(Lyrics).....
In the year thirteen, everything is crazy
in the year thirteen, it's a hell of a ride......

(chorus)....As we face the new millennium, we must prepare to face the change
Surrounded by so much pandemonium, don't take it too hard if it feels strange.....
  
In the year thirteen, intolerance is everywhere
In the year thirteen, there's hate all around
I'm not bein too extreme, you can smell it in the air
But i still have that dream, that love comes to town......(chorus)

In the year thirteen, Mother Nature is pissed
In the year thirteen, she'll be showin her temper
'Stead of treatin her like a queen, she's always bein dissed
'Don't want a mother scorned, and i don't wanna tempt her.....(chorus)

..........(guitar solo).........
In the year thirteen, possibility is everywhere
Dirty or clean, it's all up in the air.......
...........(guitar solo)..........

In the year thirteen, we have some choices to make
In the year thirteen, lets hope we come together
We're all on the same team, we can repair all the breaks
And i still have that dream, that we can make it all better.....(chorus)"



The Year Thirteen

Adios Amigo - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2014 Eddie Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics).....
Adios Amigo, until we meet again
And wherever we may go,
 i know we'll always be friends
Although our paths may differ, and go their own separate ways
Adios Amigo, you'll be my friend till the end of days

Adios Amigo, how will our stories end
And whichever way the wind may blow,
 I hope it sends you here again
Simple laughter and a simple song, 
Always a smile on your face
Adios Amigo, i hope you finally find your place

(solo)
There's so much more i'd like to know, 
Just a little more to ease my mind
The air is cold and the wind blows snow,
 It's a lonely day that i find

Adios Amigo, i hope we meet again
Laughter rising from a troubled soul
You'll always remain my true friend
No matter how long or how far, I wish you luck on your chase
Adios Amigo, i hope you finally win your race...

Adios Amigo

Times Are Changin (Everythings Gonna Be OK) - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2014 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics).....
Times are changing, changing day by day
Doesn't matter what they say, they're gonna change anyway
Times are strange, i know you know they are
They are quite bizarre, has it gone too far........

Just try to be aware
Try not to be so scared
Throw off your worries and cares
And try n get your share
Everythings gonna be alright
Please just try not to fight
Everythings gonna be ok
No matter what they say

Times are changing, and you know it's true
Ain't nothin you can do, the change 'ill come over you
But the mind plays tricks and it can make you fear
Even what is so clear, the change is already here......

The changes come so fast
They sweep away the past
Everythings gonna be ok
It's just another day
Just hang on, hold fast
And let the worries pass
Everythings gonna be alright
Please just try not to fight.....

(solo)

It's ok, it's only in your mind
Everythings gonna be just fine, so quit your cryin
Just ride the changes, make them work for you
It's all that you can do, if you wanna make it through......

Just try to be aware
Try not to be so scared
Everythings gonna be alright
Please just try not to fight
Everythings gonna be ok
No matter what they say
You don't have to feel that way
It's just another day......

No matter what they say
It's just another day
You don't have to feel that way
Everythings gonna be OK









Times Are Changing - (Everythings Gonna Be Ok)

The Last Song - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2014 Edward L. Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics).....
This is the last song, the party's about to end
Surprised it lasted this long, it was starting to be a trend
As the pages are turned, there is nothing left to say
All regrets they are spurned as we let the last song play

(chorus).....
And the time it goes by, it's flyin away on wings
All that's alive must die, that's the way of all things
Don't be sad, take it in, it's ok just start again
Wasted tears are a sin, it's ok just start again

This is the last song, it's all coming to a close
It was fun but now it's gone, to where nobody knows
Playing softly in the past, it can still be heard today
No regrets it went so fast, just let the last song play

(chorus).....
And the time it goes by, it's flyin away on wings
All that's alive must die, that's the way of all things
Don't be sad, take it in, it's ok just start again
Wasted tears are a sin, it's ok just start again

(guitar solo)
.....Last chorus.....
Hear the last song play, it's riding on the wind
It's all around you every day, listen close you'll hear it again
Don't be sad, take it in, it's ok just start again
Don't be sad, take it in, let the last song play again........

