LYRICS
Never Going Back - Larry Killip Copyright © 2007
Never going back
Don’t care what they say
I’m never going back
Come what may, I’m never going back
I’m sitting at the window looking out at the rain
My mother’s crying in the kitchen but I can’t feel her pain
So, I’m never going back,
Don’t care what they say
I’m never going back
Got my own judgement day
I’m never going back
Come what may, come what may
I’m never going back
I’m sitting at the window looking out at the rain
It’s a waterwall that keeps me safe from the storm outside the pane
It’s a town that I once lived in, full of pity and of shame
So, I’m never going back
Don’t care what they say
I’m never going back
Come what may, come what may
Never going back
Looking through a one way door
Never going back
To the way it was before
I’m sitting at the window looking out at the rain
I’ve loved it ever since, and I’ll drown in it’s domain
But I’m never going back,
Tell you that, tell you that,
Never going back
Solo
I’m sitting at the window looking out at the rain
My mother’s crying in the kitchen but I can’t feel her pain
So, I’m never going back,
Don’t care what they say
Never going back
Come what may, come what may
Never going back
To the way it was before
No never going back
Never going back
Never going back
Singing On A Rainy Day (Larry Killip © 2007)
On a rainy day my thoughts turn in, just one more gin and I’ll cry
Feeling melancholy and a whole lot sorry
For me, myself and I,
With guitar in hand, well I start my band
Pouring my heart out in songwritier land
Getting council in my own way
Singing on A rainy day
Lo de do, la de di
Singing with the rain and a hi de hi
The voice within is out
Escaped without a shout
And I don’t mind clouds of grey
While I’m singing on a rainy day
This couch is cheap but therapies deep as I sing what’s on my mind
‘bout love that’s lost and what it cost and back to a better time
If I lose the strum, well I’ll just hum
Feeling better as more of the lyrics come
My soul get’s to runaway
Singing on a rainy day
Lo de do, la de di
Singing with the rain and a hi de hi
The voice within is out
Escaped without a shout
And I don’t mind clouds of grey
While I’m singing on a rainy day
I’m happy here even with a tear on my face as I let go
It’s a healing hand, my one man band, just gotta let it flow
Lo de do, la de di
Singing with the rain and a hi de hi
The voice within is out
Escaped without a shout
And I don’t mind clouds of grey
While I’m singing on a rainy day
Blown all my cares away
It’s a healing hand, my one man band
Singing on a rainy day
Singing on a rainy……day
Waterfall (Larry Killip © 2007)
Waterfall, waterfall
Tell me your secrets, Waterfall
Took my love down to the waterfall
Such a fine sight to see
We talked away some hours making small talk
Then I turned the conversation to me
Said, I’m not sure about the way things are
Feels like we’re each on a different star
I don’t know how I could make it through
Without you
Waterfall,waterfall
Tell me your secrets, Waterfall
Took my love down to the waterfall
Such a fine sight to see
But sometimes there’s a feeling, she said and she sighed
Well, life holds another plan for me
Maybe even though we’re good lovers
We’re fated to become just friends
Well the twisting of the knife, in the back of my life
Never ends
Waterfall,waterfall
Tell me your secrets, Waterfall
Took my love down to the waterfall
Such a fine sight to see
The scene was serene and painted green
We cried then we set ourselves free
Waterfall,waterfall
Tell me your secrets, Waterfall
Tell me your secrets, Waterfall
I Wanna Be Free Larry Killip © 2007
I wanna be free
Like the restless wind
Like the stars that shine upon the sea of time
I wanna be gone,
Gone so far away
I wanna be gone so far away you cannot see
I wanna be free to see us
I wanna be free
To see what we really are
I wanna keep dreaming
I wanna keep dreaming wild
I wanna keep the sunlight softly shining through
Won’t you let it through
I wanna keep running
I wanna keep running till I meet the freedom child
I wanna be free to see us
I wanna be free
To see what we really are
Solo
I wanna be free
Like the restless wind
Like the stars that shine upon the sea of time
I wanna be gone,
Gone so far away
I wanna be gone so far away you cannot see
I wanna be free to see us
I wanna be free
To see what we really are
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
On The Wings Of Love Larry Killip © 2006
On the wings of love
It’s steady as she goes
She’s heading for a fall
And everybody knows
She’s been running blind
She’s the last to know
And everybody says
