STH- Fade Away

90's inspired hard rock written, produced and recorded in Metro Detroit.

Lyrics:
Can't find the aptitude and leave it all behind. But then again behind is where I thrive.
Pushing back on what we know. Let's pack it up, it's time to go.

And cloistered hope has gone away. Your storied past just fails to blow my mind.
Bruise your soul one last time. I'm giving up and that's just fine.
I'm going on a ride.

Compensation grifts, like stealing from yourself. Never mind it's always someone else.
Don't rely on what you see. Just grab your things, its time to leave.

And cloistered hope has gone away. Your storied past just fails to blow my mind.
Bruise you soul one last time. I'm giving up and that's just fine, I'm going on that ride today!

And we're rolling. Got me rolling. Now we're rolling in despair.

And cloistered hope has gone away. Your storied past just fails to blow my mind.
Broken soul has come to play. I'm giving up and that's Ok, I'm going on that ride today!

Sadly I never gota live band version of this song, but I do have this version from Band Practice which sounds ok(ish). On this version my Son Tom 
sat in on drums!, Eddie and Terry also played Lead Guitar and Bass, my Acoustic is buried somewhere :-)

For 20 million years or more this hill has stayed the same 'till here in 1899 
won't be the same again
One thousand men marched to the top to fight the will of one
Into a hail of molten rain they fell there everyone

Empire calls you
Kitchener is asking after you!

Barely 15 years has passed a new fixture and time
One million men on every side along the Western line
Haig's whistle burst upon his lips, Balloon is up let’s kill the Fritz
Over the top your bayonets fixed, fell like a pack of cards

Empire calls you
Kitchener is asking after you!

And now they have found Empires fallen to the ground
And  all your  Mothers Sons have fell in vain
Whilst in a field somewhere in France, a sway of Poppies dance
And a sea of crosses stretch for evermore......

A replay’s called in 39, by 44 it's extra time
From East to West along the line, the Bosh is on the run
Now Monty calls to Eisenhower, Churchill to the Eastern power
Send Hitler to the Bloody Tower, The British Empires done

Empire calls you
Kitchener is asking after you!
Empire calls you
Kitchener is asking after you!

Empire- (Live)

This is a live version of an original song, written many years ago when I was young and idealistic :-) The Band was called "Both Ends Burning"

Class Distinctions (Dm Am7) Capo 1
Class distinctions your working class (Dm Am)
In the environment you need a pass (G Am)
Class is colour back or white (Dm Am)
Class big brother a knock in the night (G Am)

Class Distinctions

Class addiction the drugs you need
Class infection the rag you read
Class rejection your down and out
Class detection and you’ve been found out!

Class Distinctions

You know its right (Dm Am)
You’ve never liked it and you’d like to fight (G Am)
Maybe someday (Dm Am)
We’ll as see things a different way (G A)

And those Class Distinctions

Class election red or blue
Whatever you choose now it ain’t up to you
Class defection don’t cross that line
Class reflection get it right next time

Class Distinctions

You know its right 
You’ve never liked it and you’d like to fight 
Maybe someday 
We’ll as see things a different way 

And those Class Distinctions

Class Distinctions (Live)

90's inspire rock produced in Metro Detroit.

Look at you save the day pushing weary souls out of the way.
I guess I'm on my own.
It's not your call, it's not your lie. Excuse yourself from action all the time.
It doesn't have to be this way.
10 years of being sore. Leaves you wanting so much more 
Who will help you?

Cast aside the broken laws, and saddle up for one more cause.
Painting picture you want to see, like a bag of candied misery.
A can of whoop-ass it's all the same. Common sense is so mundane.
Learn the lesson. Who will save you?

Why try to help me when ribbons in your hair is all they see.
You're not the one that they deceive. 
Unmarked grave for one you love, viewing history from high above.
Above another moral line.
Dime store economists say salvation cannot exist.
Who will help you?

Cast aside the broken laws, and saddle up for one more cause.
Painting picture you want to see, like a bag of candied misery.
A can of whoop-ass it's all the same. Common sense is so mundane.
Learn the lesson. Who will save you?

And then we walk away. Honest wage and simple ways left behind.
And then we run away. You decide who will fly, learn the lesson.

Esta canción es un grito musical contra la incertidumbre y la corrupción que vivimos en las instituciones y en la política en nuestro país hace pocos años. ¡Suban el volumen y que esta canción resuene con fuerza!

Lyrics:

Everything’s good and everything’s fine
I know what’s yours and I know what’s mine
I’ve got control over what I got
It don’t bother me that it’s not a lot
I’ve got no time for what you believe
Cuz I’m not stupid and I'm not naive
I don't know why it's so important to say
Doesn't matter if it’s true I'm going to tell you I’m okay.   

I don’t need to listen when you call it denial
All I ever need is my convincing smile
I got some friends who believe what I say
The others I don’t see a lot these days
Maybe its true that the country’s dying
Most everybody seems to have given up trying
But me I’m good and I’ve made the call
I’ll vote for that guy who says he will fix it all   

I’m OK
Pay no attention to what you see, believe me when I say
I’m OK   
You ask me if I want to have a chat
So you can ask again where I'm at
But I don’t have anything left to say
I already told you  I'm OK    

And when I tell you
That I’m ok
It don’t mean I’m good
It’s something I say
OK means     
You can leave me alone
I can be trusted to
Be on my own

You don’t know me
Though you think you do
You got no idea
What I’ve been through
I’ve done my tIme
That’s all I’m willing to say
No matter how it looks
All you need to know is I’m OK 

I aint go no privilege - at least not a lot
I’ve worked hard for everything I got
I never had any anything that aided me
I just worked hard and then they paid me
Now I’ve got this pile of stuff
One day I just might have enough
If I work hard enough on being OK
It might turn out to be true one day   

I’m OK
Pay no attention to what I do, believe me when I say
I’m OK   
It took me time to learn to be OK
But now I plan on staying that way
And I don’t anything left to say
Cuz I already told you I'm OK    
I already told you I'm OK

Everything's Good
