Lyrics

       

01. Famous For Nothing

 

Growing up in a neighborhood trying to avoid drug pushers, the police, your parents, and other unsavoury characters, blowing up police cars, and street politics

02. God Willing

 

An ode to our friends who are no longer with us and a reminder to say what you need to people because you never know when they're going to leave this world.

03. The State Of Massachusetts

 

When you have kids a whole new set of priorities presents itself to you. It's your decision to live your life appropriately or avoid growing up and paying the consequences.

04. Tomorrow's Industry

 

The world is changing, and oft times it's not for the better. The ways of getting by and the values of yesteryear are slowly being corroded by the "all-important" search for the almighty dollar.

05. Echoes On "A." Street

 

Being on tour all the time can be trying on you. The unconditional love from family and best friends can be a comfort and solace.

06. Vices And Virtues

 

Sometimes your path is predetermined, but sometimes you dig your own grave.

07. Surrender

 

Some traits and characteristics run in the family, and they're not always good ones.

08. (F)lannigan's Ball

 

Our take on the traditional "Lannigan's Ball". Lots of shoutouts to friends and relations.

09. I'll Begin Again

 

You do the crime you pay with time, and everybody deserves a second chance.

10. Fairmount Hill

 

Our take on the traditional Spancill Hill.

11. Loyal To No One

 

I guess this is about the ugly side of pride. You hold on to the bitter end, but taking it to the grave does nobody any good.

12. Shattered

 

People put up a good front, but they're not always what they seem to be when you get to know them. Your image of them is "shattered" when you find out what they're really like.

13. Rude Awakenings

 

The morning after... Ouch!

14. Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya

 

Our re-working of the classic traditional tune, the template of which has been used by many great bands before us.

15. Never Forget

 

An ode to what really matters in life: Family.