Better let her know
Until you fall apart
You’ll never learn the game
Of love and that’s a shame
Takes a broken heart
To make a brand new start
Put you on top again
Cos that’s the way it is
That’s the way it goes
The sun will always shine
A flower always grows
She’s thinking that it’s time
Her world was at an end
She doesn’t see the rainbow
It’s just around the bend
Until you fall apart
You’ll never learn the game
Of love and that’s a shame
Takes a broken heart
To make a brand new start
Put you on top again
Sax solo
No it isn’t easy
It’s sometimes hard to tell
Is this really heaven
Or did you visit hell
You wake up in the morning
Everything is spring
It’s relatively painless
You didn’t feel a thing
On the count of three
Just before the hour
Of dawn in the moonlight
You step into the shower
And sing a mean tune kid
that nobody knows
you’re another day older
and you can’t touch your toes
Until you fall apart
You’ll never learn the game
Of love and that’s a shame
Takes a broken heart
To make a brand new start
Put you on top again
That’s the way it is
That’s the way it goes
You think you’ve got it made
Until the whistle blows
On the wings of love
It’s steady as she goes
It’s never cut and dried
It’s like a river flows
She’s been running blind
She’s the last to know
And everybody says
Better let her know
That’s the way it is
That’s the way it goes
You think you’ve got it made…

Oh Moya - Larry Killip © 2007
Oh Moya,
You been cryin all night long
Oh Moya
Where did it all go wrong
In the cold light of morning
When you’re still a shade of blue
Will you find the door your looking for
And will you walk on through
Oh Moya
Don’t put your faith in man
Oh Moya
They’ll screw you when they can
I am your conscience talking
With words I will anoint
Try and paint a perfect saint
At least I’ll make a point
Oh Moya,
Your just going round and round
Oh Moya
You don’t know when up is down
In the cold light of morning
When you’re still a shade of blue
Will you find the door your looking for
And will you walk on through
She’s A Beauty (Larry Killip – 2006)
She’s a Beauty
Sparkles in the sun
A deeper Blue, 62
And she can do the ton
And she glides
Graceful as she rides
Paceful as she prides
Her beautiful brides
From Kennedy to Coldplay
Love me do to the Net
She’s had 40pounds of pressure
And petrol in her jet
If I’m up, she’ll know, and go with me around
If I’m down, she’ll know, and be heavy on the ground
She’s a beauty
There’s a heart inside that steel
Sure as every mile that ever slipped, beneath her chrome wire wheel
She shines
Shows her silverware
Children turn and stare
To look at what goes there
She’s a beauty
She’s a beauty
ELLAN VANNIN (trad - arr Larry Killip)
When the summer day is over and its busy cares have flown,
I sit beneath the starliight with a weary heart alone:
Then rises like a vision, sparling brigh in nature's glee,
My own dear Ellan Vannin with its green hills by the sea.
Then I hear the wavelets murmur as they kiss the fairy shore,
Then beneath the emerald waters sings the mermaid as of yore.
And the fair Isle shines with beauty as in youth it daned on me-
My own dear Ellan Vannin with its green hills by the sea
Then memories sweet and tender come like music's plaintive flow
Of the hearts in Ellan Vannin that loved me long ago;
And I give, with tears and blessings, my fondest thoughts to thee,
My own dear Ellan Vannin with its green hills by the sea
My own dear Ellan Vannin with its green hills by the sea.

Wella Wella Bella (Larry Killip) © 2007
Wella, wella, wella, Bella
Where’d you get those eyes
I think I’ve seen that smile
You’re the consumate child
Wella, wella, wella, Bella
A crazy world you’re in
But all the better for you
Cos only good shines through
And, we couldn’t do without you, no we couldn’t do without you little Bella
We all need a little hope, yes we need a little hope little Bella
And we’re waiting for the day, you might change the world
We’re waiting for the day that a little girl,
Makes the world wella,
Could be you little Bella
Wella, wella, wella, Bella
Where’d you get those eyes
I recognise that smile
You’re the consumate child
SOLO
And, we couldn’t do without you, no we couldn’t do without you little Bella
We all need a little hope, yes we need a little hope little Bella
We’re waiting for the day, you might change the world
We’re waiting for the day that a little girl,
Makes the world wella,
Could be you little Bella
Wella, wella, wella, Bella
A crazy world you’re in
But all the better for you
While you’re laughing too
While you’re laughing too
While you’re laughing too
