Make Some Noise 03:12
lyrics
Don't care what you say; I just want you to say it LOUD What it means doesn't matter as much as how it sounds Can't dance when it's quiet, need to turn it up Then we dance, dance 'til we drop And it's not about the moves, it's about having fun If you've got two left feet, it's not a problem So won't you join in with me And make some noise 'Cause we've got the time and we're going to make some We wanna dance, so we're going to make some We've got the voice so we're going to make some noise Make some noise Forget all your worries and feel the music You want to lose control, this is where to do it Jump around, move your feet, throw your arms up Keep it going, keep it going, never let up Call all your friends, tell them this is where you'll be And get your dancing shoes to put on your dancing feet There's a band over there say they're going To make some noise 'Cause we've got the time and we're going to make some We wanna dance, so we're going to make some We've got the voice so we're going to make some noise Make some noise Gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna make some... 'Cause we've got the time and we're going to make some We wanna dance, so we're going to make some We've got the voice so we're going to make some noise Make some noise We've got guitars and we're going to make some We've got the drums and we're going to make some We've got the voice so we're going to make some noise Make some noise

Wanna Be Your Girlfriend 02:12
lyrics
I bet a million stars couldn't shine as bright as you I bet a million dollars what I just said is true I bet that line will get me at least through the door But I'm hoping it will get me that and much more I know I kinda sound like a dude Running these cheesy lines past you I hope you don't think I'm too crude But I want to CHORUS Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Yeah it's true I really want you I've studied every angle so I would know the deal You like blue and blondes and brains, trucks, and Ferris wheels You don't like green, or garlic, or curls, or waiting in long lines But on a thing or two I hope I can change your mind I know I'm not tall or blonde But I'm gonna work it til you respond The reason why I'm telling you Is cause I want to CHORUS Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Yeah it's true I really want you Tell me if I'm wrong, but I feel a strange connection Gonna be hard to move on if I have to face rejection CHORUS Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Yeah it's true I really want to Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Wanna be Wanna be your girlfriend Yeah it's true I really want you

Never Wanna Be 03:29
lyrics
You see me coming and You turn away then I ask you why and You can't look at me You can't look at me CH And oh, you say that everything, everything changes and Oh, you say you never wanna be Never wanna be like me I ask you to stay the night I don't want to be alone You mutter some excuse And then you tell me And then you tell me CH And oh, you say that everything, everything changes and Oh, you say you never wanna be Never wanna be like me It's too late to tell me that It's too late to take it back It's too late to talk about trust It's too late to change your mind It's too late to tell me that It's too late to take it back It's too late It's too late CH And oh, you say that everything, everything changes and Oh, you say you never wanna be Oh, you say that everything, and everyone changes and Oh, you say you never wanna be Never wanna be like me

Superstar 03:00
lyrics
Hard not let them kick you when you're down Hard to stop the punches when you're lying on the ground You need to stand up tall and watch them run and hide Your self-respect is worth more than they are, baby You're going to fly out of the shadows You're going to be queen of all you see Pick it up, my darling Take a tip from me Don't you know that you are my superstar I will give you a hand, if you will take it from me You can lean on me 'til you can stand on your own two feet You will bounce right back, it's just a matter of time Your inspiration flows further than you could ever know You're going to fly out of the shadows You're going to be queen of all you see Pick it up, my darling Take a trip with me Don't you know that you are my superstar

Run Away With Me 03:56
lyrics
Run away with me Run away with me We always said we'd like to see the clear, blue ocean The only things stopping our dream are the laws of motion And the fact that we seem to lack ambition That's why I am bringing you this proposition Run away with me Run away with me We always said we'd like to leave to a deserted island And live there just us you & me where no one would find us I know that's a crazy kind of dream, but it sounds delicious And don't you think we need to be a little more ambitious Run away with me Run away with me We could stop wishing on 4 leaf clovers Wipe the slate clean and start all over Find us new jobs that we're not qualified for And live the way we wanna not like how we did before Run away with me Run away with me Run away with me Run away with me Run away with me Run away with me We always said we'd like to see The clear blue ocean

Extraordinary Girls 02:55
lyrics
Two kids, one dog, one ring Nothing wrong with that dream, but I never fantasized about my pure white wedding I never stuffed a pillow To see how I'd look prego I never set my sights on living with Apollo I always thought I might be more than ordinary In fact I thought I might just be extraordinary I see me living free And I see me and you Living like we Always wanted to Being extraordinary girls I know a lot of girls Whose husbands are their worlds They love to play house and wear little white pearls I would not hesitate To argue or debate That they feel great living in such a happy state I always thought that might be a little boring In fact I think I'd like to be a little more exploring I see me living free And I see me and you Living like we Always wanted to Being extraordinary girls Extraordinary Strong and smart and on our own Nothing wrong with trying to be Like yourself not just anyone They say it goes tick tock I must not have a clock I've never had the urge to get myself knocked up Can't be the only one Who's marching to this drum I never wanted to hear kids calling me Mom Some people think that's just crazy and out of the ordinary But I think girls like me are extraordinary I see me living free And I see me and you Living like we Always wanted to Just being ourselves Living like no one else Just being extraordinary girls

So Wrong 03:00
lyrics
I knew when I first saw you; the way that you could draw me in Make me feel Could be some big mistake; a little complicated Oh so wrong And I want you And I want you Your sweet voice makes me shiver; I can't help but give Myself to you Your burning eyes ignite me; your touch electrifies But it's oh so wrong And I want you And I want you And I try to fight it and I try do right and try to be a better women than I am I try not to be weak and not to give in and I try not to let you into my head But you're driving me crazy; I don't know if you even mean all the things that you say Can't help but feeling it means more to me than it ever could to you And I want you And I want you....

Wring Me Out 03:41
lyrics
Wring me out And hang me dry Wring me out And hang me dry Why should I be mad Why should I be sad Why should I expect more from you When this is what you always do Wring me out And hang me dry Why should I ever cry Why should I even try Why should I think you might stop using me If you give me salt every time I'm thirsty I may not be here when you come back for me I may not be here when you come back for me I will cry, but I will not fear you, will not fear you I will try to be strong Wring me out And hang me dry Why should I give you more Why should I be the one who hits the floor Why should I have to submit When you don't respect me one single bit Wring me out And hang me dry

Nobody's Girl 03:25
lyrics
Something strange going on - my mind is racing You’re like no-one I’ve ever met; And no-one else can compare - oh Can’t say quite what it is, and I don't know what to do You push, you pull you kill me, every time I’m near you -oh I know you’re nobody’s girl but I’d like to move a little closer Take me into your arms You keep me running back to you Make me come undone Then you leave me begging for more I wonder if you know, the effect you have on me Wonder if you can see how you tear me apart - oh Maybe it’s all just fun; just a game to you Honestly, I don’t mind; I’ll play whatever you want to I know you’re nobody’s girl But I’d like to move a little closer Take me into your arms You keep me running back to you Make me come undone Then you leave me begging for more You have your way every time I see you Do you even know what you do Girl I'm dying, trying to get through If I had my say, we'd jump off this roller coaster And we'd steadily drift closer But you're nobody's girl Oh...... I wanna move a little closer Take me into your arms You keep me running back to you Make me come undone Then you leave me begging for more

The Dream's On Me 04:28
lyrics
Fate, don't bother me I got my own dream I don't need you messing with me Fate don't bring me down I ain't gonna mess around I don't need you to carry me on your merry-go-round CHORUS I gotta dream I gotta dream I can be anything Fate can't you see Can't you see The dream's on me This ain't my first rodeo This ain't my last picture show I got this all under control I got this locked and loaded So Fate can't tell me my time's foreboded I ain't got no time to wait for Fate to notice me CHORUS I gotta dream I gotta dream I can be anything Fate can't you see Can't you see The dream's on me Mama says I got it all so wrong Says it's written in the stars Yeah, she says that we can't change the future But I ain't standing for that No, no, no no no... Fate, you're the crazy one Cause I ain't gonna be outdone I'm getting my time in the sun Fate, you can move along Can't you see I'm strong And I surely don't need you to show me how I'm wrong CHORUS I gotta dream I gotta dream I can be anything Fate can't you see Can't you see The dream's on me I gotta dream I gotta dream I can be anything Fate can't you see Can't you see The dream's on me

Just Fall 03:44
lyrics
Distant heights and star lights trapped in your eyes Tell the entire story, it took you by surprise You have fear But dear CH Just fall Let me catch you baby Just fall Let go now baby Just fall Don't you trust me baby Just fall The way you look at me speaks volumes about what's happened to you I can see in your eyes, all the things that you've been through But I'm here for you and Don't you know that you can CH Just fall Let me catch you baby Just fall Let go now baby Just fall Don't you trust me baby Just fall Give in, believe in more than what you see Oh, my darling, you can put your faith in me Fly through the air, feel the wind and know I'll be there To catch you on the way---- There's no need to be afraid--- Just fall...

about

This album is a true trans-Atlantic production. Val lives in Texas. Helen in England. After meeting and collaborating on several songs during FAWM, they came to realize that musically, they live on the same street. The natural conclusion was to make an album together. Song files were independently created in Texas and London, bounced back and forth across the ocean, and eventually formed into a 13 track album called Extraordinary Girls.

So what happens when two extraordinary chick musicians decide to make some noise? Listen and find out.
