Blues Song 02:40
lyrics

I bought some sugar but it's not sweet Now I'm looking for something to eat I checked the cupboard but it's plain bare I check the fridge there's nothing there I bought some sugar but it's not sweet Now I'm looking for something to eat Yeah yeah. I gotta trash talking sister with a heart of ice Trying to keep me from paradise I'm there early but she's not there Man that girl is everywhere Gotta trash talking sister with a heart of ice Trying to keep me from paradise. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Everybody needs something That's very plainly clear Everybody needs something, I need you, right here. Three headed monster with a company badge Said I messed with a girl named Madge I said "Man, I don't even know her name, He said "come with me sir, just the same." Three headed monster with a company badge, Said I messed with a girl named Madge, Yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Everybody needs something That's very plainly clear Everybody needs something, babe, I need you, right here. All the things we need to talk about, but never really say All the hopes we left behind, in some romantic place i need you and you need me, there's nothing more to know To all the good times still ahead, c'mon, let's go.

Everyone's Hoping For A Great Answer 02:51
lyrics
buy track
Everyone is hoping for a great answer to their problem Everyone is hoping that things will work out alright Everyone is hoping for a world without a problem Everyone is hoping for a future that's sunny and bright. When the great answer is here, there will be no need for fear When the great answer is here, we'll say 'yeah!' Everyone is hoping for a great answer to their problem Everyone is waiting for better times to come Noone wants misfortune, no one wants sorrow Everyone is hoping for a great new day tomorrow. When the great answer comes There'll be dancing in the slums When the great answer comes,we'll say 'yeah!' History is often unkind and history makes us blind When the answer comes, what a wonderful world we will find.

Looking For The Perfect Plaid 02:49
lyrics

I'm looking for the perfect plaid That makes me feel like the perfect Dad Make it red, make it blue Just what it takes to get me back to you Tom Cridland could you make some plaid Something that suits the classy lad I need some plaid for my attire I gotta get it 'fore the coupon expires Nobody knows the value of clothes like I do Stripped to the bone, I'm all alone without you I'll try Old Navy they're pretty cool, Banana Republic I'm not a fool Calvin Klein now that's my brand Although the prices are out of hand Nobody knows the value of clothes like I do Stripped to the bone, I'm all alone without you Nobody knows the power of prose like I do Alone in the dark, I capture a spark, it's voodoo. Buffalo, Blackwatch, Tartan, Stewart, Those are rockin' Glenplaid, Houndstooth, Prince Of Wales, Now you're talkin'! I'm looking for a perfect plaid (x4)

Literature 02:16
lyrics
buy track
I read the news today It's all so ordinary The human struggle 'gainst the force of history. I watched TV today, it's all so bloody boring. Some talking heads about the human race. I read the literature I think I get the point. I think I get the point. I write an essay and I think I made my point. I think I made my point.

Under Control 03:48
lyrics
buy track
I walk alone down Lonely Avenue, taking in the sights I walk alone down Broken Boulevard, thinking everything's alright Everything's alright, everything is Under control, under control of love Under control, under control of love. I don't drive, i only walk it keeps me safe and warm at night Sometimes I think before I talk but still the words don't come out right Everything's alright, everything is Under control, under control of love Under control, under control of love

Not Quite Right 02:51
lyrics
buy track
He's sharp, he's wise, there's starlight in his eyes He's so high on romanticism's lies He must come down from all those lofty heights All those times he's dreamed away the night Blue red white, Not quite right, Two plus two don't equal five Don't give up without a fight Not quite right, not quite right. I'm the same, active brain Anxiety and mental pain Liberty ignites the flame, try again, try again. Blue red white, looking for a fight Crashing down the boulevard decked in stars and stripes Ted and Jack might be coming back Buzzing through the corridors from the inside track Blue red white, Not quite right, Two plus two don't equal five Don't give up without a fight Not quite right, not quite right. I'm the same, active brain Anxiety and mental pain Liberty ignites the flame, try again, try again. If only they could be, American, just like me Blue red white, Not quite right, Two plus two don't equal five Don't give up wiithout a fight Not quite right, not quite right. I'm the same, active brain Anxiety and mental pain Liberty ignites the flame, try again, try again. It's come to my attention It's hardly worth a mention, It is patently absurd that he is not quite right Something must be done, before he scares someone Get him out of here because he's not quite right. Blue red white, Not quite right, Two plus two don't equal five Don't give up without a fight Not quite right, not quite right. I'm the same, active brain Anxiety and mental pain Liberty ignites the flame, try again, try again.

