SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME
by “Irving King” (the British songwriting team James Campbell and Reginald Connelly)
D
Show me the way to go home
G D
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
D
I had a little drink about an hour ago
A
And it went right to my head
D
Where ever I may roam
G D
On land or sea or foam
D
You will always hear me singing this song
A D
Wont you show me the way to go home

LYRICS
Fighting for your attention
For your dollar’s collection
Fighting to take, take, take
Leaving giving in the wake
A veteran of the Christmas Wars
Putting the greedy behind bars
Better yet, take no prisoners
That can’t be dedicated followers
Playing on your emotion
But, on closer inspection
Fighting to take, take, take,
Try giving “for heaven’s sake!”
A veteran of the Christmas Wars
Your medal is to shine like the stars
Enlightening the universe for ever and ever
’till such time as God’s love ends… never!
Slaying all your religion
Raping Mary, The Virgin
Ripping the heart out of Christmas
Is war strategy for defeat… demise I surmise… alas
LYRICS
When I get close to you, there’s nothing that I can do
I start to march
Rhythm overtakes my heart
If I thirst
If the moth is parch
Let the march burst
Just you watch
Love will rain down
Love will reign down
Quench my thirst
Let the heart burst
No need to rehearse
Let the heart burst
Prior to the hearse

Written and recorded November 11 and 16, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The writing of the album got started at the Veterans Memorial on Veterans Day. As I would play, the children would start marching. Several of the songs on this album marched to the beat of that drummer.

LYRICS
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, for what do we dance?
1, to what do we dance?
Bark it out
Don’t be afraid
Make a sound
Be found… out
Bark it out
Don’t be afraid
You are what you made
Now, make of it what you will
Shake it… better still
1, 2, 3, 4 what are we dancing for?
Dance a suspense dance (can’t wait to anticipate)
Dance a surveillance dance (see if there’s a scene gleam)
Dance an independence dance
Dance a reverence dance
Dance to thank God we’ve got a chance to dance!
1, 2, 3, for what? 1, 2, 3, 4 what do we dance for?
Dance for what
Jump about
Electrify I. Give Watt! (see your energy)

LYRICS
Now it’s time to go to sleep. Good night.
Go to sleep
Now it’s time to dream of dreams
See scenes from realms seldom seen
Sleep comes creepin’ in
The day-life ends just in time for the night’s to begin
Now it’s time to search real deep
Not it’s time to dream a scene
Of the future… what is yet to come
The Age Grandeur when we come together… become
The Age Grandeur when we come together
In the nether
LYRICS
Take some blue
Take some yellow
Don’t forget violet
Do you know what I mean?
Take some green
(or mixing yellow and blue will do)
Color a rainbow
Don’t forget violet
If you read the directions, it calls for red
Or, you can always make do by adding some blue
If you forget the violet
(Aren’t-choo glad you got orange?)
If you’re bright
Take white light
With the rhythm of a prism
Separate the aggregate
And, you know you’ll get a rainbow
= rainbow
Like God make a promise such as this
No harm to humans I wish
