raivan I'm a TRUE Eden Alley girl, but I am Also Haunted Guitar... you are a Wonderful Artist. Running on Low is my Favorite, but you Seem to know where my Heart is...the sound is something Only a few have. Camper and You

freejazzy Sweet songs of self-reflection. I am pretty shure Pat MacDonald doesn't know me. No chance he does. I have been in his audience only once and have crossed this bridge in Sturgeon Bay only twice. Astonishingly his music creates strong resonances. Favorite track: Seeing Things.

tok_brew Sometimes I get in a pat mAcdonald mood. Yesterday out my workshop, giving this it's first listen I kept right on going. Next up was Degrees of Gone, then the Ragged Jagged album. This one fits right in. I'm trying to say it's excellent. Hope to see another live show someday.

The Governor 04:19
Soft and fine like sand caught in my eye come the signs comes a time to summon the governor Rest and wine won't calm my racin' thoughts warm mineral springs won't unwind summon the governor the governor inside Engage Engage Fiber and blood these rags buried in my soul Damn my speed My capitol crime Summon the governor The governor inside Engage Engage Engage the that device that will keep it all from burnin' up Engage the mechanism that will hold me at home Summon the governor Summon the governor Summon the governor The governor inside To grant me a pardon Grant me a pardon Grant me a pardon Grant me a pardon

Tear down that old bridge it's an eyesore they say Tear down that old bridge it's not safe anyway Tear down that old bridge it was not meant to last Tear down that old bridge it belongs in the past Tear down that old bridge it's the business i'm in Tear down that old bridge it's a game i must win Tear down that old bridge cause you know i'm so clever Tear down that old bridge i been wanting to forever (and i hate Christie Weber) Tear down that old bridge oh i beg you my lord Tear down that old bridge cause i'm horny and bored Tear down that old bridge cause my life's in a rut my only son hates me and my daughter's a slut Tear - down - that - old - bridge help me gently free it from the shore Tear - down - that - old - bridge i don't want to see it any more Tear down that old bridge it's just a pile of old junk Tear down that old bridge man it looks like it's drunk Tear down that old bridge it's all rusted and ratty Tear down that old bridge it reminds me of daddy Tear - down - that - old - bridge help me gently free it from the shore Tear - down - that - old - bridge i don't want to see it any more i don't want to don't want to see it see it any more

I've been seeing things more clearly now I'm so much more aware It's all coming into focus Like that lion over there Well I used to be afraid of him But now I've grown up wild Running laughing in the sunlight as he eats my unborn child, yeah I've been seeing things more clearly now I'm much more in control All my demons grow white fur And jump back down the rabbit hole Yes I'm seeing things more clearly now I'm so much more aware It's all coming into focus like that bunny over there Once I loved the cookie monster But he turned into a toad So I smashed him with my car And left him mangled by the road Well he had a running start But he just could not pass the test Bastard never loved me anyway So it's all for the best, yeah Now I'm driving the tin man down the yellow brick road And my motor's so hot that I'm ready to explode But I'm seeing things so clearly now I'm so much more aware It's all coming into focus like that munchkin over there, yeah

I Never Will 03:01
My little sinner My unfaithful spouse Prepared a big dinner in the devil's house picked out the entre came in for the kill Now god might forgive ya but i never will You sharpened the cutlery You laid out the feast you served up our marriage as a meal for the beast carved out my heart chewed and swallowed your fill Now god might forgive ya but i never will I never will I never will When your sins are all but forgotten they'll torment you still Cause God might forgive ya but i never will I hope it was worth it Your cute little gag take your just deserts in a doggie bag my ghost will see to it that you pay the bill Cause God might forgive ya but i never will I never will I never will When your sins are all but forgotten they'll torment you still Cause God might forgive ya but i never will God might forgive ya but i never will

Well i'm hangin out in the shadows standin here in the back when up there front and center is a girl all dressed in black she's standin all by her lonesome groovin there on her own movin to the music that's borin me to the bone Wanna walk right up to her wanna buy her a beer wanna walk right up and tell her "Let's get the hell outa here This band sucks. Let's go fuck" This music does not rock me This music has no balls No fire, no smoke, no lightnin No thunder at al That song was fucking stupid and this one's even dumber and who's that asshole singin? and where's the fuckin drummer? This band sucks. Let's go fuck And the singer goes "three blind mice, three blind mice see how they run, see how they run they all ran after the farmer's wife she cut off their tails with a carving knife haver you ever seen such a sight in your life as three blind mice, three blind mice? Now i'm walkin right up behind her im tappin her on the back she turns around, sez, "yeah what?" i see she's got quite a rack i say "you look like you rock, girl like you and i could get busy that singer really bugs me he's not your boyfriend, is he?" She says, "no, not really. Got a car? This band sucks. Let's go fuck" Yes she did, she said "This band sucks. Let's go fuck"

Too High 04:19
All you wanted was the holy land All you needed was a few good men All you wanted was a wild weekend All you needed was to take command My, my we're out of touch Too high Too high Too high All you wanted was a home in the sky All you needed was a tight alibi All you wanted was a blanket of night to shelter your eyes from the dawn's early light Now, now you're out of time Too high Too high Too high You know a little red wine will stain just like blood to hide the evidence spattered on your white bearskin rug you're floating on a fallacy you think you're so high classed but you can take all your riches and shove em up your glorious past All you wanted was the holy land All you needed was a few good men All you wanted was a wild weekend All you needed was to take command To take command Take command Myyyy, my we're out of touch Too high Too high Too high Too high Too high Too high Now you're comin Now you're comin down

Wake at sunrise black are my thoughts Evil, my friend wants to rend what you wrought Not a day goes by when i don't wish you would die Vengeful feelins comin on strong You traded true love for somethin so wrong Not a day goes by when i don't wish you would die Round about midnight black are my thoughts i would do it myself if i couldn't get caught Cause not a day goes by When i don't wish you would die Not a day goes by when i don't wish you would die If demons are real they be right over there if wishes were poison ah you better beware cause not a day goes by when i don't wish you would die Not a day goes by when i don't wish you would die Scream bloody Call on the cops and think of me while your temperature drops Cause not a day goes by when i don't wish you would die Not a day goes by when i don't wish you would die Did you hear what i said? I'll never rest til you're dead.

Out all night, dead all day Out all night, dead all day Out all night, dead all day Won't make the world go away Can't seem to ease my troubled mind Drunk on liquor, high on pills Drunk on liquor, high on pills Drunk on liquor, high on pills Neither one can cure my ills Can't seem to ease my troubled mind Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Ba-dada Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Ba-dada Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Ba-dada Got wheels to drive, got a gun to shoot Wheels to drive, a gun to shoot Wheels to drive, a gun to shoot Ain't no good substitute Only my baby can ease my troubled mind Out all night, dead all day Out all night, dead all day Out all night, dead all day Won't make the world go away Can't seem to ease my troubled mind Only my baby can ease my troubled mind

A fire ahead, a fire behind and cool cool water runnin down below A feeling so real, a bridge made of steel that i can cross over, whichever way i must go Memories and anticipation it's all a little fuzzy it all goes by so fast Memories and anticipation maybe nothin stands forever but it seems these beams were meant to last This bridge won't burn though with every heartache in defiance i have tried This bridge won't burn even when there's nothin but fire on either side A fire ahead, a fire behind and cool cool water runnin down below A feeling so real, a bridge made of steel that i can cross over, whichever way i must go This bridge won't burn though with every heartache in defiance i have tried This bridge won't burn even when there's nothin but fire on either side

about

From the original liner notes: "2005 was for me a year of heartbreak, catastrophe, rage, insanity, love, then forgiveness, a time of marital collapse and trying to save an old bridge. These songs bear witness.
Big thanks to all my friends, relative friends, friendly relatives etc. i love you more than words or music can convey. xo,p"
