LIKE YOU’LL NEVER KNOW She came from Oklahoma and I hardly even know her A stranger that I knew so well She could have been a reverie, she could have been a remedy As far as I can tell She opened my eyes She entered my mind She covered my soul She fed me the lines Hook, verse and rhyme That’s my rock-n-roll I’m thinking of making sweet love, like you’ll never know She came from Johnson City, she was Mason-Dixie pretty I got cornered by her moonshine spell You’ll get some satisfaction with a little rebel action when you’re rung by a southern belle She opened my eyes She entered my mind She covered my soul She fed me the lines Hook, verse and rhyme That’s my rock-n-roll I’m thinking of making sweet love, like you’ll never know She’s my brown sugar mama who makes me jump and holler ‘though her come-ons make it hard to tell I rolled lucky seven and she pushed me into heaven but I only got stuck in hell She opened my eyes She entered my mind She covered my soul She fed me the lines Hook, verse and rhyme That’s my rock-n-roll I’m thinking of making sweet love, like you’ll never know

Patria 03:25
PATRIA words & music by Kenny Sandler Deep down inside Is a feeling to hide, but I just can’t resist That feeling is love And the stars all above shining right through the mist, Dig it! Sometimes it’s hard To play the part of an old yearning fool It’s stronger than I And I realize that I’m burning for you If I could read your mind instead Maybe then I’d understand, Patria! Patria! And all I want is openness A gentle hug and a lashing kiss In slumber I lay And I dream of the days that I’m spending with you My head’s in a fog So I sit on a log, pretending it’s true If I seem to lose my mind Please make sure I don’t fall behind, Patria! Patria! All I want is openness A gentle hug and a lashing kiss

DREAMING OF YOU AGAIN Words & Music by Kenny Sandler You can’t unknown the known and you can’t undo the done I read your final walk out note and a love likes ours is done I know that I’m a dreamer and a love like ours can’t mend So, I sit up in my bed once more and dream of you again You can’t unsee the seen, and you can’t un-feel the touch And don’t you know pretty baby, that your love meant all that much I know it’s a losing battle, yet my love I still defend So I sit up in my bed once more and dream of you again Tears on my pillow, a hole in the sheet A stain on the blanket, reminders of you and me I stare at the ceiling, I crawl on the floor I’m sifting through wreckage, a survivor of nothing more You can’t unhear the heard, and you can’t give life to dead The memories of you are haunting me like a creature feature matinee I know that I’m a dreamer, and a love like ours can’t end So, I’ll sit up in my bed once more and dream of you again

NO USE CRYING Words & Music by: Kenny Sandler WE had a love some time ago The kind of love few people know You had that inner light Those bedroom days and basement nights- with you- were some of the best times of my life MY memories of you are short and sweet I remember when you swept me off my feet That moment we realized Love had taken us by surprise You said “we’re kindred souls for life, love always” I want to tell you, but my mind cannot speak I want to hold you, but my arms are too weak And though you’re not to blame, it’s plain as it can be There’s no use crying over me We had the good, we had a spark Making love in Harriman Park I remember your smile so wry The moonlight twinkling in your crescent eyes We held each other, we laughed we cried, love always And one day you left without a trace No letter nor picture of your face Do you still believe somewhere in your memories Of those kindred souls of you and me, love always I want to tell you, but my mind cannot speak I want to hold you, but my arms are too weak And though you’re not to blame, it’s plain as it can be There’s no use crying over me Love notes and poetry Rendezvous and repartee Darling, you still inspire me So there’s no final curtain call It’s just the space and distance between us all And we’ll be so content, satisfied to our very ends That the love we earned, was the love we spent, love always- Hey!

LIPSTICK ON A CIGARETTE Words & Music by: Kenny Sandler Lipstick on her cigarette, that’s all my baby left behind Lipstick on her cigarette, that’s all my baby left behind Ashes are sweet memories, and the smoke it blows my mind Lipstick on her cigarette, cherry red burning slow Lipstick on her cigarette, cherry red burning slow I’ve got no place I got to be, so I’ll watch that ember glow She come and she gone and she did me no harm And the loving was mighty fine She can hurt me and use me and make me feel cheap I’ll do it anytime She gave me the stars and some permanent scars How can I forget? When she shook those hips and wrapped her lipsaround that cigarette – take a drag off me baby! Lipstick on her cigarette, see the flame flicker out Lipstick on her cigarette, see the flame flicker out Time to stoke the fire, strike my match and blow me out She come and she gone and she did me no harm And the loving was mighty fine She can hurt me and use me and make me feel cheap I’ll do it anytime She gave me the stars and some permanent scars How can I forget? When she shook those hips and wrapped her lips around my cigarette – take a drag off me baby! Take a drag off me baby Lipstick on her cigarette, that’s all my baby left behind

about

Artist: The Deep Drags
Album: Back From Extinction
Label: Independent
Release date: 05/07/2021
For fans of: The Kinks, Johnny Thunders, Squeeze, The Buzzcocks,

For nearly 40 years, the band name The Deep Drags represented Kenny Sandler’s hidden rock ‘n’ roll aspirations. Too uncertain to share his music, Sandler hid his songs in the shadows of his daydreams. But in 2021, Sandler rejuvenated his musical passion recording his debut EP, Back From Extinction, bringing his music back to life to be played and heard for the very first time. Under the project band name The Deep Drags, Back From Extinction’s six tracks emerge as an electric kaleidoscope of 20th century rock music with heart, heat and trippy vibes. From British Invasion harmonies to CBGB’s garage rock grit, The Deep Drags will appeal to fans of The Kinks/Stones/Beatles, New York Dolls, and Squeeze.
Four decades in the making, this one time rock-n-roll fantasy is now a waking-life offering of guitar heroics and contagious choruses. Sandler, the lead singer, was assisted in the studio by a collective of musical dynamos ready to bring his songs to life. His cousin Darro Sandler was the percussive backbone of the record on drums, while guitarist Ray Riso was another influential force who helped shape and record the songs. Additionally, Jacob Sandler contributed keyboards/backup vocals, and guitarist Jeff Weisz, (Love Run Deep) helped produce the demos. It has been worth the wait, and the future is bright enough to wear indoor shades. Press play and get ready for sonic inhalation with The Deep Drags.
