F'd Up
02:57

Torture me, put me down
Slap my face, I won’t frown
I’m in love with the wrong girl
I was born in the wrong world
Gonna see who I wanna see
Gonna be who I wanna be
I’m fucked up
That’s just how I like it
So fucked up
That’s just how I like it
I forget, everything
I forgive, when I sing
I’m in love with the long road
When I die where will I go
The lord he forsake me
And the devil won't take me
I’m fucked up
That’s just how I like it
So fucked up
That’s just how I like it

Friends
04:35
|

Leave your brains on the lawnchair
A long, long way from here
All the people stop to watch you drop
Watch you float away
I wonder when you called me friend
For the first time
Maybe over a bottle of wine
I lost a gift but I gained a ring
A common giveaway
It’s up to me now
To find a way somehow
Some things are just too beautiful to give away
Next time around I won’t act like a clown
Not watered down, I’m a holy man now
Gonna raise you from that mausoleum
She’s my beauty queen, so I gotta find a way

Standing in the Window
02:30
|
|||
I’m running hot
But my blood is cold
Just hanging ‘round
Well it's getting old
My hands are bruised
My heart is black
My baby’s gone
She won’t come back
Something’s wrong with me
I been crawling around in the dark baby I can’t see
Been flying high
Been laying low
Been singing songs to an angel standing in the window
I’m shakin’ up
Too much too soon
I’m breaking down
Howl at the moon
Oh won’t you gimme a sign
Before I break
There’s only so much this poor man can take
Something’s wrong with me
I been crawling around in the dark baby I can’t see
Been flying high
Been laying low
Been singing songs to an angel standing in the window
Oh but what can I do?
When all I can think about is you…
Something’s wrong with me
I been crawling around in the dark baby I can’t see
Been flying high
Been laying low
Been singing songs to an angel standing in the window

Chickie and the Toad
03:42
|

Why did the chickie cross the road?
To give a little kiss to the ugly old toad
“I’m so glad you came my way but I’m not gonna let you get away.”
I’m gonna make you mine
Nowhere left to hide
Well Chickie got scared and she wanted to leave but the toad had another trick up his sleeve
“There’s one way out of this muddy hole you gotta sing me a song with all your soul.”
I’m gonna make you mine
You’re gonna be my bride
Chickie sang with a haunted desperation that only a prisoner could know
Toad looked Chickie straight in the eye said “I think it’s time I let this songbird fly”
But Chickie never sang like that before and said “Think I’ll stick around and learn a little more”
I’m gonna make you mine
All I need is time

Burn it Down
03:33
|
|||
People try to inform me of my mistakes
But I never get to fall down that way
Outside, see the bright lights, underneath them
Come on away, come on away
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, down to the ground, burn it down
Under the bright lights you shine like a star
When you’re hot like the Sun it’s so easy to get burned
People often tell me of their problems
But I never get to slow down that way
Inside something peaceful serenades me
Come on away, come on away
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, down to the ground, burn it down
Under the bright lights you shine like a star
When you’re hot like the sun it’s so easy to get burned

Jim Dan Dee Toronto, Ontario
“Real Blues” presents an honest and raw portrait of the band’s musical Blues and Rock influences. We tried for a no overdubs approach whenever possible; listeners will get about as close as they can to the live experience without leaving their homes. We really wanted this album to breathe; all the squeaks, breaths, clicks and buzzes remain on record, so the quiet moments have a life of their own. ... more
