MUCH MORE THAN NUTHIN

I CAN DO WITHOUT YER LUVIN

I CAN GO WITHOUT YER KISSIN
SO SMARTEN UP AND LISTEN
I WON'T BE ANYBODY'S FOOL
AND I CAN DO
WITHOUT YOU
YES, I COULD DO
WITHOUT YOU

They’re yapping bout ya in town
Sayin ya been letting me down
Time to kick ya to the curb
Maybe ya think that I'm blind
Or that I can't see the signs
But pay attention to my word

I CAN DO WITHOUT YER LUVIN

AND YOU DON'T WANNA BE TRUE
I CAN GO WITHOUT YER KISSIN
SO SMARTEN UP AND LISTEN
I WON'T BE ANYBODY'S FOOL
AND I CAN DO

YES, I COULD DO
WITHOUT YOU

Smooth operating in the dark

You've gone 'n missed the mark

And I got you in my bullseye

Out of heart and outta sight

Doing me wrong ain’t right

And soon it’s gonna be bu-bye

I CAN DO WITHOUT YER LUVIN
IF AIN'T MUCH MORE THAN NUTHIN
AND YOU DON'T WANNA BE TRUE
I CAN GO WITHOUT YER KISSIN
SO SMARTEN UP AND LISTEN
I WON'T BE ANYBODY'S FOOL
AND I CAN DO
WITHOUT YOU
YES, I COULD DO
WITHOUT YOU

IF IT'S LOVE

These are times
When the struggles confuse our minds
And we let the important things
Slip away from view

Living in this day
There's constant roadblocks in our way
And it's been so long that you
thought only of me and I of you

IF IT'S LOVE, WE WILL FIGHT
TO MAKE IT RIGHT
WE WILL DO, WHATEVER WE CAN
IF IT'S LOVE, THEN WE MUST
JUST LOVE AND TRUST
IN THE GREATER GOOD OF THE PLAN
AND LOVE, LOVE RIGHT TILL THE END

I can still remember
How our hearts glowed like ember
And there was nothing
That could keep us apart

But times, they change
Sometimes we are so out of range
But being out of sight
Doesn't mean out of each other's  heart

IF IT'S LOVE, WE WILL FIGHT
TO MAKE IT RIGHT
WE WILL DO, WHATEVER WE CAN
IF IT'S LOVE, THEN WE MUST
JUST LOVE AND TRUST
IN THE GREATER GOOD OF THE PLAN
AND LOVE, LOVE RIGHT TILL THE END

LIVING IN SPACE

World is full of Zombies

Without eyes on their face

Just a bunch of Donkeys

Who can't keep up the pace

They're down with the homies

But their life's way off-base

And they're badly losing the race

CAUSE THEY'RE LIVING IN SPACE

YEAH! LIVING IN SPACE

LIVING IN SPACE

The Boys're into wasting time

Know nothing but talk tough

Drinking to the bump and grind

Working only to roll a puff

Got so many in their prime

Who'll never be man enough

To live their life with any grace

CAUSE THEY'RE LIVING IN SPACE

YEAH! LIVING IN SPACE

LIVING IN SPACE

Won't stay through thick and thin

They're just easy come easy go

But my back loses no skin

Whichever way their winds blow

Cause I have been staying in

Right out from the get go

And I won't leave this place

TO JOIN 'EM LIVING IN SPACE

YEAH! LIVING IN SPACE

LIVING IN SPACE

MAROONED ON EARTH

I crashed my rocket-ship "Destiny"
I send this message with urgency
Celestial Father listen to my plea
Cause I am lost here so far from home

Wasn't my choice to choose this ride
Now I'm trapped across the Great Divide
I'm all time warped and twisted inside
Living in a body that is not my own

I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH
I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH
I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH

Marooned amidst these men and wars
Bruised my flesh with wounds and scars
Craving my place back among the stars
This restless spirit is dying to be freed

