about

I've been writing and recording my own songs since the Ancient Days of the late sixties. That's a lot of practice! Recording ... more and mixing with a computer (a MacBook laptop, in my case) has allowed amazing, almost unlimited flexibility with respect to synthesizer voices, super-subtle effects, the layering of sounds, and so on. less

Track Name: Three Days
Three Days (M. Bendig)

Chorus
In three days
You say I've got to go
In three days
Well deep inside I know
It's my destiny
It's gonna get the best of me
In three days
In three days

Verse 1
Well I guess it's all right
Since I have no choice
Well I guess it's all right
Might as well rejoice
I'm on a ride to the sun

(Chorus)

Verse 2
Well I guess it's OK
Though I'm feeling sad (feeling sad)
Well I guess it's OK
I know I should be glad (should be glad)
My story has only begun

(Solo to Chorus)

No don't give me that (I don't want to take it)
I'm just gonna give it back
Gonna give it right on back

Verse 1
Can't take the blame you want to lay on me

Feels like I'm fallin' apart
Lyin' here with a lonely heart
Feels like I'm takin' the pain for you

Lyin' here in the judgment hall
Feels like I'm takin' the pain for you
Feels like the devil

Verse 1
Can't say why she's so hot
But when I saw her there in the parking lot
She hit me with the power of an atom bomb
I wanna meet your mom
I wanna meet your mom

Verse 2
Can't say why she's so cool
Wearin' those shades by the swimmin' pool
She got my heart poundin' like a big tom tom
I wanna meet your mom
I wanna meet your mom

I love you baby
But oo la la
I'm thinkin' maybe
I really need to get to know your ma

(Solo)

Can't say why she's so fine
Standin' right there in the checkout line

I wanna meet your mom
I wanna meet your mom

Vamp / Fade
Yeah I really mean it
Can I come over tonight
Come on baby

(Simon says) Take a big step back
If you do what Simon says to do

Verse 2
(Simon says) Take a look to your left
(Simon says) Take a look to your right
If you do what Simon says to do

And here he goes again

You're gonna be all right
(repeat & fade)

Veronica

Veronica wiped a tear from my eye
Veronica calmed my fear with a sigh
She has the touch of an angel

Verse 2
Veronica held my hand in the rain
Veronica said one man can't complain
She has the touch of an angel

Chorus
So why should I cry Veronica
I never shall die Veronica
I can't fight what's meant to be
But as long as you're with me
Veronica (I will make it)
Veronica (I'm gonna make it)

(Solo to Verse)

Bridge
She's an angel sent to me
She's an angel can't you see

Verse 3
Veronica take me home to the sun
Veronica make me know I'm the one
You have the touch of an angel

(Chorus)

Tag
Veronica (I will make it)
Track Name: Twist Your Life Around
Twist Your Life Around

Verse 1
The first time you fall
It might have been just a big mistake
It could've happened to anyone
It's nothing you can't shake
The second time you fall
The moment your face hits the ground
You know this is something big
That's gonna twist your life around
It's gonna twist your life around

Verse 2
The first time you fall
You were young, you didn't know
It could have happened to anyone
You swear it helped you grow
The second time you fall
There's no answer to be found
You know this is something big
That's gonna twist your life around
It's gonna twist your life around

Link
You didn't ask for this life
You got to rise up anyway

Middle
Even angels fall
Even angels fall

(Repeat Verse 1)

Tag
It's gonna twist your life around
Track Name: The Sons Of Cyrus
The Sons Of Cyrus
2-11-11

Verse 1
In troubled lands "patriots" can't find their way
As they gather 'round prophets with nothing to say
They're buying it all 'cos they don't have to pay
With pearls at their feet
They look up to meet
The eyes of the Sons of Cyrus

Verse 2
If anyone knows where the answer is found
He long ago traveled away from this town
Why bother to search when there's nothing around
And just as they fall
They look up and call
The names of the Sons of Cyrus

Verse 3
So you can look left and you can look right
But the vision you seek is just out of sight
So don't waste your time and continue to fight
But crippled by fear
They still cannot hear
The words of the Sons of Cyrus
Track Name: Falling Again
Falling Again

Verse
Falling again
I'm falling again
One man among men
I'm falling again

(Repeat)
Track Name: Take My Shirt
Take My Shirt

Verse 1
Seems like the more I give
The more they take away
Seems like I never win the prize
Seems like the more I live
The more things break away
I'm disappearing right before your eyes

Chorus
You can take my shirt, take my shoes
I have not got a lot to lose
So take it all, I don't mind
I've got everything I need
I'll be fine

Verse 2
Seems like the more I try
The more things fall apart
Seems like I'll never reach the sun
Seems like the more I cry
The more they call my heart
Seems like so much is left undone

(Chorus)

Bridge
It's only fair to warn you
I'll be back
So it's OK if you
Cut me a little slack

(Solo to Verse)

(Bridge)

(Repeat Verse 1)

(Chorus)

Tag
I'm not worried 'bout a thing
I'll be fine
Track Name: Crossroads
Crossroads

Prolog
Crossroads in the moonlight
And the wind blows by
Outside of the town
In the land of the sky....

Verse 1
That's where they go at night
Dark shapes seen by the moonlight
At the crossroads
At the crossroads

Verse 2
That's where men go to die
Where they call and they get no reply
At the crossroads
At the crossroads
Track Name: Destination Unknown

Track Name: Pull It Down
Pull It Down

Chorus
If a thing
Isn't pleasing to you
Pull It down
Pull it down
If the sun
Feels freezing to you
Pull it down
Pull it down

Verse 1
Don't leave it in the sky
For everyone to see
It's not like you need the fame
Beauty's in the eye
But I alone can see
It's not like you not to feed this flame

(Chorus)

Verse 2
Oh I can understand
The way they make you feel
It's not like I can't recall
So let me take your hand
'Cos I know you for real
It's not like me not to break your fall

(Chorus)

Middle
(Down) Pull it down
Baby make it fast
(Down) Pull it down
Baby make it last

Vamp
Down
Pull it down
Pull it down
Pull it down

Track Name: Gone Too Long
Gone Too Long

Verse 1
Close your eyes now
Go to sleep
It's been a busy day
Making memories for you to keep
And never give away

Chorus
I will see you when your sleep is through
We'll be together when the day is new
So go to sleep
But don't be gone too long....

Verse 2
Close your eyes now
Go to sleep
I will keep you warm
Protected from the darkness deep
Sheltered from the storm

(Chorus)

(Solo to Verse)

(Chorus)

So go to sleep
But don't be gone too long....
