Lyrics
Here are some of the lyrics coined by Ashutosh...
Cupid-Close Don’t Count:
1st verse
Keep it simple Cupid.
My heart is kind of stupid.
I keep paying for your mistakes
I don't know why I do it.
Bridge
When it comes to me,
You got a history
Of being off the mark
And Robin Hood,
That's not so good
When you're aiming for the heart.
2nd verse
Keep it straight and narrow
When you release that arrow.
Aim for love, get me a dove
Not a hawk with an eye for sparrows.
3rd verse
Keep me right on time
Arrivin(g) at Cloud Nine.
Not too soon or late for my soul-mate
To find this heart of mine.
Bridge
When it comes to me,
You got a history
Of being off the mark
And Robin Hood,
That's not so good
When you're aiming for the heart.
Chorus
Let me get that last run,
Make the winning touch-down,
Do a lap with the chequered flag,
Cupid, "Close don't count!"
I SURVIVED THE STORM:
(1st Verse)
I’ve been through the fire
But I survived the storm
I’ve been prosecuted
Because I’m far from norm
I don’t apologize
For being who I am
And if some folks don’t like it
I couldn’t give a damn
(Hook)
When I think about
All the time I’ve spent
At the mercy of
A man who won’t relent
I still walked away
Back straight head unbent
Clinging to the knowledge
That I’m innocent
(2nd Verse)
I’ve been vilified
All throughout the world
Because they’ve made assumptions
And they’ve second –guessed
What my motives were
For doing things I shouldn’t
For learning from the streets
For being so bad
But I was just living
Trying to survive
I wonder what’s inside their heads
(Hook)
When I think about
All the time I’ve spent
At the mercy of
A man who won’t relent
I still walked away
Back straight head unbent
Clinging to the knowledge
That I’m innocent
(Bridge)
People take advantage
Of my generosity
Although I’m a person
It’s a target that they see
What I most despise
About all that I’ve been through
Is I’ve been compromised
For my loving point of view
(Hook)
When I think about
All the time I’ve spent
At the mercy of
A man who won’t relent
I still walked away
Back straight head unbent
Clinging to the knowledge
That I’m innocent
(3rd Verse)
My life’s stalled
But it won’t be stopped
They’ve tried to dethrone me
Yet I’m still King of those who want to survive
I’m not on the come back
Cos I haven’t gone nowhere
Ask all of my friends
Who have shown their love and care
(Hook)
When I think about
All the time I’ve spent
At the mercy of
A man who won’t relent
I still walked away
Back straight head unbent
Clinging to the knowledge
That I’m innocent
I walk away
Back straight head unbent
(Repeat last line 4 times and fade)
LIFE CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOU:
(Hook)
Life can make or break you
Aim for the sky
And despite what happens
Hold your head up high
(1st Verse)
I was out on the street
At an early age
Tryin to deal with it
And my pent-up rage
I was feelin helpless
And also I felt stuck
As far as I could see
No one gave a fuck
(2nd Verse)
Me and my Mom
Up against the world
Until my brothers came
Followed by the girl
There were five of us
Caught up in the mix
And then Mom decided
She would get a fix
(3rd Verse)
That began the whole oddessy
Of our gypsy life
With all of its misery
And the stress and strife
From one shelter to another
Then welfare hotels
Flew out of the other
Into the bowels of hell
(Hook)
Life can make or break you
Aim for the sky
And despite what happens
Hold your head up high
(4th Verse)
Starting with the Carter
We went on from there
Talkin ‘bout it now
Can even draw a tear
But I remember playin
Games of hide and seek
Down on the loving monster Street
(5th Verse)
The papers wrote a series
On our street
So they could give the outside world
A little inside peek
Crack was everywhere
So were the prostitutes
And the hypodermic needles
From the drugs that they would shoot
(6th Verse)
This was the environment
Up from which I grew
Yeah I had my share of trouble
But then so would you
(Hook)
Life can make or break you
Aim for the sky
And despite what happens
Hold your head up high
(8th Verse)
So we grew up with
None to little privacy
Doin in the open
What few would ever see
Other people doin
Because of shame or pride
A foreign concept to us
We never learned to hide
(9th Verse)
Finally when we got a place
That we could call our home
And Mom had gotten tired
Of bein on her own
She went out and got a man
We didn’t understand or like
Who beat her so constantly
I made him take a hike
(10th Verse)
Out of the third floor window
Is the place I threw him
He’s really lucky in a sense
That I chose not to do him
According to the judge
That shit was all my fault
And so I was convicted
Of criminal assault
(Hook)
Life can make or break you
Aim for the sky
And despite what happens
Hold your head up high
(11th Verse)
Call it what you want to
But I call it fate
You may not understand me
Because you can’t relate
To the things I’m saying
Or the life I lead
But I’m also human
Cut me and I’ll bleed
(12th Verse)
I’m not telling you this
To get your sympathy
Or trying to paint a picture
For everyone to see
I’m going to play my hand
Just the way that it gets dealt
I just thought I’d share with you
The way that my life felt
(Hook)
Life can make or break you
Aim for the sky
And despite what happens
Hold your head up high

Lyrics
I walk Alone:
I walk alone
On this empty road
The city is dead
It's all in my head
I walk alone
There's no one there
It's just a nightmare
Lifes so unkind
It's all in my mind
I walk alone
And now this person's here to save me
But do I want to be saved,
or do I want to keep wandering
Should I leave my little corner in the sky
and walk with someone else tonight
So many choices
All the little voices
Should I be led, by the voice in my head
Should I walk alone?
