Light Inside 03:36
lyrics
buy track
There is a light That I have found It's deep inside And all around The heavens do Declare with sound As lightning strikes This hallowed ground And though the cold winds blow This fire burns It penetrates my bones It keeps me warm And when the summer comes It feels like ecstasy It’s awake and alive Deep inside There are some Who walk through life Their eyes shut closed Hands at their side But I look forward to that ride My hands in the air I smile wide And darkness closes in Surrounds the night But does it dare step in Into the light And when the summer comes It feels like ecstasy It’s awake and alive Deep inside

San Clemente 05:01

I spent all my money Wasted all of my days Travelin’ every road I’ve found Lookin’ for a place where I can stay But everywhere I go People there, they push me away But I don’t pay no mind at all I know that somehow I will find a way I will find a way They told me I should go west But Californ-i-a’s where I was raised And I tried to leave it all behind But couldn’t live without those sunny days So I ran down from the city Ran down south away from old LA Down to San Clemente Away from all the cars and noise and haze And that’s where I will stay Down in San Clemente Yeah that’s where I will stay Down in San Clemente San Clemente I finally found my seaside Finally found that place where I can stay It’s down in San Clemente Where the sand meets the waves Me and my baby We just sing and play And mess around all day Down in San Clemente Away from all those cars and noise and haze And that’s where I will stay Down in San Clemente Yeah that’s where I will stay Down in San Clemente Yeah that’s where I will stay Down in San Clemente That’s where I will stay Down in San Clemente San Clemente

Fall of Rome 03:33
lyrics

As the sun rises On another day Just another city Built up from the clay Do you remember times When ivory towers rose from the sea Eroding below We had no conception Of what we had done Felt that it all had been Been in good fun Well now the time for merriment Is finally at an end Our conscience We can no longer defend As Rome falls in front of me Yeah But oh, our humanity is still in reach Wake the fuck up The devil is at your door It’s not just your Rome that these Visigoths want Do you want somewhere to eat? Do you want somewhere to sleep? Then pour the water on the fire burning through them while they Sleep in front of me yeah But oh, our humanity is still in reach Ooooooh Fall of Rome Yeah yeah yeah oh oh Fuel the Fire Fall of Rome Yeah yeah yeah Standing on the hill In the mountain of their dreams The wind blows ashes into my eyes Shield my face from a burnt out sun And remember Rome

It’s a warm summer day And I’m dreaming like I normally do My eyes are shut closed But I’m looking at a shimmering view Light of blue and the sun so bright Combined they make a mighty sight And love is a destination and I’m headed there for you Melt away all my fears with a warm summer breeze Let me fly away to the land of rum and trees Now I’m sitting at the bar with a tropical iced tea With a swish of lemonade and a vodka shot or three Yeah Paradise is in your head You can go any time you like Whether on a fishing trip Or a pirate’s life Paradise is in your head You can go anywhere you like Whether on a fishing trip Or a pirate’s life like me The pirate’s life like me Yeah for me it’s not that hard I just walk down to the beach When I get off my lazy ass and Get up on my feet Don’t you know you could do the same Just think of where you’ll be When you leave that TV and Head out to the sea Yeah Paradise is in your head You can go any time you like Whether on a fishing trip Or a pirate’s life Paradise is in your head You can go anywhere you like Yeah Whether on a fishing trip Or a pirate’s life like me Yeah Oh lord it’s all for me Come on it’s in your head Lord it’s in your head It’s in your head It’s in your head Lord it’s in your head (Unintelligible babbling) Paradise is in your head You can go any time you like Whether on a fishing trip Or the pirate’s life like me Paradise is in your head You can go anywhere you like Whether on a fishing trip Or the pirate’s life with me Lord it’s all in your head Come on it’s in your head Oh yeah Lord it’s in your head

Black heels click on marble floors, you’re a step in time Head held high on spinal lies and chiropractic magic Quoting our forefathers whose ideals you have betrayed A gilded gift to all mankind, or so you’d like to think Well, think again, think again my man Take this as my stand Against your poison tongue that pays for your home in the sand To the 85 who steal from our low-income lives Some day we’ll raise our pitchforks, throw your fortune in your eyes Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five Your arrogant Unscrupulous Malfeasance won’t be tolerated anymore We’ll vote you out And bring you down Experience this poverty we peons work around Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five We don’t want that shit Eighty five

Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah We used to live in a country Where everyone was free We had the right to silence We had the right to speech But now all that is gone You better watch what you say With surveillance every corner And police on every street Life ain’t what it used to be When we met peacefully Held up our signs Raised our voice to the powers that be We used to be free But we gave it up for TV We used to be free But we gave it up for… Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Pack up your guitars And rip up all your signs Your peaceful protest is met With violent minds Of those who control you They’ll never set you free They tell you go to church on Sundays And work all day ‘till five ‘Cause if you’re out there singing songs You’re bound to get five to life For loitering or being high Or any charge that you can’t find We used to be free But we gave it up for TV We used to be free But we gave it up for… Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah We used to be free But we gave it up for TV We used to be free But we gave it up for… I don’t have any children But someday I might And I hope that they will listen And that they will do Exactly what their heart Tells them they should do Because if you only listen To what they tell you to Then you’ll have no room for growth And no higher point of view You’ll never get to sing From any place you choose We used to be free But we gave it up for TV We used to be free But we gave it up for TV We used to be free But we gave it up for TV We used to be free But we gave it up for… Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah

Voice of Reason 04:05

I’ve tried my whole life just to have a good time And now I’ve got nothing to show I sit here alone with my bottle of wine Inches deep with my tortured soul Been singing for years People bored now to tears I start to feel old and tired A broken heart and broken dreams I’m back at the start I’m out of touch with my mind All that I’ve got left to lose is rhythm and blues Do I run and leave it all behind? No, I will be a voice of reason And I will be a trumpet of rhyme And I will keep singing forever, yeah ‘Cause that’s who my creator He made me to be The night conspires with the stars They say the path I walk is steep But in the music I believe Oh, in the music I believe I will be a voice of reason And I will be a trumpet of rhyme And I will keep singing forever, yeah ‘Cause that’s who my creator He made me to be

The Whereabouts California

At a time when rock’n’roll has become an ironic term, and bands have been replaced by wannabe celebrities whose live appearances are scripted marketing events, The Whereabouts want to remind you what rock music was all about in the first place: Not an onramp to Hollywood, but a road trip to wherever we end up. ... more
