The Beat Goes On

(.WAV format)

Music: Peter Harlan & CVX

Lyrics: Peter Harlan & CVX

Album: Inner Child Proof

The Beat Goes On is a whimsical song of life and growing up. Have you ever had ice cream for breakfast?

Crocodile Tears

(MP3 format)

Music: John Milne

Lyrics: John Milne

Album: Live From Paris

Crocodile Tears is smoooov. With many o's. Check out the flugelhorn solo by Joe, and the "bum-bum's" by John.

High And Lonesome

(MP3 format)

Music: John Milne

Lyrics: John Milne

Album: Inner Child Proof

High and Lonesome is a song about the cruelties of alcohol and despair. Enjoy!

I Hear The Fat Lady Singing	Music: John Milne
	Lyrics: John Milne
	Album: Live From Paris

This song is a visual spectacular, a cross between country and opera.

The IHOP Song

(MP3 format)

Music: Andrew Blendermann

Lyrics: Andrew Blendermann

Album: Live From Paris

This song is a Middle Eastern / Big Band Jazz song about food.

Inertiaville

(MP3 format)

Music: Joe Dennis & CVX

Lyrics: Ted Schillinger & Joe Dennis

Album: Inner Child Proof

Inertiaville is a song about nothing.

It's Only Life

(MP3 format)

Music: Tim Eaton & CVX

Lyrics: Tim Eaton & CVX

Album: Inner Child Proof

This song is about not taking yourself too seriously -- a must-hear if you aspire to higher levels of zen.

Mexican Polka

(.WAV format)

Music: Ted Schillinger, Joe Dennis, & CVX

Lyrics: Ted Schillinger

Album: Inner Child Proof

This is a wild one. Fiery - I mean, fuego-y...

Raccoon	Music: Joe Dennis & CVX
	Lyrics: Joe Dennis & CVX
	Album: Live From Paris

Raccoon has a latin feel, and is about smacking small mammals and lawyers with cleaning equipment. We suspect a late-night burrito at the Dennis household is to blame.

Rooftop Dancing

(.WAV format)

Music: Ted Schillinger & CVX

Lyrics: Ted Schillinger

Album: Inner Child Proof

This is a very sweet song about love and risk. And being afraid of heights. We actually heard someone used this as the first dance at their wedding.

So Far

(MP3 format)

Music: John Milne

Lyrics: John Milne

Album: Live From Paris

A Beach Boys "tribute" - Brian Wilson is turning over in his sandbox. So Far actually won Best Original Song at both the Regional and National levels of the Harmony Sweepstakes.

This Song Is So Catchy	Music: John Milne
	Lyrics: John Milne
	Album: (unrecorded)

No, really, it is. If we ever record it, we'll prove it to you. Until then, you'll just have to hear this power-rock groove at one of our live shows.

World's Drunkest Man	Music: John Milne
	Lyrics: John Milne
	Album: (unrecorded)

This is another John Milne song. It is about his vacation last year. Considering the subject matter (setting "a new world's record for drinking"), you may never hear it except in a bar.

Yuppie Refugee

(MP3 format)

Music: Peter Harlan & CVX

Lyrics: Peter Harlan & CVX

Album: Inner Child Proof

This song has a good sound, but we don't do it much any more because the lyrics are getting dated ("I suffered through the eighties...").

Gloria In Excelsis Deo

(MP3 format)

Music: John Milne

Lyrics: John Milne

Album: CVXmas

John's attempt to write a traditional carol. We think he succeeded.

You Better Open Up My Present

(MP3 format)

Music: John Milne

Lyrics: John Milne

Album: CVXmas

Destined for Holiday radio airplay - if it can just get past the censors....
