You're lying on your back
You've had a bit too much
You're looking at the stars

You didn't know she'd followed you
But suddenly she's next to you
Then you just talked for hours

And if she’d turned to kiss you
You'd have offered no resistance but
Instead you said it's me not you
Then she said I should go

But this is how it's meant to be
For boys with broken hearts
Don’t say it hurts, just makes it worse
Yeah this is how it's meant to feel
For boys with broken hearts
You fix it up, you shut it down

You’re back home on your own and
You’ve had way too much
It’s three fifteen AM

There’s nothing on the TV just
Creaky documentaries about
Pyramids and sharks and Nazis

And you’re listening to some song
From 1981
It’s really dark and miserable
But it carries you along

But this is how it's meant to be...

A big bank you, to Fat Pockets, (no pun intended)for making such cool music and producing this song! 
soundcloud.com/fatpockets 
Please check out his work and collaborate!

As for the lyrics, well, I'm not one to jump on bandwagons for social justice, buuuuuut...we reap what we sow if we're not willing to pull up and destroy what we've sown immediately. Some things have gone on for too long while others are now history. There's no room on this page to discuss all the harm greed has done to humanity. There's no song or lament long enough. You'll just have to settle for this! Don't think you need to read the lyrics as it's all pretty simple to hear!

Hope you like it!

She’s red hot
Yeah, she’s smoking hot
Right up to her locks
She’s every man’s dream
With cutting green eyes
Their sitting up firm and high
You can see her
Dancing on the stage
Swingin round the pole
Two coconuts and a grass skirt
She’s built to dance
Yeah, she’s got the eyes to flirt

Chorus
She’s part of the show
The all boy show
When she loses the skirt
She got a tally…ho!

Just do the Bourbon Street crawl
We’re high as the sky
And step right up
To the all boy show
It’s Saturday night
We’re feelin all right
We actin a fool
Fallin off the bar stool
She looks like a girl
dances like a girl
must be a girl!
Oh hell, it’s wigglin like a squirrel

Chorus
She’s part of the show
The all boy show
When she loses the skirt
he got a tally…ho!

This is a weird one, it started with me liking a little ditty by Alpha Roots (https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots) called Hot which I sort of hummed a vocal melody to “She’s Hot” and thought a song about a transvestite would give Alphio a grin.... 
I didn’t get far before I realised I needed John to sort me some lyrics to which he agreed, thanks mate! A couple of weeks later I got these back and they completely changed the whole dynamic so I started afresh and went raunchy. So this is actually a song about a ladyboy, he still has his tallyho and intends to keep it… if you are offended I’m sorry, this is just a bit of fun it actually reminds me of a time I chatted up my friend’s “sister” Kim whom I’d met for the first time.. but that’s another story.

She's Red Hot (Feat Russ & The All Boy Show, Pete on drums, Jorg on sax, John on lyrics)

There is now a better mastered version of this track featuring an excellent intro on Phil's page here: https://soundcloud.com/phil-mcwalter/song-for-a-fallen-rockstar-with-overture-1 which I would definitely recommend over the version here.

I wrote this song after David Bowie died – started out with a lot of lyrics – which I later worked into sections, then wrote chords and melody lines and kept on going with more sections until I’d run out of energy. Didn’t have a chance to record it until Easter when I did a basic arrangement with piano along with some strings and simple brass.

I then ran it past Phil McWalter (@phil-mcwalter) – who very kindly offered to do some guitar parts, and also had a lot of other ideas – and – to cut a long story short – Phil has since put in loads of work on the track and has developed it with enormous energy and enthusiasm (and stoic tolerance for my pickiness and un-adventurousness). We’ve ended up with a truly collaborative result that is hugely more entertaining and substantial than my first version, and Phil’s vision for the track has brought out meaning in it for me that I don't think I'd seen properly when I was writing it. Thank you so much Phil - for all your time, and all your patience!

Also many thanks to Jonathan Beckenstein (@jonathan_beckenstein) for his thoughtful and encouraging feedback on this track in both its later version and, crucially, on its first version.

Well there's a danger
If you're a rock star
And you live too long
They'll say you died too late to save your reputation

But what do they know
They still played the songs you sang
And printed photographs
Of you when you were young

Oh what do they know
Yeah what do they know
There can be no music in their souls

Just for a moment
Seemed like a star shone
Brighter than the sun

But on the next day
It was all explained away
And life just carried on

But this unbearable
Sense of impermanence
It builds us up
It cuts us down

But when the air is still
Just before the dawn
I think maybe
Oh just maybe
I could find my way back home

Then all the bad girls sing along
Coz all the good girls couldn't come
To your performance

And as the closing credits roll
All the kids get up to go
Oh maybe someone shed a tear
But we'll never know
And I begin to realise
I'm not so good at letting go

They'll try to break into your mind
They'll try to steal away your strangeness
But there’s no future with no engine of desire
Oh who’s going to paint those pictures
Who’s going to set the world on fire

Oh who needs structure for the sake of structure
Who needs love for the sake of love
When your daddy said history repeats you said
I don't want to hear about that

And when they took him away he said
Please don't test my blood
In case it's already cold

And we made up all these stories
But they turned out to be true
But we’ve got to make a new life
Anywhere but here

