FLY HIGH 
OVER 
THE ALMIGHTY SEA

I CAN FIND MY WAY
IN THE SEA
I CAN RIDE A 1000 TIMES
IN THE SEA 
ON UPON 1000 TIDES

FLY HIGH 
OVER 
THE ALMIGHTY SEA

IN THE DARK
I CAN WALK AWAY
I’LL BE BACK
BACK BACK TO RIDE THE BREAK OF THE DAY
IN MY DREAMS
I FREE FALL DOWN
IN MY FEARS
MY FEARS THEY HOLD ME DOWN

FLY HIGH 
OVER
THE ALMIGHTY SEA YEAH…

THE OLDER I GET
THE MORE PAIN THAT  I FEEL
THE PAIN THAT I HAVE
IS THE PAIN THAT I LOVE

AND I HAVE NO FEARS

OF WHAT LIES UP AHEAD

THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT     by TAS / Pete Sanderson

IN THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT THE BREAK BEFORE THE DAY
IT’S DARK OUTSIDE AND YOU’RE ALL ALONE (BUT NOT ALONE)
THEY’RE CALLING YOU CALLING YOU DEEPER (DEEPER) OUTSIDE (OUTSIDE)
YOU TURN TO GO ON YOUR WAY FALLING (FALLING) FREE FALLING (FALLING)

YOU’RE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR THE WALL
LOOSE YOURSELF INSIDE THE WALL
FIND YOUR WAY INSIDE THE WALL
SEE YOURSELF INSIDE THE WALL

NO ONE TO SAVOR THIS MOMENT (WHEN YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN)
NO ONE TO FEEL THIS WAY (WHEN YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN)
NO ONE TO SHARE ANYTHING AT ALL (WHEN YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN)
NO ONE TO HEAR YOU SCREAM OUT LOUD (WHEN YOUR ON YOUR OWN)

YOU’RE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR THE WALL
LOOSE YOURSELF INSIDE THE WALL
FIND YOUR WAY INSIDE THE WALL
SEE YOURSELF INSIDE THE WALL

(YOU’RE NOT ALONE)
IT’S GETTING BIGGER IT’S GETTING BETTER IT’S GETTING STRONGER
(NEVER ALONE)
THE TIDE IS RIGHT THE WIND IS RIGHT THE SWELL IS RIGHT
(YOU’RE NOT ALONE)
THE SEA IS CALLING DEEPER OUTSIDE CALLING CALLING
(NEVER ALONE)
IT COULD’NT GET ANY BETTER I WISH IT WOULD LAST FOREVER

IN THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
YOUR FRIENDS THAT GO AHEAD OF YOU ARE RIDING BESIDE YOU
YOU’RE WAITING FOR YOUR RIDE TO COME TO CALL TO CARRY
YOU HOME

YOU’RE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR THE WALL
LOOSE YOURSELF INSIDE THE WALL
FIND YOUR WAY INSIDE THE WALL
SEE YOURSELF INSIDE THE WALL

IN THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT SEE YOUR OLD FRIENDS
YOU’RE ALL ALONE BUT NOT ALONE THOSE ARE JUST FRIENDS AROUND YOU

Every Drop I Take   by TAS 

J D livin’ it up

There was a time
That I rode every day
Surrounded by my friends 
That I could not see
Drawing my lines 
Looking for you

In every drop I take
Oh no
Every Drop I Take
Oh no

One day I laugh (ha ha) 
And the next day I cry (aww)
I look to the stars
And sometimes they shine (woo) 
Thinking of you
But it’s not the same
Oh no
Oh no

Freak stylin…

See the Vue from the Inn to the Point
Flying down Ocean Road Betty Road

To ma-much of a good thing yeah 
Bubba-burning at both ends wo oh oh

Surf and skate all day 
All day and night

Rockin’ reggae party yeah 
Gonna make you feel alright

Wow oh wow oh wow oh
Yeah big reggae style 
Jag Rastafari

Now that you’re gone 
And I’m all alone
Me and my friends
We can still find the time
To search through your clouds
And look for your signs
We know we can’t find 
Cause we’re not the same
Oh no    
We’re not the same 
Oh no     

Oh no     
Oh no

Oh no 
Oh no

Every Drop I Take - For all who knew and loved Donny and John

This song is about about the offshore commercial fishing vessel Seabring that sank east of Cape Cod Massachusetts and the search for the 3 crew members that were on board. At the time I was a crew member on the F/V Rose Marie. We were at the end of our fishing trip and heading back in to Boston to unload when we heard the Coast Guard call out to any and all vessels in the area to work as a team to locate the men. We were in a huge grid search with other vessels and the Coast Guard. Through thick fog cover I stood on the bow of the F/V Rose Marie with my eyes glued to what parts of the ocean I could see praying to god to see a human life in the water with an outstretched hand reaching to me…for rescue…for hope…for life. We searched for hours and hours and only saw a little bit of the debris field from the sunken boat. The bodies were never recovered. This event was one of the reasons I started to make my way out of the industry…the industry that gave so much to me.

