55mm 04:03
The opening shot's of a house just down the street Then cross cut quick: your open door, my running feet You might catch a cold outside, Cause we'll be out till we're satesfied So put on a sweater, cause you'll look better For the 55mm in my eye Cut to the lot where the Groucho's used to be Lean in as she's whispering the line to me She says "c'mon, lets stoke the fire" And I never felt a room get higher With Dog on my side, looks great every time For the 55mm in my eye I thought you'd turn, I though I'd fall I thought so many thing that never happened at all I said "let's meet up to play it again" But I don't know where and I don't know when Perched on the curb for the regular shoot to start Just looking for a little action for this aching heart Say, we're looking for a brand new sound And we heard of something on downtown So we're out on the night to find Cause we're reeling from the feeling but we don't know why Raise from the bed and start to pace the floor I'm afraid I've seen this one too many times before I wanna see what this thing can do I got a feeling that you do too This little light of mine With a 55mm in my eye

Introducing The Medicine Man Presented in iris, Ey this seems so funny to me If you're using The Medicine Man Why's it in when you can be so good but it all seem so different to me When you shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot And fall flat every time When you shoot from the hip, what you use when you dip When did the moon get so high? Introducing The Medicine Man He starts as an extra, but thats when he gets ya so intimately Make way - The Medicine Man He can get you so mad when he says "Well if you think you're going to make it then you're CRAZY!" When you shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot And fall flat every time When you shoot from the hip, what you use when you dip When did the moon get so high? You're pure boned, a natural poet Smoke rings from the backseat, treat for my senses So many times, you've got to lose But now you get a way to choose Introducing the Medicine Man A standing ovation, with no hesitation he exist the scene. You're not choosing the Medicine Man He's a fixture demand when the expectations are bleeding me When you shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot And fall flat every time When you shoot from the hip, what you use when you dip And The Medicine Man is on your mind

In the eastern interstate tunnel Johnston saw it first His system'd gone wry as he muttered "Oh my, did it hurt" Do you believe there's a heaven? Do you believe up above? I believe there are ghosts in the tunnel of love When we roared through on the bandbus Chanting faithfulness You said "Hold me tight, Cause otherwise we could be next" Do you believe there's a heaven? Do you believe up above? I believe there are ghosts in the tunnel of love You're the one who can take me To the other side I just wish there were more time left before the flame died. I believe in the stories I've sung I believe that it don't matter what, babe And I believe...

Can't Hurt Me (free) 02:59
They can't hurt me To the preachers, the sneakers, the motherhood teachers. To the men who believe in the government And the men who believe in the internet science Oh you lose and you lose but just maybe Chorus To the movers, the shakers, the heartbreakers, and the babymakers. I love you I don't want to be famous but do ya? Chorus Every moment Eyes are watching All they see is Chorus

Colours 03:41
Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair In the morning, when we rise In the morning, when we rise That's the time (That's the time) That's the time (That's the time) I love the best Blue is the colour of the sky In the morning, when we rise In the morning, when we rise That's the time (That's the time) That's the time (That's the time) I love the best Green is the colour of our sparkling car In the morning, when we rise In the morning, when we rise That's the time (That's the time) That's the time (That's the time) I love the best Mellow is the feeling that I get When I see her (Mmmmm) When I see her (Mmmmm) That's the time (That's the time) That's the time (That's the time) I love the best Freedom is a word, I rarely use Without thinking (Mmmmm) Without thinking (Mmmmm) Of the time (Of the time) Of the time (Of the time) When I've been loved That's the time (That's the time) That's the time (That's the time) I love the best

Flower Row 02:53
Alway checking my back The picture was bright but they all fade to black One hour till the day has begun Two is the moon and the sun Oh, lately Three prayers to the powers that be For my lovely to want even less from me Hello, flower row Don't have much money Got no place to roam Spent all I had on a Bag of tricks and a couple of song One felt like I need to get high Cause two is the same but with wine Oh, lately Three quiet impeccable needs For the wide open windows and tapestries Hello, flower row Don't have much money Got no place to roam Spent all I had on a Bag of tricks and a couple of song One hour till the day has begun Two is the moon and the sun

Little Atlas 04:36
Little Atlas holds a glass of red wine History is lighter than the breeze Now that you have got it in your pocket Take a load off, Little Atlas Hey you're not on the ride Meet me around outside Theres so much going on it makes me wanna cry Take a load off, Little Atlas I see two In the sky Of changing colour But who's the other Who's the mother Why the struggle When I hole my World up tall If I crash If I fall I will know all See all the children running out into the sun I know it's hard but look we just begun Out into the waste but what else can we do My head, it aches, my narrative concludes Take a load off, Little Atlas Take a load, off of your shoulders.

