As a boy I always dreamt Of a girl as sweet as you And when I found you I knew it was fate That I’d grow old with you When we’re old we’ll be together each day When we’re old and grey When we’re old we can find our own way When we’re old and grey As a man I try my best To give you all you need And when I see you with a glint in your eye I know that I succeed I know life is hard Away from your home But keep in your heart That I’ll grow old with you When we’re old we’ll be together each day When we’re old and grey When we’re old we can find our own way When we’re old and grey Now we’ve been together so long I know my dream’s come true And we’ll keep on living our life Together through and through When we’re old we’ll be together each day When we’re old and grey When we’re old we can find our own way When we’re old and grey When we’re old we’ll be together each day When we’re old and grey When we’re old we can find our own way When we’re old and grey

A cold day it was A little snow in the air Didn’t know what would come But I knew that was prepared I put that bow tie on With a glint in my eye Grabbed a drink real quick About to do what I’d never dared I walked down to the street And saw the long red car With a jump in my heart I got in to begin my ride The fireworks they cracked And filled the air with smoke I sang to get in We took a step to be side by side That limosusine, that red limousine, it drove me to my girl That limousine, that red limousine, it put me in a twirl That limousine, that red limousine, it drove me to my girl That limousine, that red limousine, it put me in a twirl That limousine, that red limousine, it drove me to my girl That limousine, that red limousine, it put my in a twirl, put me in a twirl, it put me in a twirl High, it really pushed me High, I tried not to Cry, in that limousine that took me to the sky Red limousine, Red limousine, Red limousine, Red limousine.

Wonder 04:40
Do you ever wonder if this life would be the same? If you didn’t want to keep playing this old game? Do you ever wonder if your life could change for good? If you really want it to, it could. You don’t need to wonder if my love for you will wane I’ll stay with you and keep you sane I always wonder what you ever saw in me, Always thought that you’d want to break on free. I still wonder why you’ve stayed with me so long I’m so glad I was so wrong. I don’t need to wonder if my love for you will wane I’ll stay with you and keep you sane Can we now wonder what the future holds for us? Every day with you is a very special plus. We can wonder if our life would be the same, But it’s only you I need in this game. You don’t need to wonder if my love for you will wane I’ll stay with you and keep you sane You don’t need to wonder if my love for you will wane I’ll stay with you and keep you sane

Wise Up 03:28
You make a noise and it always hurts I don’t know why you’re in my life You think it’s cool, but it’s always forced I don’t want you in my life You’re outdated, and overrated You spout your garbage not knowing that you’re hated Wise up or you will feel the pain You wear your smirk and you look around I don’t know why you’re in my life Behind our backs, you take your pound I don’t want you in my life You’re fixated, when we’re elated You write your garbage not knowing that you’re hated Wise up or you will feel the pain If you don’t wise up, you’re gonna see The kinda person I don’t wanna be Wise up so the truth can set you free I made the choice to put you out the back I don’t know why you’re in my life I won’t allow you to keep up the attack I don’t want you in my life You’re overrated, and so outdated I won’t let the garbage make me feel your hatred Wise up or you will feel the pain If you don’t wise up, you’re gonna see The kinda person I don’t wanna be If you don’t wise up, you’re gonna see The kinda person I don’t wanna be Wise up so the truth can set you free I’ll never go to your level You’ll never be at my level It’ll be done before you try If you don’t wise up, you’re gonna see The kinda person I don’t wanna be If you don’t wise up, you’re gonna see The kinda person I don’t wanna be If you don’t wise up, you’re gonna see The kinda person I don’t wanna be If you don’t wise up, you’re gonna see The kinda person I don’t wanna be Wise up so the truth can set you free

The way she moves, it puts me in a groove She shakes her hips and I need to kiss her lips She winks her eye, I cannot pass it by I love the way she moves When I see her you know I can’t think straight I run to her like a bull at a gate And when I find her, the world begins to spin You’ll see me there with the stupidest grin I pull her close and can smell her sweet perfume I hope she’ll never leave me in this room These words are corny but it’s the way that I feel I love the way she moves The way she moves, it puts me in a groove She shakes her hips and I need to kiss her lips She winks her eye, I cannot pass it by I love the way she moves When I hear her you know my heart beats quick I move to her and make it seem so slick And when she’s near me, the air begins to thin You’ll see my face with the cheesiest grin She leans on in and whispers in my ear I hope she’ll be there, forever in my sphere These words are corny but it’s the way that I feel I love the way she moves The way she moves, it puts me in a groove She shakes her hips and I need to kiss her lips She winks her eye, I cannot pass it by I love the way she moves The way she moves, it puts me in a groove She shakes her hips and I need to kiss her lips She winks her eye, I cannot pass it by I love the way she moves The way she moves, it puts me in a groove She shakes her hips and I need to kiss her lips She winks her eye, I cannot pass it by I love the way she moves The way she moves, it puts me in a groove She shakes her hips and I need to kiss her lips She winks her eye, I cannot pass it by I love the way she moves I love the way she moves

