Shine 03:36
Silver pine Mulberry wine Met a girl on the Stockton Line Something says it’ll work out fine Get on stage by curtain time and Shine Puff of smoke And a house of cards Pop gun battle in the schoolyard Chalkline pictures in the park Walk the girls home When it gets dark And shine Chorus: We don’t have far to go Don’t have a thing to say And we don’t need to know If this is the day Hope’s not lost, it’s just misplaced It’s only bitter ‘till you get the taste Lightning strikes the same spot twice Once again, wouldn’t it be nice To shine Chorus Bridge: Try to do the things that they say they know can’t be done Out in front don’t have to mean ahead of everyone Things like this don’t last forever What comes next could never be better than this You’ve got your bliss And I’ll get mine It’s time for us to Shine

Hello Pariah 03:20
Hello Pariah I thought you were gone I haven’t looked back at the road that we were on Avalanche Took the whole thing down Sometimes mountains fall to the ground Hello Pariah We meet again But I’m not the same as I was then Cellophane And a pane of glass I see right through you at last Build it tall The farther it will fall Chorus: Too much pressure in the line It’s gonna go if you give it time The meek don’t need to get ready They’re already living in the land of plenty You could try to follow me It might not take you where you want to be The meek don’t need to get ready They’re already living in the land of plenty Hello Pariah Don’t come back around I’m done looking up at the ground

She 03:32
She said this is out of style She’d rather walk a mile In the hard pouring rain Than waste another day in vain He said that’s the way it goes And everybody knows That any plan you make In time you’re gonna break She was better off alone Her heart is like a stone There’s nothing to a sting When you can’t feel a thing He knows everything’s a lie Doesn’t have to wonder why When things fall apart If he knows it from the start Nothing will change Unless you want it to That’s easier done than said Once in a while If you want it to You could come back instead She still standing by the door Why she wasn’t sure But she couldn’t seem to go And she wanted him to know He looked her in the eye He thought he meant goodbye By he couldn’t look away And he wanted her to stay She and he may never be If they can’t get to we Then they will always stay Just an ordinary “they”
4.
Funny how sometimes it feels like I’ve Got my whole life ahead And other times like I’m halfway dead Lay my head down low Can’t lays still my mind Rise up in the morning Afraid of what I’ll find I need a revelation To get me to the end Can’t get out ‘till you’ve been in I can take a straight road Get there fast Freeway cut through a mountain pass But I’ll take the high road And get there slow Cause I don’t really care which way I go But I know I’d like to get there last Funny how sometimes it feels like there’s Nothing left to do And other tines like we’re starting new Line up at the starting gate I show up a minute late It’s already won Fall behind when I’m on the run I can play the game, I can work it out I can swear this is what it’s all about Or I can stand out in the snow like an evergreen Kick up dust and make a scene As long as I don’t go where I’ve been It’s the same game with a different backdrop Taking a new train get off the old stop Like to think it’s changed, but it stays the same Pass a road sign leading to the big time But you can’t see a thing past the tree line Sometimes the best way to go is to Take it slow I can take a straight road and Get there fast Or I can take a high road and Get there last Or I could just stay on the road
5.
Maybe I’m just old fashioned Maybe I spent too much time in Manhattan Maybe I’ve just been on a bender again But everyone I ever knowed Who spent some time on the lonely road Needs a little something Now and then For heartache you should Try whiskey Bourbon’s fine, or rye whiskey Have a drink of my whiskey Its medicine for the soul Take it straight, dress it up In a copper mug or a Dixie Cup Fill a glass and raise it up To a life out of control Chorus Fire Water, bootleg liquor Say a little kick is good for the ticker Hair that good ol’ dog that bit me A little moonshine Back country wine Have a little hit o’ that Tennessee Tea Old time living is the brand new rage Everything gets better with age Even that old trouble’s back in style Living rough and talkin’ slow Drinkin’ hard and fallin’ low Need to get back up once in a while

Off The Plot 03:32
The prize fighter rarely gets the prize Just a bloody mouth and rings around his eyes He doesn’t win, but still he tries Actor in the afterglow, just after the show Still in his character, can’t let it go He can’t tell, but we all know Everything new is gonna grow old Everything hot is gonna get cold More often than not it goes off the plot Darling of the social scene’s got half the battle won She gets the admiration of everyone But her days over, just when it’s begun Everything high is gonna get low Everything fast is gonna get slow More often than not it goes off the plot Blame it on the chemistry, say opposites attract Or maybe one just likes the other’s act Toxic elements interact Everything up is gonna come down Everything green is gonna turn brown More often than not it goes off the plot Everything right is gonna be wrong Everything weak is gonna grow strong More often than not it goes off the plot
7.
Binary Love 04:46
My binary love Is so much more than 0’s and 1’s and 0’s and 1’s You’re the big guns There’s never gonna be another one but you It’s true Ever since I met you, never could let you go And I wanted you to know, so I text you Said there’s never gonna be a next you And I can’t help wonder why I haven’t gotten a reply It’s been two days I don’t know why Maybe this is all a lie Maybe your phone’s dead Forgot to plug it in nest to your bed Or maybe all of this is in my head It don’t feel right I knew it was you right from the start Now you’re breaking my Emoji Heart I asked if you would join me In a chat room Like in that room where we met And I’m still waiting for your reply It’s been three days and I don’t know why Maybe all of this is just a lie You don’t need to be real If this is how you make me feel No, you don’t need to be real If this is how you make me feel Remember when you sent that photograph And I asked if it was you You said it was true, I knew it had to be Look you could see right through to me So I sent one to you Through bits and bytes and satellites I don’t know if it came through I still wait for your reply It’s been eight days and I don’t know why Maybe all of this has been a lie

