Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t (give up)
Forego break and bend
It’s not (The End)
When they snort and spit
Who really gives a $hit?
Friend,
It’s not (The End)
Remember who you are
And, you will see
From “me”
Who’s on the mend
It’s not (The End)
(The End)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If only there were just the two of us
Then, maybe, gluttony would be fabulous
But, alas
I digress
… back to the mess

If only there were just the two of us
Maybe greedy
Would be glorious
But, alas
I digress
… back to the mess

If only there were just the two of us
Maybe humanity would be frivolous
But, alas
I digress
… back to the mess

Coversong first made famous by Peter Gabriel
Written by Peter Gabriel

A                     D
September '77, Port Elizabeth weather fine
A                             D
It was business as usual In police room 619
A                       D
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
G         Bm
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
D               A
The man is dead, the man is dead

A                                 D
When I try to sleep at night I can only dream in red
A                                               D
The outside world is black and white With only one colour dead
A                       D
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
G         Bm
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
D               A
The man is dead, the man is dead

A                                    D
You can blow out a candle But you can never blow out a fire
A                                    D
Once the flames begin to catch The wind will blow it higher
A                       D
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
G         Bm
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
D               A
The man is dead, the man is dead
A                                  D
And the eyes of the world are watching you now
They're watching you now,

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Take it
Leave it
Love it
Hate it
Beauty is in the I
Of the beholder
Embraced by the younger
Scourge of the older
Eye can see
Eye can see

Give it
Take it
Shake it
But… don’t break it
Beauty is in the I
Of the beholder
Embraced by the younger
Scourge of the older
Eye can see
Eye can see

Raise it
Floor it
Abhor it
Adore it
Beauty is in the I
Of the beholder
Embraced by the younger
Scourge of the older
Eye can see
Eye can see

LYRICS
Glad to see
These are betterdays
Seems to me
The past parted ways
Glad to be
In the human race
In a better place
Spinning round
As we circle around
Is where we can be found
Found running round and round
The sun
When all’s said and done
Found running round and round
The sun

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sitting
Waiting
On a miracle
Maybe it is a matter of wishing
Our dreams come true
Perhaps it’s a matter of pushing
Doing all we can do

Watching
Anticipating
A miracle
Divine intervention
Something special
Maybe it is a matter of wishing
Our dreams come true
Perhaps it’s a matter of pushing
Doing all we can do

Hoping and praying
For a miracle
Jaw dropping awe
A “holy mackerel”
Maybe it is a matter of wishing
Our dreams come true
Perhaps it’s a matter of pushing
Doing all we can do

LYRICS
Structure fracture
Caused the Earth’s rapture
Time to question the future
I ain’t jokin’
Backbone’s broken
Mother Nature’s spoken
Maybe it’s not too late
To alter human’s fate
Maybe it’s not too late
To change our “past due” date

Realization
Foundation damnation
Hypocritical nation
Division stokin’
Judicial’s broken
The people have spoken
Maybe it’s not too late
To alter human’s fate
Maybe it’s not too late
To change our “past due” date

Coversong originally made famous by 4 Non Blondes
Written by Linda Perry

G
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Am
Trying to get up that great big hill
   C               G
Of hope for a destination
G
I realized quickly when I knew I should
         Am
That the world was made up of this brotherhood
   C                      G
Of man, for whatever that means

[Pre-Chorus]
         G
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
        Am
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
      C                         G
and I - I am feeling a little peculiar
         G
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
      Am
and I take a deep breath and I get real high and
  C                                           G
I scream at the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
[Chorus]
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
[Interlude]
G     Am  C   G
Ooh, Ooh Ooh
G     Am  C   G
Ooh, Ooh Ooh
[Verse]
      G                   Am
And I try, oh my God do I try
              C                  G
I try all the time, in this institution
      G                    Am
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
                    C
I pray every single day
          G
For a revolution
[Pre-Chorus]
         G
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
        Am
Just to get it all out, what's in my head

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The joy of youth quite contagious
That it overtakes us
Though young at heart quite courageous
Let it overtake us
So much more
Than bull and matador
Quest: even the score
Don’t confuse their innocence
With our arrogance
No, don’t confuse their innocence
With our ignorance

LYRICS
I ask myself in the heat of the day
Is it suppose to be this hot today
Should we be going this way

Still in the midst of the month of May
Is it suppose to be so hot all day
Should we be going this way

The skies haven’t seen a touch of grey
I can still hear my mother say
Should we be going this way?

LYRICS
The simplest shades of green
Compared to the extreme
Do you know what I mean
If there’s envy inside of me
How green? See what I mean
Whoever knew if I was new
Then, too, I’d be green
My level of green has grown obscene
In case you haven’t seen
The scene all splattered with green

Where’s the hot potato
Comin’round to you

Did you even know
(So… whatcha gonna do?
Comin’round to you)
Better think quick
And pass on it
(Why not? It’s hot!)

Where’s the hot potato
Comin’round to me
(In front of me? See.)
Do I even know?

What’s it gonna be?)
Better think quick
And pass on it

bookmark_borderA Matter of Fact

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The frequency of the vibration
Set in motion more than notion
The frequency that impacts me
Send me a sign
In the form of a sine
And I will wave by in time
The frequency that impacts me
The frequency to impact me
The frequency of the frequency
Clarity on frequency
Clarification on vibration
Does the difference matter?
The difference is in matter

ABOUT THE SONG
There is a difference between frequency and vibration. Vibration is a physical phenomenon involving matter.

bookmark_borderHear to Fix It

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
This is a door I never knew exists
The sign says exit
I know for sure I’ll forever resist
We’re here to fix it
The sun may be setting on the rest
Who knows? Maybe it’s for the best
But we’ve stood the test
We’re hear to fix it
Standing fast we won’t quit

This is a floor I’ve never been to before
The sign says Penthouse
Glad to see there’s forever more
The elephant’s mouse
The sun may be setting on the rest
Who knows? Maybe it’s for the best
But we’ve stood the test
We’re hear to fix it
Standing fast we won’t quit

This is a stage I’ve always wanted to play
I’m feeling blessed
This is the age… we’re living in the day
Who would’ve guessed?
The sun may be setting on the rest
Who knows? Maybe it’s for the best
But we’ve stood the test
We’re hear to fix it
Standing fast we won’t quit
