Delicate Stretch of the Seems
I Don’t Blame
[verse]
I’ve often wondered what people do
Deep in a sleepless night
My mind is racing with
A million moments of my life
[chorus]
And I Don’t Blame Society
For who I am
And I Don’t Blame T.V. reality
For what I say
[verse]
Torn between the time I have
And the time I need to get by
Money maybe’s and the women
I’m crazy to let slip by
[chorus]
And I Don’t Blame Parenting
For my reactions
And I Don’t Blame Burocracy
For my stability
[solo]
[bridge]
You over analyze
that which you think is there
[chorus]
And I Don’t Blame Society
For who I am
And I Don’t Blame T.V. reality
For what I say
[chorus]
And I Don’t Blame Parenting
For my reactions
And I Don’t Blame Burocracy
For my stability

Sex (everybody’s talkin’ ’bout)
[verse]
What can I do it’s everywhere I turn on t.v.
What do you when it occupies your mind
They tell you to do preachers crying for what should be
Listen do you do hypocracy makes me want to unwind
[verse]
We give ’em power to regulate the sex in our lives
They got a tower to crush the pornographic disease
I’ve got a shower to take care of what comes in our eyes
But watch us cower when we want to speak freely
[chorus]
Everybody’s listenin’ to SEX (on Howard Stern) (hear no evil)
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout SEX (on Donahue) (speak no evil)
[verse]
Such a fine line there’s a diference between yours and mine
But it’s my dime when it’s paid it’ll fill my head
And if the right kind preachers blessing for what comes in nine
But due to wrong time makes me wish for dead
[chorus]
Everybody’s listenin’ to SEX (on Howard Stern) (hear no evil)
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout SEX (on Donahue) (speak no evil)
Everybody’s blinded by SEX (on the billboard) (see no evil)
[bridge]
Take a look around and if you don’t like what you see
Then turn off the t.v.
Take a listen to the world around you don’t offend so easily
Lose the radio Lose the misery
[chorus]
Everybody’s listenin’ to SEX (on Howard Stern) (hear no evil)
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout SEX (on Donahue) (speak no evil)
[chorus]
Everybody’s listenin’ to SEX (on Howard Stern) (hear no evil)
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout SEX (on Donahue) (speak no evil)
Everybody’s blinded by SEX (on the billboard) (see no evil)

Politics
[verse]
Simple thought is lost
In the power of the pen
Primal art is crushed
By the crime of currency
[verse]
Its a shame to compete
On the wings of a dream
When talent isn’t complete
It steals from where it seems to be
[chorus]
Acts of illusion mass confusion
Acts of enormity breeds false unity
This land has its Politics
Individuals don’t stick with it
That makes a strong case for shit
That hand has its Politics
[verse]
Where did the story line go
They don’t draw they just trace
Its like they’ve trashed the language
And with it creative pace
[chorus]
Acts of illusion mass confusion
Acts of enormity breeds false unity
This land has its Politics
Individuals don’t stick with it
That makes a strong case for shit
That hand has its Politics
[solo]

Factoids:
1. The opening segment is a very large number of overdubs for the crowd that grows as it goes.
2. Played on 7string guitar and the verse is a blues style riff in 5/4, disjointed, much like politicians.

[verse]
Come (come) be (be) blinded
The eagle eye
For he who sights no God
[verse]
Say (say) don’t (don’t) listen
The explicit ear
For he who hears in absense
[verse]
Come (come) say (say) silence
The touched tongue
For he who speaks of evil
[outro]
Please excuse my ignorance
As I couldn’t stand a chance
To lose my virginity
With a whore none can
See, Hear, or Say

Smell the Rain
[verse]
Another drop smeared my cheek today
Tears filled with pain stream away
A passing glance led me to believe
She wasn’t interested in my face
[chorus]
I stroll streets in isolation
I smell the rain passing on the pain
I take the light of another day
I forget the smell of rain again
[verse]
Life seems to take so much time
While we search for the answers why
Closer energy slowly passes out of view
Change stays as a constant friend
[chorus]
I stroll streets in isolation
I smell the rain passing on the pain
I take the light of another day
I forget the smell of rain again
[verse]
Join my hands in harmony
To catch that which falls over me
Sip from the well I have made
I’m to be whole in a different shade
[chorus]
I stroll streets in isolation
I smell the rain passing on the pain
I take the light of another day
I forget the smell of rain again
[chorus]
I stroll streets in isolation
I smell the rain passing on the pain
I take the light of another day
I forget the smell of rain again
[bridge]
Lonely lines pray tonight
Long distant memories speak delight
Renewed ties hold short but strong
Never do our lives stage a great show
[outro]
Smell the Rain
Smell the Rain
Smell the Rain
Smell the Rain
Smell the Rain
Smell the Rain
Smell the Rain
Smell the Rain

Breezes
There are no lyrics for this song. Its an instrumental. If you really need words for it, think about Breezes and winds. Then write some of your own words. Once you’re done, e-mail them to me. I’ll post ’em here for the world to see.