They harbour too much anger and hate
Just lower-lifes destroying all you create
Talk of Love and Peace but they can't relate
For all their desires are poisoned by greed

I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH
I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH
I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH

Send a rescue
Send a sign
I'm begging you
Throw us line
Or pull me up to higher ground

Your Golden Fleece
Celestial Robe
Grant them Peace
And give them Love
And turn their hearts heaven bound

I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH
I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH
I AM HURT
AND MAROONED ON EARTH

YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT

I was flat broke
Down to my last toke
Hitchhiking up the lonely highway of life

Went off and left home
After months on my own
I came face to face with the lowest in strife

Should've known better
But Dad raised no quitter
Experience is the father of learning who are you

So I slunked into town
And Plunked my pride down
There I came nose to nose with a lesson or two

WALK BEFORE YOU TROT
ROPE BEFORE YOU KNOT
GET BEFORE YOU'RE GOT
AND IF YOU DON'T AIM,
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YEAH, IF YOU DON'T AIM
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT

There's no magic pill
You say what you will
Gotta put your back into it, take it on the chin

Learn to duck and dip
Keep a stiff upper lip
Better learn to suck it up and tuck it all in

You're down in the ruts
There ain't no shortcuts
You gotta plug away till all work gets done

Don't be a no starter
But learn to work smarter
Cause we all can hide but we sure can't run

WALK BEFORE YOU TROT
ROPE BEFORE YOU KNOT
GET BEFORE YOU'RE GOT
AND IF YOU DON'T AIM,
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YEAH, IF YOU DON'T AIM
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT

NEW AGE MACHINE

"NEW AGE MACHINE"  wins Runner Up Placement  for Song of the Year demo by Marc Kennedy.

Thanks to Marc Kennedy for his  work on putting together the demo.

I've been running on two hours sleep 
My income is low and my debts are steep

This is spinning into a worn-out routine
And I'm becoming just part of the machine

It's point and click and click and drag
It's brainless but I don't mean to brag
Because the mind has to forget to feel
And the body needs nerves of steel

  ITS THE NEW AGE,

ITS ALL THE RAGE

BUT WE'RE LIVING BACKSTAGE

IT'S THE NEW WAY,

TO SEIZE THE DAY

BUT WE'LL ALL GO ANYWAY

ITS THE NEW AGE,

ITS ALL THE RAGE

BUT WE'RE LIVING BACKSTAGE

IT'S THE NEW WAY,

TO SEIZE THE DAY

BUT WE'LL ALL GO ANYWAY

I've been running at double speed

My wheels are torn but they don't bleed

My heart of neon has no way to tell

If this is heaven or if this is hell

Super vitamins and power boosters

They can make chickens out of roosters

Its a new age of contradictions

But everyone pays for their addictions

ITS THE NEW AGE,

ITS ALL THE RAGE

BUT WE'RE LIVING BACKSTAGE

IT'S THE NEW WAY,

TO SEIZE THE DAY

BUT WE'LL ALL GO ANYWAY

ITS THE NEW AGE,

ITS ALL THE RAGE

BUT WE'RE LIVING BACKSTAGE

IT'S A NEW WAY,

TO SEIZE THE DAY

BUT WE'LL ALL DIE EITHER WAY

MEMORY LANE

I drove the road of hard knocks
Rolling over them rocks
Chasing a dream that never returned
Gambled and bet the whole pot
Thought I had a good shot
But in the end I crashed and burned

I WAS LIGHT ON MY FEET
BUT IT WAS ALL IN VAIN
FOUND NO LUCK ON EASY STREET
NOW I'M STUCK IN MEMORY LANE

I've been drug through the trenches
Mistreated by wenches
Had my heart chewed on and spat out
Been cheated and lied to
Been yelled at and cried to
Ran the gambit of certainty and doubt

I WAS LIGHT ON MY FEET
BUT IT WAS ALL IN VAIN
FOUND NO LUCK ON EASY STREET
NOW I'M STUCK IN MEMORY LANE

There were dreams to behold
But that story's getting old
I know only too well 'bout those scenes

