Wild Colonials
Wild Colonials are an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1992 by Angela McCluskey (vocals), Shark (guitar/vocals/percussion), Paul Cantelon (violin/piano), Scott Roewe (multi-instrumentalist) and Ian Bernard (drums/percussion). After 1993 members included Thaddeus Corea and Jason Payne on drums/percussion and Skip Ward on bass.
Biography
Formed in early 1992 as an impromptu jam session at an Irish coffee house in Hollywood called Café Beckett. Singer Angela McCluskey had gathered together a group of fellow musicians to arrange a “musical evening” to showcase her friend/guitarist Shark, who had recently relocated to Los Angeles from New York. Brought aboard were Paul Cantelon, on violin and piano; Scott Roewe, on bass, keyboards, and saxophone; and Ian Bernard (drums/percussion) and other revolving special guests. The “musical evening” evolved into a regular gig from the group soon to be known as Wild Colonials - named after the Irish song “Wild Colonial Boy.” Also joining in with the ever changing line up of guests included Dave King (Flogging Molly), Vivian Campbell (Def Leppard), and several members of the Hothouse Flowers and Leonard Cohen's touring band.

This Can't Be Life
by: Wild ColonialsDon't tell me you can't help it
You're old enough to know the score
Why'd you need the love so much?
If we fall, you hate the touch
What's the problem in your soul?
Leaves a gaping deep black hole
Why'd you need so much attention?
Hate it when I try to mention
How it's something not to play with
Don't pretend there's just a little
Don't tell me you can't help it
You're old enough to know the score
You know one day, you wake up sad
You know one day, you wake up sad
You know one day, you wake up sad
Don't tell me you can't help it
You're old enough to know the score
When you can't destroy their will
Keep on fighting 'til you kill
Call me so [Incomprehensible], call me weak
Do anything to hear you speak
Why'd you pick the easy way?
Never believe a thing you say
Have to wonder deep inside
What it is you try to hide?
Don't tell me you can't help it
You're old enough to know the score
You know one day, you wake up sad
You know one day, you wake up sad
You know one day, you wake up sad
So don't tell me that you love me
