Lost Notes [ep]

Like Old Woody Guthrie Said "We Ain't Dead Yet!" The times may have up and changed, This Class War remains See we've fought for living wages, safe conditions, and equal rights. Fighting for the working class Fighting for the working caste United: We Stand Divided: We Fall Brother, Sisters get in gear Sign your cards at the Union Hall As Upton Sinclair once wrote "All art is propaganda" All should have an equal say not bow to corporate agendas United: We Stand Divided: We Fall Brother, Sisters get in gear Sign your cards at the Union Hall See it through till the end, we've got the people on our side we are the working class we are the working caste

I had i dream i was a vigilante sidekick my name is tim im a lesser known character I had a dream i was a vigilante sidekick fighting crime in the streets together Down in Oakland off of west grand, st joseph relief a poor program A good place where good people get food, help your fellow man is a good thing to do Government agency said be afraid of me, i shut your doors down it won't phase me Wolverine came through left the agent for dead, opened up the doors back up everyone was fed Do not bill the abandoned buildings, it's nice to sleep when you've got a ceiling. Neighborhood watch said we gotta put a stop, can't have people livin' for free call the cops. Here comes the SWAT team, and the M-16, shoot the walls in, destroy the building. Wolverine was sad and it made him mad, every single cop got a bullet in the head.

I was twentyfive once, when I first wrote this song I'm thirtysix now and won't be for long though circumstances and time have changed the words, the story, shall remain spent fifteen years living it up learning things to write about trying to make it on my own hidden inside whisky, fear, addiction, and love I've found my home. but; Something tells me I wish we'd had made better choices Something tells me I wish I'd had a stronger voice Our lives crossed, for a time, many words were said Drowned myself in the water of life to look for a way out woke up in pain.. junkie sick to find myself again_______ but; Something tells me I wish we'd had made better choices Something tells me I wish I'd had a stronger voice Those whisky drenched days of cigarettes and sin not so long ago they won't try and creep in again I find myself here, on the other side Nor Twentysix but i'm making it through alive.

Lost Notes 04:22
Life has got you down, don't dare and turn around don't go out at night, when you're looking to pick fights. Find some good friends looking to unwind little bit of release with the ones who know you best Lost notes tell the story of the best years of our lives. Lost notes tell the story of the worst we have to hide. Broke down the wrong way, mind plays tricks at night how much can we endure, no end to pain in sight. Lost in a crowd of people that we never knew don't know where their from, only what to do. Lost notes tell the story of the best years of our lives. Lost notes tell the story of the worst we have to hide. Lost notes tell the story of the worst we have to hide. Drive around for a bit just to pass the time Later in passing I see someone with your smile a lifetime behind us No bitter thoughts left to think. Lost notes tell the story of the best years of our lives.

about

This album came as a result of talks with Sean The Bastard (the I.C.B.M.s/Plonker) and a desire to revisit some of the I.C.B.M.s tunes with the idea of re-recording them. As I've been toiling away for the past year (or more) on a new album I thought putting out a two track digital single would be a great idea, and a good way to see how well this could work.

Well, after getting Sean's vocal tracks for "Side Kick" and recording "Ain't Dead Yet" I decided to expand this to an EP. Rounding it out is an old favourite of mine that somehow has never seen an album release "Nor 26" and so now it shall, with some slightly updated lyrics to mark the passage of ten years since I first wrote it. And finishing the whole thing off is "Lost Notes" something that came to me at 2am in a riff and words on a page, putting old thoughts back together. I dig it and hope you do as well.
