LYRICS
She use to carry her guitar in a funny sack
Looking back… that was my guitar
Come on go, know Joanie know
I said yo, know Joanie know
The boogie woogie bugle girl from company B
As in Joanie B. Goode

LYRICS
Sooner or later
Ya know the water
Will wash it all away
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe today
That water washes away
Do you understand how the Canyon got Grand
Can you command land
Or oversee the sea?
Chorus
Can you comprehend how the ark got afloat
Can your boat cross the mote
Ya know… across Styx to the rainbow?

I wrote the song about the rising sea level. Coincidentally, the next day we got hit by tropical storm Andrea dumping inches of rain on us.
The picture is from a 1998 paper written by the state of New Jersey on what happens when the ice melts.

LYRICS
“Thank you, Sir!”
I really want to thank you, Sir
When you were sitting there sipping your coffee
I didn’t know if you were even aware of me
Then, when it was time for you to go
Wouldn’t you know…
You got up and said, “Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir
“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir
When you were driving down the street in your Jeep
You gave a shout out that I want to keep
Thumbs up, “Keep it up!”
“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir
ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by a writing session in Ambler, PA. While I was playing the guitar, there was a female sitting across the street at Maida coffee. She turned into the first verse. Then as I was writing the first verse, another female came driving by… she is the second verse. Thanks girls!

LYRICS
I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you
Form this point-of-view
It’s easy to see through
Plenty of evidence
For what it is that’s true
I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you
Will our species do
What we all need to?
Plenty of reverence
Is way, way overdue
I’m sitting on the fence
Taking in every clue
I’m sitting on the fence
Turning mystery into “knew”
repeat verses
I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you
There’s no need for defense
I have faith in the who
(That is you)

LYRICS
The words for the verse are crucial
And, I’m trying to figure it out
The chords for the chorus… revolution
And, I’m trying to hammer it out
Please let what they sing ring
Throughout the land
Please let what they play say
We understand
No need to rehearse. This crucible
Is sure to fire things up
The power of love is critical
The volume it’s time to turn up

LYRICS
Who let the fox in the hen house again?
(repeat x3)
As long as we don’t cluck
And, &^$% things up
If we all start panicking
We’ll stampede in our own confusion
Like sitting ducks on the first day of huntin’
(repeat x3)
Probably should take flight
Before we’re in their sights
If they all start shootin’
We’ll stampede in our own confusion
ABOUT THE SONG
A song about politicians and the herd mentality of citizens.
A stampede is an act of mass impulse among herd animals or a crowd of people in which the herd (or crowd) collectively begins running with no clear direction …

LYRICS
Take a look over there
Take a listen here
With a sound crystal clear
Among friends held dear
Dance is natural
It’ll make you bop and sock-hop
It’ll make you twirl
Music is magical
It’ll make you stop the stop
And, start to feel special
It’ll become your favorite spot
Make you feel comfortable being hot
When you play a song you’re beautiful
When you dance along your unbelievable
Let it be told — sold on out-of-this-world
Why not?

LYRICS
You can stand here hoping the world will pass you by
Or, you can choose a better place to move the human race
CHORUS
If you want to get from here
You want to get to there
You have change direction somehow
You can follow the herd trying to stray under every black cloud in the sky
Or, you can choose a better place to move the human race
Chorus
You can sit in your rocker hoping the world will pass you by
Or, can lead the human race to move to a better place
Chorus
You can believe all you’ve heard from the herd… never asking why
Or, can lead the human race to move to a better place
Chorus
Favor the path that is clear
Listen to your instincts. Be aware!
There’s no better time nor place. Here! Now!

Um, though it might appear random
To call it such would dumb
It’s much more complicated than that
Better put on my thinking hat
A butterfly flaps it wings
Causing devastating things
Showing up as tornadoes in Kansas
Your smallest intention effects all of us
Smoke rising up into the air
A most fascinating thing as a smoke-ring
Crystals forming where it was bare
Call it a gem. Call it rare

LYRICS
The key is under lock and key
All modes of communication fail
Like a jaguar chasing a monkey
We’re taking on water… better bail!
The key still under lock and key
All routs of transportation fail
Like a jaguar chasing a monkey
Start walking on water… we need the Holy Grail
The key is locked on the inside
Drowning… respiration will fail
Like a poacher shoots the jaguar for a hide
Start treading treading water… it’s your tail
Like the monkey chases the weasel
Like the jaguar chases the monkey
Like the poacher chases the jaguar
All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought ’twas all in fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.

LYRICS
Raise your stein to Frankenstorm
The lessons that we all can learn
Drink. Drink. Drink! A toast to Sandy
Civilization on the verge of insanity
Call in the cows from the farm
Less they be Wizard-of-Oz airborne
Drink. Drink. Drink! A toast to Sandy
Civilization on the verge of insanity
Life threatening. Light Thundering.
Strife rendering. Right bewildering.

LYRICS
Do you find it compelling when a cat stalks a mouse?
Do you find yourself watching the burning of a hosue?
Beauty is the I of the beholder
Not a matter of being bolder
Not a matter of growing older
Do you find it compelling when you watch an arrest?
Then, on the other hand… are you willing to witness?
Before going to be… watch this
There goes a piece of JFK’s head
Watch the train wreck
What the heck
Beauty is the I of the Be Holder.mp3

LYRICS
Love that’s made from first aid
Live your life like you wouldn’t trade
Put yourself out… don’t be afraid
Step it up… raise your grade
Guaranteed you’ll be repaid
You weren’t meant to wade
Dive in before you fade
There was a little engine
That thought he could
He could use a little push
If you would
There was a little imagine
A thought that would
2 in the hand
Verses 1 in the bush
Understand
Imagine
Please do not resist the assist
A request for aid
Has been made
Offering heart felt help
