Ladies' Man
03:18
|
|||
|
He’s a man who knows his threads
He’s got purpose in his stride
He’s used to turning heads
And rarely gets denied
He’s got the sweetest lines
He knows just what to say
You won’t pick up the signs
Until it’s too late
Chorus:
Oh—what do you do with a ladies’ man
He’s gonna get, gonna get, all the love he can
He’s gonna be, gonna be,
Some other lady’s man
He knows just how to kiss you
Light a fire through your skin
Make love like he was born to
Play you like a violin
He’s got charm down to an art
The devil in his grin
You know he’s gonna break your heart
If you let him in
Chorus:
I said— what do you do with a ladies’ man…

The Hitch
04:33
|
|||
|
I like to plan in advance
I always know the score
Before the music is played
Before I walk out the door
I like to draw a map
From A to B
So I can walk that line
And I know where I’ll be
Chorus:
Hitch in my plan
Glitch on the track
You’ve got me shifting my ground
And changing my tack
Hitch in my plan
A Switch on the line
I’ve got to rewrite the script
You’ve got me changing my mind
Well I was carrying on
The way I always do
Nothing broke my stride
Or really challenged my views
Then along you came
Life threw me a curve
You were talking so sweet
Where did you get the nerve?
Chorus
Oh the way you work
Leaves me wanting more
The effect you have
Is hard to ignore
You’ve got me wondering
What I’m going to do
Because I never planned
For someone like you
Chorus

Bread and Chocolate
05:02
|
|||
|
You can’t live on bread alone
That’s what the Good Book said
Though without your daily share
You aren’t getting fed
But I can’t help wanting more
Than strict necessity
And for me you are
A taste of luxury
Chorus:
Oh you’re like chocolate
Bliss on my tongue
Irresistible
I’ve got to have some
To me you’re an indulgence
Smoothing out my day
Oh I’ve got a craving
That doesn’t go away
You’re the guilty pleasure
Behind my secret smile
I like my bread and butter
But chocolate drives me wild
Chorus
Oh I can’t help myself
When it comes to you
You know what I mean
If you love chocolate too
I’m gonna try moderation
Like the doctor said
I like the thought of you all day
Though I know I need my bread
But I want chocolate…. Mmmm
Bliss on my tongue
Irresistible
I’ve got to have some

Never Touched the Ground
03:55
|
|||
|
Well I was hungry and cold
Living proud and alone
With the carcass of love
Nothing left but the bones
And just when in desperation
I thought I’d throw myself away
You came like an answer
To a prayer I didn’t say
Chorus:
And my feet never touched the ground
Took a leap and kept on flying
I keep waiting for the landing sound
Oh – be gentle if you let me down
Pile of dreams in the corner
Motionless and blue
But I heard their echo calling
From the days when they were new
Yet somewhere there was music
As from a distant room
And when I opened a window
That’s when I saw you
Chorus
I was trapped in a tower
The walls looked like stone
Each year grew colder
Had no room of my own
And just when I had decided
Love was a prisoner’s game
Oh I made my plan of escape
When you came calling my name
Chorus

Somewhere
03:08
|
|||
|
Somewhere— in some other place
Far, far from here
If I had seen your face
Would it have been clear
Chorus:
That you and I
Have so many things so say
That the hours of the day
Seem to vanish when you’re near
That you’re marvelous, my dear.
If I had seen you glance at me
On some crowded city street
Could I have guessed the alchemy
Were we to meet
Chorus
If I had watched you thrill a crowd
Would I have stayed
As long as time and space allowed
Suspicions raised
Would we have danced the night away
You and me
Or passed without a thing to say
Where would we be
Somewhere in some other place
Far far from here

Unpredictable
03:06
|
|||
|
Unpredictable
Like the rain in June
Or the day the cherry blossom trees
Burst into bloom
I find within my heart
The start of something new
And everything is spring
When I think of you
Unpredictable
Like a flash of falling light
Or a nightingale
Singing through twilight
I was unprepared
For the magic rushing through
My ordinary world
When I encountered you
Unpredictable
The burdens of the days
We have yet to live
Or their weight of pain
I’ll remember this
When my skies have lost their blue
The music in my heart
When I found you

Bring on the Blues
04:07
|
|||
|
There’s always blood on the leaves
When they cut sugar cane
No pleasure’s ever offered
Without a taste of pain
You’ll always be alone
Unless you open up your door
But when the guest is gone
The quiet’s louder than before
Chorus:
But there’s no joy without complications
Headaches chase intoxication
You’ve got to pay your dues
So bring on the blues
When the ballerina dances
The music is complete
She pirouettes on satin shoes
That hide her bleeding feet
You’ll never feel that major thrill
‘Til you get close and bare
And nothing hurts the way you will
When you’re left waiting there
Chorus
Well fire will set your face aglow
But very soon you’ll learn
If you let it light your soul
You can’t escape the burn
Someone who can make you sing
Can make you sing the blues
You can’t ride a river
Without a storm or two
Chorus

Voodoo Magic Man
02:34
|
|||
|
I got a fever
Can’t clear my head
All I want to do
Is crawl back into bed
I called the doctor
But he didn’t have a plan
The only one left to call
Is the voodoo magic man
Chorus:
Oh….the way he works
Is something I don’t understand
But he leaves me feeling better
That voodoo magic man
He mutters about chakras
And evil spirits too
Even said my aura
Was looking kind of blue
He said, We got to treat this
With the laying on of hands
I said, Do what you got to do
Voodoo magic man
Chorus
He said, It’s gonna make you sweat
The medicine is strong
And then he started working
And it lasted all night long
Feels like he’s got me pinned
He cast some kind of spell
It’s that voodoo magic
He does so very well
Chorus

Curtains
03:35
|
|||
|
Let’s not pick out curtains
Life’s moved us too far
To think of shared addresses
Or quarrels in the car
There are too many pieces
Now to rearrange
But if I tell you this
Will you think it strange
Chorus:
There’s a hidden place
No eye can see
Sheltered from the storm
Of reality
And when I close my eyes
That’s where I’ll be
In the secret world of you and me
We will never work out
How to pay the rent
Or have conversations
About how much we’ve spent
You’ll always live about it
In a place no one can find
A permanent companion
In the landscape of my mind
Chorus
You’ve got to travel your road
I’ll be walking mine
Waking up beside you
Is not in the design
But the place I keep you
Has an everglow
Safe from all the wearing
And the dust of the road

Eva Schubert Vancouver, British Columbia
Jazz vocalist and songwriter Eva Schubert is a fresh new voice. Her sound blends seamlessly with the classic style of jazz greats like Helen Mirrell, Peggy Lee, and Nat King Cole. Her sound has been compared to the sultry, seductive style of Sade and Julie London. While she is firmly rooted in jazz, genre borders blur in some of her music, which is at once familiar and totally original. ... more
