Three hardcore punk tracks. Recorded Summer 2023 in "Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada" (the colonial name for a city in Epekwitk, Mi'kma'ki).

These songs are about some of the problems that society is facing: environmental destruction, fascist scum, and the apparent failure of the existing social order. All three songs are based on demo tracks that were recorded in Spring 2022.

Collapse?

Barbara Pit

What's takin' you so long, honey?
Just make it quick, make it clean
'Cause if I only knew last night
After I held you tight

You'd take me
You'd shake me
And say settle down, baby!
Let's wait n' see

It's the same ol' thing
Wrapped around your finger like a ring
Always the same ol' song
(You got it, you got it)
So you make 'em move along - hey!

Maybe somethings wrong with me
Second rates all I'll ever be
I felt your touch months ago
But I never let go

You tell me
You wanna help me
Just to get back up
I don't wanna believe

It's the same ol' thing
Wrapped around your finger like a ring
Always the same ol' song
(You got it, you got it)
So you make 'em move along

Woah, you got it, you got it - yeah, yeah!
You got it, oh
You got it - got it, oh!

It's the same ol' thing
Wrapped around your finger like a ring
Woah, Lord!
Same ol' song
(You got it, you got it)
Said oh, you got it!

It's the same ol' thing - yeah, yeah
Well it's the same ol' song
So don't get me wrong
(You got it, you got it)
So you make 'em move along - hey!

You go n' tell 'em move on
Yeah, yeah - you tell 'em move on
It's the same ol' thing

Same Ol' Thing

Aha!
Give it up, give it up
Give it up for free, baby
That's the way you feel
Thought we lived in perfect harmony
But that's the way you feel

Yeah, you just hold my hand as I run
But I'm your lover just for fun
Aha!

Tell me why, tell me why
You won't let me breathe
Oh, there's no chance of there being
You n' me - no, no

I won't change my plans for anyone
'Cause I'm your lover just for fun
Aha! - I said oh, oh!
My, my!

Yeah, let me tell ya now
Oh, she loves me
More than anybody else
Sayin' I loved him
More than I loved myself
And I might be wrong
But now I'm right
Beside myself tonight

Enough about her
Enough about me
Won't you tell me What happened to MTV?
Got more important problems
Goin' on in my life
Than keepin' her satisfied
Aha! - oh, yeah, yeah
Aha! - yeah, yeah
Oh, oh

Ms. Friday Night

I've never thought
It could be like this
Our world's collide
But I've noticed that
Through all my fears
My love, my hate
Baby, you're the habit I just can't break

Now my heart bleeds for somebody else
Got so many reasons I can't help myself
Some say love is a lie
A broken heart in disguise
Uh huh - baby, yeah

But they be wrong
I know you're right
Oh, when I'm in the dark
You're my moonlight
So pale, so warm
Knockin' at my door
So I just smiled
Like I've never before
Said babe

My heart bleeds for somebody else
So many reasons I can't help myself
I love this life
The stars light the skies above
Ah, ah!

I said that
My heart bleeds for somebody else
(Somebody else)
So many reasons I can't help myself
Yeah, I love this life
Stars light the skies above - uh huh!

My heart bleeds for somebody else
(Somebody else)
So many reasons - can't help myself

So don't take my heart, my bleedin' heart
(Don't take my heart, my bleedin' heart)
Don't break my heart, my bleedin' heart
(Don't take my heart, my bleedin' heart)

The Bleeding Heart

Cryin'
Hope you don't cry no more - ou!

I got the stuff
Got what you need, maybe
Not all bad things
Come in threes, baby
Here today (here today)

I'll take the pain
I'll take the shot
Brave any weather
I'll give it all I've got
No I won't stop

No, 'cause you're cryin'
Hope you don't cry no more
Tryin' to make you feel like cryin'
Cryin'

Like Billy Squier
Keep your eye on top
I can't stand to give it up (give it up)
Oh, I can't give it up

Cryin'
Hope you don't cry no more
Tryin' to make you feel like cryin'
Cryin'

Time and time again
You're all lost and so alone
You get a feelin' that
You start believin' that
You need a miracle
A miracle

Cryin'
Hope you don't cry no more

Woah, you're cryin'
Oh, you're cryin'
Cryin' baby
Time and time again
Why you cryin'?
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love, why?

Cry No More

They say you need someone
To tell you now - show you how
Guess they forgot about me
I've never been the one to say it
Never been the one to play the game
That cuts so easily

They're always singin'
All these songs about love
And what it is
Singin' all these songs about that
Sweet, sweet love
That if I'm strong enough
Maybe someday I'll see
There's a sweet, sweet love for me

Love won't let you wonder
It'll hold you tight
Won't keep you guessin'
All through the night
Love will take you in as a friend
And it'll spit you out
Oh, as a better man

Always singin'
All these songs about love
And what it is
Singin' all these songs
About that sweet, sweet love
That if I'm strong enough
Maybe someday I'll see
There's a sweet, sweet love for me

So I won't just run and hide away

There's a sweet, sweet love for me
There's a sweet, sweet love for me - yeah!
A sweet, sweet love for me
A sweet, sweet love for me

Oh, no ones gonna take it from me
No, no ones gonna take it from me
No, I need a sweet love
I need a sweet love
I need a sweet, sweet, sweet love

They say you need someone
To tell you now - show you how
Guess they forgot about me

Songs About Love

Oh, I wake up on time
Fill my eye with the ghost of yesterday
Yeah, I'm late for work
Guess it's just my quirk
To wish you would have stayed

But I want to, baby
Make you understand
I said oh, mama
I'm done being that man

And I'll be okay without you
I'm all lovesick & broke
And there's nothing I can do
'Cause I'm not the only one
Yeah, it's time to face the truth
Baby, I'll be okay without you
Now, my love - oh

But I had a drink again
Even though I said
Hey, that don't bother me
In my total view
It isn't only you
Freedoms all I see

But I want to, I need to
Make you understand
I said woah, oh, mama
The bets never worth the hand (because)

I'll be okay without you (without you)
I'm still lovesick & broke
And there's nothing I can do
'Cause I'm not the only one
Yeah, that's nothing new
I'll be okay without you, my love
Guess it's time to take a stand
Go on, man!

Woah!

I'll be okay without you
My love, my love
I'll be okay without you, oh
I'll be okay without you
So goodbye my love
Goodbye my love
Goodbye!

Lovesick & Broke

All night you just leave me here
I'm in a state of constant fear & sorrow
But I know tomorrow
I'll be back, better than before
I got a new plan - won't stand there anymore
I said oh, but I guess that's how the story goes

Give it up
You better give it up
Give it up
Yeah, we got enough
Trepidation - no motivation
Give it up

My friends say it couldn't be worse
You stole my records
And my favorite KISS shirt, now
I'm alright - shits tights
Feelin' steady
All guns are hot
I'm at the ready

Give it up
You better give it up
Give it up
Yeah, we got enough
Trepidation - no motivation
Give it up

Oh!

Give it up
You better give it up
Give it up
Oh, we got enough
Trepidation, babe
No motivation to give it up
