I'm all up in those right kinds of wrongs I've done a lot of things folk might regret! I'm knee deep in all those good kinds of bad that can make a man lose all respect! I missed my golden age I was drinking from the cradle right thru to the crypt! I'm always last man standing if you ask me how I got so low, I slipped! I lost my money I lost my car My girl went with them I went too far It's plain to see Where it all went wrong Everyone knows I can't help it! Let me tell yuh, a brother on the street ask you "what's up with that Stevie C he swear he nice" you tell him "he don't swear he nice, he knows he's nice" I don't wear camel hair, leather belt, dine on locusts and wild honey! When there's nothing before me but thang, baby you know where I'll be spending my money! I ain't no ratfink lowlife coward, if you offer you know I'm gonna take it! Baby leave your heart anywhere near me and you know I'm just gonna break it! I lost my money I lost my car My girl went with them I went too far It's plain to see Where it all went wrong Everyone knows I can't help it!

Scandalous 02:36
I was feeling kind of Monday even though the joint was jumping at the weekend When this sweet young sugar come bumping up beside me said "what's your name?" Well she kicked off her shoes just to feel that groove, man she could move She said "you better get it together 'cuz I won't forever for your groove" "You wanna get on down to one song? Baby I wanna barefoot it all night long, you got to try an keep it up" I said "I bet you've never met a cat who ever made you sweat like this before?" And then I moved on right up and showed her I could tighten up on the floor She said "I dig your style it's been a while since I could say that" "But just because you ride the pony doesn't show me how long you'll last" "You wanna get on down to one song? Baby I wanna barefoot it all night long, you got to try an keep it up" Man it sure was a groove this time! Put some weight on it! Come on get on your feet! You sure make me nervous when you're in your seat! Kick off them shoes and get soulful 'Cuz baby I'll be barefooting all week!

Crotchless 02:00
Well girl I gotta come clean I've been living a lie I treated you so bad I treated you like an alibi Is that messed up? Is that wrong? I spent the past 5 years just hiding these kicks But they were right on my doorstep all along I was outta that door When your boss stopped by I thought you were an office girl But he said you'd left you leather, whips and chains behind Is that messed up? No! Is that wrong? I spent the past 5 years just looking for kicks And they were right on my doorstep all along Does it come in crotchless? Will you dance for free? Will you dance for me? Come on treat me like a dog Come on dig in those heels And now we've finally got a real connection I want you to show me how you really feel Is that messed up? Is that wrong? I spent the past 5 years hiding from these kicks And they were right on my doorstep all along Does it come in crotchless? Will you dance for free? Will you dance for me? Does it come in crotchless? Will you come for free? Will you comefor me?

Main Man 03:46
When it comes right to the pinch Baby i'll take every inch As long as you swear to me I'll always be your main man If you walk on thru that door Baby I'll crawl on my hands and knees across the floor As long as you swear to me I'll always be your main man When it comes right to the crunch Baby I will kick and punch As long as you swear to me I'll always be your main man And if it comes to needing proof Baby I will raise that roof As long as you swear to me I'll always be your main man

Trick Baby 04:32
Trick baby I see right thru your skin All doused in sin Trick baby I see the colour of your lies Same colour as mine Trick Baby I know it's hard But I'll see it thru Trick baby I understand your pain I feel it too Trick baby Don't you hide from me I understand Trick baby I know just where you've been 'Cuz I searched all over this land, and I have found Yes it can get tough out here, we all got to make a living Baby I got my own thing too Trick baby Baby we were built for better things Me and you You know you're almost gone You've been running much too long You know you're almost gone but I'm right beside you You know you're almost gone When you're right they still say you're wrong you know you're almost gone but baby I still love you

If I could only make you understand I'm your one and only sure shot other man If I could only maybe make you see Holidays are meant for you weekends meant for me If I could only maybe understand Why you wanna crush my hand If I could only maybe make you see I don't wanna mess with you, just don't mess with me If you're hearing a noise it's just Jimmy and the boys I'm gonna get one more then I'm gonna hit the door

Time 02:13
You and I should stop wasting time, get together The days we have are all fading fast to whenever I've been told that you run hot and cold like the weather but I can't forget there is no regret where there's pleasure Time is tight enough without waiting for you Do you get your kicks by watching time tick out on your plans My summer love now wears winter gloves on her cold hands I don't know should I come or go out of this land So I will get gone at least I'll move on from this quicksand Time is tight enough without waiting for you

It's only 12:30 and we haven't even got started yet! Baby! Do the broken neck! Baby! Do the broken foot! Baby! Do the broken foot! I got my ass in a trap and I've done got nowhere to look! Baby! Do the broken foot!

Quarter Love 02:47
Your loving ain't no good in quarters baby I need it each and every day And if I don't get all of your sweet loving child This unfulfilled boy might fade away I want it All of your loving baby I want it All of your loving child This quarter love ain't no good for me, no I went back home to my mother To see if I could warm my soul She said "son, you know just what your problem is" "without your woman you can never be whole" I want it All of your loving child, bring it to me I want it All of your loving child Quarter love ain't no good for me Bring me all of that loving I want your loving I need your loving Don't want no quarter love Don't want no half love I need all your sweet love All your love! I want it All of your loving baby I want it All of your loving child Quarter love ain't no good for me Quarter love's no good for me

We play needle-down, rocket powered rock & soul from outer space to your dancing feet via your inner ear.
We play with a fierce right side of the brain and are all about keeping it below the belt.
We've played in art galleries.
We've played in strip joints.
We've played in front of 5 people and we've played in front of 1500.
But we always, always, have soul.
