BLACKJACK
(Nick DePalma)

Came from the wrong side of town
Caught in a spiral down to the ground
Luck has faded away
Now you’re working all night and day

Blackjack Never look back
7 days a week I got a monkey on my back
Life is passing by Time that you’ll never get back

Blackjack Never look back
7 days a week I got a monkey on my back
Life is passing by And that’s a fact

Everything I do is all wrong
Rolling the dice but it never spot on
Got a hard luck on my sign
Everytime I feel I’m doing fine

Blackjack Never look back
You’re just someone on the wrong side of the tracks
It’s water under the bridge Time you’ll never get back

Blackjack Never look back
Night and day I got a monkey on my back
Life is passing by And that’s a fact

solo

Blackjack Never look back
You’re just someone on the wrong side of the track
Life is passing by And that’s a fact


Born on the wrong side of town
When all the secrets try to keep you down
It’s a crying shame to be poor
Borrow from others when nothing is yours


Blackjack Never look back
7 days a week I got a monkey on my back
Life is passing by, it stops you dead in your tracks

Blackjack Never look back
7 days a week I got a monkey on my back
Water under the bridge Stop dead in your tracks

Blackjack Never look back
7 days a week I got a monkey on my back
Life is passing by Time you’ll never get back

Blackjack Never look back
You’re just someone on the wrong side of the tracks
What was it all for Dead in your tracks

BlackJack
BlackJack
BlackJack
BlackJack

STEEL WHEELS
(Nick DePalma)

Handed the ticket to the driver
All I paid was a fiver
All I heard from you was cricket
Told my boss where to stick it

Like a train rolling down the track
I aint never coming back
Like a lover that you steal
Sneaking out on steel wheels

Turned around and I see her
Looked into my rearview mirror
Packed up my belongings
And you’re never gonna find me

Like a train running down the track
I aint never coming back
Signature inked the deal
Skipping out on steel wheels

solo

Like a train rolling down the track
I ain’t never coming back
Don’t know where I’ll be in a year
Taking off on steel wheels

Like a train rolling down the track
I ain’t never coming back
Don’t know where I’ll be in a year
Making a break on steel wheels

25 more miles I got to go
leave you eating dirt on the side of the road
Checked up on my phone who called to see
It’s been only 5 minutes
You already miss me

Like a train rolling down the track
I aint never coming back
Steel wheels hit the road
Opportunity at every door

GIRL GONE BAD

(Nick DePalma)

Don’t be fooled by the smile on her face
Don’t be fooled the way she walks with grace
She’s a girl gone bad
Going to put you back into your place

Won’t tell lies, Won’t tell lies, Won’t Tell
Slip into the night
Won’t tell lies, Won’t tell lies, Won’t Tell
Slip into the night

Don’t be fooled by the wiggle in her walk
Don’t be fooled by the sly of her talk
She’s a girl gone bad
Going to put you on the rocks

Won’t tell lies, Won’t tell lies, Won’t Tell
Slip into the night
Won’t tell lies, Won’t tell lies, Won’t Tell
Slip into the night

Won’t tell lies, Won’t tell lies
Slip into the night
Won’t tell lies, Won’t tell lies
Slip into the night

Don’t be fooled by the wink in her eye
Don’t be fooled by her dresses so tight
She’s a girl gone bad
Gonna slip into the night

Won’t tell lies, Won’t tell lies, Won’t Tell
Slip into the night
Won’t tell lies, Won’t tell lies, Won’t Tell lies
Slip into the night

GRIM REAPER

(Nick DePalma)

One day you’re going to be
Going to a better place
You’re going to have
Death staring at you
Right in your face
All the people
From the past
You know that your
Your time won’t last

Grim Reaper taps you
Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go
Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go
Grim Reaper Grim Reaper

Coming in the middle of the night
It’s going to feel so right
When your hour has come
And your number is up

Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go
Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go
Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go
Grim Reaper taps you

Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go
Grim Reaper taps you

Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go
Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go
Grim Reaper taps you
It’s time to go

HAND OF FATE
(Nick DePalma)

Lord have mercy Have mercy on me
Please have mercy With my destiny

You make your choice
When the feeling’s right
When you hear the call
You make your strike
And then the wrongs come
From bad advice

Lord have mercy Hope it’s not too late
Please have mercy With your hand of fate

I tried to do good
But I lost my way
You don’t seem to care
You’ve got nothing to say
I know I should’ve learned
It’s the price I’m going to pay

Lord have mercy Hope it’s not too late
Please have mercy With your hand of fate

I met this little girl
She set her eyes on me
Gave her everything I could
Then I set her free
Then she packed her suitcase
Took a flight overseas

Lord have mercy Lord have mercy and faith
Please have mercy With your hand of fate

Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on me
Please have mercy With my destiny

