Greetings. It's a pleasure. Sorry about the poor quality and unprofessionality of the recordings and the performances on the recordings. I don't consider these the best I can do by any means, so I hope you won't judge me too harshly. These are pretty much just the takes I got right after writing the songs, recorded hastily so I could move on to something else. I've been trying to write as many songs as possible over the past months. I just wanted to get the ideas out there in the hopes that somebody would like to hear them. I promise I'll do better someday and maybe you'll like to hear those. Please tell me if there's a song here that you'd like to hear a better take of, because that would give me a chance to focus on one. Feel free to tell me I suck, too. I have a fan from Minnesota that keeps me going. No idea who it is.

Lyrics
Frank the Foreigner built himself a boat but nobody knows where he learned it pulled himself out just as fast as he could row and when he got to the island he burned it before he left he'd told the locals his plan to catch the next ship on the sea he'd brought his guitar and his biggest jar of change just in case they charged him a fee but the boat never came everything stayed the same the same the boat never came all his friends in his head said that it was a shame frank the foreigner had mistakenly thought the ships would come by like a parade but the day before the dictator swore in church and it started the big blockade oh the boat never came everything stayed the same the same the boat never came all his friends in his head said that it was a shame poor frank the foreigner all the wanted was to start a new life under sail on the sea you know the locals try to save him on a regular basis but he swears there's only one way he'll leave the boat never came everything stayed the same the same the boat never came all his friends in his head said that it was a shame the sand it sifts and it get into his pans but it never turns to gold the day he started out he was very much younger he woke up one day and was old the boat never came everything stayed the same the same the boat never came all his friends in his head said that it was a shame Now Frank the Foreigner Walks around his island wondering where could it be? He came here for freedom but now it's like a prison where nobody's got any keys the boat never came everything stayed the same the same the boat never came all his friends in his head said that it was a shame
