FELLOW MUSICIANS BEWARE..! Here's a warning to everybody. The person in this picture is on Fandalism and claims to be named Shelley Suam. She has been sending messages to many Fandalism members asking them to contact her via email. In truth the photo she is using is actually a person in Moscow named Olga Sharapova and Olga is really a chief physician at the Maternity Hospital, Department of Health. If you send an email to Shelley she will respond with a lengthy message full of lies. Do not respond to this person if she contacts you via a comment on your music. She's not being honest..! Hope all of you are doing great today..! C ya..!

Here's one me and my friends from around the world put together. I wrote it, my friend Jamie Laritz played all the instruments on it, I sang it and JC Binetti created the video. The song title is "If I Don't Have You... I Ain't Got Nothin..!" Lyrics and melody - Tyler Selph- Williamston, MichiganDrums, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards - Jamie Laritz - Nashville, TNVocals recorded by - Sean Barrett of LaBarrettory Studios - Williamston, MichiganFinal mixing - Jamie Laritz of Dog Ear Studios - Nashville, TNIf I Don’t Have You… I Ain’t Got NothinI could be rich and famous…might be a movie starRide around in big black limo or maybe drive a fancy carI could have every single thing everything this world could giveBut I know that that if I don’t have you… then I ain’t got nothin..! No I ain't got nothin..!I could earn a diploma and I could get some degreeI could make a lotta money and I could buy anythingI could make a million dollars or become a billionaireBut I know that if I don’t have you… then I ain’t got nothin…!No I ain't got nothin..!I could travel all around the world from sea to shining seaBut it wouldn’t be no fun at all if you weren’t here with meI could have a castle made of gold and servants at my feetBut I wouldn’t be as happy aAs I am when you’re with me I could climb the corporate ladder go all the way to the topBe a doctor a lawyer or get rich trading stockBut it’s all superficial and it doesn’t mean a thing Cause I know that if I don’t have you… Then I ain’t got nothin..! No I ain’t got nothin..!Said I ain't got nothin..! No I ain't got nothin..!I ain’t got nothin..! I ain’t got nothin..!I ain’t got nothin..! No I ain’t got nothin..!

Here's one of my tunes put to a short video by a couple of my close friends Richard and Maurice. I had submitted a Christmas song to Ford for their consideration as an ad and this was what my friends sent back to me as if it was from Ford. It was a great prank on me as it was shown on my email as coming from TeamDetroitAdv.com and at first I thought it was the real deal and they were doing a trial run of it. Pay close attention to the credits at the end for a few hidden meanings in the names which I didn't catch until my friends told me... Anyway... I hope you enjoy it...

Forever Together Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph Hey everyone... This is a song I wrote for one of my best friends weddings back in the 90's. My good friend Andy Shaw on bass. The photo is of the moment me and my wife Cheryl tied the know with a kiss... Hope you all like the tune... Forever Together Both of us knowing that our love is real This is our way of showing the way we truly feel Thinking now of the good times we've shared in the past And we've both come to realize that we want them to last forever... together... I think of the future and living with you Nothing else I could dream of that I'd rather do... and we'll share all our feelings and erase all our fears and our love will grow stronger as we share the years together... Forever.... sharing our lives together.. Forever ever and ever... We accept that the future... may sometimes get rough but we know that we'll make it Cause our love is strong enough. We won't let anything stand in our way... No nothing can come between the love we share today and forever.... together... Together... forever... As we grow older we'll look back and see... You and I with each other it was truly meant to be So we'll be together and we'll help each other through cause we know what we're doing when we each say I do it means Forever... together... sharing our lives together... forever and ever and ever...

I had to re-post this song... I noticed in my first post I had cut off the ending. I wrote the poem and then Danijela Jovic, (SergeJ77 on Fando) was kind enough to offer a piano accompaniment. It is about a very close friend and once listened to, you'll know what happened to him. He will be sorely missed. I want to thank Danijela so much because without him on the piano... this would just be a poem... "One Guys Death" My friend of 10 years shot himself in the chest… three times… believe it or not? With a revolver… as impossible as that seems… But nonetheless we were told by those who discovered his body there were no sign of foul play… just one set of footprints… leading away from the van… which had gotten stuck in a farmer’s field. The footprints led from the van to a single wooden hunting blind… raised on stilts… approximately eight feet off the ground… It appeared that under heavy sedation from a mix of prescription pills he had been taking for back pain… that he made his way to the wooden blind…climbed the ladder and once inside…decided this was the place to end it all. I feel very saddened that although I had made many attempts to contact him over the past few months… I had not spoken to him... When traveling near his home my wife and I had called to see if we could drop by… but no one ever picked up the phone or called us back so we never did… and now… we both wish we had… I deeply regret that we did not go there and did not recognize until too late… what was really going on… I am also deeply troubled by the fact his wife… of 10 years… did not take care of him... and never reported to someone the severity of what was happening… and this in and of itself is a tragedy..! During the last weeks I have had so many questions? Even doubting whether or not it was actually a suicide? So I conducted my own investigation and was very thorough… Even visited the scene… yes I was there and saw the wooden blind where it all happened. I also studied the autopsy pictures of my friend’s face that I could not even recognize. A full face beard... a loss of over 50 pounds in less than two months? He looked as though he had been totally neglected and left to just wither away..! I cringed as I saw the bullet holes in his chest and I cried. It was extremely hard to accept but I realize now… that it must be true and he did in fact take his own life for there is nothing to prove otherwise… This fact I have to come to resolution with and understand, there’s nothing I could have done...perhaps… even if I had spoken to him… well it was his destiny. So I say farewell to you my good friend with whom I fished, and camped and I played and sang with and I want to tell the world… that this guy… will never be forgotten….RIP my friend…

We Cried, a poem written by Tyler Selph Piano by Danijela Jovic. I am honored to have Danijela (Sergej77) work with me on this project. His melody was the perfect fit if you ask me. Hope you all like it... We Cried I came home late one night stepped through the door I saw a strange man whom I’d never met before My wife said it was awkward I would call strange From that night on… my life it changed I turned around as she stepped in the room And I could tell I smelled her sweet perfume And though she’d shown me its not me she’s really thinking of She claimed that it was only me… she truly loved I didn’t buy it… it was all a lie Could see she’d fallen for that other guy I stood and listened as she tried to justify Then I kissed my wife goodbye… And we cried and we cried… as I kissed her goodbye… You think in life you’ve got things figured out Then find out what life’s really all about You want to go somewhere just run and hide To take your lumps and swallow all your pride But now it’s over now for me and her Hard to remember now it’s all a blur I wish that we were still the way we were But then again… I really don’t Today I saw her briefly on the street She softly spoke to me her voice so sweet But still I knew that I could not repeat that scene Know what I mean? And me and her we cried when I kissed her goodbye I’d grown tired of all her lies.. We both had tears that filled our eyes… As I told my wife goodbye… yes we cried… we cried… and we cried…

I've Gotta Ask My Wife, copyright 2017 Tyler Selph all rights reserved. This song was originally a very cool instrumental created by Sergej77 and he allowed me to add some lyrics to it. Here is a link to Sergej77 original post. http://fandalism.com/sergej77/bqOB Hope you like it..! Lyrics... Had this friend of mine that came to me way back in nineteen-eighty-three Said now’s the time to buy some stock… in Apple, just two bucks a shot He told me I’d get rich one day Two thousand’s all I’d have to pay To own one thousand shares that great I’ll put that apple on my plate. I said to him that sounds real good you know I’d do it if I could But you know friend I’d be truly cursed if I don’t go and ask my wife first... "Happy wife happy life" :-) So I proposed to my sweetie pie… my friend said now’s the time to buy But she said boy there’s just no way that we could now afford to pay Two thousand bucks that’s all we’ve got… and it’s a gamble just a shot A shot in the dark with no guarantees so my wife no and would not agree... She was looking after me... Eventually I wound up broke my wife she left with another bloke The price of Apple stock look there… A hundred forty bucks per share..! A hundred forty bucks oh my just did the math and I wanna cry A hundred forty thousand bucks… My wife said no and I got fucked So where’s my wife you ask of me? Remember that friend in 83? She looked him up and he was rich ran off with him that friggin bitch That’s right she took on his last name in search of fortune in search of fame Just take a look here at my life… cause I had to go and ask my wife..! Ahhhh... but in the end I fared okay even though my wife and my friend ran away I remember back to eighty-three and what my friend had said to me Little secret too that I’ll now let out… see I’d bought 8,000 shares no doubt Seven hundred grand my friends do you like the way this story ends?