…With You
[verse]
Stand tall in the face of adversity
For you won’t fall when you are free
Step lightly away from animosity
And your friends won’t believe what they see
[verse]
I can face the heat of criticism
For my actions show I don’t lie
I can feel the tongue of sarcasm
But it fails to hold until I die
[chorus]
Walk with you
Talk with you
Your strength will be my guide
Walk with you
Talk with you
I’ve got nothing to hide
Walk with you
Talk with you
When I’m with you
[verse]
We can climb atop the highest mountain
And our future crystal clear it will be
For whatever may be for certain
We can spread our wings and fly today
[chorus]
Walk with you
Talk with you
Your strength will be my guide
Walk with you
Talk with you
I’ve got nothing to hide
Walk with you
Talk with you
When I’m with you
[solo]
[chorus]
Walk with you
Talk with you
Your strength will be my guide
Walk with you
Talk with you
I’ve got nothing to hide
Walk with you
Talk with you
When I’m with you
[chorus]
Walk with you
Talk with you
Your strength will be my guide
Walk with you
Talk with you
I’ve got nothing to hide
Walk with you
Talk with you
When I’m with you

Factoids:
1. When Jeff first heard this being pieced together during recording he stated: “This will never work” once finished, mixed and done he rescinded his remark by saying: “That’s is an extremely cool mix of different timings”.
2. The bass is a very heavy melodic factor to the song.

Ties Are Truly Bound
[verse]
Christ I’d say it’s time to pray for rain
To quench the drought my life became
I’m well beyond the burning and the pain
I’ve got to be somewhere ahead of here
[verse]
Christ I’d say it’s time to go insane
To free the energy of my sun
Would you be willing to share just the same
And could you do anything for this one
[pre chorus]
Miracles can happen
and the earth will turn again
Miracles can happen
push the wall around again
[chorus]
Gravity keeps you rooted to the ground
we’re not connected but our
Ties Are Truly Bound
But my world lets me float all around
we’re so addicted though our
Ties Are Truly Bound
[verse]
When I’d done having prayed for fucking rain
I’ll watch the water run under my sun
I’ve the means and the trouble is gone again
Someday my dog will see his day
[pre chorus]
Miracles can happen
and the earth will turn again
Miracles can happen
push the wall around again
[chorus]
Gravity keeps you rooted to the ground
we’re not connected but our
Ties Are Truly Bound
But my world lets me float all around
we’re so addicted though our
Ties Are Truly Bound
[solo]

Gravity keeps you rooted to the ground

How Do You Show
[verse]
I climbed my wall today
Got tired of what’s inside to say
Stared upon our lonely land
Then turned to face a brave new day
[verse]
Faced with so many so many different choices
Who knows which path which path to choose
And when you go down is there a return
That’s the beauty the beauty you will lose
[chorus]
What do you believe
What do you conceive
What do you want from me
What do you really see
How do you know
How do you love
How do you show
[verse]
So set out strong to make a claim
Don’t roll the dice its better to take aim
Make a break from the real crap
Or end up lost and called insane
[bridge]
I can’t believe what its like to admit mediocrity
Its rather like I’m saying there’s no you
There’s no me
[chorus]
What do you believe
What do you conceive
What do you want from me
What do you really see
How do you know
How do you love
How do you show
[solo]
[bridge]
I can’t believe what its like to admit mediocrity
Its rather like I’m saying there’s no you
There’s no me
[chorus]
What do you believe
What do you conceive
What do you want from me
What do you really see
How do you know
How do you love
How do you show
[chorus]
What do you believe
What do you conceive
What do you want from me
What do you really see
How do you know
How do you love
How do you show

Barricades of Hate
[verse]
There is a fightin’
Deep in the division lands
There is a cryin’
From a north and south hands
[verse]
Words of hatin’
Flow from the religious irate
Packs of troop movin’
To conquere another’s traits
[chorus]
Your side
My side
Whose side
Shall we break down the Barricades of Hate
Your truth
My truth
The whole truth
Lets say we break down the Barricades of Hate
[verse]
When we’re a fightin’
I can feel the tears of pain
Its not alright an’
In the end its all in vain

Your side

Shall we break down the Barricades of Hate
Your truth
My truth
The whole truth
Lets say we break down the Barricades of Hate

Egoman
[verse]
Look at the man standing over there with an Entourage
Just who the hell does he think he is with his hair so big
People kissing his ass one by one where is their courage
Loftier than thou flips the hair back and asks can you dig
[chorus]
Egoman
Who ‘s the best in the land
Egoman
Your head ‘s too big for your britches
Egoman
You best look out or you’ll need stitches
Egoman
Its time to bring it down if you can
[verse]
How did you get that position in life without a fight
How have you forgotten the small feet that brought you here
Where it did it go and dissipate to its lost from sight
Would you really like to remain in the cold spot light
[chorus]
Egoman
Who ‘s the best in the land
Egoman
Your head ‘s too big for your britches
Egoman
You best look out or you’ll need stitches
Egoman
Its time to bring it down if you can

Factoids:
1. Originally written for an actor, Patrick Muldoon, attempting to do a music career – when the album didn’t happen, I kept the tune.
2. There are vocal harmonies that fade in in spots of the chorus that are very dissonant – on purpose. That idea was floated to me by Jeff and a song I had worked on from him.

