Where I Am
03:51
|
|||
(James Hall, Tarl Knight)
Where you are, I have been
Where I am, you will one day be
Of all the criminals who wait in cages
Planning with precision perfect crimes
You may become folk heroes for the ages
You can rob the riches, but you’ll never steal back time
Where you are, I have been
Where I am, you will one day be
Where you are, I have been
Where I am, you will one day be
With all the things that you can buy with money
You can never touch the greatest wealth
And while outside these walls it’s warm and sunny
I’ll walk within the freedoms of my cell
Where you are, I have been
Where I am, you will one day be
Where you are, I have been
Where I am, you will one day be
The people isolated in their suffering
Trapped within the scripts of all their shame
The cultures and the colors all look different
Until they see our suff’ring as the same
Where you are, I have been
Where I am, you will one day be
Where you are, I have been
Where I am, you will one day be
When you are, where I am
Take my hand, we can all walk free
Where you are, I have been
Where I am, you will one day

Purrr...
03:05
|
|||
(David Woods, James Hall, Wade Coisman)
You are my true love
You are my one and only
You just a rude girl
Feral and always horny
Our tails, they form, a heart
I saw those green eyes
Out on that high fence
Flash me that fine fur
It gets so intense
That it’s tearing, me, apart
You are my main course
You look a hot mess
I like your pink tongue
You make me scratch and hiss
Wanna stay, in the street, ‘til dawn
High in the green grass
We have our sanctuary
Thank you and god bless
This is our territory
And it ain’t, what I need, it’s what I want
Did you forget the way we used to play?
So late after sun down?
We got nine lives to keep us safe
From the dogs that run this town
You are my sweet cream
Just like from back home
White rats and wet dreams
Tin cans and fish bones
Anything, that you want, I’m down
You keep your coat clean
You make my heart purr
Just like that snow queen
Whip smart in white fur
You’re the pride, of this side, of town
You’re the pride, of this side
Whooh oooh

Bomb The Bridge
03:12
|
|||
(Adria Ramos, James Hall, Dan O Stoffels, Matt Spatol)
Bomb the bridge, it looks like crap
We should sell the steel for scrap, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Don’t give a sh-- what people say
There’s a better bridge a block away, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Bomb the bridge, take it apart
Send it to China to make shopping carts for Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart
Well, it’s just one bomb
And that bridge is gone
There’ll be nothing more to argue about
And it’s just one bomb
And this whole deal’s done
Now, it’s up to us to take it out
Bomb the bridge, just let it go
Future generations won’t even know, whoa oh oh
Oh, oh, oh
These bridge people, they got no clue
Out with the old, in with the new, woo hoo hoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Well, it’s just one bomb
And that bridge is gone
There’ll be nothing more to argue about
And it’s just one bomb
And this whole deal’s done
Now, it’s up to us to take it out
Bomb the bridge, if you’re my friend
We’ll make America great again
Bomb the bridge, if you’re my friend
We’ll make America great again
Celebrate, it’s only steel and stone
Celebrate, it’s only steel and stone
Well, it’s just one bomb

Gotta get across, now
Carry that cross, now
Gotta carry that cross to the other side
Gotta keep dry, now
Gotta keep dry, now
Gotta keep dry, when the waters rise
Move it on high now
Move it on high now
Move it on high, when the waters rise
You gotta move it on high, when the waters rise
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
You gotta keep faithful
You gotta keep faithful
You gotta have faith in a higher plan
You gotta hear the music
You gotta feel the music
You gotta feel the muse, let it flow on through
You gotta feel the muse, let it flow on through
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked
The preacher man says that the Jesus gonna see you naked

(Claire Kelly, James Hall, Lantz Lazwell)
At the end of the day
You’re running on fumes
And burning your bridges to keep warm.
You’ve lost your way
And all of your friends
But never you mind
The coming storm.
We can talk about the good things
For they always make you smile
Through the heartache and pain
The thunder and the rain
We can talk about the good things.
When it’s cold and it’s dark
And the memories fade
You’re aching for someone to shine a light.
So you play your part
Out on that stage
Cause even when it’s wrong,
It’s still all right.
When we talk about the good things
They always make you smile
Through the heartache and pain
The thunder and the rain
We can talk about the good things
We can talk about the good things
Baby, hold on tight
‘Til the sun
Starts to rise
When you feel the light
Then your heart can find
A way to shine,
A way to shine.
When we talk about the good things
They always make you smile
Through the heartache and pain
The thunder and the rain
We can talk all about the good things.
We can talk all about the good things.
We can talk all about

