[Verse] The faucet’s dripping all through the night Buckets fill with guilt in pale moonlight The streets run wet but no gardens grow San Ángel whispers Where did it go [Verse 2] Sprinklers spin when it’s pouring rain Wide-open taps like an old refrain The river’s dry but the waste runs deep Dreams of the thirsty They sing in sleep [Chorus] Got no flow Got no soul San Ángel's thirst has taken its toll Where does it stop Where does it end If we keep losing what we won’t defend [Verse 3] Pipes burst proud under cracked asphalt But who’s to blame And who’s at fault The water’s voice is a sob and plea Begging for care Not apathy [Bridge] Gutters mimic a weeping sky Plastic bottles for wells run dry The cycle breaks The dam won’t mend How much is left that we can spend [Chorus] Got no flow Got no soul San Ángel's thirst has taken its toll Where does it stop Where does it end If we keep losing what we won’t defend

*(Verse 1)* Oh, poor little Neil, in the pond he would glide, But the ducks all sneered, said, “You’re ugly inside.” With his warty brown skin and his slow, clumsy crawl, Neil dreamed of a day he’d be loved by them all. *(Chorus)* But Neil grew older, and his dreams turned to dust, No swan in the making, just a slug in the mud. The ducks flew away, and the pond turned to sludge, Neil’s not a duckling—he’s an uglier slug. *(Verse 2)* One day by the shore, Neil met Lola the gull, Her feathers were silver, her voice beautiful. She soared through the sky with a laugh soft and sweet, And Neil fell in love at the sound of her feet. *(Chorus)* Oh, Neil grew hopeful, though his heart was still scarred, He dreamed Lola might love him, though life had been hard. But the world’s cruel and cold, and the pond’s turned to sludge, Neil’s not a duckling—he’s an uglier slug. *(Bridge)* He’d leave her small gifts—bits of seaweed and shell, And whisper his love where the seagulls would dwell. But Lola just laughed, with a glint in her eye, “You’re nothing but dinner,” she said with a sigh. *(Verse 3)* One fateful gray morning, as the tide rolled in, Neil crawled to the shore, where his love might begin. But Lola swooped down, with a hunger so cruel, And Neil’s final thought was, “At least I’m her fuel.” *(Final Chorus)* Oh, Neil’s life was fleeting, and his dreams turned to dust, No swan in the making, just a slug in the mud. Lola flew onward, and the pond turned to sludge, Neil’s not a duckling—he’s an uglier slug. *(Outro)* So here’s to poor Neil, who loved with his heart, A slug in the shadows, torn right apart. The tale of the duckling was never his fate, Just a love that was lost, and a cruel, bitter plate.

[Verse] Your laughter hangs in the empty air Like a ghost that lingers but wasn’t there Every shadow’s shaped like your smile Even time can’t walk me another mile [Verse 2] Your name’s a song the wind loves to hum Every heartbeat echoes where you’re from I tried to drown it with the city’s cry But your memory still kisses the sky [Chorus] How can I forget you when the world won’t try Every moment holds a piece of goodbye I keep building walls but they just fall through How can I forget when I’m made of you [Verse 3] The night’s a thief that steals my rest Yet leaves your whispers tattooed on my chest Even silence screams as loud as shame The world moves on but it says your name [Bridge] I burned the letters but the ash won’t fade I rearranged heaven but the stars all stayed Every mirror shows the breaking truth Your face is etched in the stone of my youth [Chorus] How can I forget you when the world won’t try Every moment holds a piece of goodbye I keep building walls but they just fall through How can I forget when I’m made of you

[Verse] The wind it tells a secret tale In pines that whisper never fail A heart that's lost but seeks the sun The wanderer's search has just begun [Verse 2] Feet on soil hearts on fire Dreams in ashes yet climb higher Mountains call with echoes deep A love to find a life to keep [Chorus] Whispers in the pines they sing Of hope of love of everything The melody so soft and light Guides me through the darkest night [Verse 3] A stream flows gentle down the hill Its laughter promises a thrill The journey's rhythm keeps its pace With every step I find my grace [Bridge] The moonlight dances through the trees It bends it bows it begs to please A symphony of stars above Reminds the heart of lasting love [Chorus] Whispers in the pines they sing Of hope of love of everything The melody so soft and light Guides me through the darkest night

