When I Found You
Written by D. Drouillard
Performed by Johnny Favourite on The Tonight Album
Well, you know there are some things I say
And sometimes I wish they'd go away
'Cause sometimes my words go astray
I guess you've heard
You know there's something else that I've found
It seems my foot's in my mouth more than it's on the ground
And I wander why you've keep me around
For so long
You know how to make me smile
For more than a little while
And you hurt me, but I liked your style
When I found you
I'm watching my step as I go
So pardon me if I tend to go slow
You can never be too careful, you know
I know you know
You know how to make me smile
For more than a little while
And you hurt me but I liked your style
When I found you
You don't know how much more you can take
But it seemed like such a little mistake
And I'm trying hard to plead my case
Well maybe I should just shut my face
Cause you know how to make me smile
For more than a little while
And you hurt me but I like your style
When I found you

I Want You Back
Written by D. Baxter & S. Kean
Performed by Johnny Favourite on The Tonight Album
By the time you said you loved me
I had turned my back
I spent so long waiting
What kind of love is that?
So I go find a new one
I hear the things you do
So what's this bitter feeling?
When I see that boy with you
Chorus: I want, I want, I want
And I want and I want
And I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
I see you from a distance
He's pulling out your chair
In my imagination
You're pulling out his hair
C'mon babe come off it
We've both been there before
Second class emotion
Ain't what you're lookin' for
Chorus
Do you really find it thrilling
Holding someone new?
Have you found your freedom
Or another point of view?
C'mon babe come off it
We've both been there before
Second class emotion
Not what you're lookin' for
Chorus

The Things I Say
Written by J. Favourite & D. Baxter
Performed by Johnny Favourite on The Tonight Album
The things I say
By design are to hurt you
The things I say
Are unkind and untrue
Faking out on you
Searching for a way to prove
The things I say
Are meant to push you away
You don't deserve a boy
Like me to misuse you
Cause you to say I'm dumb
And blind and lose you
Searching for a way to leave you
Finally found that way through
The things I say
Will get me what I wish for
I don't wanna have you
Feeling sorry for my train-wreck
Baby it's wrong that you pay
For my mistakes
Drinking in the memory of
Someone who was there for me
Because of these silly things I say
Look through your glass
See that I've been there
Faking out on you
Searching for a way to prove
The things I said
Got me what I wished for
The things I say are meant
To push you, push you away

Grew up joking
With little respect for myself
We had bonfires on Parlee Beach
Covered bridge
St John's, Newfoundland
Ya 29, got drunk on screech
Someday, someday
Someday, I'll do it again
Someday, someday
Someday, I don't know when
Had a cowboy friend
The name of Bradley
Drank too much in Nassau Beach
Poor guy he got so loaded
Could hardly walk
Not even speak
On a permanent vacation
With my eleven friends
Someday, someday
Someday, I'll see them again
Someday, someday
Someday, I don't know when
Met a girl in Toledo Ohio
Super sweet, I loved her so
Wanted to take her
To the Rocky Mountains
Well maybe someday, we will go
On a permanent vacation
With my eleven friends
Someday, someday
Someday, I'll see them again
Someday, someday
Someday, I don't know when
Someday . . .

Always Coming Home
Written by D. Drouillard
Performed by Johnny Favourite on The Tonight Album
Three long weeks along this ruthless road
Through this landscape, I've admired
My body's begging for a moment's rest
And my suitcase is looking tired
Wondering when we'll get back home
All that's to be taken care of everyday
Little time allowed for me
I'm living on caffeine and alcohol
And these cigarettes are killing me
I'm hoping soon we'll get back home
I know I can be distant
Even when I'm right there
And though I never stay too long
I'm always coming home
Chorus again
The crowd last night reminded me
Why I journey these roads everyday
The show back home was less than inspiring
It was just like I'd never gone away
Chorus
I'm not saying, I'm not saying
I don't love you
I'm not saying, I'm not saying
I don't love you
I'll try to be a better man
A better man for you

Is That All Right?

Performed by Johnny Favourite on The Tonight Album
My hands are tied my heart is tired
I can't resist advances
The times I lied the way you cried
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry I hurt you
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
That I made you cry
I cheated on you
Every chance I had
Still in my own sick way
I was always true to you
I always knew
That we'd be through
Cause that's what your friends told you
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
That I lied
I lied, I lied

You And I, I And You
Written by D. Fitzgerald & E. Landry
Performed by Johnny Favourite on The Tonight Album
I knew the first time I met you
I would always with you
You and I, I and You
The sun shines everyday when you're around anyway
I can't lose my sunshine
Always cloudy always gray
When will we both agree?
Our love was meant to be
Your scared to admit you see
That right here is where you belong
So darling, let me hold you till the morning
Let's forget about the bad things
Say you'll stay, say you'll stay
When will we both agree?
Our love was meant to be
Your scared to admit you see
That right here is where you belong
So kiss me
Hold my hand and say
That you'll always miss me
You and I, I and You
You and I, I and You

Media Darling
Written by D. Fitzgerald, D. Drouillard, J, Favourite, D. Baxter
Performed by Johnny Favourite on The Tonight Album
The radio was reminiscing
They played them all from '83
The DJ couldn't figure out
When it was you ceased to be
The daily news was disagreeing
They put it on the inside cover page
They shot you at the premier
With someone half your age
Media darling
Media darling
Those lights don't burn so bright
Now you're all grown up
But I can never forget my shining star
I saw you on the television
You talked about your sordid past
How you were so misunderstood
They knew you wouldn't last
Media darling
Media darling
Those lights are hard to see
When they shut you down
There's nothing sadder in this world
Than a fading star
The radio was reminiscing
They played them all from '83
The DJ couldn't figure out
When it was you ceased to be
Hang the DJ
Media darling
Media darling
Those lights are hard to see
When they shut you down
There's nothing sadder in this world
Than a fading star

Inside Out
Written by Dean Drouillard
Performed by Johnny Favourite on The Tonight Album
Last night I walked downtown in the rain
Feeling lonely and a little bit ashamed
Because you made me feel so good
A couple of nights before
So good, I just had to have some more
You know you make me tipsy
You're so easy to see through
Chorus: Can't do this forever
I haven't a doubt
Feels great when I'm with you
But you're killing me inside out
I sat with you all night at the bar
I never planned on going that far
But you glistened and seduced
With elegance unsurpassed
And all this coming from your glass
How could I say no to you then?
You can come on a little strong
But we seem to get along
Chorus
Have I shaken you?
Now I've stirred it again
I just don't know when to say when
Call me crazy but it's nice
When you're as cold as ice
'Cause when we're on the rocks
I feel I can love you
Again and again and again
Chorus out
