Minor Blues
( T. Paronis / Ph Allaert

Remember that night in Memphis
Seems like it was yesterday
The moon on the water , your skin in the night , shadows out at play
Thirty years later all I got is this song
A whole lot of memories of what went wrong
I wake up at night and call your name
Those voices in my head are driving me insane
Someone said they saw you down on the coast
Might have been you , might have been your ghost
This ain’t the way , it was supposed to be
It was the dawn of a new day for you and me
Out in the alley at the edge of town
Shots rang out , everything turned around
SOLO
Sometimes at night ,when the shadows appear
I still feel your touch , it seems so near
Out in the alley at the edge of town
Shots rang out and everything turned around
SOLO AD LIB

As Good As it Gets
( T. Paronis , Ph Allaert

Come on baby, let’s do another round
It’s getting kind of late, the sun’s going down
You say you’ve got some worries, that makes two
But right now mama it’s just me and you
You’ve got booze in the ice box, music in the place
Heartache in your voice, some lines on your face
Me I had a future twenty years ago
Where it went I don’t really know
But we won’t pretend it’s something it ain’t
Won’t try to put on a fresh coat of paint
Cause we both know despite the regrets
This might just be as good as it gets
There’s a view across the alley, in a world built for two
It might be kind of funky , but we are too
Don’t worry about the future, don’t think about the past
Just hang on to the moment and try to make it last
CHORUS - SOLO
So long baby, I’ll see you down the line
Don’t worry about a thing , it’ll work out fine
Take it easy, take it slow
Maybe one more round before I go
CHORUS - SOLO AD LIB

Neon Blue
( T. Paronis / Ph Allaert
Tepco Publishing / Groove Maniac Publishing )
She climbs out of a taxi in the middle of the square
She's got that look in her eye and the wind in her hair
She's looking at me with an icy stare
Neon Blue, tell me that you care
She goes into the club all alone
All the high rollers want to take her home
I'm a poor boy made of flesh and bone
Neon Blue , your heart's made of stone
You can see her down in South Beach, you can see her in Paris
You can see her in the South of France, strolling by the sea
Where there's a lot of money, that's where she likes to be
Neon Blue, you gotta set my heart free
( repeat )
A long time ago in a village in the hills
Lived a little girl, dreaming of big thrills
Now I'm walking the streets all alone
Neon Blue, please come back home
She goes into the club all alone
All the high rollers want to take her home
I'm a poor boy made of flesh and bone
Neon Blue , your heart's made of stone

Whoa Baby
( T. Paronis / Ph Allaert

Whoa baby, where you been so long
Whoa baby, where you been so long
These walls ain’t been singing
Since you left our home
Whoa baby, come back to me
Whoa baby, shine that light on me
This boy’s been crying
Since you set me free
SOLO
Whoa baby, can’t you see what you’ve done
Whoa baby, can’t you see what you’ve done
You tore my heart out
Just to have a little fun
These walls ain’t been singing
Since you set me free
This boy’s been crying
Come back to me

Big Shot
( T. Paronis / Ph Allaert / J. Kuoko
Tepco Publishing / Groove Maniac Publishing / )
I’m a big shot baby, show me where it’s at
I’m a big shot baby, show me where it’s at
You’re sitting there smiling like a Cheshire cat
But you don’t wanna show me where you’re sweet thing’s at
Gonna’ build us a bridge to the other side
Where everything is cool and everything is fly
CHORUS
Got a tanker full of oil off the African coast
Gonna get it down in China in a month at the most
Got some condos down in Panama, they’re lookin’ real slick
My man on the inside says they’re gonna move quick
Gonna’ build us a bridge to the other side
Where everything is cool and everything is fly
SOLO
Got some solar panels headed for a mayor in Peru
Gonna make me nice and green between me and you
Gonna’ build us a bridge to the other side
Where everything is cool and everything is fly

SOLO AD Libs

Never Wanna Hear Another Loud Bad Band Again
( T. Paronis / Ph Allaert
Tepco Publishing / Groove Maniac Publishing / )
I never wanna hear another loud bad band again
That singer’s voice is like an ice pick in my head
You gotta let it breathe if you want to feel the groove
You gotta bring it down to make a body move
I never wanna hear another loud bad band again
All those gadgets , all those toys
They’re not gonna help you find that joyful noise
I’d rather be sleeping in my bed
Than hear ten thousand bumble bees buzzin’ round my head
I never wanna hear another loud bad band again
Guitar Solo - Piano Solo
It’s an old cliché but I think it’s true
You gotta do some living if you wanna go and play the blues
There ain’t no fortune, there ain’t no fame
But with a little bit of luck you’ll be a link in the chain
I never wanna hear another loud bad band again
I never wanna hear another loud bad band again
I never wanna hear another loud bad band again

The Homesick Song
( T. Paronis / Ph Allaert
Tepco Publishing / Groove Maniac Publishing )
How many times did I say I’ve gotta leave
This sleepy old town just drives me insane
How many times did I dream of the day
I’d roll out of town and never come back again
How many years has it been since those days
That big rolling river washed them all away
I’d give it all to stop time from going by
And trade these blues for an uncloudy sky
I see the smoke winding through the trees
Feel the chill of an early Autumn breeze
I see two figures old and grey
Wondering what became of that child who went away
SOLO
Outside my window the rain’s pouring down
I see the neon of another dead end town
But there’s a place where the sun always shines
Where dreams come true and love never dies
Where dreams come true and love never dies...

Big Footed Woman
( Tom Paronis , Ph Allaert
TEPCO publishing / Groove Maniac Publishing )
Got a big footed woman’ likes to walk all over me
Got a big footed woman, Likes to walk all over me
She’s mean and she’s evil, she lays that big foot thing on me
She’s a long, tall mama,
Kind of shimmies when she walks
She’s a long, tall mama, kind of shimmies when she walks
She lays that big foot on me, every time I start to squawk
Hear her foot steps in the hallway, I feel her hot breath in my ear,
Hear her foot steps in the doorway, I feel her hot breath in my ear
I get that low down feeling
I know that big foot time is near
SOLO

69 Street Band New York, New York
Originally founded as a way to get Tom Paronis out of the house in 2007, the 69th Street Band has evolved into an "only in New York" outfit that offers up a unique mix of old school Chicago Blues and R&B, some jazz (particularly of the Acid Jazz variety popularized by Hammond/Sax combos of the 1960s), country, rockabilly and bluegrass and an overlay of percolating African rhythms ... more
