THE PERFECT TEAM 03:10
lyrics
buy track
YOU LOVE ME ONCE. YOU LOVE ME TWICE. YOU TREAT ME BAD. YOU TREAT ME NICE. I COME TO YOU. YOU LET ME GO. I SAY I DO. YOU SAY YOU DON'T. WO! WE SAY GOODNIGHT TO AVOID A FIGHT. WE DREAM THE THOUGHTS WE SAID TONIGHT. WE HEAR THE SCREAMS OF UNSAID THINGS. YOU AND I, THE PERFECT TEAM. 'CAUSE WE ARE ROCKIN'. YES WE ARE ROCKIN'. WE ARE ROCKIN'. WE ARE ROCKIN' THE PERFECT TEAM. YOU FEED MY SOUL IN ROCK AND ROLL. YOU FLASH A GRIN, AND THEN I KNOW. I SMILE AT YOU. YOU SMILE AT ME. WE LOVE EACH OTHER SO HAPPILY. 'CAUSE WE ARE ROCKIN'. YES SO WE ARE ROCKIN'. WO! WE ARE ROCKIN'. WE ARE ROCKIN' THE PERFECT TEAM. YOU WANT A BRIDGE. I BURN THEM UP. YOU TAKE A SHOT. I USE A CUP. (SOLO) I SAY GOODBYE. YOU SAY HELLO. WE FELL IN LOVE FROM HEAD TO TOE. WE ARE NOT QUITE WHAT WE SEEM. THIS IS WHY WE'RE THE PERFECT TEAM. (ROCKER CHICK!) (SOLO)

A WORLD 03:19
lyrics
buy track
I'VE BEEN SCORNED AS A CHILD. THOUGH LAUGHED AT, I SMILED, STILL FEELING EMPTINESS. I'M ALWAYS ALONE, SITTING AT HOME, DYING. I CRY WHEN I SLEEP, AND ALWAYS I WEEP, PRETENDING THAT I'M FEELING LESS. I SLEEP WHEN I CRY, WISHING TO DIE, OH MY. AND THE WORLD GOES BY AS I'M TELLING LIES, NOT FOOLING ANYONE. BUT WHEN I DO FIND MY PEACE OF MIND, IT'S GONE. AND OH THAT FEELING OF FEELING SORROW AND PAIN, WITH THE PEOPLE ACTING TO BE KIND. BUT WHEN I SEE THE WORLD THAT'S BEING--DISDAIN, I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN SO BLIND. I'VE BEEN BEATEN AND RAPED, AND SO MUCH I ACHE, WITH HURT IN MY HEAD. THOUGH I TURN BACK AROUND, I FALL TO THE GROUND INSTEAD. YET I AM A MAN, I FEEL I AM DAMNED TO THIS WORLD I DISTRUST. I'M TRULY ALONE IN THIS WORLD I ROAM MADE OF DUST. OH THAT FEELING OF FEELING THAT I'M BEING USED, I HEAR SOME WORDS OF HATE. YET WHEN I FEEL THAT I AM BEING ABUSED, I KNOW MY LAST COMING FATE. I'VE BEEN SAD AS A CHILD. MY LIFESTYLE, SO MILD. I FEEL THAT SOMETHING INSTEAD IS TRYING TO SAY THAT MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL BE DEAD. BUT I KNOW I'LL LIVE ON, WRITING MY SONGS, SINGING TO EVERYONE. AND SOMEDAY I'LL BE SO HAPPY AND FREE, I SEE. I NEED TO GO ON.

SOME HAVE SEEN THE RAIN 03:06

SOME HAVE SEEN THE RAIN. SOME HAVE SEEN THE SKY. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT I FEEL ALL RIGHT TONIGHT. SOME HAVE HEARD THE WIND, BUT I NEVER HAD. AND I PRAY TO LIFE TO NEVER FEEL THIS SAD. OH, IT MAKES ME FEEL SO BAD. LET YOUR MIND RUN FREE, OR THAT IT MAY DIE. LET YOUR HEART BEAT FREE, FOR YOU MAY NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO TRY. SOME HAVE TOLD ME LIES. SOME HAVE HATED ME, YET I DO DESPISE. LET ME CONQUER THEE. LET ME BE. (SOLO) SOME HAVE SEEN THE RAIN. SOME HAVE FELT MY PAIN. DON'T YOU DIE IN VAIN. WE HAVE SEEN THE RAIN, THE GLORY AND THE PAIN; THE GOOD AND INSANE.

