New Day

Just Passin’ Thru

(t boudreau)

Take whatever you want from me (babe)

Take all that you need

I need to lighten my load lately

To a certain degree

Tokens only are slowing me down

There’s alot of luggage in life

Chatter scattered across this town

The speculations are rife

I dont wanna seem rude

Im just passin’ thru

Looking for my next thing, baby

Time to fly this coop

Stumble into a new fling, maybe

It’s just an endless loop

I want to live in this moment

With all my yesterdays gone

Tomorrow’s never a promise

It may never come

(So I’m...)

Not planting my roots

I'm just passing thru

I want nothing to lose

Trying to stay true to you

Got nothing to prove

I’m always on the move

I'm just passing thru

Not leaving my prints behind

I'm wiping 'em clean

No evidence of mine

Is ever found at the scene

And you can be my passenger

Under one condition

Taking less and leaving more

Is our only mission

Not even kickin off my boots

I’m Just passing thru

Got nothing accrued

I'm just trying to be true to you

Got nothing to prove

I'm always on the move

I'm just passing thru

Gone To Stay

(C Maiorano)

Here at the crossroads, with no ideas

River of time flows, year after year

We change as the wind blows, storm drawing near

The light of our life glows, then disappears

We wrestle with reason, struggle with fear

We weather the seasons, and smile through tears

Freeze when the heat’s on, misfortune we cheer

Forgiving the treason, the fates have prepared

The choices we make, the chances we take, the hearts that we break, will

Have their day The bridges we’ve crossed, the moments we’ve lost, the

Letters we’ve tossed, are gone to stay

Still chasing the rainbow, path is unclear

Wearing a halo, it’s our cross to bear

Doubting our hero’s, ignoring our cares

Existing in limbo, wish you were here

Dreams are imprisoned, mind unaware

In silence we listen, in loudness we hear

We’ve made our decision, so commonly rare

From ashes we’ve risen, as mist, in the air

The Long Hard Line

( t boudreau)

I locked myself inside in my mind

Slammed the doors and drew the blinds

I searched my soul to see what i'd find

Purged whatever wasn't mine

There comes a time when we find

We must draw that long hard line

and then decide which side

We feel that we belong

Be it weak or be it strong

I stared myself straight in my eye

And explained away the reasons why

It took so long for me to rise

Above that harrowing disguise

But there comes a day when we say

This is the path that we must take

And all the turns along the way

They lead us to this place

We feel theres nothing we cant face

I caught myself right on the edge

of leaping off that ungrateful ledge

I raised my hand i took the pledge

Between then and now i drove the wedge

And there comes a smile on the face

who finds themselves in that certain space

Between the capture and the chase

its not who wins this race

only where and how you place

So face it...

I woke myself from the blissfull dream

Where everything is just as it seems

No deep deciet or shallow schemes

The simple truth that lies beneath

There comes a time in our lives

When we must walk that long hard line

and then decide which side

We feel that we belong

Be it right or even wrong....

High 'n Mighty

(t boudreau)

Well look who made it halfway

I truly must be blessed

I made a few mistakes and caught a couple of breaks I guess

And I always do it my way

I make it up as I go along

I think I earned some slack to take a look back at what went wrong

We used to be so high, high and mighty

Never knew what we stood for, Never thought we could fall

We were taught that if you tried you just might succeed

And the slightest bit of difference is significant to the whole

(Well I see ya) standing out there sideways

You got your heels dug in deep

Surrounded by your boys making all that noise its so cheap

I know your heart is out on your sleeve

And your backs against the wall

All those sleepless nights from the plight of how the mighty will fall

We used to be so high, high and mighty

Never knew what we stood for, Never thought we could fall

We were taught that if you tried you just might succeed

And the slightest bit of difference is significant to the whole

Out on that lonesome highway

Its getting hard to read the signs

What was once secure is now obscure and robbed us blind

And as the middle fades away

And the bottoms dropping out

A constant divide, a cultures suicide, without a doubt

We used to be so high, high and mighty

Never knew what we stood for, Never thought we could fall

We were taught that if you tried you just might succeed

And the slightest bit of difference is significant to the whole

And dying while your trying is still better than not trying at all

Burning while you're learning well ya never learned nothing at all

But your slightest bit of difference is significant to us all

Sublime Intervention

(nobody cares)

(t boudreau)