Happy Easter Everyone..! From Tyler and his family..! Have fun everyone and remember...today we remember a SONrise like no other..!

I Lit A Candle For You song by Tyler Selph, copyright 2017 All rights reserved. Here's one that I uploaded as just a poem a few years ago and decided to put a melody to it and here's the end result... Hope you like it... When I invited you for dinner you surprised me with a yes. When you asked what I was serving I told you, you would have to guess You smiled when I suggested that we dine in candle light… But in the end.... you said alright… and I had dreamed of this night… So I lit a candle for you baby… and I, I was hoping maybe... That you would make all my dreams come true and I might.... share one night with you... I lit a candle… as I waited for you… I lit a candle... I placed the candle on the table as I polished up the place Stood thinking of the way the light would shine upon your face And I hoped that you would like my place and hoped you'd be impressed As I looked into the mirror hoped you like the way I'm dressed? But suddenly I noticed that the night was getting late Wondered where you were you said that you'd be here by eight? I thought by now that you’d have had a lobster on your plate. Instead I'm only wondering and guess you're running late? But I lit a candle for you baby cause you told me, you told me you'd be there... And I set the candle on the table with champagne for us to share Now I watch the candle melting see the wax all dripping down... And I feel like such a loser and I feel like such a clown… Cause I lit a candle for you baby… but soon… soon it will go out... I guess the date you made with me… you simply… forgot about... And as the candle keeps on melting it becomes a work of art And I'll never let you know how much you tore my world apart...

His Wife Wouldn't Let Him, copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph, lyrics in description. Here's one that was listed as just a poetry piece about 3 years ago but I decided to plop some music on it and here's the end result... Hope you all enjoy it..! His Wife Wouldn't Let Him Gambling late, way into the night The man’s on fire and his wife outta sight Poker's the game and they do poker right With his wife there beside him… he wins every night And everything is alright..! The cards are all dealt and he draws a straight flush Guy cross the table he raises a bluff But he's holding a winner there in his hand But his wife moves her hand and he understands and he folds… And he does as was told… Cause his wife wouldn't let him she made him give in And if he had won well a ton he would win But his wife wouldn't let him she motioned to fold And he loved her so much… that he did as was told. And his wife wouldn’t let him… She… he learned a long time ago… she's always right That's why he… keeps winning with her every night They all call him the gambler but no nobody knows That his wife's in control with the touch of her nose But nobody knows...? She touches the tip that tells him to hold She touches the bridge and it's time to just fold. She touches the left side he knows he can't win She touches the right and… he's going all in! Mmmm and this is how they both win..! Mmmmm… So that Saturday night, full moon up in the sky The wager ran up to a new record high And the crowd gathered round all to see history But his wife stepped away at that moment you see... Well he stalled and he stalled but… she never appeared What the heck should he do? Lose it all so he feared…oooh So he raised the stakes high and he… said I'm all in And at that very moment was when his wife stepped back in... Then alas the last card and who would have known His card wasn’t dealt and the crowd it all moaned And his wife she just smiled turned and walked out the door Cause her husband’s opponent had offered her more...

"Good with a Gun" Collaboration with John Corsaro I've never really attempted to do Rap music so here's my first rap effort. I asked John if he'd like to be involved in any way and he allowed me to pick any drum post he had uploaded onto YouTube and run with it. So I picked his tuned titled Rhythmic Joker VII and here's what I came up with. Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph "Good With A Gun" 13 year boy and he’s home alone Don’t know now for sure why there was no one else home There and engaged in his video game when he heard a loud sound heard a loud bang There was one bang then two, heard it again, he realized someone else was breaking in So he ran to a bedroom where dad kept a gun and he knew how to shoot it cause his dad taught his son Mhmm to be good with a gun… that’s right Yeah his dad taught his son taught him all that he knew Taught his son how to hunt taught his son how to shoot And had he not time for the teaching he’d done Who knows what would’ve happened that night to his son? Mhmm… who was good with a gun… that’s right The boy ran to a room found the gun and clip racked in a round held it firm to his hip When he met the thieves the boy this is what he did say said you’d better all freeze or I’ll blow you away..! The thieves were all stupid and they all ignored they attacked and he fired two fell to the floor. The other one ran but not far it’s no lie cause there in the driveway… is where that guy died. Mhmm… Cause he was good with a gun, cause his dad taught his son… Police showed up their flashing blue lights found one thief with brass knuckles the other a knife They saw where the burglars broke through the door found them lying in puddles of blood on the floor 13 years old and the cops were all shocked a kid at that age how could he be such a shot... Just 13 years old and the cops were all shocked that kid at that age could be such a great shot But the truth is his dad yes his dad was the one who taught him to hunt and get good with a gun… Mmhmm… yeah his dad taught his son… mhmm and he was good with a gun… From when his dad taught his son… He was good with a gun… and he killed everyone… cause his dad taught his son to be good with a gun… Had he not done what he had done for his son who knows what becomes of his son… with no gun? Yeah his dad took the time to teach all he knew Taught his son how to hunt taught his son how to shoot And had he not took the time and all that teachings he’s done Then who knows what would’ve happen… that night to his son… Who was good with a gun… very good with a gun… Good with a gun… very good with a gun..!

This Song Is About You copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph If I were to write you a love song would you know it was only for you? Cause if written I’d keep it a secret that it’s you who I’m singing it to That’s right I would never tell no one who it’s written for I’d never say But if I were to write you a love song then the lyrics… might give it away... That’s what some folks would say… Cause if I were to write you a love song, it would tell you I’m so glad we met It would tell you I’m so very grateful Al Gore gave us all internet… lol Cause without him we’d not know each other without him I doubt there’s a way That we would have ever discovered or found one another that day... So this song is about you and you know that it’s true… That this song is about you… am I getting this through? That I’m so glad you found me and… I’m glad I found you And I’m hoping you’ll realize… this song’s about you... This song’s about you… So now one last clue I have for you that I hope makes it perfectly clear That this love songs for you and you only, for you and you only my dear For if not for a letter you sent me there’d be, be no song here to write And you know I can only keep dreaming... of sleeping beside you tonight... and you know this is right… Not beside you tonight... So this song is about you… and you know that it’s true… That this song is about you… am I getting this through That I’m so glad you found me and I’m glad I found you And I’m hoping you’ll realize… this song’s about you… and you know that it’s true...

"Meandering Melody" for relaxation and meditation. Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph

I wish I could take credit for the melody line here but I think the Stray Cats as mentioned below may have dibs on that. Actually I did a little research and as it turns out Richard Hell & The Voidoids did a song called Blank Generation having this same progression which came out about 5 years before Stray Cat Strut was released. Some say Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats stole the progression but who knows? Here's a link to the tune if you're interested... You'll find the song at the 16:54 minute mark. https://youtu.be/UkTs883qImY Now the lyrics to my song titled Julio's Song. Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph Julio he's a ladies man and that's all that we really knowWhere he came from nobody knows andnobody knows where he'll go...Out of nowhere he seems to appear.. and he buys everybody a beerWhere he goes all the chicks gather round...Yeah that's where all the babes can be found with Julio... Julio...The women all love him and the men all just wish he would leaveHow does Julio always show with up... with girls on each sleeveJulio..! Julio..!Ahh...he never eats candy he's just too sweet and he mesmerizesthe girl's that he meetsHe's a man full of love and knows how to romanceAll the girls hope that Julio... gets in their pants! Julio... Julio...He's a man full of mystery and he gets all his wine and his women for freeWhen I saw him last night I would swear it's a fact he had three..!When Julio plays guitar and he sings all the ladies they want give Julio everythingTo be by his side and to have a few kids but Julio that's not the way that he lives... Julio... that's Julio...They all tell Julio they... love him and so and they hope and they pray that he'll let his feelings show... but Julio always has somewhere else to go... Julio...Julio... Julio... Julio...

