SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION

IT'S IN THE SLOE GIN AND THE ICE CUBES
IT'S IN THE X THAT'S ALWAYS SEX
IN THE ANACONDA SHADOW
IN THE PEARLS AROUND HER NECK
DON'T KNOW WHY MY HEART IS RACING
MAYBE I'M UNDER A SPELL

SUBLIMININAL SEDUCTION

THE BROKEN SMOKE RING IS A WOMAN
(CRIMINAL)
A NAKED BEAUTY IN SILHOUETTE
(SUBLIMINAL)
JUST A BELLY DANCING DEMON
(CRIMINAL)
IN A MENTHOL CIGARETTE
AND SUDDENLY I THINK I LOVE YOU
I FEEL SO FRIGHTENED AND ALIVE

FROM YOUR SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION
YOUR SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION

TURN THE PAGE TO A SMOOTH BLACK VELVET
I'LL SWALLOW ANYTHING THAT YOU SELL
OH YEAH

TO ALL THOSE FADED ATTIC MAGAZINES
THAT TAUGHT YOU EVERYTHING YOU KNOW
ABOUT SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION....

One day I made a wish
And mostly it came true
But I forgot to be specific
Now I’m trying to get to you
But you don’t get me

I said a branch has snapped
You said the whole tree died
And I knew you were right
But I recall the sunlight on autumn leaves
 
Overcast in amber
Twisting in the wind
You pretty thief
Snuck through an open door
Then faded by the cold winter’s eve

Another year has passed
Saw you walking to her car
Holding her hand
Opening her door
What did it mean
Who was it all for?

And It’s there my love
The days remain alive
One chapter, you and I
Shining like sunlight on autumn leaves

Overcast in amber
Twisting in the wind
You pretty thief
Snuck through an open door
Then faded by the cold winter’s eve

Going, Going, Gone

YOU WERE TOLD WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER THAT
YOU DIDN'T NEED TO FEAR THE DARK
WHEN ALL THE WORLD SHINED LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
THERE WAS NOTHING BAD AT ALL BUT THE DARK
THEN YOU GREW UP AND ON AND WISER YOU SAY
STILL YOU KNOW BEHIND EACH PERFECT DAY
IT'S ALWAYS WAITING THERE...
THE DARK

TRAVEL THROUGH MY MIND AND IN BETWEEN
THOUGHTS AND DREAMS IT LIVES
THE DARK
AND WHERE DID YOU GO NOW I SAW IN YOUR EYES
A MOMENT YOU ESCAPED INTO THE DARK
EVERY PLANET, EVERY LIVING CELL
BREATHING ONLY TO COMPARE ITSELF
TO THE SPACE BETWEEN
THE DARK

TIME ILLUSION MIND CONFUSION
THE ANSWER NEEDS NO QUESTION
ONLY YES

TRAVEL THROUGH MY MIND AND IN BETWEEN
MY LOVE FOR YOU IT LIVES
THE DARK
AND WHERE DO WE GO NOW IT'S NEVER CLEAR
BUT I'LL BE WAITING HERE FOR YOU IN THE DARK
EVERY PLANET, EVERY LIVING CELL
BREATHING ONLY TO COMPARE ITSELF
TO THE SPACE BETWEEN
THE DARK

YOU WERE TOLD WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER THAT
YOU DIDN'T NEED TO FEAR
THE DARK

The Dark

They’re taking away my home
They’re taking away my home
They can’t leave me alone
They can’t leave me alone
And what’s a man to do
When all he thought was true, it just ain’t so

They’re diggin’ up my yard
They’re diggin’ up my yard
Makin’ easy hard
Yeah they’re making easy hard
And where’s a man to go
When everything he knows was just a show

No bombs to blast
No guns to fire
No call to arms across the wire
A flag will raise to end the fight
That’s hidden in plain sight

It’s a complicated world
A complicated world
Black white boy or girl
Black white boy or girl
Ya paste the TV news
And blame all of our blues on our own

No coup de main
No F-15’s
No government
Just kings and queens
Who’ll raise the flag to end a fight
That’s hidden in plain sight

They’re taking away my home
They’re taking away my home
They can’t leave me alone
No they can’t leave me alone

I had so much fun recording this, living and playing vicariously through the late John Wicks' jangly guitars and Phil Brown's McCartney-esque bass lines. Will Birch, the lyricist and drummer for the band The Records also produced the original track. Huw Gower, the original lead guitarist contributed the iconic octave guitar lines and there you have it. 
The Records. John Wicks, Phil Brown, rest in peace. Cheers-

