SO CLOSE TO LOVE

Bougainvilleas...in her hair
I want to touch her but she's not there.
I see flowers everywhere...
There must be a million but I don't care

Around and around and around and around I go (2)

Woah, Woah, Woah

Lying down in a field of grass
I want to tell her that this will pass
When I dream...I see her smile
And then I wake up and she's a million miles away...Far away...

But I'm feeling So Close To Love
Far Away, Far Away
Feeling So Close To Love

Bougainvilleas...no longer there...
I want to show her she need not fear.
Climbing higher through the trees
It feels like an illusion...Falling leaves

Around and around and around and around we go (2)

I can touch it...I can feel it
I can touch it...I can see it
And I'm feeling So Close To Love
Feeling So Close To Love

BACK HOME

Michigan was cool...but California better
You can't complain about that San Clemente weather
But the people I find...never pay no mind
Hardly anyone has any time

I thought I knew...but I didn't know
Now I have no place to go
I aimed high...landed low
Now I'm on my way Back Home

(Inst. Break)

From the start, the very start
When I was first on my own
and never had a broken heart
I didnt know
I didnt care
Because I was anywhere, anywhere, away from there.

I thought I knew...but I didn't know
Now I have no place to go
I flew high...I landed so low
And now I'm on my way Back Home

(First Verse)

I thought I knew...but I didn't know
Now I have no place to go
I flew high...I landed so low
Now I'm on my way Back Home

Going home
Going home

ANGEL LOVE

You know I did my time in school
I used to follow every rule
Then I found out that they're the fools
Who don't really care about me

Before we know time slips us by
It likes to punch us in the eye
And then we turn around and we all die
The wheel turns endlesdly

That is why you're my Angel Love
Sent to me by God above
Sent down to me from heaven
Just to keep your eyes on me
Just to keep your eyes on me

I promised that I would
Do everything I could
And everything I should
Just to feel love again
And I promised I would find
Some way to change my mind
And leave it all behind
Just to feel love again
Just to feel love again.

That is why you're my Angel Love
Sent to me by God above
Sent down to me from heaven
Just to keep your eyes on me
Just to keep your eyes on me

I promised that I would
Do everything I could
And everything I should
Just to feel love again
And I promised I would find
Some way to change my mind
And leave it all behind
Just to feel love again
Just to feel love again.

That is why you're my Angel Love
Sent to me by God above
Sent down to me from heaven
Just to keep your eyes on me
Just to keep your eyes on me

THINKING ABOUT YOU

Thinking...I should have paid attention
Thinking...I should have taken your advice
Thinking...I should have walked away 
And not put up such a fight

Thinking...I should have stayed in California
Thinking...I left there way too soon
Thinking...My life has been one big mistake and I wonder what it is I should do

Thinking...about immortality
You showed me, Brutha, that its just not  true
But mostly I just waste my time thinking
Thinking About You
Dreaming...About you Brutha
Thinking About You

Thinking you never read my book
Thinking I should have stayed in school
Thinking we should have stayed at home
Instead of acting like such  fools


Thinking...about government assistance...
Something I ain't ever thought about before...
But mostly I just think about you, Brutha
And you wont walk thru that door

Thinking about you brutha
Thinking about you, uh huh
Thinking about you, Brutha
Thinking about you for sure
Thinking About You

DADDY

Daddy, do you love me?
What do you think of me now?
Have I made you happy,
Or do you cry out loud?

Daddy, do you miss me?
What would you say,
If you wete still around,
still alive today
I never got to know you
But you know im going to show you
i've only just begun...
You'll be proud of your son

Daddy, can you see me
From your view so high?
Do you know who I am?
Its been a long, long time

Daddy, I miss you
I would give my life just to kiss you
To shake your hand...
To show you I'm a man

Daddy, do you love me?
What would you think of me now.

END OF TIME

You and I
It doesnt matter if we laugh or cry
We'll be together until the End Of Time
Because we have no place to go...

