TREEZ ON THE HILL
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2023)
My Daddy said stop messin’
Listen
…be still
You’re much to young to carry
All that’s buried
Beneath The Treez On The Hill
The Darker Forces are at play
Run away
Way downhill
I’ll handle it my way
Stay away
From The Treez On The Hill
Next day Daddy wound up missing
They say he drowned fishing
He’s missing still
I can still hear his echo
When the wind blows
Through the Treez On The Hill
Fall on your knees
I’m begging please
They seethe ill will
There’s no way to please
All that breeds
Beneath The Treez On The Hill
I'm down on my knees
I can’t breathe
They seethe ill will
There’s no way to please
All that breeds
Beneath The Treez On The Hill
Stay Away
From The Treez

YOUR OWN PERSONAL GROOVE
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2023)
Touch down in London
But You wanna be in Seine
Struck a pose as You arose
From the Bullet Train
Some Women Swim in Fashion
But You’ve got Style
Much finer than we’ve seen in Cannes
For a little while
Your Own Personal Groove
Your Own Personal Groove
The Maleficent Red Carpets
Tend to make You yawn
Read a book while at The Opry
Doc Martens on
The lines in social circles
Are very clearly drawn
They gossip so but wanna know
Just what You’re on
Your Own Personal Groove
Your Own Personal Groove
Your Own Personal Groove
Your Own Personal Groove
You're laying it down with Mr Brown
With Duct Tape on Your wedding gown
Halcyonic Love From The West Coast days
Storming through Your Luteal Phase
You’d take a blow for what is right
And shave Your head.. well you just might
It’s not about A Statement
It’s what You like
Your Own Personal Groove
Your Own Personal Groove
Your Own ....Groove
Your Own Personal... Groove
Your Own ....Groove

WON’T YOU STAY
(Words by Bradley Blyth and Larry Shields. Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2023)
Oh Holy One
The time has come
Still there’s more work to do
The World’s come undone
To Kingdom Come
And I depend on You
Night swallows day
I’ve lost my way
Your Face will fade from view
The shards of a dream
Tear apart the seams
Can I depend on You
My Precious Son
The Chosen One
Oh where you going to
There’s Wicked Ways
Dangerous Days
Maybe I should go with You
I’ll do anything You say
I wont be in the way
I’ve known someday
You’d go away
But for today
Won’t You Stay
For awhile
I need your smile
We’ll reconcile
I swear that I’ll ...
Won’t You Stay
Around the table a little longer
Until your able
Until your stronger
I’ve set a chair
I’ll meet you there
Won’t You Stay
I know You must go
I know You must glow
I know You must know
I love you so
Must You go
Won’t You Stay
Won't You Stay

IT'S YOUR ATTITUDE
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2023)
I Doom Scroll most my evenings
Drink away too many of my days
Now Cindy’s leaving
She took a swing…
I only asked how much support I’d be receiving
Even Charlie Sheen strongly suggests I change my ways
Just last month I passed out behind the wheel
Yeah I dozed off in the drive through line waiting for my Happy Meal
What could I do?
Had to forge my SR22
And now Mr. Assistant District Attorney Strongly suggests that violates the terms of my probation deal
But It’s all good
I know I should
Moderate My Groove
But I love this life
What’s not to like
It’s Just Your Attitude
They once forced me to see a Guidance Counselor
He said I got to have goals
I said “But I do. Each day I set out to cop the phased out riff from Thirty Days In The Hole”
It’s not easy
It’s often slow
And I may never get there
But this I know
It’s All Good
I knock on wood
Though some may misconstrue
Is it a rut…or Groove
It’s up to You
It’s Just Your Attitude
It came to me in my youth
I stumbled on an Awesome Truth
Though some may disagree
I don’t care
Don’t just do something
Sit there
Come on Dude
It’s Your Attitude
Find Your Groove
Your Attitude
I Doom Scroll most my evenings
But I love this life
She took a swing
That violates the terms of my Probation Deal
And I’m still waiting for my Happy Meal

BY ANY OTHER NAME
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2022)
Behold The Man of Sorrows
The Sacrificial Lamb
I think He could use my help
In spite of who I am
I hear He has some talent
They say He heals the lame
They’d crown Him King
If He did those things
By Any Other Name
His touring band is bloated
Numbered 12 in all
They say Pete’s Best
Let’s sack the rest
Just keep Pete, John and Paul
It’s clear He has the talent
Last gig 5000 came
They’d all succumb
If He had come
By Any Other Name
Book a residence in Vegas
But for God’s sake show the scars
Arena tours are much preferred
They don’t like you playing bars
But I’ll seed you with my own money
30 coins to start the game
You could be The Mega Star
By Any Other Name
With voice that sounds like Heaven
All we needs the Perfect Song
There’s that Book of Songs about Him
Perhaps He’s Chosen One
But He hasn’t got a Harem
His Hoes “Go sin no more”
Instead of banging on on His own drum
He knocks softly on your door
Then on the verge of triumph
He went back from where He came
He’d exceed all those if He A Rose
By Any Other Name
The tours all planned with an All Star Band
(By Any Other Name)
And Clapton gave the nod
You can trade licks with God
(By any other name)
I’ve got Evian on the line
Said something about You changing water to wine
(By Any Other Name)
It’s a Win Win
Even Taylor Swift wants in
And there’s never "No Room" at the Holiday Inn
...You did say You'd come back again...

