Can You Handle It All? (A.Stewart) The world can give and take a lot of things You won’t miss things you never had, some say But you know that’s not true You know, that’s not true The mind can take apart a lot of things An’ I don’t know how it got so complicated But you know that’s just so You know, what I know (Chorus) It wasn’t me up, it wasn’t me down The good and the bad. Can you handle it all? It wasn’t me up, it wasn’t me down The good and the bad, yeah, can you handle it all? Boredom is my nemesis And I’m just trying to “Get It On” But you know, everything You know, my star sign (repeat chorus x 2) Can you handle it all? Can you handle it all? Can you handle it all?

Cruel Inventions (A.Stewart) You were dark like the water Frozen above me Thought I saw a ray of light That’s not light that’s lies God knows the intentions The devil likes to play with cruel inventions Cruel inventions Cruel inventions Cruel Inventions You were sweet like the honey Running around me Thought I heard the sound of hearts That’s not beats that’s lies God knows the intentions The devil likes to play with cruel inventions Cruel inventions Cruel inventions Cruel inventions
4.
More Than I Could Imagine (A.Stewart) Am I almost sleeping? Things I tell myself at night Like it’s just a dream and all the rest I think about the tears And all the good they’ve done Like burning waves and crashing suns And all these words, just sounds in my ear Leading me on a route to fear And it’s more than I could imagine And all these words, just sounds in my ear Leading me on a route to fear And it’s more than I could imagine Trade cows for the keys I’m falling from a bridge If Spring is cold I’ll not complain Things that I sleep through Not like a kiss Or burning waves and crashing suns (repeat chorus) (instrumental chorus) (repeat chorus twice more)
5.
Kinda Real 02:55
Kind of Real (A.Stewart) All the years have gone so fast And the tests I tried but couldn’t pass And when I reached I reached too far To the end and through the stars Every crash, every burn, just proved a little more I was real, kind of real Every crash, every burn, just proved a little more I was real, kind of real I dragged this dog from A to B Till it was just a part of me And when I run, I run to fast But always running with the past (repeat chorus) All the love and all the songs Seem like shadows in the night And in the end there are no tears Just the dreams and falling stars (repeat chorus) (instrumental chorus) (repeat chorus again)
6.
No Such Thing As Silence (A.Stewart) There’s no such thing as silence And what we feel is natural Let us laugh, let us cry Both of which are audible There’s a place where silence reigns Beyond this mortal coil Let us laugh, let us cry Would you kiss a gargoyle? There’s no such thing as silence, in my room There’s no such thing as silence, in my room There’s no such thing as silence, in my room There’s no such thing as silence, in my room You are not alone That is the truth Listen to your heart We are your family Parts of a whole So we laughed and so we cried (Repeat chorus x 2)
7.
We Cannot Pray (A.Stewart) One more day One more year There’s no words for it all There’s been light There’s been dark An’ all the shades in between And we cannot pray For more Than one more day And we cannot pray For more Than one more day Between the words Anger lurks But it tastes like poison, y’know Yeah, the moon It’s really something Something bigger than you (repeat chorus x 2)
8.
Another Tree 02:14
Another Tree (A.Stewart) I took the words you said as true I didn’t know you were black through and through I thought that you could outline the sky If I’d stuck around girl I think I would have died I didn’t know when I branched out I didn’t know I’d find Another tree I saw the crazy deep in your eyes I think you’ve been there with other guys I called the ambulance they said you’re okay If my back didn’t break you’d have found another way (repeat chorus) Can’t live and breathe inside a metaphor Can’t play with people cos that’s not what they’re for Can’t say that we don’t lie to ourselves But, baby, sometimes you gotta live before you learn (repeat chorus x 2)
9.
Can’t Sleep Away This Tired (A.Stewart) Can’t sleep away this tired Can’t run away And keep one eye open One ear for a song It runs away Can’t break what has been broken All them shades of grey And still the door is open Open for the light That runs away Can’t sleep away this tired Can’t sleep away this tired Dreams get more real and ugly No return or repeat And I’m holding on to ribbons They’re red and blown away Can’t sleep away this tired Can’t sleep away this tired
10.
Lady 03:02
Lady (A.Stewart) All the words and all the men Still frighten Tell the moon to go away I’m falling Lady, lady, I can’t bring you back Lady, lady, I can’t bring you back Rivers here and rivers there Yeah, this old road They come, they go, they sink or swim Just everything (repeat chorus) I know the fear in every heart But cannot heal For all the love and need of love They choose to kill (repeat chorus x 2)
11.
Never Let Your Bugles Sound Retreat (A.Stewart) Upon the road a gleam of crimson Don Pedro walks with his head held high With a flick of his wrist and a flash of his sword He's chasing dragons right out the window How come all the great songs have been written? Let's all applaud the wistful and the wonky But please, please, please Although, you are very sweet Don't ever let your bugles, never let your bugles sound retreat By the light of a joke on the edge of his smile By all means lose your temper Now here's his poem There are no words This road we're on looks like a Zero Repeat chorus Instrumental Repeat chorus twice
12.
Love Yourself (A.Stewart) Love yourself Baby Love yourself When the Light fades away Have a word with Night and Day Tell them who you are Remind them your a Star And Love yourself Baby Love yourself Oh so True When Time is cold and blue In my arms with you Whispering words so True Cherish the Heart you grew Banish all those doubting thoughts Untie them worn out knots And Love yourself Baby Love yourself Oh so True Love yourself Baby Love yourself When the Light fades away Have a word with Night and Day Tell them who you are Remind them your a Star And Love yourself Baby Love yourself Oh so True Oh so True

about

A statement of DIY self-expression, healing and hope. Songs appeared when they chose to. A crisis required a new goal. So, songwriter Andrew Stewart set a goal of recording an album of his songs. It was borne of necessity. Necessity is often the mother of invention. The album couldn't have been recorded without the support and musicianship of Glenn Gabriel, Gareth Burr and Peter MacCallum.
