One Way Thinking
Shirley Jackson, Socan 2002
You got me mixed up in some kind of way
I didn't know I'd have to look both ways
You got me headed down a dead end lane
Now I only got myself to blame.
You got me thinking
You got me one way thinking on a two way street.
I walk in circles with these two left feet,
Going the wrong way down a one way street
I didn't know I'd have to watch those signs
They say that hind-sight, leave it to the blind.
You got me thinking
You got me one way thinking on a two way street.
Harmonica solo
You got me wonder if it's up or down.
I doubt myself each time I turn around.
You got me wondering if it's left or right.
I'm feeling crazy and I'm losin' sight.
You got me thinking
You got me one way thinking on a two way street.
You got me thinking
You got me one way thinking on a two way street

Losin' Faith
Shirley Jackson, Socan 2002
See the sadness in her eyes
As she sits and cries.
She's given up;
She don't even try.
Loneliness won't go away.
She's lost her faith.
Since God took
Her child away.
Bridge
She ran from home,
Looking for love
So full of faith in God above.
Trusting everything would be
Just like that childhood fantasy.
Now she cries her lonely tears.
She's full of fear.
Her hope and dreams
Fade with the years.
Solos

She's full of fear.
Her hope and dreams
Fade with the years.

Three Things Worth Doin'
Shirley Jackson, Socan 2002
Momma you woke me from my sleep.
You picked me up and showed me just what to keep.
You said there's only three things worth doin'
To save myself from total ruin.
Momma you woke me from my sleep.
Momma those three things you said
Keep rolling around in circles inside my head.
You said there's only one way to be
That's living honestly.
Momma you woke me from my sleep.
Well Momma you said happiness
Is growing deep inside everyone of us.
You said there's no one else to blame
If we only look back in shame.
Oh Momma you woke me from my sleep.
Guitar Solo
Harmonica Solo
Well Momma that third thing you said
Keeps tumblin' around in circles inside this head.
You said there ain't no greater wealth
Than looking after health.
Oh Momma you woke me from my sleep.
Momma you saved me from the deep.
You picked me up and showed me just what to keep.
Oh Momma
Momma
Oh Momma
Momma
Momma …....

No Compromise
Shirley Jackson © Socan 2006
I kept knocking on some door,
You said come back later maybe after four.
Maybe they’re right, maybe they know
It’s time I started letting you go.
All my friends said get over you
But it’s not that easy when I’m stuck like glue.
Maybe they’re right, maybe I’m wrong.
Babe you’ve been leading me on.
(bridge)
Every time I turn around you introduce
Some lame, phoney invalid excuse.
Don’t get me wrong, make no mistake
I won’t fall for another heartache.
I’ve been told you’ve been sneakin’ around
With every other girl in town.
Maybe it’s true or maybe it’s lies
But Honey I don’t compromise.
Solos
Bridge
Last verse out.
Soli out.

Can You Hear Me?
In memory of Layla Janice Wirchenko- 1972-1976)(
Shirley Jackson © Socan 2001
I can feel you in the quiet night.
See your shadows in the morning light.
Can you hear me, hear me
Calling your name?
I can feel you in each afternoon
I can sense you there in every room
Can you hear me, hear me
Calling your name?
As I breathe in that morning breeze
I can touch you with each falling leaf
As I reach out on each moonbeam
Just to hold you in each thought and dream.
Sax solo
As I breathe in that morning breeze
I can touch you with each falling leaf
As I reach out on each moonbeam
Just to hold you in each thought and dream.
Counting memories in each drop of rain
I can feel you in this heart of pain.
Can you hear me, hear me
Calling your name?
Can you hear me, hear me
Calling your name?

I Feel For You
Shirley Jackson, Socan 2006
Oh Honey, what's that shakin'?
Could it be your poor heart breaking?
Now sugar, what you missing?
Could it be all my kissing?
Oh Babe what's it gonna take
For you to realize your mistake?
Think what a conscious could do for you,
Oh Babe, I feel for you.
Now honey, why you hurting?
Could it be from all your flirtin'
Why do you feel so lonely
The truth gets out
Once they get to know you.
Oh Babe what you gonna do
When your past catches up to you
Oh Babe, I feel for you.
Solos
Now Honey, how you feeling
After all that you've been dealing out?
Now sugar why you crying
Could it be from all your lying?
Oh Babe who you gonna trust
After all you've chased in lust?
Oh Babe, I feel for you.
Oh Babe, I feel for you.

You Can Have My Husband
D. LaBostrie
You can have my husband but
Please don't mess with my man
You can have my husband but
Please don't mess with my man

Comfort Food
Shirley Jackson, Socan 2006
I'm just sitting here spending nights alone.
What a sorry, sorry sight waiting by that phone.
My Friday nights at the Superstore,
Filling up my empty cart
I'm trying to mend my broken heart.
Saturday I go downtown
Just to take a little look around.
Revenge is sweet, I found a lover
He looks just like he could be your brother.
After you treated me so rude,
I'm gonna fill right up on comfort food.
Bass solo
Organ Solo
No more Fridays at the Superstore
No more looking for a little bit more.
No worries about an empty cart.
I finally mended my broken heart.
Your brother, he's not so rude.
He makes real fine comfort food.