Me and you 
Did we do everything that we could do?
That depends on your point of view
If it was all a waste of time

Can't you see
This is the way it was meant to be
Me for you and you for me
Until End Of Time
Until the End Of Time 
Until the End Of Time

I've got hope
But I'm clinging to a greasy rope
Sliding down that slippery slope
Until the End Of Time

You and I
It doesn't matter if we laugh or cry
We can look each other in the eye
Until the End Of Time
Until the End of Time.

SMALLTOWN GIRL

Smalltown Girl...
In a great big world
On her own...barely grown in the city
Smalltown Girl...
A long way from home
Looking fresh but all alone in the city.

Bright lights, city nights
From a broken down shack just isnt right...
Without a friend
Broke and cold...missing home!

Smalltown Girl...
Nothing's like it seems
Broken dreams...
On your knees in the city!
Smalltown Girl...
I guess you got your way...
Now its time to pay 
On the streets...they show no pity
No pity...no pity...no pity

Bright lights, city nights
From a broken down shack just isnt right
Without a friend
Broke and cold...missing home

Smalltown Girl...
Why Dont you listen
Its not too late
Pull yourself together find yourself a better way
Its not too late...why dont you listen...
Go back home and find what you're missing...
Smalltown Girl...

Smalltown Girl...

Pull yourself together find yourself a better way

Go back home and find what you're missing.
Why won't you listen
Its not too late
pull yourself together and find a better way
Why wont you listen?
Go back home and find what you're missing.

TIME TO THINK

I was thinking just the other day
Had I run out of notes to play
Had I run out of words to say
Was I all dried up?
Then I thought of my days with you
How you made me smile
How you made me blue
How I was once tied up

There are times you win
There are times you lose 
N'er a chance to choose
Everybody pays their dues
And I've paid mine!

I was thinking just the other day
Why worry what people say
You can always run...
But they'll never go away

There are times you win
There are times you lose
Hardly a chance to choose

(Solo)

Go out and do what you have to do
The good Lord will pull you through
Never mind what people say...
Because they'll never go away
Go out and do what you have to do
The good Lord will pull you through
Never mind what people say
Because they never go away

I was thinking just the other day
Had I run out of notes to play
Had I run out of words to say
Was I all dried up?
Then I thought of my days with you
How you made me smile
How you made me blue
How I was once tied up
Was i all dried up?

I wanna see Babylon
im gonna hear Him sing my song
im gonna see Babylon
im gonna see Babylon
im gonna sing my song

There are times you win
There are times you lose 
Never a chance to choose
Everybody pays their dues
And you'll pay yours

There are times you win
There are times you lose
Never a chance to choose

! was thinking just the other day
Had I run out of notes to play
Had I run out of words to say
Was I all dried up?

GOLDEN RING

i've seen you smile...
I've seen you frown
I've seen you up...
I've seen you down, down, down
I've seen you every way you can be seen. 
I've seen you sleeping
And I've seen you in a dream
Every place...Everywhere...everything
You are the girl with my ring

I've seen you wild
I've seen you tame...
I've seen you when you get mad
It's all the same
Every expression...I've seen every
look...
I've read between the lines in your book...
Every mood...every word
And every note you love to sing
You are the girl with my ring

I know what makes you Shine
when it starts to rain
I know what makes you mad and how to make you smile again...
I might not have a lot...
But i know what I got
You are the girl with my ring

I've seen your sunshine...
I know your worth
I was there when you gave birth!
I've seen you every way you can be seen...
I've watched you sleep at night
And loved you in my dreams
Every smile and every tear
Every hope...every fear
You are the girl with my ring

I know what makes you Shine
When it starts to rain...
I know what makes you mad and how to make you smile again.
i may not have a lot...
But i know what I got
You are the girl with my ring
You are the hirl with my ring
You are the girl with my ring
The girl with my ring

My loved one...
Put our lives on the line
Machine Gun

It's just you and me this time

I'm sitting in my foxhole bungalow
Bullets fly past my head...
I've got a thousand rounds and a lot of prayers
A pile of dirt for my bed!

