Madame G's business card from when she was just starting out, making her way in the world by singing Sing-O-Grams.
Madame G's first single, written about losing love and how painful it can be to move on. It is also used as a reference to drug addictions and how hard it is to overcome them.
La, la, oh, di, da
Can't keep telling me baby
Cause I love ya
It's time that we finally
Decide to get our own lives
Mine's sitting on the porch
Wonderin' where I went
You stole me away from who-o-o I am-m-m
Baby I keeping buying you
And I can't keep myself from saying that I'm busy lovin' you
I don't love ya baby
Oh, la di da ah hey-ey-ey
So go away, if I say-ay-ay
Mayb-ay-ay I won't let the needle in
To keep the pain away from no end
Not that it'll keep us from fallin' back to the start
Singing songs and lovin' the enemy
You hypnotize me, can't I say
Now as you melt away into my veins
Pulsing through my brains
Why-y-y-y can't you see
I'm an addict through and through
Met and stopped and stared
Not believing what needle just pierced our skin
Oh baby, hey-ey-ey can't we just stay away
But I keep pulling and you're pushing and now we're sitting stuck without the perfection
I don't love ya baby
Oh, la di da ah hey-ey-ey
So go away, if I say-ay-ay
Mayb-ay-ay we could try again
Not that it'll keep us from fallin' back to the start
Kiss me slowly
As I slip away to another world
Where we can love each other
Without poisoning our lives
But we can't stop, cause it's toxic
And I'm addicted
Kiss me slowly
As I slip into another world
Where we can love each other
Without poisoning our lives
But we can't stop, cause its toxic
And I'm addicted
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
I love you more than an-n-ny-thang
But I can't let myself give in
Now that you're gone
I have to mo-oo-oo-ve right on
Without you
Without y-o-o-ou-u
Madame G's second single, that she released at a back to back two day concert.
The stars alone
Couldn't help save me
Because I'm already too far gone
I sit, staring at the pictures that have already passed
Ripping them up just cause I'm not that fast
And I burn the memories
Knowing the smiles aren't real
Cause when the world is made of circles and dimes
Life is plain fantasy
Help me find something real
Something fake
Something I can claim as mine
Cause the world's missing the broken pieces
We're already aged past this fantasy
Where I curl up and claim you as mine
We're circles being paid with dimes
Filling the gaps, leaving mine
Help save me
As the sky collides
Thinking maybe we aren't just circles and dimes
When that's all life has to offer
You're just a circle in a world of mine
And I love you, can't help but miss you
Cause you only hated me when I told you the truth
And the image isn't made of me for you sir, sleuth
Cause I'm passed from you
The stars alone
Couldn't help save me
Because I'm already too far gone
To a time where you loved me and the sky didn't collide
We're already aged past this fantasy
Where I curl up and claim you as mine
We're circles being paid with dimes
Filling the gaps, leaving mine
As the circles break the glass
Couldn't help save me
Because I'm already too far gone
I sit, staring at the pictures that have already passed
Ripping them up just cause I'm not that fast
And I burn the memories
Knowing the smiles aren't real
Cause when the world is made of circles and dimes
Life is plain fantasy
Help me find something real
Something fake
Something I can claim as mine
Cause the world's missing the broken pieces
We're already aged past this fantasy
Where I curl up and claim you as mine
We're circles being paid with dimes
Filling the gaps, leaving mine
Help save me
As the sky collides
Thinking maybe we aren't just circles and dimes
When that's all life has to offer
You're just a circle in a world of mine
And I love you, can't help but miss you
Cause you only hated me when I told you the truth
And the image isn't made of me for you sir, sleuth
Cause I'm passed from you
The stars alone
Couldn't help save me
Because I'm already too far gone
To a time where you loved me and the sky didn't collide
We're already aged past this fantasy
Where I curl up and claim you as mine
We're circles being paid with dimes
Filling the gaps, leaving mine
As the circles break the glass
Her third song and first EP (Extended play) featuring seven songs, including Circles & Dimes and Addict.
Stars and cuts and clouds
Hollow like she's made of glass
Waiting for everything to just pass
Everything falls apart
The cuts are sharp
Leave no mark
Shredding her heart
When he's never even got to start
Clouds and pieces drifting away
Like he's the only thing to say stay
Keep her together
Don't let her drift off in the weather
Now that he's gone
Now that he's gone
Comes crashing down
Angels fall from the sky
Never returning
Hollow like she's made of glass
Waiting for everything to just pass
Everything falls apart
The cuts are sharp
Leave no mark
Shredding her heart
When he's never even got to start
Clouds and pieces drifting away
Like he's the only thing to say stay
Keep her together
Don't let her drift off in the weather
Now that he's gone
Now that he's gone
Comes crashing down
Angels fall from the sky
Never returning
Ice Cream was the theme song for the children's show Sundae Ponies. It was released on the Best Friends Forever: Ponies Rule Album featuring several other various artists.
With you, oh, oh, oh my life is so sweet.
We're cherries on a sundae
And I can't help but sing
Cause we're ice cream and rootbeer
Peanut butter and jelly
Peanut butter and jelly
Friendship and love forever
Because we're Sundae Ponies
Running through the fields
Happiness isn't limited
Together forever
Oh-oh-oh
Sundae Ponies
Life is an ice cream cone
Sticky sweet
Dreams of strawberries and chocolate delights
Vanilla cream and choclatey chip-ity cookie dreams
La di da di da la oh la la la
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah di yeah
Baby me and you together
Yeah, di da, yeah
Loving you isn't limited cause it's all limitless
Love oh di da yeah
Fire was written about Gabrielle's first pregnancy and the love and pain and conflict it caused. A shockingly popular ballad, with several uplifting choruses, it was awarded several awards, including a Muse during the Summer Musey Awards.