Open Up (Not Without A Fight) - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2015 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics).....
Everything is ok, everything's alright
I keep tryin to say, but you worry all night
Open your eyes and take it in there's nothin there to fear
Everything has to begin, the beginning's already here
It's just you cannot see it your eyes they are shut tight
And you wont accept it, not without a fight

Everything will come to you, just open up your mind
Understanding things brand new can take a little time
The first step is the hardest, be careful how you tread
It can take you to the farthest reaches of your head
It's just you cannot see it your mind it is closed tight
And you wont accept it, not without a fight

But it's too late for that, accept it you must try
I know it's brand new to you don't waste your time askin why
Everything is alright, everythings ok
Just sit back and hang on tight and listen to the music play

(solo)

See, the time that you worry could be better spent
So use your time wisely 'cause you'll wonder where it went
And don't waste your time on fearin things that you'll have to face
Just know that what the future brings is up to the human race
It's just they cannot see it, their minds they are shut tight
And they can't accept it, 'cause all they do is fight
But everything is ok, everything is fine
If only they could learn to play nice and open up their minds"

Open Up

Sloppy Mess - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2016 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics).....
Oh my, it's a sloppy mess
And it's all my fault i must confess
But ya gotta consider, iv'e been under a lot of stress
And in my confusion i created a sloppy mess
But hey that's alright, anyway
I really don't care  what anyone says

Oh my, it's such a sloppy mess
You can never tell what's comin next
And it's all your fault, why won't you confess
Just take a look around you and see your sloppy mess
But hey that's alight, never mind
No one cares anyway, they ain't got the time

(solo)

Oh why, do we make such a sloppy mess
We don't have in mind what is best
Just a mode of singular thinking, oh fuck the rest
As we gleefully stumble along leaving behind our sloppy mess
But hey, that's alright, never mind
No one cares anyway, they ain't got the time

Oh, lets clean up our sloppy mess

Sloppy Mess

I'm A Dog & You're My Toy - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2016 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics).....
You could love me, you could hate me
Thinking of me, anticipate me
You could hurt me, you could break me
You could curse me, and forsake me
But you know i make you feel
I show you what is real
I let you step outside
Of that shell in which you hide

You could leave me, don't believe me
You could smile , and deceive me
You could hold me, and control me
Try to break me, like you told me
But i dare you to try
You'd only waste your time
'Cause it's a game that i enjoy
I'm a dog and you're my toy

(solo)

You could hurt me, you could break me
You could curse me, and forsake me
But you know i make you feel
I show you what is real
I let you step outside
Of that shell in which you hide
But i dare you to try
You'd only waste your time
'Cause it's a game that i enjoy
I'm a dog and you're my toy




I'm A Dog & You're My Toy

Every Storm Is Just A Story - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2016 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

Every storm is just a story
With every word, in a drop of rain
And if you listen very closely
There is quite a lot it has to say
Well it started rather softly
Giving way, to so much more
What i found in the words it told me
Falling truths, in a steady pour

Well the day it started abruptly
It woke me up before i got to sleep
That's ok, i just take it lightly
'Put on my shoes, and i hit the street
And as i walk outside the doorway
I feel the rain, blowin in the wind
That's ok, there's a storm a comin
And i greet it just like a long lost friend

(solo)

Every storm is just a story
Every chapter, a passing cloud
With it's lightning, and it's thunder
It speaks it clear, and tells it loud
It tells us nothin is forever
All things pass, and all things end
But when you think that it's all over
Listen up, 'cause here it comes again

Every storm is just a story
And it has a lot to say
It tells of the past and of the future
It tells us everything will be ok
And if you believe that you're crazy
Well so am i anyway
They let it all go 
They just let it fade away

Every Storm Is Just A Story

Make It Better - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2016 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics)......
There are things i find when i'm not lookin
They are the things i do not need
It drives me crazy whenever it happens
And it happens too often to me
And what i found, and what i find, is just clutter
And it only gets in the way
And i try, everytime, try 'n make it better
I try 'n make it better every day
 (solo)
There are days i feel like i'm trippin
Then things get crazy and i'm blazin trails
I just laugh whenever it happens
I ride the waves with wind in my sails
What i found, and what i find, is only colors
And it brightens up my day
All of the time, with everything i try, it just gets better
'Cause i make it better every day
(solo)
All the things i see when i'm not lookin
Are some of the best things iv'e ever seen
It makes me smile whenever it happens
And i wish it happened more to me
And all that i find, whats in my mind, is just the future
And the future's comin fast
So give it a try, with an open mind, try 'n make the future
Try 'n make it much better than the past
(solo)
Try 'n make it better than the past
Were gonna make it better than the past
Yeah, were gonna make it much better than the past

Old Mans Son - words and music written and performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2011 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

A song about the troubled relationship between a father and his son.
(Lyrics).....
This is the story of the old mans son, who shot him dead with his own damn gun
The old man it seems never gave him enough love, there was always something else he was thinking of
Daddy daddy daddy, why ya treat me this way
No matter what i do ya got nothin nice to say
Daddy daddy daddy, gonna show you some day

This is the story of the old mans son, who's story ended even before it begun
The old man it seems blamed him for the loss of his wife, givin birth to the boy ya know, she lost her life
Baby baby baby, why ya do this to me
Take away my love, condemn me to misery
Baby baby baby, you'll get no pardon from me