A fun song about St. Patrick's Day. I hope you enjoy it... St. Patrick’s Day..! St. Patrick was born long ago in this world as a boy he was taken one day To the Irish a slave until he had a dream of a ship that would take him away... If you study you’ll learn that one day he returned to the land that had kept him in chains And you’ll see what he did was convert all the pagans oh yes he did make quite a change..! So they made him a Patron and when he did die I’ll not lie that he paved all the way For those who had listened converted to Christians and that’s why he’s famous today..! So why all the beer well that’s not really clear but it’s clear that the beer will be green And they’ll put it away by the pint all the day and get ripped if you know what I mean? So I’m raising my glass and I’ll toast to the past and the Saint who deserves to be cheered So here’s to St. Patrick come on raise it up but make sure that’s your mugs full of beer..! Pass one over here..! Yes its St. Patrick’s Day and we’re going to have a parade..! And we’ll all get drunk its okay it’s finally St. Patrick’s Day Yes it’s St. Patrick’s Day and we’re going to have a parade And we’re going to drink lots of brew And you know that’s just what we will do. On St. Patrick’s Day..! Finally St. Patrick’s Day So today is St. Patrick’s Day… and everyone’s happy and gay And you better wear green if you know what I mean or get pinched on the cheek of the ass! So we’re going to have us a beer And we’re glad everyone can be here And we’ll all say hip hip hooray! Cause it’s finally St. Patrick’s Day..! Ahhh it’s St. Patrick’s Day… we all get to behave… and get carried away..! We love St. Patrick’s Day! Ahhh now come on out and play..! Cause its St. Patrick’s Day..!

A song in A Capella that I made up as I went along. Inspired by the power of mother nature! Oh listen to old man Winter blow We've had with all of old man Winter's snow and as March marches in soon the Spring will begin But for now hear the wind as it blows... old man Winter...So you hear the strong winds and you know soon they'll end And the Spring will appear and the new new-born deer...And for now we'll just hear old man Winter... Winter blow...Just hear as he blows... Old man Winter's blowing And although it's not snowing... old man Winter blows...

"Fandalism" I'm sure I'm not the first to write a song about this wonderful place but I hope you enjoy this... By now we know the DJ on the radio has no control at all of what we hear... The record biz executives its they who give the order this is all too clear... The radio’s repeating keeps repeating keeps repeating everyday... Tune in today and they will play exactly what they played you yesterday..!… And that’s why I say... Thanks goodness Phil decided on that day five years ago That he’d create a place where great musicians all could go A place where… it don’t matter who you are… A place where anyone can be a star..! Here on Fandalism… what a place… where poets and musicians all create... Fandalism it’s the perfect place to be custom built by folks like you and me On Fandalism..! So now you know… the place to go… when radio has truly turned into a bore Come listen in and you’ll begin to realize that Fandalism... offers so much more And if you’re making music you must use it so your songs will all be heard Don’t keep your stuff up on a shelf all to yourself folks that would be absurd Come let it be heard On Fandalism what a site... you check it out and you’ll see I’m right Fandalism come and check it out you’ll see Custom built by folks like you and me… here on Fandalism Where it truly is… a place where we… adults can act like kids... Fandalism… come join in and help it grow Go tell everyone you know... bout Fandalism So I say thanks to Fandalism now Good gosh without it where would I be now? Probably searching for some place to play my songs But here on Fandalism… I’ve found a place where I belong..! Fandalism with my friends a place where hearing brand new music never ends Fandalism it’s where true musicians jam… here in Fandiland! In Fandaland… here in Fandiland… here in Fandiland… ah it’s grand in Fandiland..!

"The City", copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph Here's a live version of a song I first posted a few years ago... Stuck again in city traffic... another Friday afternoon... Everyone's in such a hurry... Cause the weekend will be over soon... I'm looking in my rear view mirror That guy he's riding way too close... I think if he gets any nearer... I'll hit the brakes and he'll be toast... hit the breaks and he'll be toast..! I think that's what he needs the most...! But why is he in such a hurry and why is everybody else... We live our lives in such a flurry... why do we always push ourselves? I guess it's living in the city I guess it's just the city way... I think I'm gonna leave this city I think I'm gonna get away... get out of the city..! I think I'm gonna leave today... yeah... yeah Cause when you leave the city... everything slows down... Yeah when you leave the city... you can get unwound... But if you never leave the city... then you'll never know... What it's like to leave the city... and let your problems go.... away....! Push and shove and stand in lines... Almost everywhere you go... You feel you're wasting so much time Where did another day just go? I think of living in the country... I think of living on a farm... no need to lock my doors and windows... No need to have a car alarm... No I'd be feeling safe from harm... No need for a car alarm... no no... But even if I left the city... and traveled somewhere far away... I know that I'd be back to see my city... Yeah I know I'd be back someday... because I'd miss the city... Yeah even if I went away I know that I'd be back one day... Oh yeah I'd miss the city.. And I know that I'd be back one day... Even if I left the city... I know that I'd be back one day..! Ahhh I'd miss the city..!

Here's a live version of a song I released earlier. Every once in a while you have to get serious...... read more "Johnny" copyright 2107Johnny's feeling good tonight he buys another round. The waitress serves em up they do a toast then shoot them down.It's just another Friday night like all those nights before. And Johnny and his friends will soon be staggering out the door...Hey Johnny... are you sure that you're okay to drive? Cause I think this time... you may have had too much. But Johnny says that he hasn't drank that much at all... and when he gets home says he' going to call...But Johnny said he hadn't drank that much at all and when he got home... he meant to call. But Johnny doesn't realize just how much he's had... And his trip home is gonna turn out bad...Well the ambulance is racing down the street. And there lies Johnny's body on the ground beneath our feet.At 90 miles an hour on the interstate Southbound. He flipped his car and he flew a hundred feet before he hit the ground. And all of Johnny's friends are there And in disbelief they stand and stare...And all that anyone can say... Is why did Johnny have to die that way...?But Johnny said that he hadn't drank that much at all... And when he got home he meant to call... But if Johnny were alive today I wonder what he'd have to say..? Johnny... miss you Johnny... Johnny...Lord knows we miss you Johnny? Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph

"Drive to You", by Tyler Selph Recorded a while back while still in Orlando. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night And I'm thinkin of squeezin and holdin you tight The telephone is so... close but you are so far away. And if I called what would I say? I'm sure by now you've probably forgotten my name. But that doesn't really bother me I couldn't hold you to blame. Cause it was just one night and it was such a long time ago... And I don't think you know how bad I wanna... Drive to you... babe I wanna see you again... Drive to you... Babe I wanna take your hand... Drive to you... will this feeling ever end... t To drive to you.. oh babe I wanna drive to you... I need to get back... to reality Cause I'll never see you again... Your just my fantasy... But I can keep dreamin.. and wishing that my dreams could all come true... But don't think that I'll ever lose the urge to... Drive to you.... babe I wanna see you again... Drive to you... Babe I wanna take your hand... Drive to you... I wanna take your hand... Drive to you... Babe I wanna drive to you... babe I wanna drive to you... Babe I wanna drive to you... Oh girl I wanna drive to you...! Thanks again to my band members Bo Barbot (lead), Andy Shaw (bass), and Bobbi Gruhler (drums). Photo from caranddriver.com

"A Handful of Nuts", Some may consider these lyrics suggestive. I prefer to call it a public health announcement of sorts. Copyright 2017 Tyler Selph Well I was there the day they laid you in that hospital bed Remember just exactly what the good doctor said He said your test results had really baffled ‘em all And there seemed to be no vitamin E in your body at all And they were all appalled… And what the doc suggested sounded strange I won’t lie And though I’m rather skeptical I’ll give it a try See the doctor told us not to worry we were in luck Told you and me that what you really needed is a handful of nuts A day and everything will be okay Just a handful of nuts… he said… Would help you find your way out of that hospital bed… Just a handful of nuts… A handful of nuts… a day He said a handful of nuts keeps the doctor away And you should have a handful of nuts every day It’s something that I must admit I don’t understand? But I’ve got some nuts for you… so hold out your hand And I’ll fill it up… with a handful of nuts… Oh I’ll tell you what See the nuts I’ve got for you they will make a great snack Let’s put em somewhere safe so they do not get wacked It’s a mystery how holding nuts can make you feel good? But I think you better hold em like the doc said you should... Said a hand full of nuts it’s the one thing you need A handful of nuts to get your vitamin E. A hand full of nuts… let’s let the treatment begin A handful of nuts I’m all in Ohhhh with a handful of nuts… I’ll tell you what…I’ll do a handful of nuts… I hope the ones I have will do for you Handful of nuts for sure… anything for a cure…

