Frankie 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Coming home late at night Working all day all busted up inside Just wanna hold her tight Just wanna hear her sigh Frankie’s caught in the rain Somethings keeping Frankie trapped Silence the beat but feeling the rain But baby’s got winkled eyes With the hope of rainy jersey skies Like a freight train running low With a heart of gold and nowhere left to go Always lost in his ways Almost gone today On and on for a year and a half Always been this way Could he ever return How long do candles burn Would she feel the same Once she’s got the word But baby’s got winkled eyes With the hope of rainy jersey skies Like a freight train running low With a heart of gold and nowhere left to go In the kitchen with the bottle again Whatever happened to those racing nights While he rush away the pain She turns out the bedroom lights Oh frankie what you gonna do frankie what you gonna do frankie what you gonna do you gottaa find a way you gotta find a way you gotta find a way But baby’s got winkled eyes With the hope of rainy jersey skies Like a freight train running low With a heart of gold and nowhere left to go nowhere left to go nowhere left to go nowhere left to go

Boys In Cars 02:06
lyrics

I – I know what you mean And those backstreet boys And their hot rod burnin’ machines Take part – part of your life In s second she’ll be begging She’ll be coming like a lightnin’ She’s your wife Take hold Take a second guess and look at the mess Was it really your fault? Boys in the cars and cool looking girls Come together they don’t mind now It’s always a chance they take Romances and some hearts to break It really doesn’t look like they got nothing to lose I – I know what you mean Buy a record take it home Have a listen well you know how it feels It’s blood – well sometimes it not But if the band is so hot You take a deep breathe and wait for the knock Damn right It’s not a matter of age but how you dress And if you match the spotlight Boys in the cars and cool looking girls Come together they don’t mind now It’s always a chance they take Romances and some hearts to break It really doesn’t look like they got nothing to lose

Hanging With The Cool 03:59
lyrics

Lay the phone on your pillow The lawless notions we breathe Lights out on my street The dark takes me in Locked down and eyes only I need the fire in the sky You´re looking good tonight You´re looking good allright Their party lights on and shining Got my party lights raging within Wish I was out there with YOU hanging with the cool I´m getting blown off for nothing Things seems outta control And I ain´t leaving you with anything Though you´re packin´ both heart and soul When it all comes down the line And the scared truth is spoken Somebody’s gonna get hurt Hanging with the cool Their party lights on and shining Got my party lights raging within Wish I was out there with YOU Hanging with the cool There’s nowhere like nowhere Trespassing in the wild wide open Baby that´s where we`ll met Hanging with the cool We got a date again tonight Anywhere at yours Babe cant you see where it ends And that we’ve been here before Tonight could be anything Far from everything that I say It’s all over your eyes It’s all over your face Their party lights on and shining Got my party lights raging within Wish I was out there with YOU Hanging with the cool There’s nowhere like nowhere Trespassing in the wild wide open Baby that´s where we`ll met Hanging with the cool

Senorita, Say A Prayer For Me 04:06
lyrics

Trust me on this one And I won´t ask you for more An open heart of a Saturday night Walking down the rail road tracks to tight To take you where you need to go Out where the darkness glow This ain´t no broadway show It´s fire, desire, it’s rock n roll out on the road Growin´ up around here We´ve seen stand ups go down Beneath them industrial skies Won´t let ´em tear us around I need a Cadillac ride A summers night On a diamondback rattlesnake highway Senorita, say a prayer for me You are dear to me You are all I have left so be there for me She said she´s tired Of this dead end romance In a town full of losers Time to take a second chance somebody jump the fence Took a left off the Garden State Parkway to the interstate woke up in that Camaro now I know we were all stars in this off broadwayshow – oh oh Nothin´ but the easy way out When you ain´t never had no Had no piece of lost mind Then nothin´makes sence but to go Anyway, baby I got this notion Of what you´re looking for Ain´t nothin´ I could ever be You´re out for so much more You need a Cadillac ride A summer night On a diamondback rattlesnake highway Senorita, say a prayer for me You’re dear to me You’re all I have left so you better be right there for me

Fast Lane 02:54
lyrics

You got me going like a set of wheels that try to feel its way on rainny ground And then you start to talk about the future like it was a girl I used to know But I know you I saw you coming through the barriers of the past like a school girl on the way to her first dance but you were more just like the trucks that try to keep behind the fastest cars in line in the fast lane First of all you got me scared just being near you cause that feeling please leave me alone I can’t believe you still wear these and words like these makes me believe you don’t know me But I know you I saw you coming through the barriers of the past like a school girl on the way to her first dance but you were more just like the trucks that try to keep behind the fastest cars in line in the fast lane Ah baby chill watch the Oldsmobile go fast and faster….

