She Said No

Here we go again with the same old story
What did I do this time, inform me
This is the fire that I've seen before
Should have seen that smoke coming through that door
Here comes the wrath from the gates of Hell
in the form of a fight between a boy and girl
One with the white flag, the other keeps score
on the battleground of two broken hearts at war
~Chorus~
She said no, it is over. You must go away.
I said no, I'm not leaving you alone this way.
Here comes the fire that I've seen before
Burned me once, now i'm back for more
The story unfolds with the look in her eyes
Flickering images of black and white lies
There's no point trying to make you hear me
I'm so sorry, so sincerely.
Just one little thing, please can you tell me:
what in the world did I do, exactly?
~Chorus~
I didn't mean to make you run
I didn't mean to make you fall
The last thing on my mind was to see you
in any pain at all
I didn't mean to make you cry
I didn't mean to tell you lies
Cause all i ever meant to do was love you
~Chorus~

Oh Lucy
03:33
|

|
Lucy's love is a combination of
the highs and lows of jumping out of windows
The color green has always been to me
a shade of grey, Lucy wipe your tears away
~Chorus~
Don't you say what I think you're gonna say
Words are overloaded, tears are color coded
Don't you see who you're turning out to be
Lucy, you're the one you were always running from
Come rain or shine, Lucy's right on time
through grassy hills, she don't need to pay no doctor's bills
Wake me up when the curtain's draw
when you're all shook up, Lucy's walking out that door
~Chorus~
Lucy's luck is the feather that you plucked
your rabbit's feet you abandoned by the lilac tree
your silver tongue you found when you were young
your vanity left you lying in the high street
~Chorus~

Someone To Love
03:06

Call the doctor, call, call the doctor
I'm on fire, but do what you wanna
close your eyes and hope that I disappear
Down and broken, man, I am broken
of affection, I need your attention
You're not human, cause you never shed a tear
But you haven't got someone to love
Lock your heart, and I'll swallow the key, dear
Hear you screaming, "never asked you to come here!
Sad little puppy, stop following me around!"
It's not the time to tell you I love you
Likely only ignite and upset you
Feel the warmth of your hand as it strikes me down
But you haven't got someone to love

I Don't Love You Anymore

By the time he read that letter
she was halfway down to Mexico
She didn't want it to end like this,
but it hadn't been easy to let him go
Like a bird uncaged, she was finally free,
she said I don't like the way you been treating me
I've been taking your 'shh' for way too long,
you can't win me back with your guitar song, cause
Sometimes you got to go
Sometimes you got to know
when it's time to let them go
~Chorus~
I don't want you
I don't need you
I don't love you anymore
I don't feel this
I don't want your kiss
i don't love you anymore
She signed that letter sincerely Angel
PS i finally found my wings
I don't need your picture-frame lies
and I don't need your material things
I had to drive three thousand miles
so I wouldn't have to see your face no more
No chance of running into you
on the street, in the bar, or the corner store, cause
Sometimes you got to go
Sometimes you got to know when it's time to let them go
~Chorus~
Well he took that letter and he tore it into shreds
threw the little pieces across the unmade bed
By the time that he reached his car
She was sipping a mojito at the hotel bar
She took the telephone, she threw it in a wave
suddenly her misery was washed away
Feel that sand beneeth your feet
Feel that warmth, that's the feeling of being free
Sometimes you got to go
Sometimes you gonna be the only one who knows what you're running from
~Chorus~

Baby I Gotta Leave You
03:33
|
|||
|
I see it in your eyes
in your devilish smile
You've got heavy plans for me
I've known for a long while
you hold on tight
let your nails sink in
you won't let go when i ask you so
there can be no escaping
CH.
Baby I gotta leave you now
Baby I gotta leave you now
Baby I gotta leave you but I don't know how
Cool yor heart
let your guard down low
you think you got me trapped
but I'll be the one who's letting go
You're in command
I let you think this way
but girl you send me out my mind
now I'm taking my guitar I'm gonna drive away
CH.
I gotta see it in your eyes
as I turn around
you say you love too much you're sorry
as your knees fall to the ground
You hold on tight
let your nails sink in
you won't let go when i ask you so
there can be no escaping
CH.

