Bad Love 04:33
BAD LOVE Don’t know how long I can hold on You keep Breaking my heart And I keep writing songs You’re no good for me And I can’t live in misery Baby I just wont Don’t be afraid, it’s a coming of age If you had any sense, you’d learn from your mistakes But you don’t know, cuz you don’t try Ain’t nothing changed, but you wonder why I’m not running back this time Don’t know how long I can hold on If it’s just bad love I’m better off alone Can’t live in this hell Gotta look out for myself You’ll feel what you’ve lost When it’s you and no one else So, I’m getting out, while I have my pride I’m stepping off of this lonely ride Such a shame I have to say goodbye Don’t know how long I can hold on Don’t know how I keep holding on Don’t know how come I keep writing songs You’re just bad girl, Should’ve known it all along Tell me I’m wrong Tell me I’m wrong Don’t know how long I can hold on If it’s just bad love If it’s just bad, bad, bad, bad love I’m better off alone

GOGO NIKKI, THE SPY She’s assigned to remind you that love is free About as beautiful as can be I think she’s what I need but I might be mistaken She’s the type of girl that’s had a broken heart Don’t know where this will go should we stop before we start I know that we’re both scarred But my heart is achin’ CHORUS: She sings when she talks Shakes it when she walks She’ll bring you back to life when it was lost Gleaming in the mirrorball light She’ll dance to your reflection all night There’s something ‘bout the groove that feels right and I’m awaken Yeah, the story’s something deep behind her eyes My fear’s got me convinced that she’s a spy I can’t find a trace or any reason why Chorus She’s assigned to remind you that love is free About as beautiful as can be I think she’s what I need but I might be mistaken

Mama 04:47
Mama Lyrics by Joel Eckels It don’t take a lot of money Just takes a lot of love I do my best to stay funny But some times I’ve just had enough I enjoy the run-around, the big town, the higher ground But there’s days it just gets me down Mama, don’t worry about your boy, no Mama don’t worry no more This life is my invention You’re where I come from Living off inspiration I learned to take things as they come You always believed in me Even when I’d leave and you’d never know if you’d ever see me again Mama, don’t worry about your boy, no Mama don’t worry no more I know you don’t want to see me lonely Or always one foot out the door But, I’ll find myself a good one I’ve been down this road before Mama don’t worry about your boy, no Mama don’t worry no more

The Trouble 03:53
THE TROUBLE So, what’s the solution? Do I listen to my heart or my head? I can’t tell the difference, Guess I’m a fool to every word that you said Some people think that they know I think that they don’t There’s somethin’ bout you girl Something beautiful that you never show They call you Trouble I don’t believe that’s true Trouble I believe the trouble is you The scene of the crime Was it your fault or mine? I can take the blame If it’s you, girl, you better do the same I ain’t goin’ down for you today So just tell it to me straight Is it true love or lies behind that gleam in your eyes Are you evil or are you just afraid? Are you just Trouble? I can’t believe that it’s true Trouble somethin’ tells me that the trouble is you So, baby, put up a fight Or just get out of my life If you choose to walk away Then I guess I’d have to say they were right You must be Trouble And I’ve got too much to lose Trouble I don’t want no trouble, but the trouble is you I’m in love with trouble and the trouble is you

GOOD IS ALL GONE Oh no, where did the sun go? Seems so far away Used to feel so close You have enough of our good love I guess it faded away Why’d we have to change CHORUS Don’t say that the good is all gone And that it’s time to move on You can take what you want But don’t let it go Don’t believe that it’s true There’s still good in you Don’t say that the good is all gone And leave me alone Never felt nothin’ so hard Yeah, I’m afraid of the dark If that’s how it’s gonna be I love you woman, gonna set you free What’ve you got to say? You gonna slay me like you did yesterday? What’ve you got to say? I’m gonna take all I can take CHORUS Don’t leave me alone Don’t you know, baby, so good Don’t you go, baby, so good CHORUS I don’t believe that it’s true Girl, I’m still in love with you Don’t say that the good is all gone And leave me alone Oh no, where did the sun go?

SING ME SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL I know you’ve got it going on Don’t think that I don’t I know every time you sing that song Just why you wrote it Sing me something beautiful Make me want to take you home Sing me something beautiful Make me feel like I am not alone You got through to me So many times before, you said you wanted more I just wasn’t listening You got through to me If I could only find the words I’d sing you something beautiful To make you want to take me home I’d sing you something beautiful To make you feel like you are never, Never alone I feel like you should write this verse ‘Cause I’m not sure where it goes (edit) We’ve come to the part we’ve not rehearsed I guess we’ve got to let it flow Let’s sing something beautiful To make us feel like we are not alone Let’s sing something beautiful Make me feel like we are not alone Wait, if you go, I’ll just sit here all alone With all the fears staring over my shoulder Baby, please come home

about

This is a 6 song EP from Joel Eckels and the Wreckards recorded in early 2011. Aside from using a couple of the original tracks from the "Dunsmuir sessions" and tracking vocals with Chris Fuhrman, we recorded everything ourselves for this one. All of the rhythm and guitar tracks were recorded live in full takes.

"Gogo Nikki, the Spy" is the first song that the band has written together from scratch.