Been here may times before
I know that I know the score
I got all the ways but ain't got the means

I WAS LIGHT ON MY FEET
BUT IT WAS ALL IN VAIN
FOUND NO LUCK ON EASY STREET
NOW I'M STUCK IN MEMORY LANE

FOREVER

I've paid and I've paid my dues
But never got what's coming to meeeee
I've had the grays and had the blues
For as far as the eye can seeeeeeee

I've been through hell and high water
But I'm not the one to complainnnnnn
I've done everything like I ought to
And the waiting is driving me insaneeee

BECAUSE IT'S TAKING FOREVER
WAIT YOUR TURN YOU ALWAYS SAY
AND IT'S TAKING FOREVER
TAKING FOREVER AND A DAY

There are those who never even try
Doors open and drop all on their lapppp
But I knock and knock with no reply
I'm getting sick of this same ol' crappp

I've searched high and I've searched low
Covered all the bases far and wideeee
Travelled so long with these dreams in tow
That I can't take one more strideeee

BECAUSE IT'S TAKING FOREVER
WAIT YOUR TURN YOU ALWAYS SAY
AND IT'S TAKING FOREVER
TAKING FOREVER AND A DAY

HEAVEN AND HELL

The Spirit is strong 
But the body is weak
What the Spirit wills
The body will speak

Body's got the rhythm
Spirit brings the rhymes
The body will crumble
Spirit last for all times

COME HEAVEN 
COME HELL
I'M BREAKING 
OUTTA MY SHELL

Get in tune with tunes
Rocking the groove true
Music's the voice of God
Coming out of me and you

Got to free your mind
For the body to know
Music comes from above
It grooves down below

COME HEAVEN 
COME HELL
I'M BREAKING 
OUTTA MY SHELL

They gave me legs
But I wanted wings
I do what I can
With these human things

COME HEAVEN 
COME HELL
I'M BREAKING 
OUTTA MY SHELL

SHINE THE LIGHT

Got flowers in the spring

Got stars in the sky

Got songbirds that sing

Fireflies that fly

You've got a Paradise

Piece of heaven here on earth

I wish you'd recognize

And enjoy for all it's worth

WHERE YOU THREAD

I SHINE THE LIGHT

ON YELLOW AND RED

ON BLACK AND WHITE

  LOOK UP HERE

  I AM THE SUN

  I SHINE CLEAR

  FOR EVERYONE

LOOK UP HERE

I AM THE SUN

I SHINE CLEAR

FOR EVERYONE

  ON YELLOW AND RED

  ON BLACK AND WHITE           

  WHERE YOU THREAD

  I SHINE THE LIGHT

     I SHINE THE LIGHT

You got snow on hills high

Waterfalls and ocean blue

Got rainbows of magic dye

All made just for you

No one survives alone

No bird flies with one feather

Can't build with just one stone

Got to learn to live together

WHERE YOU THREAD

I SHINE THE LIGHT

ON YELLOW AND RED

ON BLACK AND WHITE

  LOOK UP HERE

  I AM THE SUN

  I SHINE CLEAR

  FOR EVERYONE

LOOK UP HERE

I AM THE SUN

I SHINE CLEAR

FOR EVERYONE

  ON YELLOW AND RED

  ON BLACK AND WHITE           

  WHERE YOU THREAD

  I SHINE THE LIGHT

     I SHINE THE LIGHT

It's hard to turn and leave

When there's something to prove

Peace is easy to achieve

You just don't make a move

You've got a Paradise

Piece of heaven here on earth

I wish you'd recognize

And enjoy for all it's worth

WHERE YOU THREAD

I SHINE THE LIGHT

ON YELLOW AND RED

ON BLACK AND WHITE

  LOOK UP HERE

  I AM THE SUN

  I SHINE CLEAR

  FOR EVERYONE

LOOK UP HERE

I AM THE SUN

I SHINE CLEAR

FOR EVERYONE

  ON YELLOW AND RED

  ON BLACK AND WHITE           

  WHERE YOU THREAD

  I SHINE THE LIGHT

     I SHINE THE LIGHT

CHEAP WOMEN AND WINE

A lotta cheap wine

And uncaring women

I've taken what's mine

And now I'm scrammin'

