did i ever tell you , the sorry tale of my life did i ever mention i once had a wife this sorry state i'm in was not how i was born so may i tell you now how i became forlorn instead of being truthful i would weave a tale and in the end my better angels had to fail one little lie yeah one little lie yeah in me good lacks conviction while bad makes out ok that evil wine that took my innocence away was deep around the night my honesty would fail instead of being truthful i would tell a tale and really in the scheme of things i'm not as bad as i would seem and you ain't no angel - i don't see no wings on you so before you cast another stone try leaving leave well enough alone take a look at your self and criticize me then i didn't really do nothing to you and i wont do it again

Calamity Jane Eyre (free) 06:21
t wasn't long before i first became aware- that there was something on with me and you and looking back i'm sure i had no idea- of all the things you were going through porcelain doll like on the outside but she's flawed by her design if you break me then you buy me as you warned me every time but always softly- and like a song a veil of silence drops down around we two- as we sneak around the lowly part of town and once again i see how i'm not getting through and theres nothing i can do to turn it round so when the thunder clouds around us find their mark on you once more i just gather up the pieces as you remember what i'm for ah la la lie - i hear you sigh like calamity jane eyre

A Kiss From Darla (free) 03:58
to get a kiss from Darla, there's nothing that I wouldn't do I'd try every trick in the book, come up some new ones too to get a kiss from Darla, theres nothing that I wouldn't say just about anything , at least I'd try it anyway i once had a kiss from Darla, it made me light in the head all i could see was Darla, everything else was red i lost control of myself, i hope you can cut me some slack and thats what i'm gonna tell ya, as i pull that knife from your back kisses or claws from Darla, it feels like a heart attack all that you see is Darla, everything else looks black you won't remember your friends , and they wont recognize you like a fly in amber you're frozen, there's nothing that you can do you're like a scoundrel for hire, sneaking around in the night doing things you know that you shouldn't, trying to keep out of sight and you don't trust anybody, not after what you have done but getting a kiss from Darla, somehow made it all fun

"A Kiss From Darla" is a startling and vivid vision of the intensity of what it's like to be in a relationship that maybe we shouldn't be in, but are having a hard time getting away from. Stylistically sounding like a classic rock album from the early to mid 1970's ala Rolling Stones or T-Rex, but with a kind of continuity of style and writing, just not common from that time. Philip Peters' 3rd solo album in recent years, once again shows him to be an extremely gifted song writer and musician, of rare caliber. But be warned, "A Kiss From Darla" is an intense ride to the dark side of love and loneliness. So be brave when you listen to this.

-Brad Gates, musician/vocalist
