Songwriting on the “Throne” in Ambler, PA

LYRICS
Wonder what it would be like
To own a throne
Splendor spike for the psych
Crown of thorn
World is torn

Chorus
As soon as you sit your arse down
The miracles are found
Go ahead… sit your arse down
The miracles abound

Wonder what it would be like
To loan a throne
Splendor spike for the psych
I’m not alone

Chorus

Sit your buttocks down
No if, and or but… rocks sound

LYRICS
No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Nemesis hubris does pursue
The promise of the oath

Maketh me to lay down in green pasture
Pray for the calm to come faster

No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Life deceased reflects you
Can’t have one… must have both

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Thank God for every moment ’till my last final dying gasp of breath

LYRICS
If you don’t believe me
Take a look and see

From devastating
The Redwood Forest
To annihilating
The very poorest
Mass destruction
From sea sea
This land was trashed by you and me

If you don’t believe me
Take a look and see
People living happily
From resurrecting
Light in the darkest
To embracing
The very poorest
May jubilation
Setting us free
Understand peace and harmony
Understand peace between you and me

LYRICS
What makes someone act like that?
Makes ya wonder
Why someone would act like that
Why they squander
The love… when that’s where it’s at

Why do people hate and kill
Makes ya wonder
Plenty of yield to fulfill
Yet we squander
Let love cure these mentally ill

What makes someone rape and pillage
Makes ya wonder
Why someone wants the Ill Age
Why they squander
The love when that’s the courage

LYRICS
Just landed on this stage
And, it’s all the world
What planet? Say, what Age?

Is it an Age you can grow old
When a future generation can be told
Or, an Age when the arrogant’s too bold
When all our live’s expectations have been sold

Is that our world?

Is it a stage you know you can play
Where a fortune generation is to say
The way to truth when you know the way
When all our expectations unfold

Is that our world?

I’m just a foreigner passing through
Praying my days aren’t too few
I’m just a foreigner passing through
Praying to make the most of all I do

Is that our world?

Prepare to splash down!
Sure hope there’s water on mars
More than a frown
To be let down
After traveling so far

Want to hear something bizarre?
The sun’s the closest star
You’re face-to-face with an alien in space

Prepare to get down
To 30 Seconds To Mars
Kings, Queens and wars
The perfect sound
After traveling so far

Chorus

Now, up in the air
Playing drums and guitars
Perfect spot right there
The place is found
After traveling so far

Gonna go, gonna go
To the land of the double rainbow
Just follow the leprechaun
If you can

Twice as many
Pots o’ gold
Or at least

And, the people know
Did you hear
It’s right here

LYRICS
Eighty-one degrees
When you’re sitting under the trees
Not even a hint of a cool, cool breeze

Thawing the perma-freeze
Deforestation, our own worst enemy
The human blight on serenity

How long will we go on
Until we stop, stop, stop?
How long will go on
Until we drop, drop, drop?

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 3

This song is about global warming and a hot, humid day in early May. When my kids were very young, we considered buying a vacation house in Florida. I warned them that climate change would turn Pennsylvania into a Florida house by the time they had grandchildren. I was wrong. Today, Pennsylvania is turning tropical in May.

LYRICS
Starting to think
’bout being in the pink
Waist deep in Spring
Summer’s approaching

Starting to ponder
What it means to wonder
Waste deep in Spring
Summer’s sizzling in

The climate, she’s a changing
Permanent as benevolence
Stalemate forever enduring
Arrogant as irreverence

This song is about the lack of Spring caused by global warming. All the pink cherry blossoms have fallen off the trees and are about “waste deep”.

While I was writing this song, local artist John Hannafin stopped. He had painted a picture of the blossoming trees and wanted to know if he could paint me in.

LYRICS
How bad do you want it?
How hard will you strive to thrive?
Are you even alive?
Is it your spirit you’re gonna deprive?

Spending every day as though it’s your last
Is the best way to pass to the past
Filling everybody with “know” and you’ll last
As long as there’s memories to grasp

An oral tradition of endless relation revelation

If the pressure’s mounting… don’t think you’ll make it?

LYRICS
“Thank you, Sir!”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were sitting there sipping your coffee
I didn’t know if you were even aware of me
Then, when it was time for you to go
Wouldn’t you know…
You got up and said, “Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were driving down the street in your Jeep
You gave a shout out that I want to keep
Thumbs up, “Keep it up!”
“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

Thank You Sir.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by a writing session in Ambler, PA. While I was playing the guitar, there was a female sitting across the street at Maida coffee. She turned into the first verse. Then as I was writing the first verse, another female came driving by… she is the second verse. Thanks girls!

LYRICS
I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you

Form this point-of-view
It’s easy to see through
Plenty of evidence
For what it is that’s true

I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you

Will our species do
What we all need to?
Plenty of reverence
Is way, way overdue

I’m sitting on the fence
Taking in every clue
I’m sitting on the fence
Turning mystery into “knew”

repeat verses

I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you
There’s no need for defense
I have faith in the who
(That is you)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
She spent the money
You know she spent the money

So, she could hire an esquire
To acquire what the children desire to aspire

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

Way less than being funny
More akin to a pitiful soul, Honey

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

Instead of getting baby new shoes
She went to the spa and got hairdos

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

When it was time for the kids to be fed
When it was time for the kids to be bed
When it was time for the kids further Ed.
She misled with all she did and said

Going on a fancy vacation
By robbing the kids’ fund for education
Riding in a fancy automobile
Acting like a real big deal
At the expense of your offspring?
Heaven only knows what that will bring

She Spent The Money.mp3
