LYRICS
Are you pitching the Earth is flat?
Do you believe in the Man In The Moon?
Are you bitching ’bout where we’re at
Too tight right is a raging loon
Wound too tight
Bound to fight
What the future holds
Their house of cards folds
Under the grumbles and mumbles (mumbles and grumbles)
The house of cards tumbles
Are you pitching conspiracy theory
Do you believe in the tooth fairy
All your bitching… I’m growing weary
If you’re making it by, it’s barely
Wound too tight
Bound to fight
What the future holds
Their house of cards folds
Under the grumbles and mumbles (mumbles and grumbles)
The house of cards tumbles

LYRICS
Hold my beer… will you, bloke?
Fear of fear
Now, I’ll choke
And, is our “society” also fleeting
No one gives a whim
Except for her or him
Only as it relates
To the state…
Of me (me,me,me)
The fallacy of “I’ll give my middle finger to society.”

LYRICS
It’s been reported
Daylight is getting shorter
Sunshine aborted
The year’s final quarter
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again
Sun’s been thwarted
By the Earth’s axis
Going wholehearted
Into the depths of Christmas
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again
ABOUT THE SONG
The winter solstice, hiemal solstice or hibernal solstice occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. The winter solstice was immensely important because the people were economically dependent on monitoring the progress of the seasons. Starvation was common during the first months of the winter, January to April, also known as “the famine months”. The majority of wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking at this time. The concentration of the observances were not always on the day commencing at midnight or at dawn, but at the beginning of the pagan day, which in many cultures fell on the previous eve. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
Not a faint whisper on a calm day
No, not a clue
“Know” idea what you’re trying to say
How to get through
Looking forward to a place and time
In a space of I’m
A virtuous us
The aptitude for attitude
Tuned to rude
The fashion of compassion
Turned to fascism
Looking forward to a place and time
In a space of I’m
A virtuous us
More than a brick shy of a load
Light in the loafers
Making my head want to explode
Whack-a-mole gophers
Looking forward to a place and time
In a space of I’m
A virtuous us

LYRICS
What’s the alarm
In threat of harm
Don’t bet the farm
It won’t touch us
Focus works like a charm
It can save us from harm
Out of harms way
That’s where we’ll stay
Throughout the day
It won’t touch us
Focus works like a charm
It can save us from harm
If I’ve my way
On Earth I’ll stay
Threats we’ll disarm
They won’t touch us
Focus works like a charm
It can save us from harm

LYRICS
You certainly do our party no justice, sir.
How free is freedom
Free as the free dumb
Dum, de, dum, dumb
[Fife and drum]
Again, again, again
Pissin’ in the wind
Sprotin’ a stupid grin
Instead of a mile wide smile
Mile wide eye’d I’d smile
Time to begin
In days gone by
Maybe it’s time
To wonder why

LYRICS
So, I thought the seasons
Were slipping by slowly
As I paused to ponder…
Yesterday passed beyond yonder
Now, I sit here
… hear my strumming
In the headlights
Of our future coming
Youngster’s fears faded through the years
Frozen on the tracks
Perplexed with basic facts
Now, I sit here
… hear my strumming
In the headlights
Of our future coming

As the humane human (hue-men)

Lucky to get a greet
Unlikely to get to meet
Really

1,2,3,4,5,6 7/8
It’s not too late
To make it whole
A 1/8th mate
To fill the hole
If it’s hard to bear
We’re almost there
Now our hearts to bare
Become self-aware
Finding the role
Finding the gate
Finding the roll
Before it’s too late
1,2,3,4,5,6 7/8
1, 2
One, too
Won 2
Want to?

Then came the light
The End in sight

Flavor endeavor
Making a mark
Out of the dark
Into the shimmering shine

LYRICS
I was taken aback
Almost had a heart attack
Happened right before my eyes
Reality in disguise
I’d say I nearly chocked
Reality cleverly cloaked
I find it hard to believe
My racing heart relieve
I was taken aback
Almost had a heart attack
Happened right before my eyes
Reality in disguise
I’d say I nearly chocked
Reality cleverly cloaked
I find it hard to buy
Blood pressure’s rising too high
I was taken aback
Almost had a heart attack
Happened right before my eyes
Reality in disguise
I’d say I nearly chocked
Reality cleverly cloaked
Shocked by the surprise
Temperature’s starting to rise

LYRICS
You’ve got it hummin’
You have it comin’
You told me before
About confidence
And then ever since
Been grateful to you, too
Been grateful forever more
… hummin’
You have it comin’
Walking on fences
Surveying evidence
Making reference(s)
Offensive defense
Been grateful
The collateral
The collateral damages
The savages
… of love

Sometimes it seems
Life is but a dream
Sugar and spice
Peaches and cream
Enjoy it while we/you/I can
No telling if we do it again
Sometimes it feels life
Is full of love
Faith and hope
Raining down from above
A hush
Awash in a flood of love
swimmingly
Life is but a dream
[Enjoy it while we’re here
Enjoy what we can hear
… music go the ear]
