Red Sox Blues

Mike Hallal Band (2002)
Jim Antonellis: drums
Dixon Creasey Jr.: bass, bk. vocal
Mike Hallal: guitar, lead vocal
Mitch Hallal: harmonica, bk. vocal
Kook Lawry: lead guitar
Brian Maes: piano, perc., bk. vocal
I want someone to talk to
When the Red Sox lose
Instead of you workin' all nite
And me alone with my blues

Give me someone to talk to
To keep our hope alive
Someone who lets me run at the mouth
Till I'm satisfied

I want someone to talk to
Give me someone to walk thru
Every turn, every up at bat
On this long, lonely road we're travelin' on

Travelin' on... travelin' on... travelin' on

Hey, you'll want someone to talk to
When we finally win it all
And all the years of bad luck
We wash 'em clean one fine fall

So come on baby let's walk thru
A monster turnaround
When chumps change to champions
With a walkoff homerun

Rock of Ages (Fall)

Jim Antonellis: drums
David Csicsek: bass
Mike Hallal: guitar, vocal
Mitch Hallal: harmonica, bk. vocal
David Zeitlin: lead guitar
Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
Fall on me
Fall on me
Fall on me

Hide me from the face of him
who renders justice for our evil deeds

Hear the trumpet
Hear the trumpet
Plagues rain down
Plagues rain down
All around

Woe to all upon the earth
Your troubles now are teardrops to the ground

See the children
See the children
Of the world
Rainbow boy
Rainbow girl

You won't hunger, thirst, or fear your lives
When Fairness washes all tears from your eyes

You say jump — and I jump

Everyday
I die
A little deathYou say run — and I run

You say come baby — I come, come, come
Everyday
I die
A little death

Don't you love me baby
Let it show
Don't go actin' nonchalant
It chills me to the bone

Everyday
I'm givin' what I got
Everyday
I'm livin' for your love

Everyday
A little death
Everyday
We're alive
A little death

Wail Yourself Free

Sojourn (1994)
David Csicsek: bass
Tony D’Anna: drums, bk. vocal
Mike Hallal: guitar, lead vocal
Mitch Hallal: harmonica, bk. vocal
Rich Plotner: lead guitar
Callin' to Jesus
Hung on her wall
Momma keeps cryin'
"Where has my baby gone?"

Alone in his own bedroom
Daddy's asleep
Now I hear him yellin'
"Wake me! Wake me! Please!"

You can wail
Yourself free
Squeaky wheel
Gets the grease
In this vale
Of misery
You can wail
Yourself free

Rock-a-bye baby
On the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock

When the bow breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all

Life goes by like lightnin'
Flash! — Flash! — Boom! — and you're gone
Well, don't fade away
No, No, don't fade away

Don’t Jive Me

Mike Hallal (1993): guitar, vocal
My brother saw you
In Bobby's car
Tell me what's goin' on

He said he saw you makin' it with him

Stop your cryin'
Tell me the truth
You know I can't believe the things you do

Let's get it straight right now


Sing when you talk
Run when you walk
Don't jive me
Don't jive me

Say what you mean
Be what you seem
Don't jive me
Don't jive me


You're my wife

We've got two kids

You know I can't take any more of this

How many chances
How many men
How many times can we start over again

You gotta change from here on

Don't be lyin' to me

And don't be makin' promises you won't keep
Too many lies —
That's what really kills me

Melody

Hallal & Vargas (1992)
Mike Hallal: guitar, vocal
David Vargas: keys
Down in the valley
The valley so low
Hang your head over
Everyone goes

Everyone cries out
For love in their way
And in every life
Sunshine and rain

Down from the heavens
Up from the ground
All thru your body
Echoes a sound

Rising and falling
With pleasure and pain
The song has just ended [Both ears could fail you]
And you start it again [And you'd hear it just the same]

Crystal clear melody [Life-giving melody]
All in your head —
Never wish you were dead

And when nine voices war inside your brain
One line of music keeps you sane
