Make you happy! - The Now Nows
If you want it I can get it if I got it you can have it
Everything I got is yours and baby all I want is you
To be happy
To be happy!
Whether it’s a little or a lot oh baby I’ll give it a shot
I’ll take it up right to the top I’ll sort it out for you
To be happy
To be happy!
It’s a sentimental role I’ve chosen
In the story of our life
Hell together we can mend what’s broken
Whether legs or hearts or minds
I’ll look you in the eyes and tell you why you shouldn’t cry
And then I’ll hold your hand and hope you understand that I am here for you
To make you happy
Are you happy?
I’ll take away your emptiness and fill it up with happiness
And hold it up against you till it fits
And then I will hold you and make you happy
It’s a kinda mental hole I’ve fallen down
I think they call it love (the stuff of life ...)
I don’t know cos I just can’t remember
Where I left my heart, wallet, keys or wine
I’m gonna make you happy all the time
I’m gonna make you …. Smile!
Life is just an accident a whim yet somehow succulent
And always better shared with two
That’s why I wrote this song for you
To make you happy
I hope you’re happy!
Together we can sing along or hum along whatever
We can whistle or wazoo along as long as I can be with you
And make you happy
It’s a fundamental point I’m pointing out
Elementary Dear it's love (the stuff of life)
I don't know but we can make it happen
With our heads and hearts, body-heat and minds
Sweetheart, let me make you smile!

Let Us Shine - The Now Nows
We’ve been good, we’ve been bad,We’ve been alright, we have played.
We have burned that midnight oil,We have shined - fed those flames.
Years have come and goneWe’ve shared a life; shed some tears.
I been good to you, you been good to me.Oh, baby please.I been good to you, you been good to me,Oh what will you do? Will you forgive me?
Make it right.Let us shine ...
Where there’s shadow there is light.Or so they say …
I’ve made promises, I’ve told lies,They all taste the same.
A guilty man is like a river dammed,Nowhere to go.
Whatever you decide, let me know,But please, don’t let me go!
I been good to you, you been good to me.Oh, baby please.I been good to you, you been good to me,Oh what will you do? Will you forgive me?Make it right. Let us shine.
I’ve gone and done that thing I said I’d never do.
Lost my way, betrayed you, can a sorry stop it hurting you?
Will you forgive me?
I been good to you, you been good to me.Oh, baby please.I been good to you, you been good to me,Oh what will you do? Will you forgive me?

We're All Gonna Die – The Now Nows
Life is a river we're all floating down
We're all in it together, though, strangely, all alone
But while you're in the water take a look around
The views are spectacular but in the end we all must drown
It's a bummer but it's fine
It's a bastard but it's life
And though it's all turning to shit I suspect it will still shine
In the morning it's bright
When it's dark, we know it's the night
And though it sucks, with a bit of lucks
You might make it through the night
But you're still gonna die
Floating down the river might seem like a lot of fun
It's certainly quite mystical, all the flirting that gets done
But while you may consider the river to be your friend
Remember it's a bitch, it's life – it'll get you in the end
It's a bugger but it's fine
It's a bastard but it's life
And though it's all turning to shit I suspect it will still shine
In the morning it's bright
When it's dark, we know it's the night
And though it sucks, with a bit of lucks
You might make it through the night
But you're still gonna die
We all must die and be forgotten
Cos life is cruel and, brother, death is rotten
See how the living all waste their breath
And see how those dying alone
Are the only ones who truly pray for the dead
Now I could warn you about the dangers
Those rapids and waterfalls
But this is just a nautical existential metaphor
So whether you're a sinner, a saint or in between
Free Will don't mean nothing when it's dragging you out to sea
