Igor- Korg Poly -61, vocals, Rick Willis- lead and rhythm guitar, Gerry Montano- bass Mark Garnot-rhythm guitar, Gary Barton-drums
Oh, the fever's growin' strong, I'm not about to look away
It's time we all love for all it's worth, Before our moment speeds away
I remember, dancin' with you on Halloween
And if fate knows all there is to say, by what was shown unseen
Chorus
Well if it's love you want, all that's said must be true
And if it's games you need, then we'll act on them too
Well from your scared point of view, it seems I play the fool
But from love's eye and soul, all in life can be new
No chains, is what you say to me, as the stuff clouds up your mind
I've seen that phase before, lost the need for all that pleases
Intent on giving, just a little bit of your smile
It's just you had to realize, your heart had too much style
Chorus
Of Me (#1)
written 1969/ recorded 1972 on Tony Frisina's Teac 2340
Igor-lead and background vocals, piano, Electrocomp synthesizer
Vince Frisina- background vocals, guitar
When you see me, run and hide away, for the love you want's not here
When you see me, go outside and play, for the love you want is there
When you see me come, when you see me come
When you see me, just ask me the way, and I'll show you why I stay
In my mind where no one there can harm me
Now you'll know to stay from me
When you see me come, when you see me come
(How I need you..how I want you.. how I love you so)
Don't you know that I, will prosper so much more
In death, so much more than I ever did in breath
Please remember, what I tried to say, even though you can't hear
Please forget just what I tried to do, I just had to be near
When you see me come, when you see me come
Questions unfinished (no vocals)

Lonely Lisa, is the sky really below you?
Really truly, what does life hold for you?
Lonely Lisa, Where have all your good friends gone to?
Don't you know, they're all trying to just like you
Chorus
I love the way you walk, I love the things you do
I love the way you talk, but....not you
On that day, when you sat on the bench
I knew you were looking for some tiny clue
But you knew, even then, what the score was
When you asked me to tell it to you
Lonely Lisa, why don't people talk about you
Don't you worry, 'cause I know that you will
Lonely Lisa, Oh, I hope that you continue
'Cause if you do, you're gonna come down with the flu
Chorus
My Love Will Stay With You
written 1969/ recorded 1972 on the Teac 2340 at Tony
Frisina's house. Igor- piano, bass, vocals, Vince Frisina-

Oh my lover, well our love can last forever
Even though you can't give yours to me
And I know that you say, my love will be changing
But I tell you now and it's true
That I know, my love will stay with you
Oh my lover, hold my hand and know I want you
On the days that you need me and more
And I'll wait for you till you say you want me
On the day that you say we are two
And I know, my love will stay with you
Bridge
Through our lifetimes, the love we shared
Can be new, and as fresh as before
Through the dark days, of moments we're uncertain
Yes, I'll tell you, I'll never close the door
Oh my lover, please remember that I'm here
When you go to decide our fate
Please don't let me wait around for too many years
'Cause you know that I'll always be blue
And I know, my love will stay with you
bridge
Make Believe
written 1981/ recorded 1988 on 3 Thursday afternoons in
October 1988 on Vince's IBM PC mixed down to a Teac 3340
at Vince's house. Igor- music, all keyboards, drum machine
tweak. Vince- guitar solo, drum machine programming,
Debbie Major- lyrics, vocals
Young, maybe not, what's old? Time captures you I'm told.
Just when you think you've reached all you can
Look in your heart and see, a child wide eyed
Wanting to start again, remember when you were ten?
Chorus
Looking now, in my mind, knowing what's left behind
If I choose, I can make believe
Reaching new states of mind, don't know what I might find
If I choose, I can make believe
What am I waiting for? Life leaves you open doors
It's time to move on, on and on and on
Looking behind to learn and feel my way
Scared at first and wondering should I stay
chorus
This Time
written 1982/ recorded 1985, keyboards recorded on Mark
Garnot's Tascam 744 4-track. 1991, vocals and mix down
done at old Polymorph studio on a Tascam 80-8 8-track
Igor- keyboards, vocals
In all the time, I've spent with you
Sharing fear as much as all the angry words
But I learned something this time
Of life with a different style
And you have learned, to see your soul
Giving all to be your own, yet be so true
But this time it really seems,
That love has found a way for you
If it's meant to last forever,
Then I've had no better times than you
But when it's time to say forever
Do we believe, or are we merely fools
For when I sang alone with you
I had wished those times would never end
'Cause the two really were one
As anyone will ever be
And there are those who know how it should be
To love and be loved, with all that one can feel
And of course you know, that the babies are home too
Please Stay Away
see notes for "I Left It All Behind"
Time looks very pretty, time is on your side
Paradise seems dirty,everytime you try to hide
Looks are fine you know, as wind surrounds your hair
Seen you near the ocean, knew you didn't care
Chorus
Please stay away, time is on your side
Feels like I've been cornered, now it's time for goodbyes
No more seagulls, no more burning sand
Wings of fear and terror, when I leave your hand
Yes, it's a burden, to live your life alone
Then when you surrender, I don't even have a phone
chorus
Someday