(guitar solo)

This is the story of the dead mans son, who shot himself dead with the old mans gun
The old man it seems only bonded with his son, when they went out huntin and shootin guns
Daddy daddy daddy, won't ya teach me how to kill
I'll show you i can shoot straight, show ya i got the will
Daddy daddy daddy, gonna show you how i feel

This is the story of the dead mans gun, used first on himself and then on his son
The son ya know it seems was feelin pretty bad, all that mistreatment finally drove him mad
Daddy daddy daddy, i got somethin i think you should see
I'll show you i can shoot straight, your gonna be proud of me
Daddy daddy daddy, gonna set us both free"

All Men Are Created Equal (The Cost Of Harmonious Living) words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. 
©2016 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics)......
I have seen the words, written on the wall
Everyone has heard, but will they heed the call
Will we stand by truths written in the past
Will we make them realized, finally at last
All men are created equal, and so it says
The cost of harmonious living, but will we pay
I hear them say, can you hear them say, can't you hear them say

We wrote those words for you, we hoped you'd make them true
We left you our ideals, we hoped you'd make them real
Will you honor words, written in the past
Will we make them realized, finally at last
All men are created equal, and so we say
The price of harmonious living, but will we pay
Can you hear them say, i can hear them say, can't you hear them say.....

(Solo)

I could hear the words, written on the wall
We left you something to build on, but instead you let it fall
We must get our acts together, standing side by side
Forgetting race, forgetting creed, forgetting our foolish pride
All men are created equal, and so we say
It's the cost of harmonious living, but are we willing to pay
I can hear them say, can you hear them say, why can't you hear them say
I hear them cry, can't you hear them cry, why can't you hear them cry
Don't let it die

Hey Mr Orange - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2017 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

"Hey Mr Orange we don't tolerate kings
We don't like dictators or any such things
We don't like Nazis or the KKK
This is the bastion of freedom it's the USA
Swamprat billionaires and eight deadly sins
Now our friends don't like us and Putin grins

Hey Mr Orange with the funny hair
A thin skinned man child who doesn't play fair
He's in an alternate reality with alternate facts
Lyin and cheatin always on the attack
He's way too much he's over the top
Someone take his twitter away and make him stop

Ya got a lot of people marching in the street these days
They worry Democracy is slippin away
They got a lot of concerns better hear what they say
They are the real true patriots of the USA
They wont take it lightly they wont be layin down
We stand united feet firmly on the ground
We dont like Nazi's or the KKK
We are the real true patriots of the USA

Hey Mr Orange, Hey Mr Orange
Hey Mr Orange better hear what we say
Hey Mr Orange we ain't goin away"

With You - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2016 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

Lyrics.......
Iv'e been searchin for you in the rain
'Spend my life, i'll still be carrying this pain
Just to hold you in my arms once again, to be true
There isn't anything i wouldn't do
Once again to be with you, with you

Iv'e been searchin for you in the dark
Spend my nights aimlessly wanderin around in the park
'Cause in my heart i'll still be carrying a spark, for you
There isn't anything i wouldn't do
Just once again to be with you, with you

(solo)

Iv'e been searchin every day after day
Just been thinkin about what i'd say
I'd probably fumble it all anyway, to be true
There isn't anything i wouldn't do
To once again be with you, with you

With You

I'm Still Chasin

Dark Chocolate - words and music written and performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2011 Eddie Conlon. All rights reserved

A rockin tune about a couple of star crossed lovers.
(Lyrics).....
He had a passion for dark chocolate so sweet and smooth
How dirty was his thoughts when he made his move
White boy from the wrong side of town, gets in on her scene and starts to groove

(chorus)...
Dancin and a shakin, lovin and a makin
Givin and a breakin, cannot last you're mistaken, yeah, oh yeah

She always liked vanilla when she was a kid
Always had two scoops whenever she did
Black girl from the wrong side of town
Gets with her lover and they always hid

(chorus)...

Her friends might get jealous, his friends might not approve
Either way it goes, they'll both probably lose
Two star crossed lovers from the wrong side of town
One way or another their gonna have to choose.

(chorus 2 x)



Dark Chocolate

I am a singer songwriter. I play guitar, bass and mandolin. 
I am the only person represented on this page. 
I write, sing, play all instruments, record and mix my own stuff and am new to mixing and mastering so if a few of the tunes sound a little rough, you know why. 
I was out of action for a long while but got back into music in 2011 and thought i should try putting together some old ideas i had........And quite a few new ones! ; ) 
Here's a few demo's of my original work. 
So kick back and take a listen, and if ya want, leave me some feedback. 
Peace
