So many people that put up with bad behavior, being scorned and ridiculed and still find a way to smile and make the rest of us feel better. This song is for all of you.

This is based on the same drum track as DystOpia. Stoney sent a drum track that eventually became two different tracks - one more grungy (DystOpia) and this one a little more organ heavy. I asked Eric to come up with something different for this tune and boy did he deliver the goods.

TOUGH AS NAILS

Tough as nails
You fall down
Tough as nails
You rise again
Tough as nails
Your body a scar
Your spirit, your soul, your mind
It’s too hard to find
The time, the peace, the will
You reach down deep
You take a leap
You’re tough as nails
You’re tough as nails

Through the thick and thin
Through the good times and bad times
It all fades away
Through the quips and shame
The looks and sighs
Fade away….

Tough as nails
You rise again
Tough as nails 
You fall down
Gentle soul
You lift us up
Kind heart 
Never let us down
The sorrow, the sadness and pain
Washed away….
Your touch and your smile
Your smile
You’re tough as nails

Through the thick and thin
Through the good times and bad times
It all fades away
Through the quips and shame
The looks and sighs
Fade away….

And they just can’t see
And they don’t understand
They don’t understand you at all

And they just can’t see
And they don’t understand
They don’t understand you at all

Fade away, fade away, fade away…..

WE WANT TO FLY 
(c) JunkHeap Jul 21 2022 / remixed Oct 2023

Thinking about the day 
and feedin' on the summer vibe, 
do you feel it?

Later that night I need some sleepin',
crawl into bed, soft sheets are cheering.
The pillow says hello,
and I fade below.

Someone waves to come along,
through a field, beside a pond.  
It's idyllic. 
Jump up high, and say goodbye
flying up and out of sight.

Hit the clouds.
In the clouds.
and there's the sun.
and the beautiful Earth.
For all it's worth,
in this day and age.
Turn the page
and you see the rage.

it's all sort of malign.
Politicians turn a blind eye.
They don't have the fortitude
to satisfy all our needs.

We want to fly.

Sitting on a beach near Naples;
Standing in Krasna Square;
Meet some people at the Pyramids of Giza;
then hit downtown NYC and see its flair.

Dreaming of a simple bliss, 
where I feel her lovely kiss.
But a dark flows in so slowly,
blots out the light, 
and I feel people want to get away.

We want to fly.

We Want To Fly

No Mercy

My ego run rampant! Starting my own cult of personality, living in abandoned empty big box stores with my family of followers. No takers so far...
Please play this Captain Beefheart inspired song LOUD!
From the EP "Smilers"
Lyrics:
Pulling off the highway
In some dusty, sunny suburban town
I'm going to start my own cult
I'm gonna call  it "TheTemple of the Stumpgrinder blues"
It will get you out of that catatonic state
Bloated bursting bellies
C'mon fill your plate
C'mon C'mon
I'm about as subtle as a car crash
You're all invited to my
All night
Day-glo
Ego bash
But, you're gonna have to bow down
Everybody in their life
Has to bow down
Stumpgrinder
Stumgrind

You know what you know
You do what you do
That's how you ended up here
Living in a burned out big box store
There's something missing out there
There's something missing in your life
(Something missing in your life?)
Your gonna bow down
Stumpgrinder
Stumpgrind

Living in a  burned out big box store
It's got everything you need
Fishing tackle and gear
Diamond encrusted wrinkle cream
Budweiser
Red beans and rice
Polyurethane sleeping bags
For 43% more warmth at night
Transistor radio
With a long antenna
Set to an oldie station
Bloated bursting bellies
Of fulfillment
All sales final!

Stumpgrinder

Make you feel my love  (cover - Bob Dylan)

FATE

Forseen the hand that travels through space
Tear blessings around,
Forwelcomed you in these lands of free breath of air
God shaped reality found,
Surrender your heart to our heavenly means
Deadliest poison bound,
Commute distribute vains of your truth,
Destiny's sight to your sound.

Tear is our concept,
Eternal life our will,
Creator the spirit,
And faith is the deal,

Character Personna,
Time is our thought,
Absurd is the laughter,
And life is our God.

FATE (Lyrics on Description)

Intimate Music - Like The Wind

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with a strong keyboard base.  Looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. The songs are mostly about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me.

To all of you likers and reposters that don't listen - what's the point?
