Every Song Needs A Chorus

Sybaris - Every Song Needs A Chorus

Building a song needs a thought
Or a feel about something to reveal
You will certainly need some drums
To come - to come - to keep the beat

It doesn’t even have to rhyme
At least not on words like “sign,” “time” or even worse “rhyme”
You’ll surely need a bass
Some strings and a bit of a piano

And not to forget
Every song needs a chorus
Otherwise it’ll bore us
And no one would remember
Not even on a cold December evening

When you’re done with the song
The lyrics, the instruments - you gotta mix it down
Pan some things left, some right
Some centered and the EQ turns ‘em bright

And some songs have a solo…

And not to forget
Every song needs a chorus
Otherwise it’ll bore us
And no one would remember
Not even on a cold December evening

(This is the bridge)
A song is like life
Like a universe in a box
(This is the bridge)
Every line is a pic of you
But the chords ain’t the same
(This is the bridge)
Whatever you make of it
You’re composing your song all new
But you always return
To the point where it all began

And not to forget
Every song needs a chorus
Otherwise it’ll bore us
And no one would remember
Not even on a cold December evening

And every song needs an end

El Paso

Felix McTiegue - El Paso

The outskirts of El Paso are burning in the night
Like pinholes punched in paper and held up to the light
I’m dying to forget you, I roll the window down
Think about a cigarette and recognize the sound

Of the first few bars
Of ‘Blue Eyes Cryin’ In The Rain’
On the radio

Flashback to the summer of nineteen ninety-nine
You were off to school and I was killing time
We’d sit up on the front porch, you were playing, I would sing
We bought ‘Willie Nelson’s Greatest Hits’ and learned the whole damn thing

We would pick and grin
To ‘Blue Eyes Cryin’ In The Rain’
As the sun hung low
You’ll never know
How much you mean to me

Van Halen’s on the radio - the old stuff ‘Diver Down’
Right before David left and Sammy came around
I listen to it three times fade across New Mexico
When I hit eject it turns on the radio

I hear the first few bars
Of ‘Blue Eyes Cryin’ In The Rain’
On the radio
You’ll never know
How much you mean to me

I’ve since left New York City, I’m staying in L.A.
With each new vice that I pick up, you still don’t go away
Driving drunk down Fairfax with a sunburn on one arm
I recognize the sound coming through the car alarms

I hear the first few bars
Of ‘Blue Eyes Cryin’ In The Rain’
On the radio
You’ll never know
How much you mean to me

Tractor Guy

Hrududu Factory Tractor Guy

The funny man with the tractor isn’t afraid
He’s a master of his trade
Digging the holes to make me smile
And I break your heart by telling lies
To the tractor guy
As he destroys your little home
He goes huh
He goes huh
Huh and huh
He goes huh

The funny man with the tractor has got no name
He’s the one they call insane
Digging up trees all over town
And I break your heart by selling lies
With the tractor guy
Making you move to far off lands
He goes huh
He goes huh
And huh
He goes huh
Huh and huh
He goes huh

I can’t be your best friend anymore
I can’t be your best friend anymore
I can’t be your best friend anymore
I can’t be your best friend anymore
I can’t be your best friend anymore - anymore

He goes huh, etc.

It was a beautiful car

M Ward - Beautiful Car

I was washing antique cars
Working part-time for my dad after school
When I got the go ahead
To pick a car and spin around the neighborhood
It was a baby blue ‘52 Roadstar
It was a beautiful car

That was the night I heard of the fighting
And the murder of the Schoolmaster’s son
Last year I asked him who he was afraid of
And he answered: Everyone
Well, did I even flinch a wrist?
Should I have tried to undo what had been done
That’s just the way it’s gotta be
I should never have to worry myself none
It was a baby blue ‘52 Roadstar
It was a beautiful car

Palmcorder Yajna

The Mountain Goats - Palmcorder Yajna

Holt Boulevard
Between Gary and White
Hooked up with some friends at the Travelodge
Set ourselves up for the night

Carpenter ants in the dresser
Flies in the screen
It will be too late by the time we learn
What these cryptic symbols mean

And I dreamt of a house
Haunted by all you tweakers with your hands out
And the headstones climbed up the hills
And the headstones climbed up the hills

Send somebody out for soda
Comb through the carpet for clues
Reflective tape on our sweatpants
Big holes in our shoes
Every couple minutes
Someone says he can’t stand it anymore
Laugh lines on our faces
Scale maps of the ocean floor

