Help Me Waste Some Time
04:16
|
|||
|
I don't know what I'm going do
Maybe I should take the afternoon
And clear my mind
Things get crazy and out of control
You reach the point where you must stop and let go
And try to unwind
I know you have a thousand things to do
They can all wait an. Hour or two
Come on baby help me, come on baby help me,
Come on baby help me
Waste some time.
The sun is shining down upon my head
I have to watch it or I'll be turning red
I'll grab some sunscreen and wine
Maybe we could just sit and talk
Hold hands and take a long walk
Anything you want would be fine
I know you have a thousand things to do
They can all wait an. Hour or two
Come on baby help me, come on baby help me,
Come on baby help me
Waste some time
Bills keep rolling in and the taxes are due
And all I want to do is to spend some time with you
I know you have a thousand things to do
They can all wait an. Hour or two
Come on baby help me, come on baby help me,
Come on baby help me
Waste some time

Milwaukee Road
03:35

The Cool Breeze feels so right on a Star light summer night
And Air condition comfort can be so cold
At the edge of the City’s lights is a place that feels so right
Come on let’s go to Milwaukee road
Take you dancing at Milwaukee Road
We’ll find romance at Milwaukee Road
We’ll take our chances at Milwaukee Road
Come on let's go to Milwaukee Road
The Rotting roof will never be the same,
supported by a rusting frame
Now silence hang where trains once echoed
The clock always read the same, such a pity such a shame
But time stands still at Milwaukee Road
Take you dancing at Milwaukee Road
We’ll find romance at Milwaukee Road
We’ll take our chances at Milwaukee Road
Come on let's go to Milwaukee Road
Bricks and mortar stand the test of time,
stain by paint from graffiti crime
The stories that know are left untold
I’ll turn the Radio on, we’ll moon light dance up till to dawn
And watch the sun rise at Milwaukee Road
Take you dancing at Milwaukee Road
We’ll find romance at Milwaukee Road
We’ll take our chances at Milwaukee Road
Come on let's go to Milwaukee Road

I Will K#!! You Phil
03:44

If Punxsutawney Phil see's his Shadow, I'm going to cook him oh the grill
Dig out my best Barbecue sauce and pretend that summer is here
Going to tenderize him with my pick-up truck, like any other Road kill
So you best not see your Shadow Phil
Cause I will k#!! you Phil
Without a Shadow of a doubt
I will end you Phil
Don't want Winter about
I will k#!! you Phil
You just better keep looking South, and forget about Santa and his Reindeer.
If I catch you Looking North you won't be doing this next year
I'll push Bill Murray out of the way and cart your fat A away
If you see your shadow your going to pay
Cause I will k#!! you Phil
Without a Shadow of a doubt
I will end you Phil
Don't want Winter about
I will k#!! you Phil
The Peta group will help clear the way, thinking am rescuing you
I guess they won't sleep to well, when they see the photo's of the Barbecue
It's February 2nd and you've got a job , and you know what you better do
If predict six more weeks of winter , you know your life is Thru .
Cause I will k#!! you Phil
Without a Shadow of a doubt
I will end you Phil
Don't want Winter about
I will k#!! you Phil
I will k#!! you Phil
I will k#!! you Phil
Then I go after some others
Staten Island Chuck, his brother Chattanooga Chuck ,
Balzac Billy ,and General Beauregard Lee ,and then Wisconsin’s Jimmy the Groundhog
and maybe Nibbles too . Maybe not Jimmy, he bit the mayor , kind of like Him
but I will start with you Phil
I'll k#!! you Phil
I'll k#!! you

Minnesota Winters
It’s a Minnesota Winter and it’s like 20 Below
It Bold and Brazen and you betch ya it’s cold
Let’s go in for the fire and let these cold winds Blow , Let them blow
Just Beginning to start feel my toes
I’ll grab some hot chocolate and marshmallows
And we can add a little something to warm our souls , to warm our souls
Baby I know it cold outside
But I’ll still hail you a warm Cab Ride
Unless you really want to stay
You can have the Room at the top of the stairs
I’ll sleep by the fire here, I don’t care
If those snow plows and drifts bury us here for days, bury us here for days
We won’t let these Minnesota Winters get in our way, get in our way
Solo
No We won’t let these Minnesota Winters get in our way
There’s Wind Chill and winter storm warnings
If you don’t leave now you won't get out in the morning
And all you do is snuggle up closer to me , up closer to me
Time to put another log on the fire
Get those flames raising higher
And thaw out our bodies from this deep Freeze , from this deep Freeze
Baby I know it cold outside
But I’ll still hail you a warm Cab Ride
Unless you really want to stay
You can have the Room at the top of the stairs
I’ll sleep here by the fire , I don’t care
If those snow plows and drifts bury us here for days, bury us here for days
We won’t let these Minnesota Winters get in our way
We won’t let these Minnesota Winters get in our way

