****LYRICS******

Angel eyes watching over me,
my heart stopped beating but you
wont let me be,
nothing to offer or so I thought,
you see value where others don't,
including me....

back as a kid life was good,
parents weren't rich
but they were honest folks,
taught me right from wrong,
how to be a good man,
fell apart, but just don't know when..
shell of a man of who I used to be,
shooting up in alleys just to feel free,
what I am running from, I just cant say,
evening turns to night, night turns to day....

I'm a husk, leave me where I lay,
Just a husk, let the elements wash
my sins away,
Just a husk,
don't you hear what I say!
Just a husk,
tonight is my dying day

So what's the answer, what's 
the remedy,
I'm a waste of air, a waste of being,
don't spend no more time brining me
back from beyond,
you'll get no thanks,
you'll get no reward...

The first track off my EP 'Life Stories'.. about a drug addict just wanting to fall into oblivion...but keeps getting brought back to life by paramedics or do gooders 
****LYRICS******

Angel eyes watching over me,
my heart stopped beating but you
wont let me be,
nothing to offer or so I thought,
you see goodness where others don't,
including me

back as a kid life was good
parents weren't rich
but they were honest folks,
taught me right from wrong
how to be a good man
fell apart, but just don't know when
shell of a man that I used to be
shooting up in alleys just to feel free
what I am running from, I just cant say
evening turns to nigh, night turns to day

I'm a husk, leave me where I lay,
Just a husk, let the elements wash
my sins away,
Just a husk,
don't you hear what I say!
Just a husk,
tonight is my dying day

Husk

This song really came about because of people like Chester Bennington, Chris cornell, Robin Williams. Amazing artists and gave me great joy in what they did. 

The 2nd part of verse one is because of an interview I watched with Chester and he said something along the lines 'when I'm in my head, its a dangerous place to be and not good to be alone'... so this is dedicated  in memory in some messed up way to them.

****LYRICS *****
 
Come along with me 
Tell me what you see...
Is it hate?

I try not to walk alone 
In this place of my own....
Making....

Everyday I awake
Hoping it will be the day,
Of my reckoning....

Yet here I remain...
There's no one else to blame...
When you hate ..

Morning rolls around,
Head heavy, can't stand my ground....
Take a pill to fuzz the edges...
Seems surreal, clouded judgement....

Everyday I awake
Hoping it will, be the day,
Of my reckoning,

Yet here I remain...
There's no one else to blame...
When you hate 

Maybe it will be ok....
Maybe I'll be able to stop the pain.....
One day

Everyday I awake
Hoping it will be the day,
Of my reckoning,
Yet here I remain...
There's no one else to blame...
When you hate 

When youy haaaate
When you haaaaaaaaate
When you hate

Hate

The third instalment from The Narcissist series. The final therapeutic session to put to bed all the animosity fostered over the years. 

a final fuck you if you will 

#metal #hard #redemption #cathartic #iggypop 

***LYRICS***
You say, you hate the way I am,
The way I move,
The way I sound, 

And YOU!!! Talk shit 
all the time,
On my fucking dime,
Its the perfect crime, 

YOU!!!!
Fucking hate you
Hate you 
Fuck I hate you 

And YOU!! I want to peel away,
That fucking mask,
You wear every day, 

WIPE!!! that stupid grin,
Off your ugly face,
Split your chin, 

YOU!!!!
Fucking hate you
Hate you 
Fuck I hate you 

Blame me for your short comings
Blame me for your inadequacies 
Blame me for all that's wrong in your life 

But its you,  the one dictating,
Your lifes path and your stumblings,
Never realising the truth in front of your eyes 

Lead break 

YOU !!!!
Fucking hate you
Hate you 
Fuck I hate you 

YOU !!!!
Fucking hate you
Hate you 
Fuck I hate you

***LYRICS***

Loves sweet emotions,
Flow through my soul,
The love we held so dear,
Ebbs and flows,
You'll be mine forever,
I'll never let you go,
I'll  be your shadow,
I'll be your gloooow 

Your kisses so sweet,
Like the first day of spring,
Melodies of song birds,
Lift this grey mist,
How could I be so lucky,
To have one so pure,
How could I be so stupid,
To want more and more... 

