1.	Affogato 04:04	lyrics	buy track
I was sitting in a cafe in Roman Road, When all of a sudden, an aroma rose! Tongues licked lips without respite, Teeth swoooned dreaming of just one bite.. OH! It was a crazy sight! Chorus: I won't forget you, Sweet Affogato- Down the river of love we sailed In your glass bateau! Who could forget you, Sweet Affogato! I'll drink up all your mystery With a bit of gateau. Verse 2: A storm broke out, We were soaked to the bone, I landed on an island, all alone! Sent smoke signals, got them all wrong, The scent of hyenas is really strong.. I hope that help doesn't take too long.. To pass the time I will sing this song... Chorus... I won't forget you.. etc. Verse 3 The rescue plane exploded! Blew us to the moon! I shook of all the dust and then I asked for a spoon.. A chaotic voice said, "You speak too fast, Cutlery's a language of the past!" To my surprise, YOU sprang out of a glass! Affogato I am home at last! Chorus... I won't forget you.. etc
2.	Caffeine Lover 02:31	lyrics	buy track
VERSE 1 You got my heart racing down the street It went so quick it tripped over my feet They asked me why I was speeding again. I said, Just listen to me. I can explain. Chorus Caffeine lover kept me up all night Caffeine lover - you make it alright. Caffeine lover you’re too fast for me. But I’d rather drink you than decaf tea. VERSE 2 You got my brain buzzing out of my head I’ve lost my mind and I LIKE it, I said. I don’t feel empty and I don’t feel blue But when I get it back I want some words with you. Chorus Caffeine lover kept me up all night.. (etc) VERSE 3 You got my body out of the grave You said, "Well you’re alive, but you need to bathe..and It's time for breakfast in bed" And then I opened my mouth, and I said… Chorus Caffeine lover kept me up all night.. (etc)
3.	Don't Call Me Darling 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Don't call me Darling... 'Cos I'm not your Darling.. If I was your Darling, You'd know me well. But you don't even know my name! So just say, Hello. Don't be so difficult, 'Cos this isn't difficult. You made a mistake and, You don't want to know.. Why sulk when we could be friends? I guess, it's the end... Don't call me Darling... 'Cos I'm not your Darling.. If I was your Darling, You'd know me well. But you don't even know my name! So just say, Hello.
4.	Early One Morning 02:29	lyrics	buy track
Early one morning, Just as the sun was rising, I heard you calling, In the valley below. Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me! How could you treat A poor me like so...
5.	Tira Misu 03:54	lyrics	buy track
That night we had some Tira Misu, We were deep in the woods with some cats.. MIAOW! When all of a sudden, HE appears! And I'm like, Hell! What's that?! At first, we tried to put him back But he wasn't having any of that, And then he tried to push us in, But none of us could swim... One-Two-Three Chorus: Let's get married Tira Misu, I don't like coffee, but I love you, Don't break my heart in two! I'll be forever true... He said, Now listen to me well, I'm more than a dessert! And if you try those other treats, Well that would really hurt! We went for a walk in the park, With dinosaurs in the dark, ROARRRR We danced our way to Spain and back, We painted everything gold and black.... One-Two-Three Chorus: Let's get married Tira Misu, I don't like coffee, but I love you, Don't break my heart in two! I'll be forever true... We lasted just three short weeks, My Tira Misu and I. Came back from work one night, His note just said, GOODBYE/AU REVOIR/ BYE! At first we tried to get him back, But he wasn't having any of that. And then he tried to push us in, And that was when I learnt to swim... One-Two-Three... Chorus: Let's get married Tira Misu, I don't like coffee, but I love you, Don't break my heart in two! I'll be forever true...