And I dreamt of a camera
Pointing out from inside the television
And the aperture yawning and blinking
And the headstones climbed up the hills

If anybody comes to see me
Tell ‘em they just missed me by a minute
If anybody comes in to our room while we’re asleep
I hope they incinerate everybody in it

And I dreamt of a factory
Where they manufactured what I needed
Using shiny new machines
And the headstones climbed up the hills

Crazy Molly could not be alone

The Neat Stripes - Molly

Crazy Molly could not be alone
If no one was with her she’d pick up the phone
Except for the time when the lines went down
Poor Molly smashed the phone on the ground and she cried
Ah, but she was alright

When Molly went out on the town
She always thought she’d feel better with people around
And sometimes someone would talk to her
But they’d always act more rushed than they were or they’d stare
She didn’t seem to care

She might not have heard what you said
(But) You cross her and she’ll curse you ‘til your face is red

Her daddy had no way to know
He always thought it was something that she would outgrow
But Molly was crazy into her bones
And he couldn’t afford to put her in a home, so he split
Molly barely noticed

One day Molly went to the priest
She felt she had demons she needed released
But the padre could see right through her dress
And when it was done they both had to confess they were glad
It was the best they’d had

She might not have heard what you said
(But) You cross her and she’ll curse you ‘til your face is red

Wishing Well

Boogaboo - Wishing Well

If I found me a wishing well
In the middle of a meadow green
I would throw all my money in, to be…
A little closer to my dream

If I found me a four leaf clover
In the middle of that meadow green
I would look it over and over to see…
Where could my true love be

Oh, you make me so happy
You make me feel brand new
I just wanna spend my life, in love, with you

If I found me a silly penny
Shining brightly in the rain
I would pick it up and pray…
I could see you once again

‘Cause you make me so happy
You make me feel brand new
I just wanna spend my life, in love, with you

‘Cause you make me so happy
You make me feel brand new
I just wanna spend my life, in love, with you

Bullet holes

Scarling - Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole

Bees in the caramel and I’m not afraid
Surgeons make incisions - what a mess they’ve made
Tearing at my skin, leaving knives in my brain
Stabbing at the voices driving me insane

Girls vomit candy and lies that they’re fed
Boys whisper lullabies and wet their beds
Eat TV violence on the toast that they spread
Talking with their mouths full - here is what they’ve said:

Say hello to my little friend
The world is getting ugly and we did it again
Say hello to my little friend
The world is getting ugly and we did it again
Oh -oh - woah oh - oh - ohhh
The Band Aid only covers the bullet hole
Oh - oh - woah oh - oh - ohhh
The Band Aid only covers the bullet hole

La la la - La la la la la la

Spiders in my hair and guns on my mind
Thinking about the people who’ve been so unkind
If looks could kill them I might make myself blind
Startled at the reasons that I just can’t find

Kids break the dishes - they crash on the floor
Parents hate the noise and shove them out the door
Robots and robotics - I remember their thoughts
It gets them all excited - here is what they’ve said

Say hello to my little friend
The world is getting ugly and we did it again
Say hello to my little friend
The world is getting ugly and we did it again
Oh - oh - woah oh - oh - ohhh
The Band Aid only covers the bullet hole
Oh - oh - woah oh - oh - ohhh
The Band Aid only covers the bullet hole
Oh - oh - woah oh - oh - ohhh
The Band Aid only covers the bullet hole

This is about the girl

Birddog - Lighthouse

This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She was just a kid and wanted me to play with her
But I said that I was reading
And I said that I was tired
And I said that I had work to do
She handed me a shovel

This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She was just a kid that pulled on the beach towel
And she said she had no sisters
And she said she had no brothers
I said she was lucky
She picked up a dead fish

This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She sat next to me and built a lump of sand
She said it was a castle
She said that we could live there
I said I had my own house
She said she’d burn it down
And she said she’d burn it down

This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She asked me if we could go and get some ice cream
Said I wasn’t hungry
But I gave her a dollar
She wrapped it very tightly
She bounced it off my forehead

And this is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She jumped up to me ‘cause she heard someone hollering
Said it was her mother
And supper’s on the table
She said she hated meatloaf
She left me by myself
She left me by myself

Pop Goes The World

Barcelona - Pop Goes The World

Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass
The name of the band is the human race
Everybody tell me have you heard
Pop goes the world

Jenny played keyboard, Johnny played drums
Called little baby and a big bonhomme
Everybody tell me have you heard
Pop goes the world
It goes something like this

