1.	Millions Of People 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Millions of people in love Rising like particles of dust High above the two of us Millions of people Millions of people in pain Falling like little drops of rain All alone and all the same Millions of people Millions of people in clouds Singing songs of hope and doubt Millions of people in my Life I turn to you now Millions of people like stars Living alone with battle scars All across the universe Millions of people Millions of people in flight Rising up just like butterflies Like Lucy in the sky Millions of people Millions of people in clouds Singing songs of hope and doubt Millions of people in my Life I turn to you now
2.	Sunny Side Of Town 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Here it’s always raining Yeah it’s always coming down The sun is swallowed up By the clouds Good hearts just keep breaking Good friends just keep falling down I look up to look To the ground Way-o-way I can’t find my way And I can’t turn around I’m goin’ to the sunny side of town There’s a wrapping on my window A tapping at my chamber door Darkness there And nothing more Everyone is angry here Everyone just puts you down The dogs all talk and the people They just growl Way-o-way I can’t find my way And I can’t turn around I’m goin’ to the sunny side of town
3.	New City 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Under the rocks under the ground Under the lights of Old Town Over my head up in the clouds I keep my eyes on you now And I know that you will be with me And I know that you will be with me Under a blanket by the sea Under lock, under key Around the corner up the stairs In the wind blown through your hair And I know that you will be with me And I know that you will be with me In my new city, new city My new city, new city Under the bushes, under the stars Under the lake there are no words If I could speak in foreign tongues And keep my eyes open And I know that you will be with me And I know that you will be with me In my new city, new city My new city, new city
4.	Blue October 04:35	lyrics	buy track
No ring on your finger No crown on your head The summer’s over; it’s getting colder Leaves are turning red It’s been a blue October A blue world There is no silver lining The clouds have all turned grey The rain is falling, all morning Carry you away Into a blue October A blue world A blue October A blue world Your heart is on the pavement Like a busted balloon You’re sitting like an elephant In the middle of the room So high, so high I know heaven I know heaven seems so high No princess in your tower No fish in the sea The road is muddy, everybody Slowing down to see A blue October A blue world No sunshine on your shoulder Shining through the trees You just get up and go to bed And get back up again It’s been a blue October A blue world A blue October A blue world
5.	The Worst Of Our Kind 04:10	lyrics	buy track
We are the worst of our kind and we know it We take what we find and we stow it We’re thieves in the night And we’re ready to fight For reasons we just can’t explain Reasons we just can’t explain Winding our way through the passes Cutting all our morning classes Standing in lines Swinging from vines And we don’t even know why we’re here We don’t even know why we’re here We’re turning away from the light Learning the ways of the night We’re turning away from the light Learning the ways of the night We speak with our usual crassness Our cruelty carefully practiced We’re drawing a line In this shoal of time And we’re coming to take you away Coming to take you away We scrape what we can from the bottom Our gains have all been ill begotten My memory strays To a bright summer day We were coming in out of the rain Coming in out of the rain We’re turning away from the light Learning the ways of the night We’re turning away from the light Learning the ways of the night We’re coming in out of the rain We’re coming in out of the rain We’re coming in out of the rain We’re coming in out of the rain
6.	It Is The Rain 02:23	lyrics	buy track
It is the rain that makes the flowers Makes the flowers, don’t you know? It is the rain that makes the flowers Makes the pretty flowers grow Oh oh just a little bit of sunshine Oh oh just a little bit of You on my mind It is the sun that makes the shadows Makes the shadows, don’t you know? It is the sun that makes the shadows Makes the evening shadows grow Oh oh just a little bit of sunshine Oh oh just a little bit of You on my mind You on my mind Just like the stars who keep dark hours I keep dark hours don’t you know Just like the stars who keep dark hours I keep dark hours, for to glow, oh oh Oh oh just a little bit of sunshine Oh oh just a little bit of You on my mind You on my mind You on my mind
7.	Kings From Italy 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Oh how happy we should be Living like kings from Italy Oh how happy we should be Alive and running free But oh no you just can’t let it go Oh no you just can’t let it go Move on down the road The ase it has gone cold But you just can’t let it go Oh how happy we should be Swinging like monkeys from a rubber tree Oh how happy we should be Praise the lord for the life we lead But oh no you just can’t let it go Oh no you just can’t let it go Move on down the road The case it has gone cold But you just can’t let it go Darkness is a blanket that comes over I can’t find my way though it is plain to see To everyone but me But oh no you just can’t let it go Oh no you just can’t let it go Move on down the road The case it has gone cold But you just can’t let it go Why can’t you just let it go?

