YOU’RE TROUBLE written by Clayton Jeff Jeffries [c.1990]
V1
I used to love you
Lord, how I used to care
Thought the stars danced above you
Ooh, how I used to stare
But now I’ve opened my eyes
Chorus
You’re Trouble
Nothin’ but Trouble to me now
Trouble
You’re nothin’ but Trouble to me now
V2
Yeah, I adored you
Ooh, how I let you know
Smile and I’d reward you
Ooh, just how far could I go
Now I’ve opened my eyes
Chorus
V3
I used to worship
Ooh, my love was strong
You dug a hole where my heart’s kept
Ooh, to keep me strung along
But now I’ve opened my eyes
Chorus
Bridge
All that glitters was in my eyes
Kept me blind, kept me mesmerized
I wait for love, ain’t gonna come
I know, I know
I realize
Chorus
V4
Yeah, I used to love you
Ooh, how I’d lose my mind
Give my soul just to touch you
Lord, you were never kind
Now I’ve opened my eyes
Chorus
Chorus
Repeat

IN A WORLD OF THEIR OWN [Written by Clayton Jeff Jeffries c. 1985/2012]
V1
Young lovers love
Abandoned to the quest
As young lovers know
Their hearts never rest
And they don’t see me
IN A WORLD OF THEIR OWN
V2
I stand here in the street
With lovers all around
[I cry] “I want to be loved”
They never hear a sound
‘Cos they don’t see me
IN A WORLD OF THEIR OWN
Bridge
In a world of their own
There’s a world I can’t see
In a world of their own
There’s a world that they know
That’s not for me
To know
V3
And all lovers love
Forever lost in time
As all lovers know
In love we’re all blind
So they can’t see me
IN A WORLD OF THEIR OWN
So they can’t see me
IN A WORLD OF THEIR OWN
They can’t see me
IN A WORLD OF THEIR OWN

Kansas [Mirror Pt 1]
Words and music by Clayton Jeff Jeffries C. 1990 and 2013
Hot, close and wet
Feels like Kansas
The bus slices through the dark, liquid, night
A shark in an ocean of highway
In the distance the Gods clash
The sky lights with fury
The ground trembles in fear
But I ride to the Promise
The square peg flees the round hole
I ride to the Star Land
Away from this great, endless Same
I ride to the Glory
The Lights.
The Dream
This present becomes my Past
Now I ride to Hope
I ride to Hope
…To Hope
Last stop!
Hollywood, California
Land of schemes and dreams
Welcome to the hustle
Watch your step

THE MIRROR’S CRACK’D
Words and music by Clayton Jeff Jeffries [C. 1983]
V1
Silhouette reflections on the picture perfect scene
Lullabies on Broadway are not the perfect dream
I like pretty faces to--- seem what they seem
But Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Mirror’s Crack’d
V2
Camera line reflection split—nothing crisp and clean
Photogenic fantasies and celluloidal dreams
I like pretty faces to---jump up off the screen
But Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Mirrors Crack’d
BRIDGE [INST]
V3
Blown in town; kicked around, a trifle young and lean
Model eyes mesmerize: a perfect 17
I like pretty faces to--- seem what they seem
But Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Mirror’s Crack’d
V4
Getting down, look around, taken scene for scene
Lullabies on Broadway never what they seem
I like pretty faces to---seem what they seem
But Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Mirror’s Crack’d
BRIDGE
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hide away your schoolgirl dreams
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You’re starring as a Blue girl queen
And Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Mirror’s Crack’d
V5
Silhouette reflection on the picture perfect scene
Model eyes mesmerize something quite obscene
They love pretty faces who---get fucked on the screen
But Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Mirror’s Cracke’d
BRIDGE [END]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hide away those schoolgirl dreams
Oh, on, oh, oh
You’re starring as a Blue girl queen
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You’ll never get this new girl clean
And Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Mirror’s Crack’d
“I can never go back”, she said
The Mirror’s Cracked
“I can never go back”, she said
The Mirror’s Crack’d
“I can never go back”, she said
The Mirror’s Crack’d
The Mirror’s Crack’d
The Mirror’s Crack’d

STAND
Words and music/Clayton Jeff Jeffries [Jeff Dahl] [c. 1987 and 2008]
V1
Free as the wind, from sky to sky
Free as the time going by
Free as the tide, from shore to shore
Never stopping to see if the world agrees
It’s free
V2
Free as the sun, to light the day
Free as the children to play
Free as a dream, a world away
Never falling astray
At what the others say
CHORUS
Stand
Stand for the right to be free
Stand
Stand, stand, stand with me…
V3
Free as a bird, to fly away
Free as a new shiny day
Free as a cloud, to change in shape
Never stopping to see if the world agrees
It’s free
V4
Free as the laugh, that lights your day
Free as the feeling of play
Free as the sound, that makes you sway
Never stop to obey
What the others say
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Can’t lay in the road, can’t block up the door
Can’t stand in the way, can’t hide anymore
Don’t sit with your life in hand
Falling like a grain of sand
Through the cracks in time
It’s yours and mine to find
This time
[We’ll…]
Chorus
V3
Free from the chains, of binding creeds
Free from the walls I can’t see
Free from the thoughts [of] uncertainties
Never stopping to see, if the world agrees
I’m free
Chorus [3x]
