The Axe

I never meant to hurt you like that
I never thought twice at all
I never realized that I was the rat
Now I'm waiting on the axe to fall
Tell me one more
Tell me one more time
I'm always as expected
I never think twice at all
I always mostly meant it
Now I'm waiting for the axe to fall

Make It Better

You could make it worse
Or you could make it better
You could break the curse
Or follow it forever
Make it better if you can
Try to be a better man
Than whatever you were yesterday
I'd make it better if I could
For the sake of something good
And the ones who haven't gone away
Not like yesterday...
You could make it worse
But you could be forgiven
Show me what I'm worth
And I'll show you why I'm livin'

Break It Easy

|
|

|
Tell me where are you going
Tell me where have you been
Tell me your little story
Tell me it all again
You better break it to me easy if you can
Break it to me easy while you can
Tell me in your opinion
Which is the better way
Burning your soul to cinder
Or letting it fade away

The Only One
02:44
|
|

You might be a lover
Waiting for the end
But you're the only one
The only one to call me friend
You could be a healer
And I'd be on the mend
But you're the only one
The only one to call me friend
So don't say it's news to you
'Cause I've told you before
Don't say it's news to you
If I don't feel like talking anymore
|

Did I tell you that I'm dreaming
Did I tell you that I care
Did I tell you that you're everything
Did I tell you I'm not there
Oh, When hearts begin to break
The first to go is the one you can't replace
Did I tell you that I'm sorry
Did I tell you that I tried
Did I tell you what you want to hear
Or did I tell a lie

[Lyrics adapted and reprinted]
---
Girl of my life
Love of my own
Trust in me and you'll not be alone
Let it be sure as there is a heaven
So let it be I shall always love you
And if ever I seek out another
And you cry to me that my vows were untrue
Then may my heart be cast into stone
And may the world go deaf when I moan
If I come to you begging your help and forgiveness that I let go
May I walk alone (I walk alone)
Here in your arms, kiss after kiss
I shall live just for moments like this
Evermore may I serve you in pleasure
Forever more, living only for you
And if someday the voice of a stranger
Comes beckoning me and I say we are through...
If the end of the earth comes tomorrow
And there's only a moment or two
Let me spend it alone and in sorrow
If I am afraid to die loving you

Carry me slowly, Avalon
Carry me on and on
Carry me slowly, Avalon
Carry me on and on...
When you fly
Your goodbye will bring you home
When you fail
Your farewell will guide you on

Famous Kids

Famous kids in all the famous places
Famous kids with all the famous faces
Famous kids, I'm just like you
Famous kids with nothing to do
Famous kids, make me famous too
Famous kids with all the famous voices
Famous kids are making famous choices

Happy Birthday 17
Happy days are all I need
Throw a party for me
A pity party of three
'Cause I don't wanna die for you
I just wanna cry for you
Happy Birthday 25
Ain't it good to be alive
Throw a party for you
A pity party of two

Real Tough Love

|
|

It's not nice and easy like a nickel's worth of gum
It's not bright and breezy like you're basking in the sun
But you're not gonna see me try to lie to anyone
It's Real
It's Tough
It's Love
It's not neat and tidy like a picnic in the park
It's not a week of fridays and fumbling in the dark
But you're not gonna find me tryin' to light another spark...
Some might say it'll pass away
When pushin' comes to shove
I'll bite the hand, you'll bruise the heel
But right or wrong, you've gotta feel
It's Real Tough Love

Beyond The Static
by Nick Piunti
supported by 9 fans who also own “Real Tough Love”
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'.

Summer Dream EP
by The Kickstand Band
supported by 7 fans who also own “Real Tough Love”
"15 songs crammed on one CD," this is how The Kickstand Band sum up their bright idea which consisted in gathering their three digital EPs on one CD for the joy of those who, like me, still enjoy having the music they love in physical format with cover art included.