THEY 02:52
lyrics
buy track
THEY ALL TELL ME WHAT TO DO. THEY ALL TREAT ME LIKE A FOOL. THEY EXPECT WAY TOO MUCH FROM ME. I'M CONFUSED RIGHT OUT OF MY MIND. WHAT DO THEY WANT ME TO FIND? THEY ALL SEEM TO BE AFTER ME. AND I KNOW THAT THEY SEE. WHY DO I FEEL OUT OF TIME? WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I AM BLIND? MAYBE 'CAUSE I JUST CAN'T FIND ME. WHY DO I NEED THEIR ADVICE? I DON'T NEED THESE CRAZY LINES. MAYBE I'M JUST TOO YOUNG TO SEE. THEY ALL SAY THAT I'M TOO SMALL. THEY DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL. WHAT GIVES THEM THE RIGHT TO BE? THEY STILL SEEM TO ACT SO CRUEL. THEY THINK I'M JUST ONE BIG FOOL. I WILL NOT LET THEM USE ME. WHY DO I FEEL SO DEAD? LET ME WRITE MY SONGS INSTEAD. THAT IS WHY I AM HERE TO SING. WHY DO I FEEL SO OLD, MIND AND BODY AND MY SOUL? WHAT GOOD DOES ALL THIS CRAP BRING? THEY ALL TELL ME WHAT TO DO. THEY ALL TREAT ME LIKE A FOOL. THEY EXPECT WAY TOO MUCH FROM ME. THAT'S WHY I'LL BE JUST ME.

(I WILL NEVER) HAVE FAITH IN LOVE AGAIN 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I, I WILL NEVER HAVE FAITH IN LOVE AGAIN. GOOD-BYES MAKES ME CRY FOR YOU. WE NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK FROM OUR HEARTS. IT ENDED WITH A PAIN TORN APART. BUT NEVER SAY IT'S OVER, FOR FRIENDSHIP DOESN'T DIE. TRUE LOVE HAS A WAY TO LIVE AND SURVIVE. I WILL NEVER HAVE FAITH IN LOVE AGAIN, FOR SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND, MY BEST FRIEND. IF IT'S REAL, THE TIME WILL COME TO US AGAIN. BUT FOR NOW I WILL WAIT UNTIL THEN. BUT NEVER SAY IT'S OVER, FOR FRIENDSHIP CANNOT DIE. TRUE LOVE HAS A WAY TO LIVE AND SURVIVE. (SOLO) I WILL NEVER HAVE FAITH IN LOVE AGAIN.

NO HOPE 03:03
lyrics
buy track
YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ONTO MY SOUL. YOU WISH ME TO FEEL NO MORE. I RATHER FEEL THE PAIN OF GOING CRAZY AND INSANE THAN TO DIE. BUT YOU SAY, “NO HOPE. NO NOPE.” YOU MAKE ME EAT MY WORDS FROM EVERYTHING THAT YOU HEARD. VERY SOON, I WON'T TRY, AND THEN I'LL KNOW WHY YOU DESPISE ME. BUT YOU SAY, “NO HOPE. NO HOPE. NO HOPE. NO, NO, NO, NO.” I FOUND THE TIME, I FOUND THE TIME, I FOUND THE TIME THAT WE LOST. BUT YOU SAY, “NO HOPE. NO HOPE. NO HOPE.” WHEN I ASKED YOU IF LOVE IS TRUE, YOU THEN TELL ME, “NOPE, IT WON'T BE!” THEN WE SAY, “NO HOPE. NO HOPE. NO HOPE. NO, NO, NO, NO. NO HOPE. NO HOPE. NO HOPE.”

