Time To Kill 04:14
TIME TO KILL (3:57) Charlotte Wrinch © 2004 charlottewrinch@gmail.com Take a good look around You can lose yourself in the lost and found Cell phones, lunch, a lonely dirty sock A bunch of smelly shirts, a broken lock. You’re moving up in the world Your engines on, your sail’s unfurled Just hear your inner voice ‘Cause when you’re on your own You’ve got the choice Social studies on the streets And science in the halls The writings is on the walls Mathematics is in the air Bilingual on the box Biological clocks, you’ve got Time to Kill, and you’ve got a Brain to fill. Dreaming of kissing in the sand Screaming ‘cause they don’t understand Wishing for wheels and ways Of winning freedom Everyone’s got a fear Of a reptile, or the dark or something queer It’s strange the things we dread And how we hide our little fears In our little head. What do I want to say? Don’t wanna lecture you, done that today Just be who you are Cause you’re neater, cooler, nicer Like that by far

THESE ARE THE EYES (4:26) Charlotte Wrinch © 2005 charlottewrinch@gmail.com One dream, one thrill, one hell of a hill One goal, one will, one fate to fulfill These are the eyes that are smiling for you These are the eyes of a friend These are the hands that applaud from the heart I am with you till the end There's more to come, you are what you're from Bright lights, shared dreams, it's all what it seems These are the eyes that are smiling for you These are the eyes of a friend These are the hands that applaud from the heart I am with you till the end Don't stop! We're moving on, the journey's only just begun Get set, there's still time yet If you’re feeling free and fine Follow the yellow line Winding its way through your world One breath, one mind, one future to find One grin, one grind, you’re one of a kind These are the eyes that are smiling for you These are the eyes of a friend These are the hands that applaud from the heart I am with you till the end I am with you till the end

KISS THE GROUND (3:18) Charlotte Wrinch © 2005 charlottewrinch@gmail.com She said, “Sit with me a while, I’ve had a rough day, give me a smile Oh your soft touch makes me shiver And your funk beat makes me quiver” Well, some days you get really lost And some days you get found You gotta laugh And kiss the ground Oh, you’ll have your ups and you’ll have your downs Things weigh a ton, then only weigh a pound Just laugh, and kiss the ground He said,” I know you’re feeling blue So I’ll tell you what I’ll do I’ll wrap you in my big strong arms And display my many charms” Well, some days you get really lost And some days you get found You gotta laugh And kiss the ground Oh, you’ll have your ups and you’ll have your downs Things weigh a ton, then only weigh a pound Just laugh, and kiss the ground

White Knight 03:21
WHITE KNIGHT (3:21) Charlotte Wrinch © 2006 charlottewrinch@gmail.com Light a candle, take a look outside your window Youʼre gonna have to go outside Youʼve been waiting for a special kind of someone Before your dream to love has died When the White Knightʼs riding free across the skyline Dare to touch him with your heart, and with your mind ʻCause you want him, and he wants you Light and breezy, never felt so good before And you notice, that itʼs easy, loving even more and more INSTRUMENTAL Itʼs not easy sharing life with one another The honeymoon soon fades away You gotta take a little lemon with the sugar A little darkness with the day When the White Knightʼs riding free across the skyline Dare to touch him with your heart, and with your mind Cause you want him, and he wants you Light and breezy, never felt so good before And you notice, that itʼs easy, that itʼs easy INSTRUMENTAL Light a candle, take a look outside your window Thereʼs so much love for you to do Let your white light shine into the hidden cavern Your White Knightʼs waiting there for you And he loves you

Hold On 03:14
HOLD ON (3:14) Charlotte Wrinch © 2005 charlottewrinch@gmail.com Can you feel your spirit rising On the crest of your white water? You have spent a long time drifting In the doldrums of your mind Now you've found a teeming vibrance In the beauty of creation And elation for the simple love That surrounds you all the time Hold on, and prepare for a collision Your survival's your decision And your future's your own vision Stand up and hold on Cause you know you've got it in you Every bone and every sinew Hold on Ooh, is this magic, or just another day? Ooh tell me, tell me won't you say? Is this a diamond, or just a lump of clay? You've been warned your risking everything With your silly senseless dreams But imagine what you'd be If you were stripped of all your creativity Cause the queen remains the ruler And the green eye holds it's view And the foolish man remains the fool No matter what you do Hold on, it's not just another fight Now you're lighting up your light And there's no-one wrong or right So, hold on Cause you know you've got it in you Every bone and every sinew Hold on

ATTIC OF HELL (3:25) Charlotte Wrinch © 2007 charlottewrinch@gmail.com A windy roadway leads you Into a city cool You get a sense of story forming as you Dive into a pool And in among the fishes You’re swimming from the south The laws of nature guide you gauging by the Current word of mouth When will the water run away from the window? You know that it’s been so swell These last few days have seemed a smidgen static Stuck in the Attic of Hell Now you begin to ponder Upon an inland sea You see a murky fishbowl filled with Economic history You know the Big Fish loves you He’ll swim to save the day Then let the ones that aren’t worth saving know They’d better learn to pray The sun is slowly rising The band comes marching in And help is on its way regardless of the Colour of your skin The wind, it whistles “Dixie” Above an ocean tossed And life begins again for everyone Except the ones you’ve lost When will the water run away from the window? You know that it’s been so swell These last few days have seemed a smidgen static Stuck in an Attic of Hell When will the water run away from the window? You know that it’s been so swell These last few days have seemed a smidgen static Stuck in an Attic of Hell

SECRET PARADISE (3:19) Charlotte Wrinch © 2002 charlottewrinch@gmail.com Climbing on a waterfall Hazy sunlight blinds the view Hanging on a purple thread Insect eyes are watching you Phantoms fall like rain The forest fills my brain And we're, lost in love The scene's so nice In our SECRET PARADISE Wee-ee-ooh, Fan-ta-sy Wee-ee-ooh, Come with me Miles and miles away from time Anchored in a turquoise bay Coral creatures, living jewels Dolphins chase the sharks away The planet's here to find, An ocean fills my mind And we're, lost in love The scene's so nice In our SECRET PARADISE Wee-ee-ooh, Fantasy Wee-ee-ooh, Come with me

This We Know 04:20
THIS WE KNOW (4:20) Charlotte Wrinch © 2006 charlottewrinch@gmail.com Earth, a creature in space Spinning in time, in it’s right place. Alive, teeming and turning Freezing and burning, Home to us all This We Know, all things are one This We Know, the web has been spun We are woven together And bound to the sun Stone, a relic of time Building the mountains, that we will climb. Water, around and around Rises to heaven, falls to the ground This We Know, the depth of the seas This We Know, the breath of the trees Are the cradle of life And the air all life breathes INSTRUMENTAL Drink, the wine of the stream And toast to the soil, and river clean. Eat, the bread of the field Indulge in the riches, without sword or shield This We Know, She is a bird This We Know, She’s every word And She whispers the promise That her children have heard