[Verse] Miri maa ke haathon ka woh pyar Roz banaye khushiyo ka sansar Khaane mein mila woh jeevan saar Dil se karta hoon uska satkar [Chorus] Miri maa meri duniya ka roop hai Uski duaon mein hi sab kuch chhup hai Raat mein sapno ki woh chaandni hai Miri maa meri zindagi ki bandini hai [Verse] Chhoti chhoti baaton mein voh samjhe Meri har khushi ko apne dil mein rakhe Kaise likhein uski yaadon ko lafzon mein Miri maa meri duniya ki lakiren hain [Bridge] Kuch bhi keh doon adhoora lage kahin Uska pyar toh hai aasman se gehin Dhundoon saari duniya mein uska badla Par maa jaisa pyaar milta nahi sacha [Chorus] Miri maa meri duniya ka roop hai Uski duaon mein hi sab kuch chhup hai Raat mein sapno ki woh chaandni hai Miri maa meri zindagi ki bandini hai [Verse] Ab dooriyan hain par dil paas hai Uska pyar toh sada aas hai Aaj bhi mehsoos karoon chhaya Maa ke baajuon ka voh saya

[Verse] The sun kissed the grass where we used to play Barefoot adventures We’d chase the day A stick was a sword The world was so wide No need to hide Just joy by our side [Verse 2] Pockets full of dirt and dreams in my hand Building kingdoms out of sticks in the sand Mom would call us in when the sky turned red And we’d count the stars as we lay in bed [Chorus] Back when I was ten The days felt so long Every wrong was fleeting Every right was a song The scars on my knees tell the stories of then Oh take me back to life when I was ten [Verse 3] Trading bubblegum like it was pure gold Every secret promise we dared to hold Climbing every tree No mountain too far Wishing on the brightest Smallest falling star [Bridge] Life was a painting with colors so bright We'd laugh through the day then sleep through the night No weight on our shoulders no rush to grow fast Now I just want to linger in the echoes of the past [Chorus] Back when I was ten The days felt so long Every wrong was fleeting Every right was a song The scars on my knees tell the stories of then Oh take me back to life when I was ten

Oh, Mike Jordan’s the man with the tavern in town, In Barnstaple he’s known, but his luck’s runnin’ down. On Mondays he gathers ‘round the table to play, With Danny, Stacey, Matt, Bailey, Ryan, and Sam—oh what a day! *(Chorus)* Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck! Now Mike’s got a strategy, he’s sharp as a knife, But Sean’s at the table, causin’ trouble and strife. “Fold!” cries Mike, but Sean’s got no clue, He pushes his chips, and Mike’s feelin’ blue. *(Chorus)* Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck! Danny’s got a straight, Stacey’s got a pair, Matt’s bluffin’ hard, but Sean’s in the air. Ryan’s laughin’, Sam’s takin’ the pot, Mike’s just cryin’, ‘cause Sean’s lost the plot. *(Bridge)* Now the tavern’s in stitches, the laughter won’t end, Mike’s reputation’s gone, thanks to his friend. Sean’s tail’s waggin’, he’s havin’ a ball, While Mike’s just wonderin’, “Why did I bring him at all?” *(Chorus)* Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck! *(Verse 3)* Now Nicola’s waitin’, she’s shakin’ her head, “Mike, it’s bedtime, no more tears,” she said. He’s cryin’ ‘bout losin’, his pride’s hit the floor, While Sean’s on the sofa, just snorin’ some more. *(Chorus)* Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck! *(Outro)* So if you’re in Barnstaple on a Monday night, Head to the tavern for a card game delight. But don’t bet on Mike, ‘cause Sean’s in the mix, And Nicola’s waitin’ with her bedtime tricks! Oh, Mike Jordan, he’s the man with the plan, But his pet Sean goes all in, ruins his hand! He’s losin’ his chips, losin’ his respect, And Nicola sends him to bed, oh what the heck!

