I Love You Baby; A “Hauntingly Heavy Love Song” that carries the listener through progressive phases, and builds to a climax that fades with a mesmerizing rhythm, intertwined with rolling bass riffs. Written in 1990,  and recorded on Valentines Day “90”, the song is constructed of a single lectric guitar track,( highly distorted and phased ), with the drum program. Then, a bass track, and two vocal tracks, all recorded on cassette,  then remastered to disc in 2001, from archives.

I LOVE  YOU  BABY

Since I first saw you
I knew I’d love you
I love you baby

 Your such a beauty
I love you truly
I love you baby 

It’s easy just to say
I love you all the way
All the way

 I love you baby

It Must Be Lust; A ”Seductive Funk“…Lit with witty lyrics that portray three separate, yet similar, experiences with the uncontrollable power of  LUST. Written and recorded in 1989, the song was given a lead electric guitar track, in 2003, which was never intended. Strong bass carries the song, along with a breaking drum program and two vocals.

IT MUST  BE  LUST

Hot - Sure

She ripped out your heart - with her teeth
You never saw it - underneath
You gave your all to that pathetic whore
She sucked your blood - still gave her more

It must be lust
Stronger than love
Could not have been sent - from heaven above
It must be lust
To take all the hurt
And be - first in line - to have dessert

Sure - Hot

So you’re a married man - true and blue
Couldn’t happen - to a man like you
But she’s laying there - your wifes out of town
You grew your horns - and slapped it down

 It must be lust
Stronger than love
She sighed for you as you made the shove
It must be lust
Devils game
For you are not - the one to blame

 Now don’t all you women - get bent out of shape
Your just as guilty - of legal rape (Consensual Rough Sex Games)
Some girls that have coaxed me - to jump the fence
Were happily married - FALSE PRETENCE

 It must be lust

Stronger than love
A shotgun to - that famed white dove
It must be lust
To hunger the best
Sex, that is - never give it a rest

It must be lust

No control
Internal reaction - beyond your soul
It must be lust
The Devils Game
For you are not - the one to blame 

Hot - Sure 

It must be lust
No control
Tried to shoot that great white dove
It must be lust
To hunger the best
Sex, that is - never give it a rest

It must be lust
It must be lust

You are the perfect one for me
I know cause you show me everyway, by what you say
I love you so, I never wanna let you go
I love you truly heart and soul

Since I met you, my darling, I haven't wanted anymore
To see your as happy as myself sure makes my day

I know it's true, I'll always wanna share with you
The things that matter old and new
You make it so easy all the way for me to say
I wanna be, surrounded by your love you see
There is no better one for me
I know cause I've looked and searched for years
And your now finally here

Happiness you see is about what we're livin for

To see your as happy as myself sure makes my day

PATOLOGICAL  LIAR 

*You say you will, I say you don’t
*Habitual liar, no reason you won’t

 *Eye to eye with a straight face
*Fabricate with a fast pace
*Got no conscience there’s no trace
*You sure built a strong case

 *But when your caught and your down
*Down on your knees
*Pathological liar
*You sport that disease

Your stomach in knots, your lies that you dread

 Oh my my what a thick head
With a face that has turned red
All the bullshit you have fed
With the lies that you just said

 No one can believe a single word that you say
Another trick up your sleeve for another day

 * = Repeat…

SANDS OF  TIME

No way to stop it
It’s gone once here
That precious moment
A memory near
Got no control
Can’t slow it down
Ruler of many
Goes round and round

 Check it  -  Read it -  You know it  -  Best believe it

 Sands of time slide right on by
Like ocean tides from low to high
And time, like sand, right before your eyes
Slips through your hand as time goes by

 Some watch and wait - for time to fly
Some will be late - cause time went by
Don’t hesitate - when you should try
Procrastinate - kiss time goodbye

 Check it  -  Read it -  You know it  -  Best believe it

 Sands of time slide right on by
Like ocean tides from low to high
And time, like sand, right before your eyes
Slips through your hand as time goes by

Don’t hesitate - when you should try
Procrastinate - kiss time goodbye

You all are suspects in this land you see
You must be filtered if you must be free
Face recognition cameras all around
Voice recognition phones to scope your sound 

We’ll save you

Oh, and you’ll pay the bill
We’ll save you

Your freedom is our will

 There’s A.P.C.’s and machine guns downtown
We need these tools in case you fool around
Just place your palm now on the sensor pad
Your M.V.P. card told us you were bad

 We’ve changed the rules now so you have to play
Don’t forget about that fateful day
If you don’t like it you can just kiss my ass
Because I have here a draconian pass

 We’ll save you
From yourself

No one else

Your freedom is our will
We’ll save you


Oh, and you’ll pay the bill

Your flying where ???
Oh no no no no , I don’t think so
You see, you made the list
Now come with us
And don’t resist !!! 