Oooh how,
How could I,
Look.you in the eyes
And tell a lie 

Ooh how,
How could I,
Be the one,
To cross that line ... 

Memories of yesterday,
Now photos in my head,
I wake up every day,
Sinking with dread,
I look through eyes of hurt,
Prisoner of the heart,
Wish we could rewind,
Back to the start 

Oooh how,
How could I,
Look.you in the eyes,
And tell a lie, 

Oooh how,
How could I,
Be the one,
To cross that line ........







How Could I

MY crazy side coming out ...

***LYRICS***

Hear my rhyme, crack this riddle,
Like a leprechaun playing the fiddle,
Its paddy's day all the time,
Knocking back beers and shots of wine.... 

You ........can't ......stop,  what I'm about to pop....
You cant comprehend, this shits about to bend Your mind ..... 

Laaadeeedeee laaadeeedah, I'm about to crash my car,
Into the tree of life, I can't die, so I just might,
Ignite some thoughts like a hurricane,
Crashing all around me, I feel no shame,
On the news tonight its all going to happen,
Killing the mike, as my lyrics pierce like shrapnel.. 

You ........can't ......stop,  what I'm about to pop....
You cant comprehend, this shits about to bend... your'e mind 

Hear my rhyme , crack this riddle...

****LYRICS****

She's got eyes the most perfect
Shade of green,
Her hair as golden as the wheat fields in spring,
When she looks at me, I know she's one,
Fills my heart with joy, for sure I'm in love....im in love 

She makes the nights short 
And the days long,
She makes the dark, light,
Makes , the weak strong,
She is my everything, puts me right when I'm wrong 

She's the one,  she's the oooooone
Makes me so happy 
She's the one... 

At times she drives me mad,
Makes me want to shout and scream,
Other times she makes me feel dizzy,
A love so rare, I treasure every day,
I hope we grow old, have a lifetime of memories 

She's the one,  she's the oooooone
Makes me so happy 
She,s the one...

She's The One 💘

***LYRICS***

I smell the ocean, I hear the sea,
I feel the warmth of sunshine on me,
But its all in my minds eye,
I'm doing 25 to life ....... yeeaaah 

Locked in 6 by 9 all day,
I never got to have my say,
Lawyer said you'll be fine,
Now im fighting for my life ..my liiiife!!!!! 

Persecuted from a young age
Cops never let up, had me framed,
My father's dead my mothers insane,
Blue collar family from East LA... 

25 to life
25 to life, yeah
25 to life
25 to liiiiiiiiife


Appeals exhausted , what can I say,  
state says im guilty, ill always remain,
California politics dictate,
You got to run with you own race 
But that's crazy and that ain't my way,
I aint running with these fools any day,
Shot callers spoken,  who holds the keys,
Waiting for death to come claim me... 

25 to life
25 to life
25 to life 
25 to life
Yeaaaaaah 





25 - Life

Creeping and crawling all over my skin,
Putrid stench of rotting within,
Desire thick to do whats wrong,
The son of the fallen one ..... 

Aaaaaaaaagggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhh!!!!!!!! 

You hide in the darkness watching my every move,
You shudder with pleasure as you bait you're hook,
Take that one, the weak one,  the mentally impaired,
Devour their soul, drink their despair... 

Use me as your weapon of mass destruction,
Unleash my at your will, devastation,
The sheep are waiting to follow your orders,
Destroy all that's good into oblivion .... 

Oblivion......
Derision.....
Oblivion....
Decision...
Oblivion....
Derision ....

You can run rabbit run,
But micks gonna cut you down,
With his knife or his gun,
Cos your in his playing field,
The outback, where he's built
His temple of doom....


There's nowhere to hide,
In this great divide,
Sand and dirt for miles and miles...
Hes going to sniff you out
He's going to play around..
He's a sick bastard
That mick ....
Welcome to welcome to micks world.... 

He's been doing this for decades
Long,
And will for decades more,
The thrill never fades,
The memory never jades 

He's been doing this for decades.
Long,
And will for decades more,
The thrill never fades,
The memory never jades
You better run rabbit ruuuuuun
You better run, rabbit run 

Welcome to micks world 
Welcome to micks world

So my 2nd Drop D tune, 'The Whisperers', Sabbath, motorhead, maiden, Tremonti, Alterbridge maybe..  have a listen. Not sure what it is but this tuning brings out the darkness in me!!! Stretched myself maybe too far vocally on this, but I still think it works and hey, I ain't perfect!!!!!