Don't let me behind

Baby, cause I'm rammin'

EVEN IF THEY'RE SWINE

AND IT TASTES LIKE BRINE

I NEVER DECLINE

CHEAP WOMEN AND WINE

A dirty dog, so you say

But OK, I'll admit it

If this is your day

Then come and get it

Cause you gonna bray

Like you'll never forget it

EVEN IF THEY'RE SWINE

AND IT TASTES LIKE BRINE

I NEVER DECLINE

CHEAP WOMEN AND WINE

I'm tired of bein' jerked

And put on the spot

Or being smirked at

Called a crackpot

Baby, I've worked

For all that I've got

EVEN IF THEY'RE SWINE

AND IT TASTES LIKE BRINE

I NEVER DECLINE

CHEAP WOMEN AND WINE

Some guys never try

And some guys quit

I make the girls cry

But I don't give a sh**

Cause I'm the type of guy

Your mold don't fit

EVEN IF THEY'RE SWINE

AND IT TASTES LIKE BRINE

I NEVER DECLINE

CHEAP WOMEN AND WINE

CRAZY DAISY DREAM

We fell deep into a fantasy 
And none could see clear 
Everything one could see 
Painted with rainbow smear 

Colors mished and mashed 
Trying to repaint our reality 
Though we wished and washed 
Few of us could break free 

THEM WERE CRAZY DAYS 
T'WAS A CRAZY FANTASY 
THEM WERE CRAZY WAYS 
FOR A REALITY TO BE 
THE HIGHER THE DREAM CALLS 
THE HARDER A DREAMER FALLS 

There were unicorns and elves 
All things out of this universe 
To the point we saw ourselves 
Not as the cure but as the curse 

But I broke outta that dream 
Just in time to see my true hue 
Though I didn't get away clean 
I well managed to get a clue 

THEM WERE CRAZY DAYS 
T'WAS A CRAZY FANTASY 
THEM WERE CRAZY WAYS 
FOR A REALITY TO BE 
THE HIGHER THE DREAM CALLS 
THE HARDER A DREAMER FALLS 

So real, we could see the stitches 
On them Fairies' britches 
But we got out just in time 
To spare our body and mind

THEM WERE CRAZY DAYS 
T'WAS A CRAZY FANTASY 
THEM WERE CRAZY WAYS 
FOR A REALITY TO BE 
THE HIGHER THE DREAM CALLS 
THE HARDER A DREAMER FALLS

BAD BUY MARY JANE

She sold me well 
on the whole affair
Her VW bus
was none the worse for wear
A rough-drawn map
had an X right over LA
She had a way to my heart,
that was clear
From the start
I should never been there
She was loaded,
a bill of laden waited on pay

We took the back roads
driving at night
We slept in the day,
laying low, out of sight
It wasn't my cup of tea,
but, hey!, she was with me
She had wild dreams
of being set for life
I pictured the scenes
With her as my wife
But the cards
didn't hold that as our destiny

SO FROM ME TO YOU
WORD TO THE WISE
AIN'T NO BAD GUYS
EVER GIVING GOOD BUYS

We pulled into town,
was just before sunrise
Sunset Boulevard
flashed lights in our eyes
She met her cronies
just as they all had agreed
But poor Mary Jane
never saw it coming
When the heat came down,
man she was bumming
Cause they turned her in,
after stealing her weed

Mary Jane's bail
was set off the chart
I was slapped on the wrist,
stabbed in the heart
A big learning moment
and a lesson to teach
In cuffs and jumper,
I can still see her crying
"Don't forget me Bobby,"
and my heart was dying
I got outta Dodge,
that dream got way outta reach

