C-90 is a collection of songs whose melodies, chord sequences and, in some cases, arrangements, Dave Egan recorded onto cassette tapes, mainly C-90s, back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s or, to put it another way, Circa - 1990. This was done either by way of bouncing from one cassette recorder to another or, later, using a four track recorder. On reflection, the original lyrics for these songs were no longer particularly relatable to Dave and so he rewrote them to create a juxtaposition of today’s lyrics on Circa '90’s music and a middle aged man’s words superimposed on a young man’s melodies.

My Lowest Tide
Track 12 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan
Lyrics:
My Lowest Tide
I was standing by the water when I first realised
That just a step beneath the water and troubles never rise
I was cold and lonely and I, I cried:
My lowest tide
I was standing by the water when I first saw the light
That death was just below the water where jilted lovers dive
I was cold and low but I survived
My lowest tide
'Cos everybody changes, everybody changes now
You will too, cos everybody changes now
I was young and I was green
You are too but everybody changes now
You just need to find your feet
You’ll pull through, ‘cos everybody changes now
I was cold and low and now I know
My lowest tide is over now

To Watch and Wonder
Track 11 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan
Lyrics:
To Watch and Wonder
To watch and wonder is such a weight on my mind and I
Never realised you could
Cry with anger and wield your pain like a knife and I
Need a little time to be free
The sacred slaughter of all that’s good in your life is fine
So long as you can find in your
Search for water, to tame the fire and to taste the wine
And find a little time to be free

Someone
Track 10 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan
Lyrics:
Someone
Somewhere there’s a place I can go, so that everybody knows I am somewhere
Sometimes I can hide from the me that I don’t need to be even sometimes
Somedays I am scared I might find that I’m not in your mind even somedays
Something makes me say what I fear so that everyone can hear me say something
Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified
Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified
Someone somewhere’s following me so everyone can see I am someone
Somehow I have opened the door to live forever more, maybe somehow
Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified
(Forever believe its true)
Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified
(You know we believe it too)

Fire and Steam
Track 9 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan
Lyrics:
Fire and Steam
She draws me in with siren’s thrall
She wraps me up to seal my fall
She knows my longings as she grows my fears
She feeds on lust washed down with tears
She casts emotion (she reels me in)
No competition (fools seldom win)
Spews ammunition (and so death begins)
Of rage and deception
With fire and steam she has brought us to extremes
She has torn out our hearts. Now we’re worlds apart… we are worlds apart.
She tracks my footsteps and my every key
She sits on (watches) every page I see
She gives me comfort in echoic room
As she tells her master of his doom
She leaves me wrestling (she feels me writhe)
In spun threads of emotion (to its source she climbs)
With slow evisceration (she bleeds me dry)
She bleeds me for her potion
With fire and steam she has brought us to our knees
Yet we still feel the need to be hirelings at her feet

Don't
Track 8 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan
Lyrics:
Don't
Julie needs a friend to help
But those who can she cannot tell
Julies home alone
Suffocating in its love
Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine
Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine
Julie glides on steel
Just to prove the cold is real
She skates a frozen Baysville pool
I pray to god she won’t fall through
Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine
Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine
If you could hear what would I say?
D’you recall the time we had when stupid games we’d play?
And could you answer if I prayed?
Give it up, give it up, give it up, please
Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine
Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine
Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine
Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine
You're not fine

Shining Like the Sun
Track 7 from the Album C-90 by Dave Egan
Lyrics
Shining Like the Sun
Too many dreams had come & gone for us to say this was the one
So many lights had died yet through the darkest clouds we saw you come
Shining like the sun, shining like the sun.
Too many times we talked of war with only battles others won
So many times we have been blinded to this perfect light you’ve shone
Shining like the sun, shining like the sun.
After all we’re just shadows of the ones we used to be
When I close my eyes our past is sometimes all that I can see
But open wide and futurelight comes pouring over me
Over me, over me
Shining like the sun, shining like the sun
