Louie Louie

Posted on March 30, 2016 by admin

“Louie Louie” is an American rhythm and blues song written by Richard Berry in 1955 and best known for the 1963 hit version by the Kingsmen. It has become a standard in pop and rock, with hundreds of versions recorded by different artists. The song was originally written and performed in the style of a Jamaican ballad. It tells, in simple verse–chorus form, the first-person story of a Jamaican sailor returning to the island to see his lady love.

A     D      Em D     A          D  Em  D
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go. 
A     D      Em D     A          D  Em  D
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go. 

  A    D         Em         D                       
A fine girl, who waited for me. 
  A       D     Em        D                       
I catch a ship across the sea. 
  A          D    Em   D                       
I sailed the ship all alone. 
  A        D              Em      D                       
I wondered when I'm gonna make it home. 

Chorus

      A          D      Em         D                           
Three nights and days I sailed the sea. 
  A            D    Em      D                       
I think of the girl constantly. 
A      D       Em        D                       
On the ship, I dream she there. 
  A         D           Em     D                       
I smell the rose that's in her hair. 
Chorus

  A     D      Em    D                       
I see Jamaican moon above. 
A       D        Em       D                       
See the girl I'm thinking of.
  A        D     Em       D                       
I take her in my arms and then 
A        D     Em     D                       
Say I'll never leave again.

Sloop John B

Posted on March 30, 2016 by admin

“Sloop John B” is a traditional folk song from the Bahamas, “The John B. Sails”, which was included in Carl Sandburg’s 1927 collection of folk songs The American Songbag. It is best known for its folk rock adaptation by the Beach Boys.

(G) 
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me     (D)
Around Nassau town we did roam
             (G)
Drinking all night
           (C)
Got into a fight
        (G)
Well I feel so broke up
(D)          (G)
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets              (D)
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
           (G)            (C)
I wanna go home, let me go home
  (G)                    (D)        (G)
Well, I feel so broke up I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
Chorus

The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

Humor Me

Posted on March 22, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Have you developed a tumor
Seemed to have lost your sense of humor
When you’re thinking funny
The skies are sunny [milk and honey… birds sing and things]
Would you rather be in a tomb, or
Have a sense of humor
[laughter / instrumental]

Even if you’re a late bloomer
Get a sense of humor
It’s more than a rumor
Fountain of youth is a sense of humor
Have you developed a funny bone?
Now we’re coming home

In The Dark

Posted on March 20, 2016March 20, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Hope I don’t fall or hit the wall
As I embark
Hope I don’t fall or hit the wall
Stumbling in the dark

Maybe I should have stayed in bed
Then run the risk of hitting my head
Better off risking that my head bled
Then to wake up finding everyone dead

Stumbling, fumbling, searching
In the dark
Searching for light in the dark
A little flicker… do you know the glow?
Some sort-of spark

Becoming the welder’s arc
Building in the dark
Love seldom leaves a mark
When lighting up the dark

Be The Bulb

Posted on March 20, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
My Dear Heart, the clouds start to part
So the light can begin flooding in
Arisen in a baptism
Climb our of the chasm
And see the vision
See the vision chine
Time to shine fine

It’s your own doin’ if ya let the light in
If you don’t begin, how can it happen?
So let the light come flooding in
Arisen in a baptism
Climb our of the chasm
And see the vision
See the vision chine
Time to shine fine

Pull the shades
Open the blinds
As hate fades
Open the minds
When you open your heart, who knows what one finds?
Opening hearts and opening minds

Getting Heavy

Posted on March 20, 2016March 20, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
You must be kidding me
Can’t believe the things I see
The relativity
Of spacetime gravity

It’s hard to believe
It’s gettin’ heavy
Damn it… the mass of our planet
Causing our morals to plummet

Another sister or brother
Turning on one another
Doesn’t anyone bother?
Make an effort to discover

Protesters protesting protesters
Like prehistoric raptors
Preaching like Southern pastors
More like rat bastards

On the Rastafari safari

Some sort-of spiritual endeavor
That’s going to last for ever and ever
A spiritual endeavor
That’s going to last for ever
Gonna kill you with love

Rastafarian reptilian
A spiritual endeavor
There’s no responsibility for me

Playing Chicken

Posted on January 4, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

How could the chicken cross the road
If it didn’t proceed
Why would a chicken cross the road
How would we ever know

Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

I don’t get the yoke
But that’s the way the egg rolls
I don’t get the yoke

Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
Why did the chicken cross the road
Oh, why
Did Chicken Little fear a falling sky
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

I tell ya it’s cut throat
Chances are remote
Why did the chicken cross the road
Knowledge overload
Or knowledge underlaod

Only Fear When Near

Posted on January 4, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
The End is coming
The only thing to fear is how near

The End is coming
There is no sense in running
The only thing to fear is how near

From the moment you’re born
You’re soon to learn
The only for certain
Is that I am
Marching
To some different drumming
We’re all marching
Toward the end that’s coming

Oh, my, my
We’re all gonna die
The End is coming
Only need fear how near

The only clarity
When it comes to certainty
Is the end is coming
So the only thing to fear is how near
The older you get the more it becomes clear
The only thing to fear is how near

Only Fear When Near.mp3

Bubbling

LYRICS
[Pop!]

The bubbles rise
They float…
To the top
Then, they pop!
When they get there
They’re at home in the air
The bubbles rise
They float…
To the top
Then, they pop!

Bubbling

Bubbling toward the surface
And, suffice to say
They take on a new birth
In the atmosphere of Earth
The bubbles float…
To the top
Then, they pop!

Share The Care

Posted on December 28, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Does anybody share the care
Is anybody there
Do you care to share

Does anybody anywhere share the care
Please let me know you’re out there

Do you have a concern about the level of care
That you can see anyone anywhere share
Or is it just all wrapped up in selfish
Selfish like some sort-of shellfish
The happy clam that I am

Don’t you think it would be fair
If we all learned to share the care
Don’t you think it would be alright
If we all gained some insight
Saw the light
See the light
Be the light
“We” the light
