The Latest Craze

Latest Craze

Solid Gold

Words and music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

One thing I know
No one likes to be alone
One thing I've learned
No one likes to feel burned
Of all I've observed
Actions speak louder than words
For all the love I've known
You're my Solid Gold
In my heart I hold
My Solid Gold

So rare is you
Solid Gold
Through and through
So kind and true
Solid Gold
Through and through
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold

You're mine to have and hold
You're my love my Solid Gold
You're the one I want when I grow old
Your  loving soul

So rare is you
Solid Gold 
Through and through
So kind and true
Solid Gold 
Through and through

You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold

Solid Gold

Eugene Daze

Words and Music by Troy Krusenstjerna

Every day I live is the same day 
As the day I lived before
Same old people 
Sometimes different faces
Walking out the same front door

My friends ask me why do I stay
I took a long break 
I moved far far away
I'd always come back and I'd say
"I miss my Eugene days
and those Eugene ways"
My Eugene Daze
I'm in a Eugene Daze everyday

I get lost in the haze
I'm in a Eugene Daze
Thoughts lost in the maze
Memories of the same old place

In my Eugene Daze
Every day Every day Every day I say

I guess it was fun growing up here
And it's just as much fun
Being stuck here
Living the best day the rest day of your life

Lovers Road

Words and music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

Thanks for the pillow
I was deprived of sleep
You take the car keys
I'll take the back seat
I need a tune up
Recharge my battery
Been on this road so long
I love your company

On the lovers road
We travel too fast
Best to take it slow
Or you're liable to crash

Do you need your car washed?
You're looking rather dusty
Tangled up in a fender bender
Did I run into you?
Or did you run into me?

On the lovers road
We travel too fast
Best to take it slow
Or you're liable to crash

(repeat)

Cause the world moves so fast
You want love to last
But the world moves so fast

On the lovers road
We travel too fast
Best to take it slow
Or you're liable to crash
And run out of gas
When you want love to last

Lovers Road

Orange Moon

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

When there's an Orange Moon
It's when I think of you
The love that left too soon
Turned a pale blue

Always running away
From love
Like you
It's never enough
To say
 "I do"

Orange Moon
You changed your hue
Turned a pale blue

Like the night 
When I met you
Lit my life
How could I forget you
Love is sweet
Until its left you
Like an Orange Moon

Orange Moon
You left too soon
Turned a pale blue

Always running away
from love
like you
It's never enough 
To say
 'I do"

Orange Moon
You changed your tune
Turned a pale blue
How could I trust you
You're an Orange Moon
Orange Moon

Always running away
From love
Why do you?
It's never enough
To say 
"I do"

Orange Moon

Orange Moon

Seattle

Words and music by Troy Krusenstjerna

I love Seattle in the summer
The winters are a bummer
Spring is like a dream
Fall is somewhere in between
I've lived in Oakland, California
Eugene, Portland, and Tacoma
Five months in the south of France
I never gave the french a chance

Seattle
it rains so
It'll make you cry
Seattle
As friends go
You're alright

People come and go as they please here
It makes relationships so much easier
Seattle's heart is in the freezer
You got to do more than just tease her
Start by drinking micro pounders
Root for the Seahawks  and the Sounders
Don't forget the Mariners
Don't complain about the weather
It'll never change or get much better

Seattle
Did you know?
You make me cry
Seattle 
As friends go
You're alright
Seattle

Plastic Troll

Words and Music by Troy Krusenstjerna

Sometimes life's a hassle
Sometimes life's a joke
I don't know
Sometimes an uphill battle
Sometimes life's a slope
I don't know

Plastic Trolls
taking over
The world we know
I've been updated and replaced
By a Plastic Troll

I've been updated and replaced by a plastic troll
I don't know
My hardware is still working but my memory is slow
I don't know

Plastic Trolls
 taking over
The world we know
Plastic Trolls 
You see them 
Everywhere you go
Plastic Trolls
Welcome to the black hole
Sit back
Relax 
Enjoy the show

We keep updating, and replacing
It's all about control 
don't you know
The trolls are like the devil 
They’re out for your soul 

Plastic Trolls
Taking over the world 
We know 
We’ve been robbed of time
Precious strands of gold
Sit back relax
Enjoy the show 
They’ll replace us all with plastic trolls 

