Call Me Sir 03:17
Call Me Sir Rollin' out of bed in the morning I'm thinking of shaving Gotta beat the afternoon lunch rush For a coffee and a donut I hear a voice from over my sholder Did my ears deceive me? Excuse me but do you have the time, sir? I turned around and I said... Why Call me sir? I don't even look like Paul or Elton But I'm getting there I feel this old When they call me sir Rushin' in to look in the mirror A wrinkle, a grey hair Thinking that the clock isn't turning A month here, a day there Still I'm gonna' play my guitar and check my IRA Future's looking clearer than ever Thanks to minor surgery Join me in the wagon to a drive-through retro Buyin' by the slice and you're layin down the cash man Memory is hazy but I still remember Five-0 Hippies and the yuppies and the dot com geeks and...

Florentine 02:52
Another mortar in the sky Another failed attempt at peaceful you and I But we never can believe What we read in magazines That true love is just a feeling after all? A war of roses we all fight A fatal blow is heard across the bow tonight If we only knew the truth Is not what we hear on the news Well can’t we all just get along? We’re walking the longest mile to harmony We go through the motions of our destiny Is there room for you and me in Florentine? You come at me with knife in hand To assassinate my character again But I feel we’ve all been took By what we’ve learned in schoolhouse books Can’t we all just get along? We’re walking the world that’s lined with misery We drown in the notion of our own deceit Is there room for you and me in Florentine? Can’t you hear the walls are fallin’? The hills of Tuscany are callin’ We’re walking the longest mile to harmony We go through the motions of our destiny We’re never alone when on our own four feet Is there room for you and me in Florentine? Is there room for you and me in Florentine? Is there room for you and me in Florentine? Room in Florentine

I'm thinkin' I don't have the time for this I need a sound bite just to get the gist Give me a one-two shot it's all you got You're taking too long baby I'm gonna check my palm and find the room I'm on a roll right now so call me soon I got a 3 o'clock and then we'll talk I'll give you twenty maybe Well do you think that I'm just laying on the sand With an icy beverage in my hand With nothing else to do but listen to you? Are the palm trees only in blowing in your mind But the waves are crashing on my time Am I on this earth simply to listen to you? If you got something big to say to me You better send it to my blackberry I'm getting so much done, and I'm the one You're taking too long baby Just because I want the best for you It doesn’t mean that I can pick and choose I think your mom and I agree to try Another green-card nanny Do you think that I'm just laying on the sand With an icy beverage in my hand With nothing else to do but listen to you? Are the palm trees only in blowing in your mind But the waves are crashing on my time Am I on this earth simply to listen to you? Do you think that I'm just laying on the sand With an icy beverage in my hand With nothing else to do but listen to you? Are the palm trees only in blowing in your mind

Far Away 04:04
Hey, far away, I would say It’s a very bad day down here Hey, by the way, maybe I Haven’t what it takes I always fly through the sky In my mind just to be with you It’s all I have, to see you It’s all I have Far Away, Far Away Won’t you come, won’t you save A frozen heart, don’t you dare Fade away, Far Away Why’d you leave me here When you are so far away What to compare, how to share What I’m feeling since you are gone Yes, I’m aware nothing’s fair But I can’t let go Never forget, won’t regret All the memories I made with you All I have, to keep you It’s all I have Far Away, Far Away Won’t you come, won’t you save A frozen heart, don’t you dare Fade away, Far Away Why’d you leave me here When you are so far away

MIA 04:15
Look deep inside with your stethoscope is there a heart still tickin’ And while your there can you tell me if my brain’s in it’s place Look in my ears cause I really hope there’s not an ocean turning Behind these tears is a fortress that is crumbling away MIA lost in outer space While I’m floating through a cloud see the curtain coming down on me MIA gone without a trace Now I’m going to a town where my body can’t be found Where only the big boys go Look in my eyes cause I need to know the shades of light I’m seeing I was so blind but you led me to a familiar face Look in my soul can you really show the part of me that’s leaving Floating away like a feather on a beautiful day MIA lost in outer space While I’m floating through a cloud see the curtain coming down on me MIA gone without a trace Now I’m going to the sky on a roller coaster ride Where only the free can go And I’m really gonna find all the answers in my mind Like where did the big bang go MIA lost in outer space While I’m floating through a cloud see the curtain coming down on me MIA gone without a trace Cause I’m going to a town where my body won’t be found MIA you have rescued me From a bloody battlefield to a paradise that’s real with you MIA you have known my name From the moment I was born to the day I came ashore You knew just where I would go Cause I’m going to the sky on a roller coaster ride Where only the free can go Now I’m going to a town where my body can’t be found Where only the big boys go Look deep inside with your stethoscope is there a heart still tickin’

This is the way That I can get along This is the way That I can carry on Never again will I fret away This is a face Perfect for radio This is the case That I'm no Romeo Because of your love or the lack thereof I'm thinking today. If I could find somebody to love me Would it be alright Could it be alright If I could find somebody to need me Would it be alright Could it be alright This is the day That I will make a change This is the way That I will rearrange Wherever you are don't you wait for me Is this a maze Funny experiment Is this a craze Pairing the opposites? Desperate times calling desperately For losers like me If I could find somebody to love me Would it be alright Could it be alright If I could find somebody to need me Would it be alright Could it be alright If there just won't be you and me Just one more island in the sea I'd rather be If I could find somebody to love me Would it be alright Could it be alright If I could find somebody to need me Would it be alright Could it be alright If I could find somebody to love me Would it be alright Could it be alright If I could find somebody to need me Would it be alright Could it be alright,alright If I could find you, if I could find you