"You Write the Lines" copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph. Another old video I found when we were performing in the 90's for students at Full Sale in Orlando Florida. Lyrics below... You write the lines and I'll play the part Even though you know sometimes it's breaking my heart I've studied the script and I know every verse But it seems like my part in this play... is getting worse You write the music and I'll sing the song You won' even help out by singing along And I'm singing he part that you've written for me Buy why does it sound like it's so... out of key..! It sounds so out of key..! You know what I mean? I'll be the puppet and you pull the strings You know you can make do all sorts of things You can make me spring up and make me fall down Lord know you can make me behave.. like a clown..! I feel just like a clown..! You're the potter and I am the clay You know that with me you can have it your way. So you do as you wish as I spin on the wheel. And I don't think you care how it's making me feel..! Don't think you care how it makes me feel..! You write the words and I'll play the part Even though you know sometimes it's breaking my heart I've studied the script and I know every verse But why does it sound like it's always... getting worse...

"You Love Me Still", copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph Presenting another of my earliest songs. This is the second song I wrote.

It's All A Game copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph Another of my tunes written in the mid 90's.

Video of my band in 1995 at Full Sail's location in Orlando Florida which later became the "Roxy Bar" . Full Sail is a recording arts school for those who are trying to learn audio visual skills. There is no audience. This is just for students to learn how to operate the mixing board, stage lighting and video camera. Bobbi Gruhler on drums, Andy Shaw on bass, Bo Barbot on lead and me on vocals and rhythm guitar. Played That Way" Ever since I was a little boy I've been in love with Rock-&-Roll. Used to shake the walls in my room till my parents they would lose control! I'd turn it down little till they went out the door then I'd turn it up loader than I had it before..! Last week we through a party man I tell you we sure drew a crowd. Had those guitars cranking cause we love to hear it really loud..! I can hear my neighbors beating on the door Telling me to turn it down like they've told before I turn it down a little till they go away But it's louder when they leave cause it's gotta be played that way... Cause it's Rock & Roll It's gotta be played that way... Cause it's Rock & Roll Yes it's Rock..! Hanging out on the beach with my friends were all feeling good Somebody yells turn it up so I put my speakers on the hood Suddenly out of nowhere appears a cop Telling me that all that racket has just got to stop I turn it down a little till he goes away But it's louder when he leaves cause it's got to be played that way cause it's Rock & Roll... Yeah it's gotta be played... cause it's Rock & Roll..! It's Rock & Roll..!

A song I wrote and performed live with my good friend Bo Barbot in Orlando back in the early 1990's. Titled "Love Me Too" Why is it you are my best friend Why is it we ever met Why is it all of this most end How will I ever forget I had been searching for so long Thought I had found what I searched for Then suddenly everythings gone wrong And you've turned to walk out the door I know you can make it through life without me But is that the way that you want it to be Think of the things we've both been through People we've loved in the past Why couldn't we have been different Why couldn't we make it last I think as we part from each other Will I ever see you again Even though you're no longer my lover I hope that we'll always be friends And I know you'll make it through life without me But is that the way that you want it to be You say that we're over think we're through But I can't let you go without saying to you I love you... yes I do... I love you.. you know that's true... I love you... yes I do... and I hope you'll always love me too..! And I know you'll make it through life without me But is that the way that you want it to be I love you... yes I do... I'll always love you... You know that's true... I love you... yes I do. And I hope you'll always love me too... copyright 2017 Charles Tyler Selph

Chicago My baby and me we decided that we needed off for a while Wanted to find a fun city to check out that would make us both smile We hopped on the highway and where we’d end up didn’t know But before the day’s end we were both heading into Chicago… Pulling into Chicago Well the first thing we found as we traveled around were their tolls One after the next and we thought what the heck this is out of control And before we’d arrived we’d spent many a five dollar bill And we thought to ourselves if we see one more toll we’ll grow ill… On our way to Chicago… Chicago And we finally arrived at our Palmer Hotel where we stayed I can promise you people they didn’t give those dang rooms away And there’s nowhere to park so you bet you get charged for valet It’s nothing to laugh at its seventy-five for each day..! Oh you’ll pay in Chicago… go and stay in Chicago… You’ll understand what I say bout Chicago… Folks it ain't no joke you’re gonna go broke If you stay just one night you will see what’s not right in Chicago… Where it’s sad but it’s true that the toll booths will mess with your mind Nothing is worse than when you’re getting nickeled and dimed Yeah you go out to eat and you pay just to just to park folks its rough As if coming to dine in their restaurant just isn’t enough… Folks its rough if you’re there in Chicago They call it the windy city… ah… me… I prefer to call it spendy So we stayed in Chicago but couldn’t stay long Before we both knew it our money was gone We just stayed there one day and one night that’s no joke And when we finally left we we’re totally broke… From our stay in Chicago… You go you’ll pay in Chicago I know it’s not a nice thing to say but Chicago… mmm… Chicago…

Santa’s Little Helper By now you’ve heard bout Santa and his reindeer and his tiny elves too… They’re there to help out Santa and that’s exactly what they’re there to do But Santa’s got a little secret helper that he keeps all to himself Yeah this little helper does way more for Santa than his little elves... She’s Santa’s little helper… and when he’s tired and cold She’s Santa’s little helper… and she’s always there to hold When Santa needs some help then he can count on all his elves to be around But when Santa’s feeling lonely… he needs only his little helper to come round That’s Santa’s little helper… on a cold and snowy night Santa’s little helper… there to treat ol Santa right Cause when Santa’s feeling cold then he can hold his little helper tight Yeah she’s Santa’s little helper she makes sure he stays all warm at night When Santa needs a lift she’ll come and sit on Santa’s lap She’s Santa’s little helper and she’s his gift to unwrap… She’s Santa’s little helper… She’s Santa’s little helper… Most people think that Santa’s all alone on Christmas Eve but they’re all wrong See Santa’s little helper’s in his sleigh to keep him warm all night long And when it gets real cold there on the North Pole late late at night Well it’s Santa’s little helper who is keeping Santa feeling alright She’s Santa’s little helper… all through the night Santa’s little helper… and she’s really quite a sight And when Santa wants a treat as sweet as candy Aww… Little Santa’s little helper comes in handy Ahhh Santa wants to stay so warm at night It’s Santa’s little helper that he’s holding oh so tight… Long into the night… She’s Santa’s little helper… She’s Santa’s little helper… She’s Santa’s little helper… Santa’s little helper… Santa’s little helper… Santa’s little helper…

It Was A Long Time Ago, a simple instrumental I hope you all enjoy..! by Tyler Selph copyright 2016

Together It was a long time ago in a place far away Where they all lived in peace or that’s what they all say And the peace that was there was like no other where And the people were happy that they were all there There was never a worry and never a care There was peace in the land and everyone shared They all shared the same dream and they all got along And together they’d sing they’d all sing the same song They would sing we’re all one we are one and the same Though we’re all different colors and we have different names Sing no-one is better than anyone else And we’ll all stick together and we’ll all help ourselves And together they managed to achieve so much more Than they ever got done when divided before They had strength to move mountains and yes everyone Was surprised when they realized what they had all done But none would be done and those goals never reached If everyone hadn’t decided to meet To all join together and work it all out And that's why all their dreams were reality now A dream of existing together in peace A dream of realizing the fighting could cease A dream that came true for the very first time When they gave up their differences opened their minds The dream that had seemed just a dream until they All decided to put all their difference away And discovered that everyone all were the same Even if different colored and with different names...