I look into your eyes I see into your soul I listen to your words I hear you speak your goal I want to be with I tell you every day You want to be with me I need to hear you say You push me hard, try to push me away But it pulls me in, and that’s where I’m gonna stay You look into my eyes You see inside my soul You listen to my words Don’t wanna hear my goal You want to be with me But don’t tell me what is real I want to be be with you So why not make a deal You push me hard, try to push me away But it pulls me in, and that’s where I’m gonna stay You push me hard, try to push me away But it pulls me in, and that’s where I’m gonna stay Don’t push me now, I’m gonna lose my mind, right now Can’t leave you all behind, no way Don’t You know I’m here to stay You push me hard, try to push me away But it pulls me in, and that’s where I’m gonna stay You push me hard, try to push me away But it pulls me in, and that’s where I’m gonna stay I’ll pull you in Always make you feel so good, I’ll win Never leave you all behind, no way Don’t you know I’m here to stay

When you’re young, and you don’t know how to live You do those things, that will take but never give You don’t think that one day, you will need a friend Only things that fill, your greed until the end Those Ghosts of your past will come to you Always thinking of, what will make you smile You never dream that you’ll, need to run that mile There comes a time, when you’ll need to think some more You gotta think, or you’ll never square the score Those ghosts of your past will get you in the end And strike you down to make you make amends They’ll come to you Take the time, to wrangle your past sins And right the wrongs, to get back your angel wings There’s always time, to make a better life Don’t let those ghosts, haunt your afterlife Those ghosts of your past will get you in the end And strike you down to make you make amends They’ll come to you Don’t let those ghosts, take you off your line Don’t let those ghosts, begin to eat your time Don’t let those ghosts, take you off your line Don’t let those ghosts, they’ll get you every time

She’s got these eyes, and they look like they’re on fire They pull me in and give me all I desire She looks at me and I walk a little higher My little dragon girl She’s got a smile, that’s as sweet as a papaya It gives me hope when the world just seems so dire She smiles at me and I feel a little brighter My little dragon girl And you will see, me always in a twirl Because I’ve caught my little dragon girl My pride and joy is living with this pearl She’ll always be my little dragon girl She’s got this walk, that will make me walk beside her Bouncing along, like no other in my prior She walks to me, and I sing like in the choir My little dragon girl She’s got my love, of which I will never tire Got my heart, so I live a little lighter I love her so, and this love just won’t retire My little dragon girl. And you will see, me always in a twirl Because I’ve caught my little dragon girl My pride and joy is living with this pearl She’ll always be my little dragon girl Trumpet / Guitar solo My life is blessed by you The answer to my clue You’ll never need to stew My little dragon girl My little dragon Little dragon girl My little dragon Little dragon girl

about

Wondering is Mikey J’s 6th studio album, written, recorded and mixed within a month as part of the Lights & Lines #albumwritingclub challenge where artists were challenged to make an album in a month!

Lead single My Little Dragon Girl won Best Single by public vote in the competition, and knowing how good the entire album was we HAD to release it on Lights And Lines!

Glorious guitar driven indie, pop, blues and even a bit of ska come together on this fantastic piece of work, underpinned by Mikey J's talented musicianship and keen ear for catchy melodies.

Wonder and The Way She Moves are complete re-workings of unfinished tracks from Mikey's vast archive of penned music. Adding lyrics where there were none, bringing new verses to the table, and changing up the instrumentation to breathe new life into unfinished ideas and complete the album. When We’re Old is also a cover of a track of the same name from Mikey’s previous album, By Your Side.

Every purchase includes a downloadable lyric book including time and key signatures for those who want to try and play along at home!

about

Mikey J Melbourne, Australia

I’m just a dude who loves music. A multi-instrumentalist out of Melbourne, Australia. My songs are a mix of rock, blues, folk, funk and indie music, inspired by the great songwriters of bygone days and my family and experiences. I’m unsigned and write, perform and record everything on a (too) simple setup at home. I hope you enjoy listening to my tracks as much as I enjoy making them. ... more
