Carolina 03:04
CAROLINA (A. CALVANO) I heard a cry in the night Our love is all i have inside I couldn't look away, not hearing what you say My heart fell lazy, and did as i pleased You’re all that i know, just let things grow If love is feeling it’s a mystery to me It’s something that i’ll guess i’ll never know Carolina wont you call? And now i have seen Soon i’ll be on one knee ’til death do us part I’ve known it from the start If love is feeling it’s a mystery to me It’s something that i’ll guess i’ll never know Carolina wont you call? Never walk away Never walk away If love is feeling it’s a mystery to me It’s something that i’ll guess i’ll never know Carolina wont you call? Carolina won’t you call?

Clean Trouble (A. Calvano) Morning floor boards are freezing and the darkness tells me that i’m all alone Read the letter that you left on our bedside table Hinting you have gone and done something wrong You’ve been causing trouble You’ve been causing trouble for me And i’m counting down the days ’til you, until you come clean Waking it’s been harder without you There’s nobody to tell my morning joke All my friends, said boy you got to get out there But the letter she wrote was all that i know You’ve been causing trouble You’ve been causing trouble for me And i’m counting down the days ’til you, until you come clean Yes I am Down the street, I see your face in the things we used to do My memories i cant replace CLEAN TROUBLE (A.CALVANO) what more can i do I wanna know, I wanna see That you feel my pain, But it’s just not the same You’ve been causing trouble You’ve been causing trouble for me And i’m counting down the days ’til you, until you come clean Yes I am, yes I am All that you done, all that you done lord Tell me you’re wrong, tell me that you’re wrong Well i’m counting down the days ’til you, until you come clean
3.
STAND IN THE MIDDLE (A. CALVANO) When I was a young boy, searching for an answer of what i should be We’ve taken things for granted, all of this life missed opportunities And you and I we grow Into a work machine, looking to redeem And you and I we breathe Always wanting more, i’m scared for what’s in store And all that we’ve been told, to stand in the middle And all that we’ve been told, to stand in the middle The challenges the lie, keep us restless at night racing through our minds And all the dreams we’ve tried, the battles lost and won keeping us alive And you and I we grow Into a work machine, looking to redeem And you and I we breathe, Always wanting more, i’m scared for what’s in store And all that we’ve been told, to stand in the middle And all that we’ve been told, to stand in the middle No longer stand in the middle No longer stand in the middle
4.
SHADES OF BLUE (A. Calvano / F. Montgomery) We had it all, but I let you go I hope you found your way out of this town I just want you know You held my feet on the ground But I keep falling when i think of you And all my dreams now have a shade of blue The night can my enemy I can drink myself to sleep Nothing left to bleed And i know, I know, that hope is all that i need But I keep falling when i think of you And all my dreams now have a shade of blue Its gonna be just fine Yeah, wake up in the morning and take my time The sun will shine tomorrow just let it shine In my blood, in my bones In my heart, in my soul In our blood, in our bones In our hearts, in our soul Come so far, come so far Come on and let it shine Come so far, come so far Come on and let it shine Cause i know you’re not coming home

Blood Moon 04:02
BLOOD MOON (A. Calvano) It was the 8th of March, 1840 The Whyte brothers had enough Gathered up their employees They rounded them all up The whole entire clan Eighty lives are gone Slaughter was the plan Blood Moon, telling me all those lies Blood Moon, giving me alibis Blood Moon, look us in the eyes Because a Blood Moon shines tonight Yeah it’s shining bright, you know it’s shining bright Down at Fighting Hills, It was a massacre Taken with their guns the whole tribe but one His name was Lanky Bill Survived for one more month Until he got shot down By George McNamara Blood Moon, telling me all those lies Blood Moon, giving me alibis Blood Moon, look us in the eyes Because a Blood Moon shines tonight Yeah it’s shining bright, you know it’s shining bright What have we taken? Identity What should be taken? Responsibility We keep on ignoring Well it’s murder can’t you see? Well i’ll ask you question and make you think again You’re gonna think again, we’re gonna make you think again

She Feels Like Home (A. Calvano) In the corner wearing red Thoughts are running through my head Look in a green eyed stare Introduce her to my friends To be loved, love, love, love To be loved, love, love, love And now i’m sitting at the bar Thinking things have gone too far Drinking with a dirty smile Wake up in the morning full of denial I’m coming on down, down, down, down Coming on down, down, down, down I know you’re sitting all alone Waiting for beep beep by the phone I shout to worlds unseen unknown She feels like home She feels like home, home She feels like home, home, home, home And now i’m sitting on her couch She Feels Like Home (A.Calvano) And we begin to muck about I drank up all her wine She said that’s ok as long you’re feeling fine Thanks for coming around Coming around I know you’re sitting all alone Waiting for beep beep by the phone I shout to worlds unseen unknown She feels like home She feels like home, home She feels like home, home, home, home She’s feeling like home! She’s feeling like home!