Coming Home
[verse]
By part of some Grand Design
I’m at an airport reading Vital Signs
Sometimes it’s a Marathon
To arrive for holiday Dreamlines
[verse]
Mystic Rhythms tie our families
As Emotion Detectors kill disease
The Big Wheel spins past dawn
And I arrive to familiar Territories
[chorus]
You Bet Your Life I Coming Home
The Speed of Love helps My Coming Home
We’re Closer To The Heart When Coming Home
I’ll be in The Camera Eye On Coming Home
[verse]
Middle Town Dreams seem to fade away
As a Working Man breaks his back for pay
[pre chorus]
To give Something For Nothing on that Show Don’t Tell christmas day
[chorus]
You Bet Your Life I Coming Home
The Speed of Love helps My Coming Home
We’re Closer To The Heart When Coming Home
I’ll be in The Camera Eye On Coming Home
[solo]
[chorus]
You Bet Your Life I Coming Home
The Speed of Love helps My Coming Home
We’re Closer To The Heart When Coming Home
I’ll be in The Camera Eye On Coming Home
[bridge]
When you Stick It Out on your own Freewill
You’ll find a Ghost Of A Chance for the Limelight still
[chorus]
You Bet Your Life I Coming Home
The Speed of Love helps My Coming Home
We’re Closer To The Heart When Coming Home
I’ll be in The Camera Eye On Coming Home

Factoids:
1. Every single lyric line contains a title from a RUSH song. I out that now, but originally, I waited until a fan figured it out before I explained it to anyone. Yes it is a tribute.
2. Try counting through this song – you win a prize if you can tell me all the time signatures used.

Spiral Event
[verse]
It’s been said that someone or something
Can live only as long as the last to remember it
And so we learn how the truth forgets
While the lies forge their way up front
[verse]
I know I’ve heard somewhere and sometimes
That a second guess is as good as givin’ up
But I believe I’ve learned that we don’t mind
And in the end it means we all regret
[chorus]
Desperate times call for desperate measures
The human race is losing all its valued treasures
Misplaced lines or mis-held discontent
And our meaning dwindles in a Spiral Event
[instrumental]
[chorus]
Desperate times call for desperate measures
The human race is losing all its valued treasures
Misplaced lines or mis-held discontent
And our meaning dwindles in a Spiral Event
[verse]
Though it happens to our history
A small white one sneaks through the shield
To per-petuate the catch 2 2
But know lies tear apart heart and soul
[chorus]
Desperate times call for desperate measures
The human race is losing all its valued treasures
Misplaced lines or mis-held discontent
And our meaning dwindles in a Spiral Event
[chorus]
Desperate times call for desperate measures (desperate times)
The human race is losing all its valued treasures (human race)
Misplaced lines or mis-held discontent (misplaced lines)
And our meaning dwindles in a Spiral Event (down in a spiral event)

Beside the Lies
[verse]
Feeling terrified
No more walls to hide behind
Fearless rejection
All the hope slowly passing by
[chorus]
For all the effort immortalized
Support gives way to hidden guise
Pass the buck and close your eyes
Its livin’ Beside the Lies
[verse]
Frightened emotion
Steps along a wounded ID
[bridge]
Pressure builds in intensity
Do your homework
And you will see
There is another reality
[chorus]
For all the effort immortalized
Support gives way to hidden guise
Pass the buck and close your eyes
Its livin’ Beside the Lies
[instrumental]
[verse]
Tragic reaction
Withdraw behind a new line
Re-route objective
Falls on toward a side light
[chorus]
For all the effort immortalized
Support gives way to hidden guise
Pass the buck and close your eyes
Its livin’ Beside the Lies
[bridge]
Stand fast holding dignity
Do your homework
And you will see
There is another reality
[chorus]
For all the effort immortalized
Support gives way to hidden guise
Pass the buck and close your eyes
Its livin’ Beside the Lies
[chorus]
For all the effort immortalized
Support gives way to hidden guise
Pass the buck and close your eyes
Its livin’ Beside the Lies

That’s What It Is
[verse]
Can you tell me what it is that makes you happy
And is it me that is always on your mind
Well don’t just stand there I think I want to know more
Can you tell me the reasons that make you free
[pre chorus]
You push me to the wall and I think I’m gonna cry again
I want you so much I think I’m willing to go insane
[chorus]
That’s What it is
That’s what makes me happy
That’s What it is
That’s what keeps me sane
That’w What it is
Love is what it is
[verse]
Would you ever think to turn your back on me
Without you I believe I’d be another empty shell
Well lets walk the coals I wanna say what the hell
Don’t you think you really need someone like me
[pre chorus]
You push me to the wall and I think I’m gonna cry again
I want you so much I think I’m willing to go insane
[chorus]
That’s What it is
That’s what makes me happy
That’s What it is
That’s what keeps me sane
That’w What it is
Love is what it is
[instrumental]
