Nobody knows me, they don't know when I'm blue I should win an Oscar for fooling all of you 'cos nobody, I said nobody knows me at all Nobody hears me when I say I'm down They don't know how to deal with the sadness of a clown cos nobody, I said nobody knows me at all Nobody sees me when I cry alone I wish they'd come running or call me on the phone but nobody, I said nobody knows me at all

The road is looking long, so let's make up a song to sing as we drive along, we'll make up a driving song...to sing The times are getting tough, the road is getting rough I've finally had enough of playing Blind Man's Bluff with you One hand upon the wheel in the other is your hand My hand upon the wheel in the other is your hand I'll make you feel alright, I'll make you feel alright One hand upon the wheel in the other is your hand My hand upon the wheel in the other is your hand I'll make you feel alright, I'll make you feel alright

Crazy Life 03:51
In dawn's pale and pearly glow we rise Wiping lousy sleep from tired eyes Spent the evening packing up the car Kids, we're following a wandering star Don't care much for the establishment We can't even get a house to rent All we wanna do is sing our songs In this city we just don't belong Oh it's a crazy life but so much fun We'll have stories unlike anyone All our friends see us come and go A new backdrop crashes down, from dream to dream We roll along... The ocean waves to us on our right side mountains on the left, so high and wide We'll be winding through the great divide to the desert on the other side Oh it's a crazy life but so much fun We'll have stories unlike anyone Oh it's a crazy life but so much fun We'll keep rollin' til our days are done

All the Polkadots had to leave the valley cos the Stripes were moving in And they didn't like playing noughts and crosses, cos the Stripes never let them win The poor Polkadots took off and headed for the dappled hills of Purpletown and now they're living happily All the Polkadots would roll around the hillside from the morning til the night and from there they could look across the valley at the mess made by the stripes So Purpletown today is a haven for the Spots and Dots from all around the world They're living happily Why you may ask do the Polkadots have such a problem with the Stripes? It's because wherever the Stripes may travel They leave behind a line And the Polkadots always like to see things the way they really are Whereas the Stripes cannot help but make things Just how they desire So the Polkadots and Stripes have got to find a way to live together in harmony What a picture that will be Living together in harmony

Happy Song 02:20
This is our happy song, it makes us smile and feel good inside This is our happy song, where the sun shines bright all day and night There are no tears here just smiles and Christmas cheer Oh I'm glad this song is here This is our happy song where it's always 23 degrees This is our happy song wherever you stand you feel a sea breeze This is the part where we mention ma and pa's name For without them we never would have came No pain suffering misery or fear Happiness is the very best idea to come along This is our happy song Happy song and I'm glad that it came along

Grumple 03:56
Grumple Stiltskin lives with Jane In a pocket of pretty green One kid, and one on the way It's a wonder you've never seen them in the park Well he's calling her like a dog, oh lee oh lie How long may ye rise may ye roll? Marijuana every day is enough to make you insane Ask me I have felt the pain of the monster inside your brain Oh lee oh lie but it's so boring when you go dry Oh lee oh lie, how long may ye rise may ye roll? I'm lookin at your eyes, they're telling me big lies You don't even know me, you can't see me at all Open your brain to the sun, let the mighty eagle inside Let there be love for everyone step away from the ego ride Oh lee oh lie, I don't wanna be here til I die Oh lee oh lie how long may ye rise may ye roll? I'm looking at your eyes, They're telling me big lies You can't even see me, I'm one in a zillion, So can you imagine the way that I'm feeling? You're caught in a thicket, a hedge of pretty green

about

Released in 2008, LET LOVE BEGIN, Roger Loves Betty's debut album is a warm fuzzy road trip, laced with innocence. It is a portal into childhood, into the back seat of your parent's car listening to AM radio, travelling from town to town. "This album is a fairytale come to life. It is flawless in its simplicity and beauty, giving the listener a sense of peace and tranquillity about life. 'Let Love Begin' will put anyone in the perfect mood for a romantic picnic with a loved one, knowing that there is nowhere else you'd rather be". Ben Foley DB Magazine review 25.05.08
