Sam’s Home
The wild wind blows on the outskirts of town
The Factory’s are deserted and the mall’s are all run down
Dreams are shattered and there’s nothing left to say
I’ll see you again
I’ll see you someday
Our hometown is a nightmare
It’s such a disgrace
I’ll show where the warmth is
I’ll take you to Sam’s place
Where you feel so safe
And the light always shines
My baby stands in the doorway she’s dressed to the nines
We’ll hold each other in our arms
Cos baby we’re back at …
Sam’s Home
A place where you’ll never feel alone
Sam’s Home
A place where we can roam
Sam’s Home
Lights Out
It’s time to go
Shuffle down the street
The nights over
Sam’s Home
A place where you’ll never feel alone
Sam’s Home
A place for us all to roam
Sam’s Home
I miss it so much now it’s gone
OOC: I'm not very good at writing songs but I've put in a lot of effort to write the lyrics to all of the songs which are set to feature on Max's solo album. I'll put up a new song each day, hopefully the effort has been worthwhile. |

OOC: Awesome start, mate! I've always had difficulties writing lyrics (I still have yet to finish Midnight Skies), so I admire anyone who posts stuff like this on the forum. I'm looking forward to the next song! |
Kid Anything- Indie/Britpop/Shoegaze; influenced by Sigur Ros, XXYYXX, Kanye West, Blur, Oasis (Bringing together an eclectic group of influences, Ulysses' songs are sung with carefree abandon by Nick Junk) Kurt Ulysses - Songwriter, Guitarist, Backup Vocalist Nick Junk - Vocals, Mojo Infinite- Alternative/Experimental Rock; influenced by Muse, Radiohead, and The Beatles (Known best for their experimental music and their frontman's eccentric behavior, the band disbanded after Eric Quillington's death to pursue solo careers or, in Matt Robert's case, peace of mind. Infinite released four albums over the course of their career; Blue Nebula, Midnight Skies, Insomnia, and Dancing about Architecture.) Eric Quillington (Deceased) - Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar, Piano, Primary Lyricist Matt Roberts - Bass Greg Oldson - Drums, Backup Vocals, Secondary Lyricist Amelia Florentine - Keyboards, Piano, Lyricist, Backup Vocals "When asked 'how do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time', and this answer is invariably dismissed. But that's all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope." - Stephen King |

Max: Thanks Jack, Each individiual song will be posted each day and I think you should look out for What Do You Do When Your Dreams Come True, It's A Lie To Think Your Not Good Enough and On The Boardwalk, they're my personal favourite's and some of the best songs I've ever written.
OOC: Thanks Alex, I've been fairly quiet recently because I've been working on this and it's been really difficult for me so thanks for the comment. |

Homeland GloryHey kid, did I ever tell you the story
About when I was growing up
About the homeland glory
I was 14 years old
And I was just like you
Sitting in my room with nothing to do
Strumming on my six string
Listening to the radio
When suddenly a thunder storm strikes
And everything goes slow
We packed up our bags and headed to our cars
Wind blowing wildly leaving our town with all sorts of scars
People in the windows looking with such pain
Flooded streets and panic meets in the pouring rain
Windows broken and the women cry
They feared their lives and don’t wanna die
We set off to the car and drove as quick as we could
Oh but man, we were lost in the flood
We couldn’t move, nothing we could do
I held onto my father and he said this is for you
He opened the door and moved to the boot
And with one almighty push, we headed down the migration root
That my kid was our homeland glory
Hope you enjoyed this little story
20 years down the line and here we are
Living back in Jersey and kid we’ve come so far
So every night before you go to bed
Remember that story and rest your weary headEdited by user 12 September 2010 02:47:58(UTC)

What Do You Do When Your Dreams Come True
You’re a shadow of your former self
You were put on a pedestal and now your on the shelf
Gathering dust in the winter and the rain
Nothing to live for nothing to gain
I’ll ask you a question
What have you become
Because my friend, seeing you
Well it makes me numb
You were destined for great things
You were gonna be a star
Hit the city in 89 with a pocket full of dreams and you’re battered old guitar
What are you now
And may I ask
What do you do when your dreams come true
What do you do when they don’t
What do you do when your dreams come true
Do you retreat back to your old haunt
Where do you go when your plans are made
Where do you go when they’re gone
Where do you go when your dreams come true
Where do you go when they don’t
Did you ever hit the road
And follow your dreams my girl
Did you ever play at Madison
Did you ever give it a whirl
Where did you go when your dreams came true
What did you do when they burnt to the ground
Did you come back fighting and give it a try
Come back stronger than ever
Or did you let it all die
Where do you go now your dreams are gone
Back to your lonely house out west
Are you gonna work at it again babe
Are you gonna give it your best
Can I ask
Where will you go when your dreams come true
What will you do to keep them alive |

