bookmark_borderJust Yards Away

Posted on by admin

1. Wowwwww… the wind blew hard
When I started thinking of you
Though, there your are
Only yards away

2. The chill you sent up my spine
Must not have been you at all
As it was divine
And, you know my position on the divinity of humanity

[Repeat 1 and add:]
Just yards away
Backyards. Frontyards.
Sidewards sideyards
Just yards away

But ya know the feeling,
Will I ever be close to you?

ABOUT THIS SONG
Sometimes you think you want to be close to someone, but then you think, “Do I really want that person to be close to me?” Then, I think to myself… perhaps it is best to start by being close to God. Then, you don’t have to worry about the other person’s imperfections getting on your nerves? 🙂

I could see
He saw
But, I still couldn’t be sure
If his behavior
Would be peculiar

Will he steer clear?
The fear of those
Not responsible for their own actions

That is
Ornery omnivore -itis
Causing my selfish-homosapien -ophobia

Let’s turn the nightmare
Into our day’s dream
Anti-Anthropophobia
In a social utopia

DIRECTIONS TO LIFE

Whatever it is
There are so many ways it can be done
1) The puzzle is to recognize it is a puzzle.
2) The trick is to recognize the best solution.

When accepting guidance from above
When accepting guidance from the heart
The answer is instantly easy to see
As well as, when to start

You’ll know it’s now
You’ll know just how
Understanding,
The impact of your action
On the faction
Comprehending
The ramification
On the population

You’ll know you’ve won
When you know you’re one

Solution
Satisfaction
Deployment
Of enJOYment

It’s a great day in America
Yet, another great day in America
Not like flecks of mica
No, not fool’s gold

You can be anything you want
Before growing old
In America

You can be the President
Of the United States
Or fly a ship
To the moon
Or, be a philanthropist
Of conscious states

Jump, skip or flip

The pursuit of happiness
Is none too soon…

bookmark_borderTake Me To Your Leader

Posted on by admin

“I am a stranger”
Stranger, I am
Stranger than you
An Alien?

“I come in peace”
A piece I am
More than a pwan
Are you?

“Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.”

This note in my pocket
Is to notify you
There is no intelligent life on Earth —
the third planet from the sun.

We’ll guarantee your eternity
While mine is in jeopardy

ABOUT THIS SONG
The song was written on February 20, 2012 — the anniversary of the John Glenn’s space flight of 1962.

“I am a stranger. I come in peace. Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.”
— Note carried by John Glenn (the first man to orbit Earth. It was translated into several languages in case he splashed down in the remote South Pacific seas.

I went to the City of Brotherly Love,
And, asked ’em,
“How do you spell love?”

They replied,
L. Ooooo V E,
With a lopsided Oh.

I went to God Almighty Above,
And, asked her,
“If you were to conjure up a spell,
well… what would it be?”
She replied with an angel’s sigh,
“The spell is love.”

Please sing it with me,
“Love spell,
L. Ooooo V. E.,
With a lopsided Oh.”

Beats the devil outta hell,
L.O.V.E. spell

All yell,
“Love spell,
L. Ooooo V. E.,
With a lopsided Oh.”

ABOUT
This song was inspired by Dave Grohl’s 2012 Grammy Acceptance Speech… and, was ecorded in a makeshift home-studio using an 8-track recorder.

LYRICS

Dave,
Please save the day.
Hey!

Can you teach us to play?
Can you meet us half way?
Can you reach us… all the way?

“It comes from here.” (point to your heart)
It comes from hear. (point to your mind)

Ole school Grohl
Taping in the garage
Ole school Grohl
No music mirage
Ole school Grohl

Dave,
Please save the day.
Hey!

Will you help us today?
Will you lead the way…
Show us how to plaaaaaay.
How to play a show…
The spirit in music you know.

No fool fighters
Dave Grohl sighters

DAVE GROHL’S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Accepting the award, Grohl said, “To me, this award means a lot because it shows the human element of music is what’s important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that’s the most important thing for people to do…It’s not about being perfect, it’s not about sounding absolutely correct, it’s not about what goes on in a computer. It’s about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].”

