LYRICS
There’s a love that I know
It’s starting to grow
There’s a love that I grow
Lord, please let it show

I’ve been racking my brain
Over your sweet refrain
Gonna drive me insane
If it goes inane

Chorus

I’ve been tracing my thought
Over why and why not
Should the battle be fought
Live, liberty, happiness is a lot

Chorus

bookmark_borderThe But, Butt Song

LYRICS
Here comes one walkin’ the dog
There’s one struttin’ outta the fog
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle a little bit
But, but, but, but, but, butt

People to the left
Talkin’bout black
People to the right
Talkin’bout white
Are people deft
On the attack
In spite of spite
Move to all right, alright?!?!

From the feet up the leg
Or, the head down the back
For more n’ more n’ more I beg
You know I love. A natural fact

People to the left
Talkin’bout black
People to the right
Talkin’bout white
From the feet up the leg
Or, the head down the back
We meet at the butt, but…
Sorry, I didn’t mean to make an ass of myself

Chords — Capo 2
Em walked down from top

A 1-track stereo recording made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song was inspired while sitting on the wall of the Courthouse and writing music. A couple young black “rappers” came and sat next to me on my left. Then, a white “cowboy” came and stood to my right. While I played the guitar, they started rapping back and forth at/with each other; however, despite our differences, we all agreed about the anatomy of the females that were walking by.

LYRICS
Come on, come on, come on
The bands already on stage
Time to, time to, time to
Let the animals outta their cage

Chorus
We’re going to a party tonight
So far, the day’s been outta sight
We’re talkin’ more than alright
In fact, it’s been a party all day
Wouldn’t cha, wouldn’t cha, wouldn’t cha say

Come on, come on, come on
Like children let us engage
No time to, no time to, no time to
Start acting your age

Chorus

Somehow, somehow, somehow
This is totally nuts right now
Anyhow, anyhow, anyhow
I’m speechless… like wow

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E B

A 1-track stereo recording made in the USA (Ambler, Montgomery County and West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song was inspired by a new friend, Adam. He heard me writing the music to this song while playing acoustic guitar on the streets of Ambler, PA. First, he just stood there in awe. I stopped playing and introduced myself. He got on the Internet and checked KingArthur.com. That’s when Adam said, “This is totally nuts right now!”

PART 1
In the solidarity of your solitude
Will you find
More than rhyme
In the solidarity of your solitude
Will it come back
You were just a little too rude

Will you blame it on the moon
Will you say your time came too soon
Can you say your time came too soon

Solidarity Of Your Solitude Part 1.mp3

PART 2
In the solidarity of your solitude
If you lock yourself in a closet
In some sort of insane, crazy bet
That you’ve come to regret
It’s not to hard to open the door

Turns out your solitude
Has nothing to do with being rude
This question.. this inquisition
You must ask yourself
That it was never your intention to be rude
Then you should move on and begin
Just like you know you could
Don’t let them get you down
You’ve got to keep on keeping on
’cause there’s people like me
That are glad you’re around

LYRICS
Going, going, going to extremes

One minute it’s hot
The next it’s not

Going, going, going to extremes

One day it snows
The next… who knows

Going, going, going to extremes

It’s not whether there’s gonna be weather
It’s whether we’ll weather the weather

Going, going, going to extremes

After floods dry out
No doubt a drought

Going, going, going to extremes

What do you know
There goes a tornado

Going, going, going to extremes

Some sort of insane
Hurricane

Going, going, going to extremes

Hell, is that hail?
My head’s too frail

Pretty soon a foreign typhoon
Rain of monsoon

Going, going, going to extremes

The answer’s blowin’ in the wind

Once again, the boar is at war

When done with their theft
There’ll be nothing left

Once again, the hog exploits the cog

New happening… the pig ain’t so big

LYRICS
It sucks when you’re living in a swamp
Yet, it seems that’s what we want
When confronted with the taste of our waste
We throw a fit over our own shit
And cry, and rant, and stomp

More coal and oil until we spoil
Yes, it seems that’s what we want
When confronted with the wast of our taste
We recoil and start to boil

Blowin’ methane and monoxides sky high
Patience of the temperate… we try

Sucks livin’ in a swamp

Where do you find beauty?
Is it in your comfort?
If you seek you must confront,
The demons in your body

Chorus
What the heck…
I see it in the crape of your neck
Down the small of your back
… and back
Are you sensitive behind your knee
… let’s see
Can I find your soul
In your sole?

Bathing in the light
Basking at the sight
How do I find beauty
Let me count the ways
With this view that I see
We could be here for days

Exposing your inner terrors

My favorite star
You shine like the sun
Though nearest… yet so far
You are the same and one

We know without you we can’t grow
Though trite… you are The Light

No matter seed or womb
We start and end in a tomb
While in between
You sprout out “green”
Then, you bloom
