MAKE MY DAY, © Irene Bom, 2011
1. Gather round, gather round - meet the maestro
He's got music up his sleeve
Stick around for the oompah band
Now's not the time to leave
Chorus:
Do yourself a favour
Do yourself a favour: stay awhile.
And do me a favour too
If you stay, it'll make my day
2. Come inside, come inside - hold your questions
Answers will come soon enough
Step up on the dance floor: It's time to partner up.
Chorus
Bridge:
If you need it take a seat and rest awhile
Let the music wash over you and ease your mind
You will feel better
Chorus

LIFE'S LIKE THAT, © Irene Bom, 2011
1. I remember the day Charles and Diana got married
My lover left me that morning and never came back.
As it turns out the royal couple
had no happy-ever-after either: Too mismatched
Chorus:
Life's like that, life's like that - it can catch you out
Life's like that, life's like that
But we do have our moments on life's merry-go-round (x2)
2. I read somewhere the dress took five hours to copy
the dressmakers glued to the TV to trace the design
What did it cost? Which couple bought it?
Was it happy-ever-after walking down the aisle?
Chorus
Bridge:
Not the dress, nor the kiss on the balcony
not the photos in the press
What I recall best of all are the slip-ups
in the vows at St Paul's and my empty flat.
Chorus

ON REPEAT (MISSING YOU), © Irene Bom, 2011
1. At least the sun still rises (on repeat)
Burnt the toast this morning (on repeat)
I'm not myself, have you noticed (on repeat)
Should've listened to the weather on the radio (on repeat)
Going through the motions but it feel all wrong
Especially when they play our song
Chorus:
On repeat - can't eat, can't sleep
On repeat - missing you
2. I brush my teeth as usual (on repeat)
Take the dog out walking (on repeat)
I feel the cold all the time now (on repeat)
People ask how I am and I say I'm fine (on repeat)
Going through the motions but the nights are tough
How long before I've had enough?
Chorus
Bridge:
Missing you on the pillow
Missing you in my bones
Missing you and your breath on my skin
Missing you - it's agony
Chorus

I WISH, © Irene Bom, 2012
1. This day belongs to the moon
I wish, I wish I could see through the gloom
But everythings's grey:
This day belongs to the moon.
2. All year I've been wishing on stars
I wish, I wish I was there where you are
And I wish you were here:
All year I've been wishing on stars
3. This life is riddled with holes
I wish, I wish I didn't feel so cold
Who will pull out the knife?
This life is riddled with holes.
Bridge:
This day I'm hoping for sun
I wish, I wish; I wish, I wish;
I wish, I wish the dawn would come
4. This time I'm letting you go
I wish, I wish there was a way to let you know
I think I'll be fine.
This time I'm letting you go
I wish, I wish there was a way to let you know
I think I'll be fine - I will be fine.
It's time - I'm letting you go.

MR SPITZ, © Irene Bom, 2012
Chorus:
He made his mark, that Mr Spitz
Swimming, swimming like a fish
First over the finish line
Seven, yeah, seven times
1. He had a lovely smile
and a chin to die for
and seven gold medals
for butterfly, butterfly and crawl.
Chorus
2. Everything turned out fine
He proved that he's no coward
He took on all his rivals
and made the crowd, made the crowd go wild.
Chorus
Bridge:
Breaking world records,
Shaving off seconds,
Mr Spitz says,
It's his friends he values the most in the end
More than his seven gold medals
Chorus
