March 13 Moving UnitsHave you ever seen an idealist with grey hairs on his head Or successful men that keep in touch with unsuccessful friends You only think you did I could have sworn I saw it too But as it turns out It was just a clever ad for cigarettes 'Cause if it isn't making dollars Then it isn't making sense If you aren't moving units Then you're not worth the expense If you really want to make it You had best remember this If it isn't penetration The it isn't worth the kiss We're so sorry sir But you did not quite make the cut this time And we'd appreciate it if you cleared you stuff on out by five Don't take it personal Everyone knows you did your best If it makes it easier You should look at it from our perspective 'Cause if it isn't making dollars Then it isn't making sense If you aren't moving units Then you're not worth the expense If you really want to make it You had best remember this If it isn't penetration Then it isn't worth the kiss February 25 Bad Diary DaysWe Barely ever fight,
she knows that I love her.
At first we made it everynight, but I don't want to bug her about it.
She just has a funny way of lovin me. Found ticket stubs in the desk,
a movie I've never seen.
I probably shouldn't ask, it sounds so accusing.
She must've forgotten to mention girls night out. The breakfast cereal talked more than we did, all day long.
I asked her for a walk, but she had to be on her way.
So I told her I knew she had been stepping out. She swore that she could explain. She swore that it would not happen again. She swore that she could explain. We both knew her words were invain. January 24 Wake UpThis is a new song about old topics... called Wake Up... half a song anyways
wake up
how can you sleep through all the screams the innocents are suffering wake up
why can't you see that all of us are crying the best of us are dying How can you call yourself a man
when everything you had you freely gave just for them to say that you could stay you're a winner December 24 Bands with ManagersBands with managers
are going places
bands with messy hair
and smooth white faces
but you won't believe when I say
that it won't be alright
vans with 15 passengers
are rolling over
but I trust T William Walsh
and I'm not afraid to die
but you don't believe when I say
that it won't be alright
cause it won't be alright November 25 Criticism as InspirationI saw in your bedroom the drawers had been emptied Looking for answers but you won't admit it now.
You don't need a reason that's what you tell me but I still don't buy it You drink yourself silly night after night. The big man that I am to always have to put you down, put you down. Then there's your girlfriend she opens her legs and gives your life meaning Is that what you love her for?
The angel is always looking down he's perfect without frown the bully always wins The big man that I am to always have to put you down, put you down. The big man that I am to always have to put you down. It makes we look so good to always put you in your place. I can write it in a song but never say it to your face, to your face. When they really get to know you they will runwhat makes you think that it won't grow back in a day or two husbands in winter they know the truth but what can they do i don't like girls the way they are so shave their legs and make them look like movie stars then we can pretend it's natural put on whatever makes you attractive if it's not you then do it for the sake of fashion your friends like a certain you that's who you've got to be junior high legs blonde hair gone brown from removing it waxing since thirteen wisdom from a beauty queen her tiara diggin deep in her head i'm starting to think that i'm kind of shy or at least i'd like to be winter legs give me heart attacks so take it off with lasers so it never comes back then we can pretend it's natural November 24 A simple planthe plants and the factories are perfectly run the workers and bosses are living as one people are equal people are good people are working as hard as they should be it's food for my family and clothes for my kids the class war is over and everyone wins it's such a simple plan to take it like a man but i'm not sure i can we fought for a decade corruption and greed it gave me a purpose a reason to breathe but now that it's over now that we've won it's back to my bedroom alone with a shot gun to think of my family no longer compels me with all things in common they'll manage without me October 20 HeroI wrote a song... it's just something I wrote in a little bit cause I was bored so it's not very good, but the music was written a long time ago. It's in A minor if that means anything to you. And the base chords for most of the song are A minor and E minor. It's far from finished... but I suppose someone may look at it and give me some constructive criticism. I'm living in a memory A life I never lived a policy of slavery repentence for my sins I was a hero sometimes I was a hero when I was a hero in my eyes I was a hero then But sometimes heros stumble sometimes heros fall sometimes I'm not like a hero sometimes not at all I'm sorry if I let you down I crashed along the way cause heroes aren't invincible they damage all the same October 14 Club AmericaClub America by The Cure as performed by me. Some small lyrical changes and very different musical composition. First played at Wylders last year and again acoustically over the summer.