Dead in the Water   TAS  

The sea takes my life
Gods final call
A whisper in the wind 
I scream at this storm

A sound I don’t know
In a voice no one hears

I try to hide
The fears that I make
In my small mind 
I can’t escape

The waves pull me down
The ocean is my grave

I see my fears
Floating away

There is no time 
For tears to fall
I see the light 
fading away

I’m on my own
Searching for my soul

That cannot be found
The body is still
The fish take a bite
the night and wind rise

Ted prays to God
Now his fears are mine

And I see my fears
Floated away

ENDURE/UNDER THE SPELL OF THE SEA
IT POOLS/PULLS YOU IN IT PULLS/POOLS YOU DOWN

INTO THE DARK INTO THE DEEP
FEEL THE COLD FEAR THE CRUSH

UPON YOUR SKIN IT BREAKS YOUR BONES
IT CLOSES IN IT CLOSES DOWN

YOUR MIND SETS FREE YOUR HEART BEATS LAST
YOUR SOUL HAS LEFT YOUR COLD STILL BODY

Dead in the Water / Fears     I really want to make a video for this sing

The End (of the world as we know it)

I wrote this song in 1995. "Wacko" is written about american domestic terrorist Timothy James McVeigh ("the Oklahoma City bomber") who killed 168 people and injured over 680 others.  I will never forget watching the news coverage of this and the search and rescue efforts of the first responders. At one point they had to amputate a young girls leg to get here free from wreckage as they feared the remains of the building would continue to collapse. In the recording studio there were a lot of people doing back up vocal work on this one (lots of screaming and painful cries for help). Thank you Mike V. Greg O. and Karen S. just to kind of name a few. Long live Groundswell Recording Studio.

WACKO  by TAS  (Timothy McVeigh Oklahoma City bombing 9:02 am 4/19/1995)

I’d like to introduce you to
my new friend here
but I can’t recall his name

there is no pain when I sleep
put me down when I scream
put me away when I’m all done

tell me now
Is it your spirit or is it your soul
or is it just my memory of you
that haunts you haunt me now 
every day and night

oh what goes through your sick mind
look at what you’ve done now
gonna cut you beat you burn you up wacko
now it is your time to die

an arm for an arm 
a leg for a leg
this is the price you pay

painnnnnnn

there’s not enough

for youuuuuu

wacko

here there voices in the night
calling out calling out

help me help me help me help me
help me help me help me help me
help me help me help me help me
help me help me help me help me

help meeeeeeeee

who the fuck are you the marlboro man
that’s funny I thought you were dead
but your smoke in my face pal is killing me 

that’s a nasty habit you’ve got there 
fucking ugly monkey crawling upon your back
surgeon general warning says 
can’t you even fucking read
smoking cigarettes causes
BRAIN DAMAGE!

"Wacko"

This is a lyrical rewrite of an Alex Nagle song. The body and structure of my version of the this song is very close to how Alex wrote his song. The way I remember Alex telling me about his song is that it was about a bike race and a rider hanging on for dear life as he was flying around the devils elbow(a sharp curve on the road). My lyrics tell the story of a surf contest on a giant day at Chopes Tahiti and "Kai" dropping in on bomb for the ride of his life and the pot of gold at the end of the tube. With Tom Champlain on lead guitar.

DEVILS ELBOW     TAS / Alex Nagle

THE AIR WENT SILENT AS KAI TOOK THE FALL
THE OUTSIDE SECTION STOOD 10 FEET TALL
OH ALL HE COULD SEE WAS THE TUBE UP AHEAD YEAH
VISIONS OF THE CHECKER WERE KICKIN’ IN HIS HEAD
CHECK IT OUT NOW 
YEAH

15O LONG YARDS OF FLESH STEALING REEF
RAZOR SHARP CORAL WAS CALLING UNDERNEATH
OH ON A POT OF GOLD WAS ALL THE GLORY HE’D KNOW 
AS LONG AS HE COULD MAKE IT OUT 
DEVILS ELBOW 
YEAH

(BRIDGE)

MANY MAN HAS BURNED UP ON THE ELBOW
WELL SOME SAY THIS WAVE WAS MADE DOWN BELOW
KAI PULLED IN YEAH PUT HIS BOARD TO THE TEST
BUT THE BOTTOM FELL AWAY TO THE POUNDING IN HIS CHEST
STEP IT UP NOW

THE BARREL SPIT HARD STUNG SALT IN HIS EYES
NO ONE KNOWS THE DEVIL UNTIL ITS TIME TO DIE
OH HEY MAN CAN YOU TELL ME
CAUSE I KNOW HE STOLE THE SHOW
BUT DID HE EVER MAKE IT OUT 
DEVILS ELBOW
YEAH

DEVIL TIME

The Devils Elbow - Alex Nagle is a rockstar

FOR THE SEA     TAS

SUNSETS I CAN’T SLEEP
SUNRISE UP ON/UPON MY WAY
GOT THE RIGHT BREAK 
AT THE RIGHT TIDE 
6 FOOT HIGH 
GROUND SWELL

SEIZE/SEAS MY BLOOD
POUNDS MY HEART
THROUGH THESE VEINS 
I LOVE THE RIDE

A BIG STORM 
MAKES FOR BIG WAVES
JUST A ‘NOTHER DAY THAT THE 
SEA DON’T CARE
GO OUT (OUTSIDE) 
GET BEAT DOWN
DIG IN TO TRY AGAIN 

PICKS ME UP 
THROWS ME DOWN
GREEN BLUE WHITE BLACK
NO OXYGEN

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (heavy part)

“OUTSIDE”
OUTSIDE ON THE POINT
CLEAN UP SETS
A COMIN’ THROUGH
GONNA FIND THE PEAK 
TAKE OFF LATE (GO)
STRAIGHT DOWN 
IT PULLS ME IN

OH MY GOD
NOW I KNOW 
HOW YOU BREATH/BREED 
THROUGH THE SEA

THANK YOU
YOU SHOWED ME
THE WAVES 
THAT ARE IN MY SOUL
SUNRISE
SUNSHINE
SUNSET
I’LL BE WASTED

I WAS BORN NAKED
I WAS BORN BLOODY
I WAS BORN HUNGRY
FOR THE SEA
