bookmark_borderBrian’s Song (For Gay Church)

This song was written and recorded by Brian Goslin the day he was wrongfully arrested for violating the noise ordinance of West Chester Borough. The board mix is compared and contrasted with the street mix to prove it is impossible for a musician playing acoustic guitar to play loader than ambient noise.

bookmark_borderDub C PD (West Chester Police Department)

A song about 3 bad cops (people engaged in illegal behavior) in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and the crimes they’ve committed:
Patrolman Albert McCarthy Jr.
Patrolman Gregory M. Cugino
Corporal Joshua Lee

LYRICS
It’s a sad state of affairs
… a sad state of affairs

It’s a sad state of affairs
When nobody cares…
… a sad state of affairs

It’s a sad state of affairs
Come-to-life nightmares
… a sad state of affairs

Trying to bring justice with moronic spite
If you ask me, that just ain’t right
Hate crimes? Sometimes
And other felonies pursue
If your not careful… they’ll beat their law into you

It’s a sad state of affairs
… a sad state of affairs
What the Dub C PD does to me
And you, too

LYRICS
Why are my mates defending the wrong goal
Heading the wrong way, we’ll suffer the toll

Hut 1, Hut 2, Hut 3, Hut 4
I don’t want to play your game any more

Hear everybody scream
“Aren’t we on the same team?”
Hear everybody shout
“Ain’t it time we found out?”

What the hell are we playing for
If we can’t score a goal any more

LYRICS
Will high noon
Come too soon
Showdown duel
Of the fool
Just another full moon fool
Just another full moon loon

As the Earth spins
Nobody wins
If we all choose
Of course to lose
Just another full moon fool
Just another full moon loon

Weigh the Milky Way
Then learn how to say
Humanity’s tool
Or… stubborn as a mule?
Just another full moon fool
Just another full moon loon

LYRICS
What is it called when you score a lucky find
When it’s evolved and more likely to be kind

When you smile like that
I just can’t hold back

What is involved when you perform a simple act
When it’s resolved and you inform the basic fact

When you smile like that
I just can’t hold back

What is it called when you do a good deed
Homeless housed and to the hungry feed

When you smile like that
I just can’t hold back

LYRICS
Between the ground a blue
Is you
As long as green can be seen
You do
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

If you’re turning red
From humiliation
Please do not dread
Your illumination
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

If you’re seeing red
From aggravation
At least you’re not dead
In Hell’s incarceration
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

When I’m covered up and all is black
I hope there’s still a chance of coming back
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

LYRICS
How long for the same old song
Any chance for a brand new dance
Tired of the groove that’s too smooth
Can you play it with a lil’ more grit
See if you can move just a bit
That’s it
Never ever gonna quit
A brand new knew
Na, na, na Knew

Swing this way you can’t go wrong
Jumping and bumping to a brand new song
Souls sooth with nothing to prove
When you play it with a lil’ more grit
Makes you move ’till throwing a fit

LYRICS
You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Days too short to abort
Feet are prancing. Spirits dancing.

You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Don’t resort to selling short
Hearts romancing. Our souls dancing.

You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Put a smile on a baby’s face
Until the world is our dancing space

LYRICS
Why don’t you be like us
Learn how to spit and cuss
Throw loved ones under the bus
Why don’t you be like us
Full of pompous puss
The feat of conceit and fuss

Quick! Avoid the clique
As he clock goes tock… and tick

Why don’t you be like us
Vain pain of gorgeous
Drain of the ignoramus
Why don’t you be like us
Greedy for famous
Won’t listen or discuss

Quick! Avoid the clique
As he clock goes tock… and tick

LYRICS
Winds like a monsoon
Blowing through
Under a bad moon
Impacting you

For those that do not yield
Level the playing field

Truly a magnificent breeze
Not every day you feel one of these

Windy like a monsoon
Minds lie a baboon

Sheer sure could blow the man down
Replace the halo with a thorny crown
