"Such Great Heights"
lyrics © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd. 2003 

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images
And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God Himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
And when I am missing you to death
And when you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now, they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we'll stay
I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon the sending
And that frankly will not fly
You'll hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
And this is guiding you home
They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we'll stay
They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we'll stay
They will see us waving from such great heights
(Come down now)

To Be Your Girl

Wow, this is it, the final song I will be posting for the untitled album Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & the Wormling and I have been working on! We posted the first song, “Ghosting Out,” from this set on January 4, 2021. I started this set of 12 songs in 2020, during the pandemic, using demo tracks that Wou-Wou graciously allowed me to use. I can’t, yet totally can, believe that it took 5 years to finish and finally post all the songs. I am still not sure if all 12 songs will be included in the album since the total run time is about 43 minutes and I like albums to be a little closer to 30 minutes. We still also need to decide on the track sequence. Eventually the album will be posted the album on Bandcamp for free. 

I have written it many times before and I will write it again, it has been an immense pleasure and honor and blast to work with Sticknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou on this set of songs. I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity.

Lyrics:

I don’t wanna have to do this
But I would be terribly remiss
If I just pretended to shoot and miss 
Maybe I could find somebody nobody’ll reminisce 
Maybe I could find somebody deserving the abyss 
The kiss of deaths sweet lips 
The heat of cold bullets
Rationally tearing you from the grips 
Of life meaningless in this soulless culture gone amiss 
I’ve been hunting these woods since my childhood 
Living as any self respecting and god fearing man should
sovereign and secured in responsibility for one’s own livelihood  
The devil wants you to believe in falsehoods 
and city life leads to no good
The heathens all had me misunderstood 
I wouldn’t want to be with them if I could

It feels like its been me and the bird forever now 
And i can’t allow myself to let him down 
I have him in my sight 
But there is two of ‘em 
Damn it 
What am I going to do with ‘em 
I’m going to have shoot both of ‘em 
I can’t leave a witness
Gotta move with swiftness 
At least this 
male’s a total stud 
and bird will pleased 
As he falls with a thud as his chest spews out blood 
and soil turns to mud
This is the right thing to do, isn’t it
After all I made an agreement 
I can’t permit 
Bird to throw a fit
or It’ll be me my head 
that sits on that wall 
And I really wouldn’t want him to leave me 
and be alone again

I know you're down now
Under the net to catch the ball but there's no rebound
You feel alone now
Left behind without a friend they really let you down
When you get it right
They're gonna see how big and oh so bright
When you get it right I won't be the only one who knows that you're the best
You got the drive now
So make a move and let it out greatness is just inside your walls of doubt
Thorn in your side strong
Use it to fuel your inner steam build an unstoppable machine yeah
When you get it right
They're gonna see how big and oh so bright
When you get it right I won't be the only one who knows that you're the best
You're not alone now
You'll always have a friend in me whether alive or endless sleep the greatest forces can't be seen
When you get it right
They're gonna see how big and oh so bright
When you get it right I won't be the only one who knows that you're the best

you're the best

Well I asked you once just to dance with me
You shook your head and smiled
But you can buy me a strong coffee
And we can sit and talk for a while

So we sat and watched the dancers
Spinning round the floor
And we sat and talked until it was nearly dawn
As we headed for the door

I said oh honey can I drive you home
She shook her head and said no
So I said oh baby can I see you again
She said life's a chance who knows

But I never saw that girl again
Only in my dreams
And I go to the dance hall every night
But she was right so it seems

Instrumental

Spend my days just searching
Looking high and low
But no-one seems to know her
No-one seems to know

But I bide my time looking for a sign
Just hoping that I'm right
But she's disappeared just as I feared
Like thunder in the night

Thunder in the night

Thunder in the night

Fade

Thunder in the Night

Deep in the winter forest

Thinkin' Of You

New version of a song that I wrote in 2021 about how fast time goes by. 

TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
IT'S EVERY BOY'S DREAM
TO GET HIS DRIVERS LISCENSE
THE DAY HE TURNS SIXTEEN
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

FINISHING GRADE SCHOOL
IS A LONG TIME COMIN'
WE ALL NEED THOSE TOOLS
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

SOME ATTEND COLLEGE
SOME JOIN THE WORK FORCE
AT A VERY YOUNG AGE
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

(CHORUS)
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT
IT'LL ALWAYS WIN
NOBODY'S THAT FAST
NOBODY'S THAT FAST

CAN'T WAIT TO GET MARRIED
WHEN YOU MEET THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
LEAVING PARENTS WORRIED
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE KIDS
NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES
CAN'T WAIT FOR GRANDKIDS
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

TIME KEEPS SLIPPIN' AWAY
LIVING IN THE FAST LANE
TURNS YOUR HAIR GREY
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

(REPEAT CHORUS)

WE NEVER TAKE THE TIME
TO SMELL THE ROSES
STOP AND UNWIND
CAUSE, TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

2021 (C) Lyrics by Tony Harris (BMI)
