I AM YOUR SKY I’m the dog outside your milk bar I’m the Ray Ban’s for your shade I’m the sun that’s on your shoulders On a brilliant summer day I’m the road stretched out before you When you drive down the coast I’m the radio that’s blastin’ out that song you love the most ------------------------ I’m a full weekend of shopping Where everything just fits I’m ya credit card when the sales are on I’m the dress that hides your hips The new shoes you look so good in As you walk down the street I’m the coffee that is waiting I’m the one you’ve come to meet. --------------------- Think of me whenever you’re low, I’ll raise your spirits high – I AM YOUR SKY. --------------------------- I’m the bird’s that sing above you And fill your heart with song I’m the present that is just for you When Christmas comes along I’m the cloud that floats across the sky And watches over you I’m the list that holds the million thousand things You have to do. -------------------------------------- Way up here above the world, You and I will glide – I AM YOUR SKY --------------**********************--------------------- When you take my hand You will understand – as we drift higher and higher Every thing is clear In the atmosphere - flying --------------INSTRAMENTAL-------------------- I’m a summer night descending When you think you’re alone I’m a clear lane on the freeway As you make your way home The stars that shine above you All hanging by a thread I’m the dream’s that entertain you As you float in your bed. ------------------------------- As we drift above the clouds Our love will lift us high – I AM YOUR SKY. I AM YOUR SKY – I AM YOUR SKY. (Flying, You and I flying) All Words & Music by Barry Michael. © & ℗ 2012

Gone,Gone,Gone I met a lot of women, but never one like you. I mean it in a good way, with all the things you do. -------------------------- I was lost and lonely, stumbling around. But this city changed the day, you strolled into town. ---------------------------- **Now I have found what I’m looking for…. (Don’t ya know that) ------------CHORUS-------------------- Baby when you move that way, when you start to swing & sway Every day’s a Saturday (Holliday) and I’m Gone Gone Gone, Little darlin’ you’re to blame, turn the flicker to a flame, Things will never be the same ‘cos I’m Gone Gone Gone ------------------------ You’re a hot Volcano, I know that for sure, Cos when you get me home at night, I see you lock the door --------------------------- It’s not to stop folks coming in, I know what its about, When you release you’re wild thing, it stops me getting out. ------------------------------- **Now I know I have now seen it all…………(Don’t ya know that) ----------------CHORUS--------------------- Hey! Everything about you, is just what I need Bring desert right home tonight, ‘cos daddy needs a feed (yeah) ++++++INSTRAMENTAL+++++++ **Now every thing is so crystal clear…. YEP. Baby when you move that way, when you start to swing & sway I think things I can not say ‘cos I’m Gone Gone Gone, Little darlin’ you’re to blame, Turn the flicker to a flame Things ‘ill never be the same, ‘cos I’m Gone Gone Gone, Gone Gone Gone WHEN YOU MOVE… WHEN YOU SWAY… EVERYDAY…. I’M GONE GONE Yeah I’m gone, oh yeah daddy’s gone…. yeah I’m Gone Gone Gone Gone Gone Here I go, I’m gone. Yeah yeah, ‘Cos I’m Gone Gone Gone.

I Don’t Understand Where I Fit In. Words & Music By Barry Michael ©℗ 1986 When I’m thinking of you, you’re thinking of him He’s thinking of me, Oh Baby, I don’t understand where I fit in. ------------------- And when I’m talking to you, you’re talking to him He’s talking to me, Oh baby I don’t understand where I fit in. ------------------ When we’re walking and we’re talking I can’t understand a word you say ‘cos, He’s always touching and interrupting He wants me to turn the other way ------------------ So I go crazy for you, you’re crazy for him He’s crazy for me makes me wounder ‘cos I don’t understand where I fit in. ------------------ It doesn’t matter what you say , it makes no difference anyway It’s just the lovely things you do that keep me chasing after you so baby ------------------- When I’m winking at you, you’re winking at him he’s winking at me, makes me nervous ‘cos I don’t understand where I fit in (Instrumental) Why don’t you realise, he only like’s guys He doesn’t want to go out with you now, I’ve got a headache and nothing to take, what are we gonna do. So don’t keep thinking of him, he’s thinking of me And I’m thinking of you, makes me wounder ‘cos I don’t understand, it’s so out of hand Because when I’m thinking of you, you’re thinking of him, he’s thinking of me Oh baby, I don’t understand where I fit in.

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU Have you ever met someone – And you knew right away There’s a strange connection – That words can’t convey Everything is easy and the, conversation flows Three hours fly right by, then it’s time to go ---------------- (You know), I drove through empty streets – You, filled my mind I felt sick and couldn’t sleep that night Guess all the signs say that this is right cos’ ---------------------------CHORUS------------------------------------ I have always loved you baby I have always------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The things that hold us close - Can never be seen Long chats and tender moments – secrets and caffeine Years tumble by so fast – Who knows where they go One things for certain honey - and this I know ------------------ (You know), Our world no one will ever, understand That’s never bothered me and you Now we’re together Honey we’ll get through cos’ ---------------------------CHORUS--------------------------------------- I have always loved you baby I have always loved you. ++++++++++++++++++++++ It doesn’t mean that you’re not on my mind When I forget a lot of things sometimes Don’t ever think, that I don’t love you more and more each day +++++++++++++++++++++++ INSTRAMENTAL No one has ever reached me - like you do You opened my heart and I cannot hide I’d run a thousand miles to your side cos’ -------------------------------CHORUS------------------------------------------ I have always loved you baby I have always loved you I have always loved you baby I have always loved you- yeah Don’t you know, You know it’s true, I have always loved you baby In my heart, always, always I have always loved you baby I have always loved you, It’s true.

They Do It All The Time 04:09
lyrics

THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME Well everybody’s got their point of view That’s ok as long as they don’t push it onto you If nothing else I’ve learnt one thing There’s no point picking up a guitar if there’s only one song to sing ---------------------- They think they know what’s good for me Why don’t they give it a rest man? But I’m not cooking up your recipe for happiness “cos what suits you is not the best for me. ================ But THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME. X2 ================ I hated every day I spent at school Humiliating slower kids, don’t tell me that’s not true You say teachers have to keep control But 12 years of history wont save you when you’re old -------------------------- This is the real world pick a card You’ve gotta stay on your toes girl I’d rather make mistakes and learn, than not make any Take a turn protect your independent mind ================== Cos THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME. (x2) =================== If there’s a brain inside your head Don’t fill it up with things they’ve said Just keep direction co s you’ll find… THAT THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME (Instrumental) They think they know what’s good for me Why don’t they give it a rest man? But I’m not cooking up your recipe for happiness “cos what suits you is not the best for me. But THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME. X2 Be aware of what they do every time they talk to you Just keep direction ‘cos you’ll find They do it all the time.

Barry Michael Melbourne, Australia

Reviews -Mark Demetrius (Rolling Stone Magazine
“ Barry doesn’t fit into any stylistic pigeonhole; He’s simply a superb singer-songwriter who can probably compose hook lines in his sleep. Like Loudon Wainwright III, he proves he’s no dork precisely by writing about dorkishness, loneliness and inadequacy. ‘Not Think Of You ‘ is a slow painful blues worthy of Billy Holiday, thats saying something” ... more
