Thugs and Kisses You tell me that you love me You tell me that you care But if you really did you'd be a little more aware Our love is dangerous like Romeo and Juliet If I love you back might be a knife in my back Thugs and Kisses -Thugs and Kisses Thugs and Kisses -Thugs and Kisses Your dad's a Mussolini your brother is a punk Your mother curses like a sailor and she's always drunk You might have all this money but money don't buy class The only thing it buys a bullet in my ass and Thugs and Kisses -Thugs and Kisses Thugs and Kisses -Thugs and Kisses You tell me that you wanna be my Valentine You bought a box of chocolates and a case of vintage wine I opened up the card I read what you had signed Sealed with a bloody kiss that said be mine

Ain't Pretty No More Pretty Boy Floyd, walked in the moonlight Paranoid Loyd told him to scram Acid Dough Ray me and Fasso had latte Over heard him say you're a dead man That Pretty Boy Floyd supposed to take a dive When he fought the Android Now he ain't pretty no more Well he ain't pretty no more No ain't pretty no more Yes ain't pretty no more Mistletoe Pete hid in the alley Jimmy Dead Beat came out of a car Hey Pretty Boy Floyd you ain't winning this fight We brought the Android and it's no holds barred. Pretty Boy Floyd put up a real good fight But he couldn't beat the Android Now he ain't pretty no more Well he ain't pretty no more No he ain't pretty no more Yes he ain't pretty no more

Unknown Felon Nobody knows who you are Nobody cares about you You'll die living a life of crime You'll die a sad and lonely fool You're like a thorn in the ass A thorn in the ass of society Object of scorn you're not even that Cause you'll never ever have notoriety You can't even be infamous You're someone nobody would miss You're just an unknown felon Nobody cares if you live or die You're an unknown felon Nobody cares if you're dead or alive You're an unknown felon Nobody cares if you live or die You're an unknown felon You live for yourself and no one else So no one else will ever care about you That's the choice you made with your free will Now you're locked up there's nothing you can do

No Way to Live You know that you'll be back here Three weeks cause you can't steer clear From all the trouble makers Don't do you any favors it's No way to live It's no way to live It's no way to live Back in jail someone's boy toy Rack your brain with a new ploy You're like some helpless spider Can't weave a web for tigers You can't live that way, you're gonna die that way You need some other way to live

Pay My Respects Sitting in a back room gonna see the bride and groom Here to say my last goodbye Married on a Monday buried on a Thursday Everyone is gonna cry Their names were Marybeth and Harry They loved each other 'till the end of time It's a pity she's so pretty lying in her coffin while I Pay my respects , gonna pay my respects Pay my respects, gonna pay my respects They had a fairytale wedding everyone was betting They'll never leave each other's side Then on Valentine's Day their Honeymoon went astray On their wedding day they died

Death of the Party They were having fun then you came by Like a dark cloud hanging round a sunny sky A party full of life soon would die Laughing turned to tears you made them cry Everybody was happy drinking, singing songs Everything was going right and then you made it wrong You came in with your friends people stepped aside When you showed up the party died Everyone was having the time of their lives Everyone was just happy to be alive Nobody expected such a nasty surprise When the death of the party arrived You're like the Grim Reaper of happiness Why do you prefer to cause others distress? Everybody was having such a grand old time Until you showed up and the party died Everyone was having the time of their lives Everyone was just happy to be alive Nobody expected such a nasty surprise When the death of the party arrived

Recipe for Disaster One cup of fear one cup of hate One cup of anger to be on your plate One cup of scorn with a pinch of pain A half a cup of anything that's insane One cup of greed, a cup of no shame A tablespoon of arrogance a tablespoon of fame One cup of blood, sweat and tears A cup of all the rage you kept inside for years That's a recipe for disaster, it's a recipe, it's a recipe It's a recipe for disaster, it's a recipe, it's a recipe It's a recipe for disaster, it's a recipe, it's a recipe One cup of pride with no dignity Add a little jealousy and vanity A half a cup of guilt with a little bit of shame If you're feeling power hungry add some blame

Dina and I had to run out of Brooklyn We thought we could hide until the very next day Tony and his goon friends found us he said "you're gonna die Any last words punk ass?" I said "I love, love, love her to death I love, love, love her to death I love, love, love her to death Baby I'm dying for your love"

Deal With Death In the game of life everyone dies When it's your time then it's your time No matter what life we lead Rich or poor we all have to deal You gotta take the cards whatever cards you're dealt What's in the cards are in the stars as well You gotta deal with death, deal with death In the game of life you gotta deal with death You gotta deal with death, deal with death In the game of life you gotta deal with death Some people laugh, some people cry Some people learn to cope, some people lie Death never discriminates Race, creed, color, sex or age You gotta take the cards whatever cards you're dealt What's in the cards are in the stars as well You gotta deal with death, deal with death In the game of life you gotta deal with death You gotta deal with death, deal with death In the game of life you gotta deal with death You gotta live 'till you die You gotta learn to say goodbye To the ones that you love, hope to see on the other side

They have seen a lot of horror and have come back to tell you about it. Recipe for Disaster is a collection of songs Johnny Andriani wrote channeling one of his many personas named Johnny Incarnation. His earthly and other selves' have experienced a lot of death and horror but still believe that there's beauty in life. Like an old film projector lighting up a dark room with images of life flashing before your eyes, Recipe for Disaster lets you peer into a world of death and tragedy with a side dish of life and comedy.