Wolves 03:25
Wolves (A. Calvano) My mother, she once said That don’t cares made to care My father, with his dark eyes Saying don’t you live this life But the wolves they’ll come for me Yeah the wolves they’ll come for me Staring at the sun, we’ll you could’ve been anyone But the wolves they’ll come for me My sister, with her eyes shut Makes forgetting hard enough My brothers, everywhere Don’t you live in fear I care But the wolves they’ll come for me Yeah the wolves they’ll come for me Staring at the sun, we’ll you could’ve been anyone But the wolves they’ll come for me Yeah you know they come Yeah you know they come Staring at the sun, we’ll you could’ve been anyone But the wolves they’ll come for me
8.
She's Alright (A. Calvano) I gotta suitcase full of pillows Cause I never knew where i’d sleep Most of the time find a bed And buried it underneath Until I met the one And she whispered with her eyes I am here, you are mine, don’t you run and hide She’s Alright My devil’s cut forgotten Out in the great unknown Sometimes when I reflect It brings a shiver to my bones Jumping through a window Leaving a bed cold It’s ok i’m proud of you son That’s what i’ve been told She’s Alright She’s Alright You’re telling me, you’re telling me yeah! The devil screams, you’re killing me yeah! She’s alright, she’s all The fire that I swallowed Never doused the flames just like a hungry lion searching for some prey The thought it soon passes My soul knows the score It can get confusing Like a herbal carnivore She’s Alright She’s Alright You’re telling me, you’re telling me yeah! The devil screams, you’re killing me yeah! She’s alright, she’s alright, she’s al You’re telling me, you’re telling me yeah! The devil screams, you’re killing me yeah! She’s alright, she’s alright, she’s alright, she’s alright
9.
Hotel in Brunswick (A. Calvano) Last night I woke up in a hotel in Brunswick Thinking i’d never see again And a voice that laid beside me Will always be friend Smile is it real? No it’s not I have spent all the love that i’ve got Well others are busy shaking hands Their time is on demand One drink it turns into four City of dreams, i’ve heard before Something few would only understand Open mind is her command Last night I woke up in a hotel in Brunswick Thinking i’d never see again And a voice that laid beside me Will always be friend
10.
Ode To Joe 04:08
Ode To Joe (A. Calvano / M. Pitman) Joe was man, who worked on the land Saving all his pennies for his wife Some of them would say he worked everyday Scrounging was the way of his life I’m saying Joe, where did you go? Coming home one night, Joey got a fright His wife was gone and all was lost Crying with the sad, his wife was all he had Rolling and a cursing in the dust I’m saying Joe, where did you go? I’m saying Joe, where did you go? Joey wanted fun, he went and brought a gun Shooting everybody in sight He showed no remorse for his lonely divorce Robbing from the poor and from the blind I’m saying Joe, where did you go? I’m saying Joe, where did you go? Late one August night, a town stood in fright They heard that Joe was to come They tucked themselves in tight, they didn't want a fight But old man Joe didn’t even come His body they did see, against a lonely tree His favourite gun resting in his hand Yeah on one bended knee, he started to believe And bang! There’s blood in the sand. I’m saying Joe, where did you go? I’m saying Joe, where did you go?
11.
Tell Em You Love Em (A. Calvano) All of us have some frustration You let it breed, it turns into hatred The pain that you have to swallow Will let your dreams follow Your queuing in another line Paying money to some other guy Passwords, pin codes, your mind will explode Your running short of time All those payments and taxes all over Like an insect that’s caught in a web Well just turn to the one that annoys you And tell ‘em you love ‘em instead What do you really want to be? Is a question that’s always haunted me I want to travel the world with my beautiful girl But what will be, will be This life is just a test When we pass it, we’ll get to rest So live your life well, be true to yourself And don’t be afraid to help All those payments and taxes all over Like an insect that’s caught in a web Well just turn to the one that annoys you And tell ‘em you love ‘em instead