***LYRICS***

You whisper I shiver,
The shadows move and hiss,
The sky bruised, 
Deliverance in the midst 

Oooohhh you're time has come,
They say you've run as far as you can,
Ooohhh whispers in the dark
Come to take  me, come to take my soul away 

Now hear my cries, for peace,
Fall on deaf ears again, 
I'll fight with all my strength,
Until the bitter end.. 

Oooohhh you're time has come,
They say you've run as far as you can,
Ooohhh whispers in the dark
Come to take  me, come to take
My soul away 

I feel the cold touch of death,
The fear of loathing and despair,
I for one can no longer carry on,
I submit with a dying breath 

Oooohhh you're time has come,
They say you've run as far as you can,
Ooohhh whispers in the dark
Come to take  me, come to take my soul away

The Whisperers

Journey with me back to the late 80s, and feel the sun on your face, the smell of the ocean and  love in the air 💘 

Good old rock n roll...endless summer Vibes

***LYRICS***

I just can't help, this feeling inside,
Like the weekends come early 
Its time to ride..
soft top down,
Old school Sound,
Tearing up the highway
Its the only plan... 

The way you make me feeeeel
Got my head spinning around and around
Make a grown man cry,
Every day feelin' like Friday night,
Come on baby
You do it so right!!!! 

Like an addict i need more and more,
Got me head over heels so hardcore,
Never want this feeling to end,
Dance the night away,
Watching you move and sway.. 

The way you make me feeeeel
Got my head spinning around and around
Make a grown man cry,
Every day feelin' like Friday night,
Come on  baby
You do it so right!!!! 

And when she looks
at me I crumble,
Those green-eyes make me stumble


The way you make me feeeeel
Got my head spinning around and around
Make a grown man cry,
Every day feelin' like Friday night,
Come on  baby
You do it so right!!!!




The Way You Make Me Feel ❤

loving drop d!!!! thisnis not personal, well maybe it was at one time, maybe for my wife... 
but this is for anyone (man/woman) that has ever felt like this.

***LYRICS***

And I'm sick of the way you look at me,
The blame for all your Shortfalls,
Falls on me,
Just sick of never being good enough,
In every way,
Just Sick of feeling... 

So what, do want from me,
Echoes in the silence,
Of what used to be..
A family home, no more 
Laughter of our kids, lost 
Forevermore... 

And I'm sick of the way you look at me,
The blame for all your Shortfalls,
Falls on me,
Just sick of never being good enough,
In every way,
Sick of feeling,

The days pass so slowly,
With a sense of dread,
Wondering what concoction is building your head,
Happiness and laughter,
A trick of the mind,
You're a fucking psycho 
And you're mine!!!! 

I wish we could just rewind,
to the start,
Where it all began,
where it fell apart,
Just wanted you to be happy
What a fucking laugh..
What a fucking laugh..
What a fucking laaaaauuugh...!!!!!!!!!
aaaahhhhhh...

And I'm sick of the way you look at me,
The blame for all your Shortfalls,
Falls on me,
Just sick of never being good enough,
In every way 
Sick of this feeling,
Just sick of being ....

Im screaming at the sky,

Only you can save me
Only you can save me this tiiii-iiime....

No one else can hear me,
No one else can feel me like you do...oooo,
I'm laying my soul bare,
Making my intentions clear,
To you ooooo...

Won't you take my by the hand,
Come on let's make a stand this time..
I no longer care,
I just want to be
By your side....

Won't you take my by the hand
Come on let's make a stand this time..
No one understands me,
No one understands me like you do

Your strength guides me on,
When all seems lost,
Your embrace soothes me,
Like a gentle  breeze,
You uplift me when I'm down,
Your love so profound,
For all the world to see

Won't you take my by the hand,
Come on let's make a stand this time..

You slither inside my heaaaaad...

Coiled inside ready to strike....
Hear my screams tonight

Get ready for war 

Voices legion call my naaaaaame
Telling me to bow down
To feel shame
I've disobeyed the tortured one 
Tell him to Come,
Bring it ooooonnnnn!!!!!! 

