Thanks and much love to the entire Edwards Family: Mom, Dad, Darren, Abby, Dale, Drew, Dana, John, Herminee, Topanga and Chelsea Marie (RIP), Matt Favazza and family, John (My personal guitar hero) and Lisa, Kip (You really do kick ass), Chris (I will ALWAYS be disrespectfully yours) and Candice. Thanks to heroes who remind me that I still love Rock and Roll. S.M.F. 4 Life. "Island of You" is dedicated to S.T.B.
People always told me that I was a good metal drummer and nothing more. If it wasn't for the Millions, I might not even be playing drums anymore. I would like to thank to Dan, Johnny, and Chris for giving a shit about me when no one else would and for their incredible music.
Love and thanks to Buzz and Tiki for tireless support, Jen and Tony for timely encouragement, The DeBolt family for a heck of a party, Dave, Luis, Patty, Jan, Mark and Garcia for their patience, Tony and Michelle for their friendship, Thomas Edison for inventing the phonograph, my bandmates: Dan, Johnny and Kip for cheering me on when life sucked and celebrating with me while life rocks, an Ellensohn to be named later for inspiration, and Candice who will always be twice the woman that I deserve.
Dedicated to the memory of Brian "Slappy" Ennenbach... I really wanted you to hear this one. Love to Mom (miss you), Dad, Gail, James, John, Pat, Brian & Meg. Thanks to Dan for his fire, Chris for patience & generosity, and Kip for being the MVP on this record. Thanks to guitars and amplifiers... you make me so very happy. Most of all, love and appreciation to Lisa. It will always feel Brand New.
I've got to cure this broken heart
And you never liked me from the start
I fell into lust with someone new
But believe me
You were always on my mind
I'm off the deep end
I'd rather burn out than fade away with you
'Cause I've got a weakness
It's always around me
Surrounds me
Confounds me
What can I do?
You went away with all your girlfriends
They never liked me from the start
You fell into lust with someguy new
And I believed you
I was always on your mind
CHORUS
GUITAR SOLO: Fox
CHORUS
back to top
Don't tell me baby
I don't wanna know
That happy ending
It's just a television show
I'm not looking around
I'm not looking inside
All I hear is every white lie
Across this great divide
We're Through
I'm nothing like you
You think I'm Charlie Parker
I feel like Motley Crue
And babe you know we're through
We're on a downward glide
We've got a rotten plan
You've got illusions of amateur
I've got no attention span
I'm not looking around
I'm not looking inside
All I hear is every white lie
Across this great divide
We're Through
I'm nothing like you
You think I'm Charlie Parker
I feel like Motley Crue
Or Blink 182
We're Through
I'm nothing like you
We're Through
I'm nothing like you
You think I'm Charlie Parker
I feel like Motley Crue
And babe you know we're through
Diss Me Don't Diss Me I'm Disrespectfully Yours
Disappoint me yet again
Lie right to my face
Disappear in to yourself
In a suicidal embrace
Pick a side apology denied
Diss Me Don't Diss Me
I'm Disrespectfully Yours
Diss Me D-d-d-diss me
I'm disrespectfully yours
Disable me in your mind
Cut me to the quick
Disenchanted fairy tales
You've got to get your kicks
Pick a side apology denied
Pick a word to cut my wounded pride
Diss Me Don't Diss Me
I'm Disrespectfully Yours
Diss Me D-d-d-diss me
I'm disrespectfully yours
Patronizing innuendo you're so insecure
Diss Me Don't Diss Me
I'm Disrespectfully Yours
Tiptoe through tirades again
Eggshells and cavalcades again
Afraid to breathe for knocking down
The house of cards you hang around
(Here's my side)
GUITAR SOLO: Fox
Diss Me Don't Diss Me
I'm Disrespectfully Yours
Diss Me D-d-d-diss me
I'm disrespectfully yours
Patronizing innuendo you're so insecure
Diss Me Don't Diss Me
I'm Disrespectfully Yours
The stars are out
The moon is shining down
Walking hand in hand
We float above the ground
So wide awake
But could this be a dream?
What's wrong with us?
