ANOTHER DIRECTION
Words & Music by Barry Michael
As I stand here tearing out my heart and think of all the things that drove us apart
The plates are all smashed and the house is in a mess
While you stand there in your daddy’s arms I’m starting to forget about your charms
And the way that you looked in that beautiful wedding dress
-----------------
‘Cos you’ve made decisions about your life, I don’t need no bitch for a wife
(CHORUS)
So I’ll find myself in another direction change my life make another selection
I’ll be gone before your tears have a chance to dry , yes I will
I’m gonna head right out in another direction hide my heart get a bit of protection
I’m getting old and I’m way to tired to cry – (take it from me baby)
--------------
Well I’ll admit there were times I got pissed but you were a devil with a vipers kiss
And I never saw those things I missed before
And I never ever thought it could be true even with all those things you threw
But our life ended when you started slamming doors
-----------------
We’ve been stumbling through these clouds the sun is out but I don’t feel proud
(CHORUS)
There was a time ,when we were in love we were together, and baby you were my blood
we said forever ,that our burning love would shine, but darling now I find
That I cry for you, I used to want to lie for you , Id’e tear apart the sky for you
Darling tear out my soul darling take it take it take it come on and take it yeah
--- Instrumental---
Now we’ve been stumbling through these clouds the sun is out but I don’t feel proud
(CHORUS)

LET’S WASTE SOME TIME
Words & Music by Barry Michael
Give me a reason, I’ll give you more, that we should stay here relaxing indoors
The week is behind us so let’s just leave it there
You pour the coffee, I’ll make the toast, have I told you lately I love you the most
It’s just gone noon but we don’t really care
------------
Six days we’ve been working hard, but Sunday is ours
(CHORUS)
Its true we’ve got nothing we have to do, in my arms I’m holding you
Let’s waste some time
---------------
Sunday papers strewn on the floor, the bed’s messed up but that’s what it’s for
We should be grateful we both get one day free
Come on darling, hop in bed, don’t let any chores enter your pretty head
I’ll read you the paper or we can watch TV
-------------
We both have so little time, Sunday is ours
(CHORUS)
I really want to tell you this, you are my favourite company
--Instrumental---
Six days we’ve been working hard, but Sunday is ours
(CHORUS x 2)

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”
