Dear Earth 05:04
Written by Mihali Dellaportas, Mick Jankovic, Daryl McKinlay, Yanni Dellaportas - Unreleased ©2008 Two Tails Publishing What are we doing? Not caring, desparing What are you trying to tell us? You’re speaking we’re not listening We’re fighting over you But we don’t see you It’s about you It’s about all of us too This is about me, about you It’s all the things you give me, forgive me Colors of green but we feel so blue Things we never think about Till it’s too late, Is it too late? Dear Earth, Dear Earth. We know we can’t change some things Turned our back on the future, forgotten the past We’ve travelled through time looking for answers We’ve travelled through space to return with more questions This is about me, about you It’s all the things you give me, forgive me Colors of green but we feel so blue Things we never think about Till it’s too late, Is it too late? Dear Earth, Dear Earth

Written by Mihali Dellaportas, Yanni Dellaportas Unreleased ©2008 Two Tails Publishing In your silence anyone can see you don’t believe We are being lulled into a quiet coma in the corner Out of mind into sight, It’s so good To be seen and not heard When the battlefield of the mind won’t keep your hands tied You know the snipers and the vipers will cut you in two Out of mind into sight, It’s so good To be seen and not heard It’s a season for no reason yea and you haven’t changed But somehow everything’s been re arranged, wo, ohh Anytime anywhere, you can move and still you’re there Out of mind into sight Anytime anywhere

Written by Mihali Dellaportas, Yanni Dellaportas from “Songs For The Festival” ©2008 Creepytoe Music A minor star if that’s what you are A subtle distinction lacking in conviction Only half moon yeah yeah yeah yeah Only half moon yeah yeah yeah Oh but the power and joy that you bring When I hear you sing sing sing Night is my favourite time away Night is my favourite time away Oh please wake me up I’m only dreaming Oh please wake me up again Oh please wake me up I’m going home Yeak yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah yeah Aah aah aah oh Tring hard so very hard To get back inside my head Cause everything begins and ends At the right time and the right place Oh please wake me up I’m only dreaming Oh please wake me up again Oh please wake me up I’m going home Yeah yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The Cave 04:40

Written by Mihali Dellaportas, Yanni Dellaportas from “Quiet Little Mouse” ©2005 Creepytoe Music and Newmarket Enemy is in again Old enemy is here Can you see All the things that I can see You’re not alone Anywhere you go The feeling grows and grows But know one really knows, no one ever knows You can see the signs You can read between the lines But there’s still No place for the soul to hide Heaven be my guide With nothing I can hide And nothing ever shows It’s like fear it grows

Undercover 04:04
Written by Mihali Dellaportas, Yanni Dellaportas from “Songs For The Festival” ©2008 Creepytoe Music At anytime they can pull the rug from under you Just for fun just to see your face It feels like you’ve been had so many times before So we thought you might just like a little more It’s undercover it’s not so mysterious now It’s undercover And if you try to run we’ll know where you are Anywhere you won’t go far Never will they know the difference when you’re gone But you’re a slippery little sucker It’s undercover it’s not so mysterious now It’s undercover The awful truth and the beautiful lie Just a little spy in the sky It feels like you’ve been had so many times before So we thought you might like a little more It’s undercover it’s not so mysterious now It’s undercover It’s undercover it’s not so mysterious now It’s undercover

Devil Bend 04:09
Written by Mihali Dellaportas, Yanni Dellaportas Unreleased©2004 Two Tails Publishing Ill wind carried on a breeze Too delicate to raise a sneeze Cows hide lazy Cyprus tree Singing this is where I can be, this where I should be Take a walk to Devil Bend Take a dive in forbidden water I watch the eagle play I leave only footprints and take nothing away Farmer Joe, dusty road, keepin’ flies out of your eyes Through the gate, watch for snakes, don’t worry ‘bout the signs Gotta read between the lines, gotta stop all of the lies Through the trees, over the hill, trying’ to find the water’s edge Skylark going to ground Where there was no sound Do I stay or turn around Is this where I can be? Is this where I should be? Is this where I can be? Is this where I should be? Farmer Joe, dusty road, keepin’ flies out of your eyes Through the gate, watch for snakes, don’t worry ‘bout the signs Gotta read between the lines, gotta stop all of the lies Through the trees, over the hill, trying’ to find the water’s edge

More of You 03:04
Written by Carlos and The Swifts Unreleased ©2008 Two Tails Publishing Every day is a new life Every day brings new strife I strive for nothing I got something, I got something, I got something. It’s the rainbow in the serpent A ring hanging from a pendent Who am I to ring the bell Who am I to show and tell, who am I to show and tell And I love you Always love you I adore you I want more and more of you Spaghetti curls on our lips It’s the ducky it’s the pits It’s an old man sometimes It’s in the weather in the rhymes, in the weather in the rhymes And I love you Always love you I adore you I want more and more of you I want more and more of you I want more and more of you

Free 03:31
Written by Mihali Dellaportas, Yanni Dellaportas From Quiet Little Mouse ©2005 Creepytoe Music & Newmarket I had a dream I saw the world from space It was blue and green I thought I saw the children And they were smiling back at me I heard your voice calling out to me It was sweet and clear And I thought I heard That song we were singing All through this life we’re waiting for a chance to see All through our lives we’re waiting for the right to be Free Free I saw your face your sadness made me cry Lines deep and clean Like a river through a forest Mmm All through this life we’re waiting for a chance to see All through our lives we’re waiting for the right to be Free Free

Written by Mihali Dellaportas, Mick Jankovic, Daryl McKinlay, Yanni Dellaportas - Single ©2008 Two Tails Publishing I wanna tell you a story Of a place where good folk live Where the water meets the sky And the wind she tells no lies I gazed out so many times Upon her beauty with no question why And the only thing breaking the silence Were the sounds of dolphins at play You have my heart You have my soul You have my heart Some things are changing before us Changing forever I see Now the Black Queen is here To poison the earth and the sea Don’t take my heart Don’t take my soul Don’t take my heart All we are saying is don’t do this to our home There’ll be a future if we choose not ignore, not to ignore The beautiful world we’re living in The beautiful world we’re living in The beautiful world we’re living in The beautiful world we’re living in
