Open up your bag of tricks

Orphans were asked to contribute a track to a new 'Halloween Compilation' - released by Whiplash Records - this is our cover of the Coops 'Dwight Fry' - Hope you enjoy!
Higher Spirit (The Only One)
boudreau
There’s a higher spirit
Nothing comes near it
I do declare it’s quite a ride
And the heart will chase it
Egos embrace it
You can’t erase it from your life
And when ya can’t escape the rain clouds…
Outta Sight
boudreau
Flip topping, cherry popping
Never stopping to look inside
Wearin’, tearin’ with power steering
And I’m veering off into the night
I disappear outta sight
Short days in so many ways
I’m amazed I’m not sleeping…
to build a fire
lyrics - boudreau
Music - maiorano/boudreau
to build a fire
there's never a plan
just pure desire
and circumstance
touch two wires
leave spark to chance
she's reaching higher
sit back and watch her dance
she said…

Was lit up like a caution flare

This is a song I wrote that actually came true. I wrote it several years ago. The girl I wrote it about I had not seen in nearly 20 years. I just wrote the song as a 'what if"... A short time after I first posted it, I was suddenly emailed after…
In October back in 2010, Holdempok and myself had a little jam session in his garage. After the cops had come and left....LOL, we settled down and Mike said, let's jam some blues.....
What came out was this! First take on a blues thingy .... just…
Did the world really need a cheesy, spaghetti western version of this classic Eagles song? I'm not sure. Did I make one anyway? Yes. Yes, I did. By the way the painting is "Villa Diablo" by Downe Burns.

this is one for the over fifties
we strolled along
lost avenues
with no regrets
and nonchalance
who's kidding who
so confident
so bold and full
of bravado

we knew it all
with certainty
you couldn't tell
cos we couldn't hear…

just like oil and water

A nasty little story wrapped in a very short country song.
When I took your tiny hand it struck me cold
And I though cool hands warm hands warm heart is what I've been
But I know that wasn't
When It came to one like you
So I signed that…
Self-consciously pet-soundsy guitar solo, a teen angsty lyric and an cappella ending and. Who say's I listen to too much Beach-Boys?
Why don't we walk away while we still have the chance
Why do we dance
with blood upon our hands
Messy…

This never turned out like I wanted it to be because I could not find a real drummer and bassist for it. But at least Alina was kind enough to play the lead guitar…
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.

Like drinking a beer in front of a campfire.
Fast paced, no lyrics needed.
Clever title! Can't agree with the political message, but it's such a catchy tune.
Great feel good vibe with somber lyrics.
Gritty feel, another shot please bartender!
Love the backwoods feel. Craving the Moonshine.
Excellent!!! I'm clutching my pearls and tapping my foot at the same time.
