ALO, Man Of The World 2010 "Put Away The Past" "The Champ"	"Put Away The Past" Just like a leaf on a winter tree Hangin' on for much too long And all our friends blowin' down the street If we wait too long they're gonna all be gone If you think there's a chance we can make it work Then we owe ourselves to go on I don't know how far we have to go I can't forget the love you gave Stay with me for one more day I don't know how far we have to go We have to go, how far we have to go And when I think about it Seems like you're sellin' out yourself every time I hear you say We're stuck at the beginning, there's no other way We had our chance at winning but that was yesterday And every time I hear your voice it's like an echo from the trees The world is spinning faster, please baby please Let's put away the past and let the future set us free I don't know how far we have to go On a trail full of thieves walking by the ocean shore I felt my soul drift out to sea Open up your door I want to know you more If you think there's a chance we can make it work Then we owe ourselves to go on I don't know how far we have to go We have to go, how far we have to go And when I think about it
	"The Champ" Probably a little more of my voice... Every morning when he wakes up He looks out his window and wonders about leaving He's dialing in distant DJ's And thinking about feeling And he starts thinking about all the signals he's receivin' And whether they're worth believin' Probably not He lights the tubes up, it's not enough He lights the boards up, it's not enough He's out the door, down the square And there's a girl down there selling redemption She's got a clear signal going on, but... He's the champ And all the signals he's receivin' And the heat makes it magnify And sometimes he can't tone it down You can twist and you can turn while the heat makes it burn But you still just can't tone it down Give him 9, it's not too much Give him 10, it's not too much Crack the plaster, it's not too much Push the pillars over, let the roof cave in, smash the signal It's not too much! He's the champ Where is he? Listen to my band...
Dave Brogan, Thunderbird Sun Transformation 2009 Amelie Broken Record Casey Easy The Infinite Eye In Memory Of Her In My Bed Tonight Pemberton Steps Stony Fileds Tehachapi Mountain	"Amelie" There's a ringing in my ear There's a fullness in the air There's a sound from a room upstairs But I can't hear it Through these walls of sadness As the plaster cracks and falls In our dark and hallow halls I hear a sound like a spirit call But I can't fear it I'm drawing ever near it Amelie Why have you forgotten me? Amelie I know the way back home All we have is what we know Every memory is gold But all our treasure has been sold So I'm leaving 'Cause I can't shake this feeling I didn't come here out of greed This is something that I need You made a wound and you let it bleed But I can't feel it And there's nothing left to heal it Amelie Why have you forgotten me? Amelie Show me the way back home Amelie Why have you forgotten me? Amelie I know the way back home
	"Broken Record" Another year has come and gone Youre sittin' on the farm You got your two piece off and your radio on You think you know what you should do You've gotta make a move But you havent got a clue And what makes you think you can do it on your own When your standing on the brink and all your strength is gone You cant go on All the thoughts that you thought were right are wrong You ought to know And there you again You sound like, you sound like a broken record a broken record Its never gonna end Cause you sound like, you sound like a broken record I'm warning you my friend You sound like, you sound like a broken record And its never gonna end Because you sound like, you sound like a broken record I bet you think you've got it made But you don't youre in the weeds And you've been lying there for weeks And the past is cathching up with you You've gotta make a move But you gotta tell the truth What makes you think that you should carry on When theyre shoulting in the streeets And all your strength is gone You cant go on Don't you know that you sold it for a song You've sung before And there you again You sound like, you sound like a broken record a broken record Its never gonna end Cause you sound like, you sound like a broken record I'm warning you my friend You sound like, you sound like a broken record And its never gonna end Because you sound like, you sound like a broken record
	"Casey" April rays, every day's a little colder I got the world on my shoulders I know that there's nobody else And my mind gets frayed, I'm like a sick and wounded soldier I can't stop until it's over I'm losing touch with myself Casey go back and grab your witch-stick Hit me one time then leave 'cause I'm gone On that day when the darkness comes to greet me I gotta keep pushin' on Way back when, when the odds could never beat me Back when your eyes could truly see me You told me there's nobody else Let me in I need your lovin' to release me Or these devils will defeat me I know that I'm losin' myself Casey come in and flip the kill switch When it comes time to leave then I'm gone Until that day when the angels come to greet me I gotta keep pressin' on And if you really love me mama please let me know And if you really need me hold me don't let me go And if you still can feel me someone please let me know 'Cause I cant feel myself
	"Easy" Where can the people hide From the rising, restless tide The anger, ego and pride – that weigh us down And we fear what's on our minds The omens and warning signs For these are desperate times – to be alive. To try and thrive Easy- don't push, don't shove Just try to lay back and love Your life for a minute 'Cause you're livin' it, baby Easy- don't push, don't shove Just try to lay back and love Your life and everyone in it 'Cause they're livin' it with you Always in somebody's debt We're livin' like it's life or death But the angels haven't left us yet They're very near And they'll lead us out of the fray And together we can find our way Cause I love you more and more every day I really do. You know it's true (Chorus) And those ties that bind you Are just the world's way to remind you To let the soul of the spirit guide you and Let it in. Easy, don't push, don't shove….
