Don’t Burn Your Bridges (Olson, 2026)

You’re alone now, on the phone now
Trying to connect to, the friends that don’t miss you
You feel like a fool now, you should have known how
How to make amends, to make your peace with them

All your friends have up and left you
On a desert island where they forget you

Maybe
Don’t burn all your bridges down
Maybe
Don’t burn all your bridges down
Down, Down
Don’t burn them down

You ventured out now, walking downtown
Peer into windows, of bars they frequent
You’re on your own now, so alone now
Shouldn’t have said those things, should have shut your mouth

All your friends have up and left you
On a desert island where they forget you

Maybe
Don’t burn all your bridges down
Maybe
Don’t burn all your bridges down
Down, Down
Don’t burn them down


Brought You Down (Olson, 2026)

You were happy go lucky
Till the day she found you lonely
You were at your most vulnerable
She made you feel most miserable

Brought you down
Brought you down
To a level you thought you’d never see
A level you never dreamt to feel
A level that’s darker and deeper than a great blue sea
Ah..

You dug deep to free yourself
To break the bond of the enchantment
The tension was unmistakable
You knew the union was untenable

Brought you down
Brought you down
To a level you thought you’d never see
A level you never dreamt to feel
A level that’s darker and deeper than a great blue sea
Ah..

So deep you had to hold your breath
So deep you could not surface yet

Brought you down
Brought you down
To a level you thought you’d never see
A level you never dreamt to feel
A level that’s darker and deeper than a great blue sea

Ah Ah Ah Ah 

Ah Ah Ah Ah


TV On Fire (Olson, 2026)

Fire is my TV
It’s my burning desire
Fire is my TV
It’s the thing I never tire

It don’t have a chip or wire
It don’t have a chip or wire

Fire is my TV
It’s my burning desire
Fire is my TV
It’s the thing I never tire

It don’t have a chip or wire
It don’t have a chip or wire

Fire is my TV
Fire is my TV
Fire is my TV

It don’t have a chip or wire
It don’t have a chip or wire
Go build yourself a fire
Go build yourself a fire


Cupidation (M. Giombini and G. Scoponi, 1966)

A cupidation
A cupidation
A cupidation 
A cupidation

On my watch
I’ll be watching them scram
Hey Hey yeah

So I try
To be mine oh mine oh mine
He’s wrecking the men at peace
Turns out to be free for my little boy
Oh cupidation

A cupidation
A cupidation

(BREAK)

A cupidation
A cupidation
A cupidation 
A cupidation

Big blue eyes
That’s a stupidation
yeah oh yeah

On my lips
That’s a stupidation my oh my
He’s wrecking the men at peace
Turns out to be free for my little boy

Oh cupdation

A cupidation
A cupidation
A cupidation 
A cupidation
