LIFE CAN BE HARD WELCOME TO YOUR CRISIS DE JOUR! (yeah I know it’s “du jour” it’s a play on words).

CRISIS DE JOUR
F. HENDERSON
 You wanna take me over?
Well show me somethin true
You wanna rise above this
I wanna feel that too
So in the face of somethin cold
Or somethin sure
Got no time for happy endings
Welcome to crisis de jour

 
You're lost in all your maddness
You hear it callin you
Ya hate hostile dependence
But then ya need it too
So in the face of somethin cold 
Or somethin sure
Got no time for happy endings
Welcome to crisis de jour
 

A hidden part that calls for ending
Another part thats not so sure 
Welcome to your Crisis De Jour
So when you try to rise above it
When you try to close the door
It's just another Crisis De Jour

 Don't wanna make me over
You wanna make me new
Yea you don't dig my friends much
Ya wanna change them too
So in the face of somethin cold 
Or somethin sure
Got no time for happy endings
Welcome to crisis de jour


A hidden part that calls for ending
Another part thats not so sure
Welcome to your Crisis De Jour
So when you try to rise above it
When you try to close the door
It's just another Crisis De Jour

PERSISTENCE (MAKES IT’S OWN LUCK)

Crisis De Jour

CRISIS DE JOUR 2025

This is a straight ahead bluesy rock song about all the love I can endure with on woman. (Have a listen and see just how much).

MAYBE SOME LYRICS WILL HELP
Come on
My baby’s had enough of me
Now I’m just tryin’ to get along
 ain’t what it was ment to be
She’s Never one to get it wrong

My baby wants the finer things
Champagne and diamond rings
Fast cars, to live like kings
All the thrills that that shit brings

Oh baby come down to earth
What I got is what i’m worth
Lets put this car wreck in reverse
Keep in mind it could be worse. 

I need a shot of jack 
To  see this through
She said I hate ya baby  
I said i hate you too
 She said I hate ya baby 
I said i hate you too
  
Tells me every day 
She’s had her fill
She  said I hate ya baby
And I always will



My baby’s had enough of me
She got a back door man
With a front door key
A thirty eight special and 
He’s six foot three
 Whoa baby what’s
This meant to be

My baby’s had enough of me
My baby's put me on the shelf
He’s got a pistol an he’s
Six foot three
your  ass  ain’t
Gona kick
 
it’s self 

No your ass ain’t 
Gonna kick 

 it’s self
 

I need a shot of jack 
To  see this through
She said I hate ya baby  
I said i hate you too
 She said I hate ya baby 
I said i hate you too
  
Tells me every day 
She’s had her fill
She  said I hate ya baby
And I always will

I ALWAYS WILL

Another Love song about the nature of trying.
Maybe some lyrics will help.

SHE DIDN’T WANNA LIVE 
LIKE IT WAS ANOTHER LAST TIME
SHE HOLDS THE PAIN
SHE SAID THERE’S NOTHIN NEW 
AND I’LL LEAVE THE REST TO YOU
BUT BABY HERE COMES MORE OF 
THOSE
LAST TIMES AGAIN
ALL SHE DID WAS LAUGH IT OFF
 AND
STAND UP
TO FALL 
THE OTHER WAY
TIGHTLY HELD TOGETHER PIECES
OF A BROKEN HEART
STILL SHE BELIEVES 
IT ANYWAY
TELLS HERSELF SHE’LL NEVER 
FALL IN LOVE 
LOVE WALKS IN AGAIN
OH OH WE COULD 
RISE ABOVE 
SO TELL ME
WHERE DO WE BEGIN
 