Lord have mercy Lord have mercy and faith
Please have mercy With your hand of fate
MADE IN THE SHADE
(Nick DePalma)

Took a bus downtown trying to meet you baby
Everybody says we’re a match made in heaven
Pull down on the handle
On a slot machine
Now we’re riding around in limousines

Good things come to those who wait
Not to those who push their way
Breaking up is hard to take
Now we got it made in the shade

Got it made in the shade 3x

Took a chance right there like a casino gambler
My blood running hot and feeling frantic
Pulled you in close
Like you’re my queen
Now we’re riding around in limousines

Good things come to those who wait
Not to those who push their way
Our passionate love is hard to break
Now we got it made in the shade
Now we got it made in the shade

Solo

Good things come to those who wait
Not to those who push their way
Breaking up is hard to take
Now we got it made in the shade
Now we got it made in the shade

Now we’re laughing all the way to the bank
Our strong love is what we got to thank

Good things come to those who wait
Not to those who push their way
Our passionate love is hard to break
Now we got it made in the shade
Now we got it made in the shade
Now we got it made in the shade
Now we got it made in the shade
Now we’re made in the shade
Now we’re made in the shade

 

STILL DOING TIME
(Nick DePalma)

One day I’m going to follow all my dreams
I’m going to show. You’re going to know
What it means

If that day it never comes
I’m going to fade. You got it made
Into oblivion

Don’t you know it’s just emotion
There’s no need to be so down
When the weight is on your shoulders
Just watch the wheels spinning ‘round

I used to have a few dreams
but they all just fade away
But I still can’t get you out of my mind
I guess you don’t know what it means
When you have to pay and pay
In my heart I’m still doing time

One day I’m going to break down these walls
You’re so shy. You want to cry
The sky will fall

Now all those good times they’re all gone
I’m in my head. Our love is dead
And now we’re done

All we are is pure emotion
There’s no need to be so down
Just a ship across the ocean
And all across this town

solo

I used to have a few dreams
but they all just fade away
But I still can’t get you out of my mind
I guess you don’t know what it means
When you have to pay and pay
In my heart I’m still doing time


I don’t get the same feeling as before
The tide has turned. The fire burned
I’m out the door

Now it’s all been said and done
I’ll take my chance. Under the circumstance
And I’ll be gone

Don’t you know it’s just emotion
There’s no need to be so down
When the weight is on your shoulders
Just watch the wheels spinning ‘round

I used to have a few dreams
but they all just fade away
But I still can’t get you out of my mind
I guess you don’t know what it means
When you have to pay and pay
In my heart I’m still doing time

Still doing time
still doing time
still doing time
still doing time

LIVING THE DREAM
(Nick DePalma)

One room chicken shack
No clothes on my back
No coffee for my cream
That’s called living the dream

No money to spend
Can’t pay the rent
And I Got not green

Why do all these things get so obscene
Living the dream
Why do so many people get mean

Why do awful things happen to me
Living the dream Living the dream

Hurricane scream
That’s living the dream

Can’t get out of bed
Feeling half dead
Till you wanna scream

Why do all these things get so obscene
Living the dream
Why do so many people get mean
Living the dream
Why do awful things happen to me
Living the dream Living the dream

Why do all these things get so obscene

BALLBREAKER
(Nick DePalma)

You’re trolling all over town
You’re shooting off your big mouth
Think your opinion’s the only one right
But your head ain’t screwed on tight

Think you’re the only one
But you sure ain’t that fun
Think you’re a real smart cookie
But you’re just a rookie
And you can’t stop my run

If you’re good as you are
Than you’d be a fucking star
Look to your own
And mind your own business
Cause you ain’t gone that far

Ballbreaker Painmaker

You’re talking like shit
And you think you’re all it
That smile on your lips
As you shoot from the hip
And you’re cracking on that whip

Think you’re telling the truth
But you ain’t got the proof
Think you got soul
But you’re just a troll
And you’re acting like a fool

Ballbreaker Ballbreaker
you’re wasting time breaking balls
Ballbreaker Painmaker
you done nothing at all
Ballbreaker Ballbreaker
Shooting your mouth over town

You’re nothing but a clown

You’re talking like trash

That smile on your lips
As you shoot from the hip
And you’re cracking on that whip

RIP OFF BLUES
(Nick DePalma)

Ripped off on the street
Swiped my credit card
Broke into my house
Stole my brand new car
Got a beautiful girl
My best friend stole that too
You gonna steal from me I steal from you

This is a rip off of bb king
Everyday I play the blues
On my six string

Jacked my bank account
Then I got the boot
Hacked my credit card
You Took all my loot
Got my girls best friend
But You stole that too
You steal from me I swear I steal from you