Miles To Kill 05:24
lyrics
buy track
On the edge of dawn Shiny shades a killer smile Straight from the bottle Better look away little girl Cause here comes trouble Outskirts of town In his beat up chevy Anywhere but home Midnight lovers Hiding in the shadows A promise made A promise made He holds her tight Deep in the night He holds a wild heart of a runaway This night she don’t know Maybe she never will She got miles and miles to kill This night she don’t know And she never will With miles and miles to kill Steady as a coming train Easy as a child Hungry like a band of dogs Hasn’t eaten for a while With grown-ups telling lies She must go wrong Don’t know why but she must go wrong Even if she’s not that strong Even if she’s right all along No one will ever know Cause she’s bound for tears She will be for years No matter what they say 'Bout how she’s gone astray Well she’s a wild heart and a runaway This night she don’t know Maybe she never will She got miles and miles to kill This night she don’t know And she never will With miles and miles to kill Now what she’s on What’s it called Watch her fall One for all Like a waterfall drops to a wall Smash - Lack of love – she thinks Smash - Lost in love – she blinks Smash – could she find a way At the end of the day She’s still a wild heart and a runaway This night she don’t know Maybe she never will She got miles and miles to kill This night she don’t know And she never will With miles and miles to kill

This Boy Ran His Baby Down 03:02
lyrics

Saturday nights Lights out of sight All fuelled up stereo was loud In the fast lane Pushing limits Baby got caught in the lights Baby´s blood on my bumper Got me grasping for clean air Pulling me awake outta sleep Even a thousand miles away This boy This boy ran his baby down Now caught in the swamps Between bad or worse With dirty sticky mud And cold sweat on my face On this damned dark night This boy This boy ran his baby down I’m praying that some day I’ll be heading up On that highway with a friend But I bet I’ll be going down Scared and with the hell on my back Monday morning With no smile on my face Cause it’s all coming down to me now I was so young then I turned old over night And I’ll never know why Why this boy This boy ran his baby down Did what I did And so be it Payin no mind to their tricks To the look in their eyes their disgust and despise for the thinks that we did Don’t wanna waste no more time, sir On prayers that no longer will do Or hope for or wish for the things that will never come true This boy This boy This boy ran his baby down

The Angel 03:08
lyrics

On the brink of midnight rabid sparkle in her eyes Setting her figure on fire As he just can`t stand himself He just can`t help himself Be damned if he did Giving her his best lines Bying babe a drink Trying to gather it all And get it all together Together is strong Together they´re strong Oh so hard – holding hands Spend his every night Howling at the moon help him see what he can`t see how could this happen to him Loosing many pounds Wasting many rounds The here come those eyes with their lies and their ties And no hope of redemption maybe she is an angel come to set him free And get it all together Together is strong Together they´re strong Hard – holding hands

Kill For A Dream 03:51
lyrics

KILL FOR A DREAM Running down a one way street Running down a dream Searching for that spark Telephone´s a ringing In her empty lonely rooms God knows he ain´t been no angel “So baby if you put your hands on me You better not put your hands on nobody else” The sky torn apart The stars falling down Layin´ next to eachother Still he´d kill for a dream Told the truth even when he lied When the time and place was´nt right Fueled her wild eyed visions of him Put up like barbed wire around her dice, and boots and heart She tried so bad to hurt him But he´d already been through that long time of hurt Though she’s Dancing on broken bottles It takes more than luck to get what you deserve With the sky torn apart The stars falling down Layin´ next to eachother Still he´d kill for a dream Look hard Take a long hard look into these eyes Into these dead end eyes You satisfied? Take a long hard look into these eyes This ain´t his first rodeo But she could have told him A hundred years ago Open wounds don´t make a man Your tatoos don´t make you hard Don´t mistake nobody for some little girl He´s still here cause of the scars of his heart (she was) Just a hair from his heart What was has disappeared Gone with the wind in the night cold and clear And the sky is torn apart The stars all fall down Layin´ next to eachother Still he´d kill for a dream

