Girls Like Em Lucky
Spread the rust
Glitter on the sea
God, spare the sailor standing next to me
Which of us will meet the metal
when we spill our bodies on the shore?
Girls Like Em Lucky
Girls Like em lucky and alive
Girls Like em lucky
Girls Like em lucky and alive
Look at me
Look me in the eye
Is it me or you who has to
say goodbye
and which of us will win the medals
When we spin our stories on the shore?
Girls Like Em Lucky
Girls Like em lucky and alive
Girls Like em lucky
Girls Like em lucky and alive
And the engines came to halt with a bang
Majors calling off the war - and the bells rang
And we sang to souls far away
Girls Like Em Lucky
Girls Like em lucky and alive
Girls Like em lucky
Girls Like em lucky and alive

“Suddenly” by Derek Nicoletto
Where are all my friends?
It's happening again,
Suddenly.
Sitting at the bar
Sewing up the scars
Suddenly.
Suddenly,
He gave her back the ring
For no apparent thing
Out of nowhere
You know he’ll reappear
Chapter Ten is not where to begin
Ok, man, I’ll look again, the
Cops are here again
House is full of men
"Poor me,
"poor me."
Out of nowhere
Transatlantic friends
Calling me.
Why you calling me to
Give you little stamps
And hold her little hands?
Somehow you’re knocked up again, so
There’s no such place as suddenly
There’s no such place as suddenly
We’re nowhere near
Nowhere near
The beginning at the end.
(End) of credit line
Pizza tastes fine with
Lorazipam
And insulin.
Blockage and broke
But you hit the boat where th Porterhouse and eggs taste great.
Excuse me officer that man over there
lying to the skyand his wife
propped by his breath, almost to death.
Ok, man, I’ll look again, but
There’s no such place as suddenly
There’s no such place as suddenly
We’re nowhere near
Nowhere near
beginning at the end.
(End) of it all it bubbles black and blue
And the scratch, did it surprise you too?
Well, you know it probably will again….
There’s no such place as suddenly
There’s no such place as suddenly
We’re nowhere near Nowhere near
When we begin at the end (again).
At the end, again.
We’re nowhere near, when we begin at The End.

Kind Ghosts by Derek Nicoletto
“What now? What now?” I cried.
Cried to the summer night
And the summer night replied,
“Remember your name, sing it to the sky.
Go out and dance for yourself tonight.”
Kind ghosts will carry us
Carry greater plans
Care greater than we do to
Remember your name, sing it to the sky
Go out and dance for yourself tonight
Let go, let go or be dragged behind.
Kind ghosts will carry you home tonight.
On that beach, my dog beside me
I sang …my name. My name.
Remember your name, sing it to the sky
Go out and dance for yourself tonight
Let go, let go, or be dragged behind
Kind Ghosts will carry you home tonight
Let go, let go, or be dragged behind
Kind Ghosts will carry us home tonight.

Sugar
By Derek Nicoletto
Sugar, sugar honey pot
Sugar don’t know why she don’t want to ask me.
Sugar. Sugar’s trying so hard. Trying so hard to say what’s on her mind.
Licking the batter out of the bowl is everyone’s favorite part.
Delicious. Lick it up. Miss honey pot. Miss Honey Pot.
Old dog, new tricks. Well, you know how that goes.
Old dog, new tricks. Well, you know how that goes.
Sugar, sugar honey pot. Sugar don’t know why she don’t want to ask me.
Well, you’re so nasty. Trickery like that will get you everywhere. Everywhere.
You’re too much woman for one man to handle
and I’m too much man to take my time.
Delicious, lick it up. Miss honey pot.
Old dog, new tricks. Well, you know how that goes.
Old dog, new tricks. Well, you know how that goes.
Old dog, new tricks. Well, you know how that goes.
Old dog, new tricks. Well, you know how that goes.
Well now baby, tell me, do you want me? Am I yours?
Oh now baby, well, tell me do you want me? Am I yours?
Old dog, new tricks. Well, you know how that goes.
Old dog, new tricks. Well, you know how that goes.

Not Thinking About Me
(D. Meehan)
She is a kamakazi girl, striking
She could have anyone to her liking
I am an ordinary guy, mostly
Comfortable, ordinary life, ghostly
You’ll never know how I feel
Or the dirty dreams I seal
In the dark of my soul
As I’m getting old
But you’re probably somewhere in the city tonight not thinking about me
And there’s probably someone gonna hold you tight, not thinking about me
Not thinking about me
She ain’t no blushing ingénue, stranger
She’s been around a block or two, danger
I am a button down machine, grinning
Solid, responsible and clean, winning
But I’m getting old
You're probably somewhere in the city tonight not thinking about me
There's probably someone gonna hold you tight not thinking about me
You're probably waking in the morning light not thinking about me...

Hustler with a Rescue Plan
Music & lyrics by Derek Nicoletto
© 2010 by 7 Trick Pony LLC
Me make music on canvas clean
Gonna paint a path out of beige and bleak
Instead of selling rust,
Start sweatin’ green.
Gonna use a brush
My mama made with
A beggar in a high hat
Hustler with a rescue plan
I’m gonna make it out.
Hustler (gonna make it, gonna make it out)
A Hustler with a Rescue Plan.
Me make music, splatter melody
Up stroke down paint out of beige and bleak.
Instead of pimping dust, start smelling green
Gonna use the brush my mama made me with.
A beggar in a high hat
A Hustler with a Rescue Plan
I’m gonna make it out.
Hustler (gonna make it, gonna make it out)
A Hustler with a Rescue Plan.
A Beggar in a High Hat
A Hustler with a Rescue Plan
Salon de la Rue des Moulins
Will make a fool out of Satan.
A mountain of cash’ll
Make a man out of me
Brush a man out of…
Hustler (gonna make it, gonna make it out)
A Hustler with a Rescue Plan.

