Our Country Cause Of We.mp3

LYRICS
Looking around me, I must confess…
I must confess
We’ve made a mess
Focusing to see, the giant mess…
A giant mess
We need address

Chorus
We’re clogging up and hogging up
’till we fail the test
We’re chocking up… lack of mopping up
’till the rest ain’t left

Asking around me, I try to digest
I try to digest
Why not the best?
Trying to see, why we digress
Why we digress
We could care less

Chorus

Chorus
Girl or no girl
My heart is split apart

Far away

When things would go… go my way
Now the world’s… the world’s my pearl
Not gonna be a bug on the grill

And, I live by myself for a while
Finally, my face wear’s a great big smile

Will make me squirm or squirrel

Girl or no girl
My life is split apart
Girl or no girl
My life is going to start
Today

When the sky turns shades of gray
From slate to goose
It’s time to say,
“Let mental nimbleness on the loose!”

When there’s such a fine line
Between right and wrong
It’s time to find
A heartfelt love song

When the sky turns shades of gray
From goose to slate
It’s time to play
Role of the intelligent primate

LYRICS
What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
(Adjusted attitude)
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

LYRICS
If you’re having trouble finding a trace
Of humane in the human race
What’s you really need’s an embrace

Come to me
I will come to you
Put our arms around each other…
Put our arms around each other
For at least a minute or two

If you wish war would disarm
You feel the environment sound the alarm
What’s you really need’s to inarm

Be bold told enfold
Please give me a squeeze

If you’re having trouble finding a trace
Of humane in the human race
What’s you really need’s an embrace

If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
Do you think the sky is falling to the ground
All around?
Well, it wasn’t a quiz… ’cause it is

Falling all around
It’s falling to the ground
A million square feet of glass
Does not pass through humans so swell
Oh, well?

If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
’cause you think the sky is falling
Well, you passed the quiz
’cause it is
It’s falling all around
To the ground

Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
A million square feet of glass
A thousand people it could not pass
Asteroid to meteoroid
Enter the atmosphere
Raking fear on anyone near
Oh, dear!

LYRICS

Where did the love go?

Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go?
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go?

Throughout all of time
Goodness shall outshine
Instead of me and mine
We’re in the hour of our
In the era of our
Era of our hour
Our era hour

Where did the love go? (Right here!)

Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)

Where did the love go?
Right here.

LYRICS
Do you remember?

Climbing on my shoulders
Riding on my back
Kissing by the boulders
Sitting on my lap

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Looking down from heaven
Do you remember?
Do you remember… living in days like these

With God’s grace given
I do remember.
I do remember… the memories please

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Here we are holding hands
Who would ever understand?
That you could fulfill
That someday you will fulfill
That this day you can still fulfill

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Em
G Am D G

Written in Chester County, Pennsylvania and captured as a digital, stereo, extemporaneous recording. Demo MP3 is 1 track. Video is 6-tracks.

This song was inspired by one of my first girlfriends, Janet Welch of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I sat down to write a song about Valentine’s Day and just started playing about love. This is what came out.

We were in high school… passing notes and falling in love. We made what I considered a great bet. She lost the bet; however, before she could fulfill her end of the bargain, she died in a car crash. Does a spirit live on?

You’re a monster

You’re a monster
In everything you do
You do, you do
In everything you will
You will, you will
You can’t help
You’re a monster

You’re larger than life
You can play the bass
Like a monster
You can sing
Like nothing
Or, everything
Certainly something
Why did you say nothing?
Like nothing else compares

You’re a monster

You Are A Monster.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Gm F G A Am

Written in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Digital, 1-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. This song was inspired by friend Rick Reinhart calling me a monster (in a good way.) It made me think of my analogy the “Friendly Dragon”.  A friendly dragon walked into the main street street of a village. The people on the left side of the street saw him and started screaming in terror. When the dragon turned to comfort the paniced people, his tail swung around and destroyed the right side of the village. Moral: be careful with your power even if your intentions are good.