Sure No More 03:10
lyrics

Though we’re so close You seem to go far away Even when you lie here Baby right next to me Talking to you on the phone Leave me turning every word you said Inside out and back again I always end up getting hurt Now I ain´t so sure no more When you hold my hand Always thinking of another man And when we kiss I wondered who you really miss When you call me up I’m always Sure you got the wrong number When you drive down the street I am road kill stuck to your bumper So come on tell me now – say what you mean Cause if you ain´t so sure no more If you ain´t so sure no more Come on and tell me now Say what you mean Instead of the dark night I see the stars in the sky Straight out of the gutter A walk in the sun When the Big Man above plays a trick on me Giving me more than I can take When dogs howl at the moon And everything is open All night and the dusty daylight hides shady deals Aand if you got the guts to stand your ground Even in the shadows your life becomes your own And that busted up Buick becomes your throne, So if you ain’t sure no more Then you ain’t sure no more But you owe it to me and yourself to get it straight If you ain’t sure no more (repeat)

WRONG EXIT Did my time in the desert Daddy said I´d come back a man Now im Working the graveyard shift In my old hometown Comig homing in the morning I get of at dawn, head home Dead tired speechless I lay sleepless – Praying things would change, I think of when I Met you in the parking lot After a bar room brawl With the taste of blood in my mouth I believed you had it all You looked at me We talked for a little while And then you whiped the blood off my chin We slipped out of the light And then you let me in - your heart that night What´s a man to do When the wrong exit feels right On and off and in between Yeah baby we had it going on For a little while We where everything we needed to get by Gave you what you said you wanted Instead of what we both knew you needed But tonight I blame noone of us For loosing faith in what was not to be Still Here I am with everything I ever feared While you´re nicely tugged in by your man I’m freezing here You in your king sized bed in your upstate mansion With your morning’s all planned out Do you ever feel the thunder in your heart? like when you let me in - your heart that night What´s a man to do When the wrong exit feels right Yet out of sight Got the news that you`re outta town Finished my drink gave a nother round Then I headed for the highway Made sure the lights where out as I rolled up the drive Sat therewatched your home Could almost see you there Feel your arms around me back when where really here When you looked at me talked for a little while then you whiped the blood off my chin We slipped out of the light And then you let me in - your heart Yeah you looked at me We talked for a little while Then you whiped the blood off my chin We slipped out of the light And then you let me in - your heart that night What´s a man to do When the wrong exit feels right Yet out of sight

Queen of the prom He drow her away A promise at midnight A promise to stay Working all week At that old refinery Come friday night Rock n roll and hide Lost and lonesome So hard so tight Come sunday morning Needs her by his side Tomorrows come Tomorrows go Daddy’s tired Baby dim the lights Daddy’s tired Baby dim the lights Tomorrows come Tomorrows go

about

Please note, that this album is work in progress. We hope you will give us some feedback through this process. Any thougts and suggestions are welcome:-)
Also please note: All our recordings on this web side are demo-recordings. Most tracks are homerecordings and/or recorded in rehearsal rooms. Anyways, back on the real subject:

THIS IS the first album in the Frankie Stories trilogy. The album starts out showing the young Frankie. He is pretty happy, hanging out with his firends, and, eventually, falling in love.
He, gets merried, gets a job on the steele mill, gets fired, get's real annoyed with his wife (and vice versa). Then he begins to realize that...his life sucks!

Franke Stories is a trilogy that centers about Frankie - His emotions and relations. Each song will show a piece of the big grey tragic puzzle that is Frankie's life.
As the Trilogy unfolds so does Frankie's life: From a happy youngster to a worn down factory worker. While Frankie's life is a mess, he sometimes manage to catch little glimps of hope.

The texts universe owes a lot to Bruce Springsteens storytelling and could be labeled "americana". The songs will, more or less, be presented in chronological order throughout the trilogy.

The music genre changes a little from album to album. Here is an indication of the styles:
Part 1 - Pop-rock. Mainly in a traditional rock-band set-up.
Part 2 - Folk-rock. A bit more experiementing with regards to band-set-up.
Part 3 - Rock. Up-tempo rock-songs and ballads. Expanded band set-up.
