If Music be the Food of Love - New Album by Stephen Davis

It's Good Music.

Not the stuff you run across every day. It's music that you will actually enjoy listening to! A delightful blend of sweet and sour tunes with intricate lyrics and Chuck Norris-inspired martial arts, this album is sure to grace your home for years to come.

There once was a dude who was middle-named John
And apparently, he knew what was going on
He used to be cool, but everyone said
His darn good looks had got to his head

Now according to him he's still pretty rad
But his stellar appearance was kind of a fad
We fake disbelief at his muscle and brawn
But really his time is all gone. Poor John!
Stay There

So what did I miss
To have it turn out like this?
And you had me believe I was up there
Well I thought you meant
Something quite different
And somehow you convinced me you cared

Inside your group you can stay there
All the time
See if I care while I stay here without mine
I'll stay here without mine

So far so good
I did what I could
Now it's up to you to take the next step
Well I can't pretend
My patience won't end
I'm just really hoping you won't forget

I'm sure you've got all you wanted
I'm sure it's fine
To live a life that plays out that way all the time
Do you live like that all the time?

Inside your group you can stay there
All the time
See if I care while I stay here without mine
I can still survive without mine
What You Gave Away

I'll write it in the words, I love you
I'll tell it to the world as if we were immune
I'm working through the lies above you
Forgiveness takes the place of selfish anger soon

After all this time alone
Populated like a throne
When your heart was on display
Let's take back what you gave away

For every time you've tried, I have one
Presented with a chance to carefully reach and take
Don't think of where you've been; it's all done
Reliving your return, recovering your mistakes

After all this time alone
Populated like a throne
In a crowd you're on display
Let's take back what you gave away
What you gave away

If you're sinking again
Do you need a hand
To drag you to land?
You fell through the floor
But you kept finding more
You thought you'd understand

After all this time alone
Populated like a throne
When your heart was on display
Let's get back what you gave away
What you gave away
What you gave away
What you gave...
A Regime

Don't trust
Their words mislead you
Don't dream
The plans won't need you, baby
At least not this time
Don't lie
Your words have far too great a cost
Don't die
All that you gained would be lost

But not a minute that you earned
Was meant for you - how sad
Every letter that I burned
From me to you said

Don't give your life to me
I don't know how to spend it
Ah, this broken heart I see
I can't possibly mend it

Take half
There's just enough to go around
You laugh
To try to drown the ugly sound
For the last time
Don't know
What I'm up to, do you?
I'd show you
But you said you already knew

It's such a shame to leave this state
In loneliness and greed
So here's to hoping we create
The better life we need

But don't love me for my soul
It could change in an instant
Once was under my control
Now I'm raging against it

I always thought I loved you
I always thought I loved you
I always thought I loved you
But you loved me
Maybe you loved me

So I'm escaping this campaign
Before I lose my mind
Leave these autocrats to reign
And never look behind me
I'll never look behind me
My Food Girl

In a box
With a fox
Though he begs
I don't like green eggs
Baby you
You make the food
It's so fine
Like a wine

And I can't digest
How much you mean to me
My stomach's too full
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll be there with you
My food girl

You sauté
Minstronae
What the hey?
What you say? That's the way!
More than art
It's your heart
As you glaze
I'm amazed

And I can't express
How much I owe to you
My mouth is too full
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'll be there with you
My food girl
My food girl
Healthies

Here are some good reasons why you should buy
Healthy food, as opposed to the garbage in your grocery store
Like Twix, Kool-aid mix, candy sticks, sugar fix
Leaves you hungering for more
Lying on the floor once more

First take Rodney
He was quite the dude
Till he ate lots of processed food
Now he's always in a lousy mood
(And he's very rude)
His brother Bob
Who ate candy corn on the cob
Made him sick, made him sob
Made him lose his lucrative job

Well Bob and Rodney were brothers
But there were others
Who suffered a similar fate
With second-rate victuals on their plate

Like Twix, Kool-aid mix, candy sticks, sugar fix
Leaves you lying on the floor
Suffering and sore and poor

And you won't have much money!

Sam the sailor
He used to be my friend
Till our friendship came to an end
When he suddenly decided to send
Me some cake
It was full of Monosodium Glutamate
Which I really, really hate!
So I became irate

Yeah and here are some good reasons why you should buy
Healthy food as an alternative to the garbage in your grocery store
Like marshmallow fluff, cocoa puffs, sugar stuff
Leaves you stricken in your bed
With a serious head
Ache

So hear the story
Of Susianna Mae
She never had much to say
But she'd always say it in such a charming way
She'd say "Here. Here's some food. It's very good for you!"
And I'd eat it, because she was charming
So I grew tall and strong
And never had a long protracted illness
I found the goodness

Of tofu ice cream - what a dream
When compared to those dairy delights
Go down easy but they come back to bite
And you should try organic fruit, ginger root, eye of newt
It's the preference of kings
Leads you on to greater things
Mary Kate

My Mary Kate
It seems so late
But it's just lack of trust giving out
Mary Kate
So hard to wait
For the end of what never started out

So far, so long
It's always wrong
But you're my reason to press on
Pretend we're gone
Into the dawn
And we'll find that castle in the sky
And I'll show you how to fly

So Mary Kate
My steps are straight
And I'm not getting caught in their schemes
And Mary Kate
If I am great
It's your love that accomplishes our dreams

So far, so long
The curse is strong
But I find comfort in this song
Give me your hand
Here's what I've planned
We can bid our mortality goodbye
I can show you how to fly

This far along
It can't go wrong
We've found out reason to press on
I always knew
We could be great
My soul, I love you
How I love you
My soul, I love you Mary Kate

It's Good Music.

Thanks to...

John