STONED FOR THE SUMMER
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2023)
Take away my sixth string
I’ll be just fine with five
I started cutting class right Aftermath
And If You Want It I Got Live
I’ve got my job for the Summer
Time Is On My Side
I’m down the rabbit hole
Of Rock and Roll
I’ll see you on the other side
Now some will soar with Eagles
And some are Grateful Dead
But we preferred the grease of Bobby Keys
And put a Rooster on our heads
Bust a button on me trousers
Goodbye Johnny B Goode
Going to hang with Gram in the South of France
Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’ on Ron Wood
Can't You Hear Me Knock
We got Stoned For The Summer
Nailed a guitar to my back
Rolling Stoned For The Summer
Try to Paint the whole thing Black
While The Jocks were getting toned
The Boys and me were Getting Stoned
Now we can Stray Cat Groove
With Andrew Loog
..And Drink with Bebe Buell
But not a word to Pallenberg
Or your face down in that pool
I spent the best part of that Summer
Eyes wide in my bed
Spinning Rolling Funk Hymns from the Glimmer Twins
WIth a 1000 Watts of Charlie in my head
We got Stoned for The Summer
Tried to set the back beat back
Rolling Stoned for the Summer
Grandma had a heart attack
Every fuse was getting blown
The Boys and Me Were Getting Stoned
We got Stoned for The Summer
Taylor's made to play the Blues
Rolling Stoned for the Summer
With Ronnie and The Faces too
I got a Maestro Fuzz Tone!
The Boys and Me Were Getting Stoned
We Got Stoned
We Got Stoned
Rolling Stoned

FIRST DANCE (I’m Not Sitting This One Out )
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2022)
By any chance
Would you care to dance
Said The Blue Eyed Girl
I’d often dream about
But with my foxtrot all a mess
Much too scared to just say yes
Forgive me if I sit this one out
Ten years on
At the age of 21
I’d kick and scream as they’d drag me on the floor
Much too challenged by the groove
And sans Travolta’s moves
And the sum of my left feet that numbered 4
But now The Bride stands before me
And with her smile reveals what life is all about
How can it be that one as sweet as she
Could adore the likes of me
I’m not sitting this one out
I wanna dance
I wanna sing
I wanna see the once composed Best Man
Fumble for the ring
I wanna laugh
I wanna cry
I wanna see when Heaven Smiles and hear the Angels Sigh
I wanna laugh
I wanna cry
I want to see The Most Divine Young Man
Gaze into His Sky
I wanna hear
I wanna see
I wanna bathe in The Joy that washes over me
I wanna live
I wanna love
I wanna see the all the Joy that I’ve been dreaming of
I want to feel so much joy
That the ravages of time could not destroy
By any chance
Would You care to dance

JUST A POP STAR
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2023)
I’m a Bullet on The Chart
I’m a Rocket guaranteed to Hit my Mark
Divinely unqualified on issues of the day
But you ask me anyway
I’m a Brand
I’m a Cause
I’m Addiction to applause
But I’ve no answer to questions of the day
I say what I’m supposed to say
I’ll write the words
I’ll sing the song
But it’s well known that I’m prone to get it wrong
I’m much less wise than most that hear me are
I’m Just A Pop Star
I find it hard to conceive
That you’d believe the likes of me
I can smile
Endorse The Car
I’m Just a Pop Star
My oh my how I glow
I’m the Singer in the Show
But I’m not real…I bear no scars
I’m Just A Pop Star
Why of why would I know
I’m just The Singer in The Show
I can’t make you finer than you are
I’m Just A Pop Star

IF YOU'RE DEAD (I'M A GONER)
(Words and Music by Bradley Blyth. Copyright 2023)
Bless my soul I’m born again
I ain’t been loved since I don’t know when
Once a prayer cradled in a song
I hadn’t words..then you came along
Behold The One that’s Heaven sent
They laid you down but You just went
I’d worked it out but you had other plans
But when you go I don’t stand a chance
So place some pennies on my eyes
Lace my cup with cyanide
Start the car then close the garage door
Pick up the phone and call Jeffrey Dahmer
‘Cuz If You’re Dead I’m A Goner
All is Glow and Each Day Dear
The World s More Lovely when You’re here
But I got the plot and then I bought the hearse
I’ll be darned if I ..don’t certify.. it’s me that’s going first
So place the pillow on my face
Some Jonestown in my lemonade
I’m on the stool now kick it to the floor
Life goes on but maybe I don’t wanna
‘Cuz If You’re Dead I’m A Goner
My Precious One you know You mustn’t leave
Me doomed to be with a gaping wound like Me
Surely you’ve got something up your sleeve
I’m damned if I can’t justify and just believe
So if the rope won’t bear my weight
Don’t you dare resuscitate
You may see a smile before I go
They Say Life Goes On …but Baby I Don’t Wanna
‘Cuz If You’re Dead I’m A Goner
If You’re Dead I’m A Goner
I’m A Goner
