lyrics

love is a no-win situation
your heart will take you places that you don't wanna go
give up on instant gratification
take it down a notch, baby, take it slow

romance is an imaginary notion
designed to sell us all on the dream
of the black and white, stormy night, hollywood myth
no grey area on that screen

sometimes you gotta drag your feet through the mud
sometimes you gotta admit that you're not always right
sometimes you gotta have your voice heard
but never let your worry last on through the night

because love is a no-win situation
your heart will take you places that you don't wanna go
give up on instant gratification
take it down a notch, baby, take it slow

remember the night that we first met
we were both so drunk it's easy to forget
but the stars they were shinin' in your eye
i bet you knew you were in for a surprise

you may wanna leave, you may wanna run
the grass is always greener in the next town
well you're fallin' fast, you're fallin' hard
now you gotta keep from fallin' down

in love is a no-win situation
your heart will take you places that you don't wanna go
give up on instant gratification
take it down a notch, baby, take it slow

about

Tom Savage Kingston, Ontario

Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more

Tom Savage recommends:

Foolish Frank
by Frontier Folk Nebraska

This is some good ol' fashioned rock and roll! Nice hooks with the right amount of garage band roughness. Tom Savage
go to album
Enderness
by A.A. Bondy

This is what an album should be. A collection of songs that, when placed in a particular order, create a fulfilling listening experience, far greater than that of the individual pieces of music. Tom Savage