[Verse 1] I was reaching for the light, but the darkness pulled me under Every step I tried to take, only led to more thunder They said love would heal my scars, but it's tearing me apart Now I’m standing in the rain, whispering your name [Pre-Chorus] I would break every rule just to hold you again But the chains of my past won’t let me ascend [Chorus] I'm a shadow in the night, lost without you Falling faster from the sky, nothing I can do I was meant to love you, but I let you go Now I’m just a fallen angel, drowning all alone [Verse 2] Every memory of us, like a ghost that won’t surrender I still see your silhouette in the flames of last December If I could turn back time, I would change the end But the stars have burned out, and I can’t pretend [Pre-Chorus] I would break every rule just to hold you again But the chains of my past won’t let me ascend [Chorus] I'm a shadow in the night, lost without you Falling faster from the sky, nothing I can do I was meant to love you, but I let you go Now I’m just a fallen angel, drowning all alone [Bridge] If you hear me calling, would you take my hand? Could we rewrite the story, give love one more chance? [Final Chorus] I'm a shadow in the night, lost without you Falling faster from the sky, nothing I can do I was meant to love you, but I let you go Now I’m just a fallen angel, drowning all alone [Outro] Falling, falling... Drowning all alone...

Oh, Sharpy’s from Barnstaple town, He used to work the bins, But now he drinks all day, my friends, And his life’s in a tailspin! **Chorus:** Oh, Sharpy, Sharpy, what a lad, A life so full of schemes, He stole from Ryan, ripped off Scott, And chased his drug-fueled dreams! He pinched poor Ryan’s hard-earned cash, And Scott’s potato van, Sold it back for a quick buck, Oh, Sharpy, what a man! **Chorus:** Oh, Sharpy, Sharpy, what a lad, A life so full of schemes, He stole from Ryan, ripped off Scott, And chased his drug-fueled dreams! He was cruel to Vix, his loving wife, And Ellie, his poor girl, But Paz stepped in to save the day, And gave their world a whirl. **Chorus:** Oh, Sharpy, Sharpy, what a lad, A life so full of schemes, He stole from Ryan, ripped off Scott, And chased his drug-fueled dreams! Now Sharpy’s lost, his life’s a mess, No job, no friends, no pride, But Vix and Ellie found their peace, With Paz right by their side. **Final Chorus:** Oh, Sharpy, Sharpy, what a lad, A life so full of schemes, But karma’s come to take its toll, And shattered all his dreams! So here’s the tale of Sharpy’s fall, From Barnstaple to despair, Be kind, be true, and don’t be cruel, Or you’ll end up like him, beware!

**[Verse 1]** Terry Jenkins lays the cables, wears a hard hat every day, Digging up the pavements, keeping folks okay. But when the work is over, and the sun begins to fade, He dreams of fitting fences and the plans that he has made! **[Chorus]** Oh, Terry Jenkins is a cable man, he’s got a steady hand, But his heart’s in Lynton, where the sea meets the land. With his mate beside him, and a paintbrush in the air, He’s dreaming of a life beyond the cables there! **[Verse 2]** He lives in Barnstaple, in a little terraced house, With a shed full of tools, as quiet as a mouse. But on the weekends, Terry’s off to Lynton town, To paint and build fences, where the hills roll down. **[Chorus]** Oh, Terry Jenkins is a cable man, he’s got a steady hand, But his heart’s in Lynton, where the sea meets the land. With his mate beside him, and a paintbrush in the air, He’s dreaming of a life beyond the cables there! **[Verse 3]** His mate in Lynton’s an artist, with a head full of dreams, They work on fences together, by the babbling streams. Terry paints the pickets, while his mate does the design, And they laugh and they chatter, over mugs of wine! **[Chorus]** Oh, Terry Jenkins is a cable man, he’s got a steady hand, But his heart’s in Lynton, where the sea meets the land. With his mate beside him, and a paintbrush in the air, He’s dreaming of a life beyond the cables there! **[Outro]** So here’s to Terry Jenkins, with his hard hat and his spade, A cable man by week, but a dreamer by trade. From Barnstaple to Lynton, he’s a legend in his way, Terry Jenkins the cable man, hip-hip hooray!
