Dance with me instead
By Milan Perkins + The Milano Express
I know how you play
You take away the rules
I’ve seen you play those wise men,
You melt them into fools,
But I know what you’re thinking,
When we’re lying in our bed,
I can see your thoughts argue with themselves,
As they go running through your head
Let’s tango through the ocean
Let’s salsa to the moon
These morsels of emotion
They come and go too soon
So please let’s stop this fighting
Every time we’ve fought, I’ve bled
I’m a lover not a fighter girl,
So dance with me instead.
I know how you play
You disregard my rules
I’ve seen you play those wise men,
You melt them into fools,
Let’s tango through the ocean
Let’s salsa to the moon
These morsels of emotion
They come and go too soon
So please put down your weapons
I can’t reason with you when all you see is red,
I’m a lover not a fighter girl,
So dance with me instead.
You don’t think I’m listening
But I heard every word you said
So let’s put down our weapons dear,
And dance with me instead.

Justice (Electric version)
By Milan Perkins
There’s no bomb
There’s no war
There’s no time for that (bullshit) behaviour anymore
There’s no guns
There’s no money
This ain’t no time for wisecracks
‘Cause it just ain’t funny (the shit just ain’t funny)
There’s no mess
There’s no fuss
There’s no justice,
Just us
There’s no black
There’s no white
There’s no need to take up arms
‘Cause there’s no one left to fight
There’s no wrong
There’s no right
This ain’t no time for pissing competitions (childish schoolyard games)
We’ve got bullets we need to bite
There’s no hiss
There’s no cuss
There’s no justice,
Just us
And we’re tryin’ to find our place in this world
Yeah And we’re tryin’ to find our place in this world
There’s no you
There’s no me
Keeping everything apart
Is not the way it oughta’ be
There’s no yours
There’s no mine
There’s no point telling everybody
That everything’s just fine
There’s no faith
There’s no trust
There’s no justice
Just us

A little bit more
By Milan Perkins
If I knew the meaning of life
Would it make it easier to live?
If you knew the purpose of love
Would we have more of it to give?
If I found the fountain of youth
Would that stop me from growing old?
And if I kept this fire in my belly, just for you girl,
Would that stop you from growing cold
See I don’t know these things
No I don’t know these things it’s true.
But if I knew these things, if I knew these things,
I surely share them with you
‘Cause you give me everything
and a little, a little bit,
a little bit more
you give me everything
and a little, a little bit,
a little bit more than I can deserve.
If I knew the meaning of life
Would it make it harder to live?
If you knew the purpose of love
Would I have more of it to give?
See I don’t know these things
No I don’t know these things it’s true.
But if I knew these things, if I knew these things,
I’d surely share them with you
‘Cause you give me everything
and a little, a little bit,
a little bit more
you give me everything
and a little, a little bit,
a little bit more than I can take.
More than I deserve baby.

Do you wanna’ start over?
By Milan Perkins + The Milano Express
You don’t know, where you’re coming from,
You don’t know, where you’re going to,
So let’s solve, this mystery
Even though, we’ve only got one clue
So let’s start, with the last thing you remember
And let’s find the point, where your life left the track
‘Cause this time, is a fire then a dying ember
And you know damned well, that you can never get it back
Do you wanna’ start over?
You don’t know, where you’re coming from
You don’t know, where you’re going to,
You take a photograph, so you can see the places
To keep a memory of all the smiling faces
Do you wanna’ start over?
Don’t listen to a word of what they say,
You have to admit that you lost your way
And you wanna’ run away,
But you wanna’ run away,
But you want another day-hey.
You want another day.
