    "SUPER rocker ... engaging and melodic ...Heck, there's no buts, it's great! Harmonies work just right. Excellent melody, and the lyrics are interesting, which is big. Bet this is going over great in the clubs." -- waynert, San Francisco, California

    Lyrics
    "Nothing to Say"
    Words and Music by Colin McConnell

    Precious little time to figure it out
    I got my foot in my mouth
    And my hand on my wallet
    And I’m trying to get what you’re all about

    But somewhere in between ‘hello’ and ‘can I buy you a drink?’
    I lost my way and I went on instinct
    And my remark about your body
    Should have been enough to scare you away

    I struggle to find the lines
    The words to sweep you away
    But in the crucial moment
    I got nothing to say

    It’s a fine line between stupid and clever
    I’m like the fool who’s in deep to the house
    And keeps on pulling the lever

    But somewhere in between the ace and the deuce
    I draw a little bit of chance and get you in my caboose
    And if we took a ride together
    It would be enough to send me away

    Me in all my glory
    You in your negligee
    But when the lights go out
    I got nothing to say

    I put a line in a composition book
    It was fluid and graceful
    It had a good hook
    A perfect marriage of a come on with some poetry
    But when I read it back it sounded kinda hokey
    I think I put an iamb where there should have been a trochee

    And then I lost my temper
    I threw the book away
    So please don’t ask me why
    I got nothing to say

    Somewhere in between the ‘yes’ and ‘I do’
    You figure out you don’t and you find someone new

    And I’m right back where I started
    And everything’s okay
    ‘Cause when you’re all alone
    There’s really nothing to say