Johnny and Jenny had a crazy dream
See their pictures in a magazine
Every little boy needs a girl
Pop goes the world

Jenny and Johnny getting smart it seems
Made more money on a movie screen
Every little nest needs a bird
Pop goes the world

One two three and four is five
Everybody here is a friend of mine
Whatever happened to the Duke of Earl
Pop goes the world

Six seven eight and nine is ten
Send Al Gunn to see the doctor Ben
Say what planet are we on - the third
Pop goes the world

And every time I wonder where the world went wrong
End up lying on my face going ringy dingy ding dong
And every time I wonder if the world is right
End up in some disco dancing all night

Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass
The name of the band is the human race
Everybody tell me have you heard
Pop goes the world

Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass
Ain’t nobody couldn’t take their place
Everybody tell me have you heard
Pop goes the world
Pop goes the world
Pop goes the world
It goes something like this

Walking With The Angels

Entry Level - Walking With The Angels

I wrote this song for you
I never got to say goodbye
I couldn’t say I love you
Now you’ve risen into the light
I could never think of you
As anything but strong and true
You used to sing songs about
Seattle’s skies of blue
Now your laughter and your wise words are what strengthen me
Pain tried to chain you but God released you and set you free
And I know that you’re walking with the angels
Walking with the angels

So I’ll remember and I’ll cherish all those memories
Summers spent down at the park
Trips downtown - fun was never too far
And I know I won’t forget you now
No, forget you now
You’ll live on in my heart
For now and all time surely we’ll meet again
I just can’t say when but I know in the end
Is that I’ll find you walking with the angels
Walking with the angels
Now you’re an angel

Stone In My Shoe

Sybaris - Stone In My Shoe

All of a sudden I just went away from you
It occurred to me one day
There was a feeling there was something left to do
Throughout the years

On my way I met a friend
Telling stories about you
He told me that you were not waiting in the rain
You’d got a lot of things to do

And it’s nonsense to believe
We could steer the course of love
‘Cause love is like November snow
When it comes nobody knows

I feel your breath in my back
As if it was a word from you
From my head to my heart
You are the stone in my shoe

Where I stay and where I go
On the moon or in the sea
In every thought, every deed, every day
I feel your breath in my back

And it’s nonsense to believe
We could steer the course of love
‘Cause love is like November snow
When it comes nobody knows

I feel your breath in my back
As if it was a word from you
From my head to my heart
You are the stone in my shoe

I feel your breath in my back
As if it was a word from you
From my head to my heart
You are the stone in my shoe

Camera One

The Josh Joplin Group - Camera One

The sandy haired son of Hollywood
Lost his faith in all that’s good
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
Hung his clothes on the shower rod
But he never got undressed
And, no, he never made a mess

It’s funny how life turns out
The odds of faith in the face of doubt
Camera One closes in
The soundtrack starts
The scene begins

You’re playing you now
You’re playing you now
You’re playing you now
You’re playing you now
You’re playing you now
Take a bow
Take a bow

The trophy wife from Palisades
Whose Yearbook beauty never fades
Sits and watches the sea fold in
And wonders what might have been
If she could ever have the chance
Would she do it all again

It’s funny how life turns out
The odds of faith in the face of doubt
Camera One closes in
The soundtrack starts
The scene begins

You’re playing you now
You’re playing you now
You’re playing you now
You’re playing you now
You’re playing you now
Take a bow
Take a bow

On the corner by his streets
He sits in his lawn chair in the heat
Sightseers see what they want
They’re selling Star-maps to the sun

The sandy haired son of Hollywood
Lost his faith in all that’s good
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
Hung his clothes on the shower rod
But he didn’t get undressed
And, no, he didn’t seem depressed

The odds of faith in the face of doubt
Camera One closes in

Old Fashioned Way Of Speaking

TW Walsh - Old Fashioned Way Of Speaking

Old fashioned way of speaking
All the pipes are leaking
If you notice it
This dent is now a crater
It’s not even any later
Than I think it is

A fortune worth repeating
All this cowardice is fleeting
If you fall for it
I saw orange turn to brown
The transformation made a sound
You might have heard it before

If it was permanent
The world would mean a whole lot less
To stay away for it
Takes more steam than I have left

The traitor for a living
Just got tired of the giving
In the Parliament
Enamored with the treason
That’s not any kinda reason
To go through with it