Bully Walkie Talkie 03:10
lyrics
They walk they talk (bully walkie talkie) x4 I take the check (Bully walkie talkie) They give me heck (Bully walkie talkie) They speak and spell (Bully walkie talkie) To give me hell (Bully walkie talkie) Aah, aah, They walk they talk, bully walkie talkie Words wasted, to cause distress Words wasted, is such a mess. This is the way (Bully walkie talkie) We live today (Bully walkie talkie) No love at all (Bully walkie talkie) No prophet's call (Bully walkie talkie) Aah, aah, They walk they talk (bully walkie talkie) Words wasted, that cause distress Words wasted, they must confess. How does it feel to be so unreal? How does it feel to be cruel? They walk they talk (bully walkie talkie) x4

Mouth Monster 03:12
lyrics
buy track
It starts with no empathy And ends up with lies If there were two of me, I might just survive How can I live if the truth of me dies? Mouth Monster Mouth Monster Mouth Monster There are monsters, Mouth Monsters It's irresponsible to say that you must tell You say you speak the truth, though you know so well That you don't care about the lonely man who fell Mouth Monster Mouth Monster Mouth Monster Mouth Monster, there are monsters What if we walked in somebody else's shoes What if we knew the truth, instead of what we feel? Mouth Monster Mouth Monster Mouth Monster There are monsters, Mouth Monsters

Miss Begotten 02:38
lyrics
buy track
She's got her fingers in too many of my pies She bends the truth a bit until it bleeds out lies I really want to know if she enjoys the highs When she's telling all those fancy boys goodbye I get so twisted when the hammer comes down I never missed it since i pasted on a frown Oh Miss Begotten, it's all so rotten To be down and down and down I need to know you, I want to show you That I'm more than just your clown Oh Miss Begotten. Oh Miss Begotten. I make the most of it I try to hit the mark I hope she recognizes what she's done to my spark And all the changes to my thematic arc As I discover that her bite exceeds her bark I really wonder as I reach for the prize How she can say so much with only her eyes. Oh Miss Begotten, it feels so rotten To be down and down and down I need to know you, I want to show you That I'm more than just your clown. Oh Miss Begotten it feels so rotten To be down and down and down I have forgotten, what is verboten, Or if you want me around. Oh Miss Begotten. Oh Miss Begotten.

From A Worm To A Butterfly 04:16
lyrics
buy track
When I was young, we had so much fun Wriggling through the slums with someone else's mom Now that I'm grown, I've got a mind of my own Going to take some time to see the world and atone Takes a little help to make it all work out She'll be waiting there to show you what it's all about From a worm to a butterfly that's how she's gonna make you She's gonna pull a lot of threads to put you back in the groove What you trying to prove? From a worm to a butterfly, that's why she's got to break you It takes a lot of nerve to get you back on the move, boy What you trying to prove? Now you can see what the future could be You know that you won't lose if you can choose the blues People will care, though sometimes people may stare As you make the metamorphosis with magic everywhere You get your colored wings, you hear the angels sing Something's going right in almost everything From a worm to a butterfly that's how she's gonna make you She's gonna pull a lot of threads to get you back in the groove What you trying to prove? From a worm to a butterfly, that's why she's got to break you It takes a lot of nerve to get you back on the move, boy What you trying to prove?

brick bosso Los Angeles, California

I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