We've let it slip away
Took all that we built
Sold it for today
So don't look back
And don't hold on too tight
It wasn't right
I'm stranded
Abandoned
Right before your eyes
On an Island of You
Arm's length you kept
Never letting show
You starved me 'til I fell
But I want you to know
I still think of you
But we're better off this way
I couldn't stay
I'm stranded
Abandoned
Right before your eyes
On an Island of You
Frustrated
Understated
Always alone and cold
On an Island of You
And I won't forget
I hoped you'd be OK there
And I don't regret
Losing You
GUITAR SOLO: Fox
The stars were out
The moon was shining down
Walking hand in hand
We float above the ground
I'm stranded
Abandoned
Right before your eyes
On an Island of You
Frustrated
Understated
Always alone and cold
On an Island of You
You don't even know me
You act like I was looking for you
I wish hadn't come this way
I wish I hadn't come here alone
Cos I don't want a duel
And I'm not gonna do what you've done
Even though I'm home again
I ache and I'm so sick inside
I want to forget you
But something inside of me died
Shake my head in the mirror
I don't know what I should have tried
Stay down, boy
You should've stayed down
GUITAR SOLO: Johnny
Even though I'm home again
I ache and I'm so sick inside
I want to forget you
But something inside of me died
Shake my head in the mirror
I don't know what I should have tried
Last night I tried to tell you everything's okay
A little voice inside of tried to keep the simple truth at bay
I never saw you
Sadder than I saw you on that sad summer night
Bonfire light
Suddenly went cold
I'll never shake you Shake You
I won't mistake you for my own
Double down and just leave me alone
Faded like a photograph from many years ago
The time for us has come and gone like a cancelled t.v. show
Don't you remember
All the times you cried and tried to reason away
Doubt and dismay
How could you be so bold
I'll never shake you Shake You
I won't mistake you for my own
Double down and just leave me alone
Words she said keep playing in my head
You knocked me down and left me for dead
GUITAR SOLO: Johnny
Words she said keep playing in my head
You knocked me down and left me for dead
I'll never shake you Shake You
I won't mistake you for my own
Double down and just leave me alone
Dreamed about you once again…last night
Got your wedding invitation in the mail
Girls like you, you just chill my cool
You keep changing your mind
You're so cruel when you're kind
Love is blind
I heard you want me…
And that you need me
You sure got a peculiar way of showin' it
Over his shoulder you're blowin kisses…wink wink
Between my heart and my head it's so impossible to think
No need to figure out what's worse…any more
The way you treat me or how I keep coming back for more
Guys like me, we just fill your spree
Rearranging my mind
It's so blunt when you find
Love is blind
I heard you want me…
Might say you need me
But you sure got a peculiar way of showin' it
You're all about me…
Can't live without me
Strange ways ignore the truth discard the obvious
GUITAR SOLO: Johnny
I heard you want me…
You want me not
And that you need me
You need me not
You said you loved me
You love me not
I think you hate me
Guys like me, we just fill your spree
Rearranging my mind
It's so blunt when you find
Love is blind
Chorus (2X)
back to top
The flow was chillin' in his curdled brain
Just like Eddie Munster high on nova-cocaine
His story problems, always added all up to pain
He bet it all on a played out horse
Always out to pasture, never had The Force
He tells himself that he's still running the race of course
Bad apples, sour grapes
Hourglass sand
A kept man, with broken plans
Stabbed him in the front again
You Give Up 5X
You Give It Away
That's right
She wished her life was more like HBO
Glamourous and amorous and shallow with a glow
It's not what you know, It's just what she's got to show
She's selling, I'm so sold
The joke's on me
A Kept man with broken plans
To be or not to be
You Give Up 5X
You Give It Away
That's right
HARMONY GUITAR SOLO: Johnny and Fox
I've had it up to – Hero
With adding up to - Zero
Chorus
back to top
I've been holdin' my breath
But I never got through
All I ever got from you
Is everything I shouldn't do
But I tried not to notice every falsification
And pretend not to see all your mental retardation
Defend to my friends every bullshit move
You threw down every night with nothing to prove
Does anyone remember laughter?
Can anyone decipher what it is they're after?
I'm so lame
Ain't you glad I'm gone?
