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!
My old man's a dustman

[Verse] I’m staring at the sky it’s painted in gray I’m lost in a haze don’t know which way You left your mark it’s lingering here Like a ghost in the smoke I can’t disappear [Verse 2] The shadows crawl and whisper your name My reflection it doesn’t look the same Closed a door but the echoes remain Haunted by a love that’s carved in my veins [Chorus] You're a flame that refuses to die Burning bright in the back of my mind Like the wind you’re gone but alive A ghost in the smoke I can’t survive [Bridge] Ashes fall like memories tonight Cover my heart but can’t make it right I’m chasing shadows and losing the fight Your silhouette dances under the light [Verse 3] Every breath I take feels like a mistake Your presence lingers it’s too much to take The silence screams it’s louder than sound In the ruins of us I'm still spellbound [Chorus] You’re a flame that refuses to die Burning bright in the back of my mind Like the wind you’re gone but alive A ghost in the smoke I can’t survive
[Verse] जुन जस्ती निधारको कालो तिकी कानमा झुम्का बोकी अनि ओठमा लगाई लाली माया गरी सधैँभरी [Chorus] हाम्रो साथ रहोस जुनी भरी यो यात्रा कहिले नटुटोस कहिल्यै कही हृदयमा होस माया निरन्तर बगिरही साथ सधैँ पैलाभरी [Verse 2] आकाश जस्तो विशाल हाम्रो प्रेम पहाड जस्तो बलियो स्थिर छ त्यो नेम जुन जस्तै निलो मुहार सपना साझा होस् बारम्बार [Chorus] हाम्रो साथ रहोस जुनी भरी यो यात्रा कहिले नटुटोस कहिल्यै कही हृदयमा होस माया निरन्तर बगिरही साथ सधैँ पैलाभरी [Bridge] जुनले देखोस् हाम्रो उज्यालो बाटो सङ्गै लेखौँ हर दिनको नोट कलम होस् प्रेमले भिजेको हाम्रो कथा कहिले नबुझिएको [Chorus] हाम्रो साथ रहोस जुनी भरी यो यात्रा कहिले नटुटोस कहिल्यै कही हृदयमा होस माया निरन्तर बगिरही साथ सधैँ पैलाभरी
(Verse 1) Sunrise paints the ferry gold, a chill wind off the Sound, Another day on Whidbey's fold, where hidden homes are found. My tools are packed, my van is primed, a thermos steamin' hot, Another circuit intertwined, another tangled knot. From Langley's shores to Oak Harbor's bay, I'm chasin' every spark, A flicker here, a power sway, I'm leavin' my own mark. (Chorus) Whidbey wires, runnin' deep, through cedar, fir, and pine, From island homes where secrets sleep, to storefronts brightly shine. I'm the current's steady hand, the voltage's trusted guide, An electrician on this land, where nature's beauty hides. (Verse 2) A farmhouse old, with knob and tube, a relic of the past, A modern build, a sleek new cube, where solar panels cast. The salty air, the misty rain, the eagles overhead, I'm climbin' poles, again, again, where power lines are spread. The tide is low, the seagulls cry, a customer calls in need, A tripped breaker, blinkin' eye, a complicated deed. (Chorus) Whidbey wires, runnin' deep, through cedar, fir, and pine, From island homes where secrets sleep, to storefronts brightly shine. I'm the current's steady hand, the voltage's trusted guide, An electrician on this land, where nature's beauty hides. (Bridge) Sometimes the ferry's late at night, the fog hangs thick and low, But when I flip that switch to light, the satisfaction starts to grow. A warm glow in a cabin's pane, a porch lamp shinin' bright, I know I've eased another pain, and chased away the night. (Chorus) Whidbey wires, runnin' deep, through cedar, fir, and pine, From island homes where secrets sleep, to storefronts brightly shine. I'm the current's steady hand, the voltage's trusted guide, An electrician on this land, where nature's beauty hides. (Outro) The sun descends, a crimson hue, across the Puget's face, Another job, another view, a peaceful, quiet space. I park my van, my day is done, the tools are put away, Another spark, another one, to brighten Whidbey's day.
