Lyrics

Bad Timing Blues
words and music by Clint Chalkley

i've got the bad timing blues
i've got everything to lose
i'm asking her to chose
and i'm hoping things go smoothe
if i'd only taken haste i wouldn't be here in this place
and i wouldn't have these bad timing blues

she said i love you it's ok
and that's when i ran away
but i stayed away too long
and that's why i'm singing this damn song
if i'd only taken haste i wouldn't be here in this place
and i wouldn't have these bad timing blues

well i just can't love again
not with the shape that my heart's in
i need to rise up from the dirt
but i can't escape the hurt
if i'd only taken haste i wouldn't be here in this place
and i wouldn't have these bad, bad timing blues

i wouldn't be here in this place if i'd only taken haste
i wouldn't have these bad timing blues

yes if i'd only taken haste i wouldn't be here in this place
and i wouldn't have these bad, bad timing blues

No One To Love
words and music by Clint Chalkley

it was the next day after a sleepless night
she had a date lined up gonna grab a quick bite
she said i'm gonna meet him gonna find out if he's the one
cause i'm so damn tired of living this life alone

how could someone with so much to give
someone with so much love
oh how could it come to this that she could have
no one to love

well her life is pretty busy somewhat like mine
and if she keeps her schedule full it will seem like she's having a lot of fun
but just like me she's got a hole inside
and the piece that is missing is the piece that makes her life worthwhile

how could someone with so much to give
someone with so much love
oh how could it come to this that she could have
no one to love

Remarkable
words and music by Clint Chalkley

you know me, i know you
i feel the same things you do
and i love you too

my shortness, you lengthen
your weakness, i strengthen
and you love me too

it's remarkable what you mean to me
with your awesome love, i am complete

you know me completely
you nudge me so sweetly
where i need to go

through good times and bad times
you are the one that i'm
that i'm looking to

it's remarkable what you mean to me
with your awesome love, i am complete

21st Century Ball & Chain
words and music by Clint Chalkley

everywhere i go it seems there's something following me
like it's going to extremes just to bother me
it follows me everyday it's even with me when i sleep
sometimes i think it's trying to drive me insane
the 21st century ball & chain

sometimes it brings me good news other times the news is bad
but regardless it's there to use it's even become quite a fad
it follows me everyday it's even with me when i sleep
sometimes i think it's trying to drive me insane
the 21st century ball & chain

you know it's like a disease
i just can't get any peace
will this intrusion never cease?

it follows me everyday it's even with me when i sleep
sometimes i think it's trying to drive me insane
the 21st century ball & chain

Mesmerized
words and music by Clint Chalkley

she's a sophisticated lady that god sent to save me
cause he knew i couldn't save myself
i'd had a run of bad luck things had been a little tough
but you'll never hear me cry or complain

i looked in her eyes as i was holding her tight
and i felt that things were starting to change
she's lured me in i've lost control again
my whole world's feeling so strange

she's got me mesmerized she's got me feeling so insane
she's got me mesmerized she's got me feeling so damn strange
mesmerized

well my life's been so crazy since she reached out to save me
it's like nothing i've ever felt
and things don't get any clearer when i look in the mirror
i don't even recognize myself

but as i looked in her eyes as i was holding her tight
i felt that things were starting to change
she's lured me in i've lost control again
my whole world's feeling so strange

she's got me mesmerized she's got me feeling so insane
she's got me mesmerized she's got me feeling so damn strange
mesmerized

since the day i met her my life's been so much better
she brought new meaning to my world
she's got a way about her i just can't live without her
don't want to live without her love

she's got me mesmerized she's got me feeling so insane
she's got me mesmerized she's got me feeling so damn strange
mesmerized

Vicariously
words and music by Clint Chalkley

self destructive by nature like so many boys
non-negotiating we'd rather take you by force
cruising along on top of the world obliviously
some folks say i've lived my life recklessly

it must be nice to live out my life for me
it must be nice to live out my life so vicariously

i thought i had all the answers thought i could do no wrong
so i threw everything away and i struck off on my own
cruising along on top of the world obliviously
some folks say i've lived my life recklessly

well it must be nice to live out my life for me
it must be nice to live out my life so vicariously

Mutual Attraction
words and music by Clint Chalkley

if i had the power to i'd reach down into your very soul and pull you back to me
there's a chapter that's yet to be written that i have to read

i want to know what kind of lovers we would be
i need to feel your body next to me
feel your reaction to your touching me
i need your passion to envelope me

we'll let our mutual attraction our mutual attraction
let's let our mutual attraction set us free

if i had an hour with you i know i could convince you to see this through
so many unknowns how could you walk away from such a mystery

i want to know what kind of lovers we would be
i need to feel your body next to me
feel your reaction to your touching me
i need your passion to envelope me

we'll let our mutual attraction our mutual attraction
let's let our mutual attraction set us free

Ordinary Day
words and music by Clint Chalkley

i was blessed of god i just didn't see it
a fire will die if you don't feed it
share the love that's inside you
embrace the love that's around you
do the right thing don't ever compromise
be true to yourself cause that may be all you have
on an ordinary day

the sun would shine if she would let it
the wounds would heal given time
share the love that's inside you
embrace the love that's around you
do the right thing don't ever compromise
be true to yourself cause you may have nothing else
on an ordinary day

did anybody see it did anybody see my life walk out the door
tell me if you heard it did you hear that breaking sound
did you hear me breaking down
on an ordinary day

share the love that's inside you
embrace the love that's around you
do the right thing don't ever compromise
be true to yourself cause you may have nothing else
on an ordinary day
