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

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

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

about

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
