Liner Notes

Hmm. Interesting.

Lyrics

Every day I feel pain I remember nothing's the same
Every breath too much stress you've made it all a mess

Are you a demon?
Dark eyes
Dark hair
A ready smile
Takes my air

You may as well be agent orange
Or iron and a match
Cause I'm dying inside
A fact you didn't catch

You may as well be kryptonite
Or flint and tinder
Cause I'm going up in flames
A sanctified sinner

It was nothing to you but who am I stained with rue
It was true love to me but it seems I must be free

Are you a demon?
Your hands
Your touch
Awkward laugh
Means too much

You may as well be kryptonite
Or flint and tinder
Cause I'm going up in flames
A sanctified sinner

You may as well be agent orange
Or iron and a match
Cause I'm dying inside
A fact you didn't catch

Or did you

Gotta stay strong
Gotta stay strong
Stay alive stay alive
Don't ask you to
Stay

Liner Notes

LYRICS ARE SO MUCH EASIER YOU GUISE.

Lyrics

Loving my town
Hanging with friends
This is my hood
They call it a ghetto
but hey! now
I'd say life's pretty good

Hey, hey, this is Toronto
Multicultural pride
Be who you really are
No-one needs to hide
This is Toronto
This is Toronto

Just go downtown
Ride the streetcar
Take a look around
All the people of
different nations
Just getting along

Hey, hey, this is Toronto
Multicultural pride
Be who you really are
No-one needs to hide
This is Toronto
This is Toronto

Chill at the waterfront
Yeah down at Harbourfront
Watch those tall ship sails go by
Summer beats and sweets and I love

Hey, hey, this is Toronto
Multicultural pride
Be who you really are
No-one needs to hide
This is Toronto
This is Toronto

Hey, hey, this is Toronto
Multicultural pride
Be who you really are
No-one needs to hide
This is Toronto
This is Toronto
Hey, hey, this is Toronto
This is Toronto
This is Toronto

Broken Stepping Stone (2015)

Broken Stepping Stone

2015

Chagall

This was inspired by a photo I took of some broken back steps in a local apartment building.


Lyrics:

There's a broken stepping stone
But I don't know how to fly
I've been living here alone
Yeah the reasons make me cry
I'm not alone in wondering why
We're all so alone

How do you climb broken stairs
Where do we find repairs
When that broken stepping stone
Just won't lead us home

Every rain becomes a mudslide
There's no sidewalk on the hill
So much emptiness inside
That nothing seems to fill
I'm not alone in wondering why
We live to die

How do you climb broken stairs
Where do we find repairs

Broken broken broken
Broken broken broken
Step step step no step
Step step step no step
Broken

How do we leave the past behind
Where do we find peace of mind
When that broken stepping stone
Just won't lead us home


Broken broken broken
Broken broken broken
Step step step no step
Step step step no step
Broken

Cookies need no introduction.

Lyrics

Why does the dark side get everything cool
Red lightsabers, black leather and the signature mysterious cloak
Black forest cakes and cookies to make us all drool
Makes the light side look like a joke...

Well...

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
To make the dark side pay!

(Vengeance leads to the dark side, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
To make the people say

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

Well, does the light side get anything cool?
Sure we've got lightsabers - any colour that's not red
(My apprentice, we're the good side, stop playing the fool
The dark side just makes people dead)

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
Force the dark side to obey

(Aggression leads to the dark side, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
For everyone to say

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

(We're welcomed in all coordinates across the galaxies
And there's only once or twice been dark side wookiies
One other thing besides
The cookies are a lie
You think pure evil wouldn't do misleading advertising?!)
The dark side doesn't have cookies?
What do they feed their students - pie? I like pie...

