LYRICS
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

Can a color be ugly
Let’s look and see
Are your guts pretty
As pretty as can be

Have you ever looked within your skin
What are the tales of your entrails
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

How can you suggest
A color’s the ugliest
If you don’t mind
Being color blind
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

Look inside and see what you see
Are your guts pretty
As pretty as can be
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets. Recorded in Chester County, West Chester, PA.

Opaque Couché
Opaque Couché

The song is about a study of the ugliest color: “The agency GfK asked a thousand smokers which colour they found most visually offensive, with a view to covering cigarette packets with it. Pantone 448C, or opaque couché came out top. Respondents associated the colour with “dirty”, “death”, and “tar”.”  Well, before you call a color ugly, look at the color of your insides.

LYRICS
Won’t you
Or can’t you
Give love a chance

If you want your life to be won
Then come on, come on! Let’s run
With a glistening glance
I in the eye
Give love a chance

Could you
Or would you
Give love a chance

It will thrill you
Give love a chance

LYRICS
Amazed at these days
In so many ways
These are the days that amaze
The day amazes
Amaze the days

In a daze?
These days amaze

As my fellows wallow in the shadows
Wandering… waiting… wasting… days
These are the days that amaze
I see
It amazes me
The notion “to be”

Only so many ways
To while away your days
’till ashes are ashes and dust is dust
Why “must”
Is that how you see your destiny
Is that how you IS turns to WAS

LYRICS
Is this the season…
Season of reason
Will the age of logic
Come on quick
Then, this is the dangerous part
Can we bring it from the heart

Is this the time
Of the greatest crime
Is this our
Dire hour
Then, this is the dangerous part
Can we bring it from the heart

Is this the moment
Of our judgement
Is this the day
Our dues we pay
Then, this is the dangerous part
Can we bring it from the heart

Why didn’t you bother
Saying that

Just add another

In the first place
Allowed to smother

Hmmm… I was approached by another GOOD cop today. That makes two… now, I don’t know what to do. How do you write a song about good cops? This is virgin territory for me. The working title is Peoplesmith. A “smith” is an artisan or craftsman. A goldsmith is a metalworker who specializes in working with gold and other precious metals. A Peoplesmith is a craftsman that works with people.

Make ’em run from your gun
Guillotine’s razor
If ya catch ’em havin’ fun

Treat ’em rough n’ handcuff
No cutting slack
Or “call your bluff” stuff
So, ya think might makes right?

Hit the deck, cover, duck!

LYRICS
Do you want to look like a fool
Better stop being cruel

Time to stop playing the fool
Perhaps it’s time for school
It’s time for school

It’s time to stop
Please stop
Being the fool
Being a tool
Being the tool fool

I got some sort of alias
Slapped on me be some sort of smacked ass
Yo you’ve got to stow the lack of “I don’t know”

Time to grow
I’d like to know
If we’re going to grow
’cause right now I feel kind of sick
Septic
As in septic sick
Stuck in some sort of cesspool
With some sort of fool
Trying to take me down
Trying to drown

Er, a… I wasn’t prepared to drown
Much better to tread water
Learn how to swim… I am.