This is a rip off of bb king
Everyday I have the blues
Again and again

solo

This is a rip off of bb king
Everyday I have the blues
Can’t trust best friends

This is a rip off of bb king
What goes around comes around
again and again

Plundered all my gold
Thieves stole my money
Hijacked my computer
Then they started running
Got a beautiful girl
My best friend stole that too
You gonna steal from me I steal from you

This is a rip off of bb king
Once you steal from me
You do it again

This is a rip off of bb king
what goes around comes around
around again

CROSS THAT BRIDGE
(Nick DePalma)

We’re gonna cross that bridge when we get there

PAYBACKS ARE A BITCH
(Nick DePalma)

I found out
That you’re putting me on
Ain’t no doubt
That I wasn’t wrong

There’s a time and place
Karma stares you in the face
I’m not trying to hurt no one but this time
I’ll treat you fine

Got you by your cheating heart
I took it and I ripped it apart
Had it with your dirty tricks
Paybacks are a bitch

Running off your mouth
At fake social graces
Whispering Lies
Showing your two faces

I know that you wrote the book
Got there by hook or crook
Not trying to hurt no one, but this time
I’ll treat you fine

Got your backstabbing heart
I crushed it and I ripped it apart
Rumours, lies and snitch
Paybacks are a bitch


Solo


You pulled the wool
Right over my eyes
Heartbroken Betrayed
Conquer and Divide


There’s a time and place
Karma back in your face
I’m not trying to hurt no one but this time
I’ll treat you fine



Got your double crossing heart
I took it and I ripped it apart
Had it with your dirty tricks
Paybacks are a bitch

You pulled the wool
Right over my eyes
Heartbroken Betrayed
Conquer and Divide


There’s a time and place
Karma back in your face
I’m not trying to hurt no one but this time
I’ll treat you fine



Got your double crossing heart
I took it and I ripped it apart
Had it with your dirty tricks
Paybacks are a bitch

BIG CITY’S GONNA RIP YOU OFF
(Nick DePalma)
Working two jobs You never got paid
You fell in love It began to fade
You won a million dollars It frittered away
Gang running loose Pulled a switchblade

Big City’s gonna rip you off
Broken Heart’s gonna make you tough
No-one knows the love you scattered
Soon you’ll find it doesn’t matter

Labour of love 7 days a week
Can’t get a girl You’re on a losing streak
Once you were young but now you’re old
Once you were hot but now you’re cold

All the gold will turn to rust
Then your money will bite the dust
Stock market’s going down in flames
Then your money’s going down the drain

Then your wife will disappear
Restraining order keeps you clear
Then your friends will say so long
When the money is all gone

Solo

Big City’s gonna rip you off
Broken Heart’s gonna make you tough
No-one knows the love you suffer
Gonna send you back to your mother

Stock market’s going up in flames
Then your money’s going down the drain
All your gold will turn to rust
Then your money will bite the dust

Gotta a bank loan drowning in debt
You found a girl She hasn’t cum yet
You had lots of money You lost it in bets
Bum on the street asks for a cigarette

Big City’s gonna rip you off
Broken Heart’s gonna make you tough
No-one knows the pain and batter
Soon you’ll find it doesn’t matter

And your health is down the drain
You’ll be reeling up in pain
No one knows the love you suffer
I’ll send you back to your mother

Gotta a bank loan you got mountains of debt
You found a girl She hasn’t cum yet
You had lots of money You lost it in bets
Gang on the street tore you to shreds

Big City’s gonna rip you off
Broken Heart’s gonna make you tough
Soon you’ll find it doesn’t matter
And you know your love is scattered
BANDAGE BLUES
(Nick DePalma)

I’m slaving away
Way across the river
Thinking of you
We can’t be together
I’ve got these 12-inch scars on my back
I’m carrying a 10 foot cotton sack
Forget that damage
Put another bandage on these blues

I’m seeing you’re holding hands
You’re walking around with another man
I got blood all over my hands
Playing this guitar really bad
Forget that damage
Put another bandage on these blues

Solo

My legs are broke
Can’t walk down the street
My voice is rough
I can’t even speak
I got mud
All over my face
From being kicked
All over the place
Forget that damage
Put another bandage on these blues
GUITAR’S IN EXILE
(Nick DePalma)

Ban all the songs
That show you the wrongs
Burn all the pages
The wisdom of the ages

I’m taking my six string
When I hear that train rolling

Black out this line
Don’t you sing that rhyme
Edit out that clip
Don’t show suffering

I’m taking my six string
When I hear that train rolling

Suppress the information
That gives you liberation
Permit the pollution
Of the institution

All my guitars
They’re in exile

Big Dollars Talk
Exploitation never stops
Greed makes me sick
Don’t show suffering

