Joy to the World (I Guess)
It’s only weeks away New Year’s coming fast
Writing resolutions we know will never last
Listen more, talk less
Joy to the world I guess
Jimmy Stewart says he’ll lasso the moon
Popcorn’s almost done we’ll both be crying soon
Laugh more, fight less
Joy to the world I guess
Happy whatever
Merry you and I
Let’s celebrate together tonight
Folks are getting drunk bite your tounge and smile
After auld lang syne you wont see them for a while
Give more, ask less
Joy to the world I guess
Happy whatever
Merry you and I
Let’s celebrate together tonight
Holiday’s are hard missing those who’ve gone
They hide in snowy shadows in the moonlight on the lawn
We try out best
Joy to the world, Joy to the word I guess
Happy whatever
Merry you and I
Let’s celebrate together tonight
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and auld lang syne

Bad Medicine
Hands on the wheel watched the traffic move
Ran it over and over again in your head
Find time on your own while the city sleeps
History lifting like cobblestones
Argument played through a megaphone
She led ,you followed, you left her, you coward
Parked up where you could see the Clydeport crane
Ran it over and over again in your head
You hope that your thoughts and the world will end
Or swallowed by the river you’ll be pushed out to sea
Pride makes us do stupid things
It’s unkind bad medicine
Hands on the wheel watched the traffic move
Ran it over and over again in your head
Every word that you said was a fiction, Backed up in anger
And why are you here in car by the river
No closer to being forgiven
Pride makes us do stupid things
It’s unkind bad medicine
Parked up where you could see the Clydeport crane
Ran it over and over again in your head
And you know that you shouldn’t say those things
But you did and you can’t take them back
Pride makes us do stupid things
It’s unkind bad medicine

Kilimanjaro
We said we’d climb Kilimanjaro
Send our postcards from the top
No compromise, beg steal or borrow
Never stop, never stop, no
We said we fly to New York City
Climb the height of the Empire State
From the bow of the Long Island ferry
Fade away, fade away
Older than we look
Younger than we’ll ever be again
Time is all it took
In the end
We’re gonna get a 15 year mortgage
Once your boss get’s his head out of his ass
With a little luck we’ll have a couple of babies
The days are long but by the years go fast
CHORUS
Smiling big in New York City
In a photo framed upon out daughter’s wall
She scattered us on Kilimanjaro
It took a while but we got there after all
CHORUS

Option to Buy
Everyone kicks the tyres
Everyone samples the goods
Some folks even start
With the last page of the book
So what’s with all the rush
To get that old knot tied
When we can always rent
With the option to buy
You’ve ate that piece of fruit
Took it and never paid
You scored a second scoop
While the manager’s away
You don’t have to worry
Let me tell you why
You can always rent
with the option to buy
They say the best things in life are free
So why oh why would you marry me
A rolling contract not tied in
We’ll be just as happy living in sin
The Ball’s not too heavy
The chain’s not too tight
We can always rent
With the option to buy
You would if you could don’t lie
Let me tell you why
We can always rent
With the option to buy

Filthy Jokes
Your Mom and Dad were happy and frankly so was I
You’d live alone forever TV dinners till you die
So last night when you told me I swear I almost choked
Sounds like finally you’ve found someone
To laugh at all your filthy, filthy jokes
It’s great to see you glowing contented to the bone
Dripping with affection your heart has found its home
Now the bells are ringing You’ve bought a gown and coat
Finally you’ve found someone
To laugh at all your filthy filthy jokes
The one about the pilot, the one about the cat
Don’t even get me started on those damned aristocrats
I guess we learned our lesson of course you came around
You just needed practice with every girl in town
Now our prayers are answered and with this one last stroke
Finally you’ve found someone
You locked it down you proved us wrong
I can’t believe I wrote this song, everybody sing along
Finally you ‘ve found someone
To laugh at all your filthy filthy jokes

Loebe & Napier Austin, Texas
Rebecca Loebe and Findlay Napier met on a songwriting retreat in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. "Sometimes when you get thrown into a co-write sessions things just click." Says Napier, "This was one of those times." Over the last 18 months they have written together down the line from Loebe's base in Austin, Texas and in Findlay's Glasgow flat when Rebecca was touring the UK. ... more
