Flying Off The HandleI told him that I loved him But he didn’t want to know I said why don’t we hit the road? But he didn’t want to go Maybe I’m too sensitive Though I try to keep my head Flying off the handle Over something that he said Chorus: I’m flying off the handle Saying things that I’ll regret He’s calling it a scandal We’re going head to head Flying off the handle Insults are exchanged Flying off the handle Like we’re on the firing range Verse: I told him I was sorry And that I would make amends He said it’s time for moving on But I hope we’ll still be friends Maybe when we meet again You’ll greet me with a smile But for now let’s cut our losses And not go that extra mile Chorus: We’d be flying off the handle Saying things that we’d regret Calling it a scandal Going head to head Flying off the handle Words would be exchanged Flying off the handle That’s never going to change Bridge: Words that boil and words that freeze Words that bring us to our knees Sticks and stones may take their tole But words can calcify your soul Verse: I told him that I loved him But he didn’t want to know I said why don’t we hit the road? But he didn’t want to go Maybe I’m too sensitive Though I try to keep my head Flying off the handle Over something that he said Chorus: I’m flying off the handle Saying things that I’ll regret Behaving like a vandal Talking blue and seeing red Flying off the handle Insults are exchanged Flying off the handle Like we’re on the firing range

This was a collaboration made in ‘Bluesville’ that secret place where you find things ‘click’ perfect song, lyrics, and singer, but then these three know the way there, they have been there before. Top Notch stuff

Peter/Leon/Janice.....
Well done. Interesting lyric - set to a melody that works well.
Good mix. Nice guitar work throughout. (that's a lot of slide). The solos were really nice... The drums are well done, too...
Super vocal.
A terrific listen.

Peter and Leon,
This is a brilliant composition! Love the guitar work too!
I don't need any singing lessons, but if I did I would surely turn to Janice ;-)
Because once again she's demonstrating her true singing talents here!

Loving the interplay between the electric guitar and bass in the beginning. Real nice vocal, too, Janice puts a lot of character into that delivery! The outro solo is great too, and really ties the whole thing together.

Hello, Peter and Janice and Bud
Very nice and strong start. Guitar is so nice.
Though the chord progressions are likely used in 12/8 time songs, you use them in the 8 beat.
It sounds pleasant and it's something new.
Janice's vocal is great and Bud's mixing is superb.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.

Peter, Janice and Bud,
Another great song and performances all around.
That guitar sound fits beautifully alongside Janice's oh so smooth vocals.
Superb!

Peter, Janice and Bud, you know I love the Blues, so there is little not to like here for me. Excellent guitar, perfect vocal, interesting chord progression, good lyrics and good production. What's not to like. Keeping the blues alive and well on the forum. Bravo! Tom
