Debut CD - The Twenty Second Century.

1. 509 (the Superhero Song)
(c) Copyright 2007

Notes: This song was written before the Will Smith movie "Hancock".

Verse 1
My neighbor’s name is zero
He’s a super hero
But not the comic book kind, he smokes too much and drinks all the time
The ladies hate his x-ray vision
He’s always on a secret mission
Never worrys who will get him there, he puts on a cape and flies through the air

Chorus
This guy is one of a kind
He’s down the hall in apartment 509
Just another neighbor of mine

Verse 2
(same as verse 1)

Chorus

Bridge
I swear I saw him on the late show last night
He sure leads a charmed life
Would you tell the truth or keep a disguise?
It’s not for me to decide

Guitar solo then chorus out

2. Let Me Be
(Tuned to drop “D”)
(c) Copyright 2007

Notes: This song received an honorable mention for being in the top 500 of Billboard Magazine's 2009 song writing contest. It is also due to be re-released via RNR (Tuscon, AZ) on their upcoming compilation CD.

Verse 1
Would you be the one to tempt me
Would you be the one to set me free
I got a little bit of bad news
This is just the way it has to be

Chorus
Would you let me be
I guess I’m running out of patience
Simple, why can’t you see
We’re never gonna bridge the distance

Verse 2
I never took you for your money
I never liked your personality
I guess it’s good I’m not a blind man
I would have missed your only quality

Chorus into guitarsolo back to Chorus and bass solo out

3. Life in Space
(c) Copyright 2007

Notes: The band took it's name from the one line in this song.

Verse 1
When I was young I broke the law
My mother cried the day
They sentenced me to 50 years in planetary trade
Lonliness will drive you mad, the job it hardly pays
I never get vacations, I’m treated like a slave
I’m a 22nd century two bit thug
I could’ve had a good life
But I screwed it up
16 years and 30 days until my debt is paid
When it is I’m gonna get a little place in the shade

Chorus
Sailing thru the vacuum
That’s my life in space
Don’t let anyone ever tell you it’s a good life
They don’t know what I face

Verse 2
I swear I didn’t know I hit the solar array
I was dropping out of warp speed
I guess I lost my way
Working in this quadrant, man it’s getting me down
I could’ve hit the big time, Could’ve left this town
But I’m a 22nd century two bit thug
Try to make a living
Try to make a buck
Lonliness it’s always there it’s always on my mind
Instead of doing what I want I’m doing time

Chorus

Bridge
Well the company’s been screwing me
It’s made me kinda strange
I’d call my shrink but he’s out of
Communication range
Please come save me please come save me
I guess I need a taste of the human race

Chorus out

4. Stevie Guide
(c) Copyright 2007

Note: Stevie Guide is about a real guy we knew growing up. His name was Steve and he was a friend of Paul Archer and Dave Coupland's. He watched the TV all the time and even memorized most of the TV Guide. He was an insiration.

Verse 1
He tried to make it, rebooked twice
But in the end he stayed home and watched Miami Vice
TV Guide is his favourite book
It runs his life I guess that’s all it took

Chorus
They call him Stevie Guide
Never goes outside
They call him Stevie Guide
Think of all the things he’s left behind

Verse 2
Walked right out on, the perfect date
He had to get back home in time for The Simpson’s at 8
TV people they never lie
Never break your heart never make you cry (at least not Stevie Guide)

Chorus

Bridge
Would you believe me if I told you, he never stood a chance
You could call it, lousy circumstance
The best things were after school, but he’d never go
He always had a conflict with his favourite show

5. Nightmare on 6th Avenue
Copyright 2007

Notes: West 6th Avenue is a real place in Vancouver where we used to practice.We were loud and always had visions of the neighbours stalking us with lit torches and pitch forks. The BackStage Lounge is a venue in Vancouver, BC we've played at on Granville Island. We love Jack Daniels!

Verse 1
It was a HiJacked City, She tried to look pretty
Walks in with her canvas and lace
A see-saw nightmare, the girl had long hair
Tried to hard to get on my case
At the BackStage Lounge, she dressed like a scrounge
Wasn’t all hard to see
She made a fool outta me, I couldn’t see
Exactly what she wanted to be

Chorus:
It was a nightmare
On 6th Avenue
With all that noice
It was a nightmare
On 6th avenue
Jack Daniels and the boys

Verse 2
The Ace is high, and faces lie
That attitude don’t get no respect
A switch blade is innocent, not magnificaant
She treated us like dirty insects
The Dark room mystery, missed her own key
Wasn’t up for the race
A first count, money hound; big ass bad sound
Get the fuck right outta my face.

Chorus X 2

Guitar Solo (Duane Chaos)

Verse 3
It was a HiJacked City, She tried to look pretty
Walks in with her canvas and lace
A first count, money hound; big ass bad sound
Get the fuck right outta my face.

Chorus X2

6. Sawgrass Hill
(c) Copyright 2007

Verse 1
The sun sets early, it’s a harvest moon
Glad that you’re here, never too soon
I don’t know why but I had to fly
I guess I was searching for another time
You said you’d catch me if I was headed down
I always felt much safer when you were around
I can’t believe you left without a sound
Now I got abandoned in this one story town

Chorus 1

Lost in Sawgrass Hill
Believe me when I say, you’ve got time to kill

Verse 2
For a start I’m falling apart
Everybody’s inbred, it’s like the Ozarks
I can’t believe I stayed in this town
I guess I lost my direction, I hope I don’t drown
In the end I’ll settle down
Find me the prettiest girl in town
She’s a toothless 300 lb tease
Smells kinda bad, but she knows how to please

Chorus 2
Lost in Sawgrass Hill
Believe me when I say you’ve got time to kill
That’s right I’m lost in Sawgrass Hill
With my dog, my truck, my girl and my moonshine

Bridge
It’s not from what you give
It’s all just relative
Could’ve left but lack the will
Stuck down here in Sawgrass Hill

Didgeridu Solo (Duane Chaos)

Chorus out