SO FROM ME TO YOU
WORD TO THE WISE
AIN'T NO BAD GUYS
EVER GIVING GOOD BUYS

MAMA'S BABY

Mama's little baby is growing up fast
She's trying out her wings on faith alone
Mama's given her all the lessons from the past
But sooner or later she must learn lessons on her own

All Mama can do is give you the wings to fly
But she can not be always by your side
All she can do is teach you to aim high
and carry your conscience as your guide

BABY YOUR PLANS ARE GRAND
MAYBE YOU WILL GET THERE IN THE END
SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
TO BUILD YOUR NEST WHERE YOU LAND

You're inspired by the infinite possibilities
You want to do it all and never fail
you'll try to the best of your abilities
but sooner or later everyone learns to exhale

you don't fail if you fail to succeed
just means you succeed in a different way
sometimes to be happy, breathing is all you need
and baby we are all alive and breathing today

BABY YOUR PLANS ARE GRAND
MAYBE YOU WILL GET THERE IN THE END
SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
TO BUILD YOUR NEST WHERE YOU LAND

SLIDE

hm-hm ah, hm, ah hm-hm, ahhh, hmmm-aaaahhhh 
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE

Sometimes you pull away,
Sometimes you push hard
Sometimes you're led astray
Sometimes you don't get far
Sometimes it's right up front
Sometimes you're in the trench
Sometimes it's all you want
sometimes not even a pinch

SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE

Sometimes you can't get deep
Sometimes it's way too much
Sometimes it's your to keep
Sometimes you can't even touch
Sometimes the way is clear
and sometimes you can't tell
Sometimes you can't get near
Sometimes it's just as well

SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE

(RAP part)
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
sometimes side to side
you're right side up
or upside down
just let it slide
you can come with us
get on the bus
playing seek and hide
I say it like I said
full speed ahead
go and let it slide

SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE
SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE... LET IT SLIDE

LIVING IT UP

They are living it up 
It's the new age of liberation
But this is nothing
Like a hippie re-incarnation

Back then was 
the age of Love and Peace
but Generation Me
They couldn't care the least

LOVE AND LET LOVE
AND LIVE AND LET LIVE
GO BEYOND AND ABOVE
AND GIVE AND LET GIVE

This Generation Me
growing up so out of touch
got no sense of duty
for the parents don't care much

They're all living it up
not responsible for their actions
burn the candle today
tomorrows are just abstractions

LOVE AND LET LOVE
AND LIVE AND LET LIVE
GO BEYOND AND ABOVE
AND GIVE AND LET GIVE

The Generation Me
Is the Me Generation
Living it up with Glee
On a Permanent vacation

LOVE AND LET LOVE
AND LIVE AND LET LIVE
GO BEYOND AND ABOVE
AND GIVE AND LET GIVE

TRIPMEISTER

Like a rabbit in a headlight
frozen in his stance
paralysed, mesmerized
hanging in a trance
this reality distortion
is beginning to make sense
levitates and gravitates
keeps him in suspense

TRIP MASTER ALWAYS ON HIS WAY
TRIPPING AWAY, TRIPPING AWAY

Singing in the subways
wisdoms to impart
parades and serenades
aiming for the heart
smooth master mo-jo
romancing is his art
speculates, desecrates
and tears it all apart

TRIP MASTER ALWAYS ON HIS WAY
TRIPPING AWAY, TRIPPING AWAY

DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL

My life is full
Of contradictions
Between the living
And the dead
I'm all alone
With my addictions
It seems like
My sanity's fled

I see no point
In salvation
No golden light 
To point the way
I have made
This dire situation
On the bed
In which I lay

I PUT IT ON THE LEVEL
BUT IT'S NOT ALL IN MY HEAD
THE DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL'S
BEEN LAYING IN MY BED

I've been laying
Here wide awake
As she's dancing
Naked in the dark
And if only
I had a stake
I could push it
Through her heart

I'm not much
On religion
Oh! But Lord
How I pray
That you come
Take this vision
And make her
Vanish away