Heroin People keep on buyin it and tryin it and dyin it seems People keep on shootin it and bootin it and ruining their dreams People keep on snortin it and hoardin it and losing their lives And that heroin thrives on those few who survive… a life on heroin Talkin bout heroin… But let’s say that you’ve tried it can’t deny that’s the best thing you’ve done Starts out as so euphoric can’t ignore it’s oh so much fun Ahh… but what’s so fun about it when without it you can’t seem to carry on But this is what you risk if you insist on taking this demon on… And I’m talkin bout heroin… Oh don’t you dare… go try… heroin.. Just one little dose and become comatose and so high… But it just takes one hit of bad shit and my friend you could die And those needles you are sharin without caring… no you don’t care at all Lose your mind if you can’t find it you will fail to read the writing on the wall when you’re hooked on heroin… and you’re cookin heroin… And dad’s and moms are all crying cause they’re children are all dyin and the dealers they’re just lying to keep their children buyin… more Just one little dose become comatose oh so high… But it just takes one hit of bad shit and my friend you will die And your mamma she’ll cry… cause you bought into the lie… When you had to go and try and look what happened when you died…from tryin… heroin…

In a perfect world You would win every game And in a perfect world there is no one to blame In a perfect world there’d be no right or wrong In a perfect world everyone..... just gets along In a perfect world But a true perfect world that’s impossible see And the truth is that’s something that never could be There’s a reason why people always disagree Cause what’s perfect for you isn’t..... perfect for me Are you starting to see? If the pitcher strikes out every batter he meets They all call that a perfect game but was it really you see Although he seemed perfect when he won that game Was the pitcher so perfect or were the batters just lame? That were playing the game... Let’s say that somebody has big party plans And their praying the rain will not mess up their plans But the farmers depend on their seeds all to sprout And they’re praying for rain cause there’s been a long drought... Have you figured this out? Oh this world isn’t perfect oh no no it’s not Take a good look around and you’ll see what we’ve got It’s a world full of war where the innocent fear It’s a world far from perfect that’s perfectly clear Let’s say that a soldier who fights for his life Has to shoot someone else or to stab with a knife To him it seems perfect he somehow survived But was it really so perfect when the other guy died? At the edge of a knife And his mother she cried… Long into the night… In a perfect world there’d be no fighting at all In a perfect world not one more soldier would fall In a perfect world people there’d be no war And a perfect world’s what we should all be... fighting for In a perfect world… in a perfect world… in a perfect world… in a perfect world...

When You're Down On Your Knees There are times when you’re hurting and feeling such pain And you feel like deserting giving up on the game When you’re pushed to the limit completely stressed out And lost in anxiety and your head full of doubt When you’ve reached the limit and you can’t take anymore And you’re starting to wonder what it is you’re here for? When you’re battered and beaten down on your knees Folks as hard as it seems… that’s where you can find peace From down on your knees… leave all your troubles behind From down on your knees… you can find peace of mind From down on your knees… you’ll gain strength as you pray From down on your knees… God will show you the way Cause when you’re on your knees see there’s nowhere to fall Give over your problems just surrender them all Pray that Lord’s spirit will help you find strength And grow stronger the longer that you’re… down on your knees Down on your knees… When your down on your knees… So if you’re feeling lost and completely confused Tried everything else but still seem to lose There’s a place you can find a solution indeed And that’s there on the ground… when you’re down on your knees Down on your knees… that’s where you can find peace When you’re down on your knees… Picture from https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6126/6008730730_31aa07627c_b.jpg

That Old Guitar There was an old wood guitar and it hung in a bar And it hung there for years while the patrons drank beers No one knew where it came from or where it was found But it hung there for years and did not make a sound… at all... as it hung on the wall… No it never got noticed and never got played Didn’t have all its strings and the one’s left were frayed It did nothing but hang there for a decade or more Till that night that old man came and walked through the door And he asked our bartender what is that hanging there Said just a beat up guitar we’ve had there for years And he stood for a while then politely implored Can you take the thing down so I can see it some more… That old... guitar… Hanging there in our bar So we took the guitar and we brought it down And the old man he left then came back around. And when he returned he just just had two things An old tuning fork and a new set of strings And he took off the old ones and he strung up the new Then he tapped on his fork and he got her in tune Then he pulled out his pick and he started to play And the next thing you know We were all blown away as he played... that old guitar... Ohhhh he played and played and played that old guitar... Then the old man quit playing with a tear in his eye And he Looked to us all and said it's no lie Said he’d lost this guitar a long long time ago How it got to this bar said he just didn’t know Then he went back to playing till we closed the place down And we were all overjoyed his guitar had been found And when he finally quit playing that guitar for us all Well he took that guitar… And hung it back on the wall That old guitar... mmmm back on the wall Ohhh...Where it belonged That old guitar... Hanging there in our bar...

Here's one of my songs I had re-done by a female vocalist. Her name is Kim Everett. Love em and Leave em Well it would've been nice if you told me goodbye And I've called and I've called but I get no reply And I can't figure out why you don't wanna talk Gosh the least you can do... is say hey take a walk..! And the touch of your hand well I miss it so much And I can't understand why we can't keep in touch But I guess I should've known from the very first day... That you love em and leave em.. And you like it that way... Said you love em and leave em... And you like it that way... So I figure if you will not answer the phone Well you're probably wishing I'd leave you alone So I'm sending this letter and I'm setting you free And I'm saying I miss you... and I wish you missed me. And I'd ask you to call if I thought that you would But I'm starting to feel like you've left me for good But I guess I should've known from the very first day That you love em and leave em... And you like it that way... Yeah you love em and leave em... And you like it that way..! Said you like that way... yeah you love it that way... Said you like it that way... gotta have it that way..!

They started in on us very young with their cigarette bubble gum Didn’t care about anyone but themselves. When some of us went to school well we liked breaking all the rules And we all thought it was really cool… to start smoking…. had to start smoking… We’d get a break and we’d run and hide light em up and we’d all get high But now we all wish that we’d never tried… to start smoking… why’d we ever start smoking? Cause now we smoke every single day and yeah we give all that money away And we all wish we could find a way… to quit smoking… yeah we need to quit smoking… New Years Eve millions make a vow to give up smoking cigarettes somehow But two weeks later what’s in the mail cigarette manufacturers hope you’ll fail Yeah they only want you to stay their slaves don’t care if you go to an early grave… That just hope you’ll never find a way… to quit smoking… don’t want you to quit smoking… So you should take what you’ve left and burn em all in a fire While you pray that you no longer have the desire You’ll be saving your life if you know what I mean Turn your back to this demon they call nicotine… And quit smoking… oh yeah you gotta quit smoking… And you know I’m not joking… You just gotta quit smoking… Mmm… you gotta quit smoking… And you know I’m not joking… Said you’ve gotta quit smoking… And you know I’m not joking... So come on and quit smoking… Come on and quit smoking… Yeah you gotta quit smoking…

I could be rich and famous Might be a movie star Ride around in big black limo Or maybe drive a fancy car I could have every single thing Everything this world could give But I know that that if I don’t have you Then I ain’t got nothin..!

No I ain't got nothin..! I could travel all around the world From sea to shining sea But it wouldn’t be no fun at all if you weren’t here with me I could have a castle made of gold And servants at my feet But I wouldn’t be as happy As I am when you’re with me I could climb the corporate ladder Go all the way to the top Be a doctor a lawyer Or get rich trading stock But it’s all superficial And it doesn’t mean a thing Cause I know that if I don’t have you… Then I ain’t got nothin..! No I ain’t got nothin..! No I ain't got nothin..! Said I ain't got nothin..!