Toooooniiiiight
Its fight or flight
Tonight 
Get ready for war


You can tear me apart...
But I knew it from the start...
I'll never fall to my knee...
I'll arise a new,
Spit in your eye..
With glee!!!!!!


Toooooniiiiight
Its fight or flight
Tonight 
Get ready for war

I feel the butterflies within..
I'm lost man, I'm in too deep.

Oooooohhhhhhh 

80s vibe, bleach blonde hair,
Blue eyes and Legs for miles,
Santa Monica boulevard,
Feel so fine all the Time,
Summer fun, waves crashing in,
Never want this to end,
want to smell your hair, just dive in... 

But you're just out of reach...
You Make my heart ache..
Sunning on the beach..
Look so fine,
You're just out of reach..yeah 

Evening draws in, showered and fresh
Spray on some cologne...
Hit the bars, feeling good
Is she around?
Then I see her on the dance floor
Like noone else in the room,
I think my heart just missed a beat,
Someone call the aaaambuuulaaaance!!!!! 

But you're just out of reach...
You Make my heart ache..
Sunning on the beach..
Look so fine,
You're just out of reach..yeah
Just out of reach
Just out of reaaaach 

But you're just out of reach...
You Make my heart ache..
Sunning on the beach..
Look so fine,
You're just out of reach..
Man I wanna make you mine.

Here is my version of Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Bands song 'Turn The Page'.

Always loved this one and I hope I've done it justice 

#bobseger #turnthepage #cover #rock #70s #metallica #classic 


***LYRICS***

On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before 

But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through 

Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page



Well, you walk into a restaurant all strung-out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode 

Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, is it woman, is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand 

Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page 

Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play 

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said 

Say Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page 

say Here I am, on a road again
There I am, on the stage, 
Here I go, playing the star again

**LYRICS**


Rowdy Rowdy
Friday night,
Drinking whiskey wanna fight,
Stumble here stumble there,
Fall on my ass just dont care.. 

Lights are bright minds a mess,
Passing people pass the test?
On i go drink some more,
Get shoved headfirst in the toilet stall ... 

You can't kill me 
You can't kill me
No moooooorrrre 
You cant hurt me 
I'm
Inviinciiiiiiiiiible!!!!

Wake up drunk in a garbage can,
Diapers and tampons in my hair,
Throw up on my clothes
One more time,
Looking for answers in the grime 

You can't kill me 
You can't kill me
No moooooorrrre 
You cant hurt me 
I'm
Inviinciiiiiiiiiible!!!!

'Invincible'

***AI is FIRM NO - ALL MUSIC WRITTEN, ARRANGED AND PERFORMED BY ©Crackerjack**

Hi, I am Jon, my music name is ©Crackerjack. Having re-read my own bio, which I haven’t done for some time, I realised how self-important it sounded!! I wish I was  a dynamic lead, rhythm, and bass guitarist whose sound is deeply rooted in blues-infused hard rock. 

The latter of this sentence is at least true in terms of styles – although I do also love metal and power sludge (Pantera), some classical, blues, Jazz/funk, Gangsta Rap.  I also do play lead, rhythm and bass, write, arrange and perform all the music and vocals. 

The drums are programmed on my Boss BR80 Micro Digital recorder; however I am planning on teaching myself how to play these. I also mix down and produce all my music.

My music era growing up was late 80s- mid/late 90’s.  Huge influences for me were early GNR, especially Slash, who is the reason I fell in love with the Les Paul and playing lead; Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Black Crows, ACDC, STP, Faith No More, Gary Moore, ZZ Top – the list goes on, and all over the place!

Whilst I am a hard rock guy, I do venture into more metal as some of my tracks like The Gringo, Corrupt, Insidious, The Nomad may showcase. I also have 3 or so songs written which will be folk/country, my softer side, but need to buy a new acoustic before I record these.

I have released probably 60 singles and 5 track EP called Life Stories, which is what it says on the tin. 

The songs cover addiction - Husk' to ballads  'A Love Untold’ and a cheeky little interlude of the Sabbath variety with my good mate Somewhere 77’ supplying the bongo beat.

Happy to colab where time allows in between being a dad, work, dad, work, dad!!!