The car is overheating
The written word will lose its meaning
If you fall for it
There are motors in the ground
They make the most amazing sound
You might have heard it before

If it was permanent
The world would mean a whole lot less
To stay away for it
Takes more steam than I have left

If I burn the witch and roll the stone for you
Do you think you might do that, too
Are you coming through

And when the colored lights start flashing loud
I want to look right at a face I know
I wanna say: hey, did you see that one, baby
Are you ready to go home

Yeah, let’s cut it right down to the bone
If I burn the witch and roll the stone for you
Do you think you might do that, too
Are you coming through, yeah

Yes, I need a girl who knows how to wear a black jacket

Me and the Bees

The Softies - Me And The Bees

Take it downstairs
No one here cares
Take it outside
Find some place good to hide
Now it’s just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves

Go for a ride
The road opens wide
Nobody knows
These trials and woes
Now it’s just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves

Caught in the wind
Coldest I’ve ever been
Too bad it’s true
I’m still in love with you
Now it’s just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves

Are 'Friends' Electric?

Jessica's Crime - Are Friends Electric?

It’s cold outside and -
And the paint’s peeling off of my walls
There’s a man outside
In a long coat, gray hat, smoking a cigarette

And the light fades out
And I wonder what I’m doing in a room like this
There’s a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So, now I’m alone and I can think for myself
About little deals, SU’s and things I just don’t understand
Like a white lie that night or a sly touch at times
I don’t think it meant anything to you

So I open the door
It’s the ‘friend’ that I left in the hallway
“Please sit down”
A candlelit shadow on the wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask
But are friends electric ?
Only mine’s broken down
And now I’ve no one to love

So, I found out your reason for the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts, and I’m lonely and I should never have tried
But I miss you tonight so it’s time to leave
Can’t you see it’s meant everything to me

Next: The Softies.

Shutterbug

Arlo - Shutterbug

I hear the click clack click of the camera eye
Bent by the rays of the summer sun
Fall sick and quietly
Drown in the cracks, in the cracks of her windshield
There is a wind that blows through the window
Slip, fall down and bump my little head
But there is no sympathy

Shutterbug, you are the end, you are the writing on the wall

I hung around with you in your bedroom
Counting all your fingers and your toes
To pose for photographs
Keeping the time with the flicks of your fingers
We fell asleep too tired to remember
All the things we did that afternoon
To make my summer head
Float like a bug on the skin of the water


Shutterbug, I could not wait to get my fingers on you
Shutterbug, you are the end, you are the writing on the wall

Shutterbug, you are the end, you are the writing on the wall

Tech Romance

Her Space Holiday - Tech Romance

I’m sick of seeing you cry
And wasting all your time
On someone who will never care enough
To make you feel loved
To make you feel safe
I would drop my life to take his place
To show you just how good
Being touched could be
Commit these words to memory

For when you find yourself
Pinned in his demands
I am still an option that you have
So carry me around
Like a picture in your purse
And pull me out when things are at their worst
You can show up at my house
Completely unannounced
We’ll have that movie kiss we talked about
Where there are no words
Just a soft and gentle score
Our ears will ring from all the strings

We’ll let the screen go black
And watch the credits run
And see the names of everyone
Who we ever met
And who we ever missed
Each one had a role in this

It’s just another film that won’t get made

I’m sick of seeing you cry

If I can just hold on tonight
I know that nothing - nothing survives
Nothing survives

I think I’m turned around
I’m looking up, not looking down
And when I’m standing still
Watching you run - watching you fall
Fall into me

Am I making something worthwhile out of this place
Am I making something worthwhile out of this chase
I am displaced
I am displaced

And she’s my friend of all friends
She’s still here when everyone’s gone
She doesn’t have to say a thing
We’ll just keep laughing all night long
All night long

Am I making something worthwhile out of this place
Am I making something worthwhile out of this chase
I am displaced
I am displaced

I can still hear it all of the time
If I can just hold on tonight
I know that no one - no one survives
No one survives

Feet First

Track Star - Feet First

Here comes the hardest part
But I don’t need you I can break my own heart
And I know to expect the worst
So when it falls apart I’m gonna land on my feet first

There goes your only friend
If it don’t work out you can always start again
But you know to expect the worst
So if it don’t work out you’re gonna land on your feet first

And so we’re strangers again after all we’ve been through
As only strangers would act the way I act with you
After all that I’ve tried to forget that I’ve said
It’s all the strangers in my life that make me regret