OR DO WE MELT
LIKE SUGAR
IN THE RAIN
OR MELT
LIKE SUGAR
IN THE RAIN
 
 WE COULD
RISE ABOVE
DO WE MELT
OR DO WE
MELT
LIKE SUGAR IN THE RAIN
DO WE MELT
DO WE MELT
LIKE SUGAR
IN THE RAIN
AND SHE DID WAS LAUGH IT OFF
STAND UP 
TO FALL 
THE OTHER WAY
IT FELT SO TRUE 
IT’S HOW SHE KNEW
THERE WAS NOTHIN LEFT TO SAY
TELLS HERSELF SHE’LL NEVER 
FALL IN LOVE 
THEN LOVE WALKS 
IN AGAIN
AND BABY WE COULD 
RISE ABOVE
TELL ME HOW DO WE BEGIN
OR DO WE
MELT
LIKE SUGAR IN THE RAIN
DO WE MELT
LIKE SUGAR IN THE RAIN
OR DO WE
MELT
LIKE SUGAR IN THE RAIN
DO WE MELT
LIKE SUGAR IN THE RAIN

Lyrics

THE WORLD
IT’S CHANGING
IT’S PLAIN TO SEE
A  LITTLE CRAZY
BUT NOT FOR ME
I’VE BEEN A HANDFUL
TO SOME DEGREE
A POSTER CHILD 
FOR SLIDEING FREE
BURN THE HANDBOOK
DRINK GASOLINE
FIRE UP THE DUMPSTER
LEAVE IT CLEAN
LIKE FIRE AND WATER
LIKE STOP AND GO
 IT’S WHAT I GOT 
IT’S 
WHAT I KNOW

PERSISTENCE MAKES
ITS OWN LUCK
OWN YOUR SHIT
DON’T
 “PASS THE BUCK”
THIS IS NO TIME
TO SELF DESTRUCT
PERSISTANCE MAKES
IT’S OWN 
      
     LUCK

I BOW 
TO 
MISFITS
TO 
BROKE ROUTINES
TO 
NO SURRENDER
TO 
IN-BETWEENS
TO 
CRASH AND BURN
TO 
TOAST THE 
WRECK 

RISE FROM THE ASHES

‘ROUND MY NECK

I GET IT

 
PERSISTENCE MAKES

PERSISTENCE MAKES
ITS OWN LUCK
OWN YOUR SHIT
DON’T
 “PASS THE BUCK”
THIS IS NO TIME
TO SELF DESTRUCT
PERSISTANCE MAKES
IT’S OWN 
      
     LUCK

 
THE WORLD IS CHANGING

IT’S PLAIN TO SEE

PERSISISTANCE

HEY… WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?


WELL…. INVISIBILITY WOULD BE COOL

THE SECOND BEST LOVE SONG I EVER WROTE!

PERHAPS SOME LYRICS WILL HELP

You're the only one that I desire
Oh did I pour a little gas    
on your fire
I call it my mistake    
whoo
There has got to be a    
little give and take 
Now I'm  crawlin' from my house of cards
Why you got to make my life so hard
There in lies your mistake 
Don't say Don't say
Don't say not this time
Don't say not this time
No not this time

Well no one ever    
told you life was fair
You do your best to show me you don't care
Well babe thats my mistake    
Whoo
There has got to be a    
little give and take
Now I'm crawlin' from my house of dog
Seems like some other lover    
pissed you off
There in lies your mistake
Don't say Don't say
Don't say not this time
Don't say not this time
No not this time

Why don't you take my love
Don't be so cold no no no
'Cause I can't take it
And I can't let go no no 
Don't say not this time
Don't say not this time
No not this time
No baby not this time
You've Got to Give

