(Not Quite) All of Me (John Legend Cover)

Recorded through whatever mic is built into my laptop while trying to be very quiet so as not to wake people...blame those people for how this song turned out.

Never Let Go (Tom Waits Cover)

Short clip of a NOFX cover in the works.  A lot of the instruments are missing since I still have to sit down a few times and get my mix.

Hobophobic (Bare bones sample)

I dunno...I think it sounds more lively...who cares?

North Shore (Feat. J-Fro)(Remicks)

A very different take on one of my favorite punk songs.

Hobophobic (NOFX Cover)

Another bridge is discovered way beyond the other side
Another reason to covet all the things we're not
And you sing a simple tune that lights up the living room
But no one hears a lick of it. It's static.

And I'm a pin in a cushion pushing through to the other side
I never thought of it as a habit that needed breaking
Bones that break they always heal and we felt all we're gonna feel
So open up that 7th seal

Living Room Love Song

Dad came home with a wild prediction
He said that when you die you just turn to dirt
An average dinner conversation
With Rocky Road ice cream for dessert

And outside neighbors hold their porches down  
As clouds roll in they'll await the rain
And all those people with their hymnals in hand
They sing a similar song and it's all refrain
And it goes like this

Don't let them fool you
with their bloodshot eyes just like the devil in disguise
word will see us through 
Like Kings and Angels
On a bright red day the world is gonna wash away
Dominus tecum (The lord is with thee)
Benedicta tu in mulieribus (Blessed art thou among women)

Rain rolls in 'long with a yellow sky 
The dishes stacked up in the sink
Glass-eyed neighbors standing in the yard
Dad's gonna need a stiffer drink
and the anthem roars

Don't let them fool you
with their bloodshot eyes just like the devil in disguise
word will see us through 
Like Kings and Angels
On a bright red day the world is gonna wash away
Dominus tecum (The lord is with thee)
Benedicta tu in canarius (Blessed art thou among dogs)



Don't Let Them Fool You

I fucking crack you with a ball bat, don't give a shit, if I hit, if I miss
you're gonna get a kiss from this Louisville Slugger motherfucker now
But I'm reachin back to grab my putter your picking your teeth out of the gutter
and it ain't even over, right?

Didn't your mother ever teach you how to chew your food, son?
Didn't your mother ever beat you with a wooden spoon, son?

I am power, yeah

But you know I spent the last 30 days countin' spiders on the ceiling
But I better get a backup ticker cuz my body tired of tweaking
What I don't know, it's enough to keep the bells ringing
Like the Godfather, head of the table hear me singing..

La-la-da-da-da-da-da-daaaah

Lies die, and rise from the feet of believers, don't believe me
I die, a little bit every time I see me.

I am power yeah, reigning from the highest degree

Hoo-skum-ta-bow, Hoo-skum-ta

Well it's Homonyminus and Synonyminus,
And it's a little bit of that a little bit of this
So get ready to ride yer razor straight down-wrist
and call the cops when shots pop ready or not we're not Rasta gods but we livin' on top, said

Separated from the others, lord lift me up from this insanity
I've got to keep on, keep on rocking til my mind is blown.


I Am Power

Near New York
A famous plesiosaur found far from the shore
Robert Wilson
With the cardboard cut-out he caught

One last shot
A backyard man-made mystery's all that we've got
to change their minds
like Maharajah Giapajama

Chorus
You, and your tic-tac polymer sheen 
set on a toy submarine
did it set adrift at all
I left you
to navigate fabricated waves
part imitation, part sea snake
atop this blacktop river now

From my boat
survey a scaly, scaled-down bastion of hope
and wave goodbye 
From here on out there's no turning back

A long lost truth
A forcefully forgotten relic of youth
Invades your mind
Like an anachronistic need to believe in something bigger than we are 


Maharaja Giapajama

You, do you think the-e-e-e-e-y're letting go any time soon 
Hoover's gangs sta-a-a-a-ay vigilant 

Oh Lady Strange
With those novelistic passions I despise, but they can't be denied
We'll dance our heavy-footed jig on the back porch of the white house
with Stink-Eye Smiles in tow

My left boot, will make a fine su-u-u-ubmersible 
they're in pursuit, the cold sunrise fe-e-e-e-els miserable

Oh Lady Strange
With your shoulders so strong and wide, and your bright burning eyes
We'll dance our heavy-footed jig on the back porch of the white house
with Bogman Zeke in tow

(Bridge)

I left you, Britt Convention, Iowa
and in '32, I cursed the bright red sky above

Oh, Lady Strange
With those novelistic passions I despise, but they can't be denied
We'll dance our heavy-footed jig on the front porch of the white house
with Stink-Eye Smiles in tow

We will roll town to town
spreading the dust of our souls
and when the cold rains come around
we've still got light years to go


Our Heavy-Footed Jigs

Wetter than rain, you can make your play
Ain't no shame in a girl who plays alone
Walk yer ass home, bloody nose, broken bones and only we can know
keep it all close, as my patience grows...thin

Killing me tonight, Won't change a Goddamn thing
Put your gun away, dear

Love on parade, what a glorius day
bring the family, they'll throw candy, we'll applaud
Moments like these, Soft and sweet, be repeated when I feel the need
but in times between there's no promising 

Chorus

I've been in prison for 20 years and nothing has really changed
I keep it real, when I have to, oh, but sometimes, my past brings me down
like I'm drowning, no one wants to lift me out

I remember a time when love and violence stayed separated naturally
but now they coexist harmoniously
But it better not just be me, reaching out to smash the faces of those I love
I wish someone would take them away I can't take me away 

Killing me tonight, that could fix everything
so just fire away, dear


Put Your Gun Away

Pay the man a dime, to hear you talk incessantly 
we could be friends, if only you'd shut your damn mouth

Roll them bones, leave the spiders alone
don't try to bring them home
those little bitches will just piss and moan

Leave it all behind, I’m gonna leave you incandescently 
We can pretend that I loved you, baby. Knock yourself out.

Waitin' alone on a porch all night 
Said like you'd be much later
I'll make this poor boys nightmares 
creep in your dreams

Chorus rpts x2