And we ran before the flood
And we thought our hearts would burst
But it turned out we were young
And so we didn't die

And we ran before the flood
And we thought our hearts would burst
And I took your hand in my hand
And we ran for miles and miles

And I'm dreaming that I'm lying here
With my back against the snow
I'm reaching for the stars
But the earth won't let me go
They say there's nothing left now
But something still remains
Yeah

There's something out there



Song For A Fallen Rockstar (Wheelwright & Phil McWalter)

Wake the Dead

I am a brimstone lake of acetylene
200mph class five hurricane
And you're a bad devil-rebel with a deadly romance
You can strike a man dead with a single glance
We gonna meet up in the hills
Where the skeletons dance
Yeah we gonna wake up
Yeah we gonna wake the dead

I am the sound of the shadows movin in the night
I am the breath on your skin babe before the bite
And you're a whip-crackin'
Lip-smackin hungry hound
Never takin' nothin' from any crowd
I can hear the bones shaking
Baby under the ground
Yeah we gonna wake up
Yeah we gonna wake the dead


I got a flat black wing back Cadillac 472
I take the highway downtown looking for you
But you're never where they tell you where they want you to stay
But you never did to listen to them anyway
We gonna shout till the dead are spinning in their graves
Yeah we gonna wake up
Yeah we gonna wake the dead

Wake The Dead

Your Good Intentions R Deceiving U ~ The Metamorphosis of The Arkestar Pt.1

What U get is nothing like you're receiving,
2Much £oney says it's leaving,
Wave a flag it's such a drag 2B needy,
while everybody else is stealing!

Is it the right of those who pose as our saviours
whilst they're diggin all the graveyards,
better act upon your finest behaviour
Twisted views all think they're Major's!

Rip it up, you're gonna roll on a line
believing everything you're reading,
Tear it down, its so plain you're deceiving.
while everybody else is stealing!

Your good intentions R deceiving U,
How much more do'u think I'll listen 2U
When integrity is missing from your view!

Prime Cuts: Cactus in a Coffee Cup, Back to Earth (Duet with Willie Nelson), The Day Before You

Some people release CDs that simply ride the crest of what's currently hip with their eyes incessantly fixated on the mighty dollar. Then there are those whose records are pieces of art intricately woven with the woes and joys of life in all its opaline beauty. Cannon's long awaited sophomore effort "And the Wheels Turn" proudly belongs to the latter. Daughter of hit writer cum producer Buddy Cannon (who has worked with Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, George Strait among others), Cannon has enlisted daddy's help again not only in producing this disc but also in co-writing two tracks with the rest of the songs coming from Nashville's A-list scribes including John Scott Sherrill, Ronnie Bowman, Mark Narmore, Dean Dillon, Michael Heeney, Lisa Brokop and Jennifer Hanson. Nevertheless, despite the involvement of such big names from country music, Cannon's sonic palette is still progressive bluegrass (think Alison Krauss) with the occasional splatter of country and southern Gospel. However, unlike Krauss, Cannon has a deeper and earthier alto that resonates with an understated passion that is what makes Cannon such an engaging performer.

Cannon's other trump card is that she knows how to sing a story song well. Instead of yielding to the temptation to open the disc with an attitudinal stomper, Cannon creeps into our conscience slowly and surely with a devastating heart-wrenching ballad "Cactus in a Coffee Cup." "Cactus" tells of an encounter Cannon had with a girl on a plan where she told Cannon of her mother: how she abandoned her at birth, became a drug addict and later died. With nothing much left behind, all the girl has in remembrance of her mom was a cactus in a coffee can. Without any improbable resolution, Cannon unhurried unfurls the reality of life in its starkest form making our listening experience truly heart shattering. Equally detailed in her narration is the hopefully "The Day Before You" (which is interestingly co-written by Lisa Brokop) which chronicles a loss-at-love Cannon ready to give up on romance just to find her Mr. Perfect appearing in the most unexpected time. This is certainly a treat for the hopeless romantic at heart.

Like many female artists today, Cannon has a canon of songs that speak empowerment to women. Drawing her inspiration way back into the Biblical times, "Mary Magdalene" is further bolstered by a heavenly chorus and its thumping inspirational message. Cannon shows she has attitude with her tough-chick "I take no nonsense from you" stance on the lead single "I Call It Gone." Reaching back into vaults, Cannon has chosen to record two covers. First is Willie Nelson's "Back to Earth," taken from the red-headed stranger's 2006 "Songbird" CD; this is the perfect vehicle for Cannon to slowly devour every word of this broken hearted ballad making each word stain with ache and meaning. Nelson here joins Cannon and both of them blend excellently with each other like two buddies talking about their pain in a lonely tavern. The other cover is Vern Gosdin's "Set `Em Up Joe," a track also co-written by dad (Buddy Cannon). Though Cannon's delivery is no match for Gosdin's patented nasal growl, it's still a passable barroom number.

A few bluegrass numbers (such as "Dark Shadows" and "It's Alright Here") are standard fare with fire-sped fiddling and guitar licks that seem to showcase the musicianship than the songs themselves. Though not as perfect as her debut, "And the Wheels Turn" still is a stellar record. Cannon's confident delivery augmented by her sensitive and thoughtful dictation and some well chosen ballads are what makes the wheels of enjoyment turn and turn and turn.
