LYRICS
I’m so lonely without you at home
Yes it is
It’s Chris I miss

It’s so lonely at home without you
Can’t hardly cry myself to sleep
No matter how I weep
I don’t know what to do
When are you coming home
I feel so all alone
Where am I going now?
I’ve got to help her somehow
When is she coming home
When is she?
I’m so lonely
When is she?

Pop The Cork (On Love)

Posted on August 21, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Got a nice thick froth coming to a head
Bubbling over
Sense the effervescence essence getting put to bed
Bubbling over
An aroma that’ll raise you from a coma
Bubbling over
Not hard to tell when you love the smell
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”

Ya did pop the lid… the quirk to pop the cork
Bubbling over
You know how to make the glass overflow
Bubbling over
Finer than the finest wine… fine, fine, fine
Bubbling over
A perfect blend to help hearts mend
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”
Love bubbling over our
Happy hour

Societal Cancer

LYRICS
Here the war weep
Hear the battle cry
The blood runs deep
And,we can’t answer why
Civilians playing uncivil war
Until there are civilians no more

All consuming
Consumption damage
All consuming
Consumption “Damn Age”
Hear the war weep
Here the battle cry
Yipiyi-a-a-a-a
Yipiyi-o-o-o-o
Woe oh oh oh oh….
I don’t know
I just don’t know

Giving Heart Attacks

Posted on August 16, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Have you ever been warned
About the calm before the storm
Before all hell breaks loose
And you’re left swinging…
Under a noose
I’m getting into knowing
The winds of change are blowing
Giving heart attacks
To any heart that lacks

Give your heart an attack of love
Letting in light from above
Feel your heart start
Let the hate depart

Black is black
White is white
I’d say you’re out of the grey
Not so fine… crossing the line

Giving Heart Attacks.mp3

Old Fiddlers’ Picnic

Posted on August 15, 2017August 15, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Outback in the hills of Chester County
There’s a sight you’ve got to hear to see
Just bring a fiddle to solve the riddle
Do tell! A jig to keep you well
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
We’re starting ‘fore noon
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
Play ’til we’re under the moon

Groove in the grove in Chester County
It’s alright… the sound you’ll see
Strum a guitar, sing-a-long or hum
Yell! Swing to a melody so swell
Chorus

Far-out in the hills of Chester County
Picking tunes… a plentiful bounty
You know… tap a toe… let it go
Do tell! A jig to keep you well

Silent Running

Posted on August 15, 2017August 15, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
In the silent running
Of the water flowing
All together knowing
Where we’re going

Going down to the river
Down to the sea
Going down to deliver
Down to “the see”

In the silent running
In the midst of floating
All together knowing
Where we’re going
Chorus

In the silent running
All over the waterfall
Already knowing
Where we’re going
Chorus

Humanity Insanity

Posted on August 14, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Tryin’ to find humanity in insanity
How to be kind became a rarity
Why debate if it’s too late
The more the haste, the less the waste
Regurgitate your hesitate
The less the wait, the less the late
Does “The End” depend on if you participate
Or opt-in default’s what I should anticipate?

Gone, Gone, Gone

Posted on August 14, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Been too often
I’ve heard you scoff
Hearts will soften
Now I’m off
I can see clear
To “out of here”
Like the wind, I”m blowin’
You know… I’m gone

One too many
Times you’ve said
In a furry
“I wish you dead”
I can see clear
To “out of here”
Like the wind, I”m blowin’
You know… I’m gone

Maybe I am
Sensitive
To sarcasm
I’d rather live
I can see clear
To “out of here”
Like the wind, I”m blowin’
You know… I’m gone

Singing the song
Gone, gone, gone

Gone, Gone, Gone.mp3

Cliff-hanger

Posted on August 14, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
As we give it to Mother… gonna band Her
The cliff is stiff… it will survive
Will there be a human to hang alive?
Stubborn human gas in their own oven
Amazed rats built a maze into their cage

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Like buffalo over… Man’s in dnager
The cliff is stiff… it will survive
Will there be a human to hang alive?
Stubborn human gas in their own oven
Amazed rats built a maze into their cage

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Times couldn’t get more stranger
The cliff is stiff… it will endure
As for humans… not so sure
Top of the food chain through the floor
Kill themselves ’til there are no more
… ’til their our – no more
… ’til the hour – no more

A Big Ta-do

Posted on August 14, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
A big ta-do about nothing
Helicopters buzzing ’round
A big ta-do about nothing
Trying to figure what’s goin’ down
Maybe we’ll see something extraordinary?

A big ta-do about nothing
Lights flashing… sirens screaming
A big ta-do about nothing
Still figuring if there’s a deeper meaning
Maybe we’ll see something extraordinary?

A big ta-do about nothing
Firemen with axe in hand
A big ta-do about nothing
Hoping soon I”ll understand
Maybe we’ll see something extraordinary?

A big ta-do about nothing
People standing as if in awe
A big ta-do about nothing
People standing with dropped jaw
Maybe we’ll see something extraordinary?

Questions Run Deep

Posted on August 11, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
How many waves have crashed upon the beach
Is the number within reach
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

How close are you sitting to the sun
Does it feel so close that it’s got you on the run
Take the leap into questions running deep

If you can talk the talk
You can walk i on the boardwalk
Let your guitar do the talking
Feet dancing… forget the walking

How many tides have been high
Take a guess… go ahead n’ try
Memories you keep of questions running deep

Then, maybe you might know
How many tides have been low
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

Questions Run Deep.mp3

At Last

Posted on August 5, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Something is happening
The brass ring
Within grasp…
At last
They say it’s a new beginning
Baby, we’re on our way
A free ride
On the carousel
Farewell
Worry died
(Good-bye darkside)

Life is strange
Riding on an ostrich
Modern age
Re-arrange
Going round and round and round
You’re found
On the carousel of life
Reside on the free side
No cost… no strife

Purple

Posted on August 5, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Is your favorite color purple?
Then it’s really quite simple
Led my heart of red
To mix with the blues for you

Is your favorite color green?
I know just what you mean
Hello! I’m the fellow with yellow
To mix with the blues for you

Is your favorite color blue?
There’s really not much to do
The color is already true
It’s straight up blues for you

Chorus
Primarily primary scene
Primarily primary seen
Yellow, red, blue
Spirit, mind, body
See…
What’s made of you

Bloody Shame

Posted on August 4, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
The way you play the game
Is a bloody shame
Can’t punch through a wall after all

“If you throw the ball on the street
And your brother runs after it
He’s done for!”
He’s no more
So this summer…
You know… after all… to the beat
Of a different drummer
Of a different strummer
Of a different hummer

Bloody Shame.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: Alternative Rock
Chords: E / G A E
Recording: original take / digital 1-track stereo

Inspired by two encounters on the street:
One with a fellow that just punched a wall.
The other with a mother talking to her children.

Freedom Train

Posted on August 4, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
I heard there’s a train leaving
Leaving for Freedom
Freedom, USA
What do you say
We try to find our way
Free of dumb in Freedom
USA

They say Freedom’s just a little way
Further down the line
They say we’ll get there…
Just a matter of time

I heard the last train’s leaving
Grieving for Freedom
Freedom, USA
What do you say
We find a way to stay
In the Freedom kingdom
Each and every day
