Medieval

Posted on April 12, 2014April 12, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples!
An evolution revolution
Living like we’re in Antiquity
What did we expect would be?
What did we expect we’d see?

Mid-evil?
We’re more than half way there
Medieval
The details of the devil
At this level…
Beware!

Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples!
The crumbling of the steeples

Watch “The Empire”: transpire

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 1
Am D
Am C

In European history, the Middle Ages / Medieval period, lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: Antiquity, Medieval, and Modern. The Medieval period is also subdivided into the Early, the High, and the Late Middle Ages.

Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples, which had begun in Late Antiquity, continued in the Early Middle Ages. The barbarian invaders, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
32 feet per second per second
Gravitational pull
The higher they climb
The faster they fall
Gonna be Mother Nature’s fool?

Gravitational pull — exponential

We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent

Acceleration — gravitational

Smaller steps are what you take
Walking on the Earth
For crying out loud! For goodness sake!
Be a creature… or afterbirth?

We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent

Where ever you may roam
Whichever way you go
Your heart is your home

Where ever you may start
Whatever you may know
Your home is in your heart

The love part
Is in the heart
The love part
Is in your heart

Get shot in the heart
A love injection
Get shot in the heart
Spreading like an infection
Get shot in the heart

A love laced dart
Get lanced in the heart

LYRICS
As I look up in the sky
Watching and waiting for the clouds to roll by
I wonder what shape they will take
I wonder what picture we’ll make

Just for fun
The clouds obscure the sun

As I look up… wonder why
Watching and waiting for the crowds to roll by
I wonder… for goodness sake
When will we start to quake?

Just for fun
The clouds obscure the sun

LYRICS
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice

* I’m starting to think
That won’t happen tonight
(If that’s alright?)

Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
*
Fool me one time
Fool me twice
And I’m done throwing dice
*
Fool me one time
Then do it again
It’s time for foreboding to begin

… just a warning… the dog does bite

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — E variations
B7 G A E
Slide E up and down an octave

Based on a conversations about contrails. Clouds are clouds. They are made of H2O / water. That is it. When air passes through jet engines, it creates linear clouds. There are no added chemicals… for that is not possible.

Contrails circa 2001

LYRICS
Shake your head
Get the dust our of bed
Shed your troubles
Pray it doubles

When you dance
There’s a chance
We will glance
A glimpse of reality

When you dance
There’s a chance
Non-circumstance
Is sur-reality

LYRICS
Another sea shanty that goes like this
If you’re full of vinegar and of piss
Then, come along for a ride on the high sees

Chorus
On a sea so green
Under a sky so blue
Understand what mean does mean
And how truth hold true

Stow the mizzen mast
Swab the poop deck
Storm ain’t gonna pass
Don’t wanna shipwreck

Chorus

What do you say we stowaway
For a ride on the high sees!

Coversong originally made famous by Steve Miller

I told you ’bout living in the U.S. of A.
Don’t you know that I’m a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And I’m tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin’
So I’m keepin’ on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was born on this rock
And I’ve been travelin’ through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin’ cats would do if you could
You know, I’m ready for the final surprise
There ain’t no way around it
Ain’t nothing to say
That’s gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin’ darker outside

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I don’t let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause you’re the same old story
It’s the same old crime
And you got some heavy dues to pay

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Coversong originally made famous by The Kinks

Verse:
G                                    D
I won't take all that they hand me down,

    Am                                   Em
And make out a smile, so I'll wear a frown,

    G                                      D
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down,

    Am                               Em
'Cause once I get started I go to town.

Chorus:
Em                                          D
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,

Am                             Em
I'm not like everybody else,

And I don't want to walk about like everybody else,

Em                                                       D         Am

And I won't say that I'm confined like everybody else,

(Am)                                       Em
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,

Not behind your behind
I want to face your face

Just catching the tail end of the tale’s end
What message do we send
Just wishing the ail end of the whale’s end

I want to trace your face
Not behind the behind
W ant to pace the race

But, I feel like I’m talking to your butt

LYRICS
Start the day in the usual way
Somewhere, somehow it goes astray
Will today be the day
The weak and innocent are O.K.?

All I can say
Hope help is on the way

Going through the day, I say,
“Somewhere, someone diminish dismay”
May it be me, I pray
The meek and decent are O.K.

All I can say
Hope help is on the way

Winding down to the end of the day
What on Earth have you to say
For how the kingdom should pay
Inherit the Earth? Well, O.K.!

All I can say
Help is on the way

You Are Never Alone On Christmas

Posted on December 25, 2013December 25, 2013 by admin

(The Grinch That Stole The Christmas Blues)

LYRICS
You’re never alone on Christmas
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Feeling lonely is only if you miss
The essence of the Christmas presence

Let’s figure it out?
The love will always be there, I swear
As long as there’s someone…
As long as there’s anyone…
As long as someone cares
That someone could be you
Lord, lordy, Lord, Lord, lordy
Lord, with you…. make two
And, as far as I can see
There’s me
(… that’s three…)
For crying out loud — A CROWD!

Singing Merry Christmas, Almighty
Bless you for taking pity
And, keeping me company
