LYRICS
You were such a sweet baby
No question. Not a maybe.
Now, you’ve grown inot a lady
Moments turn to memories
A day to a year
Don’t let time
Separate near
You’re here
It’s the time of your life
You’re here
There is no grief
Suspend disbelief

LYRICS
There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin

Scent of sea breeze
Touch a memory
Forecast a dream
Spirit team
There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining
There’s no denying dieing
Might as well take it all in

LYRICS
I’m whistling with you
I’m smiling at you
Irresistible
The feeling surrounds you
Quintessential
To be the Queen Bee
If you strive for the hive
We’ll do more than survive
We’ll thrive
For those who want to derail
Take our train from the tracks
Exhale
Relax
Less the swarm harm
Try to chill your will
Stand still
Don’t sound the alarm
After all, what is your aim? To tame?

ABOUT THIS SONG
A (fingered)
Em
Em / G
Written and recorded on June 9, 2012 as an accident occurred right in front of me in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The mean has to do with a train coming off the tracks in the middle of a bee hive as compared to the human race.
LYRICS
Though an optimist
I must admit
Some situations on Earth
Are bleak
We forgot to care
For the meek
Now, the social justification
That I did fear
Is much closer
Than just near
Radiate.
Be intimate
Transfer
With Her
Mother of the Earth
Give birth
Bring forth
Bring it down from on above
Radiate
Be intimate
Love

I won’t tell you no more
At any rate, you’re probably right

Environment
So, of all these things you abhor
I won’t tell you
No more
For self-wealth
Memory it yourself
I ain’t your Mama
Don’t need the drama
I won’t tell you
No more

LYRICS
What’s all the rigamarole?
Diggin’ a hole with the mole?
What’s the ruckus
Throwing humanity under the bus?
What’s all the rigamarole
Don’t ya know
The story has a morale
The door
You slam it?
Damn it!
All for all
It’s a rigamarole
It’s a rigamarole
Shake off your Rigor mortis
Build the human fortress
For us
The children of the children’s children’s
Enough immoral shenanigans
Join the rigamarole
For all

LYRICS
The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit
The graduate
Rung by rung
The world’s stage
Your skit
The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit
The ruler of time
Measures your age
The impact you make
Whether you’re a hit
The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit
The ruler of time
Deems you — sage
The more you create
The brighter you lit
The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit
ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 5
Play Em Am7 D
Written at Virginia Tech on graduation day 2012… as I watched people in cap and gown getting down.
LYRICS
The most I’ve ever seen Spring
Look like fall
When birth is death
It can’t be good at all
The perplexing thing
We can’t crawl
Let alone baby steps
As we clone and postpone
Rippin’ our lungs out
With ozone
While we raged
God wept
Our conscious slept
We’re the ones… that should have been caged

Written on April 29, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
The song was motivated by the color of the landscape. Instead of the trees looking like they were coming to life in the springtime, they appeared to be dying as if it were fall.

LYRICS
Dum, dum, do, deo, do, de, do, dum… dum
At the time, you know the time
and, by the way, on the day
Almost like you can smell it in the air
They set the verse to rhyme
Then, there
They strum
They drum
Rhythm is born and then bears a vibration
ABOUT
The song was written at 4:20 on 4-20-2012 at a reggae music festival, Wall Street International, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
LYRICS
You! Yes, you.
You’re on the verge of…
[And, I’m realizing
Your victimizing
Puts all on the verge…
We’re on the fringe of violence
Looks like I’ll have to pass you by (sigh!)
Sirens screaming
Distraction leaning
Toward anarchy
A cryin’ shame
We’re to blame
For not takin’ care of our own
Opportunity blown
We crush the lush
Then, try n’ hush
The harm…
Reason for alarm

ABOUT
Written and recorded in April 2012
The original idea came from feeling hatred from another as I watched them pass by in West Chester, PA. The more intelligent part was inspired from feeling love on the streets of Ambler, PA. The one line about taking care of our own is a protest to a Bruce Springsteen… because, we ain’t done a very good job of taking care of humans, have we?

Bringing The Love Along (Free .MP3 Music Download)
LYRICS
I’ve been sleeping with Mother Nature
In a state all natural
She keeps asking questions…
… with answers unsure
She wants to know
When I go…
… to sleep with Her for eternity
What I think I can bring
So, I’ve been coming to some realizations
“You can’t take it with you”
I ask, “What about money, jewels and land?”
She says, “Don’t you understand?
That’s the thing…
You can’t take it with you”
Then, she snuggled up and whispered in my ear,
“There is one thing you can take from here.
You can bring the love you create
To make music beyond Heaven’s Gate
The beauty of our new reality
Bring along the love
Bringing the love along for song

LYRICS
Major Tom,
What went wrong?
Did you song
Get eatin’ by the machine?
No need to punish your ma
Do you know what I mean?
Bring out your do ra me fa
Chances are you’ll go far
Come clean from the obscene
Dance with a star
You know?
Shakin’ like tremolo
Moving in stereo
(Life’s the same
It’s inside of you
It’s all about you
It’s within and without)
Life’s the same
If you’re lame
Life will never be the same
Now, I know the game
Been moved by stereo
Welcome — The New Beauty Machine.
Welcome. Now, we’re the machine
A song inspired by David Bowie, Pink Floyd and The Cars.
Em / C / Am

1. Wowwwww… the wind blew hard
When I started thinking of you
Though, there your are
Only yards away
2. The chill you sent up my spine
Must not have been you at all
As it was divine
And, you know my position on the divinity of humanity
[Repeat 1 and add:]
Just yards away
Backyards. Frontyards.
Sidewards sideyards
Just yards away
But ya know the feeling,
Will I ever be close to you?
ABOUT THIS SONG
Sometimes you think you want to be close to someone, but then you think, “Do I really want that person to be close to me?” Then, I think to myself… perhaps it is best to start by being close to God. Then, you don’t have to worry about the other person’s imperfections getting on your nerves? 🙂

I could see
He saw
But, I still couldn’t be sure
If his behavior
Would be peculiar
Will he steer clear?
The fear of those
Not responsible for their own actions
That is
Ornery omnivore -itis
Causing my selfish-homosapien -ophobia
Let’s turn the nightmare
Into our day’s dream
Anti-Anthropophobia
In a social utopia
