I’m Going home

All the things that I have to tell her remain unspoken
The right words just don’t show up, within my mind
All I ask is How're you doing, are you happy?
Don’t dare to ask if she has a lover, or a child

So long I’ve waited to see her again
And now I don’t know what to do or when
I’m going home
Each night I feel that my lover’s heart is beating only for her
But I’m going home

At last we make a move, our chairs a bit closer
I smell her hair and touch her left knee with my hand
A warm pain runs through my heart as she says no lover
Has ever meant very much to her

So long I’ve waited to see her again
And now I don’t know what to do or when
I’m going home
Each night I feel that my lover’s heart is beating only for her
But I’m going home

After closing time I linger by her blue car
Until we finely kiss and she says goodbye
Then she starts her car and she leaves me standing
Alone with my shadow in an empty parkinglot

So long I’ve waited to see her again
And now I don’t know what to do or when
I’m going home
Each night I feel that my lover’s heart is beating only for her
But I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home

I'm Going Home

As I Watch You Leave

I don't know what's going on in my mind!
Do you feel like that sometimes? 🤪

My Mind

🖤

A song for the person who never left your side

Unresisted

I took a phony call, another bill to pay
Will these chronic vultures ever fly away?
I laid there for hours, trying to be ok
To tell you that I’m living today

Your type always suffers everyone’s mistakes
I’m the jaded kind that loses every game
Last time’s biggest loss was never gonna gain
It broke me to pieces the same 

You fought to persuade me when I couldn't
You said I would make it when I didn’t 
Believe in myself
But now it’s written
I love how you make me a better person
You’d always accept me, when I wouldn’t release myself
From this prison

You said “no more dogs!” when you cried that day
I felt so confused but it went away
Then you had a dream about a dog you named
That’s how we adopted a stray

You fought to persuade me when I couldn't
You said I would make it when I didn’t 
Believe in myself
But now it’s written
I love how you make me a better person
You’d always accept me, when I wouldn’t release myself
From this prison

Interlude

I wanted to make this so you’d have it
You’d never demand me, but I’m committed
To keeping your heart unresisted


Unresisted (Acoustic)

A celebration of life-long friendship, with a cheeky nod to Saturday Night Fever, although musically, it's not even close to the music of that film! To my ear, it sounds, completely unintentionally, like Dire Straits, but others may disagree. 
In lo-fi mode, as it's unlikely time and financial issues will allow the proper recording of all the songs I've written to date, but I thought it would be nice to get it out there as a bonus track. 

Jeff, by the way, is the abundantly coiffured (lucky bastard!) and classically jaw-lined gentleman on the far left in the photo. Steve, the host of Pool Night, is on the far right. All friends from school back in the 60s and early 70s in the UK. 

Lyrics:
It’s Pool Night at Steve’s 
And tonight, Jeff is the man
He smokes himself to victory
It’s like the gods control his hands
The others smile and shrug and drink
With every miscued shot that they make
“It’s always been that way,” they say
“We don’t care, for heaven’s sake!”

Cos it’s Pool Night, big appetite 
For downing beer and potting balls
It’s Pool Night, we’re dynamite!
Wild high fives when the last one falls
It’s Pool Night, it’s Pool Night
The cue tips old, but it feels all right
Yeah, it’s Pool Night, it’s Pool Night 
It’s Pool Night, it’s Pool Night fever
Friday night Pool Night!

I put some back spin on the white ball
To hit the black, but not follow in
Sadly, it hit it badly, shot off the table into the bin!
Needless to say we didn’t win!

It’s Pool Night at Steve’s
And Smokin’ Jeff’s been crowned the King
We’ll all be back again next week
But another week won’t change a thing!

Still, it’s Pool Night, hit it it right
Knock it in the hole and away you go
It’s Pool Night, Jeff strikes a light
Takes a real long drag then he steals the show
It’s Pool Night, it’s Pool Night
The eyes are shot, but the grip is tight
Yeah, it’s Pool Night, it’s Pool Night
It’s Pool Night, it’s Pool Night fever"
Friday night Pool Night!

Pool Night Fever (Lo-fi Bonus track)

This is a cool number that Chris and Eddy had been sitting on for about a year or so I believe.  They sent it to me and I really liked it.  I added some wacky percussion noises and the lead guitar throughout.  Then Chris put in some vocals.  was great working together with them.  It's called No Rush

eddyoffline - bass guitar
C.G. Maness - composition, acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics
TexMex Shaman - lead guitar, wacky percussion and mix


Lyrics:
I don’t know where we went wrong.
Did we ever get off?
As the train moves along,
I’ll sing my railway song.
There’s no time to rush,
Should we get out and push?
No hungry mouths to hush.
I’m done hiding in the woods.
No rush, take your time.
There’s underdogs on the mainline.
No need to heed the signs.
We roll slow on this grind.
No rush, I’ll say it again.
You river rats that cooled my hand.
A blank stare and a grifter's grin.
“You’re just bluffing” said the drifter's friend.

No Rush - w/ eddyoffline and C.G. Maness

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 --Mark-- horns and shakers
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—Sublime Keyboard and Organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, vocals, composition, and mix
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass 
This song was written by Ken and a dearly departed friend and former bandmate named Chris Bennett about the latter's divorce that he was going through at the time when their band was also breaking up. Ken had a good demo of the two of them fleshing it out, which the Eclectic Collective used as a template for the song. Josh was first to add his unique slide bass line to the song. Next up was Tez, who added the fiery solo you hear at the end. Stephen came in not too long after with the rhythm guitar, complete with the intricate fills you hear throughout. Around the same time, Mark added some really innovative, genre-bending horns and shakers to it. Ken then completed the song with his stellar vocals. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so Ken turned it over to Stephen for an objective mix, although Ken was still heavily involved in the process, too. This is the first time Ken has sung lead for an EC song, and we were all very impressed with his skills on this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Chris Bennett:

I once believed in happy ever after
Now I’m convinced by tears instead of laughter
There’s not much good inside that’s left to do the things for my survival

If I relied on you to make it better
I’d die a 1000 times, before we get together
All that is bad inside will rise back to the top
With your arrival

Burn down the doorway
Run down the hall
Scream out my name
But I may never hear you, never hear you
Drive down the highway
Until you’re gone
I may never hear you call

I still believe that someone’s always watching
Each time I turn around, I never hear them talking
All that is bad inside will never fade away with your arrival

Burn down the doorway
Run down the hall
Scream out my name, but I may never hear you
Never hear you
Drive down the highway
Until you’re gone
I may never hear you call

Na Na Na  Na Na Na
Na na na
