at pointing out the flaws that only you can see When you take it out on me, baby please (baby please) If you want for a while we can just agree to disagree. V4: After so many years, why can’t we live without so many tears? Aaaaah! Why wont you just turn at look at me? You’ve got your eyes fixed straight, never moving from the TV screen. Chorus 1: But I don’t mind, if you still feel the love inside And I wouldn’t change a thing ‘Cos you make me feel alive. V5 But I know it’s not because of me But it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt to hear you say those words to me And I don’t handle every single situation perfectly But it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to give me your empathy. Chorus 2: Losing my mind, losing my mind (How’d you make me feel this way?) But I don’t mind, but I don’t mind (oh…) Losing my mind, losing my mind (You make me feel this way) But I feel fine So how am I to blame? Bridge: [What d’you do to me Keep on breaking me Keep mistaking me Someone set me free] x3 [I’m invisible, Unforgivable, Make the same mistakes, A complete disgrace] x 2 [Won’t you look at me You can set me free Won’t you look at me You can set me free] x 1 V6 (Outro): When the storm is over I see your beautiful smile Oh, it helps me forget And makes it all seem worthwhile All is fair in war and love, or so they say.

Robots (Or, The Robots will Outlive Us) by Blue Moon Monsoon Writer: Dan Drew Verse 1: Well the times are a-changing, and they’re changing fast. Seems like machines are starting to think for us at last. It was just yesterday we did it all by hand. But in this brave new world we can just give commands. Verse 2: We’ve got robots on the assembly line. We’ve got auto-pilots on our roads and in our skies. We’ve got algorithms predicting what we want to buy and see. We got computers that are beating us at our own games. Chorus Well the future looks bright but hold on tight. It’s gonna burn too hot ‘cos they’re biding their time. They’re gonna make a move when we look the other way. And when we finally look back its gonna be too late. Verse 3: The robots will work for us. They’ll do our chores. They’ll clean our streets. And fight our wars. They’ll teach our children. Take care of the sick. The robots will outlive us and won’t give a shit. Verse 4: No they don’t need no sleep. Don’t need clean air. The robots will outlive us, sooner or later. ‘Cos they feed our vanity. Losing our humanity Now that we’re second best, soon we’ll have nothing left. Chorus Well the future looks bright but hold on tight. It’s gonna burn too hot ‘cos they’re biding their time. They’re gonna make a move when we look the other way. And when we finally look back its gonna be too late. SOLO Chorus (x2) Well the future looks bright but hold on tight. It’s gonna burn too hot ‘cos they’re biding their time. They’re gonna make a move when we look the other way. And when we finally look back its gonna be too late. Verse 5 Well it seems the times are changing too fast. But the time for us to change our course has passed. Don’t help to fear what lies ahead. But when will they decide that we’d be better off dead? Proliferate. Manipulate. Dominate. And segregate. Self-replication. Extermination. The robots will outlive us this is out fate.

Alley Cat by Blue Moon Monsoon Writer: Dan Drew Watch out alley cat, looking for the street rat. In the distance, hear the pistons, dreaming of a doormat. No home, all alone, trying to keep your head low Blinded by the headlights and your scared of your reflection, so.. Look out kid, you’re gonna get hit Don’t know when, but you better keep on top of it. You need eyes in the back of your head And always remember what the weatherman said. Why can’t you ever go home? (cant go home) Made your bed, that you sleep in alone (sleep in alone) On the cold hard floor (cold hard floor) But some nights you can’t take no more Your just an alley cat You can’t take more than that You’re just a pussycat. Long nights, no rest, try another address. Downstream, fever dream, never wanna be seen. With your back against the wall, you’re never feeling safe at all. You got nobody to call, and your scared. You’ve got your back up, claws out, lookin’ for a handout. Sneakin’ in the kitchen when they cookin’ up the chicken. You need eyes in the back of your head. And always remember what the weatherman said (what the weatherman said…) What the weatherman said (What the weatherman said) What the weatherman said (What the weatherman said) What the weatherman said (What the weatherman said) What the weatherman said (What the weatherman said) What the weatherman weatherman said What the weatherman weatherman said What the weatherman weatherman said What the weatherman? Bridge: As the winter cold is closing in. You think over and over how different it could have been. Now the nights are so long, it feels like they never end. And all you really want from this world is just a friend. SOLO Ahh.. Ohh.. Watch out alley cat, wanna get your beak wet But when you get down in that game, you won’t be getting out again. Where did you get that stuff, now you just can’t get enough. Better run before you get bit, alley cat watch out for it. Meow….