I don’t wanna fight ‘cause I know what’s right
You don’t have to drown in an ocean to die
I don’t wanna fight ‘cause I know what’s right
You don’t have to drown in an ocean to die

Blackout Curtain

Now It's Overhead - Blackout Curtain

Black out curtain stop the sun from melting sleep
Wake up in the dark and don’t know what time it is
Lay bodies down beside where dark reveals a truth
Through dreams of a brighter room where a sun can live
A gentle, softer sun to fade us into co-
-herence and to start a day born without regret
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here

Black out curtain drop. Lie there on the floor
Don’t block out our stars again, we must wish on them
A nearly falling first one projecting through
Our rooms and then shooting big as we place our dreams on it
But when barren empty night bears harsher day sunlight
We can’t see in arms the hope we could hold in them
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here

Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here and I will never go away
Don’t ever go away from here

One That Got Away

Anomoanon - One That Got Away

Baby, I don’t think about you all the time
But when I do it hurts me to
Think of how you eluded me
You uprooted me and left me to burn

Like the scent of a thousand cooking fires
In a sweet suburban lane
You belonged to me and I knew you
And the wind took you away

You weren’t really mine
Were you even there at all
I was bound to call you
A thousand times
Before you slipped into that heaven
That I dreamed of on my way

Heaven that I dreamed of on my way
(heaven that I dreamed of on my way)
Heaven that I dreamed of on my way
(heaven that I dreamed of on my way)
Heaven that I dreamed of on my way

A new drink

Crooked Fingers - New Drink For The Old Drunk

Would you try, could you buy a new drink for the old drunk
It’s no crime to resign misery with a bottle
Well, you walked into town without making a sound
And you slipped as you slammed your face into the crowd
As you tried to forget all the words that were said
To deny all the things that you keep in your head

When you came you were new but today you’re much older
You were spent so you went to get used in the corner
Where they kicked you around like a rodeo clown
And it echoed through town they were beating you down
And as they spread the word that you liked how it hurt
All at once you were cause for a pitiful cure

Hours pass by half forgotten
Night turns black ‘cause it’s rotten
And we slide right to the bottom
Our tongues made out of cotton
Eyes seal shut in a slumber
‘Til we hear someone mumble
Could you spare from the tumbler
A new drink for the old drunk

Now you waste all your days in the dark in the corner
Without light, without grace, where you wait for the slaughter
Where they spit in your face as the hours grow late
And they laugh as they lie and then seal up your fate
And you cringe as you binge to forget how you hate
All the doom in this pitiful room you create

Hours pass by half forgotten
Night turns black ‘cause it’s rotten
And we slide right to the bottom
Our tongues made out of cotton
Eyes seal shut in a slumber
‘Til we hear someone mumble
Could you spare from the tumbler
A new drink for the old drunk

Faces and beer

The Capitol Years - Faces And Beer

I’m gonna go
Where the wheels turn slow
Drive you home
Drive home alone
Somehow you missed
The train when it came
The roads were too slick
My words too plain
Go home
Please yourself
Don’t be sad
The day will come back

I wanna know
Don’t make me guess
Nervous reports
Were reaching your friends
Faces and beer
Unfold on the bar
Three singers appeared
The room was cleared
On the floor
Three dead microphones
Don’t be sad
Tomorrow, come back

Lies were told
Dimes thrown
Lines were blown
Crowds were formed
A chorus of whores
Danced by the doors
Where you stood alone
A crowd of your own
Solo
Please yourself
Don’t be sad
Tomorrow, come back

Mojave 3

Mojave 3 - In Love With A View

I had a plan
That was built on thinking too long
Canadian winters
At home with your sisters
The romance was hard to ignore
You were beautiful
I was happy to fall
So happy to fall

I remember you searching
I thought you were searching
That’s how I picked up the phone
Happy to hear you remembered the view
So glad to assume it was fate
I thought at the time it was clear
I thought at the time it was clear

So I stood at the station
With a plan and a pocket of poems
Heroically tragic
Bearded and blind with obsession
I’m a car without hope
Too close to the ditch to go far
I showed you my field
I said this is my field
But you weren’t impressed

You said why are we here
Your motives are clear
In this room with a view
And so much of you
Is so far from here
It’s so far from here
It’s so far from here
It’s so far from here

Oh my heart
It just fell apart
And I wished I could show you
The same view
Of you by the window and me
Feeling fine
And me just feeling fine
Yeah me just feeling fine

Next: Faces and beer.