Immortality People ask me why I write and sometimes stay up late at night Searching for the perfect words to match a melody I’ve heard inside my head Running round inside my head There in my head I hear a tune and the lyrics they’ll be added soon I’ll toast it then I’ll post it on YouTube And I’ll tell you why that’s what I’m gonna do? Cause once it’s there it’s there for good a hundred years from now it could Be listened to my little song even though I’m dead and gone Yeah when they lay me in the ground my melodies will still be round For years and years and years you see it’s almost immortality That’s what it means to me So even though I’m dead and gone my melodies will carry on And when I finally pass away my songs will still be here to stay Perhaps they’ll play them in their cars or maybe play them in the bars They may come on the radio the fact is I don’t really know No I don’t really know But when it’s time that I move on you see my songs will carry on My songs will still be here to play I’ll be immortal in that way Like Elvis Presley, and James Brown who’s song will always be around I hope that my songs too remain when I am on a different plane On a different plane my songs will still remain Who knows when I’m beyond the grave I may tune in to radio waves To hear a song that I once wrote and I will know it note for note As long as YouTube still exists no reason for me to be missed That’s right I’ll always be around come hear my lyrics hear my sound No I’ll never really leave my songs they’re all a part of me And they will help me to achieve a state of immortality Yeah that’s what it means to me A state of immortality What I’m trying to achieve A state of immortality That’s what it means to me Take my place in history Immortality….Immortality… Immortality…Immortality… Immortality…

Cheryl Marie song by Tyler Selph copyright 2016 Cheryl Marie Was it all just by chance we met that night in that bar And the two of us danced then we took a ride in my car You were only 19 and looked so good in those jeans And it seemed like a dream That you were with me And it was so nice to be With sweet Cheryl Marie Way back in 83 We drove to a party but nobody showed So we jumped in my sports car and we hit the road Then we parked on a hillside you let my fingers explore And we both wanted more We drove back to my place and made our way to my room But somehow we passed out… from all the drinks we’d consumed But neither one worried no neither one of us cared Cause we weren’t in a hurry no we weren’t going nowhere In the morning I woke up and you still there by my side Seemed you wanted make love you had that look in our eyes But before you would let me would let me proceed. You said, don’t ever forget me… My name is Cheryl Marie Don’t you dare forget me That’s what she said to me Back in 83 We drove through the night She was holding on tight She said faster and faster It was love we were after She was so full of laughter Sweet Cheryl Marie As sweet as could be Young and wild and carefree Sweet Cheryl Marie…

The Skinny Pill When she was young still in her teens wore Tie-died shirts and faded jeans Stayed so busy... read mores hardly ate never worried bout her weight All through college stayed so skinny looking thin was all so in Graduated then got married had a baby things got scary And gaining weight she joined the gym but she still was not so thin again It seemed that she had lost her will then came along the Skinny Pill Then came along the Skinny Pill No more jogging no more diet all she had to do was try it If she could just afford to buy it Skinny Pill was all the riot So she gave Skinny pill a try got great results began to cry A tear of joy flowed from her eye that Skinny Pill it was no lie Soon thereafter as predicted it was clear she was addicted Skinny pills were so vindictive of course they all became prescriptive So she had to find a doctor who was willing to concoct her Some disease for which she needed those Skinny pills or so she pleaded Skinny Pills they worked so great she ate and ate and still lost weight Until she’d finally reached her goal but Skinny pills were in control So she got skinny all seemed fine but somehow there in her mind Each time she looked at her reflection fat was there for her detection So she kept taking skinny pills kept losing weight against her will And even though she ate and ate with Skinny Pills kept losing weight!With Skinny Pills kept losing weight She tried to quit but she just couldn’t this story ends the way it shouldn’t Kept on taking Skinny Pills until that day they finally killed her And Skinny pill well it denied that Skinny Pill was why she died They went to court their doctors lied said Skinny pill was wrongly tried But in the end glad to report the people had their day in court And Skinny pills came off the shelves the Skinny Pillers saved themselves So if you think you’re over-weight I think it’s time to contemplate And should be glad you won’t be killed by something called the Skinny pill You should be glad that you’re not killed by something called the Skinny Pill What they called the Skinny Pill The Skinny Pill the one that kills The Skinny Pill

"Why is it so Cold Outside?" Copyright 2014 by Tyler Selph This is just a rough draft recorded on my cell phone. I'll have a studio version soon... In the headlines now and on TV... Say our world’s about to overheat. All our glaciers melting in the sea... and they’re trying to... blame me and you They say the temperature's on the rise and me I'm really not surprised I believe it’s time we realize... when we step outside the door It’s much colder than before! And why is it so cold outside? It really doesn't quite seem right You and I just have to step outside... And there's really no way to hide... It’s so cold outside We hear them all hypothesize Say the mercury's on the rise But I believe it’s time we realize No they don’t really have a clue, What mother natures gonna do... And what is up with all these record lows? Go outside right now and freeze from head to toe And why... is there so much snow? If you wanna know this too I wanna hear you singing too And why is it so cold outside? It really doesn't quite seem right You and I just have to step outside... And there's really no way to hide... It’s so cold outside... Why oh why... is it so cold outside? Why oh why... is it so cold outside? I wonder why... it's so cold outside? I wonder why... is it so cold outside?

His Wife Wouldn't Let Him Gambling late, way into the night The man was on fire and his wife outta sight Poker's the game and they do poker right With his wife there beside him there’s really no fight Cards are all dealt and he draws a straight flush The guy cross the table he pushes a bluff But he's holding a winner about to unfold His wife moves her hand and he suddenly folds Cause his wife wouldn't let him she made him give in And if he had won well a ton he would win But his wife wouldn't let him she motioned to fold And he loved her so much that he did as was told. Cause he learned a long time ago she's always right That's why he keeps winning with her every night They all call him the gambler no nobody knows That his wife's in control with the touch of her nose She touches the tip and that tells him to hold She touches the bridge and it's time to just fold. She touches the left side he knows he can't win She touches the right and he's going all in! So that Saturday night, full moon in the sky The wager ran up to a new record high And the crowd gathered round all to see history But his wife stepped away at that moment you see... Well he stalled and he stalled but she never appeared What the heck should he do? Lose it all so he feared So he raised the stakes high and he said I'm all in Then his wife re-appeared on her face was a grin. She was happy to see see that he was all in Then alas the last card and who would have known His card wasn’t dealt and the crowd it all moaned And his wife she just smiled turned and walked out the door Cause her husband’s opponent had paid her much more No his wife wouldn't let him cause she had a plan His wife wouldn't let him let him play his own hand Yeah his wife wouldn't let him decide on his own No his wife wouldn't let him… then left him alone No his wife never let him… now he's on his own His wife never let him… she left him alone... )-: Photo from www.theatlantic.com

Well I climbed outta bed, with a pound in my head I guess I drank way too much and now here I am clutching the toilet again... But I must have had fun and I know it sounds funny But I… can’t find… my pants...? I remember the party last night at my friends But that's pretty much where my memory ends Appears I may have drank drank a little too much And I know it sounds crazy but I somehow lost touch… with my pants and I don't know where they went. Did I fall in the pool and did I nearly drown? Did I decide to give my pants to lost and found? What the heck did I do with my jeans of blue? I wish I could remember but I haven’t a clue... Well I know it sounds strange And a little deranged. But I can't find my pants! Well I asked all my friends none could reply They said I had em on last night when I said goodbye They said I’d had too much to drink and I didn’t drive I guess I should be happy that I made it home alive Yeah I’m asking you please if you happen to see A pair of old blue jeans would you send them to me If ya happen to hear my pants and they're jingling do me a favor give me a ring Cause I… can’t find…my pants.. no no... said I can't find my pants!

"Google Searching" By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 Google it's a tool that comes in handy I should say But if I we're you then I'd be careful searching it today There's words for sure that you'll avoid you know what they imply But some words bring you bad results no matter what you try If you don't believe that what it is I'm telling you is true Then this my friends is something that I'm asking you to do Before you do I'm warning you that what you're bout to see Could be what lot's of folks I know would call pornography! So go to Google images then type in any word No really go ahead and try it though it sounds absurd Looking for a childrens book then look up Goldilocks Still don't believe what I am saying try to look up box Google Google won't believe your eyes Google Google talk about surprised Google Google I'm here to tell you this Google Google search at your own risk Now some words that you search for they can really blow you're mind Take a long hard look at stiff and you'll be shocked at what you'll find. And yes there's more to come my friends you'll be a true believer If you think your brave enough then look up wood or eager beaver..! Oh yeah my friends you bet you'll have a whole lot on your plate More than you can eat I'm sure if you go search for penetrate But take a break from sex a while and take a look at skunk But once you're done go try this one go try to look up funk So take the Google challenge now and you'll see that it's true If you can find a word that won't show sex then good for you But almost every word you seek will greet you with some skin I guess that goes to show sex sells that's how life is my friends So there now you've been warned of Google images today I guess there's really nothing more I feel I need to say So if you take the time to do your research check it out Go try a Google image search to really freak you out.

