Pale grey.. my blanket of birth... For what it’s worth
No one can say
Frozen hue.. bequeathed to me..
The powers that be
But what colors…

Hang Ups
mariano
We got our kinks, or something peculiar
I'm on the brink, you're feeding me lines
Stop and think, or call on your savior
Your weakest link, is tugging on mine
Fix me a drink, neat or its dirty
Ship starts to sink…
The Boogieman
tboudreau
I just might be hiding behind your bedroom door
you might find me lying under your bed, down on the floor
You swear you hear the creekin' coming up the stairs
you got your eye on the peep-hole and nobody's there…
Its Coming On
boudreau
Can't ya feel it start to unwind
Can't ya see it or am I just blind
Can ya hear it slippin' out of time
Do you fear it in the back of your mind
I can't shake it I feel it's shaking me
I try and break it right across…
we were asked for a Halloween tune, I wrote this but we felt it wasn't Halloweenie enough - so I re-wrote the lyrics to Jack O'Lantern - same tune, different lyrics - this was the original.
Ghost Train

Jack O’Lantern
(boudreau10/12/16)
Well that Jack O' Lantern he’s just an empty-headed soul
He’s got fire on his breath and his eyes are just couple of holes
And skin as tough as leather and that busted up smile
But soon to be forgotten…
Doing My Time
Lyrics T Boudreau
Music Jimmy T
I was off on my ways
Might even call me crazy
I said, 'Baby brother,
can you spare a dime?'
He said 'from one to another,
how long have you been doin' time?"
I was out on a break…
Narrow Bridge
Lyrics - T Boudreau, C Maiorano Music - Jimmy T
That old narrow bridge might get ya to the otherside
But the strength within you will push you far and wide
And the lessons learned are far greater than the ride
All those hours…
Four by Four World
Lyrics Boudreau
Music Jim Tramontano
Well i wont pretend to hide
i choose not to step outside
my four by four world
Cast all your thoughts aside
Dont question or criticize
My four by four world
i'm challenging you…
Cemetery Mary
tboudreau /cmaiorano
I went out creeping on a Halloween night
Looking for the scream of my life
Not a single soul was sleeping every spook was insight
Even half-dead were alive
There's a guilty moon hanging in the gallows…

First Lie
Chris Tune / Toms Lyrics
I heard you singing from the roof tops
saw you swinging in the trees
tripping on a cough drop
dealing your disease
I watched you watching from the washroom
heard you tumble down my stairs
passed out…

People are dying every day in the street
People are dying every day

Just for being people in the street
Peace, when's it coming, coming for the people in the street
Peace, you can sing it

in memory of ben keith
man of steel
heard your sound
as i roamed
in early days
of wonder

i've been under

waves of air

You say the world is too complicated
You say close your eyes forget it all
Nobody sold me a bridge in the desert
Nobody remembers with our eyes closed tight
You say somedays just a point of view
You say someones not much different

No explanations left to give apologies over
She wanted more than the story, but nobody told her
I hear the insane are hardly worth the medication
But she'd like the story just the same, for when she gets older
It's not the end…
RPM 2011
Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…
The story of a car crash.
Had the dream again this morning
Pictured just how it would be
Saw it moving in slow motion
Felt it rushing up to me
And suddenly it's happening
I can't seem to make myself believe
Clench my fists

My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.
A true story about some of my odd dreams
If the world's strongest man
Could hold the world in the palm of his hand
Would he crush us all into dust?
As a way to punish us
These are the kind of things
That seem to occupy me
If a giant…

This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…
This was one of my first compositions ever (I started writing songs in 2004/2005). I don't have the original audio seps any more, just this MP3 file, so I cannot do a decent remix. And I'm too lazy to re-do it all from scratch. :)

I do a lot of walkin' so I find a lot of stuff
I fill my pockets up with bolts and nuts
Once upon a while I find a diamond in the ruff
But mostly dimes and nickels in the ruts…