Love's On Trial
03:07
|
|||
(Greg Roteik, James Hall, Nick Hoover, Matt Spatol, Troy Therrien)
Somebody told me, that justice was blind
I turned around, and said, “Man, you must be outta your mind,”
They got corruption, in this bitch, and these cops that are fake,
Johns that acquitted and judges on the take,
I got five girls workin’ in ten cars every night,
They’ll be callin’ me for favors, when they money’s gettin’ tight,
I’m trying to make it out this business
Then the D.A. pulled my file
Oooh, love’s on trial,
Oooh, there ain’t no denial,
Oooh, when love’s on trial,
Betta get another daddy,
They got me gone away for a while.
Well, it’s Friday night, and they got me in the clink
With so much noise, I can’t even hear myself think,
It ain’t like I’m complaining, it ain’t like I’m in hell,
But I’ll be calling my attorney, to come and get me outta jail,
I got this domestic disturbance – it was a trumped up charge,
I got all this litigation, while I’m tryin’ to live large,
I gotta make it out the county,
Before these people cramp my style.
Oooh, love’s on trial,
Oooh, there ain’t no denial,
Oooh, when love’s on trial,
Betta getcha another daddy,
They got me gone away for a while.
Oooh, love’s on trial,
Oooh, there ain’t no denial,
Oooh, when love’s on trial,
Betta get another daddy,
They got me gone away for a while.
Betta get another daddy,
They got me gone away for a while.

No Answer
03:59
|

(James Hall, Liam Hall, Kate Vargas)
As a witness
To both sides
I been called in
To testify
Now my demon
Walks a lonely mile
And I’m dreamin’
I’m the one on trial
Wave your flags and pray for peace
Send your soldiers overseas
Ask your questions to the breeze
You’ll get
No answer
You’ll get
No answer
From me
When you wake up
She’ll be gone
Cry your teardrops
In the dawn
Take her picture
Off the wall
‘Cause she won’t be back
No, she won’t be back, no
Bow your head on bended knee
Save your deepest sympathies
Ask your questions to the breeze
You’ll get
No answer
You’ll get
No answer
From me
Bow your head on bended knee
Save your deepest sympathies
Ask your questions to the breeze
You’ll get
No answer
You’ll get
No answer
You’ll get
No answer
From me

She's So Nautical
02:17
|
|||
(Chris Bishop, James Hall, Liv Mueller, Lumberjack Cash)
She dresses up in white and blue
Captain’s wheel and anchors, too
Haircut short like a pixie sprite…
Drink like a sailor, every night
She’s so nautical… erotikal
Oh oh oh
She’s so nautical… erotikal
Oh oh oh
She swab my deck with soap and mop
And down below, she keep it cropped
She like a serpent, inked in blue
I wanna kiss that rose tattoo
She’s so nautical… erotikal…
Oh oh oh
She’s so nautical… erotical
Oh oh oh
High-waist shorts, peroxide hair
Halter top, and sailor’s flares
Tied to the mast, she knows her knots,
And when it’s warm, it’s sans culottes
She’s… so… nautical…
She’s… so… nautical…
She’s… so… nautical…
She’s… so… nautical…
She’s so nautical.

The Devil Beats His Wife

THE DEVIL BEATS HIS WIFE
Mark Dannells, James Hall
Show me a god worth killing for
And i'll bow down and kiss the floor
If you let all the others find their way
A love like mine deserves a sign
A faith like mine is hard to find
I can see the sunlight through the grey
Oh the Devil beats his wife
And Judas sets the price
As the King deserts his crown
And the cool, cool rain comes down.
Tell me when it's killing time
The moon is full, let's drink the wine
Meet me in the morning with a smile
You tell me to make sacrifice
Stretch me out and draw your knife
I cry out from the mountains 'cross the miles
Oh the Devil beats his wife
And Judas sets the price
As the King deserts his crown
And the news spreads over town
And the cool, cool rain comes down.
Better turn your face and hands
As the fires sweep the land
'cross the rivers and the sands
This is no time to make demands
For your children and your friends
Leaving ashes where they stand
There are no bargains in the end
Only anger in the wind

