1. Shaving Your Life [submitted by Nick Smith]
early come one winters morning
i packed my bags and said goodbye
i knew my mind was made up
and then she cried and asked me why
i had run
i heard the world calling my name
had to find a better place
had to take a chance and get away

wake up to a different point of view
look to my better half
but i dont see you
5000 miles away
i left a life of ignorance
i did not understand
but to me it makes more sense
our lives go on
while we procrastinate
feeling okay
watching as the blue skies turn to gray
got nothing to say

later on a new spring morning
i felt my strength come back around
i knew id come full circle
left with the wisdom that i found
i had to run
i heard my home calling my name
back to a better place
back to somewhere i knew i could stay

our lives go on
while we procrastinate
watch days go by
funny how it all turns out
when you start to try
i dont know where to go

i see that place in front of you
the things i thought were not true
but now the fires burning you
got nothing

Thanks :

ive got this thing about you now
i tried to understand
so baby let me show you how
you changed my life the day you showed up at my door

ive got this notion in my head
if i go forward then i jump back again into my routine of misery
i try harder just to get along today
cant see things through
got just one chance left
and im barely hangin on
what can i do

when im with you
it's all i got
my forbidden pleasure and a life of smoking pot
it's who i am and i cant change
the stops have been removed
but then our lives are still the same again
thats who i am

our days on earth are short i know
with a little new direction
i can find out where to go
and maybe when i get there
baby ill see you

oh mia just wanna see ya
cause your my left footed girl
oh baby
just dont say maybe
cause youre my left footed girl

- also known as 'New Dixie' 3. B-Side [submitted by Nick Smith] i know exactly where youve been
but i dont fear you
i know its harder to give in
but i dont hear you
i feel a change
somethings in the air its all around my head
i know you try
to put the blame on me
i throw it back instead

so here we go again kickin it with friends
burn another joint and get right to the point
falling on my own
got no place to go
wait for me outside
ill take you for a ride
in my life
on the b side

ill never leave
its just the place for me
a home away from home
another down a couple more to go
the only way ive known

dont wait for me
ill meet you there
if im not with you
i dont care
when everything just goes your way
and its supposed to stop you
but you just cant say

  4. Days Away [submitted by Benj Allison] that's me staring out my window
different man than i was before
i was scared with no hesitation
kept me running for the door

when i spoke
well my words fell away yeah
into something that i can't deny
i was confronted by a nasty reputation ???
a never ending circle washed me up to see the lie
in my mind that was ever so elusive
hidden deep beneath a plastic shine
i had to wonder if i'd ever really figure out
what it was i was trying to find

so along was i ever thinking
did i ever really understand
i was covered by a wave of confusion
showing in my shaking hands tonight
i was in a situation
did i wanna just take control or run
but i never checked my opinion
still just laying silent in the sun

days away
the one mistake that i made
days away
coming in the air to save me now

5. Bridges [submitted by Benj Allison] how can you tell me this land free
two party system hypocrisy
trust in them with our lives
they're still the ones
who decide your fate
your destination
who's in control of our lives
burn your bridges to the ground
forget all the freedom that you've found
i can see them from miles away
but i don't hear what they say do you

all those suits on capitol hill
they're on my mind
they're making me ill
important thing is what they're doing
i don't really care
i don't really give a fuck who they're screwin'
do you blieve in your freedom
stand up for your rights
do what you choose
burn your bridges to the ground
forget all the freedom that you've found
i can see them from miles away
but i don't hear what they say
do you   6. We'll Start To Worry When The Cynics Start Believing [submitted by Martin] i took a walk through your world today
nice place to visit but i wouldn't want to stay
i want to see how other people live
remote control and not a thought to give
we're going to get up
we're going to get even
we'll start to worry when the cynics start believing

after visiting
i'm sure i'll feel fine
i'll be placated by the things in my mind
locked on the inside while i'm out here running free
i might be crazy but at least it's really me
but i won't believe what they say
won't ever take
what they gave away
i won't negate
call me insane
i might be crazy but at least i won't play their fuckin game

i took a walk through your world today
nice place to visit but i wouldn't want to stay
i want to see how other people get by
sense of security by living a lie
we're going to get up
we're going to get even
we'll start to worry when the cynics start believing
but i won't believe what they say
won't ever take
what they gave away
i won't negate
call me insane
i might be crazy but at least i won't play their fuckin game

were gonna get up
were gonna get even
we'll start to worry when the cynics start believing
were gonna get up
were gonna get even
we'll start to worry when the cynics start believing   7. Weird Beard [submitted by Martin] the night was dark
the seas were rough
the port lay straight ahead
the booze ran out
the men grew tired
and this is what they said:
"captain if you cannot find a place to set her down
then you'll be sleeping right along with this vessel in the ground"

well the jolly roger pulled through
and made it to the land
we disembarked
went into town with vengence in our hand
the children cried
the woman sight
the men just turn their heads
so with a smile we chated loud and this is what we said

"ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
cause we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free"

with nothing left for us to drink
the night was winding down
but still the girls kept swaggering
and still hanging around
oh! mister can you tell me where i can find a man
the only thing that you will find is the back side of my hand!

"ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free
ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people free "

i'd buy california
invite my friends and i'd make it my pad

if i had a peso for every time she said:
"wake up you lazy pile and get our ass up out of my bed"
i'd buy a private plane and fly around the world
eat at all the best restaurants and hang out with hot girls

but i know i'm stuck with you
and there's nothing i can do
so i'll take your hand
and say
stay with me
stay with me
please stay with me girl
i know you wanna slap my face
but please
stay with me girl

girl i know its all my fault
and i'm just a dirt bag
i hope you can forgive and forget
so we can so shag
cause i know i'm stuck with you
and there's nothing i can do
so i'll take your hand and say
stay with me
stay with me
please stay with me girl
i know you wanna kick my ass
but please
stay with me girl

stay with me

- Nick Leach 9. Hound Bound [submitted by Spanky] I mix it up I wash It down now
I guess it's all I ever learned to do when I'm with you

last chance second nature
I see a road that leads right to your door. do I want more?

now I'm hearin everybody talk and then I ask myself
what exactly am I supposed to do?

yes I'm leavin
yes I'm leavin you behind
I'm still believing
what we had was really never mine

lookin back a blank expression
penetrated silence into me
and I'm startin to bleed

what do I need?
who do I talk to?
confidence is long since passed away
but I'm here to say

now I see the people walk by (I watch them pass)
coroded minor notes
playin in the back end of my mind

yes I'm leavin
yes I'm leavin you behind
I'm still believing
what we had was really never mine   10. Depleted Salvo [submitted by Martin]

how can you justify your pain
(why do you justify your pain)
when every one has felt the same
how can you walk around so dead
(why do you walk around so dead)
with good days gone and more ahead
(with good days gone and more ahead)

with one look you take
the idle minds that lay before you
and give something they can touch and they can feel
and in the end
you'll have the memories that few could dream off
so with these words i say
can't you see that your life's just begun

how can you let the days go by
(why do you let the days go by)
with no excuse no alibi
how can you fall when you don't climb
(how can you fall when you don't climb)
the fear of heights has left you blind
(the fear of heights has left you blind)


with one look you take
the idle minds that lay before you
and give something they can touch and they can feel
and in the end
you'll have the memories that few could dream off
so with these words i say
can't you see that your life's just begun

i see you're life has just begin
why can't i be free

with one look you take
the idle minds that lay before you
and give something they can touch and they can feel
and in the end
you'll have the memories that few could dream off
so with these words i say
can't you see that your life's just begun

i don't mean to tell you so
cause now i've gone out in mind
and my mind aches the way you do
i just wanna see it through
cause all i have is when i go alone

the less i feel is the less on top
i don't mean to make you stop
when everything is going fine
the fort i build is where i die
but i don't mean to make you cry
but all i have is when i go away

i'll practice in my room
you'll watch the things that i do
i'll practice in my room
when i leave
girl don't you know i'm gonna miss you

the less i feel is the less on top
i don't mean to make you stop
now that i'm not by your side
cause all this time i'm wasting now
i just can't be headed south
got to do it in my own damn way

i'll practice in my room
you'll watch the things that i do
i'll practice in my room
when i leave
girl don't you know i'm gonna miss you Thanks :
- Nick Leach 12.Booze Cruise [submitted by Martin] we hit the road
we had ten hours left on our drive
level of sanity going out the window
who knows what lays ahead
and all i see is the endless headlights flying away

you're sick of me?
i'm sick of you
let's pull off and just talk this one through
to turn around to walk away
you'll be leaving
but i'll be here to stay

one way to go
the direction undetermined
rand mcnally goes flying out the window
with empty bottles and broken spirits
the endless headlights are flying away

when i was younger
i leapt at the chance
now that i'm older i wonder
if i had it to do all over again
would i do anything different
way too much time
and bullshit on my mind
i feel like i'm fallinf to pieces
the smoke surrounds your head
you don't wanna be there
i can hear you when you're falling

drinking with your good friends
work for the man
do the best you can
to make it to the weekend
everybody's coming out
we're gonna have a good time
just forget all the bullshit
and everything will be fine

get to the show things start to go
and everybody's swaying
drinks in the air
and we don't care
cause the band just starting playing
guy walks by with the look in his eye
and we know what he's doing
he's just out to find about the faces he can ruin

fight fight fight
and you think its right
cause your always fuckin' wasted
you're gonna go to the punk rock show
to rearrange some faces
fight fight fight and you think its right
testosterone abuser
your gonna go to the punk rock show
but your just a fuckin' loser

don't look now
i heard a pow
and there's a girl a crying
you let the one fly
and hit her in the eye
and on the floor she's lying
your bros all thought you were pretty cool when they saw you deck her
i thought you knew what steroids do to your drunken little pecker