I'm so lame
So sullen and withdrawn
So I tried to be cooler
But I knew it wouldn't take
I was fakin' with the fakers
And I felt so fuckin' fake
But I tried not to notice every falsification
And pretend not to see all your mental retardation
Defend to my friends every bullshit move
You threw down every night with nothing to prove
Does anyone remember laughter?
Can anyone decipher what it is you're after?
I'm so lame
Ain't you glad I'm gone?
I'm so lame
So sullen and withdrawn
I'm rubber and you're glue
Every word I say...
GUITAR SOLO 1: Fox
GUITAR SOLO 2: Johnny
GUITAR SOLO 3: Fox
Does anyone remember laughter?
Can anyone decipher what it is they're after?
I'm so lame
Ain't you glad I'm gone?
I'm so lame
Sullen and withdrawn
GUITAR SOLO OUT: Johnny
back to top
I'm not satisfied
I'm fit to be tied
Communication breaking
Down On my luck again
Can't believe how long it's been
Since I felt like laughing
And then She thinks it's over
One more night alone with her tv
Then she thinks it over
Decides she could be with me
Well I'm afraid I disagree
She's got everything wants
Everything she needs
Everything's not me
I've been waiting for
Subtle signs of something more
But they just never
Came on way to strong
Never liked my favorite songs
Now they're gone forever
And she thinks it's over
All the little things came to a head
And she thinks it over
And she lets the end begin again
Chorus
Ask and she'll deny
She'd love to see me cry
But I can't shed a tear to make up her mind
Chorus
A brand new car some cigarettes
remote control for her tv set
A little boy a little girl
First class ticket around the world
A set of keys
Some DVDs
Leather skirt cut above her knees
And one more thing
That brand new ring
Must have been something wrong with the old one
Everything she needs
Everything but me
GUITAR SOLO OUT: Johnny
back to top
Home again
Lovin' my empty life
I'm calling all my hopeless friends
Just like me
Pretending we're all free
And living for our ESPN
I just wanna be normal
Normal just like you
I just wanna be normal
A member of the chosen few
Hooray for me
That girly, so pretty
She thinks I'm a little boy scout
Don't be alarmed
You're safe with me
As long as little wifey don't find out
I just wanna be normal
Normal just like you
I just wanna be normal
A member of the chosen few
GUITAR SOLO:Fox
(I wanna be like you)
back to top
If I could only be
Half the man you think you see in me
I'd feel you twice the woman
Twice the woman make you stop and stare
When she ain't trying don't try to deny
Her comic timing and her fashion flair
A smile implying a death defying lust for life
If I could only be
Half the man you think you see in me
I'd feel you twice the woman
Twice the woman she's always there
Right beside you to protect and guide you
Make you fell just like Millionaire
A smile implying a death defying lust for life
If I could only be
Half the man you think you see in me
I'd feel you twice the woman
If I could only try to be
Anything except your minor key
I'd feel you twice the woman in you
Twice the woman in you
GUITAR SOLO: Johnny
If I could only be
Half the man you think you see in me
I'd feel you twice the woman
If I could only try to be
Anything except your minor key
I'd feel you twice the woman in you
Twice the woman in you
Ooh – he's got swimmin' pools
Private jets and money fools
Yeah – smash a pretty guitar
Sleepy and bored in a foreign car
Make the scene and don't hideaway
Just get it on high prime
Rake the green
And don't burn or fade before it's time
Trying to hold on
To little rock and roll dreams
Getting older
Keepin' a light on
And before too long
The boy became a man that was used up
Shout – he had to let it out
No someday smiles to laugh about
Dropped he's fallin' from the top
But he won't change he'll never stop
Coming clean he can't justify
Where and why and how time flies
It's too late
He can't help himself or kill the pain
Trying to hold on
To little rock and roll dreams
Getting older
Keepin' a light on
And before too long
The boy became a man that was used up
He makes me sick
I think he wants to quit
Says he's sick and tired of all this shit
Well he's never satisfied
He cries awake at night
Trying to find a way
Get me outta this rock and roll hell
GUITAR SOLO: Johnny
Now – he's got broken vans
Credit cards and critic pans
See - you can watch him bleed
Broken hearts guaranteed
They never gave him no holiday
So far beyond his prime time
The other day the boy passed away
And left us so sad
CHORUS (2X)
