Turnout
Words and Music ©2000 David Celia/SOCAN
Sittin’ down feelin’ shit about yesterday
Didn’t know it’d be me about to betray
Told myself I’d never give away
But it happened so fast it came to me today
You like the groove to lean back in your chair
As you stare at the fake blond curly hair
You’re pullin’ fast with your breathe held in so tight
You’re throwin’ it with all of your might
CH
I never thought it would turn out this way
I always thought it would turn out ok
This burning in my heart won’t go away
Just see me as I was, Yesterday
I like to groove with my funk-chop, he’s OK
He’d like to groove with his soul-mate, maybe someday
We like to learn hard, hit fast, grow slow, Mojo, I don’t know
You like the groove to lean back in your chair
As you stare at the fake blond curly hair
You’re pullin’ fast with your breathe held in so tight
You’re throwin’ it with all of your might
Solo
You like the groove to lean back in your chair
As you stare at the fake blond curly hair
You’re pullin’ fast with your breathe held in so tight
You’re throwin’ it with all of your might
CH (x2)
I never thought it would turn out this way
I always thought it would turn out ok
This burning in my heart won’t go away
Just see me as I was, Yesterday

Séverine
By David Celia
Séverine, Séverine
I met you in my dream
I'm sorry that i had to go
Just wanted you to know
That I'll miss you so
Séverine, when you sing
My face it starts to smile
All the while, you remain
In my dream
But just until the morning bell will ring, Séverine
Séverine, would you like to meet again
Yes I would with you my friend
I'll meet you up in space
It will be our special place
The stars will be our home

Wishful Thinking
By David Celia
Waiting for you
Is a hard thing to do
But it's harder to move on without you
Waiting for a break
Hoping we can make it
The kids are better off without this
When the time has come
And all the work is done
The fields are always open for the running
I know what I'm gonna do
If I ever get through to you
There won't be any time left for resentment
Waiting for a break
Hoping we can make it
The fields are always open for the running

I Tried
By David Celia
I tried to make you happy always
The only way I know
I tried to make you happy always
Got lost along the way somehow
It breaks me all apart
It makes me fall apart
It breaks me all apart
A needle in my heart
It took a while for the sedative to kick in my heart
It took a while for the sedative to kick in my heart
It took a while, but it sure gave me a kick start
And now I'm rolling home to you
It took a while for the sedative to kick in my heart
It took a whiley-while but now I'll play my part
It took a while, but it sure gave me a kick start
And now I'm rolling home to you

Sergio
By David Celia
Sergio never complains
they think he's insane
They're always glad that he came
He knows the aim of the game,
think sun in the rain and there will be no pain
He's the guy you see out walking when you're driving in your car
He says hi, gets to talking
No one thinks he's up to par
But sometime later, if you remember
What he said to you before
You'll feel better, 'Cause he's opened up the door
He's here for you and me
He's there but nobody can see him
Sergio never complains
they think he's insane
They're always glad that he came
He knows the aim of the game,
think sun in the rain and there will be no pain
He wears a hat and has a moustache in a Zappa kind of way
His nose is holding cheap sunglasses
For those extra sunny days
Live for today, not for tomorrow
And siesta after play
All the best to everyone he always says
He used to drink from a forty ouncer bottle
Now those days are over
Betty Ford and the good lord gave him eyes to see how great he really is
Sergio never complains
they think he's insane
They're always glad that he came
He knows the aim of the game,
think sun in the rain and there will be no pain

I’m Not Texan
Written by David Celia©2008
Chorus #1:
I never really thought I’d write a country song
Or sing it with an accent in a southern drawl
I was born in the burb’s and started on Judas Priest
But we come in all forms and shapes and sizes,
Songwriters in thin disguises
Remember that we do it all for you
Chorus #2:
I never really thought I’d write a country song
Or sing it with an accent in a southern drawl
I was born in the city and started on Heavy Metal
But we come in all forms and shapes and sizes,
Songwriters in thin disguises
Remember that we do it all for you

Instant Puppy Love
Words and Music ©2000 David Celia/SOCAN
Verse #1
Inside-out I feel today, I don’t believe a word you say
I can’t believe the way you move has made me fall in love with you, It’s true
It’s true
The way you move has made me fall in love with you
I’m gonna close the door and sit right back as I throw you out of my mind
Verse #2
Outside in my car I drive, I almost nearly lost my life
The way your legs walked down the street, I missed the red by a couple of feet, Oh Boy
It’s true
The way you move has made me fall in love with you
I’m gonna close the door and sit right back as I throw you out of my mind
SOLO
Verse #3
Watch you as the light turns green, like something that I’ve never seen
I’ll tell you what I’d like to do is stop the time and do know who, Oh Boy!
It’s true
The way you move has made me fall in love with you
I’m gonna close the door and sit right back as I throw you out of my mind
I’m gonna sit right back and close the door as I throw you out of my mind

Crush
By David Celia
I had a crush on you
I planned my day around you
But I didn't know how to express it to you
I had a crush on you
When I was out I hoped that I'd see you
But I rarely ever did, So I imagined it instead in my head
And when I finally got to school
My heart would beat so fast, it wasn't cool
But I made it through the door, hardly ever realizing what we were there for
One day the teacher sat me next to you
My arms and legs didn't know what to do
But I sat there all year long, never telling you about this song
It felt so wrong
Your girlfriend wrote me a letter one day
It said that you would see me if I'd say
But I never ever did, 'Cause I was a shy and nervous kid
And it hasn't really changed that much
But I sometimes ask for what I want
And it comes

Bug's Apocalypse
By David Celia
Amber is the sap from which the ancient bigs were trapped
Within the system that they took part of
Like buildings or a tree they lived on
They were climning up the tree like you or me in an elevator
Finding food just like we make money
To buy things we like to play with after we eat, or sleep
And spend their time in an amber shell for thousands of years
We have succumbed to ponder upon this and drink our beers
So I sat down and I wrote these words but I had to sing them slowly
'Cause it coincides with the time it took for humans to discover bugs
And animals that were trapped inside the sap
That was running down a tree
So I wonder what it means
Why the bugs means something anymore
I guess the point is that we care enough to watch them frozen in their time
We pine over what they did and what they thought
Instead of noticing the things we do ourselves today
Restaurants, Barber shops, Vietnam, Bank machines
Mobile phones, solar eclipse
This is our apocalypse

Running out of Time By David Celia
You’re running out of time
Listen to me
Pick up the beat
It’s out on the street
So get on your feet
You’re running out of time
Listen to me
Pick up the beat
Ahhhhh
You’re running out of time
You’ve gotta open your eyes to see
That you share something
With everyone you meet
So get on your feet
You’re running out of time
Listen to me
Pick up the beat
Ahhhhh
You’re running out of time
Listen to me
Pick up the beat
It’s out on the street
Within innocent
Simplicity
Is the greatest form
Of Integrity

Life Is A Dream
By David Celia
When I was a child
In fields of grass I'd lie
You were always there for me
You were always there for me
Now tears fill my eyes
And the hairs on my arms rise
You were always there for me
Life is a dream
Now I close my eyes
And begin to realize
That your love it never ends, it forever sends
Life is a dream