I ride into your town on a big black trojan horse
October 06 Who Shot John Lennon?This is a work in progress...
like to send a message to the world
a story seldom heard about a strange man named lennon telling stories without words can you hear this Paul?
I don't believe in beatles can you hear me Paul? you killed him afterall Who shot John Lennon?
I did I did September 10 Fameeveryone drives a mustang I want to be somebody everyone thinks they're famous I want to be somebody August 07 StarlightThis is a song I wrote for my wonderful girlfriend... maybe someday I'll actually play it for her if I get over the shyness of it all. It's one thing the play for a crowd of drunk people in a bar it's another to play a song you wrote about someone for them. Anyways... it's not 100% done. This is my rough version of it... as always any suggestions are welcome.
my love is Spread your wings my love is July 27 NothingA song for you... it's unfinished, and I just started writing the lyrics to go to the finished music, which is amazing in my humble opinion. But I figured I'd ask everyone what they thought before I finished.
Find my way to the barstool tonight pour me a drink to ease my troubled mind find friendship in the strangers glances find solice in these dirty places this jukebox plays my memories
a quarter buys you three at a time and if you have the chance to make it here I do suggest you try the wine Down in this bar I don't feel my troubles anymore not anymore Down on myself I don't feel anything anymore not anymore not anything not even me July 25 Any Suggetions...?The band I'm in, Legends, is pretty much a 60's cover band. We do covers of the most influencial songs or bands from the that time period.
We're working on putting together a new set of about 10 songs.
So far I think we'll have Sister Goldenhair by America in it, While My Guitar Gently Weeps by the beatles, and I'm going to try and get some Kinks in there somewhere.
I was just wondering if anyone had any song suggestions? July 24 Bombs Over BroadwayAnother song for you... apparently it never actually showed up the first time I posted it so here it is now. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Ticket price
one life
see the show
one night
bought and sold
like bombs over broadway
do what your told
there's nothing left to see here
fading voice
no light
Curtain call
no sight
bought and sold
like bombs over broadway
do what your told
there's nothing left to see here
nothing left to show
nothing left to hold
nothing left but time to go July 22 Redemption SongThis is our song,
a song for those who can't get along
This is our prayer,
for those who've lost their way out there
this is our plea,
for those chained by fear to be freed
this is our chance,
to stand up for those who can't
This is our redemption song
this is our hope,
that we would save when others won't
this is our dream,
that we could end all suffering
this is our faith,
that we can bring peace to this place
this is our song,
this is our song,
that we sing to those who do wrong
This is our redemption song
this is our song July 19 My Other HalfI've posted a lot of my songs on here for everyone to enjoy but there is a whole section of my music that I've left off. Being a christian I do occasionally write some songs about my faith. Since I haven't put any of them up on here yet I figured I throw one up for everyones pleasure.
Yeah God knows I've tried
but everytime I fall behind there's a space inside this soul and it's bitter, dark, and it's cold God knows this side
God knows this side God knows this side of me God knows I'm dumb
all silence and devoid of love all terrible and full of sin all nothing with nothing to give God knows this side
God knows this side God knows this side of me May 12 Homecan anybody help me I'm so confused when I'm left behind can anybody see me when I'm blind and left without you
does anybody even care
for all my years of wanting May 10 Suburban RainWell another new song for you... so far so good. The writers block seems to have left for the time being. I've been listening to a lot by John Lennon lately, so I guess this is inspired by that. Hope you enjoy it.
I hate this street
Kids watch tv
We don't have no picket fences here
We live in fear
We don't have no picket fences here
But bars can't keep you safe forever
We don't have no picket fences here May 07 Lovesong for the Rich and FamousMaybe I'm breaking my dryspell of writing and it seems to have broken with an angry streak... a politically charged, grunge inspired, rock song... something different. Finally. Hope you like it.
See him creeping through the street
I don't think and I don't feel
see her picking through the trash
I don't think and I don't feel This is a pretty great departure from what I've been writing more recently... and frankly it feels good. |
