(WITH) SO MUCH IN THE WORLD With so much in the world And so little time Why can't we Love a little longer With so much in the world And so little time Why can't we Love a little stronger Why are your bags always packed for the future When you're still running from today You got your train rides You got your self pride But are you happy on the other side With so much in the world And so little time Why can't we Love a little longer With so much in the world And so little time Why can't we Love a little stronger Why are your bags always packed for tomorrow When you still live in yesterday We need love right now We're shouting out loud Cause we gotta get the point across to you somehow Why can't we try Why can't we Try With so much in the world And so little time Why can't we Love a little longer With so much in the world And so little time Why can't we Love a little stronger

Victrola 03:32
I want to swim through you, Flow through your veins, Be your first breath of fresh air, Your ledge in the rain, I'm your first thought, And the last dream on your mind. I don't need another metaphor to tell me how you feel, I don't need nothing like photographs, I just need what is real, I want to walk with you, Through space and time. I wanna hold ya, Let's dance to our favorite song. I want a Sunday morning with nothing to do, And no where to go but I'm right here with you, And the only decision I have to make in my life… Is to swim through you, Flow through your veins, Be your first breath of fresh air, Your ledge in the rain, I'm your first thought, And the Last dream on your mind. I wanna hold ya Let's dance to our favorite song

No Mexico 04:00
Shoplift on the day shift Everyday feels different No ticket no future no good sense No more mistakes Wrapped like a dead fish Between newspaper stacks No mexico no another state no nothing That I haven't dreamed Everybody's gone a bit too far No one's got the strength just to say it It's a typical work thing Somebody gets fucked No refund no sevice no questions asked Unless you buy coffee Long lengthy discussions Just waiting to get a word in No edgewise no opportunity no nothing That I haven' t dreamed Everybody's gone a bit too far No one's got the strength just to say it While art, don't imitate life It surely somehow can persuade it

Atom Bomb 04:27
You know that it's right You know all the answers Talk, talk all night, But you take no chances I know there's some light Shed on both our heads You take all the night and hold it in both hands Right down the middle seam you Split like an atom bomb Pages in between are burned No evidence of the song No evidence of anything wrong You play all your cards While I've got the aces So when you lose The empty replaces I know that it's hard, But it's not the only Ray left from a star You'll never be lonely Right down the middle seam you Split like an atom bomb Pages in between are burned No evidence of the song

It could've been anyone but I'm so glad it was you I couldn't see anything but you put it all right in front of me, showed it to me differently Now I could be anything and you'd still love me the same And sometimes I forget how hard it is to play this game But you showed me all the rules You were the coolest guy in school and I was the only one who knew Now All that I want for you to do Is to let me love you Now I know exactly what to do And I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you Don't think I could love you more Now I know the last thing you would do Is to take credit for what belongs to you You know you could've been anyone You were the coolest guy in school I was the only one who knew Now All that I want for you to do Is to let me love you

Where are we going? I'm taking you home There's no way of knowing, how long we've been gone. Don't tell me your whole life's, story because No one else is listening to you When you're a child of television Eyes wide straight ahead Watch the line that's drawn in the sand And when, you turn your head You become the antenna, to the sun When you're a child of television Wanna know where you're going, Wanna know where you been, What's inside your pocket, What's around the bend? Night time is so cold Watch our breath make clouds in the sky And while we get so old We watch everyone else stay 21 When you're a child of television Cause you're a child of television You're a...

Take away wind Take away Heat Take in the view All I see is you From wall to wall Open my window there you are Out on the highway in my car You'll be just standing where you are Light hits you In a different way At the same time Each and every day And every time I see A different you Summer is here and so are you What shall we do? Ride until we get so far gone? Or even into the next song?

Another Sky 04:02
Another sky Opens the eye Into the world we all wish we had A day goes by Turns into night Around the world passers by are, holding hands It could be like laser beams It could be like angel wings Tonight, in the light, of you Into the sea Flow all the tears From round the world, they all gotta go somewhere So in the night Everything goes right What if the world just says who cares? It could be like shooting stars Crashing up expensive cars Tonight in the light of you It could be like shooting stars Crashing up expensive cars Tonight in the light of you It could be like laser beams It could be like angel wings Tonight, in the light, of you

Give It Up 03:32
Glued to that pay phone by the bathroom on the third floor How many more times can you listen to the same score Never ever let the opposite get in control you'll lose your soul or something like that you were told, in middle school Give it up Give it back It won't hurt you none Give out all your numbers so you don't miss the big one It's just as easy walking when you wind up in the last run Never ever let 'em hesitate you make 'em think that waiting for the second beat is pure genius in song Give it up Give it back It won't hurt you none Round and round the pieces circle Until they finally… Fit into each other like they were supposed to you've just spent the past twenty years of your life, resisting peace Give it up Give it back It won't hurt you none Why don't you see what you can do to find the time to make it up inside your mind and give it up, give it back...

Smear 02:11
Maybe I could smear my face Slide down a pole fly over space Out of the nest and somewhere else I could forget all about myself Maybe I could change my ways Be unrecognizable in the shade Under big brother's microscope Couldn't be found I'd be on my own With the blink of an eye I'll cure the blind I'll be a hero of the humankind
12.
In from the country By the way of a reccommend Listening to records on our elbows And sleeping in paradise In the shade of silver maple trees Dreaming about living the dream It's just like it's just what it seems Well you're free from your home You can do it alone You can be on your own Alright alright Well your free You can do it all alone You can be on your own

about

"This grown-up pop-rock concoction plays to Falkow's strengths - her fluid, multi-octave, chameleonlike voice and smart, intriguing lyrics. Arrangements are unusually varied, and the production is always tasteful. The whole thing goes down like butter."
- Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News

about

Nancy Falkow County Wicklow, Ireland

As a solo artist, I made several records with brilliant musicians and producers in Philadelphia. I toured. Some of my songs ended up on TV & in Film.

2004 I moved to Ireland, 2005 I got married & in 2006 I had a beautiful baby girl. I move fast.

In 2008 I released an album with Sunflow, and our song "I Wish You Love," got lots of love.

Thanks for joining me on the ride...It ain't over yet.
