Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t care if you’re an atheist
Or feel you’ve been “God blessed”
Here’s some love
Unnnn… conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)

I don’t care if you have bad hair
Or if there is hardly any there
Here’s some love
Unnnn… conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)

I don’t care how you politic
If it makes me ill… if it makes me sick
Here’s some love
Unnnn… conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)

I don’t care if there’s toy’s in the attic,
Skeletons in the closet,
A sports fanatic,
Or a leakin’ faucet
Here’s some love
Unnnn… conditional (love, love, love)
Lots more love
Unconditional (love, love, love)

LYRICS
I don’t know ho to get through the day
If you stay home, we can play
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don’t go away
(Baby, don’t go away)

When you leave and shut the door
I cry, and I cry for more
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don’t go away

Leaving me tears me apart
I don’t know where to start
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don’t go away

When I hear you open the door
I beg, and I beg for more
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don’t go away

bookmark_borderSet Me Free

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Oh, please…
I don’t need a collar
I don’t need a leash
Makes me wince when you say fence
Hence,
Why don’t you see your way to set me free

I hate it when you holler
Promise you I’ll cease
Suggested as my best defense
Hence,
Why don’t you see your way to set me free

Maybe today is my lucky day
What do you say
Can you find a way
If you let me be
Independently
Why don’t you see your way to set me free?

bookmark_borderHow I Roll

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know what’s come over me
Call it loss of control
’cause obviously
It’s plain to see
I see $hit and I roll
… that’s how I roll

Get the smell of you
Can’t help what I do
Found your shoe
Now I’m going to chew, chew, chew
… takes it’s toll
I see $hit and I roll
… that’s how I roll

When I see your door’s smallest crack
My opportunity to attack
Like an electric jolt
Flash! I’m gonna bolt
… the smallest hole
I see $hit and I roll
… that’s how I roll

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Though you’re just a puppy
It’s never too early
Though you’re just a puppy
You “Run, Dog, run!”
The moving keeps you happy
Are good and ready
The moving keeps you happy
So, run, Dog, run!
Maybe his bark is worse than his bite
But with a bark like that…
Bite he might

Have you figured out
Confused or in doubt
Have you figured out
You better run, Dog, run
Getting a little close
Close within a nose
Getting a little close
You better run, Dog, run
Maybe his bark is worse than his bite
But with a bark like that…
Bite he might

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You lay down with humans
You get up with fleas
You lay down with humans
You get up with fleas
’cause those damned humans
Do whatever they please

Sleeping ’round town
Words goin’ round
’cause those damned humans
Will bring ya to your knees

You get down with humans
You wake-up to fleas
’cause those damned humans
Do whatever they please

Cryin’ and scratchin’
Mange and sleaze
’cause those damned humans
Do whatever they please

Who’s the bad dog now
Them or we
’cause those damned humans
Do whatever they please

ABOUT THE SONG
A song inspired by the classic “Hound Dog”. Leiber and Stoller wrote the song using a bad dog as a metaphor for a bad man. So, this song reverses the rolls in defense of dogs everywhere.

LYRICS
1) Spent too many days home alone
Waiting on some telephone
Condition of death prone
Chorus:
When it comes to The End
Best thing for heart’s mend
Man’s best of friends
Maybe man’s only friend?

2) People want to stare and gawk
Behind your back talk, talk, talk
Think it’s time to take you for a walk
(chorus)

3) People want to chastise me
No, they won’t let me be
All you want’s the closest tree
(chorus)

4) Oh, oh dog gone it!
Forget the people flaunted
Nevermore to be wanted
(chorus)

bookmark_borderFool For Summer

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you ever get enough summer fun
Why’s it always feel time’s on the run
Some sort-of rule
About going to school
Guess at heart I’m just a summertime fool
The kids grow up and leave the nest
But surely I digress
Those that think it’s best
Well, they’ve got the wrong address

Can you ever get enough summer fun
Why’s it always feel time’s on the run
Parents go irate
Over a certain date
If it was up to me, wouldn’t hesitate
To say, “Let it wait!”
The kids grow up and leave the nest
But surely I digress
Those that think it’s best
Well, they’ve got the wrong address
… I digress

LYRICS
Though it might seem
As dark as
The darkest night
Though it might
Tonight
It might
Insight
I’m Dreaming of the light
I just might
Be dreaming of the light
Hear the thunder clap
Know the lightning looms
Stomp my feet
Catch the beat
Clap
We’ll see the light soon
Understanding clasp

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When you do downtown
Does your Main Street remain?
Can she go downtown
Shopping for a gown?
The consumer in her
No rumor… danger!

When you in to town
Are they sentimental or mental
Longing for capitalism
Wrapped in nepotism
(Demolition)
The consumer in her
No rumor… danger!

Don’t be shy when you’ve nothing left to buy
Bye-bye
Junk puts you in a funk… wonder why
Bye-bye
The consumer in her
No rumor… danger!

Downtown is going down
Going down
All around
Going down

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can’t buy or sell your soul
The devil’s in the details
In the fine print… never fails

Dip your toe, start to wade
How much are you willing to trade
I don’t know but I’ve been told
Find the fountain of youth and never grow old

I don’t know but I’ve been told
The fire of hell never grows cold
(No, never goes cold)

I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can wast your life in search of gold
I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can’t buy or sell your soul
The devil’s in the details
In the fine print… never fails

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Waiting for the atmosphere to clear
How long have I been waiting here?
Oh, dear
How’s the air way up there
Way down here less than fair
Not sure we’re aware
(Or that we even care)

Waiting for the atmosphere
To clear itself from all the fear
Tell me does the time draw near?
Oh, dear

The word on the street I’m waiting to hear
What the message is isn’t coming in clear
Oh, dear

Through the atmosphere trying to peer
How long have I been standing here?
Oh, dear

LYRICS
Are those columns or pillars?
Holding up the weight
Let alone there’s no keystone
To participate
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Built on a foundation of solid rock
Or banging erasers at the school of hard knocks?
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Those standing proud and tall
Applaud your facade… of all the gall
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Is your house built on solid ground
Or falling down all around
Does your cup overflow
With what you know
Wisdom; therefore, I am?
I can’t wait
To end this debate

LYRICS
If the grass is always greener
On the other side
We reside
Believe me time’s are leaner
On that side
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side

If the skies are always bluer
On the other side
We reside
Believe me ours diffuse (the blues)
On this side
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side

Are the streets full of dreamers
Ride the tide
We reside
In the flow of the streamers
The inside
Is outside
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side

LYRICS
1,2… 3,4….
I don’t know if it adds up any more
1,2… 3,4….
Trading logic for blood and gore
My God! What’s in store?
Your God trade rich for poor?

5,6… 7,8….
I don’t know if it’s too late
5,6… 7,8….
Check my expiration date
My God! What’s in store?
Your God trade rich for poor?

7,8… 9,10….
Chances are can’t do it again
7,8… 9,10….
Hard to explain where we’ve been
My God! What’s in store?
Your God trade rich for poor?

1,2… 3,4….
Searching for people that care any more
5,6… 7,8….
Can you tell me if I’m too late
My God! What’s in store?
Your God trade rich for poor?
