Bombs

1. Walking the Line – M.Lux

You say today ain’t a new day cause it feels like the last
Why do you say when you know that the past is the past
You got a crazy little mind, always walking on the line, comin strong

I watch the rain leave its stain on the happiest few
I watch a stone rollin’ home and I’m thinking of you
I want you crazy little mind, stack the lines on the lines, comin strong

All the profits with their gossip and their history
We don’t need no explanations and no sympathy
We gotta one track mind, but we’re doin just fine
And when the clock strikes never then we’re walking the line

I found a clown lookin down and I asked him bout things
He says he’s stirred by a bird who’s still pulling his strings
He wants her crazy little mind, so he’s walkin the line, comin strong

I love your mouth when its shut like a mime with a gun
I love your walk like a woman but you’re having more fun
I love your crazy little mind, always walking the line, comin strong

(chorus)

2. Foreign Film – M. Lux

I have become a poor rendition of a foreign film (x 4)

When tragedy swallows the majority
And strange tones come and take over me
Understandings never close enough for me to see

I cant seem to understand a single word you say (x4)

What happen to the plot we lived the other night
The one where all the scenery was black and white
I know every subtitled but the ending don’t seem right
(Chorus x2)
Sign me away
So you can be on your way
Don’t remind me of days
Where you knew what I was saying

You have enjoyed all the pleasures of a heros pain (x4)

Because every time he is onto her he seems to miss
And every time she brings him down its with a kiss
Well the hero doesn’t win in a film like this

(Chorus x2)
[ back to top ]

3. This Is Loud – M. Lux

What a cockeyed sweet little mess you made
You went and done what you never should do
Its like Im spitting out bullets as soldiers
And if your lucky you’ll feel them to

This is Loud ( x4)

Why do you talk when your words me nothing to me
You’ve lost your second chances and all your luck
I’ve never written three good words about you
Hey, pretty devil find a drink and a fuck

This is Loud (x4)

You take the hardest way
It’s not the only way
Babies, got a hole in her head
And today
I finally made my mind
It don’t take no time
I only got one thing to spit your way now

This is Loud (x4)

[ back to top ]

4. Salt Your Wounds – M. Lux

Well let us set this straight tonight
I’m gonna scream, scream with delight
I’m gonna find me a hole
Gonna dig it, dig it, bury all the hearts that you stole

You can dig up what you want
You’re my sweet flawed debutant
But when they find you out
We’re gonna steal, steal, steal, till they don’t have a doubt
That you
(Chorus)
Salt your wounds
Play the fool
They’re never better than you
And you know it too

Let’s write another story
It’d be a golden age mystery
About the King and the Thief
And how she’d stolen the town by disrupting the peace

She leaves a lasting scent on you
Just like the smoking jokers do
She won’t give you no time
But it’s perfect for her cuz they know in their minds
That you

(Chorus)

5. Movin’ Mountain J. Acker/M. Lux/S. Blythe

I drove with her
Till the sunset
Didn’t have a road to take

Made her feel so easy
Just moving for moving sake
(Chorus)
Moving mountains with every mile we make
Moving mountains with the smile she breaks

She’s lost her country living
Found her some city ways
Doesn’t know what shes been missing
But she does it anyway

(Chorus)

Like a bee without a stinger
Tangled up in that feeling
Taste her love
Taste her tingle

Mountain air
Here loving fingers

(Chorus)

Moving!

Then she to came to me in the sunset
And I drove with her again

[ back to top ]

6. Little Trigger – J.Acker/M.Lux

Little Trigger, I know your game
Your politely inviting until one day
Your smell is of rotting pride
I can smell weakness in your eyes
Little Trigger, I know your name
(Chorus)
You’re not a rock roll star
You’re not a man with plans
You take what others misplaced
And use them up till they’re dead

Little Trigger, won’t you come out to play
I’ve got this song I wrote to uncloak your name
Don’t’ feel much like talking
I feel shivers in my spine
You see your friends all walking?
Trigger, you’re all mine

(Chorus)

I’m not judging preference
I can understand
You take the easy way out
And give others all your demands

[ back to top ]

7. Steal Away – M.Lux

If you haven’t found me out by now
You ain’t ever gonna know the truth
Gonna say anything that you like
Gonna do what you wanna do

Late at night you feel alright
Wanna give yourself something to say
(Chorus)
Keep what you got
Know what you want
Steal Away (x3)

Gotta stoop down just to hear you breath
Make sure your still alive
What I said quit playing dead
You know you need to try

In the morning will you give me a warning
Before you go away

(Chorus)

[ back to top ]

8. Loaded And Lit – M.Lux

I got a number in my head and its counting down
On all fours give me more
I’ll be waiting for you to come back now

