Hunger

The Circus

Oblivious

Excite Me Much

Unholy river

I

I was a bell jar full of storm
and you a trapping lid
boy you´re such a Nancy boy
so I guess that makes me Sid
In my bed I sleep with many books
and they please me like you never did

// 

Show me slowly
how you stole me
from the deep blue sea
and now you tell me off
you won´t be needing more of me

he says he tried 
but he failed to deliver
and words run right through
me like some 
Unholy river
Unholy river


II

I had a vivid dream I wore a satin dress
barefeet and red lips like Marilyn Monroe
I had an avid man and he had avid hands
and I cried in his face: give me shelter
I cried in his face: keep me warm
or please let me go

//

Show me slowly
how you stole me
from the deep blue sea
and now you tell me off
you won´t be needing more of me

he says he tried 
but he failed to deliver
and words run right through
me like some 
Unholy river
Unholy river

UNHOLY RIVER

Dogeye minute 

I.
It was a street-shark-kiss on the lips
you shoved me up to the wall
you counted 1 2 3 4 
baby yeah you knew I would fall
baby yeah you knew I would fall

II.
Wet with praises and off your face
you with your dogeyes bitten with
my love it´s only minutes ticking 
and all of this will be forgotten
a mouth full of you
is a mouth full of cotton

Chorus:
It was a dogeye minute
then you went awol
can´t call that love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x4)

III.
Cold white tiles I´m gonna stay awhile
barefeet, hurt and dry I´d walk a mile
eye to eye just to say
Hey wasn´t it all just a
Hey wasn´t it all just a

Chorus:
Dogeye minute 
then you went awol
can´t call the love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x4)

Bridge:
An eye for an eye
a kiss for a tooth
a headache, a sunrise
a table for one
now that you´re gone
wasn´t it all just a 
wasn´t it all just a

Chorus:
Dogeye minute 
then you went awol
can´t call the love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x2)

It´s like I never knew you, knew you
At all 
It´s like I never knew you, knew you
At all 
At all.

DOGEYE MINUTE

Petrov The Hero

Rodeo

Here's a song from 1996 recorded by my band at the time, "Jon Colton &amp; His Enemies," which included Kelly Castro on bass, Mark Posegay on drums and Greg Camp, from Smash Mouth, on electric guitar and backing vocals. I remember asking Greg to join the band, but he had just started Smash Mouth and wanted to see if anything would happen with it. I remember thinking, "Yeah, right, he'll be back..." Oops.

                                      words and music by Jon Colton and Whitney Wade


Once I had you alone,
Confetti and streamers
Lay where they were thrown
And every street sweeper
Was more the Grim Reaper
Of what we had sown

You could not compromise
The weight on your shoulders
A word to the wise:
The wisdom you cherish
Will stagger and perish 
Under your pride

Looking for a thread
To tie me to anything
Holding on instead
To this easily accessible dread

Now, when we say “goodbye”
Parades will turn over
And clutter the sky
With cars and confetti
The ticker-tape’s ready
And gravity’s gone
