about
Music is our vital tool.
As much as we need to eat, drink and maintain our health mentally and physically, there are countless others out there who aren’t even in a financial position to MAINTAIN their health. That’s why we’re directly sending one dollar ($1) from EVERY ALBUM sold to a poverty-stricken 3 year old boy residing in Mexico, named Cristian Leocadio, that Radio Adelaide began to sponsor six months ago through World Vision. We hope this information allows you to enjoy the songs even more, knowing buying and spreading music is also spreading help and hope to those less fortunate. Thank you for your support!

- Track Name: Smile And Wave
-
Nobody’s listening anymore (now go)
Leave the mistakes at the door (and know that)
Each day is never the same if you surround yourself with
A smile and a wave
Get it off your chest if you feel it
The pressure’s blown through the ceiling
I know you’re listening
Come on, get up and go
‘Cause if you don’t try once then will you ever know?
Just lay your shoulders back, relax, and feel good knowing that
Each day is never the same if you surround yourself with
A smile and a wave (now go)
Let out only a quick sigh, release all your dark side
Get on with your day
Well just admit, it feels a little better
Trading your misery for pleasure
You won’t miss it a bit
Get up, get off your seat
And if this doesn’t make you move then keep on listening
Let the stress fade away, announce, that it’s all gonna change. - Track Name: Too Close For Missiles

This time I’m covering up my own tracks (‘cause we almost got caught)
Squeezing myself between the cool glass (but that’s what makes it hot)
LATE NIGHTS! Spending every waking moment wondering if he knows
I guess it really goes to show...
So treat her good or she’ll come for me
‘Cause I don’t have the power to say not this time (not this time)
No I don’t have the guts to say this is the end my friend (my friend)
She takes control of me again
She slows down to say she’s coming clean
She broke the news and left all the blame with me
MY BAD! I must have somehow forgot that you were the devil
You can’t trust what bleeds but doesn’t die
Yet you come call for me behind the scenes
You started this but you just can’t blame yourself
Blindsided me and fooled everybody else
Well I’m the victim in your endless cries for help (it all seems so simple)
Look to my friends for a little empathy
How quickly you made them all turn on me
I’ll fix this with truth ‘cause honestly...(it’s too close for missiles)
This all ends with you on bended knees
Looking for me to show some decency
But I’ve used up all my sympathy
‘Cause now I have the power to say not this time (not this time)
And now I have the guts to say this is the end my friend (my friend)
I’ll never touch a girl again. - Track Name: Scenic Route
-
This scene, this craze, get caught up in the mix
‘Cause you hear that it’s all the rage (it’s all the rage)
A quick change, two-faced like everybody else
So you don’t seem so out of place
Always second to speak up, to agree with what others say
Oh your friends always seem to be
Changing as quickly as your scene
We can see, see right through you
Yeah we see your life’s coming undone (coming undone)
It’s coming undone
So live your life one sad lie at a time
Your stock has dropped
The market’s over flooded so the shipping just has to stop (has to stop)
Follow the pack one foot off the bridge and nobody’s holding you back
Independence and confidence are traits you surely lack
Those clothes a new phrase, that scene and you might not seem
So out of place
So don’t you change with every passing
With every passing trend
With every passing, your life is passing you by. - Track Name: Anatomy
-
Grab your side you quiver, the air is chill we shiver
Light dances off your lips, uneasy so you shift your hips
I smile I see you grinning, the moment’s slowly winning
I pull you close, close your eyes, open your mouth it’s no surprise
I go to leave you grab me, I find this so attractive
You’re wanting more, no you’re not done, the first was good a second run
Pin me up against the brick wall
I lean down ‘cause I’m too tall
Grab my neck, you pull me down, all I can hear is my heart
And the energy that passes between us
Makes me feel alive (let’s write)
Let’s write the blueprint on how to do this right
Because this is how it always should be
Let’s make this kiss last a lifetime
Let’s make this kiss
And our tongues battle like at war with each other
And the rain falls down on us, let it pour
Side by side we stand, reaching out now holding hands
I pull away and bite your lip
Leave you stunned by a kiss, by a kiss
By a kiss. - Track Name: Bas Rutten
-
Hey bud, you better watch the steps you take
Mistakes will make (will make)
Intoxication mixed with rage well let the beast out of it’s cage
Blood spews from the tooth you just knocked loose
Counter-attack and as I feel my knuckles crack my friends rush in to take my back
We stood and fought, whether win or not
Hands hit like bricks, up against the sturdy raging wall
Over so fast, friends pick you up and dust you off
STREET! FIGHT! champions
Too slow, uppercut knocks you to the floor
Just know that this show is free if you don’t throw a fist
But pay with cuts and broken wrists
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! - Track Name: Crash of '29
-
The West was bought with blood money
And everybody bought in for the profits they told they would receive
Economy never looked so good, but nobody planned to
Jump off skyscrapers without their parachutes
The promises made and investments laid
They gave their lives and lost in all in trade
And as it’s told (bank vaults seal and close)
While million dollar moguls get their ties caught up in choke holds
Their countries paid with debt (countries paid with debt)
Which seems an easy consequence that any broker would
Trade for death
Sell, sell, sell before it’s too late, everyone’s in a panic losing money
Like dams without flood gates
And what’d you buy with all your wealth?
