Dedicate 04:25
Music and Lyrics by Alan Lauris You dedicate your life to creation You dedicate your life to the best You dedicate your life to your nation You dedicate your life to the quest A life’s a collection of moments And every moment ‘s all right Surely you don’t want to miss one So you dedicate, you dedicate your life You dedicate your life, You dedicate you life Every moment again and again you dedicate your life It’s all about paying attention It’s all about looking around When you dedicate your life to the sunrise Then you dedicate your life to a sound You dedicate your life, You dedicate you life Every moment again and again you dedicate your life Every moment again and again and again and again and again and again…You dedicate your life! Every moment again and again and again and again and again and again…You dedicate your life! You dedicate your life to your business You dedicate your life to your car You dedicate your life to the dishes You dedicate your life to the stars It’s all a about being connected When you dedicate your life to the light You dedicate your life to your smartphone Then you dedicate your life to your wife You dedicate your life, You dedicate your life Every moment again and again you dedicate your life Every moment again and again you dedicate your life Every moment again and again you dedicate your life You dedicate your life to the weather, the lonely, a sportscar, politics, the good cause, a boys band, the future, your music, the helpless, the laundry, your children, the answer, your passion, a journey, a phonecall, your breakfast, a party, a blackbird, a program

You appeared from nowhere Without any warning A real life Jack-in-the-box Bustling your way through Scattering the crowd All blazing hair and Bobby-socks Diamonds and shadows Behind your eyes Blazing hair and Bobby-socks A frown on your face That's far too old The smile on your lips gently mocks Still you had a sense of wonder An insatiable curiousity That led you towards Every success, every blunder And still you couldn't see Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes Diamonds and shadows, surprise, surprise Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes Diamonds and shadows Like a human pinball A hirsute dynamo Ordered from pillar to post By the child within Hardly having time to catch your breath But little did you know Blazing hair and Bobby-socks Won't deter life's pains and blows There'll come a time maybe soon When the diamonds no longer Outnumber the shadows Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes Diamonds and shadows, surprise, surprise Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes Diamonds and shadows

Lonely night 02:19
It's a lonely night you're away It's getting light outside I lie awake I was tired things had to change I had to act But now it feels pretty strange I'll get no sleep but that's ok I'm coming back from being led astry It's a lonely night in a king-sized bed and there will be more lonely nights ahead
