The FCP GROUP is a band of composers. We are all writers, some perform, all have performed professionally in the past.
FCP is not so much a band in the "performing" musical sense........more like a "band" of various talents in the songwriting arena.

Story behind the song
Okay, some mistakes have more severe ramifications than others. The death penalty is a punishment for a truly heinous act against our fellow men; no more, no less. Bottom line- we are all responsible for our actions. No magic to take it back or make it go away.
Lyrics
"DEAD MAN WALKING" (verse) It seems everyone's arrived So now we can start the show In it the e-vil villain dies Sit back and watch it all unfold If when the cur-tain falls And you're not struck with awe Please take it up with management 'Cause I've played my last role (chorus) I wish I had a time machine Travel to the past and wipe the slate clean You're taking all I have I don't have any more Maybe even a magic lamp One I could rub and take it all back Ain't gonna happen, so Let's get the show on the road- let's go- we know There are no time machines (verse) I see their lips all move in prayer It's good to know faith is still alive And maybe as they face their fear They may feel something else inside And all the hurt I've caused Has echoed in these walls "I'm Sorry" just won't say it all So I leave you this thought (chorus) I wish I had a time machine Travel to the past and wipe the slate clean You're taking all I have I don't have any more Maybe even a magic lamp One I could rub and take it all back Ain't gonna happen, so Let's get the show on the road- let's go- we know There are no magic lamps (bridge) I'm all strapped in, we're thumbs up, all system's go So countdown to the launch, and send me home (instrumental) (fini) I wish I had a time machine Travel to the past and wipe the slate clean I'm giving all I have I just hope it's enough Maybe even a magic lamp One I could rub and take it all back There's no time machines- there's no magic lamps There's no magic lamps- there's no time machines copyright 2007 lyric barney lee bowden/music mark robert lightcap