Killer JohnnyJohnny was a loner with no one in his life
No kids, no family nothing not even a wife
One day he decided that the world was just to much
He spotted a gun and with one small touch
…
Killer Johnny
Went wild one day
He shot a kid, right in the heart
And over his body they pray
The kid was gone and Johnny’s still around
He fought with a stranger
Then shot him to the ground
Killer Johnny
He can’t be forgiving
How could those kind folks die
When Johnny’s still living
Killer Johnny
Is a psycho today
He’s just misunderstood is what his parents say
But it still doesn’t take back that fateful day
When Johnny took the lives of
Those helpless souls yesterday
But answer me this
How can no one see
How on earth is Johnny walking free
He needs to pay and that’s a fact
Oh man, Johnny that’s no way to act
Killer Johnny died suddenly
And the lives of us all were now free
Killer Johnny
Killer Johnny

It's A Lie To Think Your Not Good EnoughDon’t ever think your not worth the time
Don’t ever think your life’s not worth living
Believe in yourself and don’t let anybody get you down
Believe in your dreams and make your life what you want it to be
It’s a lie to say nobody loves you
It’s a lie to say your nothing special
It’s a lie to say your life’s not worth living
It’s a lie to say your dreams won’t come true
Don’t go into the darkness
Listen to me speak when your worlds crashing down
There’s many things that can save you now
Music, Faith, Friendship, Grace
But there’s one thing that can make you life complete
L-O-V-E Love
Don’t believe it won’t happen
Don’t believe you’ll be alone forever
Don’t give up on finding a soul mate
It’s worth the wait if it takes forever
It’s a lie to say you don’t believe
It’s a lie to say your just not tough
Listen to me, when I say …
It’s a lie to think your not good enough
It’s a lie to think your not good enough
Can you hear me now
It’s a lie to think your not good enough
Life gets you down and it can be fucking tough
It’s a lie to think your not good enough
If your on the brink off ending it all
Put on a record and let it save your soul
Take a walk into town and just look around
Beauty’s here and it needs to be found
Don’t ever say your just not tough
It’s a lie to think your not good enough
It’s a lie to think your not good enough
It’s a lie to think your not good enoughEdited by user 15 September 2010 03:38:31(UTC)

Fallen Grace
How can you just say to me
It’s best for you, it’s best for me
A smile and whisper is all it takes
In the summer sun and a falling grace
I thought the world of you
Back when you were mine
I’ve seen you for what you’ve become
I’ve seen the truth this time
You’re a fallen grace
You’re a fallen grace
No more smiles upon your face
You’re a fallen grace
Summer’s here and I’m feeling fine
You’ve got your friends, but no love this time
Your not the same person you used to be
I don’t know what changed you, maybe it was me
You’re a fallen grace
You’re a fallen grace
No more smiles upon your face
You’re a fallen grace
I made you laugh and even made you cry
How did our love fail to survive
Winter came and went without a trace
I don’t even recognise that smile upon your face
Whisper to me, that we’re meant to be
That’s all it takes, to forget those mistakes
A Smile and Whisper is all it takes
Forgive me and my fallen grace |

The Break Of Day
There’s just something about this sunset
Something about this place
Something about this moment
This city has such grace
Back home the rain is pouring
Down on those small town girls
Dreams gone and a 9-5 is on
Break out, Break out, Break out.
As the sun set’s on the city
And the people go marching out in town
The girls are looking pretty and they just won’t back down
And I say babe you’ve got this old place
Think about how lucky you are right now
And think about the grace and babe how,
You’re here
On the Break of day
Where The City shines
On the Break of day
Where there ain’t no crimes
On the Break of day
Where The City shines
Look back home and see the people pray
They pray, they pray, they pray and pray
They pray for this
They pray for this
They pray for this
The break of day |

On The BoardwalkLights shine all night long
Slot’s sounding and fun is here
Let’s make the most before it’s gone
Story’s and memories are no longer on
On the boardwalk
Where people dance
And people choke
Down baby Down on the boardwalk
Fighting and gambling
Is part of the scene
People stare and people scream
Girls on the corner all full of steam
“Hey guy, you wanna good time.”
On the boardwalk
Where everything is fine
On the boardwalk
It ain’t no joke
Baby come back
Come back on the boardwalk
Don’t give me your excuses
Babe don’t talk
On the boardwalk
On the boardwalk
People laugh and people talk
On the boardwalk
Where people call you master
And the girls scream if they wanna go faster
Down below is the sand and sea
There’s no better place in town for me
On the boardwalk
Where the girls walk by
On the boardwalk
They make you wanna cry
Their beauty is clear
But they only want one thing
If you give them what they need
They’ll treat you like the king
On the boardwalk
For Adults only
On the boardwalk
You never feel lonely
On the boardwalk
On the boardwalk
On the boardwalk
Sit with me Baby
On the boardwalk
There’s no need to fight
Oh Baby, Oh baby
Meet me on the boardwalk tonightOOC: Ok everyone thats all of the song lyrics posted, let me know what you think. Edited by user 18 September 2010 03:03:39(UTC)
