Well I've got nobody to dance with
I've got no boy to hold my hand
The sun goes down I'll take off my dressing gown
And reveal I'm a big girl now
Well I know this band I'm a pretty big fan
I've got a crush on the front man
But he's too old for me as it seems
My father would scream at the thought of him and me
I'm a little Stevie in search of a hive
I'm a dragon fly with a sting on my behind
Well I've got no man or money
I spent all my money on my car for running
I met someone in a lonely tavern
But it seems I just don't know where to grab him
Well I'm here all alone on this Friday night
Feeling sick and I'm rugged up oh so tight
No-one has called me and I don't think that's funny
I stare at the wall with disprin brandy and honey
I'm a little greeny in search of a hive
I'm a dragon fly with a sting on my behind
Got this band wrote their names in the sand
They’re a few riffs short of that rock and roll sound
But I crank up the living room stereo and I practice my windmills round and around
Til my housemates come they turn it down
When your a little Stevie well your lonely and hungry
Out of work sick of school, and you’re fresh out of love luck and money
But you feel it so strong that you put it on a song
And you get up on a stage and you sing it all the way
I'm a little Stevie in search of a hive
I'm a dragon fly with a sting on my behind
I'm a little Stevie in search of a hive
I'm a dragon fly with a sting on my behind

I'm gonna tell you that I'm not just your dog on a lead
I'm gonna tell you that you ain't got the upper hand no
Just because you haven't been in touch well I am gonna tell you
That it's not ok just to disappear now
Ooooo, I want you to feel
Ooooo, I want you to feel
I'm gonna tell you that I want you to feel like I do
I don't think it's OK no cause your the one who made all the moves
I'm gonna tell you that you made a big mistake
When you called my best friend and not me
Oooooo, I want you to feel
Oooooo, I want you to feel
Oooooo, I want you to feel
Oooooo, I want you to feel
Like I do x 7

Dear Daniel
You achieved absolute surprise when I peeped inside my little letter box to find
Dear Daniel I was wrong when I thought that you wouldn't reply
Cause you wrote back with an envelope of sunshine
Well it's funny how someone can bring you so much joy
And they may not even know they’re yours
Well I'm just happy that we met at all
Cause that's you for me and that's me for you, woah
Dear Grandma
Well I saw you as you were 17
In my bedroom where you danced just like a queen
Dear Grandma
You’re as happy as the eye can see
And my dear Grandpa sends a kiss from above to your cheek
Well it's funny how someone can bring you so much joy
And they may not even know they’re yours
Well I'm just happy that we met at all
Cause that's you for me and that's me for you, woah
Shoo be doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Shoo be doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Shoo be doo doo doo doo, doo be doo doo, be doo doo

Postcard For A Bookmark

I’ve never known you in the summer on those long hot summer days
And I've never known you in the morning with the sun upon your face
But I believe when you return those long days will come again
And we can stay in bed til midday when we've woken up at 10
And it's just like in that Lucksmiths song
And I realise it's you I've been missing all along
I miss those summer evenings playing guitar with Mitchy in the park
Man you should see us sitting, strumming in that itchy grass til it gets dark
And we'll be heading out but not before we've danced all around the living room
And I can't decide if you've come back too late or whether you've come back to soon
And it's just like in that Lucksmiths song
And I realise it's you I've been missing all along
There's a novel by my bed with a postcard for bookmark baby that's the one you sent
I just wanted you to know I get this special kind of sadness when I walk around the places we went and talked
She'd have to be a lot like you
So let's go dancing through some garden with bare feet to that music from the sky
And we can laugh at all the people as they walk and pass us by
I sometimes think that maybe everything seems bigger in my head
But then I think that I could fill the sea with all the things you've said
And it's just like in that Lucksmiths song
And I realise it's you I've been missing all along

Strong and Brave

The people you meet and the things they know
You call into life when you're ready to grow
So why did life suggest they meet
Why did he come into hers?
He's been a traveller and he's seen the world
But she's only just starting off with hers
He teaches her to be patient and brave
And he does this without saying a word
You just got to be strong and brave
And you just got to go your way
Cause you'll get there, oooo you'll get there
He runs on the rocks, he don't paddle too far
It drives them crazy cause they think he's lazy
But they don't see that this demonstrates
Just simply an alternative way
She looks up to him and think to herself 'man,
I'm gonna be like that some day'
You just got to be strong and brave
And you just got to go your way
Cause you'll get there, oooo you'll get there
She heard her voice as it floated it sound like an earth song, oh so loud
This one’s been through thick and thin
She had to change her way of living
She was blessed with an open mind and she could adapt to any human kind
Now everyday is a gift to her and she's just trying to spread the word
You just got to be strong and brave
And you just got to go your way
Cause you'll get their, oooo you'll get there
