There was a demon in my mind with horns and scales and hate and I was sinking ever deeper I was left to my own fate. I was in a dark place in the shadows I had lost my fight you reached down and pulled me from that pit that had no light, that pit that had no light. And if the sky fell in tomorrow and the earth it did not turn I'd still feel myself lucky that you rescued me, that you rescued me, from my world. Now upon reflection those memories I recall can no longer hurt me they're only thoughts after all, only thoughts after all. And if the sky fell in tomorrow. and the earth it did not turn I'd still feel myself lucky that you rescued me, that you rescued me, from my world. It's been a hard road that I've walked down and not always in the light time has taught me don't wear no frown it's going to be all right. And if It's not, you better hold on. And if the sky fell in tomorrow. and the earth it did not turn I'd still feel myself lucky that you rescued me, that you rescued me, from my world.

Stop & Think 03:50
When I was younger never listened to no one played it loose and fast. Nothing could stop me lived for the moment but it couldn't last. I said hey man, your on thin ice look in the mirror take some advice. You got to, stop and think, what your doing. stop and think, what your doing. cause you'll have a long, long time, to think about it when your dead. Gets to the point you got to slow down or get knocked out when you crash and burn. Better take a look at your self. hey man, your on thin ice look in the mirror you got to play nice. stop and think, what your doing. stop and think, what your doing. cause you'll have a long, long time, to think about it when your dead. hey man, your on thin ice look in the mirror you got to play nice. stop and think, what your doing. stop and think, what your doing. cause you'll have a long, long time, to think about it when your dead.

I like the way you sway I like the way you twitch I like the way you tremble right down to your fingertips. I like the way you move your body I like the way you move your body I like the way you move it to the rhythm of the music. I like the way you talk I like the way you walk I like the way you dance look like your in a trance. I like the way you move your body I like the way you move your body I like the way you move it to the rhythm of the music. What a woman like you can do what a woman like you can do to a man like me. What a man like me could be what a man like me could be with a woman like you, I want a woman like you. And I can't wait. I want to say, I like the way you dress I like the way you wear your hair I like the way you smile baby no one else can compare. I like the way you move your body I like the way you move your body I like the way you move it to the rhythm of the music.

I feel beat up, so beat up can't do right for doing wrong babe nothing I do ever pleases you am I bad, or is it you baby. And I don't expect for you to say thank you but a little smile would be nice I could leave you but where do I go every dream has it's price, that's right. I can't deny it can't do right for doing wrong I can't rectify it so in the the morning i'll be gone. I've got to stop, need to stop stop and think about what your doing can't let you ride a roughshod any more I can feel a storm is brewing. I can't respect someone who treats me this way girl your skating on thin ice just remember that things can turn around every dog can have it's day, until then well. I can't deny it can't do right for doing wrong I can't rectify it so in the the morning i'll be gone.

I hold your picture closer press it to my heart kept a light shining for you It's been a long time coming and I've been deaf and blind got to think some things through. I watch moonlight reflect on the water as midnight descends on the land. All I want to do is walk away erase you from my mind forget you move on but the hardest thing to say is goodbye. Got it all so wrong let you in my life got you under my skin baby. Your words were just all smoke and mirrors I wanted so much to believe. All I want to do is walk away erase you from my mind forget you move on but the hardest thing to say is goodbye. I try to talk to you but you walk out that door and when you run to him I die a little more don't want this, want this. All I want to do is walk away erase you from my mind forget you move on but the hardest thing to say is goodbye.

So where are we going talking about you and me. Are we going to get it on or is it just a maybe. This kind of indecision is playing with my mind this game of cat and mouse girl it just aint kind. You gotta know that I like you and all your crazy ways. But I can't wait forever for you to get your head straight. No I can't wait forever for you to get your head straight. Do you do or do you don't will you will or will you won't are you in or are you out got to say that i'm in doubt. Wish I knew why you do like to play all your games I don't have a clue why I'm still in the frame. Girl I like you and all your crazy ways. But I can't wait forever for you to get your head straight. No I can't wait forever for you to get your head straight. Don't know if I'm coming or going got no way of knowing with you. Girl I like you and all your crazy ways. But I can't wait forever for you to get your head straight. No I can't wait forever for you to get your head straight.

