Burnin' Bridges by Slaughter
SONG-Burnin' Bridges

ALBUM-Stick It To Ya

ALBUM-Stick It To Ya
YEAR-1989
If you are goin' to be burnin' bridges, you might as well have the lyrics, "liar, liar, with your pants on fire." This song is one of my favorites. Slaughter doesn't hold back telling all those silly "prissy" prissies that it's time to get on with their lives. Hit me while the flame is hot, why doncha?

All Fired Up by Slaughter

ALBUM-Back to Reality
YEAR-1999
"Got my motor runnin'." Heavy hitting, just like most of the songs on the Back to Reality album. Love how Mark Slaughter adds that extra "a" on his words. "Burn-a." There is some very innovative guitar playing on this track using futuristic-sounding riffs. "Burn-a!"
Songwriter-Mark Slaughter, Dana Strum, Blas Elias, Jeff Blando

Throwback to the gentle 70s, this love anthem sings to the heart of someone's everything. There's a flavor of The Eagles, "Tequila Sunrise" when Mark Slaughter sings, "Every night when the Sun goes down, all I want is to be around you," makes me want to sing, "Every night when the Sun goes down, just another lonely boy in town."

"You are the one, the one I need to make my dreams come true. Oh, you should know, I love you so."
Slaughter is really good at singing love ballads, even when I'm thinking of a different song every time I hear, "You Are the One."
Compare Lionel Richie's "You Are." "You are the sun, you are the rain, that makes my life this foolish game. You need to know I love you so."