A chance to crowd the streets, a hope to eat so you can keep your health
But now that you’re broke, fortune’s up in smoke
Well here’s a hand I’ll help you hold their throats...
Of powerful men with empty pockets with holes in them
And never to wait and witness the day
The markets crash again, again.
Oh look, they crashed again. - Track Name: Whiplash
-
I’ve got some stories people have fashioned into famous legends
From where they were once praised now I’ll heed warning
To future generations
With pure intentions I wore no protection
Not factoring in harsh consequences
And pain I’ve inflicted to body and spirit
Will just bear reminder to ill-fated judgements
So learn from this what you will
I offer up these life stories my memories instilled
In turn these messages to you
Can’t take back the whiplash that I put myself through
And I’ve spend some mornings beside perfect strangers
Whose names didn’t ring a bell
I made false promises in between kisses which would never be upheld
And these one night stands became part of my plan
But as I sobered up I felt like less of a man
Now I’ve settled down with a girl and I’ve found giving it all up
Means she’s worth keeping around
And these words will write novels that braver men will read
And ask themselves how could someone put themselves
Through all this torture and all this grief, oh
They’d say you’d have to be dumb to have lived all these events
But I see each one as a blessing in disguise
A life experience. - Track Name: This Leash Ain't Gettin' Any Longer
-
You have this stubborn point of view, that everything I do
Means I’m getting tired of you, you’re scared I might leave but contribute it all to
(So you) worry about the times before when all the other girls grazed outside the door
(And I sooth) that unsettled soul because I’m not a guy to cheat and I’ve found a home
(In you) gotta recognize that it’s not me, we’ve got wandering eyes, it’s in our genes so
Trust me, trust me, trust me...don’t dwell on simple things that only upset
You ask only for the truth, I know you’ll take my word
But my words aren’t worth their weight in proof
I’ll make it up to in verse ‘cause it really was cute when you’d
Listen up you’ve gotta stop being told
Listen up this worrying is getting old
I can be so affectionate, I’m always backing up my words
With undying actions
Well you’re scared I might leave but you contribute it all to your
You act like nothing’s new (‘cause nothing ever is)
But every single day, oh each day,
I’m falling more in love with you. - Track Name: Boys Night Out
-
Drink up ‘cause you’re about to get served again
I’m sure that I know I can take it but
‘Who’s driving me home?’ and my legs lock up
And I drop and my last conscious thought is
Dare we start; pack all the boys into the cars
Constant calls, girlfriends wondering where the hell we are
One night and I’m sure that my heart will stop
On it’s own from a hard night of drinking
(Boys nights out are few and far between)
Between the shots and pitchers lay a night of good friends’ company
BOYS. NIGHT. OUT. (boys night out!)
To all men who have had to bail on a friend
For chick-flicks and a long night of cuddling
Knowing that the guys have just swallowed down
Twenty pints of the bar’s finest pale ale
(They adore) men who have lost all their control
(Now live for) nights where they find rest on wooden floors
One night to let go of the inner beast
That will feast on Jim Beam and tequila
Wasted; your secret’s safe with them so
Patience my friend
Chasing another early sunrise, sneak into bed
One turn of the key and the door won’t shut
And she’s up and you’re hearing an earful
BOYS! NIGHT! OUT! - Track Name: Sex On The Side Of The Road
-
Sex on the side of the road
Can’t stop till we both get caught
Oh we may it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
You place your hand on my thigh as we drive
The speedometer says that we’re slowing down and I ask you why
Hit the brakes hear the sound the gravel makes
Both our eyes brighten up as we anticipate
No, it’s not that comfortable but it still feels great
Whoa-oh
Sex on the side of the road (won’t stop)
Can’t stop till we both get caught
(We might) we may, it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
You on top as I enjoy the ride
Both drowning out the sounds of cars rushing by
Roll my eyes into my head as you unclench those things
Whoa-oh
And as this feeling begins to build
We’re both saying that ‘I love you and I always will’
And as your climax hits you grab that window sill - Track Name: The Dropout
-
These books have given me knowledge to help me see my path worth taking
Costed an arm and leg, dear debt: don’t make me beg for the sense I’m making
Here we separate the gifted from the fake
No, this isn’t giving up
No I just pulled the cord and separated all the risk from reward
Now throw
What you worked so hard for
Into a flooded field that saturates and overflows with a million more dropouts
The place all their hope in you
This panic has poisoned me with worry, fear and self-pity
It instilled, with it’s incisions
Well I’ve been spending restless nights
While gut instinct and conscience fight constantly with these decisions
These books teach us the art of taking the easy way out
We separate the gifted from those who are taking the easy way out. - Track Name: Good Talk...See Ya Out There
-
Tell me your favourite song, we’ll get high and turn it on
There’s fifty people at the door
Night begins (and sunsets)
They dig in (no regrets)
We need an ice run to the store
LET’S TAP THESE KEGS, I’ll pout you a refill
And watch all these youngsters become men
We’re known to say, we say, we’ll say (oh we’ll say)
Drank way more than the ten bucks you first paid (keg stand calls)
I’m sure they know, we know, they know (oh they know)
2 o’clock we’re locking these doors up (all go home)
Cops called; a damn noise complaint
Sirens blare (evacuate)
We’re all running for the door
Alcohol (blood content) has done it’s job (is rising)
Too many passed out on the floor
CAN HARDLY SEE my vision is impaired
And we’ll start the clean-up in the morning