I don’t know
Plastic trolls

I’ve been updated and replaced 
By a plastic troll

Good To Go

Words and music by 
Troy Krusenstjerna

I can't stand my job
It's taking its toll
When you truly dread something
You're good to go

Good to go
Good to go
It's all I want 
It's all I know
I'm good to go
Better off 
Hitting the road

You don't even know my name
 Because you never listen
You treat everyone all the same
Numbers in your system
You got your followers 
Kissing your feet
Your high turnover
Hitting the street
Good to go

Good to Go
Good To Go
It's all I want
It's all I know
I'm good to go
I'm better off 
Hitting the road

And they call you in the office
say you work to slow
"Better speed up son or you got to go"
"I got a stack of resumes this high you know"
So pick up the pace, speed up the flow"

Good to Go
Good To Go
It's all I want 
It's all I know
I'm good to go
I'm better off 
Hitting the road

You think were all meek and expendable
But we all know
You can't buy your way into heaven
After you sell your soul

I'm good to go
Good to Go
It's all I want 
It''s all I know 
It's my life
I'll take it slow
I'm good to go

Good To Go

Right Here Right Now

Words and Music by Troy Krusenstjerna


When the world feels so sad
I'm right here with you
Take the good with the bad
We can see this all through

Right Here
Right Now 
Do you understand
Right Here
Right Now
Hold my hand

You make a good day
Out of the gray
You let those bad thoughts
Wither away
You can't change the weather
Enjoy the moment
Were in it together

Right Here
Right Now
Do you understand
Right Here
RIght Now
Hold my hand

(Repeat)

Have a Dream

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

Got to have a dream
Got to have a dream
You could do anything
You want 
If you have a dream 

It don’t take  much
Just a thought 
A hunch 
Maybe while you’re eating lunch
Or brunch?

Got to have a dream 
Got to have a dream
You could do anything 
You want 
If you have a dream 

Don’t look back 
Don’t get stuck in the past 
Seems your dreams 
Are happening 
For you at last 

Got to have a dream 
Got to have a dream
You could do anything
You want 
If you have a dream

You say 
I’m a dreamer 
What are we without our dreams 
You say
I’m a dreamer 
What are we without our dreams 

Got to have a dream 
Got to have a dream 
You could do anything
You want 
If you have a dream

Working for the Man

Look What We Found

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

I met a girl
Out of this world
She's so sweet
We were both 
Broken Hearted
Love 
Hurt our souls
I don't know
What we started
An affair
All up in the air
Love strikes
When you're unprepared

Look what we found
Look what we found
Found love

Can't wait to see her
See her smile
All the while 
I feel I'm flying
High on the world
Like a bird
Head in the clouds
I know I'm pining
Love
When it calls
We fall
It's all about timing

Look what we found
Look what we found 
Found love
Look what we found
Found love

I'm so high
I'll surely be the first to fall
I don't mind
I don't mind at all

Look what we found
Look what we found 
Found love

Look What We Found

Hard To Mend

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

I saw you checking me out
Looking me down
Single me out
Of the crowd
I can deal with that

Was it my clothes
Was it my hair
Was it my gaze
Or was it my stare?
I can deal with that

When you've been around the bend
Lost so many good friends
and a broken heart
It gets so hard to mend
So hard to mend

I was looking at you
Looking at me
Looks like you and i were 
Meant to meet
I can deal with that

Girl you ease my mind
Every minute
You know I'm going to love you
For all time
I'll admit it
I give you my heart
Isn't that the plan
Life is too short
Not to take a chance
Take a chance

Been around the bend
Loved and lost so many good friends
And my broken heart
It sure could use a friend
Won't you be my friend?

