"I'm back" acknowledges Peter Frampton in the song of the same name from his first studio album in nine years. But even though Frampton claims he had complete control over every aspect of this release, the results show that maybe a good A&R person should have been hired for consultation. While this is undoubtedly a Frampton disc, complete with strummy ballads, a handful of harder-edged tunes, and lots of shimmering guitar solos, songs like the riff rocker "I'm Back" -- that sports puerile lyrics such as "I'm back, like Schwarzenegger in Terminator, I'm back like a boomerang" - could use some tinkering. Otherwise, little has changed over the decades since Frampton's superstar days. He can still write a pretty Beatles-esque ballad like this disc's charming "Above it All." However, the sap factor is far too high on the tune to his daughter "Mia Rose," a track that should have stayed as a personal lullaby and not something he needs to subject the rest of us to. Keyboardist Bob Mayo - from the Frampton Comes Alive band - has stuck in there; but the guitarist co-writes the majority of these cuts with Nashville pro Gordon Kennedy, who also adds backing vocals. There's nothing wrong with shuffling pop-rockers like "Flying Without Wings," or the opening "Verge of a Thing," except Frampton tries too hard to rock out, and barely manages to navigate his way through increasingly clumsy lyrics. Far better are the numerous ballads and the Jeff Beck/Blow By Blow-styled jazz-rock instrumental "Greens," which showcases Frampton's beautifully incisive quicksilver guitar. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," the album's only cover, is a by-the-numbers but heartfelt tribute to George Harrison, highlighted by a powerful solo. Now is a middling return to form, with peaks, valleys and enough sparks to show that Peter Frampton remains a vibrant artist who might have some better albums in him.

Verge of a Thing

I'm as wired as a dead man walking
To the edge of a precipice
You look at me, wanna hear me talking
But oh, as hard as I try there's no explaining this

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing

I think in English but my blood is Russian
Chasing it down with adrenaline
I look at you and I see you blushing
Appearing now in my wildest dreams

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing

Do we really feel like we do?

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing


Flying Without Wings

Flying Without Wings - Westlife

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lovers eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you find that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You find it in the works of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Well for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sun rise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
At any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
'Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

You're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings


Love Stands Alone

Verse 1
cant find no shelter
comin out of the pain
hurt my self bleeding
against the drain
see this deep risin
out of the home
must be the exits
the one in my soul

(Chorus)
doesnt matter
doesnt matter to her
doesnt matter
if i had her i would give her the world
doesnt matter
love stands alone
love stands alone
doesnt matter no

Verse 2
once i was captured
by the fire in her eyes
now when i look i see the white of her lies
my spirit is leaving
i see her light
it can be heaven with her still inside

*Chorus*

(Ending verse)
doesnt matter
doesnt matter to her
doesnt matter
if i had her (if i had her)
i would give her the world
doesnt matter
love stands alone
love stands alone
love stands alone
love stands alone
doesnt matter no
doesnt matter (doesnt matter)
doesnt matter to her (love stands alone)
doesnt matter
love stands alone
if i had her (if i had her)
i would give her the world (love stands alone)
doesnt matter
doesnt matter no...


Not Forgotten

Instrumental


Hour of Need

I dont wanna live my life in chains
Feel these voices roaming in my brain
All they do is dig a deeper hole
Deep enough to hold my tortured soul

(Chorus)
Hear come the demons
as far as i can see
Runnin and screamin
Chasing after me
maybe im dreaming
but i know i wont be free till..
Rider and horse drown in the sea
Rider and horse drown in the sea

There aint nothing for me down these tracks
but an ugly monkey on my back
I need an angel like i need a face
Somethings a hit me like a ton of bricks

*Chorus*
*Chorus*


Mia Rose

i love to hear you talk
i love the things you say
i love to hear you speak - my name
i love to spend my time
holding your hand in my mine
watching the world go by
through the wonder of your eyes

there's a secret in your soul - mia
how i love to watch you grow - mia
like a flower you unfold - mia
beautiful mia, beautiful mia

don't ever be afraid
you have a gentle heart
you're safe because you're loved - so much
you never come too hard
you never have to cry
i hold you in my arms
and sing a lullaby

there's a secret in your soul - mia
how i love to watch you grow - mia
like a flower you unfold - mia
beautiful mia, beautiful mia

you are my angel
heaven knows - mia rose

there's a secret in your soul - mia
how i love to watch you grow - mia
like a flower you unfold - mia
beautiful mia, beautiful mia

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I look at you all,
see the love there that's sleeping,
while my guitar gently weeps
I look, at the floor,
and I see it needs sweeping,
still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why, nobody told you, how to unfold your love
I don't know how, someone controlled you, they bought and sold you
I look, at the world, and I notice it's turning,
while my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake, we must surely be learning,
still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how, you were diverted,
you were perverted, too. I don't know how, you were inverted,
no one alerted you
I look at you all,
see the love there that's sleeping,
while my guitar gently weeps. Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps
