James Young - Alone

Finally I see the the truth
I'm no longer blinded by youth
I'm sick and I'm tired and I've nothing left to prove
I can't even blame this on you

It's the first time that I've really felt alone
I'm lying here beside you on my own
I wanted to believe in us but guess I should have known
The first time that I've really felt alone

Nothing's forever you know
We've got no room left to grow
We drive and we drive but we're running out of road
Let's go through the motions for show

It's the first time that I've really felt alone
I'm lying here beside you on my own
I wanted to believe in us but guess I should have known
The first time that I've really felt alone

There's nothing left to say
I can't make this go away
Too many reasons not to stay
Too few to go

Time heals all wounds so they say
Still slowly we're fading to grey
We duck and we dive in this game we've got to play
Because there is no other way

It's the first time that I've really felt alone
I'm lying here beside you on my own
I wanted to believe in us but guess I should have known
The first time that I've really felt alone

Jailhouse Payback - First Time Caller

I'm a first time caller
long time listener
I'm a first time lover
long time drinker
this was my last time trying
my last time believing in you
it's true

it was a cold december evening in my pickup
it was the last night with my first love you see
I found a letter that had fallen from your coat
it said "i love you", but it wasn't from me

so i'm calling, mr. D.J., to ask you
Is there a way to take away this pain
Because i'm crying and drink in' and I'm going insane
because the letter was signed my best friend's name

so I'm a first time caller
long time listener
I'm a first time lover
long time drinker
this was my last time trying
my last time believing in you
it's true

so you people listening on the A.M. radio
Take this as a warning
i hope that it makes sense
Keep your lover close
and don't look in her coat
And never introduce her to your friends

Ominous Ride - Maiden Trip

Pacing down at the edge of the dock
Never been off this monochrome rock
Bought my ticket to make the escape
That is no longer only a word on the tip of my tongue

The first wave washes over me
For the moment still moored to the land
The stories I thought would have painted a map
But I know where I'm headed is out of my hands

CHORUS:
Let the tether fall
And push away
I tell myself
I'm never going to be the same
As I drift farther from the safety of the shore
A million doors open
And before I see where they go

I am free
I am swallowed
I am beautiful
I am out of control
Take me
How will I ever get home

The mirror can only disguise what I see
(Shall I peel my face away)
Caught in a loop that envelopes the peace
(Can't turn it off, can't make it stop)
Here it comes again

Let the tether fall
And push away
I tell myself
I'm never going to be the same
As I drift farther from the safety of the shore
A million doors open
And before I see where they go

I am caught
I'm enlightened
I'm expendable
I am more than I was before
Save me
How will I ever get home

Pigfarmer Jr - Kill A Man

I signed my name on the dotted line
More than happy to serve my time
To make a stand for freedom and democracy
To save the world, to keep us free

I joined the army to do what's right
And they trained me to win the fight
I marched for miles, learned to shoot a gun
I learned to fight, to get the job done

And I pulled the trigger a thousand times
Never a once thought it was a crime
'Cause I'm trained to kill the enemy
All in the name of Democracy

But the very first time I shot a man
Is the very moment I came to understand
We're not fighting for democracy
We're fighting for profit, that's our policy

I pulled the trigger for the thousandth time
And then I killed a man
I pulled the trigger for the very last time
Because I killed a man
Because I killed a man

They send us all off to fight a war
To uphold the oath that we swore
They send us to fight for uncle Sam
When will we learn that it's all a sham?

'Cause we drop bombs and cause misery
Nothing to do with Democracy
We go and fight and kill the common folk
'Cause war is for profit, what a joke

I pulled the trigger for the thousandth time
And then I killed a man
I pulled the trigger for the very last time
Because I killed a man
I pulled the trigger for the thousandth time
And then I killed a man
I pulled the trigger for the very last time
Because I killed a man
Because I killed a man

"BucketHat" Bobby - Free To Be Me

Finding a way in the world,
hoping that, someday, I'll get the girl,
and the job and the fame I've always felt I was owed.

Worked all my life to carve a space,
that fits my form, to have a place,
where I could be praised for reaping the seeds I've sowed

But for the first time,
that's not my concern.
I'm resolved to know,
I'm never getting my turn.

I was appealing to my vanity,
But now, I think, I finally see.
For the first time, I'm free to just be me,

I had a dream, and chased it,
but all that time was wasted.
And now I leave it behind to start from scratch.

But I didn't quit, I fought.
It was never quite what I thought.
No matter how hard I tried, I can't make a match.

But for the first time,
I don't even care.
I've spent enough time,
just pulling out my hair.

I was appealing to my vanity,
But now, I think, I finally see.
For the first time, I'm free to just be me,

Yeah, for the first time,
I'm not even concerned.
I'm resolved to know,
I'm never getting my turn.

I was appealing to my vanity,
But now, I think, I finally see.
For the first time, I'm free to just be me.

Emperor Gun - Leaving

First time I left Lancashire
And last time I was there
Took a carriage to Liverpool
With no last fanfare
As I gazed out the window
At the hills and lakes of my home
I made my last memories
Before I went to roam

First time in America
First time overseas
Buy a future in Tennessee
With Lancastrian fees

My Da' worked the common land
Taught me how to grow
In the fields that his father worked
With a plough and a hoe
Now that there's no work for farmers
When there's sheep who'll pay a man more
So I'm going to work in the New World
Now England's no land for the poor

First time in America
First time overseas
Buy a future in Tennessee
With Lancastrian fees

First time on a sailboat
I was sick all the way
First time drinking rum, first time feeling glum
Now I was away
Then an old man took out a fiddle
And he played all the old songs I knew
And I cried for merry old England
As she vanished from view

First time in America
First time overseas
Buy a future in Tennessee
With Lancastrian fees

For a year I have worked here
Two more left to go
To pay off the passage here
I'll reap and I'll sow
They say its better to die
On your feet than live on your knees
But better an indentured servant
Than a starving man who is free

First time in America
First time overseas
Buy a future in Tennessee
With Lancastrian fees

Mark Humble - The First Time You Broke My Heart

I did not see the knife when you twisted it deep into me, love
Making a secret scar
Though I fought for my life I was gone, too gone to leave, love
The first time you broke my heart

The first time you broke my heart
I walked out your door
Then I crawled back for more
The first time you broke my heart

My eyes in the blue were a cloud filling with rain, love
Refusing to fall apart
So I lied, next to you I was proud and hid in the pain, love
The first time you broke my heart

The first time you broke my heart
I walked out your door
Then I crawled back for more
The first time you broke my heart

Every time I'd try to move along
My love for you grew twice as strong
Love is wild that’s the rule
Someone’s gonna play the fool

the first time you broke my heart
I walked out your door
Then I crawled back for more
The first time you broke my heart

Ross Durand - Premiere

So many seats, so many people
So many sounds, it’s like a cathedral
With a red velvet curtain and lobby chandeliers

The players tune up, the lights go down
The curtain rises, I think that I’ve found
A new kind of paradise, I only want to be here

And the lines that are spoken, and the songs that are sung
And the stories they are telling are leaving me hung
On every word and on every exit and entrance
Of the leading roles and the chorus and the stagehands
And the costumes and the lights and though it just began
The lights come back up

So may thoughts, so many feelings
Paisley in the carpets, carvings in the ceiling
That I can’t help but stare at while I wait for intermission to end

The actors return, the story resumes
Another act, that ends too soon but
The characters seem to think they have said all that needs to be said
(or do they?)

But the lines that were spoken, and the songs that were sung
And the story they were telling left me hung
On every word and on every exit and entrance
Af the leading roles and the chorus and the stagehands
And the costumes and the lights and though it just began
The lights come back up

The curtain comes down, applause fills the air
I begin to realize soon I won’t be there
Anymore with these characters, suspending my disbelief
But I know I believe that
I will be here again
I know I believe that
I will be here again

The Boffo Yux Dudes - First Wurst

When life starts to get crushin’
I recall what my daddy said
“Don’t you know that fools just rush in
Where wise men fear to tread”

I’ve heard it said by people
That you gotta trust your gut
I’d like it all to be so simple
I wish that I could, but

First is the worst
And last is the best
If you go before you know
You’re gonna fail the test

If you’re first you’re cursed
If you wait you’re great
Don’t you pout just sort it out
Try to corroborate

It’s not a crime to take some time
And try to figure out
The pratfalls and the pitfalls
And what everything’s about

So think it through, then make your move
Don’t just act on instinct
You think you’ve got some things to prove
But get yourself in sync

First is the worst
And last is the best
If you go before you know
You’re gonna fail the test

“Wait a minute, hold up son
Think about what you have done
Take your lessons from your past
Don’t be first and make things last”

Turtle Fence - First

As I'm browsing the web through the news and the blogs
I often feel lost and adrift in the sea
Through pages and pages of comments and posts
Everyone has an opinion but me.

A continual stream of content is added
The ratio of info to noise is too much
I wander this wilderness until I discover
An article or post blessedly untouched

To post first, the thrill of winning the rac
I post first; in all upper case
I post first into every blank space.
You think I'm a troll, but it's a salve to my soul,
to post first.

At the CERN conference among the foremost minds
Quantum Physics not too hard to understand
Yet when they ask 'are there any questions'
I cannot help but to raise my hand.

To post first, the thrill of winning the rac
I post first; in all upper case
I post first into every blank space.
You think I'm a troll, but it's a salve to my soul,
to post first.

It's quiet and dark and calm in this room
That my brother twin is sharing with me
9 months of peace and repose in the womb
There's only one reason that I'd ever leave.

I've got nothing to say, but I lust to be heard.
I get the last laugh when I have the first word.
