KNIEVEL 

I almost made it over the snake river canyon 
But something was standing in my way
The crowd held their breath and I had no chance 
to make an excuse for why I couldn’t land it 

I’m sorry that you paid to see this 
I thought we could make it but thoughts are deceiving 
If I can’t be everything I wanted to be 
Will you still want me?

I’m not myself right now 
It’s gonna take time to sort me out
I’m not myself right now 
It’s gonna take time, it’s gonna take time

I almost made it over to you but I couldn’t get through
The thought of blood in the water 
I used to be cocky when somebody loved me 
But love is a liar, at least it was to me 

I’m sorry that you paid to see this 
I thought I was fearless but thoughts are deceiving 
I can’t be everything I wanted to be 
Will you still want me?

I’m not myself right now 
Gonna take time to sort me out
Crash into holy ground
It’s gonna be violent, but we like the sound 
We like the sound, we like the sound 

You know it when you hear the sound
You’ll know it when you hear the sound 
You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know
You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know 

I’m not myself right now 
I’m not myself right now 
I’m not myself right now 
It’s gonna take time 
It’s gonna take time 
It’s gonna take time

This song "If" from my forthcoming album titled Be Creative features the famous poem by Rudyard Kipling. Thank you to Rosita Stone for additional vocals, Glen Milchem (Blue Rodeo) Drums and Fergus Hambleton for Clairinet. 

If By Rudyard Kipling

2.	“Wasted” – was written when I was still actively drinking and working hard out on the road trying to overcome the need to self sabotage every night. The story is a real time sequence of events and the play on the word “wasted” was to depict the self knowledge that arose in the person who was so obviously out of control. It takes a long time to wake up, while you’re in the depth of addiction; it can seem that nothing is happening, but even a small hint of clarity can begin to alter the course in one’s life. I wanted the guitars to be raw and the voice flat and electronic in a way that was real, depicting the numb feeling of going through the day in an altered state. The bridge is about my family reaching out to help.

Medigoround
When all you wanna do is lay down
Your head is spinning round and around
Your doctor says you might be crazy
and sends you to the pharmacy

He tells you that it’s all in your head
his lack of insight fills you with dread
He offers a solution for you
“HRT is what you must do”

It’s not inside your head
I said it’s not inside your head
No it’s not inside your head
It’s not inside your head

Your hopes of health are turning to ashes
as you put up with the hot flushes
an under active thyroid they say
and doctor shopping is the new way

Your gaining weight and wondering why
losing hair and feeling so shy
Your use of pharmaceuticals grow
and still your energy stays low

Menopause and inflammation
Sleepless nights and Jeans too tight
Cupboards full of medication
Try some meditation tonight

The voice of reason is ringing in your ears
words of compassion, there’s nothing here to fear
and if you listen the truth becomes clear
It has never been inside  - never been inside your head

I’m calling this a medicine song
and hoping that you’ll all sing along
a better way is waiting for you
and if you’re ready that’s what we’ll do

Your girlfriend turns you onto a book
the answer is inside if you look
just change your diet and try some herbs
It’s a virus that’s attacking your nerves

Eliminate the eggs and dairy
add some Zinc and wild Blueberries
your immune system is always your friend
so don’t suppress it and pretend


We’re on a Medigoround - It’s not inside your head
I said It’s not inside your head
We’re on a Medigoround - No it’s not inside your head
It’s not inside your head

Forget the Medication, try some Meditation
