Flightless Fancy

ST&E's second CD effort largely completed in 2007.  This collection shows a bit more sophistication in composition and command of production than thier first CD "Penguin's in Heat".  Several songs have done reasonably well on sites such as Gargageband.com , IACmusic.com.  Most of these pieces reflect a more mature perspective on alternative, progressive pop music,  catering to the sensitivities, concerns, life issues of the 'over thirty' crowd.  ST&E utilizes three and 4 pice compositions of guitar, bass, drums vocals, and on occasion keys to fill out a big sound influenced by a variety of other popular artists such as Yes, Dada, Carlos Santana, Toad the Wet Sprocket.  As always on this site, all of ST&E's songs are free for the download subject to our use policy.  So take a listen, download, share and enjoy

thanks,

ST&E

	I Can Fix That There are too many times I think When our love seemed to go on the blink Wouldn't you say baby? Seems like everytime I turn around Something's broke and you're grinding me down Just a little bit maybe? Well I got my tools, I got my bag Let me get to work I'll be right back In just alittle bit Baby I'll deliver that bed of clover Just right after I smooth things over With you baby I can fix that I can fix that Tell ya what I'll do, I'm gonna do the right thing Cuz fixin' stuff is just another guy thing That you don't understand   When it breaks down 'tween you and me That's not something I can just let be Now won't you take my hand And let me fix that I can fix it baby Well I just need one more chance to make things right and turn it upside down I just need one more chance to save this night Please give me one more chance I'll show you true romance and tonight babe we will dance Baby can't you see, That I'm asking please? I can fix that.
Free I'm  lost Inside these fabric walls of my cube I'm forgotten Tho I've never have been recognized I'm captured Tho Im free to leave at any time Confused Tho I know exactly why I'm here Free me now I said I wanna be free I wanna be Free me now I said I wanna be free I wanna be free Free me now I said I wanna be free I wanna be free Free me now I wanna be I wanna be free I'm Trapped Inside a body I no longer recognise Time has come And stolen the very best part of me Rote are these rhythms of my life But I've forgotten just what they mean.  What purpose did they serve? What did I fail to see? With everyday that passes by I'm the willing slave. Grind, grind away Grind away at me Come and take your toll, then set me Free me now I wanna be free I wanna be free Free me now I wanna be free I said  Free me now Free me now Free me now I wanna be free I wanna be free Free	Bald n Gray Well I been spending way to many long hours Standing there in front o the mirror and I finally come to realize I'm Bald n Gray Everyday Im turning bald n gray Wah'ell See its falling out all around me watching that hair is going down drain now its plain to see Well it seems to me it was a prophecy Just looking at my ol man that I would be Transformed from a handsome boy to a fat old man with a shinnin baldy Bald I'm bald n gray I'm turning Bald in gray I'm turning Bald in grey Got my love handles here going super-size An my lovely black hair saying bye dee bye Got the gray hairs a-forming right before my eyes Better give the Grecian formula another try Don't know what 'bout the rest o yall Doctor tol' me gotta lower my cholesterol He say keep it up or you gonna hafta take a fall an Sent me on my way with a bottle o the Geritol Bald I'm bald n gray I'm turning Bald in gray I'm turning Bald in grey Bald n Gray Everyday I'm sayin to myself I'm bald n gray hey yeah Everythings falling out everythings falling out Oh what's that big fat ass in the mirror there Can't believe thats my posterior Gotta be 'bout the size o Lake Superior Gonna scare the little girls away!
Walks on the Beach She call him on the telephone she say Please don't leave me here now all alone So when are you gonna be coming home Please tell me cuz I really need to know Her friends have all but gone away This is where she lives, here is where he make her stay Nothin gonna change cuz she don't wanna say She keeps on praying for another day She walks on the beach She wanders on the nights when she can't sleep And she cries through the night Hoping every thing will be alright Too much of this Too little Too much of that Just another day just another night Just another fray she gotta go out and fight To keep her mind, so save her soul Satisfy her body, so to make her whole So she think that wouldn't it be nice Not to worry, not to have to go and think twice But this ain't what she went and asked for What she's saying is that this for sure ain't paradise She walks on the beach She wanders on the nights when she can't sleep And she cries through the night Hoping every thing will be alright	Disposable Man Why did you mess with me? so you wanna go an kick me out so you wanna go an take me down this is how you gonna clear your way grind me down push me 'round gotta do whatcha gotta do gotta bring in the ka-ching dingaling gonna go away if you want me to gonna get out da way o'your money thing cause thats just who I am Im disposable man Im so dependable and then you go and say now just go away your expendable oh your hand is so cold so cold so cold when you smile I feel your teeth fuck your noble code an all that shit you sold you stand you watch me bleed Why did you mess with me?
Bombs Away So Why you have this burning need to be cruel You turn every conversation into a duel You gotta cut me down, go an slice me clean Wanna piss me off, you gotta make me mean Cuz everything with you begins with a lie Cant fend you off no matter what I try   Just when I try to listen to what you say Thats the time you go an toss your hand grenade.   Bombs Away   Gotta let it out, gonna give it away Gonna lay you out w/ what I'm 'bout to say Oh! yer feeling safe with all your friends around Think you got it all, so yer standing proud Heard all the nasties you been sayin 'bout me No compassion for you, its beyond my 'bility So here it is, here it comes, gonna fly true Gonna toss my grenade, its been waiting for you! Bombs away Whatcha gonna do Whatcha gonna say?	I Don't Wanna Know Here I am Here I am with you Here i am wondering, thinking Bout all the things I should do So here I stand Here I stand I'm standing with you   Am I mad I gotta be mad if I am still here With you I dont want to know Just who your friends are I dont wanna know Just how your feeling this time You been dancing Too close to the fire You have no desire To play this thing right I dont want to know Who your friends are I dont want to know Just where you are Your dancing to your night dream You try to make a thing go right But your never seem all there sometimes Then you go and make me bear this everytime Anytime I want you to know I want you to know And I want you to know Who your friends are Just who your friends are
No One Leaves Alone No one goes home this time No one leaves alive No one goes home this time Alone Darkness falls around me I can't see the light Please wake me up Please wake me up And tell me I'm dreaming No one goes home this time No one leaves alive No one goes home this time Alone
