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.

Its the Music

Complexities of Life

Sleepless Nights
Lyrics by Perry Stephen Polito

Two AM here we go again. Another sleepless night. 
Don’t know what’s worse the pain or the fright.
The whole place really starts to scream when he gets the belt out.
No place to run even if you could get out. 

Come with me I’ll show you what I mean.
Come with me I’ll show you where I’ve been.

3:00 am here I go again another sleepless night. 
How many times before you put up a fight?
One of these days I will make you crawl.
Cause soon I’ll be all grown up and make you pay for it all.

Come with me. I’ll show you what I mean.
Come with me I’ll show you where I’ve been.

SOLO

12:00 am here I go again. Another broken heart.
That time mom hit the floor just a little too hard.
Remember when I said old man? I’m going to make you crawl.
One shot between the eyes and you pay for it all

Come with me I’ll show you what I mean.
Come with me I’ll show you where I’ve been.

Sleeples Nights

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

ELEANOR RIGBY
(Lyrics)

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people!)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people!)
Where do they all belong?

Is Anybody out There?

Eleanor Rigby

Get In The Car
(Lyrics)

I was driving out of town
Then I had to turn around
I realized I’d left something behind
I’m not sure what to do
But I’m not through with you
So get in the car
We’re going for a ride

I’m not sure just where we’re goin
I know I can’t leave you behind 
I know a good thing when it’s goin Baby
Come on girl we’re takin this to the end

I was driving in my car
Hadn’t driven very far
When I realized I’d  made a big mistake
I’m not sure what I’m doin
But I’m not through with you yet
So get in the car
We’re going for a ride

I’m not sure just where we’re goin
I know I can’t leave you behind
I know a good thing when it’s goin Baby
Come on girl we’re taking this to the end

LET’S GO!

We were cruzin out of town
Then we had to turn around
We realized we’d left the kids behind
I’m not sure what I’m do in
But I’m not through with you yet
So get in the car we’re go in for a ride

I’m not sure just where we’re goin
I know I can’t leave you behind
I know a good thing when it’s goin Baby
Come on girl we’re taking this to the end

We’ll keep movin down the highway baby
Try to keep the car between the lines
We’ll leave the past in the rearview mirror
Let’s not worry bout the kids they’ll be fine

Get in the Car

OVERKILL 	
(THE BALLAD OF SID AND NANCY)
                       LYRICS

I’D HAVE TO ADMIT IT WAS OVERKILL
THE WAY YOU SUGGESTED 
THAT I GET MY FILL
WAS A LITTLE BIT FORWARD
WOULD YOUR MOTHER APPROVE?
YOUR KEPT IN THE DARK 
ABOUT MOST EVERYTHING
WHEN IT COMES TO NAÏVE
YOU’RE THE KING
YOUR MISSING IN ACTION
YOU’RE A COMING ATTRACTION

CHORUS:
RIPPING AND ROARING
YOUR WHOLE LIFE AWAY
HOPING FOR SOMEONE 
TO COME ALONG AND TAKE THE PAIN AWAY

YOUR FLAGRANT ABUSE
OF WORDS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
LIKE LOVE, AND HATE, AND ACCIDENT
YOU DON’T EVEN MEAN 
THE LAST WORDS YOU SAID
I THINK YOUR WANTED
BY THE F.B.I.
THE TENTH MOST WANTED OF ALL TIME
I GET A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
IF YOU START TO GET NERVOUS

CHORUS:
TOSSING AND TURNING
YOUR LAST NIGHT AWAY
HOPING FOR SOMEONE TO COME ALONG
AND TAKE THE PAIN AWAY

YOUR SENSE OF HONOR
KEEPS YOU IN TUNE
AND FATE FULL CONVICTION 
SEE’S YOU THROUGH 
ALL YOUR OBLIGATIONS
CAN ALWAYS WAIT
ELABORATE SYSTEMS 
PROTECT YOUR HEART
FROM THINGS THAT CAN HURT YOU
LIKE BURSTS OF EMOTION
YOU FLURT WITH EMOTION

CHORUS:
ROCKING AND ROLLING 
YOUR WHOLE LIFE AWAY
HOPING FOR SOMEONE TO COME ALONG
AND TAKE THE PIN AWAY
TOSSING AND TURNING 
YOUR LAST NIGHT AWAY
HOPING FOR SOMEONE
TO COME ALONG 
AND TAKE THE PAIN AWAY
TAKE THE PAIN AWAY….AWAY…AWAY..AWAY
AWAY………..

