LYRICS
We’ve a common thread
And it comes from where we’re bred
Take a look and see
It’s right there in our ancestry

Somerled King Of The Isles
In years travel back in miles
To Charlemagne King Of The Franks
Thanks!
You can see it in our smiles

Arthur didn’t call himself king
And get this… here’s the thing
Neither did Jesus
If it weren’t for them
There wouldn’t be us
I wouldn’t be who I am

St. Columba of the Nine Hostages
Concubines, priests and princesses
Frankly Francus of the Franks
Judah, Jacob, Isacc, Abraham
All part of who I am
Thanks Noah for the rainbow
And for Adam and Lilith
Delivereth

Why Not.mp3

LYRICS
As you go about your busy day
As you scurry along your way
As you fret over the bills to pay
Don’t forget to take the time and say

Hey! Hey! Why not
Pick up the pieces they forgot
Hey! Hey! Why not
Pick up the people they forgot

Hey you, the puzzle’s complete
Everyone on the planet can eat

Chorus

You too can do a humane feat
And have heaven as a treat

LYRICS
Give a shout out
Just look about
What’s up with all the sufferin’?

Starvin’ for lovin’ from within
Starvin’ for lovin’ what a sin

We can fix this
Just takes some piss
And vinegar
The perfect cure

God,
Please give wisdom to the ignoramuses in power
Before our final hour (our hour)

Forgive our debtee
As they’ve forgiven me

Sincerely,
A man, Amen

Come And Get It.mp3

LYRICS
On our way to Grandmother’s house
Where Mom lived ‘fore she became a Brouse
Philadelphia’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Then, turkey dinner all homemade

With mashed potatoes and gravy
All the condiments… so savory
A cornucopia of smells swell
To the point you can tell —

Supper’s ready!
Come and get it!
There’s plenty
To God’s credit

Once the stores are open again
Our first opportunity, we begin
Shopping for toys like we’ve never seen
Living in a Nutcracker dream scheme scene

Telescope, microscope, drums and guns
The fun let in… imagination runs
I suppose it matters in every way
The giving… the loving… on Christmas Day

LYRICS
If you’re feeling all alone at Christmas
Feelings for all the people you miss
Please remember you’re never alone
Wherever you are… you’re at home

Please remember you’re never alone

If you’re feeling blue… another year anew
Feeling life is slipping away… you’re blue
Please remember how much you’re loved
Embrace now so there’s no regret of “could’ve”

Breath in deep the Christmas spirit
Not just today but all year… keep near it
Please remember wherever you roam
Where ever… you’re never alone

We three kings travel as far
Under the direction of the brightest star

Have you heard what I’ve heard
Shepherds herd shepherds
Under the direction of an angel’s angle

Under the light of the brightest star —
The sun

Have you heard what I’ve heard
Shepherds herd shepherds
Under the direction of an angel’s agent

LYRICS
I heard the first snowflake fell
You could tell from the children’s yell
Feeling swell takin’ in the Christmas smell
You can smell the season in the air
Awash with the waft of love and care

I heard of heaven and hell
Could all be a matter of, “Oh, well.”
There is one easy way to tell
Can you smell the season in the air?
Awake with intake of love and care

You can smell it in the air
Once you become aware
Finding joy everywhere

Gonna ride the yuletide cheer

Born in that year

LYRICS
If I were stranded
On a deserted island
I supposed it’d be re-branded
To the dance I land
Set soul’s sail
Let vocals wail
To the third-eye land

The 3rd island from the sun
The 3rd-eye land, son
I’m talkin’ ’bout
“and then sum” some

Past Mercury, Venus
Chances are
If you get to Mars
There’s been too many “too fars”

Rocking In The Free World.mp3

Intro: Em     D   C  (4x)

Em                   D   C
Colors on the street 
      Em             D   C 
Red, white and blue 
        Em           D   C 
People shufflin' their feet 
         Em                     D   C 
People sleepin' in their shoes 
                Em                  D    C
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead 
           Em                            D          C
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead 
       Em                     D     C
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them 
     Em                     D     C
So I try to forget it, any way I can. 

G       D                          C    C/B C/A G       
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
        D                          C    C/B C/A G
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
        D                          C    C/B C/A G          
Keep on rockin' in the free world,                        
        D                          C    C/B C/A G      
Keep on rockin' in the free world.                       

I see a woman in the night 
With a baby in her hand 
Under an old street light 
Near a garbage can 
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit 
She hates her life, and what she's done to it 
There's one more kid that will never go to school 
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world. 
(Bass only)      
We got a thousand points of light 
For the homeless man 
We got a kinder, gentler,  
Machine gun hand 
(Guitar starts in)
We got department stores and toilet paper 
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer 
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive 
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
