Talking for hours at a time
Not wanting to be alone
Minutes of silence filling the line
While we try to hang on to the phone

You say a problem’s come up
Pretending your confused
You ask if I would come up
I’ll be there soon

How many more miles to forget
Am I near the exit yet
I’m always driving somewhere
And always getting nowhere
No matter what the distance travelled

Talking for hours at a time
Not wanting to be alone
Minutes of silence filling the line
While we try to hang on to the phone

The weather’s getting cold here
Our words are getting few
It’s warmer there – that’s what I hear
I’ll be there soon

How many more miles to forget
Am I near the exit yet
I’m always driving somewhere
And always getting nowhere
No matter what the distance travelled

Into the River

Well I'm a real cool kind of man/I've been slithering around these wasted lands

Snake In The Grass

The wishful child
is father to the wistful man,
sire to the aging Smiths fan.
					
Shy brothers and sisters,
former future bachelors and spinsters,
leafing through dusty journals
to retrace your journey
from poet to attorney
across the past thirty winters.

Quick, sardonic siblings,
former future Bright Young Things
Retracing the ground
from reeling ’round Trevi Fountain
to working in accounting
and the complicated joys simple lives can bring.

The wishful child
is father to the wistful man.
The rough trade made by every Smiths fan.

The more I see, 
the more I see
our lives were marred.
We took too seriously
all those Smiths songs.
Yet we were not wrong.
We were not wrong.
Well, not completely wrong.

	(I wear slacks on the outside
	because slack is how I feel on the inside.
	And if I seem to never change,
	well, that’s because I can’t.)


Aging Smiths Fans

Seja como for
Autor, violão e voz: Adauto Fernandes

Mesmo se chover,
Prometo a você, vamos sair.
Sem ter hora prá voltar
Sem ver o tempo urgir.
Dois perdidos em uma noite e só.
Quero estar, onde estão os sonhos seus
Onde vive os segredos seus.
A vida passa tão depressa,
A vida se esconde entre as frestas,
E não há mal nenhum 
Em querer ser feliz

Deixe a alma voar,
Deixe o corpo dançar,
Enganando a dor
Deixe a alma dançar,
Deixe o corpo voar,
Seja como for...


Seja Como For

No One Gets Out Alive by Christine Anne Borra FT Michael Lusk 
PRESS RELEASE
A SONG FOR EASTER
For Immediate Release – April 10, 2017 
[Nashville, TN, USA] – When New Zealand songwriter Christine Ann Borra got the inspiration to write a new song she was moved to write a song based on the Easter holiday.  Borra’s thought-provoking song takes us from the day of the Crucifixion and the days that followed, to how those events impact our modern-day lives and way of thinking.
	The song titled “No One Gets Out Alive” was sent to Nashville publisher and producer, Dick McVey who made a few minor changes and he presented it to Michael Lusk a well-known Nashville musician / singer, who added his touch to the song.  The collaboration of Borra, McVey and Lusk has resulted in a powerful and moving song sure to make you listen and think.
	Here is a link to the song https://soundcloud.com/christine-anne-borra/no-one-gets-out-alive-by-christine-anne-borra-ft-mike-lusk.  If you would like a free MP3 copy emailed to you please let us know.
	Christine Anne Borra’s love of country and Gospel music led her to learning to play guitar at age 15, and that stimulated her to begin writing her own songs.  She sought help with her craft utilizing the skills of local songwriting coach Charlotte Yates and international songwriting tutor Pat Pattison from Berklee.  She also joined the Nashville Songwriters Association (NSAI) and embarked on a musical adventure traveling from New Orleans to Chicago soaking up the different styles of America music. According to Borra, “No One Gets Out Alive” was inspired by the strong imagery of Easter and Christine's personal experience with wanting to seize each moment of life.  She hopes it inspires others to live life as Christ did – without fear of going to other side.
	Dick McVey is an award-winning Nashville producer whose credits include working with a number of major artists.  A 35 year veteran of Nashville’s music business scene, he wears many hats including that of being a BMI publisher, producer, engineer, musician and publicist.

I watched them raise His cross 
On Golgotha's stony ground
As their fingers bleed they tormented Him
While they twisted a thorny crown
I watched the cold spear slip in to His side
And I heard a voice whispering
No one gets out alive
I'll see you 
On the other side

They took Him down and carried Him
To a rich man’s hallowed grave
As the thunder roared the curtain ripped
The sun hung its head in shame
I watched His mother wash him
While John wept by her side
And the same voice was whispering
No one gets out alive alive alive alive 
I'll see you oooooo on the other side 
No one, no one gets out alive

We spend all our time making money
But our money can't buy us time
Each breathe takes us closer to dying
Don't look so surprised 
Don't say you didn't know
Because history don't lie
When you hear that voice whispering
No one gets out alive alive alive alive alive
I'll see you oooo on the other side
No one, no one gets out alive alive alive alive alive
I'll see you oooo on the other side
No one, no one gets out alive alive alive alive alive
I’ll see you oooo on the other side 
I’ll see you oooo on the other side 
No one, no one gets out alive

Easter Song - No One Gets Out Alive by Christine Anne Borra FT Michael Lusk

Just Two

Verse 1
The dawn I was hoping
Would never come, has just broken

Were the words that were spoken
By me and you
Still true?

And as the cool light of day
Is filling the room
Will we be one or just two
Which one is true?

Chorus
One night of love
One night of bliss
Are we pretending
Our lives like this?

One night of promises
Maybe they’re true
Are we the loving ones
Or will we find
That we’re just two

Verse 2
A smile as you’re waking
And all the moves that you’re making

Mumbled worlds as you take in
The view of me
And you

And your eyes seem to say
That it’s too soon
Will we be one or just two
Which one is true?

Chorus
One night of love
One night of bliss
Are we pretending
Our lives like this?

One night of promises
Maybe they’re true
Are we the loving ones
Or will we find
That we’re just two
Just, just two


Just Two 2
