Hold me now cause Im about to light up Just sit there, let me look at you Tell me all the things you wanna do I've never met a man with so many dreams who finds time to be so handsome it seems you're so much more than the boys next door the ones I used to go for Hold me now cause Im about to light up Put me out 'cause Im about to burn down everything It's not my fault that everything you touch turns to fire You've got fuel, you've got a disease I'm better on my own usually but Im getting into trouble with your hands around my middle Hold me now cause Im about to light up Put me out 'cause Im about to burn down everything It's not my fault that everything you touch turns to fire

So much sadness and depression So much anger and despair Your shattered hopes and dreams surround you The outcome isn't fair We did it your way to begin with Your so-called wisdom got us here I shouldn't have to tell you this But just let me be clear: I will love you if you let me I will be there when you call I will love you if you let me No, I won't let you fall I know I'm rough around the edges It makes me nervous every day But I would be there if you let me But if you don't, I have to go away I've been right here this whole time Reaching out with no success I think you'd rather have my honest mistakes Than his willful carelessness

I didn’t know what life had in store One day was on top then I was on the floor Life isn’t always full of sunshine But when all is said and done I make out just fine I may stumble and I may fall But I keep my cool right through it all When the pressure’s on and I feel the heat Oooooh, I land on my feet Run into some losers in my day Thought they could break me, thought I’d slink away Tried to take me down they were sure that they could But I bounced right back and don’t it feel so good! I may stumble and I may fall But I keep my cool right through it all When the pressure’s on and I feel the heat Oooooh, I land on my feet Life’s not perfect, least, most of the time And heartache can be so damn easy to find But through each long day and every last dark night Ya gotta keep on keepin’ on till you get it right and You may stumble and you may fall But just keep your cool right through it all When the pressure’s on and you feel the heat Ooooooh, you gotta land on your feet

White Boy Dance lyrics: I ain't sayin' that I have to take you home I'm just swayin and my eyes start to roam To you stayin' in the back on the phone Hope our playin will move your legs of stone So Dance, my white boy dance C'mon, girl, give it a chance Got you movin' that's what I like to see Keep it groovin' dance into the ecstasy you've got moves I bet you don't even know Let's get stupid after I finish this show So Dance, my white boy dance C'mon, girl, give it a chance Go into a trance Dance that white boy dance I just need to find some other way to you I just need you to dance on the floor tonight We're just shuttin this place down for tonight Sound's exploding I don't wanna see a fight You've been dancing' haven a good time Would it kill you to tell me how to make you mine?

I feel so lonely A candle on a shelf Burning slowly Still there is no one else I punch the numbers But I can’t get you (through) There are no others That I can turn to I don’t know what to do with my affection I don’t know what to do with myself I don’t know what to do with my affliction I don’t know what to do by myself And etched upon my face Time is not my friend An armistice in place till Our separation ends I hear her whisper Her voice is coming through I say that I miss her But it just won’t do I don’t know what to do with my attraction I don’t know what to do with myself I don’t know what to do with my reaction I don’t know what to do by myself The seconds seem to last for hours The hours just like days The calendar upon the wall Doesn’t seem to move at all I don’t know what to do with my affection I don’t know what to do with myself I don’t know what to do with my affliction I don’t know what to do by myself I don’t know what to do with my attraction I don’t know what to do with myself I don’t know what to do with my reaction I don’t know what to do by myself Music and Lyrics by Hugh W.

about

RAFT: Rockers Against Flood Tragedy

Musicians (of ALL genres) from the Binghamton, New York area are donating these original songs to support the Rock The Flood cause. Rock the Flood seeks to raise funds to assist the people in the area affected by the devastating flood of September 8, 2011.

If you want to help MORE, you can! You may name your own price when buying just a single track or the whole album.
OR - see Rock the Flood for more info on how to help in other ways.:

Find out more about Rock The Flood here:
www.facebook.com/bing.rocks.4.flood.relief


Half of the money raised goes to CHOW (run by Broome County Council of Churches) and the other half to Owego Revitalization and Betterment Corporation.


For those who want to know: please note that 85% of the dollar amount from these sales goes to the charity. 15% does go to Bandcamp.com. It is their website service (which is free to us) which has made it possible for us to put together this album for everyone on the web. Please don't let it scare you off. If we made real CDs to buy, we'd be sinking hundreds of dollars into manufacturing costs. I think this deal is fair for everyone.