(You don't like pie made from the other students, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

(Someday
You're gonna bake light side cookies
And everyone will say)

Aww

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

Ticket to Paradise (2008)

Ticket to Paradise

FAWM 2008 Spamour #2

Chagall

It's important for you
Give yourself a favour
You will feel lovely
You really need it
Just let go and fly

Don't strain yourself
You don't need to look around
In a split second
Just a matter of weeks
She won't resist you

You don't know what to do?
You don't know what to do?
Grab your ticket to paradise
Book your flight

Impassioned zealous nights
Will cure all your doubts
The one you've constantly wanted
Wrapped in your arms
Your ticket to paradise

You'll know just what to do
You'll know just what to do
Grab your ticket to paradise
Book your flight

Have a perfect love!
Today is the day
She will want to have these nights forever
You really can make a perfect love!
Just let go and fly
Just let go and fly

You'll know just what to do
You'll know just what to do
Grab your ticket to paradise
Book your flight
Just let go and fly
Your ticket to paradise
Just let go and fly
Your ticket to paradise
Just let go and trust

I'm Just Happy

Chagall

Straight-ahead love song with a lot of space for guitar riffs.

Lyrics:

Your heart is an
Your heart is an
Your heart is an
Open door
And I
And I'm not
Drowning anymore

I look into your eyes and
I'm happy
I'm just happy
Cause the light that shines inside you I can see
and I'm not drowning anymore

Your kiss is an
Your kiss is an
Your kiss is an
Angel's dream
And I
And I'm falling deep but not falling down
Drowning but not drowning
Gasping for breath but don't call 911...
I'm just happy

I look into your eyes and
I'm happy
I'm just happy
Cause the light that shines inside you I can see
and I'm not drowning anymore
Look into your eyes and
I'm happy
I'm just happy
Cause the light that shines inside you I can see
and I'm not drowning anymore
Look inside
I'm just happy

Subway Surfing (2007)

Subway Surfing

FAWM 2007

Chagall

A girl with bright blue hair
Torn hose, all in black
Don river valley bridge is rumbling
Piercings and tinny beats walk in
A mohawk dare to stare

Dirty snow, slush and grey rain
Rushing growth of tender buds
Summer trees bright green and vain
Look at the leaves already red again

Surfing the subway
Feeling the pulse of town
Station by station
East to west
Around the loop
Behind my eyes, impressions
Linger in the empty car

A man with his black dog
Red leash, a-quiver
Blue angelic eyes and wrinkled skin
Soft white hair believes in Santa Claus
"I broke up with him today, yeah"
"Oh, hi, how are you"

Dirty bums, cripples in pain
Rushing crush at Yonge and Bloor
Summer fashions, bright and vain
"Look at the time, late for work again"

Surfing the subway
Feeling the pulse of town
Station by station
East to west
Around the loop
Beside me, leftover impressions
Linger in the empty car

Feel the Moment (2009)

Feel the Moment

FAWM 2009

Chagall

Don't remember if I did music for this. Huh.

Lyrics:

Look into my heart with a golden canary smile
Give up yesterdays
Even though it's been a long trail of tears

Give up tomorrows even while you're planning ahead
The plan that life lives
Is a plan that's unfolding right here right now 

Feel the moment
Feel your heart beat
Feel the distance stretch betweeen the stars
Feel the sweetness
Feel the sorrow
Feel the power of right now
Feel the moment

Look into your dreams with a royal magenta bliss
Give up excuses
Even if you fail again there's already a twist

The universe is conspiring against you
The universe is conspiring against you
All that you fear... is nothing
All that you are... is everything

Feel the moment
Feel your heart beat
Feel the distance stretch betweeen the stars
Feel the sweetness
Feel the sorrow
Feel the power of right now
Feel the moment

Right here right now
Right here right now
Everything's perfect...

Feel the moment when your dreams burst through
Give up perfection
Because it's already in the seed and root

Feel the moment
Feel your heart beat
Feel the distance stretch betweeen the stars
Feel the sweetness
Feel the sorrow
Feel the power of right now
Feel the moment

Right here right now
Right here right now
Everything's perfect...

Feel the moment
Feel your heart beat
Feel the distance stretch betweeen the stars
Feel the sweetness
Feel the sorrow
Feel the power of right now
Feel the moment

Right here right now
Right here right now
Everything's perfect...