I PUT IT ON THE LEVEL
BUT IT'S NOT ALL IN MY HEAD
THE DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL'S
BEEN LAYING IN MY BED

ROMEO'S MELODY

Verse 1:

Lost and jaded Romeo

Sings a happy memory

Songs they've all come to know

As the "Story of You and Me"

Everything that he does

Is only meant to impress

He sings about the two of us

In our times of happiness

Chorus:

I can live those days again

How I dream the fantasy

I relive our love again

In Romeo's Melody

We never came to pass

I don't fear what will not be

And you don't love me any less

In Romeo's melody

Verse 2:

Young lovers walking in the park

Whisper sweet nothings of you & me

And when they dance in the dark

They dance to Romeo's Melody

It's a perfect story for him

Singing about love as it should be

And Romeo's song has no end

To the likes of you and me

Chorus:

I can live those days again

How I dream the fantasy

I relive our love again

In Romeo's Melody

We never came to pass

I don't fear what will not be

And you don't love me any less

In Romeo's melody

Bridge:

It's the Story of You and Me

back when you and I were we

Chorus:

I can live those days again

How I dream the fantasy

I relive our love again

In Romeo's Melody

We never came to pass

I don't fear what will not be

And you don't love me any less

In Romeo's melody

TWISTED RUSES

Scars of failure
Stars of success
I was the only one
I tried to impress
Always came up short on that

I was born a saint
Became a sinner
A sore looser
And a bitter winner
Blew all of my chances at bat

MARY RYAN
AND LAURA BOWMAN
I WAS ONLY TRYING
TO BE A SHOWMAN
YOU WANTED LOVE
BUT MY HEART WAS HOLLOW
I DIDN'T LEAD
AND I COULDN'T FOLLOW

Red-headed muses
Of my yesteryear
In my twisted ruses
I stole your cheer
Now I pray the Lord to be forgiven

Between us three
We had a way to win
But it's too late to be
What we could've been
I blew all the chances I was given


MARY RYAN
AND LAURA BOWMAN
I WAS ONLY TRYING
TO BE A SHOWMAN
YOU WANTED LOVE

HEADING DOWN

Laura was a hippie
But it never hit me
She was too young to be a flower child
She was better with a bottom
She needed 'em she got 'em
Princess of piece, just a happy child

Willie made the scene
She played his tambourine
Making nickels, spending dimes
Every time he left her
He got the feeling after
She was way beyond the times

RUNNING IN THE FAST LANE
PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND AIM
RUNNING IN THE FAST LANE
PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND AIM

She was a sweet kind'a girl
To make your toes curl
Unlike any you've ever seen
She was a body of work
Could make the ground perk
(And) a face for the cover of a magazine

Laura was a hippie
Boy when she hit me
Was a lot more than just love
Much more than the motion
It was her wild devotion
That always knocked your socks off

RUNNING IN THE FAST LANE
PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND AIM
RUNNING IN THE FAST LANE
PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND AIM

OH! SALLY-O

Sally was a screamer
Hell, I never seen her
Without a smile on her face
Head she could rock it
Hip she could lock it
Right there in it's place

OH-OH SALLY, 
YOU COULD RALLY
AS ONLY SOME GIRLS DO
OH-OH SALLY, 
WON'T YOU TELL ME
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOU

Thinking I was clever
Left, I wouldn't have her
Anymore than maybe twice
Now that I need her
The plow and the seeder
End up paying the price


OH-OH SALLY, 
YOU COULD RALLY
AS ONLY SOME GIRLS DO
OH-OH SALLY, 
WON'T YOU TELL ME
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOU

Way deep in her hollow
Or feeding her swallow
Was always so much fun
"Come On" she would cry
"Baby, just let it fly"
And Boy! She always got it done


OH-OH SALLY, 
YOU COULD RALLY
AS ONLY SOME GIRLS DO
OH-OH SALLY, 
WON'T YOU TELL ME
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOU
