Caroline’s Waiting music and lyrics copyright Bibi Farber 1998
In her bedroom
She runs to pick up the phone
It’s just another girlfriend this time
What’re you doing? Will you be coming along?
They’re going on at midnight
Honestly Caroline is flying
You put her onto the plane
In her kitchen
Your tape is playing again
12 songs go round and round and
you know the one where
you sing that you’re all alone
by yourself on Christmas?
Caroline stops her tears from falling It’s gonna be winter again
Caroline’s waiting she’s been sitting for hours
Maybe tonight she’ll try to say hello
She knows all your songs and she’s collecting your pictures
Planning your birthday and you don’t even know
He’s coming Caroline he’s coming…
In your bedroom you run to pick up the phone
It’s just another girlfriend this time
But where’s your baby?
She wants to see you again
Are you going home?
Caroline’s mother’s always saying
He’ll come back and see us again
Caroline’s waiting she’s been sitting for hours
Maybe tonight she’ll try to say hello
She knows all your songs and she’s collecting your pictures
Planning your birthday and you don’t even know
She’s been wanting to tell you
She’s already singing
Maybe she’ll play you that song
It runs in the family
But you’re still the genius when the chorus kicks in
You’ve got her pledging allegiance to your rock and roll hymns
He’s coming Caroline he’s coming

Shine music and lyrics by Bibi Farber copyright 1998
I feel most clean when covered in sweat
And most alive and most inspired
Always want more than I get
Trying to light just one more fire
But just like you said if it’s over and dead then get up get on
But just like you said if it’s over and dead then get up get on
With the living
My kalidescopes keep burning
I’ll stick to candles now instead
And all these lessons I’m still learning
You stay one step ahead
You Shine Shine Shine
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Where do you go when you don’t want me to know?
You know I wouldn’t dare confine you
Where do you stay when you don’t come out and play?
You shine so bright I just might find you
But just like you said if it’s over and dead then get up get on
I like what you said and I look straight ahead I just get up get on with the living
You Shine Shine Shine
Like flowers pushing up through the sidewalk
Like a funny tree at Christmastime
Like flashlights underwater

Swallow A Dream

Swallow A Dream words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998
I'm spending all of my time
trying to see the truth between the lies
I'm wondering where I can find
somewhere to go where I don't have to know
all about your medicine
threw it out again today
gone are your difficulties
shoot through the day with composure and ease
cosmetically altered personalities
it's all done with chemicals
they’re calling the miracles
go take your medicine
you can have a sharper day
all I want is to feel what I feel
2016
all I want is what's real to be real
don't let me swallow that
don't let me swallow that dream
reach in and reset your brain
this medication isn't just for the pain
why fail when you can succeed?
it comes in a bottle gives you just what you need
why don't you go into the store
they've got them all on display
all I want is to feel what I feel
2016
all I want is what's real to be real
don't let me swallow that
don't let me swallow that …
I'm wondering when did they decide to cosmetically alter
all behavior that falters?
strong lean high self-esteem
it's right here for sale
it's guaranteed not to fail
but there's one small side effect:
you might begin to think it's true
all I want is to feel what I feel
2016 all I want is what's real to be real
don't let me swallow that don't let me swallow that dream

Seeds Of Anger

Seeds Of Anger words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998
In the night when your mind to gets so tangled
in nasty knots and in webs
yes your mind is the kind of afraid of
scared of the stuff that you're made of
the way it swells into rage
weather is warm is a summers breeze
turns into hailstorm bitter cold freeze
And we bend and pretend that it's gone now
then we repeat it again
who's to blame please explain how this happened
who is that hiding there?
there's demons everywhere
capture one and five more come to life
where are you going? will you be coming down?
You’re overflowing
you're so disaster bound
I see you sowing seeds of anger all around
And it's burning such holes and us
these little fires from hell
burning out the controls in us
somehow we’re never spared
somehow we never dared
stop the train before it ran us down
where are you going? will you be coming down?
You’re overflowing
you're so disaster bound
I see you sowing seeds of anger all around

Salta Diamanter (in Swedish) Words and Music by Lolita Pop copyright 1983
Det vackraste du gav mig var tre salta diamanter
jag strök dem från din kind en gång
när allt bar vassa kanter
dimman blev vår vän och skylde oss från gatans blickar
min kappsäck full av ögonblick
blir brev jag aldrig aldrig skickar
sakta börjar bitar av vår mosaik förskjutas
tiden blir en avgrund
den vill aldrig mera slutas
dimman blev vår vän och skylde oss från gatans blickar
min kappsäck full av ögonblick
blir brev jag aldrig aldrig skickar
länge länge länge har vi skilts av mer än städer
nästa gång vi hälsar
hälsar vi från våra kläder
dimman blev vår vän och skylde oss från gatans blickar
min kappsäck full av ögonblick
blir brev jag aldrig aldrig skickar
Det vackraste du gav mig var tre salta diamanter
jag strök dem från din kind en gång
när allt bar vassa kanter
dimman blev vår vän och skylde oss från gatans blickar
min kappsäck full av ögonblick
blir brev jag aldrig aldrig skickar
dimman blev vår vän och skylde oss från gatans blickar
min kappsäck full av ögonblick
blir brev jag aldrig aldrig skickar

