Even the Losers, live. (lyrics) Well, it was nearly all summer we sat on your roof Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon And I’d show you stars you never could see Baby, it couldn’t have been that easy to forget about me Baby, time meant nothing, anything seemed real Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel Like every word you said was meant to be No, it couldn’t have been that easy to forget […]
(lyrics) I sit and work all day. Sit and work, try to make it play. I’m not good, not good. I’m not good, not good NOW! Practice hard for 20 years. Practice hard, it’s hard on your ears. Cuz, I’m not good, not good. Not good, not good NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW! Maybe I should buy a book and sound like I should. Maybe get some cash and sound like an ass. I’m not good, not good. Not good, not […]
I was surfing the internet today checking out blog posts. I came across one that made me think of the Green Day Song called ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’, in an entirely new light. The thought was that the lyrics were an accurate expression of the internal experiences of someone who suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. I have had friends who struggle with the affliction. So I tried to sing the song from that vantage point. To see the post, that inspired my […]

Preface to the recording. In the middle of the 1970’s, when I was around 5 to 7 years old, this tune was on the AM Radio a whole lot. It is natural for a young boy to want to be with his Dad. My father had experienced a romance with my Mom that is the stuff of beautiful fairy tales. She tragically passed away far too young at the age of 38, leaving him with two incredibly young children. I used to […]
Running to Stand Still (live). (lyrics) And so she woke up Woke up from where she was Lying still Said I gotta do something About where we’re going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain, maybe Run from the darkness in the night Singing ha, ah la la la de day Ah da da da de day Ah la la de day Sweet the sin the Better the taste in my mouth I see seven towers But I […]
All I Want is You (live). (lyrics) You say you want Diamonds on a ring of gold You say you want Your story to remain untold But all the promises we make From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you’ll give me A highway with no one on it Treasure just to look upon it You say you’ll give me Eyes in a moon of blindness A river in a time of dryness A harbor […]
Desire (live). (lyrics) Lover, I’m off the street Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet With a red guitar on fire Desire She’s a candle burning in my room Yeah, I’m like the needle, needle and spoon Over the counter with that shotgun Pretty soon everybody got one And the fever when I’m beside her Desire Desire, right And the fever getting higher Desire Desire Burning, burning She’s the dollars She’s my protection Yeah, she’s the promise In […]
Everybody’s on the Run (cover). (lyrics) You can’t fight the feeling And always the same pouring rain You know, you know, It’s coming out of the ceiling, Falling from above Falling in and out of love A broken heart is still beating In and out of time Hold your body next to mine You know, you know, When you can’t stop the bleeding Sing to yourself and hold on, ‘Cause everybody’s on the run Everybody’s on the run Hang in there love […]
Vampire Blues (live). (lyrics) I’m a vampire, babe, suckin’ blood from the earth I’m a vampire, baby, suckin’ blood from the earth. Well, I’m a vampire, babe, sell you twenty barrels worth. I’m a black bat, babe, bangin’ on your window pane I’m a black bat, baby, bangin’ on your window pane. Well, I’m a black bat, babe, I need my high octane. Good times are comin’, I hear it everywhere I go Good times are comin’, I hear it everywhere I […]
