BULLFROG LOVE
words and music by Norman Brodati

Way down in the swamps of Magog
In a cabin made of logs
A Cajun beauty lived alone
I wanted her for my own
When her gaze met mine
I could not deny
Those great big eyes
I knew it was
Bullfrog love

I set off to look for her
Best friend by my side
Playin' guitar, drank wine
Cajun mama was hard to find
When I thought of her
I imagined we kiss
Her tongue a whip
I knew it was
Bullfrog love

The very next mornin' I woke
Head poundin' like motor boat
Out from nowhere she appeared
Took my hand and disappeared
I would not deny
Being totally beguiled
By her amphibian smile
I knew it was
Bullfrog love

ENDLESS NIGHT
words and music by Norman Brodati

Saturday night
And the panic sets in
Take a look
At what the cat dragged in
Russian roulette
With a bottle of wine
Drink with the devil
On you he'll dine

Night shadows
Fill the moonshine blue
Street walker
You know it ain't you
Goin' it alone
Starts to wear you out
Company leaves
When the swellin' goes down

Head for cover
Till the storm goes by
Don't matter
Cause you can't hide
Thunder bolts
Lightning across the sky
Wind in the eyes
Only way you'll cry

Broken spirit
Has snapped your will
Endless well
Just can't be filled
Gettin' by
As a predator might
End up stickin'
On someone else's knife

TELL ME WHY
words and music by S. Perry Radin

I met her on the corner
had some bags with her
she was looking for a ride
thumb pointing to the sky

Tell me why
I'm gonna cry
can't say goodbye

she's got the gift of the gab
won't give my ears a rest
got a splitting headache
she's cardiac arrest

Tell me why
I'm gonna cry
can't say goodbye

Tell me why
tell me why
tell me why
tell me why

Won't leave me alone
moved in the other day
complaining as usual
a place to stay

Tell me why
I'm gonna cry
can't say goodbye

I can't take it anymore
gotta get some relief
she never stops yacking
it's beyond belief

Tell me why
I'm gonna cry
can't say goodbye

ALL MESSED UP
words and music by S. Perry Radin

You ask me if I love you
I say I do but I don't
You ask me if I'll marry you
I say I will but I won't

I'm all messed up
I'm all messed up
I'm neither here nor there
I'm not anywhere
I'm all messed up

You ask me if I like my job
I say I do but I don't
You ask me I'll find another
I say I will but I won't

I started to seek some help
In order to feel better
I think it's paying off now
I'm starting to recover
I'm all messed up

You ask me if I like my car
I say I do but I don't
You ask me if I'll buy another
I say I will but I won't

You ask me if I like who I am
I say I do but I don't
You ask me if I'll ever change
I say I will but I won't

LET ME IN
words and music by S. Perry Radin

In times of need
In times of trouble
I'll be there
On the double
Let me in
Let me in

Where there is a pain
There is sorrow
I'll be there
Before tomorrow
Let me in
Let me in

No trouble
It won't take long
I'll fix you up
I'll make you strong
I'll make it right
If it takes all night
Let me in

When you are stressed
You are down
I'll be there
In your town
Let me in
Let me in

If you feel the need
You're overdue
I'll be there
Right next to you
Let me in
Let me in

LOST MY MOJO
words and music by Norman Brodati

I lost my mojo
I gotta get it back
I lost my mojo
I gotta get it back

When my mojo's workin'
Women think me fine
When my mojo's workin'
Sugar sweet as wine

By the river bank
Muddy Waters my witness
Black cat bone in hand
She cast her spell on me

So I asked the hag
What it is I must do
She gave a toothless laugh
I knew I was through

NUN'S ON CRACK
words and music by Norman Brodati

I was thumbin' it on the highway
when a bunch of wild gals
pulled along side of me
and offered me a ride
These girls were on a joyride
they had just busted out
hot wired their Lincoln
lookin' to highjack me
Those black and white beauties
they were drivin' me wild
so innocent lookin'
they were no child

Coasted along beside me
lookin' for a hot time
checkin' me out completely
lookin' to commit a crime
couldn't keep my eyes off them
like Eve's slithering snake
rubbing against the upholstery
tryin' to show me pink
those black and white beauties
they were drivin' me wild
no misunderstanding
they had real bad habits

Wonder how your fantasies
take a shape into reality
is the truth really a lie
I know that pigs can fly
they took me to a place
far away from you
I'll be comin' home
but not until I'm through

We took a turn on a back road
slowed down to a crawl
girls started getting comfortable
I was gonna have a ball
then they pulled out some cocaine
from underneath their grey uniforms
only realizing at the moment
the girls were - nuns on crack!

nun's on crack
nun's on crack
nun's on crack
nun's on crack
nun's on crack...

WANT YOU BABY BABY
words and music by Dave Wallace and S. Perry Radin

Well I heard you
Somewhere out the corridor
Then I called you
Instead of answering, you swore
Then I saw you
And you were charging through the door
Like a mad bull
Made me a matador

I want you baby baby
I want you baby baby
And I need you baby baby
I need you baby baby

So I asked you
I said, I don't know the score
Are you an angel
Or a homocidal whore
Then your head turned
Like a lioness you roared
And you jumped me
Right into me you tore

Well we lay there
Just panting on the floor
Ain't it funny
How we keep coming back for more
Then we exploded
And the love began to pour
Ain't it funny
There is so much to explore

UTAH SKY
words and music by Norman Brodati

I want to walk
where the dinosaurs walk
I want to speak
where the Navajo speak
I want to look upon the place
high above the clouds
I want to be on the river
millions of years underground

I wanna live
I wanna die
I wanna rest my bones
under a Utah sky

Feel the stone shiver
been doin' that forever
see the land change
a century each frame
need to make this last forever
the sooner the better
need to roam that spot
where the eagles rock

I wanna live
I wanna die
I wanna rest my bones
under a Utah sky

AMERICAN WEST
words and music by S. Perry Radin

Impossible as it may seem
This ain't no dream

The land has taken a beating
Time is fleeting
Preserving it, we'll do our best
Beautiful and picturesque

It's important to do what is right
Honouring the land that's in our sight
Not to let others ruin nature's best
This has become our ultimate test

It's all about the American West
This place is the best

While others try to tear it apart
We'll keep it in our heart

Time is now to take a stand
And to protect the land

Nature and all it's glory
Oh baby, what a story

CAUGHT IN THE HEADLIGHTS
words and music by Norman Brodati

Caught in the headlights
of her love
on that road
so long gone

When she had
her high beams on
I tried to look away
I tried to be strong

Caught in the headlights
of her love
like a deer in the road
or the hood of your car

When she had
her high beams on
I tried to look away
I tried to be strong

Caught in the headlights
of her love
when I looked up
she was gone

When she had
her high beams on
I tried to look away
I tried to be strong.
