lyrics

Why walk when you can fly
Why weep when you can cry
Cry for joy or cry for pain
Nothing will ever be the same (again)

Why climb when you can soar
Why whine when you can roar
Roar with rage or roar with laughter
Let everybody know what you are after

MAKE YOUR JOY MAKE YOUR JOY CONTAGIOUS

Why talk when you can sing
Why fall when you can spring
Borrow my joy, lend me your sorrow
We're here today and gone tomorrow

Why wait to see life go
When everybody knows
The way ahead is steep and long
Make every step into a song

MAKE YOUR JOY MAKE YOUR JOY CONTAGIOUS

Nobody can tell you what to do
There’s no one else to be when you are you

Why break when you can mend
Why save when you can spend
Spend a day or spend a lifetime
to find right now’s the only right time

Why sit when you can stand
Why stand when you can dance
Put up your hands and let your hair down
Let us be friends and share the stage now

MAKE YOUR JOY MAKE YOUR JOY CONTAGIOUS

about

Melon Coke Brussels, Belgium

On the verge of midlife crisis, Melon Coke muses over the virtues of married life, missed opportunities and mitochondria. Shakespeare said it best: "with mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage". In Melon's translation: "make your joy contagious".

Currently working on an album of collaborations album in which each song is chosen by the fans.
