A rocking song about a bitch.  Lots of guitars!!

Lyrics:
Josephine, now what's your game?
It's my parade why ya gotta rain?
Life's too short, now don't complain.
I don't want to share your bitter pain.

Josephine, in your morning glory,
Hair pulled back like a racing pony,
Fangs cleaned up so they're ready to bite..,
You're the only one that knows you're in a fight.

Spend your life on the edge of town,
Drinking red wine and sleeping around.
Bet you didn't think life would be this way.
All you gotta do is get out and play.

Josephine, in your morning glory,
Hair pulled back like a racing pony,
Fangs cleaned up so they're ready to bite..,
You're the only one that knows you're in a fight.

You think your life's a party; you're just a drunk.
You think your ship sailed; I think it sunk.
I'm not going to spend much time with you.
I'm sure you feel the same way too.

Josephine, in your morning glory,
Hair pulled back like a racing pony,
Fangs cleaned up so they're ready to bite..,
You're the only one that knows you're in a fight.

Fangs cleaned up so they're ready to bite..,
You're the only one that knows you're in a fight.


DC Crank - Josephine

Wrote this one Sunday while overlooking Hong Kong's Discovery Bay, and its lush jungle mountains.  Was a fine, quiet morning in a stunningly beautiful city.  I was deliberately trying to write a "nice" song to counter the aggression and anger of Find A Place.  This nicely captured my mood.

Lyrics:

He woke as the sun was shining bright,
And the waves sparkled in the morning light.
Happy just to see such a sight.
I suppose he was feeling alright.
I suppose he was feeling alright.

Sunday Morning, by the Bay.
Sunday Morning, feeling okay.
Sunday Morning, humming a tune...
Hope to see you soon.
Hope to see you soon.

So he headed out to start his day.
Shook a hand he met along the way.
Watched the sea across the smokey Bay.
Turned and smiled as he heard her say,

Sunday Morning, by the Bay.
Sunday Morning, feeling okay.
Sunday Morning, humming a tune..,
Hope you come back soon,
Share an afternoon,
Swim the spring monsoon.
Hope to see you soon.
Hope to see you soon.
Hope to see you soon.

Gritty slow rock guitars help tell the tale of a man who lost himself to drugs, sex, booze, and finally a gun.

Lyrics:

Lying down in Tequila Town,
I got so lost, well I cant be found.
My name sounds like another guy..,
Who crossed his heart, Lord, and hoped to die.

Empty bottles lie on the floor,
Remind me of the night before.
I cant look up, when I'm lying down.
Another cold night in Tequila Town.

Head down in Tequila Town.
Running down in Tequila Town.
Losing myself in Tequila Town.
Head down in Tequila Town.

Sun comes up with a rum and coke.
Lucky Strike girl just a guilty joke.
She took my low, then she took my dough.
Left no note, just a line of blow.

Back up north, well she waits for me..,
And wonders what became of me.
I wonder too, as I clutch my gun.
No pardon for this distracted son.

Back up north, well she waits for me..,
And wonders what became of me.
I wonder too as I clutch my gun.
No pardon for this distracted son.

Head down in Tequila Town.
Running down in Tequila Town.
Losing myself in Tequila Town.
Head down in Tequila Town.

Lyrics:

I was flying upside down before she came my way.
Pulled me out from heavy thunder, turned dark night to day.
Shaman Lady, bright and scary, was all my eyes could see.
A fleeting vision, a slight of reason, of all that we would be.

Find the Light, and head straight to it.
Scale the height, and slide right by it.

She flew thru an open window right inside my mind.
Filled my thoughts with open taunts, and left control behind.  
Shaman Lady drives me crazy with unrestrained desire.
I am lost in her taunts, and I'm just climbing higher.

Find the Light, and head straight to it.
Scale the height, and slide right by it.
Slide right by it.

I'm heading out thru darker fields were strong men fear to go.
I'm whistling past the warning signs and I cannot say no.
She's got me in a magic spell, times passes much too slow.
She's a river running wild, and I'm caught in the flow.

Find the Light, and head straight to it.
Scale the height, and slide right bye it.
Find the Light, and head straight to it.
Scale the height, and slide right bye it.

I envisioned this as a hard-rocking dance-floor club tune.  Rock guitars, a Santana-esque lead and keyboard with a driving four-on-the-floor beat.

Lyrics:
Well I found out today that she was gone.
And I wondered to myself, what went wrong?
I sat with my guitar to write this song.
I figured she'ld be back before too long.
I didnt know how to feel about this thing on my mind.

Well my dad passed away a few years back.
It seems he'd done the best anyone could ask.
I numbed to it all for quite some time.
Then angry at the world for this crime.
I didnt know how to feel about this thing on my mind.

I wondered where I was heading too.
Sometimes so lost I felt the cold of the moon.
But in the end I saw the light so blue...,
My gal beside me made my whole world true.  
Now I know how to feel about this thing on my mind.

Well I found out today that she was gone.
And I wondered to myself, what went wrong?
I sat with my guitar to write this song.
I figured she'ld be back before too long.
I didnt know how to feel about this thing on my mind.

Huge thx to Mark Vinten for re-mixing, producing, replacing the drums with fantastic beats, adding some killer lead guitar, and contributing TONS more to this tune.  Sooo much better!

Lyrics:

Cant find the groove today.
Just keep on playing, he would say.
"You broke a string, like you always do.
I'll lean back and wait for you".

Now he's on his kit, keeping time.
I'm taking notes to find the rhyme.
Says "Try again, you missed the beat".
We'ld rock away in the summer heat.

Can't find the groove today.
I wish I had some deeper words to say.
I wish to go back again.
Working on my groove again.

The girls call that dinner's on.
"Come upstairs or make your own".
"Okay", he says, "Just one more crack"
"We're working on the vocal track".

Now we're on the beach sipping Coors Light.
We're telling tales round campfire light.
Tossing the frisbee on the beach.
Our daily world is out of reach.

Can't find the groove today.
I wish I had some deeper words to say.
I wish we were back again.
Working on my groove again.

Cant find the groove today.
Just keep on playing, he would say.
"You broke a string, like you always do.
I'll lean back and wait for you".