Easy Out
Verse 1
On the mound of ice I could meet your eyes
Leaned in for a kiss goodnight
Touched your navel just below
Bow shot an arrow
Said I was in trouble
Chorus 1
Easy out, easy out, then goodbye
Easy out, easy out, you were so
Sweet for a minute
Sweet for a minute
Verse 2
You like anything orange.
Snagged my finger on your blood sugar monitor cord.
Move the cats and the shirt and the bedspread
Black keys of my synth in your back
Touched your navel just below
Bow shot an arrow
Said I was in trouble
Chorus 2
Easy out, easy out, then goodbye
Easy out, easy out, you were so
Sweet for a minute
Sweet for a minute
Bridge
I’m in trouble now
Outro
Easy out, easy out, then goodbye
Easy out, easy out, you were so
Sweet for a minute
Sweet for a minute
Then goodbye, then goodbye.

"Champion"
Run like Rocky, baby
Run from yourself
Run to your new guy
Pretend your iPhone’s dead
You ran from the Village
To the Upper West Side
Run and you take yourself
From yourself you can’t hide
Run to your chandelier and his droopy eyes
I hope he eats your kisses
they taste like suicide
I took sleeping pills
I know you make the cash
I love rock music too much
Rock music loved me back!
Run run run like a champion
Like a champion, Run
Run, run run run run run
like a champion
Like a champion
Run
So he calls you “peanut”?
So did your other trick before!
I hope your chandelier
crashes down
to the floor
Pucker your pencil lips
Push out E’s and I’s
You Leave out the L’s that make hear the lies.
I took some sleeping pills
I know you make the cash
I love rock music too much?
rock music loved me back.
Run like a champion
Like a champion, Run
Run, like a champion
Like a champion
Run
Run run run run
Rock music loved me back!

Take Medicine
And now I've heard your symptoms
And I feel your pain
I've made diagnosis
I can heal it all away.
Your spirit needs a cleansing,
your soul needs saved.
I’ll extract your poison past and
Wipe away the stain.
Cuz you'll never find
from another guy
your only cure, so
o-o-open wide.
If you’re ready,
you’re willing
and able
to follow
directions
relax and
o-o-open wide.
Take medicine take medicine, take medicine o-o-open wide.
Take medicine, take medicine, take medicine o-o-open wide.
V2
Sweat slides around your face.
Mix it against mine
Slippery elixir
that’ll make you glide to heaven
where a kind ghost’ll make you dance
happy apparition in a trance
fog lift, soul shift, grab my wrist and
God-des will lean down and kiss you from the sky.
Cuz you'll never find
from another guy
your only cure, so
o-o-open wide.
If you’re ready,
you’re willing
you’re able
to follow
directions
relax and
o-o-open wide.
Take medicine, take medicine, o-o-open wide.
Take medicine, take medicine, o-o-open wide.
Let’s go
Swallow it, my medicine.
It’ll make you numb, til you spinnin’
And you can’t slow down
Your heart beats fast
Desperately hopin
That this gon’ last
But you came down harder than you went up
Now that you tried you can’t get it enough
It says on the bottle, “side effects” dizziness fatigue and drive for sex
Plus, it’s highly addictive, need it, need it? Instinctive
Good luck well you better got to rehab now that you’ve had it there’s no turning back!
If you’re ready,
you’re willing
and able
to follow
directions
relax and
o-o-open wide.
Take medicine, take medicine, o-o-open wide.
Take medicine, take medicine, o-o-open wide.
If you’re ready,
you’re willing
and able
to follow
directions
relax and
Are you ready and willing
Are you ready and willing?

Alabaster Sky
by Derek Nicoletto
VERSE ONE
Tell me a story,
this winter morning needs some sunlight
Tell me a story
one where the hero hasn’t wasted
all his life.
Feather pillow, comfort me.
Don’t leave out
Don’t leave out the part where he…
(la la la la la la)
VERSE TWO
Tell me a story
One where you never need your lifeline
New England waves,
Sandy granddaughters
Fill your life.
Your distractions crackling
in the fire.
Don’t leave out the part where we
La la la Love.
CHORUS
Ready to go
Ready to drive
Ready to dream about
Anywhere else but now
Shovel the truth
off to the side
Clear me a path for imaginary life
Through an
alabaster sky
Words will wing us high,
Flurry and flood
All of the blood into the white.
VERSE THREE
Tell me a story
One where I never need a bloodline -
Where less than a thousand milligrams
could keep me
me alive
You’ll be there to comfort me
Don’t leave now,
Not before the part where we
La La La La Love
CHORUS TWO
Ready to go
Ready to drive
Ready to dream about
Anywhere else but now
Shovel the truth off to the side
Clear me a path for
imaginary life
Pause to magnify
every snowy lie
Flurry and flood
all of the blood into the white.
