1.	Fire 02:59	lyrics	buy track
Help me I'm on fire I'm burning from the inside out The flames are getting hire Consuming my skin Love are you alone Are you burning too? When will you be mine Darling I'm on fire Never let me go And hold me from the upside down As around now And the world revolves Your skin upon my skin Has a shock Of electricity That I'm longing to spark Darling I'm on fire Your a lonely dancer Come hand me your dress In the search for an answer Can I find you there Burning in secret Like a candle flame Twirling and dancing in time
2.	Good Morning, Junebug 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Good morning, Junebug I only wanna be with you I only wanna be with you The world is ending But I'm waiting til the time is right I'm waiting til my time is right I wrote you on a paper heart But the message was torn apart And the pieces left were scattered to the wind Now my words are adrift I only wanna be with you I only wanna be with you, Junebug My mouth is full but the pages are empty I only wanna wish you well I only wanna wish you well The sky started raining excuses I need to find a place to hide I need to find a place to hide I wrote you on a paper heart But the message was torn apart And the pieces left were scattered to the wind Your excuses are there turning over and over again You turn around, you turn and there it is Good morning, Junebug I only wanna be with you I only wanna be with you, Junebug
3.	The Edge of the World 03:38	lyrics	buy track
If I stand on the edge of the world Would you be there waiting for me If I reached out to take your hand I'm slipping through the cracks To the places I can't see the darkness surround me Why start now if it's already too late Last words fade in the light of his heartache At night creatures run through the forest of his reason And you'd better wake up, better wake up If I fall off the edge of the world Would you be there waiting for the Sound of my crashing if its too late to catch me If I start now though it's too late Would last words fade in the light of our heart ache As night creatures run through the forest of our reasons And you'd better wake up But starting from now with the world on my shoulders The sun rising up will be so much colder At night creatures run through the forest of our reasons And you'd better wake up Would you be there to catch me
4.	Rails 04:22	lyrics	buy track
The silence burns my eyes today The sun falls cold against my skin I hide my face in tattered grins We're creeping round in circles Peering though windows and doors Searching for crack in the walls For quiet prayers with answers But they take away as much as the give Folded like a letter in your hand That says all you need is time All you need is space All you need to find Is some way to get yourself back on the rails The airport lines get longer They never seem to come to an end And change when you let your guard down The sunlight burns my eyes today As I'm lifted up towards the sky Who would've thought it was so high All you need is time All you need is space All you need to find Is someone to get yourself back on the rails
5.	More for a Woman to Lose (Discarded Wives) 03:33	lyrics	buy track
I went down to the streets within this town That I probably didn't see until you fell Where whores and men burn the world as they descend And hand in hand dance their way to hell Despite the cares that war within my head I cannot turn away until I see The final deed as she goes down on her knees And at that moment our eyes meet But I don't worry Because its one thing for a man to choose Between the heart he believes and the lover he leaves But its more for a woman to lose Skin and bone as I turned from the unknown And ran before its teeth had sunken in And anger burned like a fire building slow And in that furnace my heart hardened So emerging from the stone came justice and her scales Blindfolded with vengeance, crying for repentance But oh how I despair for you, I despair for you Because maybe you're not the person you thought I would be But I don't worry Because its one thing for a man to choose Between the heart he believes and the lover he leaves But its more for a woman to lose I'm just a discarded wife I'll erase my old life And I'll come back ready to survive
6.	Now I'm Really Alive 04:05	lyrics	buy track
I saw a man who was hanging by a thread Suspended above the water by an edge Hung by himself like a hope against the world He said "I'm gonna fly like a bird through the air If its just another day that I'm not really alive" Spread out his arms like an albatrosses wings A waiting Jesus Christ poised to bear the hammers sting Lent out and peered from the height of his disdain He said "sometimes it isn't enough to be brave If its just another day that I'm not really alive" And I found myself unable to turn away And I found myself eternally In his last moment And before he hit the sea A smile lit his face If its just another day Its just another day But now I'm really alive
7.	Sex with Strangers 04:02	info	buy track
8.	You've Changed 03:36	lyrics	buy track
I can see clearly now I have my eyes open You could get what I want But I will do whatever it takes It could be a lonely climb We could be torn open As we pleed with a silent gun Which one of us standing over You've changed So stay away... um From the lonely places You've changed so much I don't know how You can escape now From the lonely places You've changed so much I can see clearly now I have my heart open You could wear a bold disguise You could get underneith my skin To hide from the wolves outside Who howl in the night when the hunters prey Til I turn it upside down I will do whatever it takes You've changed