	"In Memory Of Her" On the long journey home Walking the line within I take a turn down a road A road I've never known And I feel just like a vagrant I feel just like a beggar on the street Won't you take me in my lady And take me off my feet And I wake up drunk every morning On the fruit of her vines And I break bread every evening But still she's on my mind And I swore she'd be there to greet me She'd be there on my return Every step I take redeems me In memory of her In memory of her There's a ring of endless light Dancing 'round the moon And a freight train to my right I hope I get there soon There's a dark uneasy spirit Kicking up some dust again He's got no eyes, so he can't see Our time is almost here And I wake up drunk every morning On the fruit of her vines And I break bread every evening But still she's on my mind And I swore she'd be there to greet me She'd be there on my return Every step I take redeems me In memory of her In memory of her
	"In My Bed Tonight" Silver clouds are floating In a sky so wide Let your soul cross over To the other side Every breath is sacred Everything is right As you sleep so softly In my bed tonight A man can imagine Many a thing Tomorrow's sun, And all it will bring Moonlit trees cast shadows As your dreams take flight And you sleep so softly In my bed tonight Into this heart of mine You make the moonlight shine To watch you sleeping in the night is divine By my own two hands I must do my will And it's all for you You're so beautiful As you breathe your blessing I am filled with might You asleep so softly In my bed tonight
	"Infinite Eye" I know you got a list of hopes and dreams For while you're alive I know you want to make six figures Probably only make five But if you make seven You'll win a place in heaven On the right side of god Maybe be a martyr on a tactical mission For the infinite eye I know you're gonna want some things you see For while you're alive Someday you're gonna get to live your dreams Right now you only get by The tales they're telling The emptiness they're selling Shadows of your life Looking through the lenses of the practical prism Of the infinite eye I know you've got a lot of love to feel For while you're alive Sometimes it gets hard to know the deal But you gotta keep trying The teacher's teachin' The prophesies he's preachin' Shadows of your life See the light of the world With the magical vision Of the infinite eye
	"Pemberton Steps" Get out of bed put on your dress Let's take a walk through town to the Pemberton Steps There upon the hilltop we can Talk about what we lost and what is left Pushin' through the streets in the summer heat A lot of people talkin' we just keep on walkin' Feels good to know that we still can flow Getting' out of town gonna lay our bodies down In the tall grass that grows for miles and miles At the top of the Pemberton Steps Because I spent a lot of time doin' you wrong Now I'm gonna do my very best Lookin' down all across the town From the Mission to the gate of the golden state You can try to leave but it won't take long I never meant to hurt you I never meant to do you wrong When I think of you with someone else I need one more chance to prove myself Step by step, on we climb Even though I keep slippin' you know I gotta keep on tryin' I've been known to change my mind I can't change the way I feel I wanna be where the love is real It's a long long way from here to home The sun has set and there ain't much daylight left And I'm runnin' out of time to change your mind Before we get to the bottom of the Pemberton Steps And I can feel the heat in the darkened street I try to keep talkin' you just keep on walkin' and my heart is weak, but yours is strong I never meant to hurt you I never meant to do you wrong When I think of you with someone else I need one more chance to prove myself Step by step, on we climb Even though I keep slippin' you know I gotta keep on tryin' I've been known to change my mind I can't change the way I feel I wanna be where the love is real Could you learn how to love me? Could you learn how to love me, babe? I don't wanna change my mind I don't wanna change I don't wanna change I can't change the way I feel
	"Tehachapi Mountain" This frozen light in the winter night Is givin' me visions Every flower on the window sill Is perfect and open Come with me tonight to Tehachapi Mountain Run with me and climb on Tehachapi Mountain I wanna take you so far away From this fortress Where every word is written down And every whisper recorded So take this frozen light from me And keep it in your fist Anything you cannot see in the dark Does not exist Come with me tonight to Tehachapi Mountain Run with me and hide on Tehachapi Mountain I wanna show you all the love I've got to give I need you to show me how to truly live And I'm gonna shade this light, one time I've got to share this light Come with me tonight to Tehachapi Mountain Run with me and hide on Tehachapi Mountain I wanna show you all the love I've got to give I need you to show me how to truly live Show me how to live
	"The Stony Fields" Take off your pack baby Pick me a tune I gotta get my spirit back 'Cause the winter's gonna be here soon (So wide open, the valley's wide open) One of these days you oughta Give me a call One of these days you're gonna see me Walkin' 10 feet tall (So wide open, the valley's wide open) Rubies on your lips Drip cold as ice There's a diamond in your tongue And sapphires in your eyes (So wide open, the valley's wide open) I don't care where you're goin' Or how you been Who you been talkin' to 'Cause I'm not gonna miss again (So wide open, the valley's wide open, the land is so open wide...) Out of the stony fields (All these visions take flight across the darkness of the night) Everything has to yield (To crescents, crosses and stars engraved upon the stony fields) With a velvet cloth And a tarot deck I might want to roll the dice I'm a terrible, beautiful mess (Because you got me open, you've got me wide open) I wanna stand on my head And swallow the tap Got one foot in a grave and Another caught in a trap (And you got me hopin', the future's wide open) Two thousand pedals On a Velcro board I gotta get you in close I refuse to be ignored (Because you got me open, you've got me wide open) There's a baby Runnin' with a knife Chewing on a ten cent nail Singin' "Got to get you into my life" (So wide open, the valley's wide open, the land is open wide...) Out of the stony fields (All these visions take flight across the darkness of the night) Everything has to yield (To crescents, crosses and stars engraved upon the barren farms) Out of the stony fields (Ten thousand visions take flight cross the darkness of the night) Everything has to yield (To crescents, crosses and stars engraved upon the barren farms and fields) Down the mountain from the east to west Comin' with 21 riders of the Golden Dawn You put me to the test I wonder which side of the line I'm really on
