Duty Calls (2023 Re-record) 04:15
lyrics

Duty Calls I got the call once again To perform my usual tricks She's in distress and needs some help The only kind that I can fix When duty calls I stand at attention When duty calls I get honorable mention I'm in the book so look me up usually in the personals I do house calls, with nothing fancy Just the stuff in my arsenal When duty calls I stand at attention When duty calls I get honorable mention If you've got an itch then I'll scratch it the payment's usually cheap Great service, it don't come easy sometimes priceless means free When duty calls I stand at attention When duty calls I get honorable mention Lyrics (c)(p)2003 Greggkoval.com

Pulled Over I was going down the road and I guess that I was speeding passed the posted signs that I wasn't reading I was going a little too fast and all those cars that I just passed are in my rear-view It was then I noticed all those cherries flashing Going around the other cars that I was passing I stopped at the side of the road Waiting to to be told It was all I could do She pulled me over and over again - giving me a hard time And that did teach me a lesson - it's a strange way to pay a fine I guess I'll be a little late and I'll have some explaining But she did spend some time doing her basic training She's a pro there's no doubt Knows what it's all about And oh, that's true She pulled me over and over again - giving me a hard time And that did teach me a lesson - it's a strange way to pay a fine Well, I can't spend my day here - I really must be going But I had to thank her for her showing... me - how things go I always wanted to know and now I do She pulled me over and over again - giving me a hard time And that did teach me a lesson - it's a strange way to pay a fine She pulled me over and over again - giving me a hard time And that did teach me a lesson - it's a strange way to pay a fine Lyrics (c)(p)2003 Greggkoval.com

What A Day So Far What a day so far from the moment I got in the car I need to take a break just to re-evaluate I'll just grab a seat and order myself something to eat Nothing too bad's happened yet but I wouldn't say I'm all set She asked if I was OK and how things are going today While she took my order I told her I got pulled over Other than that everything's fine except that I'm pressed for time Nothing too bad's happened yet but I wouldn't say I'm all set She asked if I was on vacation for some rest and relaxation I said that I'm from out of town and I don't really know my way around She offered to be my guide after work later that night Nothing too bad's happened yet but I still wouldn't say I'm all set We'll have some fun she said I'll see you when I'm done Lyrics (c)(p)2003 Greggkoval.com

Says It All I woke up I looked around and she is nowhere to be found I wonder where she could be I make my way out of bed I pull a shirt over my head I wonder where she could be She's not in the front She's not in the back She's not downstairs She's not in the bath I look for her everywhere not a sign or a trace what says it all is on my face I grab a cup, I keep it black I have a seat and I think back I wonder where she could be There were no problems that I could tell Oh I slept so well That I didn't hear her leave She's not in the front She's not in the back She's not downstairs She's not in the bath I look for her everywhere not a sign or a trace what says it all is on my face This is something I'll get used to I didn't make her do anything she didn't want to do I got my steps that I'll retrace There was something I just can't place Why she'd get up and leave This isn't the way it should be This isn't the way it should go I guess I can't take her seriously anymore She's not in the front She's not in the back She's not downstairs She's not in the bath I look for her everywhere not a sign or a trace what says it all is on my face Lyrics (c)(p)2003 Greggkoval.com

Disappear Well, think about the good things and I'll of the same And I never will forget you and I'm so glad I came The reason I have to go has nothing to do with you I'm sorry that you feel that way because that's not really true My work here is done I'll take my leave You won't remember that I was here After I disappear The feeling that I have for you I just can't ignore And there's no more time to spend but I wish we had more My work here is done I'll take my leave You won't remember that I was here After I disappear It is just what it is and that's the way it goes Will there be a next time I don't really know My work here is done I'll take my leave You won't remember that I was here After I disappear Lyrics (c)(p)2003 Greggkoval.com

about

In 2003, I released a CD called The Spy Is The Limit, a concept album where I was a spy, I beat the bad guy and got the girl in the end. The original songs were recorded on a Tascam 4-track. A lot of cool gear can happen in 20 years.

To celebrate this milestone in aging, I re-recorded the entire thing this year. A BandCamp exclusive.

It's the best movie this year that you don't have to watch.