That Girl Again Words and Music copyright Bibi Farber 1998
I'll be sipping my wine
one of those great spring days in June
taking my time
there's no one and no where I need to be soon
downstairs I turn the corner now I see you don't want to see
Oh look here comes that girl again she’s so down down down
knows just how and where to find me somehow
she takes up so much room
she's all despair and gloom
how will I ever get anything done?
She's out of her mind
the war in her head is so one of a kind… so unaligned
why does she drag me all of the time?
Why does she drag me here all of the time?
downstairs I turn the corner now I see don’t want to see
Oh look here comes that girl again she’s so down down down
knows just how and where to find me somehow
she takes up so much room
she's all despair and gloom
how will I ever get anything done?
Get her off of my stage!
tell her to get out and go turn the page
or lock up her cage
I don't know why she can't stay there
I don't know why she pretends that she's me
downstairs I turn the corner now I see you don't want to see
Oh look here comes that girl again she’s so down down down
knows just how and where to find me somehow
she takes up so much room
she's all despair and gloom
how will I ever get anything done?
look here comes that girl again she so Down down down knows just how and where to find me somehow
she never wants to dance she doesn't miss a chance to make sure I never get anything done

October Again Words and Music copyright Bibi Farber 1998
It's October again
there's a burst in the air
a loneliness there
it got colder
it's all orange again
I'm remembering when
the days got shorter
it got colder again
I got older again now that's
one more year gone by
we can all go inside
go home and go hide
settle in down for the winter
I want to surprise
I want to feel my temperature rise
I want to be part of the story
take me aside
take me out out out on a ride
stare into my eyes and unfold me unfold me
cause my dreams might be getting moldy
Let's go through it again
let's go try to pretend that
this time things will be brighter
it's October again I'm remembering when
life just felt lighter but that bite in the air holds a promise I'm diggin the deeper blue days
I want to surprise
I want to feel my temperature rise
I want to be part of the story
take me aside
take me out out out on a ride
stare into my eyes and unfold me unfold me
cause my dreams might be getting moldy

Unlocked

Unlocked words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998
Hey Mr. sitting there
I see you everywhere
why are your eyes facing down?
sitting there all alone
watching the twilight zone
tell yourself you're feeling just fine
protecting your sanity
drowning in vanity
tell yourself it's all that you wanted
you say that you're strong
everything’s where it belongs
but late at night I know that you wonder
if love found the back door unlocked
tell me would you believe it?
would you say “go away - you got the wrong place” or would you stand up and greet it?
You've paid all your dues
and you're convinced that you lose
You say that love only brings you straight down
watching these years go by
don't even want to try
what's the sense of getting excited?
There’s all of those lies you said you'd never buy again
all of those tears you said you'd never cry again
to open your heart is something you'd never try again
But if love found the back door unlocked
tell me would you believe it?
would you say “go away - you got the wrong place” or would you stand up and greet it?
If love found the back door unlocked?
and went through the back door?

Disconnected words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998
I'm trying to reach you baby
is something wrong with your line?
exchange some speech here baby
I'll try my call back some other time
what's wrong with your number?
it seems to have changed
You’re never at home now lately
I let it ring 20 times
I wish you’d pick up the phone now baby
if you call I'll pick up mine
but all of my quarters just keep coming back
it looks like we got disconnected
you had to take another call
got so disconnected
can you still hear me at all?
You kept me on hold too long here
just what did you have in mind?
waiting out in the cold too long dear
I want to get back inside
but all of my quarters can't call you back
it looks like we got disconnected
you had to take another call
got so disconnected
can you still hear me at all?
what do I do now baby to get you back on the line?
just trying to get through now baby
to say hello
to say hello or goodbye
‘cause we got disconnected
you had to take another call
got so disconnected
can you still hear me at all?
now you can't hear me at all

One Thing

One Thing words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998
It's a good thing I don't know how to reach you
There’s this one thing I wish I'd have time to teach you
calling and calling and calling around
standing up tall while my soul hits the ground
starting to lose what I thought we just found
and it's one thing the wall came down so easy
and another to leave it down and stand here bare
games in the sand taught me more in one day
I knew all the rules but you taught me to play
starting to see that there's more than one way
so the search party was out on the beach
searching for more of those dreams out of reach
All of the lessons I thought I could teach
I couldn't teach you anything
questions unite us but answers divide
our parallel bodies will start to collide
holding on steady
starting to slide
It's a good thing I don't know how to reach you
There’s this one thing I wish I'd have time to teach you
calling and calling and calling around
standing up tall while my soul hits the ground
starting to lose what I thought we just found
games in the sand taught me more in one day
I knew all the rules but you told me to play
starting to see that there's more than one way

17 After 3
17 after 3 in the morning
I'm still lying here
thinking you're here with me
just ignoring cold reality
guess you must be ok
remember - you never wanted to stay for breakfast anyway
17 after 3 you can stay here till the morning comes
keeping me company
saying all those things you'd never say
play my favorite scene
one last dream
spellbound by the site
spellbound in the night
if I fall asleep can I take you with me?
17 after 3 I'd be lying
if I said I felt fine about you and me
just denying cold reality
but darkness brings me sweet dreams
where you found me
come to drown me
spellbound by the site
spellbound in the night
if I fall asleep can I take you with me?