YOU WANT TO STAY WITH HIM, THOUGH I TRIED TO PULL YOU APART. WHO DO YOU LOVE? AND I WISH YOU WERE WITH ME. AND I WISH YOU WERE HERE. MY HEART IS EMPTY WHEN YOU'RE NOT AROUND. I CRY! I AM HELPLESS FOR YOU; FOR YOUR LOVE. GIVE ME SOME MORE TIME! AND I WISH YOU WOULD LOVE ME. AND I WISH YOU WERE NEAR. MY HEART IS HEAVY WHEN YOU'RE NOT AROUND. MY TEARS ARE CRYING FOR YOU. YOU GIVE ME HOPE. YOU GIVE ME LOVE, AND THEN YOU TURN ME DOWN. YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH. YOU GIVE ME JOY, AND THEN YOU TURN AROUND. ALL I WANT IS SOME TIME TO TALK AND LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF OUR HEARTS. (SOLO) AND I WISH YOU WOULD LEAVE ME. AND I WISH TO BE ALONE. IT'S BETTER THIS WAY AND I AM SORRY. AND I WISH YOU WERE MINE.

CASTLE OF TEARS 02:32
lyrics

WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I RAN THROUGH THE NIGHT RAIN, AND REVELED IN THE VAST OPEN SPACES IN WHICH TO HIDE. BUT YOU PROMISED LOVE AND AN END TO THE PAIN, AND I WENT THROUGH THE NIGHT RAIN WITH YOU BY MY SIDE. BLACKNESS HIDES MY FACE. RAIN HIDES MY TEARS. I WANTED YOU IN THAT PLACE, I WOULD HAVE WAITED FOR YEARS. NOW YOU LOVE A GIRL MADE OF SUNLIGHT, AND I'M ALONE WHEN THE RAIN FALLS ALL NIGHT. AND YOU LOVE A GIRL MADE OF SUNLIGHT! WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I'M ALONE TONIGHT? ARE YOU WITH HER WHEN THE RAIN FALLS ALL NIGHT? EVEN THROUGH A CONCEALING DARK, I FOUND SOMETHING I COULD CALL A START. ALL I WANT TO BE IS ALONE. MY MIND IS MY HOME. I'LL BUILD A CASTLE OF TEARS AND CALL IT MY HOME.

I SEE YOUR LOVING EYES AS I LOOK INTO THE SKIES. AND WHEN THE FLOWER SHEDS HER TEARS, NOT HIDING WITHIN HER FEARS, ALL I ASK FROM YOU IS THE TRUTH AND NOT TO CHEAT WITHIN YOUR YOUTH. AND WHEN I TOUCH YOU, I QUIVER INSIDE. IT IS A FEELING I SHOULD NEVER HIDE. HERE WE GO AGAIN. HERE WE GO AGAIN. MM! I STARE RIGHT IN YOUR EYES, LOOKING FOR THOSE SECRET LIES. I WISH TO BE WITH YOU FOREVER AND EVER. I LOOK FOR ALL YOUR LOVE. IT COMES FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE. I LOOK FOR THE LOVE IN YOUR HEART. HOW CAN WE FAIL IF WE NEVER START? OUR LOVE IS GREATER THAN THEIRS, OR ANYONE ELSE THAT COMPARES. I'LL BE YOUR LOVER UNTIL I DIE, 'CAUSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND THAT IS WHY. HERE WE GO AGAIN. MM! HERE WE GO AGAIN. YEAH! I STARE RIGHT IN YOUR EYES, LOOKING PAST THOSE SECRET LIES. I WISH TO BE WITH YOU FOREVER AND EVER. I STARE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR EYES, LOOKING FOR SOME SIMPLE SIGN. I LOOK FOR THE LOVE IN YOUR HEART. HOW CAN WE FAIL IF WE NEVER START? WE'LL NEVER PART. HERE WE GO AGAIN. MM! HERE WE GO AGAIN. YEA! HERE WE GO AGAIN ANDAGAIN AND AGAIN....(REPEAT/OUT)

about

This album, the 35th digital release by The Santairs, combines the good with the bad, the happy with the sad, the positive with the negative. Musically, it feels like folk and rock meet somewhere in the middle. And, of course, always expect some of the avant-garde within the music.

This album is kindly dedicated to one and only, Ann Bisogno.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