I peaked thru a hole in my soul and saw you standing there

Ringing the bell of my heart

I forget where we left and that’s a great place to start

We took a fling on the wing of a wild thing

To get a view from above

When we crashed to the ground we lost sight of love

And nobody cares

I view my world in reverse so I don’t have to rehearse

It sure beats pretending

I got time to write myself a happy ending

A long walk in the woods just might do me some good

Might get my head on a wall

They only build us up just to fall

And nobody cares, its like we’re not even here

There’s a death ride in life that starts on the lower east side

And ends up just south of heaven

A short stones throw from the Seven Eleven

Its best to strap yourself in and just let it begin

The next thing ya know its over

Like a super star but nobody knows ya

And nobody cares

Jet-black windows overlook the balcony on the 92nd floor

And the blood runs from your bone-white fingertips as you clench nevermore

Climbed thru that hole in my soul I saw you running away

With someone far more glamorous

I laid it on pretty thick but you just weren’t having it

So I hitched a ride on a red-eyed firefly headed for another dimension

We shared a hit a sublime intervention

And nobody cares, its like we’re not even here

Home-Made Rock n Roll

( t boudreau)

I want to tell ya about my baby

She does a little kitchen dance

She turns up my heat

And grease's down my sheets

And she can rattle my pots n pans

She can start with a slow simmer

And turn it up to a rolling boil

But one things is for sure

No matter what she serves

The left overs get wrapped in foil

My baby's cooking food for my soul

A holistic casserole

Theres a sign on the wall

"come one come all"

She's serving home-made rock n roll

She keeps the back-beat back in the pantry

Shes got the stone-cold bass on ice

She sings Savory or sweet

And cooks a melody

That says ‘Boy, don't make me call you twice’

And she can sure chew on the grizzle

I say the meat is sweeter near the bone

But that one thing she got

Is hallopenio hot

And tonight we’re dining alone

My baby’s cooking out of control

It’s an organic a la mode

And there’s always a mood

Of good friends and good food

She’s serving home-made rock n roll

Ya gotta get there by eleven

Although the kitchen may be closed by then

But one thing that I know

Is that the drinks will flow

And her dessert cart is really rockin

My baby's cooking food for my soul

So wholesome and natural

Theres a sign on the wall

"come one come all"

She's serving home-made rock n roll

Forever Forward

( t boudreau)

They call us the orphans

Cuz we answer to no one

And every so often

We feel we belong

We carry these torches

Forever Forward

In the back of your mind

You’ll hear our song

Its a brand new day and a new way

nothing lasts forever no, no ones here to stay

and when look back on this we'll probably say

"those were good times, man those were better days"

but i gotta say

Change, now thats where its at

Aint it a shame baby, that we can never remember that

And all the blame (yea) comes harder than the facts

all this strain lately, well its breakin my back

And as sure as the sun will fall down

and the rivers rise and the mountains will drown

The silence will make a deafening sound

You can buy it by the yard or sell it by the pound

but i gotta see

Change well yea thats what lies ahead

This ol' train cant quite make it around the bend

Only the lonely can use another friend

And the same ol same ol aint welcomed back here again

As I lie awake in this dream-state

Tired of chasing time, Tired of wishing it all away

And i turn to face this brand new day

And i learn to embrace the only thing i can change

is me

Change, yea thats whats in the air

Yet we claim that we aint got the time to care

Its a deadly game called 'Blame It On Dispare'

And that same ol' same ol' aint welcome round here

So give me that change Yea thats where its at

Its a shame that we cant rememeber that

That dialy drain, yea i'm the walking dead

But i swear that i will rise again

The same ol same ol aint welcomed back here around again

I see right in front of me my history

I feel only what is real no mystery

I say let the truth be revealed for all to see

I say turn around and face new day new way

Hey Michael, Hey Theodore

(C Maiorano)

Remembering things we did, hell we were just kids

The best was yet to come, thinking back makes me feel numb

Why?

Broken homes made us family, we shared our drink merrily

Dealt with things our own way, were we really o.k. ?

Why?

(Chorus) Hey Michael, Hey Theodore

Why?

Laugh with the coming of age, misfortune set lifeâ€™s stage

Suffered alone with doom, and the voices inside of you

Why?

(Chorus) Hey Michael, Hey Theodore

Why?

(Bridge) We were friends, until the end, remember when

Now and then, we did offend, and make amends

A hand to lend, and to defend, all too often

I hope we spend, some time again, in the end.. (Oblivion)

I always think of the day, I hear myself say

Ones dream would end too soon, no not the both of you

Why?

(Chorus)