Later, Dave went on to say, “To me the biggest advantage of going analog is the restrictions that it implies, which gets you to perform in a way that you’re actually being a human being. We thought about heart and performance. And I would rather people not tune their vocals, I would rather people not grid their drums.”

Walking down and I witnessed a crime,
It happens all the time,
Whether you’re an authority,
Or, just some guy parking… like me.

George Smith,

George Smith Towing.

Greed,
You wanna beat me?
I’m not your wife,
Get out of my life.

Making all that bad juju voodoo,
That you do.

Try taking the car out of park,
Not random vandalism,
On the lark.

PART II

George Smith,
George Smith,
The towing that’s owing,
George Smith

Dear George Smith,

Pursuant to your towing,
We find you to be owing,
For crimes against civility.

See, your boy,
Did crushed our joy,
As we were trying to have fun with Fun.

Then, on my way to find New Found Glory,
Your boy got in the way…
Ruined the day…
Ruined liberty’s story.

He threatened us once,
He threatened us twice,
He terrorized men into mice.

Is this your car?
I’m going to lick you,
Puss e!

I’m going to tow this car far.
Er, a… I would if I knew how to tow a car,
But so far,
No.

No know,
I ain’t been edjewmacated on the crimes I commit… throw a fit,
Shall I call the cops?

Please do,
Hang on,
I’ll get them for you.

No need to make threats on whose asses are moped… rather know good comes out on top.

You don’t need to,
Share the wealth,
Just as you can’t,
Share good health.

But, you can,
Share your love,
Spread it thick,
Or, spread it thin.

The dead,
Or quick?

Rise above,
Evil kin,
Dance and move,
While you’ve the skin.
Rise above,
The lowly sin,
Flying high,
Again.

Lord, despite my moans,
Thanks for these bones.
These bones gonna rise again.
Lord, despite my wine-in’,
Thanks for this skin.
From a puddle of mud,
My blood,
And, I thank you so.
So, here I go,
Spreading it thick,
While of the quick.

I’ll be your blood vessel… flesh castle,
A Holy Grail set for sail,
Flesh castle,
Blood vessel.

Where ever I roam,
I’m at home.

My body — soul’s house,
At least this life,
No, never alone… in the house of God.

God is good,
God is great,
So, I thank Her….

As part of Her,
Wildlife.

Wild life,
Jig and sing,
Constant fling thing.

“You don’t like the tornadoes?
Stop stirring things up down there,”
God said.

Instead in the stable,
Jig and sing,
Wildlife.

“The loose on the loose,
Ramparts running rampant,”
says Mother Goose.

Mother Nature blows in the wind,
“Naturally, the nature to nurture,
could be nurtured. What a rapture!”

Love life,
Wildlife.

The *please do not refrain from the refrain* refrain:
I’m just a church mouse in God’s house.
Wildlife,
Wild life.

Love life,

Posted on by admin

Are we living,
Living in a place,
Where humans,
Aren’t humane,
Where the beings,
Aren’t being,
Very sane?

Oh, no,
A hobo,
Hobo jungle,
My fellow man,
Is more savage,
Than human.

Oh, no,
Hobo,
Woah,
Hobo,
Jungle,
Hobo jungle

The city isn’t savage,
It’s our age,
All over the land,
Can’t understand,
Why the rednecks,
Wreak havoc,
Bully the brains.

Why the fast paced,
Ran, run, raced,
Trampled my face….

Can’t we be the kind,
That can be kind,
No need to remind,
To mind….

Mind my business,
Build a fortress,
Rain distress,
Reign distress,
No, not my mess.

No, I won’t go,
So, far….
As to call it,
A hobo jungle…
More of a bungled,
Humanity.

Are we the animals,
Damning all,
To a hobo jungle,
Just a little respect,
Will fetch,
A civil twilight,
As our day,
Fades to night.

Just a little appreciation,
For the federation,
Of humankind,
Leaving the least,
In the lead,
And, the first,
Behind.