Machine Gun
My loved one
Put our lives on the line
Machine Gun
We'll Fight on
It's just you and me this time

I grease you down in foreign oil
I lay you down in foreign soil
Needing you more than I need my wife...
Knowing only you can save my life

Put our lives on the line

We'll Fight on

SHO'DO BLUES

I wake up early morning
The room a mess inside my head
And knowing it's no wonder...
I just cant seem to get my fat ass out of bed...

With all those Should-do, Sho-do's
How can I start a revolution?
But what I would-do, would-do
If I could get up in the morning
All you nasty Sho-Do's

Well, my axe is in the corner...
You see my books upon the shelf
You would think it makes a difference
since I can't seem to find a minute to myself

With all those Should-do, Sho-do's
How can I start a revolution?
But what I would-do, would-do
If I could get up in the morning
All those nasty Sho-Do's

I have a girl that says she loves me
She says she'll help me all she can
And its not that she don't mean it
But how can possibly take me as I am?

With all those Should-do, Sho-do's
How can I start a revolution?
But what I would-do, could-do
If I could get up in the morning
All you nasty Sho-Do's

ABORTION

Driving through the fog
On a warm San Clemente night
Heading down to San Diego
Where the price was right

Cruising down I-5...going south
She had a burger in her hand...
And ketchup on the side of her mouth
Ninety-Five dollars is all we had to pay
Seems a small price to take a life away...

Nobody questioned
Nobody cared
No one the wiser...nobody there
Nobdy there...nobody there.

She stood on that stage
In her tiny bathing suit
She looked like the winner to me
There was no dispute
A wink and a swirl, Orphan Annie curls...
No one seemed to care 'bout the destruction of a girl
Awkward smile, Snorting like a child...Running wild.

Nobody questioned
Nobody cared
No one the wiser...nobody there

No one said it would be this way
They claimed it was black and white
but I see only gray
Who woulda thought a moment in time...
Would last forever in the back of my mind.
We were young and dumb...
Full of confusion...whiskey and rum.

Nobody questioned
Nobody cared
No one the wiser...nobody there

Just outside downtown...
Looking torn and afraid
No one was around to take the money that we saved.
Who would be the accomplice...
to a couple young fools?
Stopping a heart...a brand new start
Breaking all their rules

Where can you go
when there is no place to hide?
How do you escape...the devil inside
The devil inside
The devil inside

"Don't be alarmed at the power that you hold.
One day you'll laugh about it.
One day when you're old."
She said, "Try not to think about it.
Try not to care.
This happens to everyone...no reason to be scared!"

Alone in that room
Shaken and scattered...nerves shattered...nothing matterd
Full of worry, anxiety and fear...
"It'll be over before you know it"
All your troubles will disappear

Where can you go
when there's no place to hide?
How do you escape...the devil inside?
The devil inside
The devil inside
The devil inside

COME AND GONE

Nights are getting longer...
Warmth drifts into cold
Another season passes and another year old...
Leaves are slowly turning...
The northern breeze a whisper
Nights are getting shorter
How I wish that i was with her...

Summer's over...
Winter's come!
Another girl has Come And Gone, Woah

Over and over like a rerun movie
Come And Gone...
Over and over and she never really knew me...
Come And Gone
Come And Gone, Woah
Come And Gone

The October wind us singing
Wait until another June...
Nights are getting longer
As I look toward the moon
Summers don't last forever
Nor does love it seems...
Soon there'll be another season's change
And another girl to fill my dreams

Summer's over...
Winter's come
Another girl has Come And Gone, Woah

Over and over like a rerun movie
Come And Gone...
Over and over but she never really knew me
Come And Gone
Come And Gone, woah

DON'T GO AWAY

Don't Go Away, away, away, away
Don't go Away
Don't Go Away, away, away, away
Don't go Away

