lyrics

If Only

words & music - Allan Thomas

If you could surf like Slater sing like brother Ray
Be a flying Wallenda for just one day
Slip outta your skin into something new
See whats it's like if you weren't you
If only

Ten years younger thirty pounds lighter
Have the physique of a prize fighter
Find your name in a billionaires will
Win the love of a super model
If only

I'd conquer the world give peace a chance
Require my subjects to learn how to dance
Pass out money on a silver platter
Eat till I burst without getting fatter
If only If only

Shoulda listened to what the ex had to say
About saving up but I pissed it away
Never bought a home when prices were low
Now I missed the boat and I've got nothing to show
If only

Get food on my face when I eat
If only I could be more neat
Make mistakes and then repeat If only

I'm vain as one could be
You know she wrote that song about me
Save someone from drowning be hailed as a hero
More famous than Bobby De Niro
If only

This luck has to change for the better
Like a lull in some funky weather
Win the lotto or kill it in Vegas
Pick up a brush and paint like Degas
Get on a roll where you just can't miss
Become the guy the girls just can't resist
If only I could stop saying if only

If only, if only, yeah if only

This album is State Cows coming back to form after their last album was a disappointment. The only caveat on this album is a lack of a ballad, such as California Gold. sven86

Waiting For Love is my least favorite because it's a cover...The rest of the songs are perfectly written, produced and recorded! I think this is their best album of all. Cyriel van Kappel aka Cy Vanka

Wonderful! How can David still make such music. Still this great voice and sooo good songs. Reminds me of "Napa Crossroads" and "The Secret of Moving On". Buy if you don't have already. Fantastic album! hurvineck