Overkill (The Ballad of Sid & Nancy)

LYRICS
L. I. A. R.   (LOVE IS A ROAD)

NOT SURE YOUR HEAR’N
JUST WHAT I’M SAY’N
SO I’LL REPEAT MYSELF
TO MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR
WE HAVE’NT COME THIS FAR 
JUST TO LET IT SLIP AWAY
I’M HERE TO REASSURE
OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY
I’M NOT GOIN AWAY

LOVE IS A ROAD 
THAT TAKES MANY TWISTS AND TURNS
LOVE IS A HIGHWAY
THAT YOU NEVER LEAVE BEHIND

NOT SURE JUST WHAT IT IS
THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO DOUBT ME
I JUST DON’T THINK YOU GET 
THE WORDS I’M TRYIN TO SAY
NOT SURE WHAT MAKES YOU THINK 
THAT I AM SUCH A LIAR
THAT SKEPTICAL LOOK ON YOUR FACE
YOUR EYES COULD START A FIRE
I AM NOT A LIAR

LOVE IS A LONG ROAD
WITH MANY HILLS TO CLIMB
LOVE IS A HIGHWAY
THAT YOU NEVER LEAVE BEHIND

GUITAR SOLO

NOT SURE YOU REALIZE
JUST HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
TAKE A LOOK INTO MY EYES
SO YOU CAN SEE THE TRUTH
STOP TWISTING ALL MY WORDS
AND LISTEN TO WHAT I’M SAYIN
THERE IS NO HIDDEN MEANING
STOP YOUR DAMN COMPLANING
ITS NOT A GAME I’M PLAYING

LOVE IS A ROAD 
THAT TAKES MANY TWIST AND TURNS
LOVE IS A HIGHWAY
THAT YOU NEVER LEAVE BEHIND
LEAVE BEHIND

Is Anybody Out There?

Love Is a Road

L. I. A. R. (Love Is a Road)

I’M GONE
(LYRICS)

I’M GUILTY OF THINKING BOUT YOU
ALL THE TIME 
LOCK THE DOOR
THROW AWAY THE KEYS
I CAN’T GET YOU OFF MY MIND
I’M FEELING HELPLESS
HELPLESSLY IN LOVE WITH YOU
I COULD WATCH YOU ALL DAY LONG
I JUST LOVE THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME

CHORUS:
I’M GONE SO FAR GONE
I’M NEVER COMING BACK
I’M ON A ONE-WAY TRIP 
STRAIGHT TO YOUR HEART
A FATAL LOVE ATTACK
I THINK I’M DYING HERE
HOLDING YOU IN MY ARMS
I NEVER WANT TO LET YOU GO
SO PLEASE DON’T EVER LET ME GO

HELP ME I NEED SOMETHING TO 
CALM ME DOWN
FEELS JUST LIKE MY HEARTS EXPLODING 
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND
I’M FEELING HOPELESS
HOPELESSLY IN LOVE WITH YOU
IT NEVER REALLY OCCURRED TO ME
THAT I’D BE THE ONE FOR YOU

CHORUS: 

GUITAR SOLO:

BRIDGE:
IF YOU EVER LEAVE ME DARLIN
MY HEART WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME
SO PLEASE DON’T HURT ME DARLIN
CAUSE I MIGHT GO INSANE 
AND YOU WOULD BE TO BLAME

CHORUS: (twice)

I'm Gone

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