The Swing Of Things

Posted on August 9, 2016August 9, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
See if we’re able
We’re certainly capable
Of getting ourselves in the swing of things
… into the swing of things

See if it’s actual
That it’s factual
To get natural
Getting in the swing of things
… into the swing of things

You go to and fro
Before ya know
You’re part of the show
Feel free to join in and sing
Before ya know…
You’ll start to swing
… into the swing of things

LYRICS
Help! I heard you call my name
How can life ever be the same?

You brought me into this world
Might as well stay ’til I checkout
I rot as I grow old
Gotta fight to win this bout

Chorus

Sooner or later we’re all going to die
Later not sooner is how I’m going to try
The next time I see ya… I’d like to say “hi”
Beats tears and fears of saying “good-bye”

Shark Attack

Posted on July 21, 2015July 22, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Setting off a spark in your brain
Sensing there’s a shark in your lane
Wow! Look at him
You’d better swim
Before you’re a snack
From a shark attack

After my board started flipping
I’m ananamumana… “I am tripping”
Wow! Look at him
You’d better swim
Before you’re a snack
From a shark attack

See that fin? I’m punching in
Ensure a lesser white will win
Wow! Look at him
You’d better swim
Before you’re a snack
From a shark attack

Oh so happy! I survive
Oh so happy I’m alive

ABOUT THE SONG

Em Em7 Em7(11)

A song about “Mick Fanning: Shark Attacks Surfer During Final of J-Bay Open Competition in South Africa”. “I just saw fins. I was waiting for the teeth,” Fanning, who was not injured in the attack, told Sky News Sunday. Following the attack, the World Surf League canceled the remainder of the competition. Mick punched the shark and got away. “I’m happy to not even compete ever again,” Fanning told a reporter after he was brought back to the safety of the beach by a boat. “I just want to let all my family and friends know, I’m okay,” he said. “I’m just tripping out.”

Written and recorded under the trees in Marshall Square Park, West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

LYRICS
When you convey a smile
It travels many a mile
Then compound and compile
Everyone tunes into the dial
And, that’s when the times turn fine

You said, “Keep on playing,
I’ll just listen.”
Thanks for saying
Eyes twinkle and glisten
And, that’s when the times turn fine

Saw her tapping her toe
That’s how I know
Wished she didn’t have to go
Solace… she’ll be back, though
And, that’s when the times turn fine

ABOUT THE SONG

LYRICS
If we pick our battles like we pick our nose
Who knows where that goes

Ya might start to run
Ya might start to bleed
It’s no fun
Having to concede

Have we slipped into a rabbit hole
New Age mole… through the looking glass
Does time move pass n’ weigh too fast
Does too fast turn to wayback past

Chorus

While we have hands to have tome on our hands
Time to let loose on the command and command understand

Make Yourself At Home

Posted on May 27, 2015May 29, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
There’s a big wide world larger than me
Now that’s easy to see
Since we share this consciousness why not requiesce
And go from I to us?

How can I ever be alone
Isn’t Earth all of our home?

If we wanna claim we’re from outer space
And not part of our race
Some sort-a born again alien
Better think again
Isn’t Earth all of our home
How can I ever be alone

Its time to hunker down and then charge in
… much to their chagrin
Get together begin sporting a universal grin
How can we ever be alone
Isn’t Earth all of our home?

LYRICS
I ain’t in no need of a regiment
No fulfillment in discipline
I can walk a straight line at any time
The ability of agility… no religion

Chorus
97th Regiment
In honor of the dead
I thought we meant for a moment
Dead was something to dread?

During the war of rebellion
Son agin’ son to hell and back again
No will to be civil in war (at war)
Killin’s ill… that’s for sure

A monument to the dead
Made of stone not flesh and blood
Spilling wine and breaking bread
Bringing on the onslaught flood