You ask if I still love you? You ask if I still love you and I tell you that I do But somehow you don't seem to think I'm telling you the truth You say you think my love for you has changed throughout the years You tell me you have doubts about me tell me you have fears But what is it exactly that you think I'm doing wrong How should I behave to make you see my love is strong Perhaps it's not enough that I remind you everyday That you're my precious sweetheart and I'll always feel this way Is it not enough to hold you close and snuggle while in bed What more do you expect from me than all the things I've done and said Do I not tell you daily that you're my pumpkin pie Do I not make it certain that I'll love you till I die And when you ask me how you look while wearing this or that Do I not tell you you look great insist that you're not fat And when you ask me if you think your new hairstyle's okay Do I not tell you ever time I like your hair that way And when you have a little bump or blemish on your face I tell you not to worry cause it's not that big a case And when you've cooked up dinner and you think it's not that great Who is is that still eats each bite and always cleans his plate So what am I suppose to do to prove my love is real Am I supposed to buy you things to show you how I feel And even if I bought you something every single day Is that the type of love you want measured by how much I pay And when I call you on the phone at least three times a day Does that not prove I miss you dearly while I am away And when I help with dishes and with cleaning round the home Do I not show I love you when we get some time alone And when my day at work is done and I come through the door Do I not pick you up to take you with me to the store To give you hugs and kisses and to say how much you're missed Do I not tell you that I love you do I not do this And when we jump into the car to drive to someplace new I'm doing this because I want to be alone with you And when we're out in public and we're walking hand in hand Surely this should prove to everyone that I'm a loving man So here I am I love you and I've one last thing to say The love I feel for you my dear will never fade away You've read this poem I've made it clear that this is how I feel I hope that now you realize my love for you is real

"Golf" By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 Had this business partner a friend of mine You know that type that's hard to find Dropped by my shop and offered me a round of golf I figured heck why not I deserved a few hours off Now I didn't have no fancy shoes Much less a set of clubs to lose But a drink at the bar sounded pretty darn good to me But wasn't long fore I found myself at the first tee Now the only game I'd ever played Was baseball where I played okay But this thing called golf it's a totally different thing And I just couldn't seem to get down a descent swing Well it'd slice to the right and I'd over compensate Then it'd hook to the left My danged ball just won't fly straight Oh heck now it's flown off into the creek And my soaking wet shoes are starting to squeak And that drink at the bar's sounding better all the while Started thinking bout the fact I'd have to walk about another mile What's this... we're at the club? And we're only half way through So I told by buddy I'd buy him a beer or two We strolled into the lounge and proceeded to get unwound Heck I haven't a clue just how much dough I blew.! When we finally reached tee number 10 All the drinks I'd consumed started kicking in And for some danged reason I started to gain control? And the balls I was hittin they was getting right into the hole! So at hole 17 and swinging like a pro I saw there was only just one hole to go And I told my friend I was gonna whip him yet He just laughed out loud and he said wanna make a bet? Well I didn't really have that much to lose But he asked how much and I said you choose He said two hundred sounds pretty good to me. I didn't have that much but I said that I'd agree. Then... I mishit the ball and fall on my ass and it glances off a tree into two feet of grass And as I thought to myself what a terrible shot I watched my friend hittin a near perfect spot So here I was with a shot really tough Must've been 90 feet from right out of the rough And I closed my eyes as I took my swing As my friend waited for the fat lady to swing Well my shot hit the green and it started to roll And believe it or not headed straight for the hole And I thought for a second my buddy was just gonna die But I'm ashamed to admit it... my shot didn't get it And I broke down and started to cry So just when I thought I was all washed up With my friend and his putt bout a yard from the cup I made one final prayer as his putter contacted the ball Could've heard a pin drop as I watched his ball stop... At the rim... but it just didn't fall! But the sun had said bye so we called it a tie And my friends listen up cause I'm not gonna lie I feel I got pretty danged lucky that day And that's the last game of golf this guy's ever going to play! Good day..!

It can capture special moments that will never fade away I have just such a photo of the one who stole my heart And it hurts to know the two of us Must be so far apart It's really not in focus and the lighting's not too good But this one means the most to me of all the ones I took To me this one is special I don't keep it in a book I keep it in my wallet I like knowing it is there Cause when I need to I know I can take it out and stare It's a picture of a person who means the world to me A picture of a person that I never get to see It's a picture of a little boy that doesn't even know That every time I take it out my tears begin to flow But as I look it over how it fills my heart with joy It's a picture of the one I love a picture of my boy And you might ask where is this boy I never get to see And why is it that I don't have my boy right here with me But mommy's rich and she don't care how much she has to pay She'll use her whole life's saving up to keep this dad away. But that's okay I know some day that things are going to change. Time is on my side and one day things will re-arrange And if he wants to my boy knows exactly where I am. I'm praying that he'll look me up when he becomes a man. And what I'm praying most of all is that he'll understand.

Every night of the week By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 What's that you said? Did I hear you right? You're not coming out? To party tonight? Are you feeling okay? Has something gone wrong? We don't understand? Why don't you come along? It's gonna be fun Hell it's gonna be great We're meeting at TJ's A quarter to eight We're going to suck down a pitcher or two We're going to have a mug waiting for you Hurry on down we can catch happy hour Two for one beers and Hor deurves to devour You can't turn us down we simply won't let it And you know your friends we won't let you forget it So we beg you to come cause we're gonna have fun Please don't let us down heck you know everyone But you simply laugh at the words that we speak Cause you know we do this every night of the week Yeah you know we do this every night of the week, the month, the year the decade, the century... our lives..!

"Noisy Neighbors" By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 Sex maniacs they live next door They're always up till 3 or 4 Making sounds I can't ignore no matter what I do. And I try not to listen in But these damn walls are paper thin And I hear everything my friend Oh yeah you know it's true What they're doing can't be mistaken Especially when the walls are shaking From the headboard on my bedroom wall They start off slow then fore you know it They really do put on a show And lucky me I get to hear it all..! Yes I've got what you would call... Noisy neighbors... I hear em every single night Noisy neighbors...that kinda torture it ain't right I lie here wide awake in bed Can't get those sounds out of my head I wish that I could sleep instead But I've got noisy neighbors It's even worse for me you see Cause my girlfriend just broke up with me It's nothing short of misery To hear them every night I tell ya what those two are doing Pretty sure that they're both screwing With my head and folks that just ain't right..! I don't think I can take much more Of all that passion from next door If things don't change then there's no doubt then pretty soon I'm moving out..! Cause I've got noisy neighbors. Hear em every single night. Noisy neighbors...that kinda torture it ain't right I lie here wide awake in bed Can't get the noise out of my head And I wish that I could sleep instead But I've got noisy neighbors Tonight well things they turned exciting I could hear them when they started fighting And suddenly I heard her shout I think it's time that you moved out! So yeah you bet I'm celebrating Can't say how long that I've been waiting What a crazy twist of fate If I'm the noisy neighbor

"Nikey" By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 A parody of Toni Basils "Hey Mickey" Oh Nikey you're so fine you're so fine why you screwing up your mind hey Nikey... Hey Nikey Oh Nikey you're so fine why you screwing up your mind hey Nikey Hey Nikey When Nikey was a kid he was quick and he was bright He did real good in school and he always acted right Now he's hooked on reefer and smokes it day and night Nikey He used to mind his manners and he used to live with rules Now he can't 'get outta bed he's dropping outta school He thinks he's really smart but he's actually a fool Nikey... Oh Nikey what a pity doesn't understand Really just a boy but he thinks that he's a man Oh Nikey what a pity doesn't have a plan It's guys like you Nikey You think you're cool Nikey, fool Nikey Dropped outta school Nikey He used to be productive and he used to have a mind Now he's self destructive wants to stay high all the time Doesn't realize that he's screwing up his mind Nikey So now it's every morning and his mother tries her best To get him motivated but to him she's just a pest He tells her go away so he can stay in bed and rest Nikey Oh Nikey what a pity can't get outta bed Used to be an athlete but now he's just a head Oh Nikey what a pity wasted all the time It's guys like you Nikey You think you're cool Nikey, fool Nikey Dropped outta school Nikey Oh Nikey you're so fine why you screwing up your mind hey Nikey, hey Nikey Oh Nikey you're so fine why you screwing up your mind hey Nikey, hey Nikey Oh Nikey what a pity stays high all the time He doesn't realize that he's falling way behind Oh Nikey what a pity doesn't have a plan It's guy's like you Nikey You think you're cool Nikey, fook Nikey dropped outta school Nikey

"My Dog" By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 I lost my dog the other day I think he took off with a stray I searched for Max all over town Drove over to the local pound The lady working there said no We haven't found your dog you know I cried and thought Max could be dead And that's when that nice lady said I'm sorry that your dog is lost But see that puppy it would cost you Nothing to give him a home At least until your dog comes home I stopped and thought bout what she said And knew that pup might end up dead And thought it might as well be me To save his life Max would agree But when I grabbed him from the pen The other pups all whined for him What happened next I don't recall But somehow wound up with them all! But I was glad I had each one We sure did have a ton of fun Then sure enough ol Max came home With 4 new puppies of his own..!