Hold on to the love that we make

NOT THIS TIME

MAYBE SOME LYRICS WILL HELP

LYRICS

HE SAW HER
HE CALLED IT
 A LONG SHOT
WHAT DID HE KNOW
HE SAID BABY 
FORGET ME NOT

IT WAS SUCH A SMALL TOWN
HE WAITED FOR HER ALL NIGHT
MAYBE SHE’D COME AROUND
JUST MAYBE SHE’D  MAKE IT RIGHT

SHE WAS SO UNSTOPABLE
A LITTLE SMILE JUST SO
DID’NT SAY YES TO HIM
BUT THEN SHE DID’NT SAY NO

NO NO SHE DID’NT SAY NO 
SHE DID’NT SAY NO
DIDN’T. SAY YES TO HIM
BUT THEN
SHE DID’NT SAY NO

IT WAS SURELY THE HANDS OF FATE
OR MAYBE THE HANDS OF TIME
SHE ACT LIKE SHE DID’NT CARE
MAYBE HER OWN DESIGN 

FORTY YEARS IN A SMALL TOWN
HE HELD HER CLOSE ALL NIGHT
SHE PROMISED SHE’D NEVER CRY
BUT TODAY MAYBE SHE JUST MIGHT

SHE WAS STILL SO BEAUTIFUL 
A LITTLE SMILE JUST SO
AND WHEN SHE ASKED HIM WHY
HE SAID YOU DID’NT SAY NO

NO NO SHE DID’NT SAY NO

HE CALLED IT
 A LONG SHOT
WHAT DID HE KNOW

DIDN’T SAY NO

IT IS BY DEFINITION TRUE

LYRICS

 RIGHT HERE WHERE YOU ARE

I  am here 
You are there

Did we lose ourselves 
In a world this unfair
Maybe you're alone 


Or so it seems
When you hide your heart 
Deep inside your broken dreams
I could drive away 
I could try to stay
You could shut me out 
But I am yours anyway 

You will know that  I am with you
When you're a million miles away
And know that I have loved you every day
You could hope for something better
There will be no bridge too far
Just know that I am right here where you are

If I was sure
Ah you were too
Why would you walk away
From a love this true
If you're alone 
Or so it seems
Don't loose yourself

In all those broken dreams
I could drive away
I  could try to stay
You could shut me out
But I was yours anyway

You will know that  I am with you
When you're a million miles away
And know that I have loved you every day
You could hope for something better
There will be no bridge too far
Just know that I am right here where you are
(solo)
You will know that  I am with you
When you're a million miles away
And know that I have loved you every day
You could hope for something better
There will be no bridge too far
Just know that I am right here where you are

You could hope for something better

There will be no bridge too far

Just know that I am right here where you are

RIGHT HERE WHERE YOU ARE

Half Way Up Or Half Way Down  

You left town at 22
Now you’re back at 44
100 proof through  and through
Crawlin’ for the door
All the things you left behind  
And one more thing 
You’ll never find
You’re wound up til 
You unwind
Crawlin up on higher ground

Not too funny to you right now 
You’re half way up
Or half way down 

See the world in black and white
Never wrong and always right
Half as strong twice as bright 
You’re half way up 
Or half way down
Messed up things you left behind
A million things you’ll  never find
All wound up till you unwind 
Crawlin up on higher ground 

Not too funny to you right now
You’re half up 
Or half way down 
(Chorus)
Half way up half or way down
Some kind of minor miracle
You’re still around
You’re standin up till 
You fall fown 
Crawlin up on higher ground

Not too funny to you right now
You’re half or way up
Or half or way down

(Guitar solo)

(Chorus again)

HALF WAY UP

LYRICS

Well I can feel the fire 
Behind your eyes 
I can see the storm
That's comming on '
I can hear the ice 
In your replies
When you say to me
Whats gone is gone

You're the one who 
Turned me on

I hear you whisper
In my dreams

I believe you whisper


When I scream

I can't let go
I can't let go 
You gotta know 
I can't let go

When you think the world
Was  watching you 

Did you do it all
For show

The heat still rushes through my veins
And I know 

I can't let go

(Guitar Solo)

You can take a  heart 
You can break a heart 
You can look for someone
All alone
But your the one 
Who has to start
You're the  one who's 
On your own

You don't have to look 
For things to change
 
You're so different
Every day

You don't have to look 
For things to love
Oh they find you
Anyway
 
I can’ t let
I cant let 
I can’t let 
I can’t let go 

(Sax Solo) 

I can’t let 
I can’t let 
I can’t let 
I can’t let go 

It’s only Love
and that is all

I CAN’T LET GO

A SINGLE STEP...ANOTHER MILE 
LYRICS

When You Smile

when you smile 
my world is warm
when you smile 
you calm MY storm
 
If we tried 
to make this true 
A part for me 
the rest for you

so many things
MIGHT pass
you by
 a short hello 
a long goodbye

a single step
another mile
that melts away
each time You smile

It is the living making
all my trying TruE
It is the giving making 
all my dreams come through
It is for you I walk 
another mile 
I walk it all to 
see you smile.

