Day one in quarantine    I never dreamed I'd see
a virus like Covid 19
No one can see the virus     It could be right beside us
Give me some sanitizer please
     COVID 19 WONT YOU LEAVE US ALONE
     COVID 19 WONT YOU GO BACK HOME
No one is safe outside and I don't want to lie
It's getting cray cray everyday
If I live to tell about it   I'm going out to shout it
I'm going to live another day
     COVID 19 WONT YOU LEAVE US ALONE
     COVID 19 WONT YOU GO BACK HOME
No one can see the virus    It could be right beside us
Give me some sanitizer please
When this thing is over     Ill be more sober
I'm going to live another day
COVID 19 WONT YOU LEAVE US ALONE
COVID 19 WONT YOU GO BACK HOME

Spout It Out

Santa I'm Counting on You (demo) 8

(Scroll down for lyrics)

Ever try to set a boundary with someone but keep getting sucked back into the same drama? 

They say or do something, and you’re right back in it. Or, you start the same pattern all over again with someone else. “One lesson learned on repeat.” 

I wrote “Shadows” while I was discovering the power of walking away. Not winning, not getting the last word, not being right or the other person being wrong, not getting an apology, or the other person getting whatever it is I think they deserve. 

Just me finally being done. The win is being free of the pattern. 

Makes me feel like dancing.

Lyrics:

Well, aren't you tragic, baby 
Caught up in the magic of your
Half-hearted fantasies
You're living off the sympathy
When all you really wanted was
To take the place of God 
And everyone
You'd really rather be  
You're just a shadow

Well, isn't it madness
Your addiction to this sadness 
When you have the ability
But never do it differently
And all you ever talk about
Is how the world has sold you out
With everything
As far as you can see
Casting shadows 

Shadows
That daylight throws
That never let you go
That never let you go

It's a bad fucking habit
I bet you think you're cool to have it
And I don't know what you want from me 
I'm still not buying anything
And you can't give me my money back
You know I never wanted that  
'Cause everything
You beg and borrow and steal
Turns to shadows

So you can lie
You can try 
You can say how hard you cried
You can make your counterclaim
And you can say that I'm to blame 
I'm not playing anymore
It's just you keeping score
And you'll never win
You'll never win with me
So cast your shadows 

Shadows
That daylight throws
That never let you go
They'll never let you go
Shadows
They never let you go

Lyrics:

VERSE
She can break your heart without trying
And do it with a twinkle in her eye
But when she calls your name you’ll be flying
Before she says goodbye. But she won’t tell you why
All the other girls wanna be her
But she cuts them with her wicked attitude
And all the boys around want to meet her
To see what they can do. But they don’t have a clue
They say

CHORUS
“She’s so pretty when she’s mad
She’s so cool when she’s unkind
She’s so pretty when she’s mad”
So tell me why she’s pretty all the time

VERSE
Pretty any time that she’s spilling all your secrets
And throwing down with someone else’s man
Trying to start a mad disagreement
Just because she can. She don’t give a damn
And when I ran my investigation
I think I finally realized the truth
It’s all about a girl’s reputation
It’s all that she can do to try to make it through

CHORUS
She’s so pretty when she’s mad
She’s so cool when she’s unkind
She’s so pretty when she’s mad
So tell me why she’s pretty all the time

SOLO 

VERSE
Now I can understand that she’s entitled
To feeling a just a little bit annoyed
It’s really just a matter of survival
For dealing with those stupid little boys
‘Cuz…

CHORUS
She’s so pretty when she’s mad
She’s so cool when she’s unkind
She’s so pretty when she’s mad”
And I know why she’s pretty all the time

Pretty All The Time

An up tempo ode to the nosey neighbor...

LYRICS:

VERSE
Did you know about your neighbors?
And how they lost it all
In a Ponzi scheme involving NFTs

Yeah I could fill you in later
But you’d just be appalled
And besides I pride myself on being discreet

CHORUS
You didn’t hear it from me
You didn’t hear it from me

And what about the teacher
Who was huge on OnlyFans
Her subscriber list was leaked a week ago

On it was the preacher 
And your congressman
And a thousand other people you might know

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I’ll be staying in your business
Until my inspection’s through
Can you really call it gossip
When most of it is true?

You know what I mean?
You didn’t hear it from me

VERSE
I can see you’re agitated 
About your privacy
I’m just afraid that’s how it goes today

But if it gets invaded 
And you’re thinking it was me
Well you know exactly what I’m gonna say…

CHORUS

BRIDGE

You didn’t hear it from me… (out)

Busybody (You Didn't Hear it from Me)

Buddy Holly meets The Ramones in the closest I get to being romantic. Don't worry...it's not a ballad.

Lyrics:

CHORUS
Baby, who do you think you are?
To make me feel like a rock ‘n’ roll star


I don’t need to throw a TV out the window
I don’t need to wreck my hotel room
‘Cuz nothing else is ever as exciting
Than hanging out and kicking it with you

CHORUS

I don’t need to dance around big arena 
Playing to a million screaming fans
And I don’t even want a single groupie
‘Cuz nobody else gets me like you can


BRIDGE
And we can just sing along
To your favorite song
On the radio

SOLO

BRIDGE

I don’t really care that much for fashion 
It was nothing I could ever get into
But I’ll try to keep my belt and shoes matching
So I can look my best when I’m with you


CHORUS