[Verse] City lights they’re calling loud Neon dreams they form a crowd Heartbeat races can’t slow down Lost but loving this bright town [Verse 2] Rooftop whispers in the haze Footsteps dancing through the maze Chasing streaks of purple skies Catch the stars in our wild eyes [Chorus] Electric love we’re burning bright Shining through the endless night Feel the rhythm lose control Neon nights will steal your soul [Verse 3] Shadows chasing what we find Leave the doubters far behind Echoes linger feel the vibe We’re the pulse that’s still alive [Bridge] Fingers trace the skyline's glow Everything we need we know Bound by lights that sing too fast Living moments that won’t last [Chorus] Electric love we’re burning bright Shining through the endless night Feel the rhythm lose control Neon nights will steal your soul
(Verse 1) In a world of chaos, where shadows may fall, A decision is made, a resolute call. With hearts full of faith, and spirits so bold, A family declares, their story unfolds. (Chorus) Ask for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, His love our compass, His Word our reward. Through trials and triumphs, our faith will endure, In His grace we find strength, forever secure. (Verse 2) With humble devotion, they kneel and they pray, Seeking guidance and wisdom, to light up their way. In every sunrise, His blessings they see, In every challenge, His hand sets them free. (Chorus) Ask for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, His love our compass, His Word our reward. Through trials and triumphs, our faith will endure, In His grace we find strength, forever secure. (Bridge) Like a beacon of hope, their love shines so bright, A testament to faith, in the darkest of night. Their home a sanctuary, where peace can reside, With God as their shepherd, their hearts open wide. (Chorus) Ask for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, His love our compass, His Word our reward. Through trials and triumphs, our faith will endure, In His grace we find strength, forever secure. (Outro) So let their voices rise, in joyful acclaim, A family united, in Jesus' name. Ask for me and my house, forever we'll say, We will serve the Lord, now and always.
[Verse] Eyes like fire pulling me in their wake Your touch a riddle I ache to break The room burns up shadows around the flame I’m begging for more but don’t know your name [Chorus] Whisper to me promises that bite Hold on tight in this fevered night Every breath a secret we dare not share Caught in a dream only we could wear [Verse 2] Fingers trembling on this fragile thread Your words linger dancing in my head A fantasy carved deep into my skin I’ll surrender just let the night begin [Chorus] Whisper to me promises that bite Hold on tight in this fevered night Every breath a secret we dare not share Caught in a dream only we could wear [Bridge] I’m laid bare dissolving under your gaze Drunken desire in this endless haze Are you cruel or kind it’s all so unclear But every no melts into yes my dear [Chorus] Whisper to me promises that bite Hold on tight in this fevered night Every breath a secret we dare not share Caught in a dream only we could wear
[Verse] Your eyes are storms I can't escape They pull me under no time to wait Fingers tremble like a secret untold Burning for a touch that’s bold [Verse 2] In my dreams you’re untamed fire I’m the moth caught by desire Begging for the night’s cruel tease Give me chaos I’m on my knees [Chorus] Crave you wildly can’t let go Pull me deep don’t say no Fantasy fever I can't contain Take me dancing in the rain [Verse 3] The world fades every time you’re near Breathless whispers all I hear A taste of heaven in your kiss Tell me baby who could resist [Bridge] You're a sin wrapped in silk Honey sweeter than spilt milk Beg in shadows plead in light Give me love or endless night [Chorus] Crave you wildly can’t let go Pull me deep don’t say no Fantasy fever I can't contain Take me dancing in the rain
(Verso 1) Hoy despierto y me abrazo No hay prisas, voy a mi paso Cada error es mi maestro Cada sueño es mi pretexto (Pre-coro) No necesito más que mi voz Para cantarle a mi corazón Hoy elijo mi verdad Ser quien soy, sin disfraz (Coro) Soy mi hogar, mi luz, mi paz No me dejo nunca atrás En mi piel encuentro amor Soy mi fuego, soy mi sol (Verso 2) Ya no busco en otro lado Lo que en mí siempre ha estado Soy mi fuerza, soy mi guía Soy la luz en mis días (Puente) Si caigo, me vuelvo a levantar Con mis manos me vuelvo a sanar El amor que busqué en los demás Siempre en mí estuvo ya (Coro final) Soy mi hogar, mi luz, mi paz No me dejo nunca atrás En mi piel encuentro amor Soy mi fuego, soy mi sol (Outro) Hoy despierto y me abrazo… Soy mi hogar, soy mi lazo.
Velvet nights, the radio’s glow, Cassette tape spinning, let the rhythm flow. Drums hit soft like a lover’s sigh, Saxophone whispers under moonlit sky. Synthesizers hum like a secret dream, Bassline walking where the city gleams. A touch of Prince, a trace of Sting, Echoes of love in the songs we sing. Oh, neon echoes in the night, Slow jam groove, hearts take flight. From leather and lace to electric desire, 80’s love, like a burning fire. New wave shadows in the candlelight, A Stevie bassline keeps it locked in tight. Shoulder pads sharp, lips cherry red, MTV stars spinning in my head. Synthesizers hum like a secret dream, Michael’s moves, yeah, they set the scene. A touch of Hall, a trace of Oates, Loving you in these timeless notes. Oh, neon echoes in the night, Slow jam groove, hearts take flight. From leather and lace to electric desire, 80’s love, like a burning fire. Turn the dial, let’s fade away, Sade’s voice on a rainy day. No need to rush, no need to run, Just a saxophone under the setting sun. Neon echoes, forever play, In the heart of yesterday. Through synthesizers, love still gleams, A timeless pulse in midnight dreams.