WHEN YOU'RE BEING LIED TO

I'VE BEEN DIGGIN' FOR SOME ANSWERS
AND I'VE BEEN RUNNIN' FROM SOME TRUTH
DOWN THE ROAD I SEE A SUNSET
AND STILL I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE
BUT YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE BEING LIED TO
YEAH YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO
YOU WANT TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY TELL YOU
STILL YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BEING LIED TO

SUDDENLY YOU WERE A STRANGER
LIKE A GHOST WITHIN THESE WALLS
BUT WHEN YOUR EYES FELT MORE LIKE DANGER
I KNEW SOMETHING HEAVY WAS GONNA FALL

CAUSE YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE BEING LIED TO
YEAH YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO
YOU PLAY SOME MUSIC THAT YOU CRY TO
WHEN YOU'RE BEING LIED TO

I GROW WEARY OF THE CROWD NOW
WHEN IT'S HARD TO BEND A SMILE
IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD NOW
IT JUST MIGHT BE FOR AWHILE

SO WHEN YOUR HEART IS FEELING RESTLESS
WHEN THERE'S TROUBLE ON YOUR MIND
HERE COMES A DREAM TO SHINE A LIGHT ON
THE ONE THING THAT YOU'VE BEEN DENYIN'

CAUSE YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BEING LIED TO

PARTNERS IN TIME

HE WAS WAITIN' AT THE BUSTOP
IN HOLLYWOOD AT 2AM
I DROVE RIGHT BY AT FIRST
THEN CIRCLED AROUND AGAIN
HE WAS WEARIN' A SUNDAY SUIT
A FOLDED KERCHIEF IN HIS POCKET
SITTIN' PERFECT AND POLITE
LIKE A NIGHTLIGHT IN A SOCKET

I SAID 'EXCUSE ME SIR, BUT THESE BUSES...
THEY DON'T RUN THIS TIME OF NIGHT'
'AND IF YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU'RE HEADED
I COULD HELP YOU WITH A RIDE
AND HE SAID 'OH I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
AND THANK YOU YES YOU CAN'
SO I HELPED HIM UP IN MY PICKUP TRUCK
A FRAIL AND KIND OLD MAN

PARTNERS IN TIME
PARTNERS IN TIME

NOW CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME DIRECTION
WELL THAT'S THE FIRST THING I SHOULD KNOW
HE SAID 'I'M ON MY WAY TO WORK
BUT I'M NOT SURE WHICH WAY TO GO'
SO I PARKED AND WE JUST SAT THERE
BOTH OF US CONFUSED
WHEN FINALLY HE PUSHED UP HIS SUIT SLEEVE
HIS ARM WAS AGED AND BRUISED
HE HAD AN OLD SILVER BRACELET
WITH AN ADDRESS AND A NUMBER
HE LIVED A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY AND I SAID
'NOW WE'RE GETTIN' SOMEWHERE'

PARTNERS IN TIME
PARTNERS IN TIME

SO I HEADED EAST ON MELROSE
AND PULLED RIGHT UP TO HIS HOME
A WOMAN IN AN NIGHTGOWN
SHE CAME RUNNIN' OUT ALONE
AND AS SHE OPENED UP HIS DOOR
HE PUT HIS HAND ON MINE
AND HE JUST HELD IT FOR A MINUTE
BEFORE THEY WENT INSIDE

AND I WENT BACK TO MY APARTMENT
TO STAY UP TILL THE DAWN
I WOKE UP IN THE AFTERNOON
WITH MY WORKIN' CLOTHES STILL ON

In the spring of '92 as I was putting some finishing touches on one of the tracks for 'Start The Car' at Cherokee Studios in Hollywood, the Rodney King riots broke out.  Lori was in downtown LA right at the hot spot, shooting with a photographer for the album cover until late that afternoon.

By the evening things got really strange.  All the different rooms at Cherokee were booked with various artists of all races and color, and
everyone was looking at each other with mistrust as we all watched the news in the lounge.  Hostility filled the air, and I remember a fight almost broke out between two of the artists who were
yelling obscenities at each other, posturing with puffed chests.  Finally, someone changed the channel to MTV. The Michael Jackson video 'Black Or White' was playing.
It was a Twilight Zone episode, to say the least… a surreal time to be alive.

Concurrently that evening as I was driving home. the story of this song happened.  It had nothing to do with the riots.  Nothing to do with the city, the nation or politics.  It was an equally touching part of my day, and I've never forgotten it.

