Not pretending I’m out here cause I’m lonely - it’s not so I can get a better view
There’s no reason, no reason I’m only, I’m only standing here because of you
I’m here to take a dive, you’re here to watch me fall, baby watch me fall…lord
Baby watch me fall…
I’m not pretending I’m a super hero, why I’m up here I don’t really know
But I do know folks they like to see a good show, and a crowd is gathered so baby here I go
I’m here to take a dive, you’re here to watch me fall, baby watch me fall…lord
Baby watch me fall…
(ch.) Rockets on my shoes, sparklers in my hands
When I light the fuse, gonna blast to beat the band
Not pretending I’m out here cause I’m lonely - it’s not so I can get a better view
There’s no reason, no reason I’m only, I’m only standing here because of you
(ch.) Rockets on my shoes, sparklers in my hands
When I light the fuse, gonna blast to beat the band
Gonna tear across the sky lord, like a shooting star
And baby if I survive now, I got a victory cigar
Solo
I’m not pretending I’m a super hero, why I’m up here I don’t really know
But I do know folks they like to see a good show, and a crowd is gathered so baby here I go
I’m here to take a dive, you’re here to watch me fall
I’m here to take a dive, you’re here to watch me fall
I’m here to take a dive, you’re here to watch me fall, baby watch me fall..lord

Need Money
Tell you what I’m gonna do, I’ll fall in love with you
Tell you what I’m gonna do, but first ,I need money
Then when you fall for me, we’ll live so happily
So happily Baby, with all my money
I’ll do what it takes, to keep you warm and safe
I’ll do what it takes, but man it takes money
(Break down)
Dame todo tu dinero – give me your money
Dame todo tu dinero – give me your money
Just put the money in the bag
I’ll do what it takes, to keep you warm and safe
I’ll do what it takes, but man, I need money
You are, you are the flavour, the flavour that I saveur
You are the wine, the wafer, but Baby it takes money

Hey Barcelona

Hey Barcelona
I didn’t come here to warn you,
just going to let it ride
Just let it go and see where it rolls,
that is if you got nothing to hide nah
Hey Barcelona,
as I ramble down your boulevards
Getting drunk on your sounds as I start making rounds
Swingin a bottle as I look to the stars
Hey Catalonia,
with your Sagrada familia
Watch your spires grows, just like sugarloaves,
like anthills of gods will y’all
Just rambling down Las Ramblas,
and gambling with the gamblers
I’ve returned from the mountain to drink from the fountain-
The Font de Canaletes
solo
Hey Barcelona,
just when I think I’m at the end
My bridges are burnt, somehow I always return
To get drunk on your charms once again
I Didn’t come here to warn you,
just going to let it ride
Just let it go and see where it rolls,
that is if you got nothing to hide nah

It Doesn’t Matter
Everybody wants to get to know you, when you’re climbing the ladder
Everybody wants to get to know you, but you’re walking away
You’re turning your back now, like it just don’t matter
Turning your back now, and facing away
Everybody wants to get to know you, when you’re climbing the ladder
Everybody wants to get to know you, but you’re walking away
(ch) It doesn’t matter-you got to do what you got to do
It doesn’t matter- work it through
Everybody wants to try to own you, cause you shine like a diamond
When you shine they’ll try to find a way to own you, to steal your soul away
Wolves at your back now, dressed as shepherds in sheeps clothing
They’re circling around, got to keep them at bay
(ch) It doesn’t matter-you got to do what you got to do
It doesn’t matter- work it through
It doesn’t matter- you got to do what you got to do
It doesn’t matter – it’s true
SOLO
Everybody wants to get to know you, when you’re climbing the ladder
Everybody wants to get to know you, but you’re walking away
You’re turning your back now, like it just don’t matter
Turning your back now, and facing away
Everybody wants to get to know you(Everybody wants to get to know you)
Everybody wants to get to know you
Everybody wants to get to know you(Everybody wants to get to know you)
Everybody wants to get to know you X
But you’re walking, you’re walking…away

The Vanrays Vancouver, British Columbia
EastVan Soul:
It's a Motown beat down in a shark skin suit. It's wailing like its gospel while they're laying in the
boots. It's a curb stomping rhythm on the corner of control. It's a nod in the direction, when all the shoes had leather souls. And to when those shoes were twisting, to Otis and to James. And so now do, The Vanrays too, we are here to do the same.