Sorry 03:30
All the distance in the world between us We live together all alone If we close our eyes we can see what lies behind this cloud Yesterday had it’s way Sorry seems to be the only word for you and I to say All the thunder crashing down upon us Can fill an ocean with our waves If we know our lines we can play the part tonight out loud Yesterday come today Take it back and we’ll have it made Sorry seems to be the only word for you and I to say If we close our eyes we can see what lies behind this cloud Yesterday leave your name All dressed up with a different face Yesterday come today Take it back and we’ll have it made Yesterday had it’s way Sorry seems to be the only word that you and I Yeah you and I can say

Butterfly 04:27
As a fire starts with a flame and true love begins with a name Hear it calling calling down to Anyone out there with faith under skin you all look the same Don’t go falling falling away Butterfly deep inside Come alive take shape in me Butterfly dream tonight you are free Fly far away Over mountains over seas Over broken yesterdays As a snowflake lands on a face like a tear it rolls down in waste All this searching, searching Making angels out in the snow you were meant to be more did you know Don’t be running running away Butterfly deep inside Come alive take shape in me Butterfly wake tonight you are free Fly far away Over mountains over seas Over broken yesterdays So far away just like a dream that never ends Butterflies deep inside Come alive take shape in me Butterflies safe tonight you are free Fly far away Over mountains over seas Over broken yesterdays Butterflies floating high In the sky take shape and be Butterflies live tonight you are free Fly far away Butterflies floating high In the sky take shape and be Butterflies live tonight you are free Fly far away

East Of Eden 03:56
So defeated so unraveled in my cage So deflated by the one that got away Just like Joe Dimaggio picks you up and brings you home Courting Marilyn keeps her name as Miss Monroe Life throws a nasty curve I don’t want what I deserve Nothing here is free Are you outside looking at the inside Waiting for an upside falling for an upside down The right side’s calling to the wrong side on your Fall from Eden Far from Eden So take a ride on the other side of pain Verse two So sedated so inundated in my day So inflated by the words that people say Just like young man Fabio blink an eye I’m growing old Human house of cards cashing out while under par Bogged down by the weight waiting to reciprocate Nothing leaves with me Chorus Are you outside looking at the inside Waiting for an upside falling for an upside down The right side’s calling to the wrong side on your Fall from Eden far from Eden So take a ride on the other side of pain Bridge So take a ride on the other side of rain So take a ride on the other side of rain I’m so elated by the one who rescued me Chorus Are you outside looking at the inside Waiting for an upside falling for an upside down The right side’s calling to the wrong side on your Fall from Eden far from Eden Are you outside looking at the inside Waiting for an upside falling for an upside down The right side’s calling to the wrong side on your Fall from Eden far from Eden east of Eden Chorus Are you outside looking at the inside Waiting for an upside falling for an upside down The right side’s calling to the wrong side on your Fall from Eden far from Eden Are you outside looking at the inside Waiting for an upside falling for an upside down The right side’s calling to the wrong side on your Fall from Eden far from Eden east of Eden East Of Eden

Maybe I should notice Who stopped the war Maybe I should care Wrapped around your secrets I stopped to find Tethered to this life that’s not my own Carry me, Bury me I’m alright Will you dig around till I Can be found now Cover me, Tell me that I’m alright When all is said and done I’ll think it over I’ll think it over Weighted by your measure I walk the line Taken with this treasure…I will find Carry me, Bury me I’m alright Will you dig around till I Can be found now Cover me, Tell me that I’m alright When all is said and done will you still Carry me, Bury me I’m alright Will you dig around till I Can be found now Cover me, Tell me that I’m alright When all is said and done I’ll think it over I’ll think it over I think I’m gonna find What was left behind I think we’ll work it out just fine Maybe I should notice Who stopped the war Maybe I should care Carry me, Bury me I’m alright Will you dig around till I Can be found now Cover me, Tell me that I’m alright When all is said and done will you still Carry me, Bury me I’m alright Will you dig around till I Can be found now Cover me, Tell me that I’m alright When all is said and done I’ll think it over I’ll think it over

about

Introducing…Jet Velvet

“How did your band get started?” is one of the most obvious questions of curiosity a fan or reporter could ask a brand new act, often times met with some basic story of meeting in school, playing together on the weekends or connecting through mutual friends and musicians. But in the case of Orange County, California’s Jet Velvet, which is comprised of all-star singer/songwriters Paul Dexter and Matt Bissonette, it’s one of the most interesting and intriguing tales in recent memory, met with an even more extraordinary power pop/retro-infused modern rock sound.

“We’re both songwriters who’ve been teaming up together for the better half of the last decade and scored many placements on TV and various soundtracks,” notes Dexter, who’s also known for his time in Mayfair Laundry “We’ve been writing on and off together since 2003. At some point but we realized we had created a pretty solid body of work together and said ‘looks like we’ve got ourselves a band.’ It passed the test of the hardest critics in our friend and fellow musician circles, so with that we became Jet Velvet, recalling the days when jets were new and velvet sofas were required staples.”

No matter what the back story behind a track on Jet Velvet’s self-titled CD, it’s impossible not to sing-a-long thanks to the disc’s instantaneous windows rolled down appeal and endless hooks at every guitar knob twist and harmony-heavy turn. Given those sugary satisfying but never watered down delights, it’s easy to mention this band in the same breath as the insanely contagious new school likes of Ben Folds Five, Owl City and Fountains of Wayne, crossed with golden oldies like Electric Light Orchestra, Cheap Trick, The Beach Boys, and of course, The Beatles.