Early in summer, when tide was low Down by the harbor you could see the glow Bonfire light up the Guernsey sand See them coming across the land To pass the night in the light of the silver moon And the public hall in the center of town Was ringing its bell, you could hear the sound Over talk in the kitchens, off the black rock walls To the deep pools under St. Benedict Falls Where the faithful come to wash their sins away One is for greed. Another for fear Shaking a stick at the cavalier Salt for protection, there’s love in the wine All through the night, dancing with the divine Dark they play, ‘till morning calls them away Night born shadows pass up from the shore Through town search for an open door A stone in the gable, the windows are sealed Doors held closed with rocks from the field To keep them all from coming in to dwell Nothing is as scary as what you don’t know And it will grow Some say it’s better to join them than fear Shake a stick at the cavalier Salt for protection and love in the wine All through the night dancing with the divine Sway in the night till the morning calls you away
9.
I never saw it coming Somehow I let it get away It may have turned out better If I could have stayed I hope you know I never planned to go It just turned out that Way I never saw it coming And new it seems I missed the ball Broke when I was gone Now all the pieces fall There’s nothing I can do But see it through ‘Cause somehow I missed the ball Just ‘cause I’m not there Don’t mean I don’t care Just ‘cause I’m away Don’t mean I don’t want to stay No I never saw it coming Never knew I could get so low There’s much more to this Than what you know Maybe one day you’ll see Who I tried to be Maybe one day you’ll know Chorus One day you may come find me Somewhere down the line We can leave all this troubled time behind When you get through, I’ll be there too Come find me somewhere down the line When you get through, I’ll be there too Come find me down the line
10.
Brother you ain’t a thing like me Fruit from a different tree Don’t know how it can be That we turned out so differently You say: You can’t let ‘em say a thing like that You can’t let ‘em do a thing like that You can’t let ‘em write a thing like that You can’t let ‘em think like that ‘Cause if they think like that They’re going to go like that And if they go like that They’re going to act like that And if they act like that They’re gonna think like that So it’s up to us to Put a stop to that A bitter crop will grow If it’s bitter seeds you sow But you already know Your bitter garden Row after bitter row You say: You can’t let ‘em dress the way they do You can’t ignore they way they look at you They don’t think his words are true So you know what you’ve got to do ‘Cause if they think that way They’re gonna go that way And if they go that way They’re gonna act that way And if they act that way They’re gonna have to pay ‘Cause that’s not the way I say Chorus: Well what if you’re wrong? What if it’s not the way you say? What if you’re wrong? Will you still say it anyway? Can’t take back What you’ve done today Verse 3: You can’t let ‘em think they’re right If they think they can, they might Can’t let ‘em sleep at night Can’t let ‘em go without a fight ‘Cause if they think they’re right They’re gonna say they’re right And if they say they’re right They’ll think they could be right And if they could be right They’ll think they should be right So you can’t let ‘em think they’re right

about

Hello Pariah is the 2nd album by Las Vegas-based Indie-Americana band Tin Toy Cars, fronted by singing mandolin player Peter Fand. Fand is a 7-year veteran of Cirque du Soleil, where he met drummer Aaron Guidry and Violinist Martin St-Pierre. Rounding out the lineup with Andrew Chute on guitar, and several other local heavy-hitters as guest performers, they are a mainstay of the Downtown Las Vegas music scene.

With “Hello Pariah,” Tin Toy Cars channels a myriad of stylistic elements into a cohesive 10-song collection, demonstrating the range of the mandolin, and the depth of Fand’s talents as a songwriter. The title track is a rousing rocker that talks about repeatedly encountering your own personal demons, as you move along on your path. Lamenting yet hopeful, Fand sings: “Cellophane, and a pain of glass, I see right through you at last,” and then, with a rousing cry: “The meek don’t need to get ready. They’re already living in the land of plenty!”

“Off The Plot” is a showcase of contrasts. It bounces back and forth between Baroque-style string arrangements in the verses, but then drops like dynamite on the chorus’, with a four-on-the floor groove that is irresistible.

Hello Pariah is a tremendous second effort from this unique band, and as Fand sings in the leadoff song, “Lightning strikes the same spot twice, once again, wouldn’t it be nice to Shine.”
