Bayou Billabong

theotherindrani Stylish, tight, wry, yet intensely romantic lyrics & swingy, danceable melodies—these songs are hugely memorable & this is a beautiful album—I find myself smiling every time I hear the opening bars of 'Disbelief'. The only thing I'd change is the name; it should be: 'Clayton Doley's Wedding Album'—because that's essentially what it is—a work of love—from the musical homages, the session musicians & narrative storytelling. It's Doley's own 'love supreme'. I can't wait for the next instalment! Favorite track: Disbelief.

Disbelief 05:08
DISBELIEF (Clayton Doley) My imagination is running wild, with with thoughts of losing you i am preoccupied Paranoid delusions in my mind, I think your deceiving me and I'm scared of what i might find I just don't know what to believe, things are not as they appear to be They way your being so nice to me confirms my fears I love it when you hate me and I hate it when you love me too much I do believe, I do believe, I do believe, I'm in disbelief Back in the old days you got mad, if i came home late and drunk and smelling bad If the rules were broken there were reprimands, but we had so much fun making up again I just don't know what to believe, things are not as they appear to be They way your being so nice to me confirms my fears I love it when you hate me and I hate it when you love me too much I do believe, I do believe, I do believe, I'm in disbelief I get suspicious of your kindness I think you're overcompensating too much I do believe, I do believe, I do believe, I'm in disbelief

I LIVE FOR YOU (Clayton Doley) It's so good to have somebody to call your own It's so good to have somebody to have and to hold It's so good to have somebody to say you look nice It's so good to have somebody that knows your always right So long as my heart keeps on beating so long as my lungs keep on breathing I live for you and I'd die for you too I love the life I live with you and I live the live life I love with you I live for you and you live for me too I can't believe how good it feels to share everything we've been in love so many years and it's still exciting I can't believe how good it feels this is what I'm living for we've been in love so many years and will be for many more So long as my heart keeps on beating so long as my lungs keep on breathing I live for you and I'd die for you too I love the life I live with you and I live the live life I love with you I live for you and you live for me too I gave you my heart as a token it's a bond that will never be broken Out of all of the languages spoken loves the only language I hear Listen to my heart beat it's pounding so happy and healthy it's sounding So lucky in love it's astounding you live for me and that's all I need (You live for me) And that is all I need So long as my heart keeps on beating so long as my lungs keep on breathing I live for you and I'd die for you too I love the life I live with you and I live the live life I love with you I live for you and you live for me too

Lose It 05:03
LOSE IT (Clayton Doley) You look like you came out of a coma Beads of sweat your all wet and your eyes are all glassed over You live life like everyday is your last You laugh and cry at the same time you don't need to live so fast 'Cause there's just one thing you should know, you're out of your mind again You just about to lose it, I know that you just about to lose it You just about to blow your mind Wo wo wo, you're out of your mind again You just about to lose it, I know that you just about to lose it You just about to blow your mind Wo wo wo You look like something has got you spellbound Your upside-down and inside out your spinning around and around You're in luck cause i got here just at the right time You're a mess but still the best and I'm gonna make you mine 'Cause there's just one thing you should know, you're out of your mind again You just about to lose it, I know that you just about to lose it You just about to blow your mind Wo wo wo, you're out of your mind again You just about to lose it, I know that you just about to lose it You just about to blow your mind Wo wo wo

WAITING FOR THE COFFEE (Clayton Doley & Andrew Vladeck) Last night I got hammered today I woke up nailed Baby I don’t want to fail you But what can I do my whole world’s in spin Just waiting for the coffee to kick in Last night I got ripped today I woke up torn Baby I don’t want to mourn for you I am through but you got a very thick skin And I’m just waiting for the coffee to kick in The river is wide the water’s too cold I can’t stand there’s nothing to hold Times like these are sink or swim And I’m waiting for the coffee to kick in Last night I got toasted today I woke up burned Baby I don’t want to yearn for you I am true, and that’s where I’ll begin Just waiting for the coffee to kick in The river is wide the water’s too cold I can’t stand there’s nothing to hold Times like these are sink or swim And I’m waiting for the coffee to kick in

WE'RE STILL CHANGING (Clayton Doley) We begin and we think can do anything In life there's no guarantee we'll be treated equally So don't take it personally what ever will be will be (I dare you to do something outrageous maybe do something spontaneous) Open up heart and mind (I dare you to do something challenging maybe do something interesting) Open up your heart and mind And you just might find It gets better next time We're still changing day after day It's amazing we don't stay the same We're still changing day after day after day Plant a seed and watch it grow into a tree Time keeps marching on it sorts out the wright from wrong Yeah we can all get along but we gotta keep on hanging on (I dare you to do something outrageous maybe do something spontaneous) Open up heart and mind (I dare you to do something challenging maybe do something interesting) Open up your heart and mind And you just might find It gets better next time We're still changing day after day It's amazing we don't stay the same We're still changing day after day after day Keep struggling all the time no one wants to be left behind no Finding your way to the end is just so much easier with a friend We're still changing day after day It's amazing we don't stay the same We're still changing day after day after day

STARTING RIGHT NOW (Clayton Doley) I knew there was something that I was waiting for Just counting the hours hoping for more Well this is it, now i know now what it is I'm never gonna let you go I'm keeping this When i feel small you make me twice my size I feel brand new and i can't disguise My soul is on fire love is running hot Lets make it official lets tie the knot (Starting right now) We will always be together We'll change our lives for the better (Staring right now) If you stay with me forever (Starting right now) Starting right now I asked your mother and your father, they do approve Now I've got their blessing i want to marry you Start a new life leave it all behind Let's run away until the end of time I do declare to the world shout out from the roof tops Now it's started I wont let it stop My soul is on fire this love is running hot Lets make it official lets tie the knot (Starting right now) We will always be together We'll change our lives for the better (Staring right now) If you stay with me forever (Starting right now) Starting right now
