Blue Blockers
BY TheSpins
Cherry chapstick, torn jean jacket,
looking through a blue-blocker sunset, grinnin to a stones song next to me
Bench seat, dead heat, red camaro off the concrete, look at me that way won’t you honey
Coolest baby, in the whole wide world, there's something you can't figure about that kinda girl
Tell me that you'll always love me so, one more time honey before I go!
Cherry cola, orange cream soda, wanna see how fast you can fold me, baby got me actin’ like a child now
Caught you laughing, my distraction,
grey faded vinyl classic, just as sweet as custard pie
My, oh, my how you caught my eye
There’s no space left in this town for you & I
Coolest baby, in the whole wide world, there's something you can't figure, about that kinda girl
Tell me that you'll always love me so, one more time, one more time baby, alright!
The Gangster’s Ball
BY TheSpins
Dancing in a sundress,
a beautiful brunette by my side
Gain some confidence, a few drinks and doubts will subside
Breaking the silence, the band takes away a few hours
Drive along the boulevard,
reminds of how sweet you are
So you grab me, and I grab you, and you say to me, and I say to you
What a night, such a sight,
can't believe that were alive,
In the city, the fluorescent glow letting time goon, ride along, drive along
Well versed in her,
conversation never one to bore
Poised and proper,
as her eyes fall to the floor
Swaying on tile,
in black and white just for a while
A bittersweet evening as the lights go out, with a sideways smile
So you grab me, and I grab you, and you say to me, and I say to you
What a night, such a sight,
I can't believe that were alive,
In the city, fluorescent glow letting our time go on, ride along, drive along
The Duet
BY TheSpins
Sweet and peaceful, in the back of a Century,
roll the tape and film the scene
And we all love that feeling,
but not many want to give in,
I guess tonight is better than tomorrow
So put all my chips on red
Just do what I said it'll all be worth it
At the end of the day, if they roll my way
They'll have to find another to fill my place
Screen door and wind chimes selling all of my rhymes,
with good time you may find that may I be your guy
Need a wallet for my duet, but still they can all do it with one hand, it’s so easy to understand
They really want it, and I guess I‘ve seen it
A glimpse of a movie, that everyone worships
Eyes are the camera, and I am the ticket
If you can just coast by, then why even risk it
Broken Records
BY TheSpins
All my favorite records are broken
It seems pretty fitting given the circumstances
A quiet night fire light perfect for a bent White Stripes album
I expected nothing less I guess,
you know the rest
Flirtatious evening, hopeful visions, I’d like to see them, see it through
What more can one ask, of the mess that, has become, what we now call life
All my favorite songs have strings attached
They narrate every memory that I’ve ever had
But tonight will be different,
I’m indifferent if it isn’t
Cause I’ve pushed my luck far enough, that’s right Right?
Flirtatious evening, hopeful visions, I’d like to see them, see it through
What more can one ask, of the mess that, has become, what we now call life
Every weekend I get colder, search for true love around the corner
Strangers keep me occupied, but surely I don’t mind the…
Flirtatious evening, hopeful visions, I’d like to see them, see it through
What more can one ask, of the mess that, has become, what we now call life
Highway Run
BY TheSpins
City lights, blind the stars, millions above but I can't see at all, I'm waiting to leave it behind
As I stand, on the edge, of sanity and freedoms ridge, it mocks me, from a thousand miles away
Travel far, get some rest, as old Jimmy said the west is the best, but hopefully I won't meet The End
66 to 1, coastal highways
with setting suns, a picture I long to take. Even Plant would suggest, to take that risk get on that jet, but still, it's a new concept
And he promised, a girl, that plays guitar with flowers curled,
in her long brown hair
Just tell me, please God tell me
she's really there
It's my home away from home
A place where the music can flow
I just want to run until there's nothing left
I'll just take a guitar please hold the press,
may head west
Meet Me in the Limelight
BY TheSpins
Another, broken vinyl, still I swear I’m trying
Kids masked with lights and wires, and closed minds make me so tired of lazy conversation, I promise you I’ll make it
I may be down but be damn sure I’m dedicated
All we have left is boxes in the attic,
a life completely built for aesthetic
So why not meet me in limelight I’ll let you beat me to the punchline, I really hope to see you there my friends
Your nonchalant philosophy, while I’ve got things change and places to be
Now don’t you dream too crazy,
you need a house, a car, a payment
You’re sure well dressed, but your friends are gone the camera knows you best In 15 years, I hope you can forget
All we have left is boxes in the attic,
a life completely built for aesthetic
So why not meet me in limelight I'll let you beat me to the punchline, I really hope to see you there my friends
Would you mind telling me, what is wrong, sure they look cool, and sure you’re having fun
Don’t you like progress, I said I don’t mind,
You’re with us or against us, but I know I’m in the right
Our faces to the fire, we must enjoy the way, the burn
or the colors, or just the idea of flames
Now she keeps screaming, authenticity,
I keep telling her, in your fucking dreams
Oh the days are gone you know it, the substance lost not much to show, undefeated I cannot be defeated
So why not meet me in limelight the joke was the nightlife,
I really need to be there my friend
To You and Yours
BY TheSpins
Background vocals: Emilee Biondi, Kate Melvin, Varessa Staana
A candle stick dinner, in the middle of the winter,
The corners stand laden with aroma: evergreen
Enjoyment you’ve bundled with colored anticipation
Even fire waits patiently for Christmas Eve
Oh darling, there’s no reason for you to leave
Oh darling, it’s that season again
A merry December to you and all of yours
Won’t you join me in name of good cheer?
The market lay closed, topped with white powdered snow
Today is day just before
The shuffling people fight the barren winds
To return home, next to the fireplace again
And to see that grin, Tonight is night just before For the streets sit in silence as the snow dances down
While lights watch carefully for a stranger to walk around
Oh darling, there’s no reason for you to leave
Oh darling, it’s that season again
A merry December to you and all of yours
Won’t you join me in name of cheer?
Oh darling, there’s no reason for you to leave
Oh darling, it’s that season again
A merry December to you and all of yours
Won’t you join me in name of cheer?
Our Deel
BY TheSpins
Oh I will not, ever read your t-shirt
The frivolous use of spoken word
Your lack of exclamation is bumming me out
The manner in which you speak is absurd
Try again, these are my parting words to you my friend
I will take what they give me, oh Jimmy looks back
As for Jenni, you know she’s still, well she’s running fast
From a future that involves a mind of the past
You don’t understand your reasoning, I don’t understand you much
It looks good and it sells, but that’s the thing
Why don’t you try again, I am certainly young but I’ve seen the end
I will take what they give me, oh jimmy looks back
As for Jenni, you know she’s still, well she’s running fast
From a future that involves a mind of the past
