The One
© 2011 Radiation Ranch
I’m not the one who told you – I’m not the one
I guess I thought you knew – I’ll bet you wish it didn’t take so long
I’m not the one
I'm not the one who's leavin' - can't make me run
I’m not the one who made you do the things you’ve done
I’m not the one
I ain’t the kind to take it – I’m the other kind
I’m not the type of man to let you take what’s mine without a fight
I’m not the one whose broken – I feel alright
I'm not the one who's goin' home alone tonight
I’ve been waiting to say, “It’s over & done!”
Who’s to blame? Baby, I ain’t the one
Played this game for way too long
Who’s gonna save you? I ain’t the one
Somebody out there loves you – Somebody must
Someone, somewhere, somehow, sometimes
Some folks – they don’t expect too much
Ain't gonna say "I'm Sorry" - Ain't gonna lie
I wouldn't waste my time – It ain't no big surprise
I’ve been waiting to say, “It’s over & done!”
Who’s to blame? Baby, I ain’t the one
Played this game for way too damn long
Who’s gonna save you? I ain’t the one

Pictures Of You
© 2011 Radiation Ranch
Pictures of you make me smile
Cuz I know – Yea, I know that you’re gone
These pictures of you tell me I’m right
Cuz I know – Yea, I know you were wrong
I been trying so long now to forget
It’s been a long time since I had to have you back
I waited on time to make up my mind and clean up this mess
Dreaming of you still makes me smile
Cuz I know in the morning you’ll be gone
I been trying so hard to live & let live
But since when does compromise mean give in?
My life is mine – It’s about time – It starts makin’ sense
Pictures of you in head & in hand
They remind me why I can’t do this again
It’s been a long time comin’, I’ll admit
Maybe I don’t know what love is but I know this ain’t it
Say what you like. It won’t matter in time. Just give it a rest.
These pictures of you fade in the light
And you’re gone…you’re gone…gone

D.B.A.

Out in the desert, nobody sleeps alone.
Here in the city, nobody sleeps at all.
Lifeless, laid out on the floor.
Tell me what went wrong.
We only do what must be done.
It ain't our fault so don't blame us.
It's not what we wanted.
The begging. The bourbon. Try to stay warm.
The fire. The burning out of control.
The waiting is over. Our work is done.
The night's subsiding.
The sun is rising.
The light is calling me back home.
We only do what must be done.
It ain't our fault so don't blame us.
It's not what we wanted.
The begging. The bourbon. Try to stay warm.
The fire. The burning out of control.
The waiting is over. The thrill is gone.
The smoke is rising.
The headlines drying.
Nobody’s crying.
The light is calling me back home.

Mayday
© 2011 Radiation Ranch
Remember what you said to me
Not long ago - Not far away from here
This ain't nothin' new to me
But I wonder how we get from now
To where we wanted to go
Would we be better alone?
I wonder why we scream & fight
We've got nothin' to show
We might be better alone
Better alone.
Take a step outside today
Stand in the sun - Wait for the storm to come
It looks like I was right again
I wish I was wrong - Cuz it won't be fun
I think you already know
We'd be better alone
I will stand my ground
I will not back down anymore
Cuz I'd be better alone
Out on my own
This ain't the first time
Ain't no surprise – Ain’t no surprise
I know you think that I'm the one to blame
For all you gave away
But that's just the price I pay for not walkin' away
I wonder how we get from now
To where we wanted to go
Would we be better alone?
I will stand my ground
I will not back down anymore
Cuz I'd be better alone
Better alone.

Black Friday
© 2011 Jonathan Powell
No place left to call my own
Stuck inside this place that I call home
Don't tell me you feel the same
These thoughts inside my head are all that keep me sane
I'll keep putting in to songs
What I can't take away with drugs & alcohol
I'll keep pushing me along
If I don't bleed to death from biting my tongue
I'm getting tired of waiting for things to all work out
Think my breaking point is now
It's getting harder every day
Lost all my patience - What's left is on it's way
My crutch is broke & I won't mend
Too much reality for me to pretend
So justify your point of view
You can lie & say you're sorry 'till you're blue
I ain't got much left to lose
But I can't let myself surrender to you
I'm so tired of waiting for things to all work out
Guess my breaking point is now
I got tired of waiting for things to all work out
So my breaking point is now

Waste Of Time
© 2011 Radiation Ranch
Don’t tell me what you want
I know what you need
Don’t tell me what you’re thinking
It don’t mean a thing to me
It ain’t worth the time
Where’d you think I’d be tonight?
Anywhere but here
Did you think I’d fall in line?
Not this time – I made it clear
This ain’t worth a fight
It’s just a waste of time
I tried to state my case
Make you understand my place in line
You rubbed it in my face
Tell me I’m the trouble making kind
It’s alright – I don’t need to win tonight
Go ahead and try…It’s just a waste of time
Don’t want to see your face
Don’t want to see this place again
Don’t need a helping hand
Don’t need you to tell me who I am
There’s no way to make this right
So you think I need this life?
Then you don’t know me
I don’t know what makes you think you’re right
Every damn time
I guess it’s time I leave
It don’t make no sense to try
It’s a waste of time
No way to win this game
It’s time to walk away tonight
There’s nothing left to say
It’s over & done – Good Luck – Goodbye
I’ll take what’s mine - Leave all the rest behind
Cuz it’s a waste of time

Radiation Ranch
Self indulgent rants & verses presented as glorified demos. Aside from a rare handful of acoustic duo performances, this was never much more than an experiment in songwriting. The round of recordings available here were often based on "scratch" guitar tracks with no click to reference so timing is merely a suggestion in places. Still, a great bunch of songs that will always be fun to hear. ... more