We’ll save you
From yourself

No one else

Your freedom is our will

WHAT IS  TRUE

What is true

They say I’ve lost my--my freakin mind
Might even just be--behind the times
If they just knew what--what I knew
See through the smoke, yeh--see what is true

 See what is true
Smoke and mirrors for you
If they had took the time I took
Then you would see I’m not as dumb as I look

 Where white is black--and black is white
Where night is day--and day is night
Where right is wrong--and wrong is right
Get out of darkness
Into the light

 What is true


They say I’ve lost my--my freakin mind
Might even just be--behind the times
If they just knew what--what I knew
See through the smoke, yeh--and mirrors too 

What is true

Written and recorded in 1990, this song was remastered in 2001, along with the addition of a new bass and vocal track, This tune sports 3 guitar tracks, 3 vocal tracks, bass, drums, and a myriad of vocal delay effects on the extensive fade, that is actually the most “Hookin” part of the track.

YOU  HAD  ME

You said that you love me - I thought that was true
Time will tell - That’s what I said to you
But the way that you act - Makes me not even believe
Your lying and cheating - Your out to deceive
Yea, but time was the factor - That you couldn’t take
Saying it was - Was your first mistake
I gotta hand it to you babe - You had a good scam
But I am not - Your ordinary man

 I really did love you - Even after the pain
Until it began - To drive me insane

 You - Had me - But lost - Because you never tried
Learned - At such - A cost - You never should have lied
Tried - To be - The one - You took me for a fool
Now - Your time - Has come - Send you back to school

 I can’t believe that I left you - So many times before
A week or two later - You’d crawl back for more
The last time that I took you - I think I made it quite clear
Just one more shit trip - Bitch your out of here
Yea, but I was the one - Who was a fool
I knew I was asking - Way too much for you
And I believed you - When you said that you could
My fu**in head - Must be made of wood

 Well time did tell - That’s sure easy to see
You sure couldn’t make it - With a man like me

You - Had me - But lost - Because you never tried
Learned - At such - A cost - You never should have lied
Tried - To be - The one - You took me for a fool
Now - Your time - Has come - Send you back to school

 I said you had me…

WHEN  YOUR DREAMIN

In the early hours of the morning
Eye movement rapid, R.E.M.
Your body’s still, but your mind is wandering
Places to go - People to see
Not of this world
But another plane

 Your dreams will take you many places
Unidentifiable most seem
Your introduced to stranger faces
Than you will probably ever see
When your dreamin

 Journeys to unfamiliar landscapes
Just where they are you’ll have no clue
But if you cross them in your lifetime
A strange sensation
Of mind’s creation
It’s what is known as
Deja’vu

 When your dreamin
You’ll think that it is true
When your dreamin
It’s happening to you
When your dreamin
Your not sure what to do
When your dreamin

YOU’RE  SORRY

 *You say you say your sorry
*But you, you know away I’ll send
*You say you say your sorry
***Cause you, wanna be my friend

 Friends are just acquaintances
I, hate to say it’s true
Most of those I’ve known in the past
Have, done me just like you
Done me just like you

Always say it more than twice, yeh
Sorry again
If they knew how to play nice
Away I would not send
Away I would not send

 So on your way outside that door
Say your last goodbye
Take it down the road my friend
Don’t look me in the eye
Don’t look me in the eye

 Take it to the house
Don’t you fret no more
Take it to your house my friend
It’s an even score

Could care less if I see you on this
Long winding road of life
You burned me more than twice my friend
Don’t need you in my life
Don’t need you in my life

You’re Wasted; is a 12-string acoustic duet, along with a vocal track that tells the story of a hopeless drunk on his quest for female companionship. Written and recorded in 1988, this song was thought to be lost, until a copy turned-up from a demo that was sent to a friend 14 years ago. The sound quality is questionable, but the song is a classic for those who have been, or known, anyone who fit’s the lyrics in this tune.

YOU’RE  WASTED

After work - head down to the pub
Slam down a pitcher - and cruise for the club
Six margaritas  - and your really buzzin
Order another - your eyes are fuzzin

Wasted - Just about every night
Your wasted - Still think it’s alright
Wasted - Put your feet on the floor
Your wasted - Stumble towards the door - Oh yeh

 Stick in the key - Give it a twist
You have to drive - since you insist
You didn’t impress - those sweet little bitches
Keep your eye on the road - stay between the ditches, Ya

 Wasted - they wouldn’t dance with you
Your wasted - face it your through
Your wasted - still think you can score
Wasted - go on and try some more, Oh no

 You walked in the door - down on your knees
The walls seemed crooked - about thirty degrees
You ordered a double - crawled over to us
Then ran to the can - drove the porcelyn bus, Oh no

 Wasted - when will you ever learn
Your wasted - no more money to burn
Wasted - better call a cab
Your wasted - ain’t gonna score no stab tonight

 Tip it up - drink it down
Head for the door - stumble around
Look for your keys - you’ll never find
Your way home - you’ve lost your mind, Oh yeh

 Wasted  -  Your wasted  - Wasted