Wurlitzer electric piano, vocals, bass. Vince Frisina-
drums, guitar, vocals
I say, woman there's no way, a cradle ever held a boy
When he was a man
Someday, we'll be far away
That's the place where I'll love you
Finding things to say
And all through our lives, let's not pretend
That we are nearing the end
I want, you inside my day
That's the place where I'll love you
Whiling thru the day
Of Me (#2) oh no,!!!not another one!
written 1969/ recorded 1986 on mark garnot's Tascam

Rob Schroeder's apartment. Igor- Wurlitzer electric piano,
RMI keyboard computer, vocals, Vince Frisina- bass, Rob Schroeder-

I see and hear old two face. Where did she go..go..go..go?
Looks one way, but is the other
Wants to love, but to no ones brother
Wants to be alone when she is the other
Cries a want, but always comes after
Hangs her dreams up on a rafter
Wants to be with people who will not daft her..her..her..her
ooo you, we love you so
ooo you, we hate to see you go..go..go..go
The two faced girl, she has a mother
Digging on a beach after she hovers
Looks out and sees the dirt...oh she's gone..go..go..gone.
I saw and heard old two face. Where did she go..go..go..go?
Lovelight
written 1977/ recorded 1977 on Vince's 3340S in my living
room Igor- everything
Through my life, the need outweighs the anger
And tragic things are foreign to me
The crowded deserts, oh are everywhere to see
But you bring light upon my sand
And the glow on your face, is only darkened
By the light that I see in your heart
For you can bring a quiver to an old and worn out smile
To open eyes for me to see
Chorus
Lovelight, needs no rehearsin'
You act upon the force that's in your will
And the little love in all of us, cannot even fill
What time has left upon your head to give
And the songs in my heart, are always meant for you
No matter if you're sight or thought from me
But still it doesn't say in the book of games and rules
That my world needs you to love and live each day
chorus
I Left It All Behind
written 1987/ recorded 1987 on Mark Garnot's 244 at the
Blackout rehearsal studio. Igor-Casio piece of shit, Arp
2600 bass and white noise solo, lead vocals Mark Garnot-
Casio drums, background vocals Kyle Davidson- guitar, lyrics
I know you've heard of love before, now this time it's for real
And thoughts and words from long ago, they're useless how you feel
And dreams of past and reticent, turn circles from deep within
It seems I've been this course before, I'm doing it tracing again
Chorus
I don't need more reasons to live, for now life's not defined
Fun and haze from distant shores, I left it all behind
I'll find a reason now, to bring a rose for sure
Returning prayers of 54, the channel's lost not pure
I've turned to walk a single path and found it silent here
Silence brings the light within, and sin does not mean fear
chorus
As Far As I Can See
written 1986/ recorded 1986 on Mark garnot's 244 at the
Blackout rehearsal studio. Igor-everything
How many times has his named crossed your lips
Give or take a hundred or two
Sharing your fate until morning
And where does it all end
Having him in a dream or two
And nasty words splitting both sides
If hate is a way to make love
Then why spend your life so blind
Chorus
'Cause you know that, I said so many times
What was true, through out all the fears(years)(tears)
That life is a flower grown from our love
And that's as far as I can see
Live's chasing dreams can be lonely
And what you can have is always here
I don't know this,. I won't know that
I'll want you in this life or the next
chorus

Lovely one, the frown on your face is your style
But you light the night with your smile and your way
Sparkling eyes, show all the care of the world
Laughing at those who have hurt you
Bridge
Living and learning are part of the game
Being with those that we choose
I can learn to see through it all with your smile
Lovely one, the truth only lies in your eyes
And truth always shines from the sky, everyday
bridge
Love spent days, are something that we'll never see
But oh what you mean to me
Clouds roll by, but you bring the sinshine to me
You make life so easy
