All About Them Words and Music: Carolyn-Fe Trinidad & Timothy Alleyne ©May 28, 2014, Montreal, Canada Who's that man in the corner of your mind? Walkin' down the street with the girl by his side His smile looks right when he gives you a little wink Who cares babe, you know it's a win. Pink Cadillac, white wall tires, he's oh so smooth Wing tipped jacks and all them gas Smooth as silk, he's way ahead, he lights his cigarette And ooh baby, you know he's there Who's that girl at the bus stop over there? Curly hair, wind-swept skirt Sweet red lips come and get your tricks Who cares babe, you know it's a win Pink Cadillac, white wall tires, she's oh so smooth Flowered veil and hair in the wind Smooth as silk, she's way ahead She lights her cigarette And ooh baby, you know she's there Pink Cadillac, white wall tires, they're oh so smooth Wing tipped jacks and hair in the wind Smooth as silk, they're way ahead They light their cigarettes And ooh baby, you know they're there

Kitty Cat Words and Music: Carolyn-Fe Trinidad & Oisin Little, Timothy Alleyne, Dan Legault ©May 28, 2014, Montreal, Canada Kitty Kat sittin' on a bough Lemme hear you meow, meow, meow Layin' back filin' your nails Gettin' ready to scratch them scales Kitty Kat sittin' on a stool Watch your prey by the pool Flick your tail by the wind In a wink you got him pinned Kitty Kat sittin' on a ledge Better watch the razor's edge Time is out without a doubt Big bad snake will snuff you out Kitty cat drink your milk Smooth and white and just like silk A little stretch you're off to bed Not a worry in your head CHORUS Walkin' around stiletto heels Got no worries for your meals You always leave (some meat) behind A wink, a smile, and peace of mind Kitty Kat wailing away Mama's here come what may Pretty paws, lick your lips A tippy toe, you swing your hips Kitty Kat give him a nudge Baby Tabby make him budge Sittin' pretty all day long Make him dizzy with your song

Bad Taboo Words and Music: Carolyn-Fe Trinidad & Oisin Little ©May 28, 2014, Montreal, Canada Why wait it out in the rain Cryin' over spilt champagne Look what you made me do Now I'm cryin' over you Can you see what you've done to me I think you'd have to agree You've hung me on the Judas Tree It's only now that I can see CHORUS I didn't want the sky so blue, I didn't need to start anew I didn't want to look at you, and now you're a bad taboo We weren't on the same page, not even a word exchanged You're not just passing through, you're just another bad taboo Your fanciful repartee Charmed them all but I must say It's only good, but for a day You can go, just go away You faded smile turns to blue When no one else looks at you I don't want to go that way This isn't just another day

Goodbye Words and Music: Carolyn-Fe Trinidad & Oisin Little ©May 28, 2014, Montreal, Canada What is this secret you've been hiding that I've found The words were stolen but not without a sound My sights were far when all I needed was to turn around But now you're gone These priceless moments that were promised for a day Those tender looks that were shared but not replayed The consequence of a minute lot too soon A whole day gone in one afternoon Why did you break the spell Goodbyes can never tell Why did you break the spell Goodbyes can never tell

Bad Thing Words and Music: Carolyn-Fe Trinidad & Oisin Little ©May 28, 2014, Montreal, Canada I did a bad thing baby I did a bad thing baby My past is catching up with me It's been playing on my mind It's been messing with my sleep I didn't mean to get you worried But this secret's getting harder to keep I did a bad thing baby It was a long time ago Wasn't like a big deal back then Like a debt I didn't owe But now a storm is brewing baby and there's something you gotta know I did a bad thing baby I'm going to have to pay the price Even though it's been so long Since I strayed across the line Can't deny I went wrong Put the blame on bad advice CHORUS Don't talk to no strangers Don't answer the phone Pull the blinds on the windows And stay at home I did a bad thing baby I really must confess I wanna be the one that tells you Don't find out from no one else I did a bad thing, baby You know I did a bad thing, baby I hope you can forgive me, darlin' 'cause I did a bad thing, baby Just a bad thing Tried to cover my tracks It was a bad thing Just a bad thing It was soooooooo - bad

Not Anymore Words and Music: Carolyn-Fe Trinidad & Oisin Little ©May 28, 2014, Montreal, Canada A closet full of designer clothes – Not anymore, not anymore Didn't matter what he owed, I got it all - Not anymore, not anymore Diamonds, jewels and fancy cars, there ain't no stoppin' my man He loved me good like no other could, and then he started over again Comes home late, smellin' like sin - Not anymore, not anymore Drunk as a skunk, won't say where he's been - Not anymore, not anymore I dug around and look what I found, a swarm of nasty harems all over town I didn't know he was up to no good, the devil told me I got nothin' to lose I use to hate the girls that fell for his charms - Not anymore, not anymore Lustin' after him without any qualms - Not anymore, not anymore I found out they were just like me all broken-hearted in misery I heard the stories they were all the same, ruined lives and one man to blame I used to think he can walk all over me - Not anymore, not anymore Treated me like dirt and got away scot-free - Not anymore, not anymore I felt the gun in my right hand I cut him down, let the devil be damned I saw the guilt deep within his eyes I got all these fine women for my alibi Not anymore, not anymore - Not anymore, not anymore I ain't gonna take this bullshhhh anymore Not anymore, not anymore - Not anymore, not anymore I ain't gonna take this bullshhhh anymore Not anymore, not anymore - Not anymore, not anymore I ain't gonna take this bullshhhh anymore Not anymore, not anymore - Not anymore, not anymore I ain't gonna take this bullshhhh anymore

Watching You Words and Music: Carolyn-Fe Trinidad & Oisin Little ©May 28, 2014, Montreal, Canada I've been watching you Tryin' to figure out what you're gonna do Hoping for signs that you love's still mine I think I'm losing you I've been thinkin' of you Goin' to places we've been to Searching for clues that it can't be true I think I'm losing you CHORUS It's not an easy thing, hidin' in the rain Peeking through keyholes, stifling the pain When friends all claim that I'm insane and it's just hearsay I recognize the signs; you're pulling down the blinds I can't see inside, what’s wrong What's on your mind? I've been crying for you Tryin' to ease this pain and doom There ain't no clues but I know it's true I think I'm losing you CHORUS

Not Worth The Show Words and Music: Carolyn-Fe Trinidad & Dan Legault ©May 28, 2014, Montreal, Canada I like the way you push, just like the way I pull We're going through the motions just to let go The way you walk your talk, I see you talk your walk No matter how you try, you're not gonna fly I got a little secret, nobody knows In by pocket, it'll never show One fine day, you come my way Up through the alley and down that nasty road The man upstairs took notice, climbed down his throne Hung up your dirty soul and took the controls I got a little secret, nobody knows In by pocket, it'll never show CHORUS I got you card now baby, it's in the hole You're beat and dead, Honey, you don't even know Straight aces ain't your game, you've gone too low I forgot your name now, Mister, you're not worth the show Your silly white lies, don't take the shine You think you're sittin pretty all of the time You're gettin' numb and stupid, you're simple mind's been looted It's a cryin' shame, Babe but I know your game I got a little secret, nobody knows In by pocket, it'll never show CHORUS You're not worth the show