I’m taking my six string
When I hear the gods calling

Delete all the lines
You can’t sing that rhyme
Don’t show the truth
You must be aloof

I’m in exile
I’ll be just a while

Don’t show the bad side
You must learn to keep it inside
Protest all the while
That you’re in exile

I’m taking my six string
When I hear the birds humming

My guitar’s in Exile
Hang on gonna be just a while
Taking my six string
When I hear that whistle blowing
SMOKE AND MIRRORS
(Nick DePalma)

It was leaked out, and You covered it up
What’s this all about, Power corrupts

Action Take one Your elaborate sets
What kind of hoax are you gonna play next
You’re all actors Many disguises
Scams and lies Money and Stardom
The truth is right there and you can’t see it
The truth is right there smoke and mirrors

History is faked by families of crooks

Smoke and mirrors You’re all cheaters
Executive orders World destroyers
Agent lies Before your eyes
Shills and liars Paid to conspire

Dead Presidents Smoke and Mirrors
Dead Princesses Smoke and Mirrors
Stone monoliths Pyramids And Sphinx
Hoax and schemes Kings And Queens
Assassination Fakers Legend makers

TIMES ARE TOUGH
(Nick DePalma)

I bought a brand new sports coat
Just the other day
It cost 200 dollars thats a whole weeks pay
Don’t’ know where to get the money Guess I’ll scrimp and save
The bank wont give me a loan cause they think I’m insane

Times are tough
My coupons ain’t enough
Times are tough
Can’t stretch that dollar enough
Times are Tough
Poker call your bluff
Times are tough
they’re rougher then rough

Went to the grocery try to buy some steak
Looked into my wallet but my cheque is always late
Guy behind me said hey man move that line
Hang on a minute buddy I’m looking for a dime

Times are tough
My coupons ain’t enough
Times are tough
Can’t stretch that dollar enough
Times are tough
Poker call your bluff
Times are tough
They’re rougher than rough

Solo

Try to take my baby out for the night
Go to the bar guys start to fight
Went to buy a round of drinks for me and my date
Credit card declined and so was my fate


Times are tough
My coupons ain’t enough
Times are tough
Can’t stretch that dollar enough
Times are tough
Poker call your bluff
Times are tough
They’re rougher than rough

IT BACKFIRED ON YOU
(Nick DePalma)
Walking, walking with my girl around town
Laughing and dancing all around
All because you put me down
It Backfired on you
Now look who’s blue
It was a blessing in disguise cause then she looked into my eyes
She’s in my arms

You got the right shot
You think you’re so hot
You put me on the spot
To show off what you got
It Backfired on you
It backfired on you
It was a blessing in disguise cause then she looked into my eyes
She’s in my arms

Showboating ‘round town
To the girls all around
Show off your triple crown
Trying to put me down
It Backfired on you
It backfired on you
It was a blessing in disguise when she looked into my eyes
She’s in my arms

It backfired on you Now look who’s blue
It backfired on you
She’s in my arms won’t do no harm She’s in my arms Not in your charms
It backfired on you Trying to make me look a fool
It backfired on you
She’s in my arms Not in your charms She’s in my arms Not in your charms
It backfired on you Who cares about your tattoos
It backfired on you
She’s in my arms wont do no harm She’s in my arms Not in your charms
It backfired on you Bragging won’t do
Who cares about your reviews
She’s in my arms wont do no harm She’s in my arms Not in your charms
SOMEBODY STOP THIS PAIN
(Nick DePalma)

She sailed off into the sunset With another guy
I met another girl And moved on with my life
But Then one day When everything was fine
Guess who came back To be mine mine mine

She threw dust in my eyes And I just couldn’t see
She played all kinds Of dirty tricks on me

Somebody stop this pain
It’s driving me insane
Like a runaway train
Coming Round the bend
Love story never ends

Somebody stop this pain
Why you play this game
Ripping out my heart
Right from the start
Tearing us apart


She pushed me too far So I went away
I found another girl The very next day
And then one day When everything was fine
Guess who came back To be mine mine mine

Somebody stop this pain
It’s driving me insane
Like a runaway train
Coming round the bend
Love story never end

Somebody stop this pain
It’s like a poker game
Bluffing who’s the best
Putting to the test
It’s all a big mess


she disappeared nowhere to be found
found another girl somehow she broke us down
she tried to hurt me with her lies
I turned the tables and i made her cry

Somebody stop this pain
Why do you play this game
Ripping out my heart
Right from the start
Tearing us apart

Somebody stop this pain
It’s like a poker game
Bluffing who’s the best
Putting to the test
It’s all a big mess


Somebody Stop this pain
It’s driving me insane
Like a runaway train
coming round the bend
love story never ends

FAKE NEWS BLUES

Taking up all my precious time
