I have very humble roots, Roaming, hunting in the woods Neither royal blood nor mutt Five other siblings I have got A Grey Wolf, I’ve got it down Never bowed to anyone My friends and enemies all knew I’d maul their throats if I had to. o-o o o-o By now I should be dead, perhaps: Hunters’ bullets, bear traps Captured, beaten, starved and caged I’d bite the chain and fight with rage A proud Gray Wolf can not be tamed Even if he’s badly maimed Feeding me will do no good Freedom’s sweeter than the food o-o o o-o But one day it all had changed My brothers thought I was deranged Door opened and I walked inside Then I forgot my foolish pride Now at your feet, your silent slave Your attention’s all I crave I’ll climb for you a mountain steep I’ll fetch you pearls from ocean’s deep I’ll entertain, I’ll keep you warm I’ll find a shelter for a storm Guard the house when you’re asleep Do your bidding with no peep I’ll quench your thirst in times of drought Twice a day we will go out My friends would think I am a loon When I’m howling at the moon o-o o o-o A Gray Wolf’s life is pretty swift Each moment with you is a gift I can’t say much, I simply growl But don’t you see, I’m crying foul When I see that bridal wreath I bite my tongue and grind my teeth I can’t live with all this dread Just put a bullet through my head He won’t love you like I do o-o o o-o

SING TO ME! (MY LITTLE STAR) C Verse 1 C A tin cup and this old guitar... F7 I'm singing love songs in the bar. C For a small donation or a beer F7 I'll do requests. A ballad, dear? Am Thank you, sweetheart! Here we go. G A song I wrote long time ago... Verse 2 C There was a girl, she loved to sing... F7 Sweet voice, dark eyes - a gorgeous thing! C Late summer was when we first met F7 Those August days I can't forget... Am She had a band, played rhythm guitar G And I was calling her "My Star" Refrain F Like a lighthouse that brings sailors home G You shine for me through darkest storm. Am G Why do you have to be so far? F G Sing to me, my little star! C C Verse 3 C She made a record, went on tour, F7 Big star of music and glamour; C Smiling from the covers of fancy magazines F7 Sun glasses, hats and limousines... Am I followed her across the sea F G So scared she won't remember me... Bridge F Am Have I become a speck of dust F G Lost in the universe of past? Refrain F Like a lighthouse that brings sailors home G You shine for me through darkest storm. Am G Why do you have to be so far? F G Sing to me, my little star! C C Verse 4 C The sun has sunk, I'm heading West F7 I've got to get things off my chest. C Pushing the road beneath my feet F7 I'm spinning Earth until we meet. Am Why do I yearn for your cold light? G Why do you only shine at night? Refrain F Like a lighthouse that brings sailors home G You shine for me through darkest storm. Am G Why do you have to be so far? F G Sing to me, my little star! Am G C

I've been around, on this planet Earth. So many years since the winter of my birth! And I know, because I've been in love before It's all a lie - I don't believe it anymore! I'm burned and bruised, and I learned my lesson well: "Don't give in, when they cast their spells. Don't you believe any promises they make By now you know, all their words are fake". Try your best! Do your worst! I met a girl, she wore a long black dress I asked her out, she smiled and told me, "yes" Before too long, it felt like we'll never be apart A dream come true.... but then she stabbed me in the heart Try your best! Do your worst! What did we do to bring the end to perfect life The looks were cold like steel blade of a knife The words were sharp, and every touch was shun, And the silence was like a loaded gun Try your best! Do your worst! What can you do, when life falls apart like that? Sailed around the world to drown my memories and regrets Met many girls - blonde, skinny, dark, tall and small I promise you, no chick is gonna make me crawl I won't be fooled! Call it "experience", I guess Some people call it "a measure of success" I can read your mind, and I know all your dirty tricks I can see you through, I wrote a book on your antics. Try your best! Do your worst! And every time I see two lovers holding hands It makes me laugh when they are making silly plans 'Cause they don't know, what they will get themselves into Just an illusion that's only gonna make you blue Try your best! Do your worst! Life is so short, another winter is passing by I still remember, still play the blues.. and even cry I only fooled myself, and I came to this breakthrough Because, baby, I still love you!

Femme Fatale 03:04
FEMME FATALE I clearly remember, as if it happened last night Her yellow Maserati at the traffic light V8 engine, 20" wheels Have your seen her tall boots on high heels?! Alligator handbag and really tight jeans Oh what foxy lady! You know what I mean! Dressed for success and looking real good I tried to look away, it's understood --- The man is the hunter, he stands his ground But I knew I was lost, never to be found She waved at me and smiled, believe it, pal! She was a trigger-happy femme fatale --- I couldn't see the devil in her eyes of green The most amazing curves that I had ever seen She promised me the heaven, she promised thick and thin The angel in my hands, but nothing was as it seemed My friends kept telling me, "You better beware", Treachery and treason were more than I could bare "You're working your skin off like a galley slave, She'll stab you in the back and dance on your grave." --- Three long years of bringing breakfast to the bed Necklaces and diamonds, I gave her everything I had But then I realized that I was waiting in vain Like a bird in a cage, like a wolf on a chain I wanted to be happy, she was making me blue Playing with my heart was all that she would do When I wanted to fly, she was bringing me down But today I decided to turn tables around Gonna clean my rifle, pack my traveling things I had enough of her lies, of her poisonous stings Gonna leave this house, gonna be a man! Now the fox-hunting season is open again! --- So watch me walk away, I'll take no more abuse It's her time to cry, her time for singing the blues She won't make me stay, she won't make me crawl From this day I'll be playing Rock And Roll!

about

Maxim Senin Long Beach, California

Maxim Senin’s preference in music is laid-back rock and a touch of folk with an emphasis on his lyrical composition. Love, love triangles, betrayal and unanswered love looms over and is easily detected in his sound. His songs are reflective, with a twist and plot in the story line, and that have hope and humor in them. Lyrics are honest. He tends to start songs with rhythm guitar and build on it. ... more