BORDER TO YOUR HEART

WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK LOOKIN’ DOWN INTO THE CRACKS
THINKIN’ BACK WHEN TIMES WERE BETTER, AND HOW THERE IS NO LOOKIN’ BACK
GOIN’ THROUGH THE MOTIONS OF EMOTIONS BLACK AND WHITE
AND HOW EVERY STEP I MADE HAS BEEN A LOT MORE WRONG THAN RIGHT

I WANDERED OFF INTO A WASTELAND LIKE A STRANGE NEW UNIVERSE
THE SUN WAS SINKIN’ LOW, I THINK I TOOK A TURN FOR WORSE
NOTHIN’ LOOKED FAMILIAR, EMPTY STREETS AND FOREIGN SIGNS
A LONG WAY FROM HOME, AND THE LIFE I LEFT BEHIND

THAT’S WHEN I CROSSED THE BORDER
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART
NO ANGELS WERE SINGING
NO WATERS DID PART
JUST SOMETHING THAT FELT SURE ENOUGH
TO EASE MY TROUBLED MIND
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART WAS RIGHT IN TIME

NOW THEY ASK ‘DID YOU SEE FIREWORKS?’
‘AND DID SHE TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY?’
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, WELL THAT’S A GAME YOUNG LOVERS PLAY
BUT JUST WHAT KINDA WOMAN FALLS THAT HARD IN RECORD TIME?
...A WOMAN WHO CAN TURN ON A DIME

THAT’S WHEN I CROSSED THE BORDER
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART
NO ANGELS WERE SINGING
NO WATERS DID PART
JUST SOMETHING THAT FELT STRONG ENOUGH
TO LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART WAS RIGHT IN TIME

THE KINDNESS IN YOUR SMILE ASKED FOR NOTHING IN RETURN
AND THE GENTLE WAY YOU LISTENED TAUGHT ME I HAD MORE TO LEARN
NO FOOLISH EXPECTATIONS OR TEENAGE CONSEQUENCE
I GUESS TRUE LOVE REQUIRES RESPECT
AND SOME COMMON SENSE

TONIGHT I CROSSED THE BORDER
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART
AND NOW THE ANGELS ARE SINGIN’
AND THE WATERS DID PART
‘CAUSE SOMETHING MAGIC HAPPENED THAT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART WAS RIGHT IN TIME
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART WAS RIGHT IN TIME

Homage to some of the records I grew up with... Kris Kristofferson, Bobby Bare, Merle Haggard in the 70's... a ton more.  Loved the sound of those late 60's early 70's records and tried to capture some of that!

VANESSA

OH VANESSA
WHY YOU WANNA MESS AROUND WITH ME?
YEAH VANESSA
WHY YOU WANNA MESS AROUND WITH ME?
I AIN'T NO FORTUNE TELLER
BUT ONE DAY YOU'LL SEE

'CAUSE YOU'LL GET OLDER BABY
AND ME I'LL JUST GET OLD
YES YOU'LL GET OLDER WOMAN
AND ME I'LL JUST GET OLD
AND OVER THE GATES OF ANGELS
OUR STORY IS FORETOLD

SHE SLEEPS UNDER THE OCEAN
AND WAKES UP IN THE STARS
SLEEPS FAR UNDER THE OCEAN
AND WAKES UP IN THE STARS
THEN SMILES TO LET ME KNOW
SHE DIDN'T GO TOO FAR

OH VANESSA
SOMEWHERE LONG AGO
YEAH VANESSA
OUR LOVE SOMEWHERE LONG AGO
IS IN THE LIGHT THAT SHINES
FROM THE WINDOW OF YOUR SOUL
YEAH IT'S IN THE LIGHT THAT SHINES
FROM THE WINDOW OF YOUR SOUL

This demo was made in 1988 with Marc Greene.  David Tyson was producer of the album and he did a beautiful job with the re-orchestration.  But I also still love the energy of the guitar demo, Linn Drum and all.  Sorry this cassette is a little blown out.

Letting Go Demo

Time For Letting Go (Original Demo) 1988

You're All I Wanna Do

Headlines riot in the wind
A mad world on a firing pin
Come whatever, we will never live in this moment again
So let 'em scream and let 'em shout
Can't run but we can tune 'em out
Cause we've got better, and love is forever
And you're all I really wanna do

Fear is the sound that they sell by the pound
Never short on supply and demand's record high

Shadows dancing on a wall
With a war to benefit us all
But we know better
And they'll fight forever
And you're all I really wanna do

So let's celebrate and stay out until late
We've got nothing but time left and no time to waste

Take my hand and hold it tight
For I promise you tonight
Come whatever we'll stick together
Cause you're all I really wanna do
Yeah you're all I really wanna do