so many things
MIGHT pass you by
 a short hello 
a long goodbye

should we try
to make this true 
A part for me 
the rest for you

a single step
another mile
that melts away 
each time You smile

It is the living making
all my trying TruE
It is the giving MAKING 
all my dreams OF YOU

It is for you walk 
another mile 
I walk it all to 
see you smile…

so many things
MIGHT pass
you by
 a short hello…

a long goodby

EVENING STARS

WHEN YOU SMILE

I LIVE EM ,THEN I WRITE ABOUT EM

THERES A HOLE

LYRICS:

Midnight on the boulevard
The kid is back in town
You never really
 lost your touch
They never put you down
So Light another cigarette
Flash another smile

You never let
the world forget
You never lost your style

Lying in your bed at night
A voice inside you cries
You were young,  but
 I could see 
The sadness
In your eyes

There's a hole in your heart
Where no one's loving you…

There's a hole in your heart
Where no one's loving you…

There's a hole in your heart
with people fallin' through

I know I'm gonna see your face
In every girl I meet
Lyin’  in the city
Cryin’  in the street

You walk away and
 don't look back
Never turn around
You broke some hearts
Along the way
They never heard the sound
 
Of lying in your bed at night
The  voice inside you cries
You were good, but 
I could see 
The sadness
In your eyes
 
There's a hole in your heart
Where no one's loving you…

There's a hole in your heart
With people fallin' through

There's a hole in your heart
Where no one's loving you…

There's a hole in your heart
With people fallin' through[Instrumental]

There's a hole in your heart
Where no one's loving you...

There's a hole in your heart
with  people fallin' through

There's a hole in your heart
Where no one's loving you…

There's a hole in your heart
with people fallin’ through…



you got the sunset smile

a sunset smile

THERE'S A HOLE

LYRICS

Maybe I'm just your prisoner held by walls of my own design
Here's the day that you let me go, the same day I said goodbye

[Chorus]
You tell me you care, but I know there's nothing there
You say that you need, but I know I can't bleed for you now
Just a matter of time, with it all on the line, we're gone, gone, gone
I don't care like you don't care, you don't care at all
And I'm not there like you're [Innot therestrumental], nothing's there at all

[Verse 2]
If I felt like you, held me in these walls of my own design
Oh, you can't hold me down, I'm giving up this time

[Chorus]
You say that you need, but I know I can't bleed for you now
Just a matter of time, with it all on the line, we're gone, gone, gone
I don't care like you don't care, you don't care at all
And I'm not there like you're not there, nothing's there at all
I don't care like you don't care, you don't care at all
And I'm not there like you're not there, nothing's there at all

I DON’T CARE LIKE...

I DON’T CARE LIKE…

INSIDES INSIDE OUT
LYRICS:

I SHOULDN'T FEEL
SO MUCH FOR YOU
NOT SO MUCH
THE REASON THAT I DO

MAYBE IN THE HEAT 
YOU DON’T FADE AWAY
LIKE A DREAM …
FROM THE PAST YOU’RE
HERE TO STAY

YOU SHAKE ME UP
I GOT MY OUTSIDES IN
I GOT MY INSIDES
IN SIDE OUT

YOU SHAKE ME UP 
I GOT MY DOWN SIDES UP
I GOT MY INSIDES 
INSIDE OUT

OH BABY WE GOT MILES
 BEFORE WE SLEEP
WE FACE THESE TRIALS
WE’RE IN SO DEEP


AND SOMEWHERE IN THE MORNING
WHEN WE WAKE 
IT’S YOURS TO GIVE AND
YOURS TO TAKE
 
AND SO YOU LOVE LOVE LOVE TILL
TIME IS DONE
AND WHEN I SAID 
YOU ARE THE ONE
WE ARE HERE BENEATH
A MIDNIGHT SUN 
AND WE COULD
FALL RIGHT THROUGH
ANOTHER ONE

