TOMBSTONE NJ

The band WAS (RIP) guitarist George Barker, bassist Ray Lehner, Mike Gelbke on drums, Joel Pirard keys. Later Scott Pittman, (RIP) Bass.

JOEL PIRARD: I was in a band named ORION that broke up in 1981. George Barker was in a band called Topeka that broke up around the same time. We formed TOMBSTONE. I have adapted the stuff we wrote together and 2 he wrote in a TOPEKA and completed all the songs in a home studio. Some are simple, some are a bit more intense. Many speak to simple love and broken hearts. . So with your kind indulgence, here are songs I was able to re-record from a terrible source tape. In some cases I had to rewrite lyrics from his buried vocals! Warts and all this is ALL ME.

Story behind the song

The only thing to survive was a section of the song, that gave me a clue as to the main theme. and the title.

Lyrics

Its better left unsaid

So you think you can fly to the ends of the earth, 
reaching out to the sky, to the lands of my birth.

You're just grabbing at the air and your old worn-out dreams.
You cannot deny, life is not what it seems.
Though you build up your walls, they're just castles in the sand,
And the rest is better, better left unsaid.

Oh you've got what it takes, to decide your fate,
if you only begin before its too late.
So show us your stuff, what you're really made of, 
and don't try to act cool, cause you're nobody's fool.
If you don't make it right, you'll be all alone tonight, 
and the rest is better left unsaid.

(instrumental break)

So the thing you should do is to tell the truth.
Its the one thing youve got so go on, give it a shot.
If you're true to yourself you will feel more alive.
So get up on your feet, this ain't no free ride,
and the rest is better left unsaid

This lonely refrain won't cause anyone pain, 
and we won't have to say, it was better, better left unsaid, 
better left unsaid.
