Hooked 04:14
Hooked - West Bolz 5/2011 I got the hook / She‵s got the line I‵m on the clock / She‵s got the time I got a fever / She is the cure She is my baby / And that‵s for sure She‵s got the wood / To start my fire She is the wheels / And I‵m the tires She‵s got the rhythm / I‵ve got the blues She everything / I don‵t wanna lose Gotta get get get Gotta get your love Cause you‵re the one I‵ve been dreaming of You kept me waiting Time after time Now we‵re together And you‵re all mine I played guitar / She was a singer I put the ring / Around her finger My girl is smooth / My girl is fine Our love together / Is so divine We got the gig / We made the band We made them dance dance dance / Across the land They got the fortune / They got the fame We got the blessing / In the good Lord‵s name

Essence II 03:55
Something so smooth about the way you move Something about your rhythm makes me groove Something about your smile just drives me wild Everything about you got so much style You’re so fine, I’ve got to kiss you twice Like sugar and spice with everything nice You are my drug and I am a junkie Cause you can make me calm, or crazy like a monkey I’d like to be a king, but I am just a pauper I don’t have a yacht, a mansion or a chopper All I can give you is respect and love These are the things I have plenty of I love the essence The essence of you, my love I love the essence The essence of you You’re like a good book I just can’t put down A history, a mystery that keeps me spellbound Things that you do and things that you say Excite my nights and fulfill my days Like a ray of sunshine dancing on a lake Like a starlit dream, though I’m still awake Like the sweetest fruit on the tip of my tongue You’re the greatest opera that’s yet to be sung I’d spoil you rotten if I had the chance With slow dance and romance in the south of France But all I can give you is respect and love These are the things I have plenty of I love the essence The essence of you, my love I love the essence The essence of you All I can give you is respect and love These are the things I have plenty of

Veronica 03:46
Veronica - West Bolz 8/27/2011 A C#m Why do we have these explosions? F#m D I didn't even know there was a flame A C#m Everytime we meet there's a commotion Bm E Girl don't you know you're driving me insane We met in dubious circumstances Firewater, waltzes and slow dances You had left your caution at the door In your zoo the lions began to roar G A C#m Lay your burden down Veronica G A E The key is right there in your hand G A C#m I know you're hurting now Veronica Bm Dm One day you'll understand Some things are best left undiscovered Some things wash away in the rain You may find your solace in another Here I feel you're singing in the pain Expectation isn't but a shadow Running from the dawn's amber light Forgotten fields of plenty they lie fallow Waiting for the seeds to make them right Chorus Bridge F#m D Dm I can't fix all the broken pieces Of your puzzled landscape of desire When you find the answer it releases All the power coming down from higher

Red Wine and Chocolate - West Bolz 12/19/2010 2/4 || G | Em7 | G | Em7 | G | Em7 | C | D11 || Red wine and chocolate Just me and you No need to worry now baby Cause I know kung fu Turn off the TV Sit for a spell What's on your mind girl? Can you show and tell? || C | G | Em7 | C | F9 | Em11 | Eb | % || Red wine and chocolate Not quite taboo I'm no poet But was that haiku? Pictures of memories We have yet seen Please tell me this babe Is it all a dream? Whispers of sweet words Fall on your ears Always together Thru laughter and tears Red wine and chocolate Not quite taboo Warmed up together In my cool igloo An igloo made for too, my boo || BbM7 | Gm | EbM7 | Cm7 F7 :|| It was nighttime, it was the right time For love was in the air First you hook me, then you took me and you shook me Red wine and chocolate Not quite taboo You be my sunshine I'll be your guru

Round and Round - West Bolz 9/2/2009 A boy at the beach built the Taj Mahal A bully came by and knocked down it all The boy was crushed, he sat down and cried Til a pretty little girl came by his side She took him by the hand and said it’s OK Just forget about it, let’s go and play When the castle made of sand fell into the sea She looked me in the eye and said to me The makers make, and the breakers break And the fixers fix what the breakers shake And it keeps on going round and round Some days it’s up and some days it’s down And you may wish that it all would end But it just started all over again Cause the makers make, the breakers break And the fixers fix what the breakers shake A young man made a truly rocking band And they were number one all across the land Another man said I wanna be number one And he met him on the street and showed him his gun He pulled the trigger and the man he died And people round the world fell down and cried Cause if you need seven and you’ve only got six There are some things baby that you just can’t fix Chorus An ancient city was built of stone and glass Halfway in the future, halfway in the past Another city said we think that they could be trouble So they sent out all their bombers and turned it all to rubble They brought their own fixers, it was all renewed They made a lot of money and the people got screwed When the breakers run the show, then you better know You gotta make way cause the story goes…

Cinderella 04:04
She was standing over there Then vanished into thin air Looked all around for a clue All I found was a crystal shoe I searched the country far and wide To find the girl who would be my bride Looked in the basements and the rafters For my happily ever after CHORUS: Cinderella where can you be? You should be here next to me All my kingdom I would share Just to run my fingers through your hair Cinderella where did you go? I pray to God some day I'll know Maybe you'll come back to me And set my poor heart ...free Through the snow and through the rain I traveled towards my cure for pain Round in circles did I tread Lost inside my foggy head Nothing was as it seemed Was it all someone's dream I wrote in prose and sang in rhyme About my once upon a time

about

This is an acoustic collection of my songs. Most are fun pop tunes, a couple are melancholic. Just some easy listening from West. If you want something harder, check out my album, Radiocity. Also check out my Latin album, El Contrato, with Venezuelan singer, Carina, by clicking the 'Recommendations' link to the right. Ask me about live performances, solo or with one of my bands listed at www.zolana.com. Cheers, West.