Half The Love
04:25
|
|||
|
Everything has changed
Nothing is for real
Roll the dice, my friend
Tell me how you feel
Sing it from the heart
words that help to lift up the boulders
that rest on my shoulders
Emptiness remains
mute the shooting pains
loneliness concealed
tell me how you feel
Well i'm laying in the light
but my heart is covered up in the stitches
from unfaithful bitches
Suddenly you say
There's more to life than this
Every kiss is filled with pain
~Chorus~
Half the love, oh half the love
is not enough, is not enough
Even when you're here with me
there's always something in between
Half the love, oh half the love
is not enough, is not enough
If you could only see what you do to me
Half the love is half of what I need
I think you know by know
It's colder when it rains
And as the storm progresses
it reminds me of better days
Well I'm walking in the dark
But i'm seeing this whole world in a new light
The bells ring for midnight
Suddenly you say
There's more to life than this
Every kiss is filled with pain
~Chorus~

All I Ever Had
03:08
|

|
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever needed
You're all I ever
wanted was you
I'm not sure, I'm not sure
Why I'm here, here at all
I'm not sure, I'm not sure
Why I'm here, here at all
Maybe it's because of you
Maybe it's because of you
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever needed
You're all I ever
wanted was you
Why do you, why do you
Always seem, seem so blue
Why do you, why do you
Always seem, seem to lose
Maybe it's because of me
Maybe it's because of me
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever needed
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever needed
You're all I ever
wanted was you
Yeah, I'm not sure, I'm not sure
If the boulevard is three or fantastic four
or five or two, and then which two are who
I guess depending on the night or on your point of view
But in any form, we always try to break the norm
through quake or storm, our music keeps you safe and warm
we don't conform, our beats are in a wide array
and that's why it's so confusing all the style we play
So leave the east end, east liberty
Cause on the North Side's where we make history
Brighton Heights, meeting all types of nights
to set it right, disagree, keep the fight alight
to write and edit, talk about the news on Reddit,
get it down in the music so we don't forget it
we won't regret it, if it's all over soon
we're just looking for our thirty seconds on the moon

Lady Of Love
03:10
|
|||
|
Deep in the Appalachian Hills
stood a castle as high as the sun
Surrounded by a gate from north to south
no one comes in, no one goes out
The mystery that shrouds this place is
heavy as the fog above
But rumor is this, that inside lives the Lady of Love
The Lady of Love, the Lady of Love
The Lady of Love, the Lady of Love
She's the one every man desires
with a heart of ice and a soul on fire
She's the Lady of Love
Well, Lady of Love is a curious creature
That few have ever seen.
With legs so long and breast so pert
She's built like a machine
but set your eyes upon her face
her beauty, smile and poisonous grace
You'll never walk in a straight line again
The Lady of Love, the Lady of Love
The Lady of Love, the Lady of Love
Her beauty does things to a man
If you're sitting down, don't try to stand
She's the Lady of Love
Well on this day I took my chance
And I climbed those high steel gates
I crawled through mud on hands and knees
Until I reached the entrance way
Well I knocked three times and the door swung open
Suddenly I felt swollen
There before me stood the Lady of Love
Well I stood there trembling in my boots
Said I can't believe it's really you
As I began to look her up and down
She smiled at me, gave me a wink
She said would you like to come in for a drink?'
it's not often I have visitors come around!
The Lady of Love, the Lady of Love
The Lady of Love, the Lady of Love
She's the one every man desires
with a heart of ice and a soul on fire
She's the Lady of Love
The Lady of Love, the Lady of Love
The Lady of Love, the Lady of Love
Her beauty does things to a man
If you're sitting down, don't try to stand
She's the Lady of Love

Number In Blood
04:28

I know you do not see me
But I see you
Smile with your friends, I'm your friend
If you want me to...
Silence in the bedroom
Fade to blue
Friday night my fantasy
Is you... I lose
~Chorus~
I got your number in blood, in blood
I got your number in blood, in blood
I know you do not believe me
But I need you
Meet you in your dreams, in my dreams
You say I do...
Silence in the bedroom
Fade to blue
Friday night I whisper
I love you... I do
~Chorus~

