For C

She put on her rose tinted glasses and started searching for a love that won't burn 
The usual places and the usual faces had already left her spurned 
A precocious girl with gifts to give but sometimes they were hard to discern 
Though there were takers it was without favour those gifts she gave were never returned

She put herself out on a very thin limb not knowing what he would suppose
They danced a dance she mistook for romance and when she got close he suddenly froze
Was he blind or was he just shallow she ultimately would never know
From her very heart she gifted a part in the form of one red rose

We’ve all got our scars and some more than most, hers surely were hard to survive
How could it be that someone like he could ignore her while she had cried
That anonymous rose should have taken his heart, but in the real world roses all die
Is there a chance or a circumstance where maybe it is still alive

After 25 years she still has those glasses but the rose tint has faded in turn
A familiar place holds a familiar face is it him and what has he learned
The rose is alive and he offers it back, her heart part is finally returned
Like so many others including all lovers he is searching for a love that won’t burn

Love That Won't Burn (Zoom 24 Track Studio)

No idea what category this is supposed to fall under, but we loved making it and still sounds great to us. Give it a listen. (ROB MELNYCHUK)

Did You Forget Me (Fostex-4 Track)

Same as the first version, however, this one was done in the 16-Track digital studio. (ROB MELNYCHUK)

You're standing in the rain
All alone again
Won't you please come and share my umbrella
If you're feeling incension 
Give me your attention
I've got lots of stories to tell ya

And so, they left you here burning up with disdain
When you reached out for help all you got was pain
Now won't you come in out of the rain
I am Shelter

I've been walking for miles
Made a million smile
Where there was sadness, I've brought about laughter
When all seems lost
And your heart is the cost
Your remorse is the only disaster

And so...

You're wet and you shiver 
And feeling quite bitter
I've a shoulder for you to cry on
Don't be so scared
There is someone out there
Who needs you, yes you to rely on...

And so...

See it all was true
Now the suns pokin' through
Together we stopped the bleeding
Be fully aware
There is someone out there
Ya you know, you know you are needed

I am I am I am I am I am the shelter...

I Am Shelter (16 Track)

Can you tell who I was listening to when I did the music for this one? (U2) I don't think Bono, Adam, The Edge, or Larry M. Jr. are trying to track us down for a law suit...I wish they would...what a compliment THAT would be. ***smile*** (ROB MELNYCHUK)

Injured Innocence (Fostex-4 Track)

Put on your red suspenders and your alligator shoes
Gonna bop 'til you drop to some rockin' rhythm and blues
You'll be movin' so fast your feet won't touch the floor
Gasping for air 'til you just can't take it no more

Shake Shimmy Shuffle all night long

See the cute little girly sittin' there on her chair
Rocking to music like she just don't care
Scurry on over and ask that girl to dance
She may say no but you gotta take that chance

Shake Shimmy Shuffle all night long

You've boogied all night and you just don't wanna stop
The sun's come up it's almost 7 o'clock
The band went home nearly 4 or 5 hours ago
You had so much fun just you and her alone

The cute little girly has moved back to her chair
You've bopped so much your gasping for air
You scurry on over and ask that girl her name
She takes your hand and says let's do it again

Shake Shimmy Shuffle all night long

Shake, Shimmy, Shuffle (16 Track)

Oasis (Fostex-4 Track)

A little DIFFERENT. Experimental. Why not? "I would eat an Iguana, if I could only keep it down". We Love this tune. That's what counts, right? It's FUN to hum. (ROB MELNYCHUK)

Oasis (16 Track)

A favorite of ours. Done in a Thunder Bay Radio Station Studio. It actually is still being played (here and there) in Ontario and ??? Since we receive $7.99 royalty cheques every year from S.O.C.A.N., but NO, we’ve never cashed any of the cheques from 1987-present. (ROB MELNYCHUK)

It's hard to believe but sometimes I just can't open my eyes
What you did for me when I was down made me realize
That there was something deep inside of me
Screaming to be set free
Will you still be there for me 
When I open my eyes

On a path to nowhere was I bound when I first saw you
A winter's night I was going home with nothing to do
You said that you could set me free
You showed me who I needed to be
But will you still be there for me 
When I look for you

There's a whole new world out there you made
I can finally call my own
When I open my eyes baby please be here
I can't do it alone
I can't do it alone

I knew it was right when you'd talk to me on the telephone
We laughed and spoke of dreams we had that had turned to stone
I was higher than I'd ever been
For I finally was set free
But will you be there to catch me 
When I fall from the throne

Now I lie here thinking of you afraid to open my eyes
The room is silent but your voice echoes in the back of my mind
I know what's out there for me
But none of it can be
If your face I do not see 
When I open my eyes

There's a whole new world out there you made
I can finally call my own
When I open my eyes baby please be here
I can't do it alone

There's this something deep inside of me
Screaming out to you to set me free
I need you hear baby can't you see
When I open my eyes

When I Open My Eyes (16 Track)

