Sleeping very soundly on a sunny afternoon All I wanna do is hang around with you Call the neighbors up let's meet them out there in the street Put the rhythm in your body and the shuffle in your feet I got some songs, I got some beers Call up everyone and tell them meet us here Park on the street, sleep on the lawn I don't give a damn if it lasts till dawn Turn it on Turn it up We'll all sing along Everybody's coming around to the right side of wrong Every summer needs a soundtrack so let's write this one together Nights are getting warmer it's only getting better Your day job's a drag, you think it's a curse You sit around and wonder if it gets any worse Oh my my, oh hell yes Come on out and try it you know it's the best You got the rhythm, you got the beat Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet Turn it on Turn it up We'll all sing along Everybody's coming around to the right side of wrong

I remember that sound 33 times around It was speaking straight to me Every crackle, every pop Every time the needle dropped Exactly what I need Just an American boy I was raised on rock n' roll Blasting through the speakers of my father's stereo Flipping through stacks Of delectable wax On a Saint Paul summer Places come and go I guess you never know It really is a bummer The places may change But the songs remain the same The crash of guitars is still rattling in my brain Just an American boy With a million places to go Still living on the rhythm of my father's stereo Some times I want to go back To the days so long ago Getting down on the sound of my father's stereo

One And Only 02:53
Hey there Marie will you settle for me If I offer you roses and candy? Lips speak your name through the sweetest refrain Of the songs that make you smile Where are the heroes, the saviours, the saints we swore we could be? Time slips away every hour every day We wonder if we ever will be come on, come on Let's have some fun Gotta live it up because it's almost gone Come on, come on Be my one and only A parking lot poet in my black t-shirts I knew every line The words that you said, tangled up in my head disappear over time We should be lying awake in your bed Counting dreams as they pass by Gathering all of our strength for the moment We finally make it out alive Come on, come on Let's have some fun Gotta live it up because it's almost gone Come on, come on Be my one and only Don't talk about the future I know it never works out right Don't talk about the past now baby This is our life, this is our time Hey there Marie will you ask me to leave When the words and the place have no meaning? The creak of the floor and the slam of the door As I hear you say goodbye I want to remember the way that we were Before we disappear Come on and dance while we still got a chance I'm begging you my dear Come on, come on let's have some fun Gotta live it up because it's almost gone Come on, come on Be my one and only Come on, come on Come on, come on Come on, come on Be my one and only

Set You Free 03:21
Brothers and sisters gathered here today I got something on my mind I wanted to say I'm here tonight with a new solution I ain't talking bout no revolution We gotta rise up out of this hole Give you my heart Sell you my soul We want the radio, we want the airwaves We want the promises all of the songs made Coming in loud at the top of the dial Coming on strong every mile after mile Come on and rise up out of this hole Give you my heart Sell you my soul For one chance, we gotta take it On a live wire not gonna fake it It's a good ride, we gotta make it Hold on baby, I'm about to set you free We are the light that cannot be extinguished Time to repair, to rebuild, to redeem We are the voice rising up in the distance Start with a whisper, turn to a scream Come on and rise up out of this hole Give you my heart Sell you my soul For one chance, we gotta take it On a live wire not gonna fake it It's a good ride, we gotta make it Hold on baby, I'm about to set you free

Where have all my blue skies gone? I traded them for grey She strolled by, caught my eye and left me for a sunny day It was a cheap trick when I said I was gonna be a big star She found my replacement We didn't make it very far Sitting in this lonely bar Not sure what I'm gonna do yet You slide up beside me Snatch my cigarette Talking about the good old days Let's drink to there and then I ain't the boy you thought I'd be Let's not go back again All I really want to say Is have yourself a lovely day Thank you for you time It's good to talk to an old friend You go your way, I'll go mine Let's meet somewhere again Another time, another place Another stupid smiling face Reminding me of yesterdays That never seem to fade All I really want to say Is have yourself a lovely day These days go by so fast Try to make it last Stop hanging on to moments as they pass These days go by so fast

Met a little girl and we stopped to talk Took her for a drink and the I took her for a walk She's the type of girl who likes to run and play I'm the type of guy who likes to drink all day She won't be knocking at my door She's not my baby anymore (nope) Tried to make a move, tried to make her mine Tried to make her love me til the end of time She could see right through me like the other ones before Tore my heart apart and left it on the floor She won't be knocking at my door She's not my baby anymore I just want to know Gotta find out if there's a chance to take She's just gotta make one little mistake I just want to know Gotta find out if there's a chance to take She's just gotta make one little mistake The moral of the story? Well it's plain to see You're never gonna see her with the likes of me Have another drink and try to dry my eyes Find myself another one to change my mind She won't be knocking at my door She's not my baby anymore I just want to know Gotta find out if there's a chance to take She's just gotta make one little mistake I just want to know Gotta find out if there's a chance to take She's just gotta make one little mistake

