Find me on Facebook under Bruce Arnold-Orpheus. The lyrics to all the songs are printed below and in the cd booklet.
I can't thank my illustrious partners in this effort enough. Brad Delp was always an angel. Bernard Purdie, who did virtually all the drumming on Orpheus albums, also sings here for the first time on record. Orpheus bassist Howie Hersh also always knew exactly what to sing or play every time. Japan's premiere jazz arranger Tiger Okoshi invented such a careful, thoughtful touch. Elliot Sherman's keyboards helped knit it all together, and with respect to John Arnold...it's a very good thing that he can remember how to play and sing everything.

1. Playground
We'll have luncheon in New York
Then fly to Maine and find a hideaway
Or any time of year
We can play along the esplanade
And hear the fine music from the Shell
People sit for hours
Because it's played so well
And it pays to know Cambridge well
In love with life in town
Find the King and I
We'll be there at table number nine
The Prince on Newbury suits me fine
Boston DJs seem able to read my mind
Take the noon ferry to the Vines
Let's go, let's stop, unwind
Sweet summer treats in the Park
Beat summer heat after dark
Brave the new culture underground
You can park your car
Or travel round and round
To the true future wonders found
In love with life in town
Bim bam boom bum ba
Let's forget about it all
Bim bam boom bum ba
Just forget about it all
2. The Glow of Love
Have I been going crazy?
Have I been seeing things?
Or have you overwhelmed me
And I didn't feel a thing?
You're smile, you're eyes
They hypnotize
You show the glow of love
You have made my mind up
I'm thoroughly convinced
You knew that we would wind up
As much in love as this
//You're charm, you're style
Disarm, beguile
You're warm, you glow of love//
The best of all the women
You've turned this man around
All my wheels have stopped spinning
I've come to settle down
You wise, you're kind
You read my mind
You show the glow of love
3. It's Insane
Sex is such a silly thing
But it sure do cheer me up
You're such pretty thing
That I just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
Don'tmake promises, promises
Promises you can't keep
You make promises, yes, you did
Make it so I can't sleep, no
//Yes, you're such a pretty thing, pretty thing
Such a pretty thing, pretty thing//
//Don't you tease me, roll you're eyes and go away//
//It's insane and I can't explain
But I like it, yes, I like it//
In the middle of the night
It can sure get cold as ice
You make promises, promise
Promises you won't keep
All your promises, promises
Make it so I can't sleep. no
//// Yes, you're such a pretty thing, pretty thing////
//Don't you tease me, roll you're eyes and go away//
////It's insane and I can't explain
but I like it, I like it////
4. Can't Find the Time
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you
So many things to say, I could fit 'em in a book,
fit 'em in a book of a thousand pages, yeah.
So many people say that I couldn't tell a lie,
couldn't tell a lie in a thousand ages.
Baby you're wrong, baby you're wrong
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you
I look at your pretty face and I fall in love with you,
fall in love with you every time I see you, yeah.
Nightgowns of regal lace that are flowin' to the ground
flowin' to the ground in a mist around you.
Baby you're wrong, baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong, baby you're wrong
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you
////Ba da da da da da da////
5. Lonely
Are you lonely?
Are you all by yourself?
Does every man that you see
Remind you that we were together
Are you lonely, lonely tonight?
If you'd only
If you'd only see
If you'd only see, it's like I said it would be
and you're all alone
Yeah, you're lonely, lonely tonight
You sit at home
There's something wrong
You're on your own
But your man is gone
And where you going
With a face like that
Yeah, you told me
That you need to be free
But when will you see
You're meant to be my woman
Yeah, you're lonely, lonely, alright!
You sit at home
There's something wrong
You're on your own
But your man is gone
And where you going
With a face like that
Yeah, you're lonely
Cause you're meant to be my woman
Well, why can't you see
You're meant to be my woman
Yeah, you're lonely
Cause you're meant to be my woman
6. Round and Round
You say you love me and then you don't
You say you're willing and then you won't
All this confusion has got to go
This indecision, this I don't know, I don't know
//Round and round//
If you could be me, and I were you
Then you could see what it is you do
You're like a puzzle, a mystery
Why can't you let go and let it be, let it be
//Round and round//
What can I offer, what can I say?
What can I give you to take away
This apprehension, and your dismay?
Let's let our love take us far away, far away
///Round and round///
7. High Flying Bird
High flying bird
How am I going to catch up to you, now?
To see the world
From such a heavenly viewpoint
You fly so high
You're like a honeybee, oh
Everybody seems to be so peaceful
From up here
High flying bird
I'll leave it up to you how
True to your word
You lift me up to you, now
Will I grow wings?
Or will you carry me?
Oh, everything is effortless and easy
Everybody seems to be so peaceful
Flying bird
//High flying bird//
Everything is effortless and easy
Everybody seems to be so peaceful
Every breath I've taken made me feel full
Flying bird
8. You Say
You say it's all right
When we have a fight
You say it's okay
You do things your way
But if you leave me
I won't go on as before
If you deceive me, well
//What can I say?//
In my mind I'm trying
To be strong and stay
But if I find you're lying, well
//What can I say?//
You say it's all right
You say it's okay
First you're out all night
Then you're gone all day
Love's more than feeling
Love's more than sharing a bed
Or else you're stealing
//What can I say?//
In my mind I'm trying
To be strong and stay
But should I find you're lying
///What can I say?///
9. Cinnamon
Cin, Cin, Cinnamon that's for me
Just like any man, I concede
Yeah, she's got the winning ways
That makes you want to say
That you can't live a day without her
I like Cinnamon with my tea
We always get together 'ventually
Yeah, I got a tendency to fall
So every one can see
Because I just can't be without her
No one can tell me I'm wrong
We're truly growing as strong today
As yesterday
We two just fit together
Hand in glove and we're in love
I like Cinnamon and she likes me
But she likes everybody equally
Yeah, she's got things to see
She's even on TV
But she's got time for me tomorrow
No one can tell me I'm wrong
We're truly growing as strong today
Just like yesterday
We're as strong today
Just like yesterday
We two just fit together
Hand in glove and we're in love
I call Cinnamon on the phone
She always greets me with the sweetest tone
Yeah, she's got to harmonize
She sees a million miles
Yeah, she's got a permanent wave
She got people to save
But then Cinnamon stays with me
///Meow, bap ba da///
10. The Love Bite
I've got the Love bite
I'm not saying that I want it
I'm saying that I need to love right
You know how to feed it
You can make me plead for a Love bite
Turn off the bright light
All I want to see is light
coming off of me, I need a good night
If I can get to you, then what
you and I can do will make it alright
alright
//These things have a mind of their own
I'm in its way, I surrender
One sting and the love seed is sown
I'm on display//
Put up a hard fight
I'll still come out on top
There's nothin that can stop this appetite
//Love bite//
11. All of the Time
Six o'clock, I raise my head
Time to get up, get out of bed
But there by my pillow, a soft summer sigh
I try not to wake you but why shouldn't I 'cause
//All of the time, I love you //
All of the time, I love just you
Ten o'clock, I take my break
My time is important, but make no mistake
I'll pick the phone up just like yesterday
And you'll act surprised when you hear me say that
//All of the time, I love you//
All of the time, I love just you
And If I get home late 'cause the traffic's insane
You'll know I can't wait just to see you again
I'll hang my coat up and head straight for your arms
///We'll just start over again///
///All of the time, I love you///