One Less Town
04:18
|
|||
|
I got zilch, I got noda , just the picks in my pocket
and this old guitar and case full of blues
I'm gonna busk on the corner, and play my tunes
to make some dollars to get home to you
I'll never make much , but I hope it's enough
to get a ticket on that greyhound bus
And I don't care if it only gets me part way there
There be one less town between the two of us
I got stranded somewhere out on the road
Chasing my dreams I got lost in between
The band split in Memphis Tennessee
When the van went south driving east on fifteen
Staying with a friend , where my welcomes at end
Time to leave this place in the dust
So I don't care if I only get part way there
There be one less town between the two of us
They may pass by or stand and listen
and I Hope they hear something that gets thru
If I bring a tear or make them smile
they may show some love, just a token or two
The tips can be fine, down by the Daily Grind
When people there aren't in such a rush
And I don't care if I only get part way there
There be one less town between the two of us
I got zilch, I got nodda , just the picks in my pocket
and this old guitar and case full of blues

Spin On By
04:42

It’s Crazy out there, People not doing what they should do
Lord knows I need a break from the evening News
I wish People would learn to care for one another
It’s not really that hard to do
I’ll do it for you , you’ll do it for me
We’ll both land in a place that’s a better one to be
For now I’m gonna sit here on this stoop , and forget about life awhile
And let this world just spin on by
It’s Nice here in the shade, and there is room enough for two
I’ll split my six pack if you want to sit a while
Some fly flags of Love, other have one’s of Hate
And monuments to so called Heroes , who ain’t
Don’t Glorify the sinners, make them out to be saints
The Stories they tell the history they taint
People have the right to be taking this to the street
Are we sliding backwards and letting history repeat
For now I’m gonna sit here on the stoop , and forget about life awhile
And let that world go spinning by
It’s Nice here in the shade, and there is room enough for two
I’ll split my six pack if you want to sit a while
I’m gonna sit here on this stoop , and forget about life awhile
And let this world just spin on by

Silver On Black
03:13

Stars sprinkled on a Pallet Black, Crescent Moon adds the light they lack
Silver streak goes shooting By , splitting the nighttime sky
Let’s lay here for a while and watch the sky as we go spinning by
And There’s no turning back, Silver on Black , Silver on Black
And now when I look in the Mirror , I see my jet Black Hair has disappeared
Silver greys creeping in, I Can see wrinkles when I grin
You’re still standing here with me, the way it should always be
And I wouldn’t turn it back, Silver on Black , Silver on Black
Black leather and silver Chrome, Let’s get the bikes out when I get home
Let’s Ride for a while, and not stop till we find our smiles
Just you and me, we’ll make the sunset all it can be
And never look back
Silver on Black

Peace Of Mind
03:59
|
|||
|
Why are the things we need are the one’s we can not Find
Racing the clock each day trying to gain a Little time
You wind the springs and gears to maintain the ticking clock
The second hand keeps the rhythm that you know it will never stop
All I want to do , Is to Sit in the shade and drink a Cold one or two
Forget about time and try to unwind
And Try to find some peace of MInd
And Try to find some peace of MInd
Perceptions in your mind of time you can not hold
It’s never fast or slow , just steady as it goes
You can’t lift the needle and skip to another groove
Time is the drummer that sets the beat you can’t disprove
All I want to do , Is to Sit in the shade and drink a Cold one or two
Forget about time and try to unwind
And Try to find some peace of MInd
And Try to find some peace of MInd
Some say it’s fleeting , but it’s always by your side
There’s no escaping so you shouldn’t even try
Forget about time and try to unwind
And Try to find some peace of MInd
And Try to find some peace of MInd