Kids from Queens in leather jackets On their ATVs Kids from Queens in leather jackets Holding onto the seat High up in heaven High up in heaven I’ll ride High up in heaven High up in heaven tonight Kids on skis in California Coming down through the trees Kids on skis in California Holding onto their knees High up in heaven High up in heaven I’ll ride High up in heaven High up in heaven tonight
9.	All I Really Want 02:20	lyrics	buy track
Nothin’, Nothin’ Nothin’ really matters at all Cause all I really want is your love Lonely, Lonely I’ve been oh so lonely And all I really want is your love High as a mountain Bright as the day Sure as heaven above Money, money We might never have much But all I really want is your love High as a mountain Bright as the day Sure as heaven above Maybe, maybe Maybe I’m asking too much But all I really want is your love

I, I am the key Turning, turning, turning Opening I, I am the wheel Rolling, rolling, rolling Never still I’m out of my mind I, I am the bee Working, working, working Tirelessly I, I am the street Winding, winding, winding Serpentine I’m out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind I have no means to make things right I am of the stars I am of the sea I am the rolling hill The ocean breeze Put me in your words Put me in your dreams Take me to your places Set me free I, I am the dog Running, running, running In circles I, I am the steam Rising, rising, rising Covering I’m out of my mind Out of my mind Out of my mind I have no means to make things right I am of the stars I am of the sea I am the rolling hill The ocean breeze Put me in your words Put me in your dreams Take me to your places Set me free I am of the stars I am of the sea I am the rolling hill The ocean breeze Put me in your songs Put me in your dreams Take me to your places Set me free
11.	Learning What It Is To Be Free 02:44	lyrics	buy track
Swimming under that green lagoon Under the swelling of the moon We went up we went down We crawled out and looked around And we’re learning what it is to be free Then we learned to love the sun Filling our lungs with oxygen We tried to touch the sky From the mountains that we climbed And we’re learning what it is to be free Flying in our aeroplanes High above the river Seine Over the ocean to the coast You're the girl I love the most And I’m learning what it is to be free Now I look up to the stars And I wonder where you are How I wish that you were here And I miss you so my dear I’m learning what it is to be free Floating in a rocket ship A million miles from that swim The galaxy is wide And I hope someday to find You I’m learning what it is to be free And I’m learning what it is to be free And I’m learning what it is to be free
12.	Flying Cowboys 02:14	lyrics	buy track
Flying cowboys in their small planes Wild horses in the southbound lane Roll the wagon over the bridge Now you know what heaven is Old brown boxes and they’re all filled up With pictures of the two of us Holding hands high up on the ridge Now you know what heaven is All the good children read between the lines Always and ever All the good children know the reasons why Always and ever Always and ever So long may you ride Standing alone in this darkened room Holding the candles for the bride and groom No magic carpet can cover this Now you know what heaven is Now you know what heaven is Now you know what heaven is

about

The Successful Failures Trenton, New Jersey

"The first thing you should know about The Successful Failures is that any attempt to plug them into one genre or another is very much a fool’s errand. Hailing from Trenton, N.J., the band deftly combines Americana, Pop, Rock, and enough of a dusting of Bluegrass that serves as an appetizer to the main course without overwhelming the entire meal." - July 2020, Rock is the New Roll ... more
