MOTHER MARGO (by S. Rogers)

Mother Margo stands before the flag
A copy of the gospel
In her designer bag
She believes in God above
Jesus' abiding love
But just for some
Mother Margo is an almost saint
If it weren't for her beliefs
She would be great
She can laugh and care and hold
Do the mother things as told
And strike a flame
Mother Margo
There's so much you don't know
Light another candle
Goodbye...to the long lost soul
I know I'm not alone when I believe
We often wish our loved ones
Showed up differently
It probably serves an awesome laugh
To whomever sends the
Family matches down
Mother Margo
There's so much you don't know
Light another candle
Goodbye...to the long lost soul
There are so many people who refuse
Who never want to put themselves
In other shoes
What if love replaced the fear
And compassion drew us nearer
To our hearts
Mother Margo
There's so much you don't know
Light another candle
Goodbye...to the long lost soul
Mother Margo stands before the flag
A copy of the gospel in her designer bag

SATISFIED (by Steph Rogers)

I had a lovely time
Cruising down the coast
In my Speedo outfit
Mexicali sunset
Though it’s all a lie
No one has to know it
I can almost taste that
Drink from a coconut

I don’t know
Why I had to
Live inside a lie
But I’m satisfied

Dreamboat George can’t know
My fake tan’s a prop
I’m in my apartment
Barely ever come out
For 11 years
I’ve let no one know it
I deceived them all
Even I believed it

I don’t know
Why I had to
Live inside a lie
But I’m satisfied

Every Christmas time
I take a little snorkle
Or a grand safari
You can do it also
Just read the web
Find a travel blog
Learn some foreign words
You don’t have to go out

I don’t know
Why I had to
Live inside a lie
But I’m satisfied

PAULA
Running for my life
Not looking a wife
I thought I’d wait wait...
To date again

But then she came along
So beautiful like this song
And sealed my fate fate
(It wasn’t too late)

When you never thought your life could start again
'Cause everything you knew before was sink or swim

I took her by the hand
Mara fell into the sand
And l thought uh-oh...
Where did she go

Wanted to sweep her off her feet
Not quite so literally
But then she came to...thankfully

Everything I knew before was compromise
Never thought I’d ever be so satisfied

Hey Paula just tell me what to do
You’re a most unusual unsuspected guru
Paula you’re stern and harsh and you are cruel
But Paula...I owe it all to you

We got to talking on a run
Hoping she wouldn’t bring it up
(But well, you know that Paula)
She cornered me and tried
To force me to abide
Until I gave in...she wouldn’t let up

Working on a marriage can be toil and strife
But Paula will drive ya crazy til you have a brand new wife
Hey Paula just tell me what to do
You’re a most unusual unsuspected guru
Paula you’re stern and harsh and you are cruel
But Paula...I owe it all to you
