Nobody's Hero
By Jay Kim

If you want to find
Your only common line
Look between two souls
Facing border line
Precious time we've lost
Holding onto the past
Taking what we've thought

Faster than the furious
Cooler than the curious
To become nobody's hero

Something about the most of us
Living like the famous
Becoming nobody's hero

We cried

If you want it bad enough
It will be yours by now
Play the name game
Those already dead
Figures of life
One in the whole cast
Changing what you thought

Sober than the serious
Lighter than delirious
Becoming nobody's hero

Better than the best of us
Living like the famous
Becoming nobody's hero

And we cried

When you want to ask
Come by yourself
Taking that chance
Making connection
Two ordinary beings
When you're ready for change
Come by yourself

Faster than the furious
Cooler than the curious
To become nobody's hero

Something about the most of us
Living like the famous
Becoming nobody's hero

And we cried

Separate Ways

Separate Ways
By Jay Kim

Everyone has an order
But we're not in line
Bending the rules
Nobody's out of sync
Tonight could be a paradise
In our days

But we all go
Separate ways
And we all sing
Separate ways

Sunny days
Favorite kind
Depending on who you are
You're on a common ground
Tomorrow could be a paradise
In our lives

But we all go
Separate ways
And we all sing
Separate songs

Don't ask too much
If you can't take it
Don't hesistate
If you can't fake it
Sing with me now
Or we'll never sing again
Sing with me now

Friends in circle
Take your faults
Depending on who they are
No wait in line
Midnight takes us to the otherside
End of our days

But we all go
Separate ways
And we all sing
Separate songs

Don't ask too much
If you can't take it
Don't hesistate
If you can't fake it
Sing with me now
Or we'll never sing again
Sing with me now

Distance

Distance
By Jay Kim

Was it too cold at night
Was it too hot in the morning
That woke you up
To think about me

You know it isn't over
We don't have a solution
We just love each other too much

You said we can't talk anymore
You said it ain't gonna work
But you still cry
When you think about me

You know it isn't over
We need to work out
Our distance

How long can this go on
When we're so far away
How many times I have told you
This is the only way
So believe in me

We belong together
There is no tomorrow
If we can't be together

I got your letter today
I read it over
And it made me cry
Now I know

We can't be together
Must forget each other
There is no other way

How long can this go on
When we don't know
How many times you have told me
This is the only way

I have to get over it
I still can't believe it
But its true

I know its over
I don't have to believe it
That its true

Was it too cold at night
Was it too hot in the morning
That woke you up

Crooked Pieces

Crooked Pieces
By Steve Zimmerman

Hey look at this
I'm shattered from the uptown glitz and crazy
Lights outside

Left and right
Its feeding back
Black and white
Relax until its past your time

Otherwise
There is no surpise
Its on your face
Its in your eyes
Orders not your style

Mixes from the separate room
A taste of whats consider good
It'll take a while

If you're sure to less accept
To looking back don't second guess
Two years past the ones who left
Someday you'll laugh and ask yourself

To imitate the art of those
Excess fashions that you chose
Lucky all you need to know
All you need to know

Listen, what you want only comes once year
Stay, take the time to stick with what you think is fare
Cry once, don't resent the ones or way they brought you here
Second try is everybody's dream

Reorder all the crooked pieces
One by one around this town
Remind me now what this is
Sit back and watch me love her
Send me back to screentest now
Cause I'm about to bring some trouble to you

Listen, what you want only comes once year
Stay, take the time to stick with what you think is fare
Cry once, don't resent the ones or way they brought you here
Second try is everybody's dream

Hey look at this
I'm shattered from the uptown glitz and crazy
Lights outside

Left and right
Its feeding back
Black and white
Relax until its past your time

If you're sure to less accept
To looking back don't second guess
Two years past the ones who left
Someday you'll laugh and ask yourself

To imitate the art of those
Excess fashion that you chose
Lucky all you need to know
All you need to know

Listen, what you want only comes once year
Stay, take the time to stick with what you think is fare
Cry once, don't resent the ones or way they brought you here
Second try is everybody's dream

Kittyhawk

Kittyhawk
By Tony Wilson

Pulled up to Kittyhawk
We heard they broked the lock
We heard they broked the hold
We heard it broked the mold