 All I ask of you
You can ask of me
How bout your number
How bout Coffee
I can deal with that

Never liked the bar scene
Then I met you
Are you the one?
Could it be true?
Cause I'd love to be with you

Hard to Mend

Leave it Alone

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

Gonna leave it alone
Let go 
Carry on
Stop singing sad love songs
Gonna leave love alone
Had enough of heartache
Gonna change my tune
Put away my guitar
Stop playing the blues
Sometimes you got to let go
Let love come to you
When you're all alone
You got nothing to lose

You got to
Leave it alone
Let go
Carry on
Love strikes when you're not looking
You'll never know
Who


Oh my I'm proud
Got my head in the clouds
Love can free your soul
Love can bring you down
Let it go
It'll come back around

You got to 
Leave it alone
Let go
Carry on
Love strikes when you're not looking
You'll never know
Who

If we could have whoever we wanted
We wouldn't know who we need
Love strikes out of nowhere
Like a cat purring at your feet

You got to
Leave it alone
Let go 
Carry on
Love strikes when you're not looking
You'll never know
Who

Leave it Alone

Nutshell

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

The days feel so long
Like a lifetime
Every second you're gone
I can never unwind

Whenever you're near
Minutes feel like years
Such a crime to keep me waiting
You're the answer to all my tears

My words feel lost
Always come out the wrong way
It's a struggle
When I just want to say

In a nutshell
I love having you around
My hearts been waiting
For a girl like you to come around

Gotten used to taking things slow
I love your company
Put it all in perspective
There's something there 
Between you and me

My words feel lost 
always come out the wrong way
It's a struggle
When I just want to say

In a nutshell
I love having you around
My hearts been waiting
For a girl like you 
To come around
In a nutshell
I love you

you crack me up
I'm going Loco
In a few words
Going to let you know

In a nutshell
I love having you around
My hearts been waiting
For a girl like you 
To come around
In a nutshell
I love you
In a nutshell
I love you

Nutshell

You're All I've Ever Wanted

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

As I get older
The world feels colder
I need a shoulder
To lean on
My luck to know her
My four leaf clover
I can hold her
In a song
In a song

You're all  I've ever wanted
My good friend
You're all I've ever wanted
Through thick and thin

Saw you crossing fifth avenue
In a dream I had of you
All these parallel lives we lived through
Same hometown, same high school
Same teachers, same golden rule
So glad I found you

You're all I've ever wanted
My good friend
You're all I've ever wanted
Through thick and thin

Friendships take time
Let me dance inside your mind
It's up to you to decide
A good friend is hard to find

You're all I've ever wanted
My good friend
You're all I've ever wanted
Through thick and thin

Paycheck to Paycheck

Words and Music by Troy Krusenstjerna

Day and Night
Night and Day
We work
So hard to save

I'm not rich, I'm not free
This world's based on Money and Greed
I'm sick, I'm hungry
Never make enough Money
I'm a man in need

Living...
Paycheck to Paycheck
Why must we all live this way?
Cause Day and Night
Night and Day
We work
Waiting for that pay

So many people they never see
The ocean or the trees
Living chained at the knees
While the rich do as they please
We secure their fortune
Build their industries
Tear up the world working
Never rich and never free
All the time living

Paycheck to Paycheck
Why must we all this live this way
Paycheck to Paycheck
It's the American way

Day and night 
Night and Day
We work
So hard to save
Day and Night
Night and Day
We work
Waiting for that pay

It's no fun on a rainy day
No fun with our hard earned pay
When it's taken all away
I work because I have to
I'd rather spend the time
With my Babe

Paycheck to Paycheck
Why must we all live this way
Paycheck to Paycheck
It's the American Way

Last on your List

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

I'm last on your list 
of things to do
Dealing with me
Is the last thing on 
your list of things to do
It's true

You got priorities
 I don’t fit in with
A busy life
Seems such a mess
Wish there was time 
I'd spend it with you
But your time is tied
With things to do
So I'll wait in line
It's been a week or two
Are you worth the wait
Can't wait to be with you

I'm last on your list
Of things to do
Dealing with me
Is the last thing
On your list
Of things to do
It's true

So many priorities
I don't fit in with
I wish I were the cereal 
on your shopping list
I wish I were the milk 
or the parmesan cheese
You got me stuck 
below the toiletries

I’m last on your list
Of things to do
Dealing with me
Is the last thing on your list
Of things to do
It’s true

Do you wonder why
I can’t sleep at night
You keep me out of sight
And out of mind
The more I fall for you
The more you fall away
I can’t wait another day
I’m last on your list
Last on your list
last on your list
Why you treat me like this?

Last on your list
Of things to do
Dealing with me
Is the last thing on your list
Of things to do
I’m the last thing on your list
The last thing on your list
I’m the last thing on your list
Of things to do
It’s true