Wanna tell about my dreams how they ran away
They stole my car got lost in a bar
Somewhere in LA
(Chorus x2)
I need to be here
Cant lose it yet
I need a lover
She keep me loaded and lit

I’ve heard the future through the mouth of a gun
I don’t know whats coming down
Not the stakes or the sound
Im not the only one

Hey don’t pass me by
I been waiting for my time to give
Im loose objector conscious defector
And that’s all I get

Have you ever seen the rain coming round anymore
I can’t remember its face
The time or the place
I saw it before

(Chorus x2)

[ back to top ]

9. All I Need – M. Lux

I find my time
Spend my dime for me
Let me walk the mile
Breathe awhile for me
And everybody I can see
Starts to disappear right in front of me
I don’t mind
I got what I need

Sit me down
Don’t make a sound for me
Take a chance
Gonna get an answer for me
And if everybody I can see
Starts to disappear right in front of me
I don’t mind
I got what I need

Gonna fill my cup
Gonna light it up for me
Gonna see you now
Gonna show you how for me
And if everybody I can see
Starts to disappear right in front of me
I don’t mind
I got what I need

Let me walk a mile
Breathe awhile
Gonna fill my cup
Gonna light you up
Gonna see you now
Gonna show you how

10. Blues In Hell Minor S.Blythe/J.Acker/M.Lux

Oh When I die going straight to hell
Going to lay my bags down
Going to ring the bell

If I die going straight to hell
Meet the red suntan
Drink from his well

Oh water runs dry
And rain don’t fall
I stole his horns
I’ve earned by now

Oh When I die going straight to hell
Going to play old piano
Ladies think Im swell

If I die going straight to hell
Going to steal his chariot
No one will ever tell

He stole my life
Rain never fell
I stole his wife
Now I run hell

Oh when Im old
Going down to hell
At least there is sunshine
Do my old bones well

Oh its to cold
Im hiding out in hell
Where my baby be
Now that I run hell

Good Sons

1. Electrica J. Acker/M. Lux

Coming through the past
Its our nonsense future
We got a bright bright night
But its all in our music

Coming through the past
Coming through the wall
Coming through your head
It’s all we got now

Look around to see
Where you wanna be
Listen to the Sound
It’s all we got now

Hey Hey do it again (x4)

[ back to top ]

2. Gimme Trouble J.Acker/M.Lux

There is just one thing we know how to do
Getting what we need gonna give it to you
Gotta keep loving here the whistle sound
Loaded up and steady not strung out

Just like me, Just like you
Im a good son, honey cant you tell by my silver spoon
(Chorus)
Give me life give me cover
Give me truth gimme trouble

She’s a pretty little thing just knows what to say
She does a ooo ooo and a hey hey hey
Gotta keep loving cant put a good woman down
Ready for a mean night young guns come out

Just like you, Just like me

(Chorus)

[ back to top ]

3. Antique Heart – M.Lux

Last night I had myself a feeling
Its no wonder but it felt fine to me
Took a lesson from the no where rollers
If there is one thing that they know
Its how to be free

I sat onto of a lonely city
Looked into the street and saw my face
Fresh blood on my mind and jacket
I wanna riot but it ain’t my place
No it ain’t my
(Chorus)
There’s rust on my chest
Got it from the rain and the loneliness
Whats wrong with my antique heart
Starting over is the hardest part
You got your woman and I got my wine

Had a talk with a friend of mine
I cant see her but she takes care of me
I ain’t sick, but I need a doctor
Now she’s telling me I gotta find a better way

(Chorus)

[ back to top ]

5. Lost In The Tiles – M.Lux

Another moonlight morning – now it’s comin’ strong
And we lose ourselves in the northern song
Another silhouette dancing on my wall
And the face of the past smiling down the hall

Another gin and tonic morning – now we rest our heads
Before we say another prayer and take us back to bed
Then the dreams that we buy from a dusty bag
They’re gonna save us from the curse of the fearful man
(Chorus)
It’s alright
We’re never better
I have mine
You come and get her

Another black and white morning – now we’re paranoid
And we soak up the light from the celluloid
And all the pretty girls come around my door
But I’m lost in the tiles checkered on the floor

(Chorus)

[ back to top ]

6. Sister Sugar – M.Lux

Sister sugar let me be
I love you best when your not with me
Sister sugar got to give me time
Your going to know to leave it all behind

Sing me songs like you did before
Write me letters on your telephone tonight

I wanna love you, but I don’t know how
I wanna need you, but you bring it down

Look at me put a record on
You love in colors, but your missing one
See the smile on your pretty face
Sister sugar gonna let me taste

Sing me songs like you did before
Write me letters on your telephone tonight

I wanna love you, but I don’t know how
I wanna need you, but you bring it down

I fell in love today, but there aint no sense in going wrong
For a lady love, if you cant take her home

[ back to top ]