Darlene
03:32
|
|||
Carley Baer, James Hall, Vincent Gates
After sifting through the wreckage
I gaze on this shameful scene
I began to get the message
It’s all on account a Dahlene
Dahlene do you feel remorse
Dahlene we got all off course
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce Dahlene
I remember when we met up
And the day I fell under that spell
Took me seven years to wake up
And walk from a match made in hell
Dahlene do you feel remorse
Dahlene we got all off course
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce Dahlene
Oh, the deacon tried to warn us
Not to rush in too fast
You’re far too young for marriage
And the love that you feel won’t last
Dahlene do you feel remorse
Dahlene we got all off course
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce Dahlene
Oh the love could not be hotter
Than a night with a Cajun queen
Well I asked her once for water
And she poured me a glass of kerosene
Dahlene do you feel remorse
Dahlene we got all off course
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce
Gotta million dollar wedding and a dollar divorce Dahlene, Dahlene, Dahlene, Dahlene

Throwing Shadow
02:58
|
|||
James Hall, John Hvezda, Morgan Rae, Wade Coisman
Tell me that you want it
I got it let me flaunt it
I’m the queen bee in your bonnet
When you got it don’t look haunted
Throwin’ shadows
I’m throwin’ shadows
Well you know it ain’t romantic
When you call me in a panic
You get desperate you get frantic
I be comin’ with your Zanax
Throwin’ shadows
I’m throwin’ shadows
Throwin’ shadows, wherever I go
Throwin’ shade, throwin’ shade
Throwin’ shadows, wherever I go
Throwin’ shade, throwin’ shade
If you do it like I told you
You could walk it like a soldier
Then I wouldn’t have to scold you
‘Cause your mama’s back in Georgia
Throwin’ shadows
She throwin’ shadows
See, I’m getting’ the impression
That you want to put my dress on
You can take it to confession
But you know that my religion’s
Throwin’ shadows
It’s throwin’ shadows
Throwin’ shadows, wherever I go
Throwin’ shade, throwin’ shade
Throwin’ shadows, wherever I go
Throwin’ shade, throwin’ shade
Throwin’ shadows, wherever I go
Throwin’ shade, throwin’ shade
Throwin’ shadows, wherever I go
Throwin’ shade, throwin’ shade
I’m throwin’ shade

Love Reigns Supreme
03:28
|
|||
Anna Jo, James Hall, Ruby James
She seeks the purest truth
Through the folly of youth
Where no love can be found
She lives for happiness
Dresses up her best
When nobody’s around
In her home
All her dreams are now her own
The future’s yet unknown
See her eyes, she don’t cry no more
We are love, we are diamonds
We are riches of the soul
Calling out the corners
Turning heart aches into gold
We are dancing in the fires
Chasing spirits in our dreams
In a world of no solution
Love reigns supreme
Scars earned across the years
On the back of tears
This is not who you are
Fate’s spinning out her thread
Another dream in your head
That you pulled from the stars
And it’s true
All the rest is up to you
There’s a time when you must choose
Dry your eyes, let the light shine through
We are love, we are diamonds
We are riches of the soul
Calling out the corners
Turning heart aches into gold
We are dancing in the fires
Chasing spirits in our dreams
In a world of no solution
Love, love reigns supreme

Adam Flaig, James Hall, Matt Spatol
When I look at all the things I done,
In the stark light of the sun
And I think about the hurt I caused,
And the friendships lost and won,
I gaze into the mirror,
And each memory gets clearer
Every promise every threat
I remember with regret,
Wish I thought of that first.
Wish I thought of that first
Cos when the pain gets at its worst
And I feel like I been cursed
I wish I thought of that first.
I walk alone with my choices known
And the shadows that they cast.
Tell myself I should turn around,
But I can’t outrun my past.
Never did what mama said
Took my own road here, instead,
Every good thing I just tossed,
But it came at such a cost –
Wish I thought of that first
I wish I thought of that first,
Every heartache set to verse
Every missed take well rehearsed,
Wish I thought of that first.
With peace, at the end,
There’s no way to pretend,
That a lover, god or friend
Could show me out.

All We Got Is Each Other
02:56
|
|||
James Hall, Victoria Vox
Baby if I lost my way
Tell me would you stay and understand
Do you, do you feel me in your soul
You’re the only one who knows me as I am
And love will command
All we got is each other
All we got is each other
In a world gone mad you do what you can
To hang on on on on on
Hold on, after all that we’ve been through
We can always wake up to a brand new day
I know, it seems easy to let go
But you’ve got my hand to hold when skies are grey
Come on, keep the faith
All we got is each other
All we got is each other
In a world gone mad you do what you can
To hang on on on on on
In the gridlock of our minds
Beyond the grey and blue
The sun is shining through
