It’s 5 o’clock somewhere
I get up from my desk
A matter needs attending
Is what I tell myself again

I want to forget
I try to forget
But nothing ever goes away
Except my money and the light of day

Now it’s another Tuesday night
Or is it Wednesday, alright
Ain’t no way I’m this far behind
They’ll take my car, my house, my mind

I try to forget
I want to forget
But nothing ever goes away
Except my money and the light of day
Sometimes I feel like its going my way
Top of the world, it’s a sunny day
Then it’s gone

I know when you’re there for me
I know when your gone
I like that you understand
I’m trying to be your man

Sometimes, I try to forget
Cause it’s best to forget
But nothing ever goes away
Except my money and the light of day
Sometimes I feel like its going my way
Top of the world, it’s a sunny day
Then it’s gone

Nothing Ever Goes Away

There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the seven bridges road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the seven bridges road
There are stars in the southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of thyme sweetened honey
Down the seven bridges road

Lyrics by: Stephen T. Young

Seven Bridges Road (Demo)

This town has changed 
I asked around and nobody knows why
This town has changed 
Familiar faces but older, all the spaces they’re colder
This town has changed 
Something in the air just aint right, 
hasn’t been the same since that cold, cold night

We used to grab a pack of smokes and some offsales from the local bar
And go driving fast down gravel roads in your car
Now we sit in the yard with a beer, I wonder where the years all went
Laughing bout our goofy times and how our luck was spent

This town has changed 
Old trees don’t lie about which way the wind blows
This town has changed 
Nothing changes if you don’t ever leave
Everybody here thinks everything is the same
This town has changed 
40 years have passed since I’ve been gone
This town was much much bigger when I was small

We used to grab a pack of smokes and some offsales from the local bar
And go driving fast down gravel roads in your car
Now we sit in the yard with a beer, I wonder where the years have went
Laughing bout our goofy times and how our luck was spent

This town has changed 
Folks around here kinda look at me strange
This town has changed 
Familiar faces but older, all those faces they’re colder
This town has changed
Now I wonder if it just isn’t me seems like 
Everybody else is as good as can be

We used to grab a pack of smokes and some offsales from the local bar
And go driving fast down gravel roads in your car
Now we sit in the yard with a beer, wonder where the years all went
Laughing bout our goofy times and how our luck was spent

This town has changed

This Town Has Changed (demo)

What it's Doing to You

The stars won't come out
If they know that you're about
'Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I
Just an ordinary guy
Trying hard to win me first prize

Oh, Claudita
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh, Claudita
Just take my hand, and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreams

The future is bright
The gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there was you and I
In a house, baby, no lie
And all these things were yours and they were mine

Oh, Claudita
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh, Claudita
Just take my hand, and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreams

And, oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy
You know I'm trying hard to win me first prize

Oh, Claudita
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean (come with me)
Oh, Claudita (come with me)
Just take my hand, and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreams

Claudita (demo)

Our barfly friend, good old Peter
He don’t know, ain’t heard a ping either
A whole different world down Highway 2
Jubilee coronation is waiting for you

Happy hour and the whisky don’t care
No one at home, I’m never there
I choose chasers over chasing you
Next door from nowhere

We saw Elvis in a pickup truck
Was a drive in movie but, so what
Your new man drives a stolen Lexus
Custom boosted, dude paid no taxes

Happy hour and the whisky don’t care
No one at home, I’m never there
I choose chasers over chasing you
Next door from nowhere

You cut me once, put my balls in a vise
I’m the last Dear John to give advice
Just got one last thing to say to you
Hope this mixed message gets on through

I hate you, bon voyage
Still, I wish you all the best nothing but success
Can’t pretend to know myself if you never knew me at all

Happy hour and the whisky don’t care
No one at home, I’m never there
I choose chasers over chasing you
Chasing you is something that I’ll never do
I choose chasers over chasing you

Lyrics by Geoff Moore

Chaser (demo)

You know I tune the whole world out when I tune in
Music’s got a hold on me, and I don’t mind giving in