7. Instigator – M.Lux

When I was a child
I was a smarter man
You know I knew my heart
From my bitter hand

When I was a child
You know I spoke the truth
You know I couldn’t lie
To a girl like you
(Chorus)
I need the beggars release
I need the preachers belief
I need the profits sight to make it right
And be who I will be

Now I sold my soul
For another way
Figured wouldn’t want nothing
Just another day

Coming to the end
Now I trade my skin
With a bigot woman
And her skin -tight sin

(Chorus)

I’m not talking past or future
I’m not speaking from god -like heights
I don’t want another instigator
I don’t care about wrongs or rights

[ back to top ]

8. Stella’s (Don’t Wanna Grow Old Smoke Alarm Blues) J.Acker/M.Lux

She got those slender fingers and those scheming lines
Her name is teenage fable
The boys all wait in line
Wears a big crown queen
In her small little life
Damn Stella you alright

(Chours)
My woman see what you done
You wanna push push
You wanna uhuh
She don’t know if she dead or alive
Stella don’t know Stella don’t know

She knock me of course with them dark cat eyes
She starts a tickling my devil inside
Gotta be the queen in a another mans life
Damn Stella you alright

Chours

She got no need for words she in that black and white
She gonna push on you till you get her right
Gonna be the queen in another mans life
Damn Stella you so fucking fine

Chorus

[ back to top ]

9. Potter, Potter – M.Lux

I’ve known it since birth
I know what it’s worth

The Potter’s Callin
Sayin that I’m Stallin,
(Bridge)
Every time I see my soul
My hands are tired
My dice don’t roll

Every time I take control
My feet don’t move
My heart don’t know

I did it again
I lost what I had

And Something’s Calling
And I’m still wrong and

(Bridge + Chorus)

(Chorus)
I’d like to take the time
To recognize the Potter’s Wheel
The unlit match and the broken seal
But tomorrow doesn’t know
If you’re living life on a makers time
Or waiting on Satan to make up his mind

It’s happening soon
I know what I’m doing

The Potter’s Callin
And I’m not Stallin
No More

If this is the end
I want what’s comin
If this is the end
I’ll get what’s comin
(Bridge + Chorus)

Hold On (Wild Rose) – M.Lux

I see you, I know me
That’s where I want to be
Oh sister come and take a chance with me

You’ve been lonely oh so long
You need a love to keep you pushin on
Your pretty head has got you going wrong
Alright

Baby, don’t let me go
You got a hold on me

It’s that summer time again
Tell me where to begin
I know you don’t put any faith in friends

So I won’t be nice to you
I’m gonna tell you what to do
I’ll show you someone you can give it to
Alright

(Chorus)

All this time I didn’t know
That you were trying to say hello
I always thought you were a wild rose

In the quiet Kentucky blue
That’s where I’ll meet with you
You show me everything I never knew
Alright

(Chorus)

Joker And The Queen

1. Horseman – M.Lux/J.Acker

Smell the salt coming down
broad strokes feel the call now
dead weight all around
hard to let it all hang out

Pinch a nickel from the crowd
Steal a kiss and blow it out now
Not fool just a clown
Kick it break it out loud
(Chorus)
I dont need a horseman to hold my dream
I really dont wanna keep this soul to lean
I cant catch a beat if its not mean
I wanna hold a note we all see

Fetch the stick come on and dig my lick

Hear the brush in the din
Gonna make and old girl spin
Wrangle up a sound and
Pitch it to the flowers behind your house

Cant flinch at the crowd
you gotta try to hear the soft voice loud
A caution for the wise
We all look the same in a young boy’s eyes

(Chorus x2)

[ back to top ]

2. Fever Song – M.Lux/J.Acker

Cant stop the good fever growing
Cant break to avoid it all
Cant hurt to pitch one more throw in
Cant miss if you dont swing at all

Let hold go on your ambition
Let a pause employ us all
Take words and make a position
Heartbeat in a soul song
(Chorus)
Whatcha say about that my friend
Whatcha say about that in the end
In the end…..
Whatcha say about that my friend

*REPEAT

(Chorus)

[ back to top ]

3. Joker & The Queen – M.Lux

I was the joker you was the queen
We was the song that we did sing
We were the people we wanted to be
All that we wanted was holy and free

We walked the old roads fashioned with furs
We was our own child we was our own curse
All devil may care we spin in reverse
The blind choir plays on they dont miss a beat or verse
(Chorus)
Come bring it back to me
Come give it back to me
Come bring back to me
Come give back to me

We lived a bright haze
And the records they turned
And on the cold days old dogs howl was heard
The place wasnt warm but the whiskey was good
The well that we was wishing was at our feet but we forgot

(Chorus x2)

[ back to top ]