You had me all kind of tied up in a little shack I broke loose and I ran away I ain't never going back. I escaped that crazy woman I'm heading down the road you pulled up in your pickup truck said you'd help me with my load. There ain't no way of telling no way of telling no way of telling if your a friend or foe. I got myself to another town I'm drinking whisky and rye I look up but then I look down cause you just caught my eye. But there ain't no way of telling no way of telling no way of telling if your a friend or foe. I wake up to a boom box blasting in my ear I'm half asleep I'm coming to my senses then I smell fear. I can't move and I'm all trussed up and I'm handcuffed to the bed a light turns on and your standing there naked and then you said. There ain't no way of telling no way of telling no way of telling if your a friend or foe.

There's a fine line between love and hate theres a way of living that seals your fate theres a code of practice that we operate theres a thing called love you don't desecrate. So why? Tell me why? Do you want to burn it all down. You don't walk on water, you ain't no saint and I'm a lamb to your slaughter this is my complaint every bridge that you burn you got to live got to learn some day your gonna have nowhere left to run to. With you I feel I'm on shifting sand a handful of water dripping through my hand you built a house of cards on shady deals you buy your way and you beg or steal That's why, that's why, it all falls down. You don't walk on water, you ain't no saint and I'm a lamb to your slaughter this is my complaint every bridge that you burn you got to live got to learn some day your gonna have nowhere left to run to. You say It's the truth I find It's a lie It's all you know I got to say goodbye And It's a shame that your games, let the flame burn out. You don't walk on water, you ain't no saint and I'm a lamb to your slaughter this is my complaint every bridge that you burn you got to live got to learn some day your gonna have nowhere left to run to.

Sanctuary 03:44
Everywhere I go the woman is following me if I drive my car she's not far behind me she won't leave me alone can't get out of sight didn't answer my phone in the dead of night. I need sanctuary, I need sanctuary, Amen to that. Ain't no laughing matter you don't understand about it this ain't no laughing matter you don't understand about it. I went to the men's room doin my own thing she's standing right behind me watching me swing. I need some sanctuary, I need some sanctuary, I need some sanctuary, Amen to that. I got a fear that if I'm sinking I've got a fear that if I'm sinking I've got a fear that if I'm sinking to the bottom of the deep blue sea she'll still be following me. I need sanctuary, I need sanctuary, I need sanctuary, I need sanctuary, Amen to that.

Storm 03:30
Steam on my window blades on my glass I've driven to hell and back in the past. you said I would come through strange how it came true. And in the cold dead of night my faith can take a tumble but. I'll be there when you want me and I'll be there when you need me. I want to say what's on my mind but words are so hard to find do you have any feelings left for me or is loneliness ahead for me In the cold dead of night I sometimes don't think I can my faith can take a tumble but I'll hold on Wild winds and threat of thunder this river won't take me under I'll sail into a storm baby and still come through for you. And I'll be there when you want me and I'll be there when you need me. In the cold dead of night my faith can take a tumble but Wild winds and threat of thunder this river won't take me under I'll sail into a storm baby and still come through for you. And I'll be there when you want me and I'll be there when you need me.

about

The song's on this album were originally written in 2019 just before the Covid 19 pandemic closed everything down. A good friend of mine came to me and said. 'I have interest from an independant record label to record an album do you fancy doing something?' Of course I said yes, unfortunately we ended up going in different directions, he was going more pure blues and I was blowing the lid off and going more rocky. So we went our seperate ways, by this time I had seven songs written and didn't want to waste them so I wrote and found three more to complete the album, and here it is my 42nd album, one song is 38 years old and one is 30 years old, just never got around to finish them until now. I hope you enjoy them.
Best. Loz Netto