Another song and another song
And I’ve heard it all
From The Box to Daniel Lanois and The Band
Barenaked ladies, Painted Ladies, Pretty lady, yeah I’ve heard all the Canadian ladies
Alanis, Jann, Miss Murray, Bif, KD and Darby - there’s a whole lot more
Another song and another song 
And I’ve heard it all

From the very first listen, laying on my bedroom floor
Liner notes in hand I study your photos and more 
You know I tune the whole world out when I tune in
Musics got a hold on me, and I don’t mind giving in

Another song and another song
And I’ve heard it all
From The Box to Daniel Lanois and The Band
Four Strong Winds push Patio Lanterns, Wrecks Edmund every time he Switched to Whisky
Leonard, Bruce and Doug don’t forget about Pye and all of the Ians and Gords 
Another song and another song 
And I’ve heard it all 

Aldo Nova's on the Three O'Clock Train in a Rush to YYZ 
to find some Teenage Headpin on Echo Beach somewhere 
between Chilliwack and Bobcageon. Some say Billy's got Talent 
and I pray to Goddo he can Triumph won't be DOA 
Cause he's still got Something to Live for

You know I tune the whole world out when I tune in
Musics got a hold on me, and I don’t mind giving in

Another song and another song
And I’ve heard it all
From The Box to Daniel Lanois and The Band
For Five Days in May, Guess Who’s Turning it Loose and seeing Colin in a Prairie Town
And if you got Cash Brother be a Cowboy Junkie or Political
Another song and another song
And I’ve heard it all 
I’ve heard it all

I've Heard It All (demo)

Things'll never be the same
The words you said will forever remain
I’ve got a scar that I try to hide
You cut me deep, deep inside 

Things will never be the same
The words you said will forever remain
I’ve got a scar that will always show
You never once let on that you know

You live your life, I’ll live mine
Chalk up the loss 'n I’ll bide my time
Who’s got time to live in the past
When half your life’s gone by so fast

Things will never be the same
Thank god for that, who wants the same?
I’m moving on, not as hard as it seems
Ain’t looking back, I’m living my dreams

Never be the Same (demo)

This was my favourite suit when I toasted the town
Me in black and you, you in your gown
Important occasions and fancy affairs
We were living the life with out any cares

It’s now my mourning suit for when someone has past
And just like life itself, it was not made to last
Everything's wearing thin, it's too much to bear
Mixed feelings whenever I see it draped over my bedroom chair

Old friends
Old memories 
Getting old is still so new for me
Until the next big party could be some extravagant show
Or putting my friends into the ground
Back in the closet the old suit goes

Old friends
Old memories 
Getting old is still so new to me
Until the next big party could be some extravagant show
Or putting my friends into the ground
Back in the closet the old suit goes

Old Black Suit (demo)

Sometimes I find myself lost and I wander
I wander to you
And I know that your busy and you don’t
have the time to listen to the song I’ve sung
That’s ok.
I don’t mind. 
Try again some other time

Yesterday you said you do good and I wonder
I wonder do you
And I know that your trying but your not
making room for all the things you wanna do,
That’s ok.
I don’t mind. 
Try again some other time

So much to do and there’s so little time
So much to do so little time

Life gets in the way is what you said and I smiled
I smiled at you
Don’t you know that life’s about the journey and
we’re going out with our heads down til the end
That’s ok
I don’t mind
We’ll catch up in another life

So much to do and there’s so little time
So much to do so little time

But, I don’t mind
But, I don’t mind
But, I don’t mind

I Don't Mind - Acoustic (demo)

The Muster Point Project started in November 2020. Based in YYC, SCL and places in between, TMPP uses this platform as a sandbox, posting songs in progress from early stage right through to ones ready for mastering. If you're lucky, you'll hear some awful... ahem, er, ah.... early, yeah, an early version of a song you will eventually come to like and maybe this will endear you to the process and our music so you become a super fan and buy a tshirt. 

TMPP makes the music influenced by many of the different artists they love, including John Hiatt, Graham Parker, Wilco, Pixies, Red Rider, War on Drugs, Kinematic, Boy & Bear, Iron Maiden, Tragically Hip, Waterboys, Cheap Trick, Ramones, Sloan, & others and while TMPP music may not fit one specific genre, that's ok.
