Funny How 03:42

Funny How Funny how, the the things that bring us together keep us apart Funny how, expecting the unexpected goes right to the heart Irony, life is full of it Got to see the other side of it Destiny, keeps us apart Funny how, the looks you get in December are given away Funny how, the locks go on March or April, please stay away Irony, life is full of it Virtually, how we deal with it Axiomatically, further apart Ironing out the problems with Distancing become a normal thing The closer we get, the father apart Funny how, the the things that bring us together keep us apart Funny how, expecting the unexpected goes right to the heart (Introlude solo; Verse solo) Irony is reality Socially to virtuality Inversely, that’s where it leads Funny how, the closer we come together the need to depart Funny how, when we come back together it’s hard to restart Irony, world is made of it History, keep repeating it Deja vu all over again Funny how… © 2021 Kelvin Roy Martian Music

Giving Your Love a Try When you’re out there waiting for something good You want to reach out and grab it, if you only could Somewhere out there love is waiting so… You gotta keep on living get up and sigh You gotta keep on giving your love a try Love put you on the high wire with no net below You fell from grace so quickly you didn’t even know Somewhere out there love is waiting so… You gotta keep on living get up and sigh You gotta keep on giving your love a try Love is waiting out there for you Don’t keep love waiting, it’s the best thing for you You gotta keep on giving love a try You gotta keep on living to laugh (baby) and sigh Somewhere out there love is waiting so… You gotta keep on living get up and sigh You gotta keep on giving your love a try Love is waiting out there for you Don’t keep love waiting, it’s the best thing for you You gotta keep on living get up and sigh You gotta keep on giving your love a try… © 1991 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

All the World's a Stage 03:23

All The World’s a Stage All the world’s a stage ready for the players All the smiles and rage on display for ages Once upon a time in a different place, once upon a space in a flashing light Entities appear after a long flight, touching down again briefly in the night All the world’s a stage ready for the players All the smiles and rage on display for ages As the story’s told, messages unfold, like those in a bottle from the ocean’s foam History repeats, even here in brief, Across ages and miles in the current style Time and space… in an embrace, holding on before it’s gone (Solo) All the world’s a stage ready for the players All the smiles and rage on display for ages Here we are again, faraway is near, before the journey’s end, moments that are dear All the world’s a stage ready for the players All the smiles and rage on display for ages All the world’s a stage… © 2021 Kelvin Roy Martian Music

Fantasy or Reality 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Fantasy or Reality Fantasy or reality, life is full of one or the other you see Draw the line or it draws itself, takes you in or sets you free Make it what you want it to be, fantasy or reality Follow a sign, open your mind, get out in front or fall behind That’s what you get from a music guy who likes non-fiction Out in space or part of the race, leap of faith or making haste (what a waste) There’s a choice which way to go, or mix it up and on with the show That’s what you get from a music guy who likes non-fiction (Solo) Reality needs fantasy, imagine what you might be Make it what you want it to be, capture the moment or set it free That’s what you get from a music guy who likes non-fiction © 2021 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

In the Stardust 04:39

In the Stardust In the stardust, in the sand, by the seashore, it’s the space (beyond the span It’s the place we remember, it’s the way we can turn back Let our hands be the capsule for a ride that’s going to last That is what he had to show us, we’re just castles in the tide Through the grains of truth that lie here, whole lives are redefined Einstein, spacetime It’s the premise that we live by, that times will always change ‘Cause the space all around us is still growing out of range And the sun comes up tomorrow, on the light we can depend And it shines our only constant, still three billion years to send Sands of time are so fine, if you could catch some sand for all time There are no limits… © 2000 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

The Human Side 03:50

The Human Side In my eyes, in my eyes I see you, moving so I just know you’re mine I can see through your disguise even though you keep it under wraps to appetite me I’ve got it bad and that ain’t good, I keep telling myself I should Wonder if I ever could love you forever When you go I think I’ve blown it again even though you let me know you care I feel like reaching out and touching you, but are you window shopping with my heart I’ve got it bad and that ain’t good, I keep telling myself I should Wonder if I ever could love you forever Trying to make some sense out of my feelings whether to tell you now or take some time Hoping you don’t notice my confusion, maybe if I’m shy you’re mystified I’ve got it bad and that ain’t good, I keep telling myself I should Wonder if I ever could love you forever Perhaps you feel just like me it’s silly, waiting for a chance to make your move Let’s stop hesitating now my darling, it’s time our body language said it all You’ve got it bad and that ain’t good, you keep telling yourself you should Wonder if you ever could love me forever, love you forever, love me forever, love is forever In my eyes, in my eyes I see you © 1990 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

