Literally hot off the press, this is how my life is going right now.

I used to work in an office.
White collar job just the same.
Order this and order that.
Put the Devil to shame.
Then one day the boss man
Asked me to change…
This is another song originally written in a country music vein, but through the 12 step process it's been reformed. The lyrics came from a night at a bar where I noticed a young woman who was trying too hard to have fun. She looked much too…
This song comes from comparing my behavior to that of my children. And I have found out that history does indeed repeat itself.
Thanks for stopping by to listen. I'll post the lyrics as soon as I find them.

Yeah I feel ya! A great compilation of sounds. Diggin' your breakdown. Very interesting and original techniques being employed here! Groovy as hell! Rock on!
I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…
That guitar really caught me. I like the break into acoustic too.

I feel your pain, I grew up with Country Music. After years of professional help, I'm almost healed.

Sam did a great job on this song. Both the lead and backing vocals are hers. The song could use a little editing, but I thought you'd all like to hear it anyway.
Enjoy.

As you can see, I sometimes duplicate titles with different lyrics and musical styles. This one just popped into my head one day and wouldn't leave until I wrote it down.

Thank God!... Something up-beat. One of my colleagues has THE party of the year on Labor Day weekend every year, and I play around the bonfire from dusk until everyone is unconscious... and the ladies like to dance.
I've been listening to several of your songs, and I very much like what I've been hearing. You play and sing very well. Will be back to listen to more later.

"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
Paper Girls is one of those tracks which I wrote based on my experiences that I hope others can relate to in their own way. Soft, breathy vocals courtesy of Anezka Piska.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.
A song for/about Charles Manson.

You need another needle and indeed you needed Beatles to realise
Speaking on the record
Backwards just to you
First the curses then perverted verses…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
I like this one. The slow rock beat and the guitar sound on the solos tells me you were getting out some anger or strong feelings when you did this.
ER
Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
Beware all ye who enter here. This song's a stern warning that being the front man of a band is not what it's cracked up to be. Consider yourself warned.
An obvious reference to the classic movie, "Blues Brothers" (which takes place in Chicago -- where we're from), this song tells the cliched story of the band that reunites after years away from each other thanks to "creative differences", "growing…
This is us tempting fate. Jumping the shark refers to a defining moment on the TV show "Happy Days" when Fonzie literally jumps over a shark on waterskis -- all while wearing his leather jacket. Everyone watching immediately knew the show would…

Woo... like this one a lot, straight from the off. There's some fab guitar going on. Love the solo.
I love this track! ER ~ I have to say, this for me is the best think you've ever done! Excellent! w;-)
Dig the organ line, ER! w;-)
Nice song and arrangement:)
Cool song, slamming guitar riffs!
Really like this one! Wish I could play the keys like that!

Great song, and I love the feel to this... LG
Love those guitars and that groove.
Love the guitars and arrangement. Big and inventive sounds. And some mean leads in the instrumental.
I can relate. In fact I can relate RIGHT NOW.
Sweetness. I hope she loved it. :)
Like how this one skips along. And I love the sentiments :)
Great piano line! w;-)
Ooo this resonates big time with me... lol Nice one
Love the keyboard pitch-bending and blending of styles. Cool stuffs!
Really nice melody here Terry with catchy chorus. Lovely stuff!
Having problems getting my comment through! Great philosophy, my friend.
Still absolutely love this!

Very nice. Your guitar work is excellent. Love the chords.
Another very good song. Nice vocals, too. I like the slow yet steady beat. ER
I like this too. I like the melody and the vocal work most of all. ER
I like the vocals on this, including some of the reverb and echo effects. Using an accoustic guitar for this was a good choice. ER
I like this. Sounds good. I like the beat and the lyrics. ER
I don't need much encouragement to sound intoxicated. Oh, wait, I usually am! The band sounds good, and so do you. ER
So is your nickname "Spuds"? Very funny song, sir. I admire your courage to do this acapella. ER
Don't know about blaming Bethan for anything, but I liked the intro. Is this a kind of Hokey Pokey in 3/4 time? Love the lyrics. Well done. ER
My boss thinks he's a donkey jockey. He's always riding my . . . ahem, this is a family site. Sorry. Nice song, though. ER
And a man doesn't just cook, he barbecues! He's a gourmet, right? ER
Love those harmonies. This reminds me of very early BeeGees music. ER
The "ShooBeDoBa" at the beginning gave me a start, but I like the song overall. Nice harmonies. ER
I like this one. The slow rock beat and the guitar sound on the solos tells me you were getting out some anger or strong feelings when you did this. ER
I think the lyrics work fine with this, amigo. ER
Nice light little tune you have here, Gumbo. Liked it a lot. ER
I have enjoyed all of the songs I've heard from your band since I bought the Cheapass Album. Keep rockin', boys, and you'll never go wrong. ER
I've heard this so often that it's part of my subconscious. But I never expected my wife to say that. LOL ER
Love the melody on this. Another song from you guys that I love. ER
How many favorite bands have we thought this about? I hope that never happens to me. Lyrically, you hit this nail on the head. ER