Nilda 03:40
Hey sister spin till the sun comes up Got a link for a ride, got a link for a bump All the vampires give it when there's youth in the air When you can tumble an empire with jet black hair So rockabye baby, one more song You gave me the dream but now it's all gone wrong Rockabye baby, can't catch your break When you're given more than you can take But then the conscious slips away And you're seeing your reflection in the milky way You don't think about it often but you think about it 'nuff to tell I think about you often as well Do you remember in the summertime I was a wanderer an you were the sky With an overnight bag, the tracks from your tears I don't ask for the answers I don't want to hear Rockabye baby, one more night I may be young but I can set this right But when the black car pulled with the money you spent Hell, I don't give a fuck where she went But then the objects every day They seem to grasp you more in an ephemeral way You don't think about it often but you think about it 'nuff to tell I think about you often as well Rockabye baby On the tree tops Rockabye baby The cradle will rock Feel the motion, feel the sway And know you're comin crashing to the ground anyday You don't think about it often but you think about it 'nuff to tell (Oh, I wanna tell ya) I think about you often as well

Dollhouse 04:28
Twenty-five years of Twenty-five memories C'mon be telling me, what did you want to be in '79? Twenty-five years all intergalactic On the weekly wage, it's all the rage to get higher than high. No one's gonna tell you about it But I'm pretty sure someone should tell you about it Make good choices, lovers do But darling, sometimes it ain't much about you In the dollhouse, when they shake it up I was sitting on the train tracks 'neath the DVP Between this side and Leaside, the colour of your teeth C'mon be telling me, what did you want to be in '79? But if you're asking me, I never wanna be caught on the other side of that line No one's gonna tell you about it But I'm pretty sure someone should tell you about it Make good choices, lovers do But darling, sometimes it ain't much about you In the dollhouse, when they shake it up Twenty-five years, and twenty-five stars Hell, none of it's perfect, but all of it's ours I was sitting on the train tracks 'neath the DVP And either/or I never could afford one of those automobiles flyin over me No one's gonna tell you about it But I'm pretty sure someone should tell you about it Make good choices, darling do do But damnit! This time it's just not about you In the dollhouse, when they shake it up They're shaking it up Ah! They're gonna shake it around

Junk 02:20
Your Junk is on my mind I love you more as time goes by As time goes by Free woman, free my soul I don't know who I am anymore Who I am anymore Your Junk becomes my Junk Becomes your Junk becomes Makes us whole No wave anymore When everything is numbered, eveything's a bore No wave anymore Blow, sucker on my lips What more could I want from a devil's kiss? From a devil's kiss Your Junk becomes my Junk Becomes your Junk becomes My junk becomes your junk Makes us whole Makes us whole Makes us Junk, Junk, Junk

When I hold ya Before the sun The rush of the morn Like a hermit, his tinderbox Like Achilles, his goldilocks Like a rifled soldier When I hold ya She's been worrying a many sleepless nights I know she's hovering above a tune Won't be poor for long Cause you bring me the song When I hold ya Swinging wide the gates of your love Then I promised you all my health You said "Darling control yourself" But thats what I told ya When I'd hold ya She's been worrying a many sleepless nights I know she's hovering above a tune I'll bring you this song And we'll spend a whole life long

I'm leaning off the rails of a ferry boat Tossing off scraps and thinking bout home Near to shore A rumble and I'm overboard The fish show me land all mine When I'm knocked out from behind Oh so hot! I wake up in a boiling pot Scare the monsters with a mighty laugh And finish my bath You won't believe Where I've been Where I've been Where I've been Tiger's quick but no match for my pointed stick Snakes are very clever though I tied him in a bow Empty town Following the grotto down Hear a voice I know so well Sitting by the gates of hell You won't believe Where I've been Where I've been Where I've been Light of day A celebration underway Out home's across the biggest blue So I guess this'll have to do A grand parade Singing songs that will recall the day Laugh and tumble all the way to bed Then do it all again You won't believe Where I've been Where I've been Where I've been

