Story Behind The Song
It came to me as I was playing guitar one day after I was sick of listening to the politicians give the people of each side reasons why not to seek a solution.

Lyrics
Catch the Bug (Music & Lyrics by COSTA)
Won't you hold me baby, look into my heart?
Got such a beautiful island of love and a sky so full of stars
(I know what I wanna see, I know what I wanna see)
Stop lying to me
Stop trying to be a barrier
Stop messing with the minds of my people
I know what I want to see
My name is this, your name is that
Her name means some thing special
But I don't know what it is
Won't you hold me baby, look into my heart?
Got such a beautiful island of love and a sky so full of stars
Catch the bug, Call it love
One day you'll see...
Do something for me
Conversation's a great start baby
Cross the line and speak to the people
The rest left for history
My name is this, your name is that
Their names and beautiful faces
But I can't hold all this in
Won't you hold me baby, look into my heart?
Got such a beautiful island of love and a sky so full of stars
Catch the bug, Call it love
Catch the bug
(I know what I wanna see, I know what I wanna see)
Back the bass reduce the space
Take a step to make a change
Cross the line this house is mine
Kick in the kick drum
The devil's in the detail that's not a plan,
skip the beat because I cannot bear to
see you lie to yourself and me
Time's up...
turn your hate to love
Won't you hold me baby, look into my heart?
Got such a beautiful island of love and a sky so full of stars
Catch the bug..