4. One More Road – M.Lux/J.Acker

All my friends stop making sense
Listen to the calling
Where’s your window on this ordinary night
Hear the stray dogs laughing
Time to go to the whistling shore
To that old black sea
Come with me to newberry creek
Ramblin’ to south country

Getting high just passing the time
Watching girls above
All the time to drink up your wine
I feel sick with love
Needles and hay we is whistling away
Foreign fogs a coming
Getting lost on the slow train bus
We dont care bout’ nothing…
(Chorus)
One more road
One more road
One more road
One more road

Ten rock roads nowhere to go
Boots all gravel splinters
Living high now cos in summer and fall
Run to gilded winters

Gimme the steam of that rockin’ horse dream
Let me meet my maker
Snowbirds dream in a magazine
Sunday ride Ill take her Sunday ride Ill take her
Sunday stoned Ill take her…

(Chorus)

[ back to top ]

5. Miss Daisy – M.Lux/J.Acker

Miss daisy’s on a truck in the road getting anxious getting cold
And all she wants to do is not do what shes told
Precious time she gives she sells to all her lovers she will tell
I know I love you baby but my baby love me well to

Now on the other side of the town flower girls getting down
He’ll be pushing her up soon praying deep in the ground
Save her soon save her now let her go get her out
Shivering whispering words save us all from the cloud came through
(Chorus)
Another gone lady..
And there is another one waiting
At the foot of her bed
Another gone lady ..
And there is another one waiting
At the foot of her bed for you..

Miss daisy knows the sacred tune as fever grows in ones like you
So let her write a letter for your postman to chew
And it comes to all you know they held her high they wanted more
As church bells sound miss daisy sweeps the killing floor with you

(Chorus x2)

6. It Won’t Stick – M.Lux/J.Acker/M.Perryman

Little hand in a pocket book
Little hand dont bother me
Little hand dont be shy
Take it all and make me see

Less I have the more I know
Less bread to grow the oats
Less time to make the dough
Take it all and make me see

Honey…dont be shy you can clear the smoke
With a single light……

Pale hand in my eyes
Time is taking us for a ride
Thieve it all round the bend
Take it all and make me see

Shes all black inside
Spider cursed and polarized
I heed from the hand that bids
Quick switch in the wrong trail ride

Honey…dont be shy you can clear the smoke
With a single light……

If God has a willful hand
Id hate to see his size ten
If I got time to spare
Then its all just a little dare
A little dare…..

Honey…dont be shy you can clear the smoke
With a single light…….

7. The River – M.Lux

If your really needing something
Take me to the river laid to rest
If you wanna feel it say nothing
Listen to what life has told you best….

All thats that doesnt stay
Yesterday is happening today
All the wunder round my head
Take me to the river laid to rest(x2)

8. Krista Lynn – J.Acker

Oh Krista Lynn where’d you come from
Oh Krista Lynn where’d you come from
raise up the flag of your soul
heart down the way to my world

Oh Krista Lynn where’d you come from
Oh Krista Lynn where you come from
heart down the world let it show you
hold back the pain dont let it bother you

Oh Krista Lynn where’d you come from
Oh Krista Lynn where you come from
weight down the burden dont let it show
heartbreak and sorrow wont leave you alone
come on let it fall to it may grow
don’t let it harden down a hollow road

Oh Krista Lynn where’d you come from
Oh Krista Lynn where’d you break from

I dont..
I dont..
Oh I dont..
No I dont..

Raise up the flag let it show
Dont be afraid I got no where to go
Lets see you dance till the morning show
Come on build a song three chords or more

Oh Krista Lynn where’d you come from

9. Sweet Lady Rise – M.Lux/J.Acker/M.Perryman

I see it now and its oh so clear
We will convene to the head of the chair
Making marks as we play in the sand
Dressing up just like we were pretend
Writing songs for our own time
Kissing hands of those left behind
(Chorus)
Oh Sweet Lady Rise
Oh Sweet Lady Rise

Put on those pants and put on that hat
Lets fashion one out of mold and skat
Take your time son dont be shy
It’s all so easy to turn out right
But there aint no hope to find
All a kill to your own time

(Chorus)

The dream is dead
We’re still alive
Hand me a number to stand in line
Give me a grievance to pay my debt
Roll me up and drop your hat

Oh Sweet Lady Rise………

10. Honestman – J.Acker/M.Lux

Why did you fall for an honestman
How could you dream it when dreaming cant
Torn from the hits of the last
Can I spell a future without my past

Why did you fall for an honestman
How did you dream it when dreaming cant
Torn from page in the past
Can I spell a future without my…

Never let a young one tell you
Never let an old one sell you
Never let no one change you

How could you fall for an honestman
Why did you dream it when dreaming cant
Torn from the hits of the last
Can I spell a future without my without my without my past

Never let a young one tell you
Never let an old one sell you
Never let no one change you