Maui-Mann - A Perfect Way To Die [Cave]

Maui-Mann - Gem [Cave]

Maui-Mann - Gem

Welcome Everyone
It's nice of you to come to this meeting
A long time since the last time
And all the while the music's been beating
Hot spells begin to swell 
In the cracks where cold was once seeping

Bad times have come to pass
Good times are here to last
Bad times have come to pass
Ain't life a gas

Come alive It's party time
All of us are here together
Good cheer will soon appear
Don't you pay no mind to the weather
Gather 'round all the friends that you've found
Don't you know it's now or never

Bad times have come to pass
Good times are here to last
Bad times have come to pass
Ain't life a gas

Come on people let's get together
Good times like this won't last forever
Come on people join us in song
Good times like this won't last too long
Come on people let's get together
Good times like this won't last forever
Come on people join us in song
Good times like this won't last too long
Come on!

Bad times have come to pass
Good times are here to last
Bad times have come to pass
Ain't life a gas

Bad times have come to pass
Good times are here to last
Bad times have come to pass
Ain't life a gas

Maui-Mann - I'll Wind You Up [Cave - Edit 1]

Thanks to Jerry, George and Mark for making this song sound better than it's original sound!

If you're coming in boy, please wipe your shoes
Well I was just relaxing, to "dem kozmic blues"
Why not put your feet up, make yourself at home
Just don't sit in that chair, that chair's my throne

Slow down on the beer boy, we got lots of time
I'll hear your story through but first you listen to mine
I was just like you in my rascal days
I was once so high I thought I'd die so I changed my ways

People always talkin’ at me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People always gawkin’ at me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People always walkin’ on me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People never listenin’ to me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me Jammin’

This place saw action, back in ‘75
When I threw a party it buzzed like a hive
Should’ve seen me then boy, I was king of the hill
I was singing local not for money just for thrills

See all them records stacked against the wall
When people would see them I felt ‘bout 10 feet tall
Now I’m a few years older, I’m collecting dust
Music’s all pre-programmed, I don’t think I like it much

People always talkin’ at me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People always gawkin’ at me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People always walkin’ on me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People never listenin’ to me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me Jammin’

Like another beer boy? You look kinda dry
Did you know a beer a day, can keep a man alive?
Listen!

What’s the matter with you, you look kinda tired
Did those 3 beers you have, get you wired
Straighten up son, get your life on track
Look at me I’ve set my goals, and I haven’t looked back

Feelin’ sleepy, must be this air
I remember once, oh forget it, you don’t care
What times’ it gettin’? Guess you gotta go
Say “Hi” to your dad, we go back a long way you know!

People always talkin’ at me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People always gawkin’ at me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People always walkin’ on me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me
People never listenin’ to me – Jammin’ On Me  Jammin’ On Me Jammin’ On Me Jammin’

Come back some time, I’ll tell you chapter 2
Imagine that Jack, all day I’ve been Jammin’ you
Sorry, when you get to be my age your mouth kinda runs away on you
Come back some time though, really, I mean it!
Oh well, jammed again

Maui-Mann - Johnny Blade [Cave]

Maui-Mann - Sunday Sofa Superman

La la la la la la la...
Here I stand a man at your mercy
Lost in your love, please take me home
You are the light, my sole direction
Please don't leave me standing here alone

Without your love I have no ambition
Without your smile my life begins to stray
It's dark inside this tunnel I can't see you
Won't you be the star that lights my way

What's the point of going any further
When you're blind it's hard to find your way
Don't you tell me to wait until tomorrow
Tomorrow's not just another day
La la la la la la la...

In your eyes I see I have my answer
From deep inside I'm reaching out for you
Your heart is open and the light is shining
The message that it sends "I love you too"

What's the point of going any further
When you're blind it's hard to find your way
Don't you tell me to wait until tomorrow
Tomorrow's not just another day
La la la la la la la...

Maui-Mann - The Light

This is a phenom track that we absolutely have to redo. The sound quality sucks but I love both the lyrics and the music. Can't lose with this!

She sat alone
In a room with no walls
She was staring at the ceiling
Avoiding her calls

The whole room was spinning it was turning around
She couldn't get her bearings straight
When they opened up the door to stop her turning around
They understood that it was too late

He sat up high
Too afraid to look down -own -own
He was testing his balance
With no feet on the ground

Walking a fine line
With cuts on his feet
He began dreaming dreaming dreaming
Life would be a treat

The whole world was changing it was turning around
He was falling ever fast to his fate
When they tried to grab his hand to stop his turning around
They understood that it was too late

Here we all stand 
We're the "THEY" of this song
We're reaching out for you
But we won't wait very long

When your world is spinning just stop turning around
Come to us we'll help you set it straight
When your world is changing just stop turning around
Come to us before you find it's too late

When your world is spinning just stop turning around
Come to us we'll help you set it straight
When your world is changing just stop turning around
Come to us before you find it's too late

Turning Around