9.	The Crowded Shadows 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Take whats yours I'll take what is left by the door If that's anything at all Tiny things that Build and encircle us Until I can't see you anymore We change so we won't hurt anymore But maybe I still want you When the crowded shadows fill up the empty room And whisper to me Be careful where you walk There are strangers up ahead And I cannot understand How I became that man Don't be frightened Of your decision you Made your decision alone Don't be scared If it's broken rebuild it And bind it like broken bones We change so we won't hurt anymore But maybe I still want you When the crowded shadows fill up the empty room And whisper to me Be careful where you walk There are strangers up ahead And I cannot understand How I became that man You caught me off my guard With the dangers up ahead And I cannot understand How I became this man The road is long And gets stranger as it turns But I cannot understand How I became this man We change so we won't hurt anymore But maybe I still want to When the crowded shadows fill up the empty room And whisper to me
10.	Did You Think Our Love Would Hide You 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Did you think our love would hide you From the killers in your head Well I would put myself before you So the fight me instead Did you think our love would hide you From the fear of being found Well I would lay myself before you So the find me on the ground And let them take what they wanted from me Let the take what the wanted from me Did you think our love would hide you Though the darkness fills the day Well I would set myself on fire To light your way And let them take what they wanted from me Let the take what the wanted from me Let the take what the wanted As much as they taunted me Let them take all oh own Scratch the skin from my bones from me Let them cut out my lungs with my heart and my tongue Well I've said all I wanted to say If it gives them a reason to leave in you peace Then I've saved all I wanted to save For me If they leave you be
11.	Technology (Keeping Us Apart) 03:27	lyrics	buy track
I'm afraid that technology Is pushing us farther and farther apart To float like ghosts in the modern world So pull out the cord to my life support And when its gone You're standing all alone With no where left turn And their screaming for your blood Is that why you never run When the danger comes Though you could die, you could die Where are you when I need you here There's a window ledge creeping towards my feet My final cries lost in the city noise In the click clack hum rising above the street Now you're gone I'm standing on my own With no one left to become And they're waiting for my blood Is that why I never run When the danger comes Though I could die, I could die Hey won't let me in Now the world is crumbling What more is there to do But stay alive I'm afraid that technology Is keeping us farther and father apart And I'll won't find my one true love Until I'm old
12.	The Light Keeps Burning Out Too Soon 04:09	lyrics	buy track
It was too late I decided long ago That the lonely room in my heart Would be locked up tight under chain and key Like a secret locked in the dark
13.	Death of Television 03:32	lyrics	buy track
Come on Marlene With the death of TV And the light bulbs burning out We don't know how long this silence is going to last I can hear as you breathe I'm as tall as the trees With a fire burning inside out Who knows when this silence is going to last Like a haze rising up You turn and there it is Like a mountain top You turn and there it is I need to run home run home run home Like a caught up trapeze I'm alive hanging upside down We don't know how long this silence is gonna last I'm begging you please I'm down on my knees Please don't leave me in lost and found When we don't know how long this darkness is gonna last Like a haze rising up You turn and there it is Like a mountain top You turn and there it is I need to run home run home run home
14.	Like Any Other Man 03:25	info	buy track
15.	A Less Traditional Christmas 03:31	lyrics	buy track
The snow that falls on Central Park Lands on every boy and girl From the corners of the town Every land around the world For those of us that celebrate A less traditional Christmas day Wouldn't it be great If everyone was safe Just one day in the year The lights that shine like sequin stars Define the paths for all to see To find their way through darkest night From desert dune to city street For those of us that celebrate A less traditional Christmas day Wouldn't it be great If everyone was safe and sound Without the distance to keep us apart We're closer than we are We're closer than we are And for one day in the year If no one had to fear No matter where they're from Or what they name they're God Or where they find they're love For one day in the year

about

Throughout 2012, I began a songwriting project designed to push my capabilities as a songwriter, producer and musician. In Fronz Arp is a Tiny Crooked Orchestra, I released a song every two weeks, produced in as high a quality as possible on my minimal home studio (mostly based around Protools and a Shure Beta58 microphone) and distributed to Itunes, Amazon, Bandcamp and all good online stores.

about

Fronz Arp Brisbane, Australia

The strange machine which is Fronz Arp grinds like a tattered, angry little hurdy gurdy. With dramatic jaunt and seesawing melodies that have been compared to weird-pop wonders, such as David Bowie and Tom Waits

“...songs full of drama and action, designed to get pulses racing and yet still sounding both intricate and adventurous” Rave Magazine ... more
