List of Songs along with a brief background about the inspiration behind this unavailable album by Tom Simpson

1. Kick Me While I'm Down

This is a song I wrote shortly after ending a long relationship. We had been seeing each other for 4 years and only weeks after the split up she dropped by with her new boy friend demanding that I return her contribution to my beer bottle collection.

2. Rock Mural

When I was growing up I had a "two wall" mural of all my favourite rock musicians. My dad insisted that I secure the pictures to the wall with that cheap sticky putty stuff. Instead I used tape. When I tore down the mural we had to replace the dry wall. Man was my dad pissed.

3. Someone's in Love

Did you ever meet a chick who's really nice but just not exactly what you're looking for. But she makes everything so simple...and she tells you she loves you...and you can't tell her the same then you realize...... your a bastard!

4. I Can Live With It

This is the conclusion of Someone's in Love, it's really about coming to grips with guilt.

5. Dream Whip

After seeing Jesus Christ Superstar, I had a dream in which I was being whipped relentlessly. It sucked!

6. Every Day

It's too bad but you have to go to work every day and some people even go in on the week-end!

7. Sound Embargo

I once stayed in a small hotel in Mexico in which they asked me to stop singing in the shower. I rebelled by hiring a Mariachi Band to play in my shower. I had to stick to a trio.

8. I've Got to Go

Always when you find the best hiding place......

9. The Insecurity Song

How often have you walked into a crowded room and realized your fly is down and your willy is hanging out? Well O.K. have you ever felt this way?

10.Pilot to Co-Pilot

When I was young I always wanted to fly a fighter plane. I'd use the cup from my Dad's athletic support for the oxygen mask. I did catch on after I joined a hockey team.

11. The Security Song

I was at a conference once in Washington where I watched a Woman do a 2 hr presentation on a specific element of the Data Communications industry. She knew her stuff and she was confident, she also had a 2 foot length of toilet paper hanging from under her skirt.

12. The Fall

What's worse, dreaming that you're falling or dreaming that you're falling with no clothes on? It shouldn't matter......but when I'm falling, dream or no dream, give me my pants!

13. A Pleasant Surprise

My grandmother always had orange Kool-Aid in the fridge. Then one time we went over she had cherry.
