Dangerous World: Slices from the Heart of Modern Life

At 50, Jim Inscore set out to do the one thing he's always wanted to do: write and record some great, gritty, urgent, urban, folk-rockin, guitar-driven songs. Hooking up with Bonnie Hayes (singer/songwriter extraordinaire with songs like "Shelley's Boyfriend" & "Girls Like Me" from her 80's band Wild Combo, and "Have a Heart" & "Love Letter" on Bonnie Raitt's platinum "Nick of Time"), In his first CD, Dangerous World, Inscore delivers six songs that slice straight through mid-life love & loss joy & rage...

Rage

Hurl yourself into this world
Rage, rage, rage
Keep your fighting flags unfurled
Rage, rage, rage

Rage On...

We won't take this laying down
Rage, rage, rage
Keep on standing, stand our ground
Rage, rage, rage

Rage On...

We can forget time
But time won't forget us
We can act our age
But age won't get us
What rage can get us

Unfiltered Camel

Bare bulb, Bare floor
Empty cupboard, empty drawer
Black coffee
Unfiltered Camel
Shot of Jack Daniels
Straight from the bottle
No better way
To start another day

Torn up letter, torn apart
Broken window, broken heart
Black coffee
Unfiltered Camel
Shot of Jack Daniels
Straight from the bottle
No better way
To end another day

Unfiltered Camel
I smoke unfiltered Camel
Hot and harsh and
Always leavin me wantin one more
Straight from the bottle
I drink it straight from the bottle
No better way
To make another day
No better way
To make it one more day

Dangerous World

Danger on the left
Danger on the right
Danger in what's left of the night
Danger over there
Danger everywhere
Danger at the top of the stair

And I know people all say
Dangerous world we're livin today
And I know people all say
Dangerous world we're livin in

Danger in your shoes
Danger in the news
Danger in the words that you use
Danger in your socks
Danger under rocks
Danger's at the door when it knocks

And I know people all say
Dangerous world we're livin today
And I know people all say
Dangerous world we're livin in

Danger in letters
Safety in numbers
These days the numbers
Are not adding up &
Dangers just keep multiplying &
Why? Nevermind

Safety in friends
Danger in strangers
These days the strangers
Are looking more dangerous
And friends are so much
Harder to find

Danger in the sky
Danger in your eye
Danger if you ask yourself why

Danger in the ground
Danger all around
Dangers there we just haven't found

And I know some people say
It's a dangerous world, just blow 'm away
And I know my people say
It's a dangerous world
When you make it that way

Love In A Dumpster

You dream in green and blue
You dream of her and you
You dream in black and white
You dream her every night
You dream in blue and grey
You dream her everyday
You dream in pink and tan
You dream that you're her man

Sleepin like a king
in your king size matress box all night
Looking like a queen walking in your dream
Gonna make you feel all right

You'll go out tonight
Do some walking
Do some talking
Taking it kind of slow
Holdin hands in the alley
Makin out in a doorway
Makin love in a dumpster
Love in a dumpster
Love, Love

Sleepin like the royal
Under tin foil
Roof over your head
Two could live cheaper
But you can't keep her
She could still wind up dead

On her feet instead
On the corner
Set out to warn her
Take it out to the street
Shoutin out in the alley
Peekin into a doorway
Look for love in a dumpster
Love in a dumpster
Love, Love

Tired of all the rags and rust
Dirt and dust and shards and tatters
Tryin to find someone to trust
Someone who matters, someone who matters

Findin her at last neath an underpass
Not that far to go
Now you go and nestle underneath a trestle
Just like bein home
No more nights alone on a steam vent
Sleepin in a cheap tent, got a place to be

Holdin hands in the alley
Makin out in a doorway
Makin love in a dumpster
Love in a dumpster
Love, love

You dream in green and blue
She dreams of her and you
You dream in black and white
She dreams you every night
You dream in in blue and grey
She dreams you everyday
You dream in in pink and tan
She dreams that you're her man

Stop Sign

I was drivin down the road
Feelin bad bad bad
Tryin to go much faster
Just to catch up to the pace
I was talkin to myself
Gettin mad mad mad
Tryin to get much further
In this all too human race

Any road you may travel
Paved or dirt or gravel
Where do you go when things unravel now?

Drivin down the broad straight highway
Pushin hard and fast the whole day
Round those narrow mountain curves
You can swerve swerve swerve
You can drift or you can gun it
But there's no way you can run it
There's no way you can run
The stop sign at the end of life


I was thinkin about takin
A long vacation
Hopin to see the nation
Before it all blows away
Lookin for a way to flip my situation
Cause my froze imagination
Gettin colder every day

Any road you may travel
Paved or dirt or gravel
Where do you go when things unravel now?

Speed through it, tailpipes rumblin
Creep through it, mumblin & grumblin
Crash head on into a wall
You can crawl crawl crawl
You can drift or you can gun it
But there's no way you can run it
There's no way you can run
The stop sign at the end of life

Drivin down the road
Sad so sad
Thinkin about nothin but just
Tryin to get away
Talkin to myself
Gettin madder & madder
Drivin to destruction
Just like every other day

Anyway you try to brave it
No way you can save it
Foot on the gas, foot in the grave right now

Drive all night and into morning
Ignore every sign & warning
Crossin lines & crashin borders
Jumpin signals, dissin orders
You can spit em in the eye
You can fly fly fly
You can drift or you can gun it
But there's no way you can run it
There's no way you can run
The stop sign at the end of life

I See A Girl

A certain look, a certain light &
Suddenly you smile so bright
And something strange comes over me
I can't believe just what I see 'Cause ...

I see a girl, I see a girl
See a girl with your face, your eyes,
See a girl and she surprises me
Something in me wants her to be true
That I see a girl when I look at you

I love you now, I loved you then
I just can't remember when
We met, or where or why or how
But I don't care cause I see you now
And ...

I see a girl, I see a girl
See a girl with your face, your eyes,
See a girl and she surprises me
Something in me wants her to be true
That I see a girl when I look at you

None of those ladies
In their Mercedes
Drive me in circles
Like you do
Those other women
Can't get me swimmin
But I'd dive into the
Deep end with you

It could be you, it might be me
I see what I want & want what I see
If time stood still or time rewound
I'd hate to lose what I just found
'Cause ...

I see a girl, I see a girl
See a girl with your face, your eyes,
See a girl and she surprises me
The boy in me wants her to be true
That I see a girl when I look at you