And what we never thought
No, what we never thought
Is as we roll around our cars
They're on a flywheel to the stars

This is not how I thought it would end

The more they say we get
They hope we might forget
They hope to keep us down
Safe upon this dying ground

So this is how they feel
They said it wasn't real
They said it wouldn't burn
They said we get our turn

And what we never got
No, what we really got
Was the truth on how it bends

This is not how I thought it would end

This is not the end
This is the end

Mouth

Mouth
By Tony Wilson

Up a bent row of stairs
Through the back door
Onto a plastic chair I lie

Don't understand
I'm afraid
Didn't seem capable
Of feeling those things

The future holds
A better way
Looks like same old world to me

Does that seem strange to you
Does that seem strange

All of the ways
Of getting in touch
So many options
World wide contracts
celluar trusts

Message machine
Me as the screen
Latest day here say
Upon satelite delay

Whatever comes from my mouth
Go easy
Cause I'm learning how to spit it out

Its a bitch to open up
Terrible as it sounds to me
No more silence

Does that seem strange to you
Does that seem strange

I'm open wide
A big surprise
Ode to you
I'll make it

Whatever comes from my mouth
Will be okay
Cause I'm learning how to figure it out

Next Era
By Tony Wilson

Golden bohemian
Prophet for rock and roll
2000 kids are waiting
The old man ain't ready to go

Have you experienced pre gig tension
You can cut it with a knife
Then suddenly someone pulled it
He appeared from out of sight

We gonna spend the next era together

Then someone let a scream out
You cant keep up with us
Do a service and a favor
And put your ass back on that bus

We gonna spend the next era together

They smashed up all the guitars
The amps the mics and the drums
They held hand and made a circle
And wait for the next to come

We gonna spend the next era together

What you want is what you'll get

Moneymaker

Moneymaker
By Jay Kim

She got two mercedes and a baby
She is a shaker of her love maker
Dancing for her little situation
She knows she’s out of control

Hey, now
Aren’t you gonna come on by
Hello
I’m your moneymaker
Say, why
Don’t you come little closer, ‘cause
I’m your moneymaker

She was a ten
Took my ten
Said hello
And shook her lovemaker
To nobody else but me
Sally Toomey
Was her name
She didn’t even
Take my name
‘Cause she knows I’m her moneymaker

Hey, Now
Aren’t you gonna come by
Hey, Now
Do a little dirty dance
Do a little dirty talk
And give me your dirty smile
‘cause I’m your moneymaker

Do a little dirty dance
Do a little dirty talk
And give me your dirty smile
‘cause I’m your moneymaker
Hey I'm your moneymaker

Sugar
By Jay Kim

When you're satisfied
Would you be alone
But its okay
We're not the ones
We'll be alright
As time come and go
The ones will disappear

Sugar and I
Should have said
You and me, we're the ones
Sugar and I are one

When you televised
Did you even know
That we're not there
The ones will never know
This advice
Remember to Forget
The ones will disappear
You're the only one

Sugar and I
Should have said
You and me, we're the ones
Sugar and I are one

back from Seoul

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:05:02 GMT

So I've been busy and not updated this past 8 months. So here is what's happened thus far:
1. Red Sox won the world series.
2. I've started a band called The Pants and we've been practicing. I have a drummer and a bass player and looking for additional guitar player and female keyboardist.
3. I've been doing an acoustic gig with a band member past 5 months. It has been going well. Here is a photo of the acoustic gig:

4. I had a mohawk which was awesome but I had a face to face client meeting with high profile client which meant I had to get rid of it. It was awesome while it lasted. I wish I could have kept it. Here is a photo:

5. I just spent 10 days in Seoul, Korea. I did some traveling and saw my sister and few relatives. I'll spend more time on this later (as I am still jet lagged, I have been waking up at 5am not being able to go back to sleep and bored).
6. I saw 3 of my high school friends in Taipei on the trip back from Seoul. It was like a small high school reunion which was awesome. Taiwan was nice but I like Korea better... maybe because of the language.

That's it for now but I will write a bit on Korea and Taiwan trip bit later...
