The Specialist
One of the responsibilities of a songwriter is to note common human traits and invest them with special -- nay, profound -- importance by writing a song about them. And they are of profound importance. Otherwise, why would someone write...

H.U.A.C.
I was perfectly happy writing songs about girls and stuff, but once every hundred or so songs, I would remember that this was supposed to be a political band, like The Clash. Well, sort of like The Clash, but stuck...

Walk Away
I only had the first two verses, so wound up repeating them. A third verse was needed, explaining that, say, while the character desperately craved his freedom, and yearned to break free, he was unable to do so; because, he...

Fashion Patrol
When Sting wrote "Message In A Bottle" he presented it to the rest of the band with a guarantee that they had a #1 hit on their hands. Inspired by this, I made the same boast for "Fashion Patrol," but...

Life's Embarrassing Moments
I was somewhat perplexed by the controversy surrounding rapper Ice-T's 1992 song, "Cop Killer." If you don't recall it, there was much outrage about it from various police associations and politicians, to the point where Time-Warner, which released the album...

Cry Me A River
Billy Joel was once asked in an interview what the hardest thing to do onstage was, and without hesitation he replied, "whistling." There was a song on one of his early albums with a whistling intro, and he dreaded performing...

I Got A Girl
This was an attempt to simplify my lyrics, and I think it worked. What could be more basic than a love lust song trimmed down to "she" and "me." And, um, "freckles." It also forced me to look at the...

The Very Last Man On Earth
This marks the addition of keyboards to our sound. To be more specific, an early-model Casio with about 3/4 of a full 88 keys and four voices (piano, organ, harpsichord and either violin or clarinet, I forget which). You'd think...

Golddigger
This marked a turning point of sorts. I bought a small four-channel mixer and it dramatically improved our sound; making it much cleaner and.allowing us to place our instruments where we wanted them in the mix. Second, I was more...

Hangin' In The Park
I wrote this after watching a documentary on TV about junkies and prostitutes in Vancouver`s Downtown Eastside, a notoriously seedy area. It was just depressing, a panorama of failure and misery. It was and still is a tough place: An...

Just So You Know
The Beatles, on their first tour of North America, were frequently quizzed by reporters about how they wrote their music. To which they had a set of flippant answers: "With a blue pen"; "First we sit down. Then we write...

Caught By Computer
To paraphrase Otto von Bismarck, if you like laws and sausages and rock music, you should never watch them being made. This was an older song that we'd never recorded, maybe because it had one glaring flaw. That would have...

Me & J.B.
One day my cousin showed up with these lyrics about DamnYoko™ and wanted some help putting them to music. So I said sure, went off somewhere and returned a few days later with the body of the song. (I believe...

By The Lake (2)
This, unlike any of the other songs, has been heard by Famous Ears. Whose Famous Ears, you ask? Well, how about David Freaking Foster's Famous Ears, that's who. He was the main judge in a song contest sponsored by the...

Dirty Little Secret
One of the benefits of writing new songs, I found, was that they tended to be more complete. Previously I would concentrate on the lyrics of the first verses and chorus -- anything beyond that was usually just filler to...

Fire In The Waxworks
I roughly divide our recording "career" into three parts. The first, as I've mentioned before, was mainly jam sessions. We started adding vocals near the end of this period, but mostly on jokey material like our "rock opera" and the...

The Chase
The Band That Would Not Die™ is back! I've decided to feature these in more-or-less chronological order. Bonus: Because we improved markedly over the last year we played regularly, all of them will be better than this one! I wasn't...

Just Like A Woman
I'm coming to the end of a little project, and I think it only fair to share the joy -- or pain -- of it with you, my loyal readers. Back more years than I care to contemplate, I started...