"My Boy" By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 Well I had me a really nice house on a lake Till I let her move in man was that a mistake Cause after 6 months when I asked her to go She just stood and she smiled and she shook her head no Said you must be kidding I'm not moving out See I've got lots of money and all kinds of clout Besides now I am pregnant now what do you think? Well I suddenly felt like I needed a drink I called the police and they came to report That to get her to leave have to take her to court But with all of her money I knew she would fight So I just had to choose what I knew to be right So even though I had a 1 year old boy I knew that our fighting would slowly destroy His chances of knowing what true love's about So I grabbed all my stuff and sure nuff I moved out My boy has grown older and he cannot see Why his mommy won't let him go nowhere with me But each time I see him and then say goodbye It kills me to watch as my boy starts to cry But I believe mommy will find out one day That he'll just want me more if she keeps him away And when he grows older I believe she will see That he can't stand her either but he still loves me

"Money" By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 Didn't have it when I got here I can't take it when I go And I know that I won't need it When I reach the streets of gold But I've seen a lot of folks Who like to hoard it all away Too bad that they don't realize Can't use a dime come judgement day When they reach the gates of heaven My how they will be surprised They'll find their like the camel That can't pass the needles eye With their pockets full of silver On their finger rings of gold They'll find they cannot enter They'll be left out in the cold They've saved up all that silver And saved all their precious gold Amazing that with all they've saved None of that can save their souls See money can't buy happiness I've found that this is true You want to live a life of bliss Then here's what you should do Take your money pay your bills With what is left go do Gods will And you will get your just reward The day you finally meet the Lord

"Me the Porno Addict" By Tyler Selph copyright 2014 My wife of nearly 10 years now Well she don't trust me anyhow She's always saying I'm stuck on porn Says I've been that way since I was born She's worried that she can't compete With girls that look so young and sweet And she's convinced beyond all doubt That porno's what I'm all about She's stayed on top of my every move But to this day she still can't prove I've looked at porn since we got married And she never will till the day she's buried She's told me once and she's told me twice She doesn't think it's very nice That I watch porn when she's not around But to this day she's never found One single shred of what she claims But still my friends the fact remains while tracking all my history To see just what it is I see But never has she ever seen Me looking at no magazines For sure I did before we married But since that day the porn's been buried But none of what I've just told you Has changed my wife and her point of view Cause she's never gonna change her mind No matter just how many times I tell her that I don't watch porn She's a woman who still feels she's scorned Hell hath no fury like my wife Yeah she can sure be hell on life No it's not true and she has no proof But my wife calls me the porno addict No it's not true and she has no proof But my wife calls me the porno addict Yeah the truth's the truth and a fact's a fact My wife calls me the porno addict So the other night before we went to bed I'd grown real tired of her in my head And when she started on the pron again Said I've had enough and this has to end Said I'm sick and tired of your false claims And the porno that you try to blame For causing us to soon divorce And we will if we don't change this course So I decided there and then That all this bull shit had to end So I logged on the internet I searched for porn oh yeah you bet And the screen popped up with all this smut There were hundreds of those stupid sluts My wife... she nearly had a fit She grabbed her stuff and she said I quit Said she's leaving me in the morning I thanked her for the early warning And while she went upstairs to bed This thought was running through my head I guess I'm gonna soon be living On my own again and I won't be giving All of my love to a stupid bitch Who thinks I have a porno itch And so to her my jealous wife I bid farewell have one good life And from now on I guess I'll act Like what she claims, the porno addict That's what I'll be the porno addict

"Happy Birthday Grandma" By Tyler Selph copyright 2014 Happy Birthday Grandma and to you we raise a toast. For all the times you've done so much and given us your most. And I think that I can speak for nearly everybody here. When I tell you what a joy it's been to have you all these years. And when I got the word that you were feeling sorta down. And found out everyone you knew was coming here to town. And add to that the fact that you'd be turning ninety-eight. I just knew I had to be here and you new I'd not be late. So Happy Birthday Grandma and I'm feeling oh so glad. You're the greatest Grandma really that a guy could ever have. Yeah Happy Birthday Grandma may your wishes all come true. Happy Birthday Grandma Happy Birthday just for you. So we've gathered here today and we're all here to celebrate. The fact that you have made it all the way to ninety-eight. Yes each and everyone has come to share this special day And think back on those special times we've shared along the way. Yeah we're all here to show you just how much you mean to us. And knowing you, you probably think we're making too much fuss. But this day is a special day that none of us could miss. And all of us have come to show you thanks and tell you this... Happy Birthday Grandma... we love you!

I Lit a Candle By Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 When I invited you for dinner you surprised me with a yes. When you asked what I was serving I said you'd have to guess You smiled when I suggested that we dine in candle light And you didn't know how very long I'd planned for just this night. I placed a candle on the table as I polished up the place. Stood thinking of the way the light would shine upon your face. Hoped that you would like my place and hoped you'd be impressed. As I looked into the mirror hoped you like the way I'm dressed? But suddenly I notice that the night was getting late. Wondered where you were you said that you'd be here by eight. Thought by now you'd have a lobster sitting on your plate. Instead I'm only wondering and guess you're running late. I lit a candle for you baby cause you told me you'd be there And I set it on the table with champagne for us to share Now I watch the candle melting see the wax all dripping down And I feel like such a loser and I feel like such a clown I lit a candle for you baby but soon it will go out I guess the date you made with me you just forgot about As the candle keeps on melting it becomes a piece of art And I'll never let you know how much you really broke my heart.

"School" by Tyler Selph Copyright 2014 Sure I went to school but wasn't really there to learn. Meeting other kids and making friends was my concern. Being sure that I would be the one to get attention. And paying for it later on while serving my detention. Searching for acceptance from my piers I did it all. But often times my actions left standing in the hall. And when I got too out of line while all my friends observed. They'd send me to the office where I'd get what I deserved. No the teachers didn't like me and the principle was firm. And I often felt the paddle and remember how it burned. And the principle would always say this hurts me more than you. You'd think that he'd have realized his paddle wasn't getting through. And now when looking back I wonder why was I so strange. And what could anyone have done to make me want to change. And why was it important making all my friends so sure. That I was all together when I felt so insecure. But now I know the reasons why I goofed around in school. And why I tried to get away with breaking every rule. See all the other kids in class they acted all the same. And me well I was different and they all sure knew my name.

Welcome I said, to American Bed to the couple who came through the door. We're just looking they said without turning their heads and they didn't say anything more. So I'm watching them stupidly wander around and it's obvious they're really cheap Cause they won't even stop at a bed and lie down cause they think that our price is too steep. So who's the bed for I politely implored and I thought I might get a reply. We're just looking they said like we told you before don't you get it we're not here to buy! Well needless to say to be treated this way doesn't make a man feel very good And the fact is I've already had a bad day and I'd tell them screw off if I could. But I couldn't be nice so I said they're half price if you're really JUST looking around So take my advice you'd better think twice that's the best price you'll find here in town. Does that mean that this bed that's a thousand instead would be 500.00 okay! I replied yes indeed but I though we agreed that you wouldn't be buying today. Oh but we've changed our mind cause we know we can't find that bed for that price there's no way. Well I've changed my mind too it's twelve hundred for you I'm sorry now please go away.

Here's a song I was commissioned to write for an up and coming country western singer who is name Leah Thompson. She's only 12 years old but has already won several contests. Sorry about the sound quality but you'll at least get the jest of it.
