Brand New Ending © 2008 Doug Fergus Do you ever wish that you could live your life again If you had another chance, would you live it differently Well friends I’m here to tell you simply read my book and then You’ll discover inner peace, a confidence at least from knowing Chorus: No you can’t go back and make a brand new start You can start today and make a brand new ending No you can’t go back and make a brand new start You can start today You can start today You can start today And make a brand new ending Did you steal Hot Wheels, baseball cards and candy When you were a little kid, smoke a cig and smash a window Then when you were older, did you wreck your parent’s car Break into a cable station; rob your neighbor on vacation Chorus: Bridge: Now that I’ve told you just a little ‘bout me You see I’m not perfect Hardly But here I am telling all of you how to be free Repeat first verse

Does She Have A Sister? ©1990 Doug Fergus BMI Many times I find myself Dreaming of my sweetie pie When I should be hard at work My mind starts to fly Pounding nails in the hot sun Can’t wait for 12 O’clock Hey! Homemade cookies and a love note Inside my lunchbox Chorus: Would you like to meet her? Too bad, she’s mine Does she have a sister? You lose, don’t cry! All day she’s filling up my mind And it puts me at a risk Of smashing my finger Or slipping a disc Chorus:

Don't Laugh 03:55
Doug Fergus nakedinpublicnow@gmail.com 541-890-3293 Don’t Laugh ©2002 Doug Fergus Grandma and grandpa can’t remember who I am, each time I visit seems like the first I sat politely for an hour and a half, gramps told a story 8 or 9 times So this is what we can look forward to Can you imagine what they’re going through, Don’t laugh someday Don’t laugh someday Don’t laugh someday, you may be there too. We took their car keys, “people keep hitting us!” They threw a fit and said “it’s not our fault!” The street signs are being changed almost every day, causing us to get lost in our neighborhood So this is what we can look forward to Can you imagine what they’re going through, Don’t laugh someday Don’t laugh someday Don’t laugh someday, you may be there too. They swear the helper is putting poison in their food, stealing their socks and underwear Mom went to see them and tried to straighten everything They screamed and kicked and pulled each other’s hair The caregiver quit and said you need to get these two, out of the house and into a home So Mom found a place and cheerfully delivered them, they cried like kids on their first day of school So this is what we can look forward to Can you imagine what they’re going through, Don’t laugh someday Don’t laugh someday Don’t laugh someday, you may be there too.

Feel Much Better Now © 2009 Doug Fergus BMI I used to need to control- every little thing in my mind But as soon as I let go- I started to feel fine I was angry and frustrated- I was looking so hard for love Of the sixteen women I dated- no connection with anyone Chorus: I feel much better now Since I gave up hope Truth is I was looking daily for dates on the internet I was slightly desperate and craving; all I got was so upset I simply had to believe it- that I really did not care I could be contented alone now- maybe never be a pair Chorus: Within a year of me dropping my love obsession hell I met a really cool woman, but only time will tell She appears totally normal, emotionally healthy too And real and grounded and focused I have to think; can it be true? Chorus:

Gray Haired Lady ©2010 Doug Fergus BMI Gray haired lady Horseback rider Downhill skier Former hang glider Chorus: Why would she dye her hair? Younger women are everywhere There’s no need to compete with them She’s in a league of her own Gray haired lady Paints watercolor Always barefoot Yoga instructor Gray haired lady Loves to cuddle Sunday morning Crossword puzzle Chorus: Bridge: She’s my doctor She’s my teacher She’s my Buddha She’s my healer Gray haired lady Loves her flowers Gardens naked In April showers Chorus:

Guilt Shrine 03:48
Guilt Shrine ©2000 Doug Fergus BMI Have you heard about a weird phenomenon People feeling fine feel something’s wrong Surely I do not deserve this happiness I go to my room and I pray To my little guilt shrine and I say, whatever I’ve done, forgive me Blame it on my past; blame it on TV Who’s responsible? Surely it’s not me When I’m confident and feeling satisfied I go to my room and I pray To my little guilt shrine and I say, whatever I’ve done, forgive me

Hey Sheryl 05:33
Hey Sheryl ©2010 Doug Fergus BMI Hello there. I love. Everything. About you I read. You are. Attracted to. Complex men I am. In touch with. My greatness. You’ll see Chorus: Hey Sheryl We would make a great team Hey Sheryl Like Ali and Steve McQueen Did you. Get my. E mail. Proposal. I attached. A pic of me. From last year. I’m thinner now I am. In touch with. My greatness. You’ll see Chorus: OMG. LOL. LTR. TLC. Please call. Before eight. It’s ok. Mom knows I am. In touch with. My greatness. You’ll see Chorus:

I wish you’d stop- Being so nice to me Cooking that rice for me Feeding my mice for me Dropping the price for me- Makes it hard to say goodbye I wish you’d stop- Casting your vote for me Sailing my boat for me Leaving cute notes for me Swimming my moat for me- Makes it hard to say goodbye I wish you’d stop- Boiling those beans for me Bribing the dean for me Wearing my jeans for me Slamming the screen on me Makes it hard to say goodbye

Naked in Public ©2008 Doug Fergus BMI I found myself at school, the subject of much ridicule Seems I forgot to dress, I could hardly wait for recess I ran behind a nearby tree, but all the kids pointed at me there was nowhere else I could hide, so I danced around with pride! Chorus: Naked in public, oh what joy like a baby boy, Naked in public, oh what glee won’t you join me I found myself at work surrounded by a bunch of jerks So I got up and took a stance, of course I wasn’t wearing any underpants My boss told me to stay in my cubicle today But now no one else will see how glorious this body can be Chorus: Walking in a summer breeze, with a canvas bag for my groceries Wearing sunblock 45, waving to the folks who are surprised To see me out on the street, with nothing but shoes on my feet How can this be against the law, nothing finer than being in the raw Chorus:

Radio Star 03:45
Radio Star ©2010 Doug Fergus BMI If you can sing a bit- think you can write a hit- why don’t you lay down your tracks? There is a place for you- in someone’s living room- why not get into the act Record your own CD- sell it as an mp3 You’re gonna be a radio star People in Japan will know who you are You’re gonna be a radio star You’ll hear your songs in an airport bar You’re gonna be a radio star You’re gonna be a radio star If you believe it then- you can achieve it now- you must demolish your doubts If you can fake it then- maybe you’ll make it- before anybody finds out You don’t need a degree- you can even sing off key You’re gonna be a radio star Riding in the back of a sixty foot car You’re gonna be a radio star People will fight to light your cigar Now if you’re ready- get rid of your Teddy- and pick up your phone, make the call Sylvia’s waiting to jack up your game- she has platinum plates on her walls If you want to score a hit- go where they make the hits You’re gonna be a radio star Fender and Gibson will give you guitars You’re gonna be a radio star With purple hair and you’ll act bizarre

Stop, Drop and Roll ©2010 Doug Fergus BMI Too tight and too long She held me too tight And squeezed me too long I thought it was an indication that You’d fall in love too quickly But soon I was swept right up inside The enormous fire of your love Chorus: Now I’m gonna Stop Then I’m gonna drop Then I’m gonna roll Right on back to you Sometimes I am slow What’s obvious I don’t know You scared me with your talk of us Blending lives together I could not comprehend the heat And the passion flaming inside you Chorus: Now I’m gonna Stop Then I’m gonna drop Then I’m gonna roll Right on back to you
13.
Until She Makes Up Her Mind I’d like to get myself a haircut and maybe go back to school Or take out a loan for 25 grand and build a guitar shaped pool I want to sing in the shower, and honk my horn in a tunnel Someday I will write my auto biography but if that won’t sell I’ll spice it up with lies and advise my family not to tell May I go on a cruise now, or sleep in a flea bag hotel Chorus: My plans are getting cold May I execute them Before I get too old Not until she makes up her mind I really would like to land a new job like teaching the second grade Earn a big chunk of self respect instead of being well paid I’ll ride the school bus with them, and play them songs I’ve written Chorus: I’d like to buy a big diamond ring, now close your eyes and guess Then give it to you and drop to one knee and tell you all I confess I want to have many children, I mailed the invitations Chorus:

What I Don’t Know Won’t Hurt Me ©2009 Doug Fergus BMI I’ll admit I’m afraid of confrontation with that girl She’s my date, maybe girlfriend I don’t know where we stand Chorus: Maybe I have low self esteem Maybe I have a fear of success I’m just living in the moment What I don’t know won’t hurt me Driving down the street she smiles and looks at everyman Her cell phone rings and she turns away Covers her mouth with her hand Chorus: I don’t know what she does- when she is away from me She has friends I’ve never met - another world she won’t let me see She’s so hot I can hardly stand it, can’t imagine letting her go But try to plan or get an answer Impossible, she never knows

Doug Fergus nakedinpublicnow@gmail.com 541-890-3293 You’ll Never Know ©1993 Doug Fergus BMI My best friend all through childhood was a funny little girl But overnight she became a woman of the world I used to think of her as a sister, throwing rocks and playing games Now I don’t know what to think of her, everything has changed Her life has become complicated, living on the phone Every guy wants to know her and won’t leave her alone Now she’s telling me all about it, messing up my fragile head She wants to know who really loves her, this is what I said Chorus: You’ll never know if you don’t know now And I’m stuck between the in and the out door You’ll never know if you don’t know now And I don’t think I should see you any more Sometimes I wish I had never caught her friendly glance I could get on with my life; instead I’m learning to dance She still thinks of me as a brother, that’s a thought I’d love to erase Maybe I will write her a letter, she’s too much to face Chorus:
