Step right up, dont you hesitate, our first stop is a house of mirrors
Youll never be quite satisfied, cause nothings quite as it appears
Then come on down to the carousel,
Where we'll spin you round and round
then make your way to arena three
where well meet all the sad clowns
the final act is quite devious 
nothing short of malevolent
Hold your breath and be so quiet
cause were are the main event

Desperation Desperations all they know 
   its a carnival of broken souls watch them as they go
 Depseration, Desperation theyve lost hope
Its a carnival of broken souls, watch them as they fall

Like a barefoot junkie begging on the street
just to use up their last dime
to trade it all to the pusher man, to tie up one more time
a single mother at her wits end, she resorts to turning tricks
she moans quiet in the dead of night
as she hides her crucifix
a gambling man keeps rolling dice, on a velvet table top 
hes got a problem and he needs help, cause he knows that he cant stop

Desperation Desperations all they know 
   its a carnival of broken souls welcome to the show
 Depseration, Desperation theyve lost hope
Its a carnival of broken souls, watch them as they fall

Salvation might be out of reach
but they sure could use a preacher x 2


Desperation Desperations all they know 
   its a carnival of broken souls watch them as they go
 Depseration, Desperation theyve lost hope
Its a carnival of broken souls, watch them, watch them as they fall

Desperation (demo)

Verse 1

Chuck taylors tap on the pavement
a  boy walks the girl  home from a little arcade the arcade
His arm rests on her shoulder,
street lights shine on the dark promenade 
He spill his guts at her front door, 
He leaves em lying, exposed and out on the floor

Chorus

If you
Want me to leave that’s alright ill just,
head on out into the night, but if you,
want me to stay, Ive got the time
Ive got the timeI

Verse 2

They get a little apartment
Moneys tight and the bills keep piling up
The arguings constant
the pressure is persistent, every day they’re both feeling stuck
He comes home to her bags packed
Boy starts to speak, but girl she interrupts

Chorus

If you
Want me to leave that’s alright ill just,
head on out into the night, but if you,
want me to stay, Ive got the time
Ive got the time..IVE GOT THE TIME

Verse 3

Wrinkles run round their faces
15 years of marriage when the doctor called with the bad news
she’s got a couple of months left
they’re living in the hospice and shes tied up to feed lines and tubes
she tells him he should move on now he 
boy looks at her and says girl im gonna tell you the truth

Chorus
Before he gives his reply
He looks at her deep in her eyes and he
He brushes here hair to the side

Silently he starts to cry
I was never that good but I tried, but if, 
you’ve got the time, Ive got the time
…IVE GOT THE TIME

Hey Baby! Dance With Me

Draft of a song written for a movie scene a collaboration effort with jasmine hildebrant.

where did we go wrong

Can you keep a secret if I, whisper in your ear
Everyone that I want to trust, makes me feel austere
Not a place that I can turn, not a soul that I can trust
In this city of brick and clay, darkness, coal and rust

Through it all, there's a voice whose singing
She said I can, be your help
She said I can, be your help

I move on and leave behind, All the awful memories
Its gotten harder to discern, family from enemies
In time they might understand, offer an apology
Maybe they can sympathize, and show a little empathy

Through it all, there's a voice whose singing
She said I can, be your help
She said I can, be your help

When you live in a small town, Thats just how it goes
The chips they fall, as the rumors rise and the Friends fall away like dominoes
There isn’t much, that I can do, to make them understand
 Maybe this, just all fits in, to some master plan

 
Through it all, there's a voice whose singing
She said I can, be your help
She said I can, be your help

The Help

Down If You're Down to(o)

Paparazzi camera lights they flash so glamour sly
Rolling stone and rock n roll, glossy covers for magazines
Attaboys and autographs, fans they flock in droves
Red carpet everywhere, silk and sequined clothes

No one seems to see me so just turn out the lights
No one seems to hear me scream at night

Stars song the boulevard
watch how bright they burn  
Sweetly spinning carousels, when will it be my turn?  , 
Perfect sattelites, dancing in the sky
Stars song the boulevard
Maybe one day, ill get my chance to shine  

Acting calls and open mics, occupy my time
Headshots and my highlight reels, 
Keep my up at night 
Waiting for my big break, I know its gonna come
But some days 
Ive been so focused on where Im going, IVe forgotten, where Im from

No one seems to see me so just turn out the lights
No one seems to hear me scream at night

Stars song the boulevard
watch how bright they burn  
Sweetly spinning carousels, when will it be my turn?  , 
Perfect sattelites, dancing in the sky
Stars song the boulevard
Maybe one day, ill get my chance to shine

Stars Along The Boulevard (demo)

Song-a-week 2021

Week 9

Theme: Old School

I went with a Beatles-esque theme here. I used some secondary dominant chords like they often did. Did some straight forward retro drums, used a lot of tape saturation during mixing as well as the abbey  roads plug ins. Purple planes is a play on "Yellow Submarine". The lyrics are completely nonsensical and meaningless and there's even a pointless instrumental bridge making further use of the 5 of 5 chord. I also used some some jazzy step wise vocal harmonies in Beatles fashion, The song as a whole is absolutely ridiculous, try not to take it too seriously. I didn't.

You can have your red car
You can have your blue pick
You can have your orange boat
and your mobile made for snow
you can have your pink bike
toss away the three wheeled trike
when I go into town,
theres only one way I get around

If we all had purple planes
We could fly in outer space
the world would be a better place, 
if we all had purple planes
If we all had purple planes
We could fly in outer space
the world would be a better place, 
if we all had purple planes

Dont need a blimp up in the sky
zip lines only go one way
might as well be a horse without hay
space ships arent invented yet
you can forget your silver jets
a limousine might get stuck
youre better off with a monster truck

If we all had purple planes
We could fly in outer space
the world would be a better place, 
if we all had purple planes
If we all had purple planes
We could fly in outer space
the world would be a better place, 
if we all had purple planes

Bridge

If we all had purple planes
We could fly in outer space
the world would be a better place, 
if we all had purple planes
If we all had purple planes
We could fly in outer space
the world would be a better place, 
if we all had purple planes