Sometimes I wonder...
If it's all in my head?
I should be thinking about living but I'm thinking 'bout something else instead.
You may think that I'm crazy...
And maybe I am...
You may think that you know me, Baby...
But you don't understand...
You don't understand

It's never been easy...
And it's just the same today
But if I need some lovin', Baby
Don't Go Away...
Don't Go Away...Don't Go Away

Sometimes I'm thinking...
What goes on in my head?
How come I'm thinking
That I'd rather be dead then you go away
Don't Go Away
Don't Go Away, away, away, away, away
Don't Go Away...
Don't Go Away

And if you leave me
You know I'll lose my mind
And if you go away I'll Somewhere lost in time
   (Used for Bridge on 'Rock' version)

Don't Go Away
Don't Go Away, away, away, away, away
Don't Go Away...
Don't Go Away

Jagged Wires is my accumulative inspirations!

The last of ten children, I was raised in Allen Park, Michigan on Blues, Beatles and Big Bands. My father Kenneth Schultz was an accomplished Big Band trumpeter and saxophonist whose career was unfortuantely derailed by WWll !

My influences vary from Howlin' Wolf to Charley Christian to Brian Eno to Peter Green, Syd Barrett, David Bowie and Scott Walker...with Savoy Brown and Can thrown in for good measure!

I've been produced by artists as diverse as members of America, John Fogerty and The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, My eclectic song stylings have been captured here by such bands as Naked Youth, The Persuaders, The Nameless, Jagged Wires, Fish Eye Gravy and others.  Disecting topics as far ranging as spirituality to politics...love and hate and angst and irreverence...More often than not within the same song! The key is the story told not necessarily the chords that lead it.

After relocating back to Detroit from San Clemente, CA, I formed The Nameless with fellow SoCal transplant and member of Naked Youth and The Persuaders, Chilly Bob Chilcutt. 

After releasing the 4-Song cassette "A Really Big Shoe" The Nameless morphed into Emperor's New Clothes after keyboardist Todd Erkfitz left the band. ENC was nominated in two categories at the Detroit Music Awards: Best Alternative Band, Emperor's New Clothes, and Best Alternative Recording for their album "Run Around Naked".

I retired from performing after suffering serious injuries following being struck by a car in Wyandotte, Mi.  While retired I mentored my two sons, James and Jeremy Schultz, as they formed their own bands including Sunlight Ascending, Wounded Touch, Not OK, Hollow Earth, Thin Skin, Porton Down, Broadacre, Joy And The Aftermath  and Causal Nexus. 

I also wrote and published my first novel, 'The Vela Project' (Xlibris Press) and released an accompanying CD under the same name. My first in a concept series of novel-soundtracks. I have since written 3 other novels, 'Naked Youth', 'The Houseguest' and 'They Shoulda Uber'd'...and two Screenplays.

After publishing 'The Vela Project' I went on to form Jagged Wires in 2017 with guitarists/bassists Bryan Zadrazny, former Allen Park High grad Dennis Angelotti, Chilly and Michigan Rock And Roll Hall-Of-Fame drummer Kenny Puma.
Angelotti left the band and was soon replaced by Slide-guitar wizard Richard Goodell. The band members have evolved and revolved but Jagged Wires has survived with the riddle yet solved...thus far!  

Currently, rotating members include
Trina Manning, ex of Huntress, on Guitar, Richard Goodell from the EZ Kings on slide guitar, Bill Tatar on drums and Todd Erkfitz from The Nameless on keyboards and other guests such as Zev Kendra and Gary Miller on guitars and Erick Whalin and Skip Nelson revolving on bass.

Current recordings include  collaborations with Christian Bouillon from the Montreal area and Walter Blamer from 'Chris And Walter' as well as brother and sister trancers Joshua and Joanna Pomeroy from the Detroit area and Swingin' sisters Teena & Teri from SoCal.

My main goal of this site is to find musicians willing to help with my musical journey.