Lose the Battle to Win the War 03:00

Lose the Battle to Win the War You gotta lose to win You gotta lose the battle to win the war Trying to get along, get more right than wrong Feeling like you need to press the point Had enough of this, on the precipice Hard to step away from fever pitch Temperature’s rising, cloud the horizon Seeing red will only bring the blues You gotta lose the battle to win the war, you gotta lose to win Lines drawn in the sand are just a demand That might change around with the wind Sometimes it pays to back off a little bit Cut your losses, don’t dig a hole Temperature’s rising, cloud the horizon Seeing red will only bring the blues Step back from the anger, that’s what really matters Step back from the danger building inside You gotta lose the battle to win the war Keep your pride in check you’ll have no regrets When you’re cool you can come back soon Step back from the anger, don’t be a volcano Step back from the danger building inside You gotta lose the battle to win the war, you gotta lose to win © 2021 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

Waiting for You Waiting for you When you were near skies were so clear Seeing the light best in the night Waiting for you, what can I do, waiting for you …waiting for you Sunrise is sweet, clouds like a fleet Horizons extend to where we were then Waiting for you, what can I do, waiting for you Soon we will find some peace of mind Follow the signs to a place deep in time Waiting for you …waiting for you Space will define where it’s sublime Stars shining bright, best in the night Waiting for you, what can I do, waiting for you …seeing it through, waiting for you… © 2017 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

Piece of the Action What are waiting, waiting ‘round for, wouldn’t you like some more Here’s a chance for something extra, why not open the door Accept your fate, it’s never too late Reach out and grab it if you think you have it, ‘cause you know Everybody wants to get a little piece of the action Everybody wants to have a little piece of the action When you flirt and tease missing opportunities Talking is not enough, go on get out there, do your stuff (do it up) Accept your fate, it’s never too late Reach out and grab it if you think you have it, ‘cause you know Everybody wants to get a little piece of the action Everybody wants to have a little piece of the action Don’t hold back, you’re right, that’s my rap Take the time to do some scheming or try jumping up & down and screaming Accept your fate, it’s never too late Reach out and grab it if you think you have it, ‘cause you know Everybody wants to get a little piece of the action Everybody wants to have a little piece of the action… © 1990 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

New Ice Age What we know will never hurt us, what we know will bring no pain What we know will never hurt us, what we know will bring the change The new ice age, new ice age, ice age, the new ice age Why are you so cold to me, I feel like a lonely seed Floating down to fertile patches ’til I turn to leave What we know will never hurt us, what we know will bring no pain What we know will never hurt us, what we know will bring the change The new ice age, new ice age, ice age, the new ice age Can you hear your mother calling long ago before the fall Yes those roots are long and winding and you’re standing tall The new ice age, new ice age, ice age, the new ice age When you shine on me I’m warming, I can feel it makes me glow Then the wind whispers a morning, almost time to go What we know will never hurt us, what we know will bring no pain What we know will never hurt us, what we know will bring the change The new ice age, new ice age, ice age, the new ice age… © 2000 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

Vicissitudes 04:03

Vicissitudes I have got a crazy feeling, on the floor or at the ceiling Up’s and downs are what life’s dealing Try to keep it steady but it jumps up and down What is it that makes life worth living? I’ve got to sing about it, sharing and giving You could render me some assistance It takes two to tango can’t you see Now we have this loving feeling Dancing on the floor or ceiling Ups and downs give life its meaning Now that we’re together we can jump up and down © 2020 Kelvin Roy Martian Music kidsounz.com

Life It’s a crazy world out there (you know), but the only one we got I can see how everybody’s racing to the clock Take some time to find yourself, then you’re bound to know You were put here for a reason, win or place or show Don’t throw your life away, you’ve come along too far Don’t throw your life away, you’ll be a lonely star There is so much of the world out there for you to see Even do it by yourself—virtuality May pose more questions than answers, no fait accompli Therein lies the challenge for your curiosity Understand, you’re a man or woman who’s given A chance to make somethin’ through lovin’ from nothin’ Don’t throw your life away, you’ve come along too far Don’t throw your life away, you’ll be a lonely star All the planet people that you have a chance to meet Must be some who understand that (who) you would like to greet They are waiting out there for you; don’t play hide and seek Why not hang around a while and make them more complete Don’t throw your life away, you’ve come along too far Don’t throw your life away, you’ll be a lonely star Don’t throw your life away…don’t throw it away… Don’t throw your life away © 2000 Kelvin Roy Martian Music
