the other day my friend and I were swimming in the lovely Pacific, in Hermosa Beach, singing big Wave as loud as we could while getting pummeled with waves...it was awesome :-)
Didn't I give you everything?
Didn't I take you where you want to be?
Didn't I make you feel just like a queen?
And all that time I thought that I was gettin' somethin' right
Look me in the eye and tell me somethin'
Am I supposed to walk away with nothin'?
Do I convince myself we never happened?
Well I guess I won't be denied
I'm gettin' somethin' right
Lover!
Are you happy now?
Quitter...QUITTER!
In the coming days the dust will cover
All the evidence of your first lover
I hope wherever you are now you'll wake up
And see just what a mess you made of this
'Cause I'm gettin' somethin' right
Am I gettin' somethin' right?
Lover! Are you happy now?
Quitter...QUITTER!
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
"Theres a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die"
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
Miles Davis, I've been swayed by the cool.
There's just something about the summertime.
There's just something about the moon.
So I'll lay a kiss on this storm, toss it upside your window, by the roof.
Before you change your mind, Miles, bring in the cool.
Now honey, put on your red dress.
And you diamond soul shoes.
Climb on down from that window.
Climb on out of your room.
Cause I've never had a good thing and I've always had the blues.
I always heard that you always kind of wandered, Miles, strike up the Cool.
Don't wait too long to come home.
My have the years of our youth passed on.
Don't wait too long to come home.
I'll leave the front light on.
The night is our own, come home.
-Gaslight Anthem
"All I Ever Knew" available now in print and digital formats at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks.
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you
I know sometimes you may wonder
From little things I say and do
But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you cause I'll need you
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you
Too many times I don't tell you
Too many things get in the way
And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me in every way
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you
You so easily amuse
Like a pantomime
Such a silent crime
You so easily abuse
Lack of confidence
Its your best offense
You so easily confuse
You cant deny it
Still you try to hide it
Faded
So faded
Like a memory gone
Theres no recollection
Faded
So faded
Like a forgotten dream
Further than it seems
You so hastily defy
When you think you need it
You find a way to bleed it
You so hastily deny
Pleading innocence
Its your best defense
You so hastily reply
The moment that you said it
Already regret it
Faded
So faded
Like a memory gone
Theres no recollection
Faded
So faded
Like a forgotten dream
Love this song on LIVE From MARS which fades into "Whole Lotta Love" his guitar playing is unforgettable.

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after love dies
so sell your suit and tie and come and live with me
leukemia, schizophrenia, polyethylene
there is no significant risk to your health
she used to be beautiful once as well
plastic bag, middle class, polyethylene
decaffeinate, unleaded, keep all surfaces clean
if you don't believe this, sell your soul
if you don't get into it, no one will
don't compete; coexist
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
Ooh we ooh
Ooh wee ooh
In the beginning
God made the land
Then He made the water and creatures, then He made man
He was born with a passion, love and hate
A restless spirit with a need for a mate
But there was somethin' that was missin', somethin' lost
So he came with the answer, here's what it cost
One part love, one part wild
One part lady, one part child
I give you
Women! women! - Lots of pretty women
Men! men! - They can't live without them
Women! women! - Lots of pretty women
Men! men! - They can't live without them
Peace

Behind her eyes there's curtains and they've been closed to hide the flames. Remains.
She know their futures burning but she can smile just the same. Same.
And though her mood is fine today there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.
Standing like a statue. A chin of stone a heart of clay. Hey.
And thought he's too big a man to say there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I'll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City
you just got paid and now you're gone and i'm stuck in second place
don't compete; coexist
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
'YOU FONDLE MY TRIGGER
THEN YOU BLAME MY GUN
And when I think of it...
My fingers turn a FIST
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You beat with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry, get off now baby
It won't be long 'till you'll be lying limp in your own hands'
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
Above there is no ending
For the Vodka spinning Mir
All that is is passing
And now is never here
So keep on raging
You frenzied pioneers
No time for the wringing of hands
Strange faced ambassadors, strike up the band
Bust out that Dom Perignon
Johnnie Walker Red on that fairway lawn
Remember tripping on the fourth of July?
Exploding octopuses in disguise?
They picked you up and they never let you down.
Everyone’s forgiven in the land of Pleasant Living now.
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
i know my answers often left you
feeling like you were hanging out to dry
i know my reasons
have left you wondering why
and I've had these questions
looming over me
since the day you took flight
but if you come back
there will be good times
i see your face
when I’m staring out the window
beaming down in the moonlight
the winter is colder
without you by my side
all i have is this photo
of your smile to remind
of my wrongs and my rights
but if you come back
there will be good times
**getting pumped for the Xavier Rudd shows!!!**

Just where I was before you appeared.
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face.
Whatever you are, be a good one --Lincoln
Oh and it'll be stuck in your head all damn day!

To all of the questions of my heart'
Poor jack... I can't stand ya right now!

I have my freedom, but I don't have much time

Wish you were here...

Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Cause this time I'm gone
they're singing with the dead
overhead
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.

is pounding at my door
screaming for more
in a world that owes you nothing
you give everything
everything
and now i'm caught in between
what i can't leave behind
and what i may never find
so fly one time
fly one time
standing at the edge of your life
at the edge of our lives
don't hold on
there's no fighting back the years
so hard to unlearn fears
now you're caught between
what you can't leave behind
and all that you may never find
so fly
just fly
just fly one time
For the Vodka spinning Mir
All that is is passing
And now is never here
So keep on raging
