2024-09-21 Crystal Grand - Brat-Tober-Fest - Set List

Piece by Piece
Lyrics by Perry Stephen Polito

Suspense fills the air
Surprise is everywhere
The night could cut you like a blade
Tonight, I won’t be afraid

Piece by piece I’m tearing it down
Piece by piece I’m taking over this town

Don’t try to run away
Just stay and hear what I say
You’ll see things my way 
You’ll see when you hear me playing

Piece by piece I’m tearing 
Piece by piece I’m taking over this town

LEAD SOLO

Tonight, I wouldn’t place no bets
Tonight, I’ll have no regrets
You’ll see things my way
You’ll see that I’m here to stay

Piece by piece I’m tearing it down
Piece by Piece I’m taking over this town.

Round and Round
Lyrics by Perry S. Polito

I really tried. I gave it my all.
But nobody was catching on. Nobody seemed to care.
It’s not the same. Everything is changing.
You liked it better before, well it’s too bad we had to change.

Round, round, round we’re going 
Where we’re stopping no one knows
Round, round…round we’re going.
Where we’re stopping no one knows.

Its just a game. Everyone’s playing.
But nobody wins. No one wins a loser’s game.
I got a plan for solving all your problems.  
It’ll wait until the morning tomorrows another day.

Round, round, round we’re going.
Where we’re stopping no one knows. 
Round, round. Round we’re going 
Where we’re stopping no one knows..

LEAD SOLO

BRIDGE

It’s just a game. Everyone’s playing.
Nobody wins no one wins a loser’s game.
They’re not the same. All you friends are changing.
You liked them better before? Well it’s too bad they had to change.

Round, round. Round we’re going 
Where we’re stopping no one knows.

Its the Music

Round and Round

The Complexities of Life
Lyrics by Perry Stephen Polito

Too many people keep hanging on.
But they really don’t know what they’re hanging on to.
 False hopes, wishful thinking. Never too sure.
Of what’s coming, who’s going, what should we do? 
  
I know it’s awfully hard. To do the things you have to do.

When your out in the world it’s a whole new ball game.
Fast cars, movie stars, and all the clichés.
You go to school. You learn the rules.
But that’s not where you get the facts.

Are awfully hard. Sometimes it’s just too hard to take.

SOLO

They get politicians, to make the decisions.
Some are cool and some are foolish that’s not right!
They go to school and learn the rules. 
But that’s not where they get the facts.

Are awfully hard. Sometimes it’s just to hard to take.

Complexities of Life

Lonely Girl
Lyrics by Perry Stephen Polito

I know you’re not the type to easily be changed.
You seem so sure of you’re self. So set in your ways.
And I’m probably not the guy who’ll steel your heart away.
You probably didn’t want it stolen anyway.

She’s just another lonely girl.
She’s just another lonely girl.
She cries her self to sleep at night 
Or she don’t come home till the morning after
She’s just another lonely girl
She’s just another lonely girl

I used to sit and watch her every single day.
I wondered what I’d do if she ever came my way.
And when she did it’s like I knew just what to do. 
She looked into my eyes. That’s when I knew.

She’s just another lonely girl.
She’s just another lonely girl  
She cries her self to sleep at night 
Or she don’t come home till the morning after
She’s just another lonely girl
She’s just another lonely girl

LEAD SOLO

CHORUS OUT

Lonely Girl

All Over Town
Lyrics by Perry Stephen Polito

You can blame me for the whole damn thing.
Could say my ego got in the way 
But the breakaway would have happened sooner or later.

Sitting all alone in your little room 
Fumbling through pictures of a faded world. 
Wondering how you’re going to fair in the long run

You’re still trying to run and hide 
From the bridges you burned behind you and it’s
All over town, it’s all over town, it’s all over town, it’s all over

It’s all over town you’ve been playing around 
You got some band to do it
They like what you’re doing, cause you like what you’re doing
No one ever knocked you for that.
But how did you get so damn sure of your self 
And where did You buy all your clothes 
People want to know these things about you.
So they know where not to go.

You’re still trying to run and hide
From the bridges you’ve burned behind you and it’s
All over town, It’s all over town, It’s all over town, it’s all over.

LEAD SOLO

CHORUS   

I picked up the daily new and saw your picture in it 
The things that really amused me where the words that went with it.
They said that you were digging a hole and burying yourself in it.
You should be digging hole to bury all of your self pity.

You’re still trying to run and hide
From the bridges you’ve burned behind you and it’s
All over town, It’s all over town, It’s all over town, it’s all over.

All Over Town

The Music
Lyrics by Perry Stephen Polito

It’s so good to see your faces
All in their places
You came here to see us
Blow you away
with the music
Living fantasies up on the stage
Don’t let the long hair
Blow you away
It’s the music
Living ecstasy up in your brain
Don’t let the drugs
blow you away
It’s the music
Meanwhile back at the scene
The band was playing
Everybody was singing along
To the music
LEAD SOLO……..
so good to see your faces
Back in their places
You came here to see us
Take you away
with the music
Real live fascination up on the stage
Don’t let the bright lights
blow you away
It’s the music
Meanwhile back at the scene
The band was playing
Everybody was singing along
To the music

It's the Music

ONE CHANCE
(LYRICS)

I GOTTA TELL YOU EVERYDAY LIFE 		
CAN SOMETIMES GET TO YOU
EVEYDAY LIFE CAN BE BORING
IF THERE’S NOTHING FOR YOU TO DO
BUT YOU LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE
AIN’T NO ONE GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU
SO GET OFF YOUR ASS AND STOP ACT’N
LIKE SOME KIND OF FOOL

I WAS RELUCTANT TO UNDERSTAND
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP
I NEVER WANTED TO LISTEN
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP 
NOW I’M WISHIN I COULD DO IT AGAIN
SEEMS SO SAD IT’S ALL GONE BY
YOU GOTTA KEEP ON KEEP’N ON
AND NEVER STOP ASK’N UM WHY

CHORUS:
YOU GET ONE CHANCE
TO TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
ONE CHANCE TO MAKE THEM BELIEVE IT
ONE CHANCE DON’T WAIT TILL TOMORROW
ONE CHANCE TO BEG STEAL OR BORROW

LOOKING IN THE MIRROR 
JUST THE OTHER DAY
I NOTICED THESE LINES ON MY FACE
AREN’T GONNA GO AWAY
SO I TURNED OVER A NEW LEAF
STARTED TAKE’N GOOD CARE OF MYSELF
BUT THE LINES KEPT COMING ANYWAY
KEEP YOUR YOUTH POTIONS ON THE SHELF

CHORUS: Repeat second verse CHORUS:

Is Anybody out There?

One Chance

New Classic Rock is sweeping the country...!!