Chelsea Girl 03:40
We're pre-ing and your saying how we've gotten too thin When your school aesthetic crew pulls out a bottle of gin I said "Hello, I love you. Lets see if we can go all the way" We're in the heart of the city, at the end of the world And you think you'll make it good cause you're a chelsea girl I said "Hello, hear that sound." And it keeps me comin down Cause it's always all around So hold Onto my heart Or we'll fall Apart There's something when I wake up and when I go to bed But then the next day we're going again I said "Hello, I love you. Lets see if we can go all the way." Theres a heavenly fixture, a moral command Says we'll toil for our future but you stop where you stand I said "Hello, hear that sound." And it keeps me comin down Cause it's always all around So hold Onto my heart Or we'll fall Apart

Tears on my shoulder Wind take the wheel They stole all that I had So I tend to understand The broken people

Crystal Gaze (free) 02:22
If you cannot sleep My place is not too far I'm growing my hair out If you cannot sleep Fog windows of my car Lets grow our hair out The window's open night and day So linger here, your crystal gaze You fix me with a single look Its always better what you took I can see it in the way you are One day here, the next afar In fairy dreams Lie to me

Welcome Home 03:34
Mother's death defying gift of electrifying belief At home you find relief From your worries and your grief Wrapped in the curtain, a proud hero's bane Dawning a crown of plastic and jade Crouched in the closet for fear of the mess that he's made. Now on the doorstep the years since took flight On a travelling circus, with no end in sight. Seeking a purpose if any such thing can be found. Mother's death defying gift of electrifying belief At home you find relief From your worries and your grief Mother's tone implying wanting for rest, wanting for sleep She's got a child to keep Off in disbelief Carry on, Godspeed to the price Carry on, To crest the young throne Carry on, Like your father once did Cut loose your bindings with bludgeonous bone Cause the blisters are worth all the love you will know You're being hard on yourself, Yeah well maybe I'm not. I fear all the matter that stands on this doorstep is all that I got. You've been hard on yourself Since you've been a child So calm your need to carry on, and lay down for awhile. Mother's death defying gift of electrifying belief At home you find relief From your worries and your grief Mother's tone implying wanting for rest, wanting for sleep She's got a child to keep Off in disbelief

Control 04:05
Well you see it so much clearer when you look at us Got the feeling comin on and it's treacherous I'm emptying my pockets cause I'm thinking of us Cause us was all I was till you betrayed my trust They're gonna eat me whole They say it's rock and roll Oh b-b-b-b-bless my soul I don't want to lose control (No no no) (Lose control, no no) Well you wanna do it quick cause you got something to say And it feels a little better when you do it your way You're emptying your pockets, you got something to say] Now nothing else but to pray to take the feeling away They're gonna eat me whole They say it's rock and roll Oh b-b-b-b-bless my soul I don't want to lose control (No no no) (Lose control, no no) And you feel it comin on like a thunder bolt But the words and the tune are catching in my throat You said your part, you let it out Now there's nothing left to do but scream and shout Well you see it so much clearer when you look at us Got the feeling comin on and it's treacherous I'm emptying my pockets cause I'm thinking of us Cause us was all I was till you betrayed my trust They're gonna eat me whole They say it's rock and roll But I'm on my roll and blowing a fuse Falling to the floor, got nothin to lose Oh bless my soul I don't want to lose control (No no no) (Lose control, no no)

Turn Me On 03:58
Kids play down on the bend It makes me recall a friend But when I do it's best to clear my mind I tried to be all I said But the pile's become too high That I must climb Those were days Hearts ablaze Burned up like the sun Turn me on I feel my heels wearing down And I feel sick of this town I'm reading my I Ching to pass the time It told me something crazy That I'd love to tell you, friend To talk again I see you there In the air I love you, please hold on Turn me on (Turn Me On) My final trick A slight of hand The passion, then it's gone Turn me on
20.
Mercy 03:39
Nobody Cares About this place The cemetary bears the name On every face In your silver mirror The poet's grand review The torn up, tearstained truth That we're kicking up dirt for something to do Oh Ahh Singing mercy, mercy me Got nowhere to be And got no one you're trying to see Oh Ahh I'm gonna break it clear one day And mercy, mercy me I'll hear them say

about

Click through on each song to see a little blurb about each song and it's creation!

I'm always happiest when I'm constantly sharing what I'm up to, what I'm thinking, and most of all, pushing myself. So, to fulfil these values, I've decided to record and share a demo every two weeks for my 21st year. My goal is to have 21 songs up by this time next year. The rules are that the song has to be previously unreleased, and at the end of 14 days I've got to put up the demo, no matter what the state, then move on to the next thing. It's going to be a hustle.

I'll be uploading a new song here every other Monday, beginning two weeks from my birthday (August 13th)