Watch My World Die
05:09
|
|||
|
This is not progress
This is distress
Oh what a mess
What a big bloody mess
This is not a war
This is not a fair fight
This is not a window
For you to see the light
This is not a battle
This is not a victory
This is not about the desert
Or the oil, or being free
This is not a revolution
When there is no solution
This is impossible
To find a conclusion
~Chorus~
I can't stand here and watch my world die
I won't let my whole life pass me by
Why, must we fight, must we fight to survive
I can't stand here and watch my world
Die
This is not the news
This is just an excuse
For amusing our minds
With facts of no use
This is not fear
This is not being brave
This is not a prayer
To ensure I'll be saved
This is not guidance
This is not my advice
This is not a mystery under
Which the truth lies
This is not fate
This is not destiny
If there are no repercussions
Then do as you please
~Chorus~
This is not faith
This is not about religion
This is not about heaven
This was born from science fiction
This is not a weapon
This is not a toy
You look like a man
But you talk like a boy
This is not progression
This is repeated repetition
The leaders don't listen
To their own premonitions
This is not the solution
This is just devastation
Fight fire with fire
Is a hopeless equation
~Chorus~

My Love Is Going Nowhere
04:00
|
|||
|
Woven heartstrings
Threads are breaking
But you're still my everything
My love, my love is going nowhere
My soul hurts me
From misplaced memories
Finally I'm drowning
My love, my love is going nowhere
~Chorus~
Have you seen the daydreams
I long to share with you
Walking through the halls
I stand and wait for you
Walls are silver lined
Under the caving roof
I'll open up my dreams
And then you'll know the truth
I will wait for you
Keep it together
Or just whatever
But there's still forever
My love, my love is going nowhere
~Chorus~

Don't Compromise
04:39
|

|
The trouble with life is
It gets in the way
What else can I say?
Some things never change
What you're doing
and what you wanna do
are two different things
you don't always get to choose
The trouble with living is
forgetting to live
To do it all again,
Oh what I wouldn't give
Take it back, oh,
I wouldn't make a change
Mistakes are for making
There's no need to rearrange
I'm not saying that it hasn't been hard
There are days that remind me of my lucky stars
So don't, don't you ever compromise your happiness
The trouble with an excuse
is that it's easy to make
Blindfold your conscience
Walk and talk like a fake
Slap yourself for thinking
You can live your life this way
A man can make it to a hundred
But never live a single day
I'm not saying that it hasn't been hard
There are days that remind me of my lucky stars
So don't, don't you ever compromise your happiness
The trouble with the world
is that it's so blind to see
The people who seem crazy
Just the ones who wanna be
Well I'm no shining example
of society
But I'm smiling cause i'm smiling
There ain't nothing wrong with me
Nothing wrong with me
So don't, don't you ever compromise your happiness

James The Cat 2.0
04:23
|

See, I was smoking in the sunshine
On a clear blue summer's day
I didn't know where the heck I was
But I thought i knew the way
To the funky old cat's home
Oh man, you should have seen those street cats moan
I picked up my guitar and start to play
What the hell you looking at
I heard them pussies cry
Don't you know I'm James the cat,
I'm sweeter than a cherry pie
I'm the meanest cat on this scene
I play real hard and I fight real mean
You gonna take one look at me
You know what I mean
~Chorus~
My name's James
James the cat
Chasing the birds and the butterflies, oh
James the cat
Everybody knows about me
How I like to sing and wail
I'm the smoothest cat in this town,
I like to shake my tail
I got blues bass and guitar
Pretty little woman and a real fast car
You gonna take one look at me,
You know I'm going far
~Chorus~
Now, I go by the name of a cat named James
I'm the illest little kitty and I don't play games
I'm'a maim you, homie can't you see these claws?
I robbed a pet shop, now I'm running from the law
I ain't a house cat; I run this whole damn block
I keep a bag of catnip right beside my glock
Don't pet me, or i'm'n'a castrate a fish
I keep my milk in a saucer and my food in a dish
Birdies when then come they wanna run around
so I'm raising up a paw, and I'm smacking them down
Don't cross me, I can always smell a rat
When I go to hit the town I'm like the cat in the hat.
My posse's in effect every time we meet
I just say "meow" and Tim drops that beat
The bass is big, the vocals are hard
It's Joel Lindsey and the one and only Boulevard
~Chorus~
