Livin’ In Heaven

Posted on April 25, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
It’s been said that this life I’ve been given
That this life is heaven
Livin’ in heaven

I’m livin’ in heaven

The question remains have learned to be giving
This life that I’m living
Have I been giving
This life that I’m living
Is livin’ in heaven

While livin’ this life I’ve been given
Got to keep believin’
Or well
Do you want to live in hell?
This life I’ve been givin’
Livin’ in heaven

This life I’ve been givin’
Gonna Live it in heaven

Plucking Petals

Posted on April 25, 2016April 25, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
For days and days
With ease
I’m plucking petals from daisies
With ease

Plucking petals from a daisy
Getting a little dizzy
Going round and round and round
Round and round
’til there’s none to be found

Plucking petals
Plucking petals
Plucking petals from daisies

She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me

Plucking petals

Going round and round and round
Until there’s none to be found
Plucking petals
From a daisy

Just maybe
She’ll notice me
Just maybe
We’ll see

This might
Be love at first sight
It could happen tonight

Plucking petals

LYRICS
This is fantastic
Please pardon me if you see me as being spastic
It’s just that this is sooo fantastic
My new face is made of plastic
And my, oh, my
I don’t even have to try
To smile
All the while
’cause my new face is plastic
In disguise to other eyes
The Joker

This is so fantastic
So if I’m coming off as spastic
I just want you to know it’s because this is so fantastic

And, then I started to realize instead of my face being elastic
Or worse yet of plastic
I try to get my mind to be more kind
More elastic
Less spastic

This is fantastic
It’s like magic
With a little bit of mystic
It all comes on so quick
Once you have an elastic mind
Find it natural to be kind
You find it kind

Fantastic.mp3

Good God!

Posted on April 5, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Good God!
Then the great God came down from the sky
And said, “Why?”
You’re takers not givers
You posers are losers

Time to act together
Get your act together

Somehow you have to figure out how
The time is now

Good God!
Great God in heaven
Had to come down and teach us a lesson
The great God came down… descended
Wondering why one species hasn’t blended
Had to be amended
A men did
Amen

We’re gathered here today before our Lord God because our behavior’s been too odd
Now, in a nod to sanity
I give you the Great Divinity

Good God.mp3

Danger Us

Posted on April 3, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
It’s looking a little dangerous
For all of us

It’s looking a little dangerous
For all of us

Soon enough
You’ll discover why the fuss
’cause it’s dangerous
For all of us

It’s getting a little too dangerous
I think we’re on the cusp

You say why the rush… why the fuss
I’m telling ya… it’s dangerous
For all of us

Perhaps we had better focus
On what’s ahead of us
On what’s confronting us
Before we’re thrown under the bus
Ya know… before we pop like a pimple’s puss
Implode, explode in the commode
Going round and round and down and round
A royal flush
Hush, hush, hush

Dangerous, dangerous
Dangerous for all of us
Both of us
Me and you
Everybody that’s around, too
If you are within listening distance
And you can hear what I have to say
Well, this could be the day
It’s dangerous for all of us
Before somebody pulls the plug
A big group hug

SOS (I Guess)

Posted on March 30, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Look and see…
Headed into uncharged territory

Unknown waters
Treading in unknown waters
Better protect your daughters
May go black in whitewaters

Uncharted territory
The predatory tear you to purgatory
Can you pray to your God to save me
You swear your God has mercy
Can you pray to save us
SOS…
SOS, I guess

Uncharted territory
May go down in a blaze of glory
What’s the moral of our story?

Louie Louie

Posted on March 30, 2016 by admin

“Louie Louie” is an American rhythm and blues song written by Richard Berry in 1955 and best known for the 1963 hit version by the Kingsmen. It has become a standard in pop and rock, with hundreds of versions recorded by different artists. The song was originally written and performed in the style of a Jamaican ballad. It tells, in simple verse–chorus form, the first-person story of a Jamaican sailor returning to the island to see his lady love.

A     D      Em D     A          D  Em  D
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go. 
A     D      Em D     A          D  Em  D
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go. 

  A    D         Em         D                       
A fine girl, who waited for me. 
  A       D     Em        D                       
I catch a ship across the sea. 
  A          D    Em   D                       
I sailed the ship all alone. 
  A        D              Em      D                       
I wondered when I'm gonna make it home. 

Chorus

      A          D      Em         D                           
Three nights and days I sailed the sea. 
  A            D    Em      D                       
I think of the girl constantly. 
A      D       Em        D                       
On the ship, I dream she there. 
  A         D           Em     D                       
I smell the rose that's in her hair. 
Chorus

  A     D      Em    D                       
I see Jamaican moon above. 
A       D        Em       D                       
See the girl I'm thinking of.
  A        D     Em       D                       
I take her in my arms and then 
A        D     Em     D                       
Say I'll never leave again.

Sloop John B

Posted on March 30, 2016 by admin

“Sloop John B” is a traditional folk song from the Bahamas, “The John B. Sails”, which was included in Carl Sandburg’s 1927 collection of folk songs The American Songbag. It is best known for its folk rock adaptation by the Beach Boys.

(G) 
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me     (D)
Around Nassau town we did roam
             (G)
Drinking all night
           (C)
Got into a fight
        (G)
Well I feel so broke up
(D)          (G)
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets              (D)
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
           (G)            (C)
I wanna go home, let me go home
  (G)                    (D)        (G)
Well, I feel so broke up I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
Chorus

The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

I want you to
Do you want to, too

Humor Me

Posted on March 22, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Have you developed a tumor
Seemed to have lost your sense of humor
When you’re thinking funny
The skies are sunny [milk and honey… birds sing and things]
Would you rather be in a tomb, or
Have a sense of humor
[laughter / instrumental]

Even if you’re a late bloomer
Get a sense of humor
It’s more than a rumor
Fountain of youth is a sense of humor
Have you developed a funny bone?
Now we’re coming home

In The Dark

Posted on March 20, 2016March 20, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Hope I don’t fall or hit the wall
As I embark
Hope I don’t fall or hit the wall
Stumbling in the dark

Maybe I should have stayed in bed
Then run the risk of hitting my head
Better off risking that my head bled
Then to wake up finding everyone dead

Stumbling, fumbling, searching
In the dark
Searching for light in the dark
A little flicker… do you know the glow?
Some sort-of spark

Becoming the welder’s arc
Building in the dark
Love seldom leaves a mark
When lighting up the dark