Fairview girls got all that style Stealing my soul by the quarter mile Tonight we ride down this asphalt fast Hoping I can make this nightmare last Devil's all know what to do Riding on the darkness coming through Fire in my veins on top of the ridge Isaac, co-pilot underneath the bridge Sonny's secret, Bruce's cost Money's down and the dice are tossed Devil's all know what to do Riding on the darkness coming through Devil's all know what to do Riding on the darkness coming through My darling girl it's too late for you Riding on the darkness coming through

It's easy to say goodbye when you never said good morning You're free to slam the door when you leave without a warning I never thanked you properly for all the laughs we shared I said I want you, you said always In the darkness, unaware This is my revelation song An answer to the question "What could possibly go wrong?" This is my revelation song An answer to the question "What could go wrong?" Isn't it great? I told you you could have it all I'll fix you a plate for you to throw against the wall Here we sit, a cup of tea, a glass of water Just like Jimmy said Maybe next time we'll be smarter This is my revelation song An answer to the question "What could possibly go wrong?" This is my revelation song An answer to the question I figured it out The last horse across the line I figured it out Just a tone on the telephone line This is my revelation song An answer to the question "What could possibly go wrong?" This is my revelation song An answer to the question "What could go wrong?"

Seems like we're doing better these days now the chips are cashed in Struggle though the stretch, put your limits to the test Always playing to win Try as I might I could never get it right Never make my amends Call it bad luck, take the blame or pack it up It all comes back again I know it's hard to keep it together Some things are better left unsaid Don't be alarmed at the changing of the guards my friend Sometimes it's best to call your own bluff as the years go by The clubs across the river they ain't never gotten bigger Not for you or I Try as I may I could never get away, never leave it undone Can't leave it all behind to turn around and find That we had only just begun I know it's hard to keep it together Some things are better left unsaid Don't be alarmed at the changing of the guards my friend The bridges that we burn, all the lessons that we learn Take their toll in the end Swim against the tide, step into the light And find you're on your feet again I know it's hard to keep it together Some things are better left unsaid Don't be alarmed at the changing of the guards my friend

Shine 03:55
Your grandma loved the Chi-lites, she danced on soul train Held you tight neath the kitchen light, said, "you're gonna be a star one day" You learned to sing in Saint Norma's choir With a heart full of hope and prayers Late nights with the boys in the band in the basement down the stairs where you would Shine a light over everybody Shine a light for all the world to see It gets tough paying your dues You get tired of singing the blues You shine a light for all the world to see Shine your light for me It gets hard working doubles each day just to try to make ends meet It feels alright on Saturday night with the crowd swept off their feet The booze, and the lights, and the dope, and the fights make it hard for you to want to stay So much for dreams of fortune and fame, keep playing the game til you find a way to Shine a light over everybody Shine a light for all the world to see It gets tough paying your dues You get tired of singing the blues You shine a light for all the world to see Shine your light for me It takes a lifetime to forget and to erase Nothing good has ever come from the chances you don't take Shine a light over everybody Shine a light for all the world to see It gets tough paying your dues You get tired of singing the blues You shine a light for all the world to see Shine your light for me

Enemies! 01:22
All my enemies are coming over tonight All my enemies are coming over tonight I think my days are numbered Counting down again All my enemies are turning into my friends All my enemies are hanging around my backdoor All my enemies are hanging around my backdoor I wish I could do something To make them go away All my enemies are coming over to stay I think somebody better call an ambulance ALL MY ENEMIES!!!

I see the symptoms of my condition Step out the way I'm a man on a mission Ice in my veins, a head full of nothing Step on up, I'll show you something Boots on the boards, a tank full of gas Living for the moment that ain't gonna last Close up the ranks and cover the miles Feels so good to be reckless and wild Turn it up don't let me down Get my feet on solid ground Turn the page, rattle cage Tear the whole thing down Move along to some new town A creation of desperation Dig in deep to find some inspiration No doubt about it, stand up and shout it Come on down if you want to know about it Bring on the drums, bring on the lights Bring on the never ending Saturday nights Bring on the names on the top of the list My mama never told me there's be days like this Turn it up don't let me down Get my feet on solid ground Turn the page, rattle cage Tear the whole thing down Move along to some new town

The Grande Machine Minneapolis, Minnesota

"Glam without the eyeliner"--Classic Rock Magazine

In 2008 a band came together consisting of four veterans of the Minnesota Rock scene to began playing bombastic, huge rock and roll. Though times change and members have come and gone, the Machine rolls on strong!!

Think MC5 and The New York Dolls drinking with Kiss and Bruce Springsteen and arguing about the Dead Boys, the Ramones, and Slade.