And should I go
With the person standing in the snow
Should I leave my little life
Should I take his advice
Should I walk alone
And now this person's here to save me
But do I want to be saved,
or do I want to keep wandering
Should I leave my little corner in the sky
and walk with someone else tonight
Should I stay alone with no one to get hurt by?
Should I leave my life and give this other one a try?
Should I leave my land, and go with him?
Should I stay where I stand, How can I win?
And now this person's here to save me,
But do I want to be saved, or do I want to keep wandering
Should I leave my little corner in the sky,
and walk with someone else tonight
LIFE IS COMPLICATED:
(1st Verse)
Life is complicated
Theres drama at every turn
But if you keep on living
In time you will learn
From your past mistakes
Whatever they might be
Im a prime example
And thats plain to see
(Hook)
Life is complicated
But consider the alternative
Im not giving up on life
I prefer to live
(2nd Verse)
I didnt have a childhood
Cos at an early age
I had to go to work
Performing on a stage
Maybe that explains
My arrested development
Or why Im like I am
Because of what that meant
(Hook)
Life is complicated
But consider the alternative
Im not giving up on life
I prefer to live
(Bridge)
Theres been speculation
Every step of the way
As to who I am
I know what they say
But they dont really know me
Like they think they do
They wouldnt say those things
If they only knew
(Hook)
Life is complicated
But consider the alternative
Im not giving up
I prefer to live
(3rd Verse)
Because they talk about me
Doesnt make it true
Despite outward appearances
They dont have a clue
They paint a picture
That is so distorted
But I remain amazed
At how many have bought it
(Hook)
Life is complicated
But consider the alternative
Im not giving up
I prefer to live
(Outro)
Life is complicated
Theres drama at every turn
But if you keep on living
In time you will learn
From your past mistakes
Whatever they might be
Im a prime example
And thats plain to see
LIVE YOUR DREAM (SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO):
(1st Verse)
Sometimes you have to
Abandon whats safe
To take the leap
And step out on faith
Sometimes you have to
Put fear aside
Press on the gas
And go for the ride
(Chorus)
It really isnt a mystery
Your dreams are what
You make them be
A passing thought or reality
(2nd Verse)
Sometimes you have to
Follow your heart
And not be stopped
Before you start
Sometimes you have to
Just take a chance
Step on the floor
And do the damn dance
(Bridge)
Sometimes you have to
Take a deep breath
Give it your all
And leave nothing left
Sometimes you have to
Go for broke
To have the last laugh
And prove youre no joke
(Chorus)
It really isnt a mystery
Your dreams are what
You make them be
A passing thought or reality
(3rd Verse)
Sometime you have to
Live your dream
No matter how
Far fetched it may seem
Sometimes you have to
Step off and let go
How else are you
Ever gonna know
(Chorus)
It really isnt a mystery
Your dreams are what
You make them be
A passing thought or reality
(Bridge)
Sometimes you have to
Take a deep breath
Give it your all
And leave nothing left
Sometimes you have to
Go for broke
To have the last laugh
And prove youre no joke
(Chorus)
It really isnt a mystery
Your dreams are what
You make them be
A passing thought or reality
(Outro)
Sometimes you have to
Abandon whats safe
To take the leap
And step out on faith
Sometimes you have to
Put fear aside
Press on the gas
And go for the ride