Schwinn Typhoon
04:14
|

|
A clothespin, and a joker on the fork of a wheel
Do you know how that made me feel
Riding around on that Schwinn Typhoon .
That card on the spokes made my engine zoom
Riding all through town
You could hear us coming around
Just listen for that sound
Of the cards against the spokes of our Wheels
My Brother got a new stingray
When banana seats were all the rage .
He had a hard time keeping up
Those 20 in wheels just not enough
Riding all through town
You could hear us coming around
Just listen for that sound
Of the cards against the spokes of our Wheels
Flying down that hill
I could do it with no hands , such a thrill
No helmets for our Heads
It amazing that we aren’t all dead
Riding all through town
You could hear us coming around
Just listen for that sound
Of the cards against the spokes of our Wheels
Traded that bike on a new 10 speed
27 in orange continental for me
Would ride that bike all around Michigan
With a tent on my back with my best friend
We come riding into towns
You couldn’t hear us coming around
Silent was the sound
No more cards against the spokes of our Wheels
Have kids now and a new set of training wheels
And clothespin, and a joker so they’ll know how this feel
Riding all through town
You could hear us coming around
Just listen for that sound
Of the cards against the spokes of our Wheels
cards against the spokes of our wheels
cards against the spokes of our wheels

Southside Of Your Street

South side of your street
Scat
Playing on the southside of your street
Later I’ll get a beer and something to eat
Sun so brutal beating down on my Brow
The dog’s don’t bark, they just lie there like they forgot how
Somebody said that you lived around here
But I never seem to catch you out my Dear
When I’m playing on the southside of your street
Watching paper fly between people’s feet
While they’re walking down the south side of your street ..
Of you street
Dave and George are having a game of chess
George doesn’t know, but it over in three moves or less
Coffee smells good from the corner cafe
Makes people happy so they tip along the way ..
Somebody said that you lived around here
But I never seem to catch you out my Dear
When I’m playing on the southside of your street
Watching paper fly between people’s feet
While they’re walking down the south side of your street ..
Of you street
Piece of paper flies by
Your foot catches it in stride
You pick it up and flash a smile
And decide to stay a while .
Somebody said that you lived around here
And I can’t believe you are standing so near
While I’m playing on the southside of your street
Watching paper fly between people’s feet
While you’re dancing on the south side of your street ..
Of you street
Scat

Zombie Crawl
04:25

They're going out tonight for a little bite,
watching them move gives me such a fright
They move to the east they move to the west,
going where ever the brains taste the best
You make a noise they will start coming,
so why am I up here on this guitar strumming
It's just no use you can't kill them all ,
so you might as well join them .....
Doing the zombie crawl
Doing the zombie crawl
Doing the zombie crawl
doing the zombie crawl
The fogs not lifting and it's getting dark,
the Alcohol is flowing and they're ready to start
If you don't bite me, I won't bite you ,
but I wouldn't mind a kiss or two
Loosen your top, come under the light ,
and I check you body for scratches and bites
Wouldn't leave you behind if you trip and fall,
Unless you really want to join them
Doing the zombie crawl
Doing the zombie crawl
Doing the zombie crawl
doing the zombie crawl
I can't take all the blood and Gore ,
they're arms and heads laying on the floor
Don't aim for the heart , aim for the head ,
they don't care, they're already (walking ) dead
I'm not sure we will make it till dawn ,
Their numbers are growing and getting strong
Trapped up against a wall and it's time for last call,
we may as well join them
Doing the zombie crawl
Doing the zombie crawl
Doing the zombie crawl
Doing the zombie crawl
doing the zombie crawl
doing the zombie crawl

I Will Be Your Anchor
03:18
|
|||
|
while your up there flittering around
I'll stay here with my feet firm on the ground
I'll be here till you come down
and make you want to spend some time earth bound
I will be your anchor baby and you can be my wings
I can be the one you want to Hold and you can be my everything
I'll just stand here by the wall
and watch you Blow thru the room like a canon ball
I'm just not much of a socialite
You bring such joy you bring such light
I will be your anchor baby and you can be my wings
I can be the one you want to Hold and you can be my everything
I'm just an Introverted entity that loves to watch you dance free
Guess they say that opposites attract Well baby you know I'm down with that
I will be your anchor baby and you can be my wings
I can be the one you want to Hold and you can be my everything
I'll keep things between the lines
that you blow through all the time
It's never about yours and mine,
We blend together oh so fine
I will be your anchor baby and you can be my wings
I can be the one you want to Hold and you can be my everything
I will be your anchor baby and you can be my wings
I can be the one you want to Hold and you can be my everything
I will be your anchor baby and you can be my wings
