Lyrics:

Why can't she find him, he's somewhere out there,
Waiting to hold her and tell her that he cares.
But she's got this boyfriend who treats her like garbage,
She's been brainwashed to believe all his nonsense.

She will never get away.
Every day's always the same.
All of her dreams have been crushed and lost
She'll never break free, she'll never get her self outta' this place.

Perpetual trouble, he brings her down with him.
She thinks she needs him, he's got her convinced,
But everyone knows that she can do better,
If she could only break free from his tether.

She will never get away.
Every day's always the same.
All of her dreams have been crushed and lost
She'll never break free, she'll never get her self outta' this place.

For the past 5 years,
Drowning in sorrow and choking on tears.
Blindly wasting away.

And it's so sad, 
To see all the nice guys that she could have had
If only she'd open her eyes, her life would be better.

She will never get away.
Every day's always the same.
All of her dreams have been crushed and lost
She'll never break free, she'll never get her self outta' this place.
Outta' this place.

TLF - by Ed Willock

Original work and performance by Ed Willock. Recorded Spring 2007.

Lyrics:

I took off, with out saying good bye.
hopped in my van, wiped the tears from my...
I've decided to move far from here,
But my reasons for leaving have become unclear.

And I am so lost, I've come to a crossroads
Red light, green light. Which way should I go.
Lack of direction, unknown destination.
Hoping I'll end up where I belong.

It's so strange, being out on my own.
I don't have a place that I call home.
And I wonder, what tomorrow holds.
One day at a time my life unfolds.

And I am so lost, I've come to a crossroads
Red light, green light. Which way should I go.
Lack of direction, unknown destination.
Hoping I'll end up where I belong.

And I couldn't take it so I ran away.
Left behind all I know, my life's rearranged.
Don't know what's in store, or what lies ahead.
I hope I choose the right path, I hope I find my way.

And I am so lost, I've come to a crossroads
Red light, green light. Which way should I go.
Lack of direction, unknown destination.
Hoping I'll end up where I belong.

And I am so lost, I've come to a crossroads
Red light, green light. Which way should I go.
Lack of direction, unknown destination.
Hoping I'll end up where I belong.



Home is Where You Hang Your Hat

Original work and performance by Ed Willock, drums performed by R.J. Gordon. Recorded Spring 2007.
*note: This was a demo recording done in a basement.

Lyrics:

Broken up inside, broken up for good
And I never thought it would come to this.
No matter what we've tried, we couldn't make it work
And I never meant to let things slip,

Outta my hands and outta control
What the hell happened, where did you go.
There's nothing to say, it's been said before.
I told you I'm sorry, and you slammed the door.

And it's so damn hard for me to let you go,
We were in love or so I thought.
And it's so damn hard waking up all alone,
When my bed feels so big and cold.

It's outta my hands and outta control
What the hell happened, where did you go.
There's nothing to say, it's been said before.
I told you I'm sorry, and you slammed the door.

Saw what I wanted, but I did not pay attention.
And I should've noticed how unhappy you'd become
And they say you don't know what you've got till it's gone,
But I know what I had and I can't have it back,
Cause I ignored all the signs, you painted them clear
But I was just to blind to see

It's outta my hands and outta control.
What the hell happened, where did you go.
There's nothing to say, it's been said before.
I told you I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It's outta my hands and outta control.
What the hell happened, where did you go.
There's nothing to say, it's been said before.
I told you I'm sorry, and you slammed the door.

Lyrics:

Gettin' dressed, gotta' do my hair right cause 
I've got a big date tonight
Gotta' look perfect, gotta' look my best 
I'll wear my slacks and my sweater vest

Because I've got a big date tonight
Yeah I've got a big date tonight.

Going on a date with the prettiest girl, 
prettiest girl in the whole damn world.
I don't have a doubt in my mind,
We're gonna' have the time or our lives.

Cause I've got a big date tonight.
Yeah I've got a big date tonight.

I'm pickin' her up at 7 O'clock
Go to the restaurant up the block.
It's only 5 now and I can't hardly wait
I know tonight will be just great.

Cause I've got a big date tonight.
Yeah I've got a big date tonight.

After dinner we're gonna' go to the drive-in to see a show.
And if she thinks it's alright I'll grab her hand and hold it real tight.
On the way home we'll make a stop to share a float at the soda shop.
If things are lookin' bright, when I take her home I'll kiss her good night

Cause I've got a big date tonight.
Yeah I've got a big date tonight.
Yeah I've got a big date tonight.
Yeah I've got a big date tonight.
