before Dizzy Up The Girl, they didn't note who wrote which songs in the CD sleeve, so I have listed the ones where it sounds like Robby doing most of the singing. If I missed one, please let me know! dreamtooloud @ aol . com (minus the spaces -- please forgive the spam protection!)
Burnin'
Up
Impersonality
Somethin' Bad
So
Long
Slave
Girl
Said
you're burnin up inside, no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell
Life seems pretty easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin up inside and no one cares
Said
you had enough this time cause time don't treat you well
You always cried coincidence while I drew parallels
Life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin up inside and you hurt me
Come
and take my hand tonight I'll show you where to start
Cause every word that left your lips like a needle through my heart
And life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin'up inside and you hurt my eyes

When
I was three feet tall
I loved them all
And lived life for myself
Falling down for laughs
Your photograph
Some puppets made of felt
Watching
life in Oz Thanksgiving eve on grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout I'd twist and shout for everyone to see
Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me
Momma's
in a shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed a wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth
Scooping
up the coins
A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now but I'll shout out loud for everyone to see
Never
got to know you
Did you ever wonder why
Now it's nice to know you
And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all
Now I'm so proud of ya
I'd love to tell you all I see
Listen hard to your realities
Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me

Well
they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they're holding out for cheaper Chinese food
If I'm older now and have a tainted attitude
Why'd those neon lights all lost their common blue
And
it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethin bad has gotta change
Well I see them working round the block till six a.m.
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethin bad has gotta change
-top-
Don't
take much looking back to know I took my coffee black then
Nothings different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright
Your optimistic views your hundred dollar running shoes and
Carpel tunnel syndrome we all had a laugh about it
I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all
So
long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long
Don't
take much looking back to know I faked that heart attack then
And nothings different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright
You always spoke the truth from circa disco abba boots and
All that showbiz talk we all had a laugh about it
I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all
So
long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long
I gotta get back to where I belong
So
long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long