Breaths
Stop, slowly
Wanting a love, wanting a life Tomorrow for my darling
Burning, you're my fire
The past is near, going without a fear
Breaking today, trying to be kept from being pushed away
But I love you now
And love I always will
Because you're so bright, burning for me
Lighting the path
And I can't hope without light
And I can't see without sight
Because you're a dancing ember
Tugging us on
When all is so far gone
But I love you now
And love I always will
Because you're so bright, burning for me
Lighting the path
Truths sitting around the lies
And the truth pushing forwards
For my darling, I will tell
For I always felt alone
But without my flame I am not
For you're still lighting the way
And you're my flame
That never changed
Silence
Cleans the airs
My flame destroys me
Breaking me
For I have loved without you
And I will not live without you
When my life is love
And you're love is my life
The ember will dance on
Bringing us together
Without the seed
Planted here
And I can't hope without light
And I can't see without sight
Because you're a dancing ember
Tugging us on
When all is so far gone
Because my ember is life pulling me towards you
For I have loved without you
And I will not live without you
When my life is love
And you're love is my life
With you tonight
The fire is right
And I won't burn myself with the flame
Stop, slowly

Rain was written about he first true love, Jason's death. It was released on the tenth anniversary of his demise. It also was her second full album (it included twelve songs).
She stands there in the pouring rain
Knowing nothing can ever be the same
Trying to piece together the past
Whenever everything just shatters like it's made of glass
And now we don't know what to do
Like everyone's just passing through
When nothing is good enough to say goodbye to-o-o
What are we suppose to do?
Saying lies and playing games
Making promises and saying sames
And nobody's ashamed
When nothing is the truth
What a-ah-are we suppose to do?
The air is filled with sighs
As we avoid goodbyes
Puh-puh-pull away
Trying to keep tears at bay
When there's just some things you can't say
I close my eyes
He's far away
And everybody's gone
Melting, disappearing whenever something goes wrong
Knowing nothing can ever be the same
Trying to piece together the past
Whenever everything just shatters like it's made of glass
And now we don't know what to do
Like everyone's just passing through
When nothing is good enough to say goodbye to-o-o
What are we suppose to do?
Saying lies and playing games
Making promises and saying sames
And nobody's ashamed
When nothing is the truth
What a-ah-are we suppose to do?
The air is filled with sighs
As we avoid goodbyes
Puh-puh-pull away
Trying to keep tears at bay
When there's just some things you can't say
I close my eyes
He's far away
And everybody's gone
Melting, disappearing whenever something goes wrong
Hollywood, one of her final songs, was written during her sudden overnight rise to fame. Many also believe it to be about love and a relationship where the couple is always judging each other. Hollywood, a very judgmental hypocritical place, is used as a metaphor.
Oh-oh-oh-yeah
Baby, I sit here
One two three
And you're waiting on me
What happened to the day
Where we could just stop and stay
And Hollywood didn't say nay
Cause I miss it
And my day can't wait
You're Hollywood for me
Stop and stare
Judge who ever isn't near
And it's in print
You're my judge-uh-oh-uh
And I miss the heat
Cause when we're being loved
By the people who judge
We can't stop thinking
Baby, I sit here
One two three
And you're waiting on me
And my song is gone
Without Hollywood thinking
And I'm not good enough
And you're the only thing that is
Moving to me
Moving past Hollywood
Baby, I sit here
One two three
And you're waiting on me
What happened to the day
Where we could just stop and stay
And Hollywood didn't say nay
Cause I miss it
And my day can't wait
You're Hollywood for me
Stop and stare
Judge who ever isn't near
And it's in print
You're my judge-uh-oh-uh
And I miss the heat
Cause when we're being loved
By the people who judge
We can't stop thinking
Baby, I sit here
One two three
And you're waiting on me
And my song is gone
Without Hollywood thinking
And I'm not good enough
And you're the only thing that is
Moving to me
Moving past Hollywood
A song used in a small budget film, Seeing Pieces never had the popularity everyone hoped for. The lyrics are broken up into pieces, only a fragment is given.
Joyce can't cry
She's got the sky
And his voices whisper
As he passes by
Coming closer with every breath
But she can't take the step
Can't break the pieces apart
Knowing he'll always be the same
So we just stay numb
Hoping the pain doesn't come running back
As the world divides me from you
Because the pieces are the only thing we see
Crashing Stars has had seven consecutive weeks as a number one single. It is probably Madame G's first most popular song, Fire being her second, and was what launched her come back career, after the birth of her second child. It has won countless awards and been covered by a countless amount of shows and singers.
Everything's alined
Everything's apart
We waited for perfection
For the stars to to be lined up
Now that we're falling
That the lights are holding us
We can only star
Standing above to world
Surrounded by crashing stars
A very lighthearted song that has cover art drawn by her daughter, Maverick, LA DI DA was recorded after Madame G made up a song to sing with her children during playtime. It was suppose to be a comeback song, but failed to be popular. It ended up being an album featuring the song Crashing Stars. After Maverick ended up mentally insane and kleptomaniac, this song faded away and was hidden by producers. Few copies are left today, making the song and any CDs incredibly valuable. (It is one of her least popular, but most valuable songs ever recorded.)