YOU SHAKE ME UP
I GOT MY OUTSIDES IN 
I GOT MY  IN SIDES
IN SIDE OUT

YOU SHAKE ME UP
I GOT MY DOWNSIDES UP
I GOT MY UPSIDES 
INSIDE OUT

I GOT MY OUTSIDES IN
I GOT MY INSIDES
IN SIDE OUT

I GOT MY OUTSIDES IN
I GOT MY INSIDES
IN SIDE OUT

I GOT MY OUTSIDES IN
I GOT MY INSIDES
IN SIDE OUT


 I GOT MY OUTSIDES IN

I GOT MY INSIDES

A PROGRESSIVE FUNK SONG

BLOW UP DATE

LYRICS:


NOW I WAS TALKIN' TO MY BABY

THOUGHT I WAS MAKIN' PERFECT SENSE

I NEVER MEANT TO MAKE HER CRAZY

I DIDN'T MEAN TO CAUSE OFFENSE 

THE DRESS MIGHT NOT HAVE FIT RIGHT

A  LITTLE STRANGE WITH BOOTS

I’M HER ONLY VOICE OF REASON 

IN MY ASS CLOWN SUIT.

SHE SAID I DON'T  WANNA' HEAR IT 

TIME IS OVER FOR DEBATE

YOU CAN SAVE YOUR BREATH

                                FOR YOUR BLOW UP DATE


NOW I WAS LAUGHING IN A BAR ROOM

NEVER LOOKING FOR A  FIGHT

THE TIMES THAT ONE HAS FOUND ME

NEVER MADE IT RIGHT

NOW THE HOT STUFF ON THE BARSTOOL 

NEXT TO MINE WAS LOOKIN' GOOD

BUT HER GORILLA  LOOKIN’ BOYFRIEND

CLEARLY HE MISS UNDERSTOOD

I SAID LISTEN I DON'T KNOW HER

I DIDN'T MEAN TO CAUSE OFFENSE

BUT IN THE PARKIN' LOT 

THAT LOGIC

NEVER MAKES MUCH SENSE


 I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT 

TIME IS OVER FOR DEBATE

SO JUNIOR  YOU CAN SAVE YOUR BREATH 

                         FOR YOUR BLOW UP  DATE
 

NOW I'M RIDIN' TO EMERGENCY

THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING BRIGHT

I GUESS WE LEARN THE HARD WAY

SOMETIMES THOSE DOGGIES BITE


MY BABY CAME TO GET ME

THE REST WILL HAVE TO WAIT

 THEY CAN SAVE THEIR BREATH 
                                   
                                FOR A BLOW UP DATE 


NOW I'M WATCHING FOX UP ON THE TV

THE NEWS AIN'T LOOKIN' GREAT

WHY DON'T THEY SAVE THEIR BREATH
                         
                         FOR A BLOW UP DATE
 

HOW ABOUT THIS:

IF YOU CAN'T BE ANYTHING ELSE

TRY TO BE KIND

TRY TO BE KIND

Joe got up this morning
Just another days' defeat
He met his fate under the number 10
As he fell into the street
Hey Joe..
 In the doorway
You never laughed
You Never cried
Here we sell our souls
And worse
Then you just kiss it all goodbye
You're not alone
Just a face pulled down in time
Not alone
Just a few more worry lines
Where did you go?
Sooner than you planned
WOO OO HOO
And in the wind
You're just one more
 grain of sand
So take a bow
For the things that might've been
And one for the love you left behind
And one for the love you never knew
So sure you'd always find
Here we felt so young
So bulletproof
So full of charm
And misspent youth
And when your blood pressure
Banged through the roof
WE’LL miss you every day
You're not alone
Just a face pull down in time
No, not alone
Just a few more worry lines
Where did you go?
Sooner than you planned
WOO OO HOO
 in the wind
You're just one more grain of sand
Joe got up this morning
Just another days' defeat
Met his fate under the number 10
When he fell into the street
