Season Of The Witch

Posted on October 31, 2015October 31, 2015 by admin

Cover song originally written and made famous by Donovan.

LYRICS
When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
That it’s strange
So strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
Mmmm, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch

When I look over my shoulder
What do you think I see?
Some other cat lookin’ over
His shoulder at me
And he’s strange
Sure is strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch, yeah
Beatniks are out to make it rich
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch

You got to pick up every stitch
The rabbits runnin’ in the ditch
Beatniks out to make it rich
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch

When I look out my window
What do you think I see?
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
It’s strange
Sure is strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
The rabbit’s runnin’ in the ditch
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch

LYRICS
Glad you made it to my gig
So happy to see you jig
No. Don’t choose sorrow
Not today… not tomorrow

The smile on your face
The gleam in your eye
Bring joy to the place
Don’t need to try

Kathleen, what you bring to the scene
Kathleen, do you know what I mean

Invite me in to have some fun
Show compassion… and then some

Monkey Around

Posted on October 6, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
There’s a monkey in the circus
And he’s dressed like us
There’s a monkey in the circus
And he walks like us
There’s a monkey in the circus
Reminds us of us
(a little too much like us)

There’s a lion in the zoo
Thinks he’s king of us, too
There’s a lion in the zoo
But he’s caged like us, too
There’s a lion in the zoo
Are we lying to ourselves, too?

There’s a man in our home
So we’re not alone
There’s a man in our home
Saying it ain’t ours to own
There’s a man in our home
Turns out I’m his clone
There’s a man in our home
Guess I’m not alone

The Boy in the Plastic Bubble

Posted on February 18, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Living in a bubble
Afraid of our rubble

To be Tod Lubitch must be a real …. switch
Are we able to deal
Living our lives in an incubator
Human impersonator
Step out of the bubble
Own our rubble

“… he steps outside his house, unprotected, and rides off on her horse.”
(of course… into the sunset… you bet!)

unprotected, effected, projected, affected, connected
Doing the unexpected
Step out of the bubble
Own our rubble
Gonna stay a mess unless we redress

World Turning

Posted on February 18, 2015February 18, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Is the world still turning
Is the sun still burning
Is it time to get on with it
Time to move on a bit?
… world still turning
… sun still burning

Unless we tame this trouble
The trouble is likely to double
Unless the human gets humble
Civilization’s likely to crumble

Our error on terror… terrible
The terror of our error incredible
Instead of our babble and mumble
Recognition of our stumble

St. Gertrude Battle Hymn

Posted on February 16, 2015February 17, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Sound off,
1, 2
Sound off,
2, 3
Another killing spree
Sound off, 1, 2… Sound off, 3, 4… Sound off, 1, 2, 3, 4
Time to kill some more

Onward Jewish, onward Muslim, onward Christian soldiers
Marching, marching, marching as to war

“Ain’t no use in going home; Jody’s got your girl and gone. Ain’t no use in feeling blue; Jody’s got your sister, too. Ain’t no use in lookin’ back; Jody’s got your Cadillac…”

Add additional cadence calls as is appropriate for your audience. Call and response should reflect a similar satirical look at “hopelessness”, “suicide soldier” and “kamikaze” attitudes.

ABOUT THE SONG
A A7/Aadd9
E G A C

Inspired by 1) today’s War of the Religions of the Book (Judaism, Islamism, Christianity)
2) “Onward, Christian Soldiers”, a 19th-century English hymn. Onward, Christian Soldiers was written as a processional hymn for children walking from Horbury Bridge to Horbury St Peter’s Church near Wakefield, Yorkshire, at Whitsuntide in 1865. It was originally entitled, “Hymn for Procession with Cross and Banners.”
3) Military cadence — a traditional call-and-response work song sung by military personnel while running or marching. In the United States, these cadences are sometimes called jody calls or jodies, after Jody, a recurring character who figures in some traditional cadences.

Boogie Woogie Blues

LYRICS
Don’t you worry about your dancing shoes
No matter how ya hoof it you can’t loose
Dancing and singing the boogie woogie blues

How can you turn the page living in the digital age
Look out find music as your sage
True is what true is dancing the boogie woogie blues
You can’t loose with the boogie woogie blues

When Eden’s fruit falls from the tree
It doesn’t blemish… it doesn’t bruise
Oh, can’t you seeeeeee…
Listening and dancing the boogie woogie blues

Everyday

Posted on February 16, 2015February 17, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Always living like it’s my last day
You know in some way
We’re all going to leave this rat race in dismay

Not slowly in pain I pray
Or too soon cutting in on my play
Any way…

Never know if it’s your last day
No need to wonder
We all end up six feet under

Wanna be a dread ’till dead
Push comes to shove I’d rather love
Keep the Reaper at bay

Gonna live to the fullest each and every day
What did Neil say?
Heard Old Neil talk about ‘er… thought I heard Neil say…
Better to burn out than fade away?
I hope Neil Young does remember… mankind needed him ’round anyway

LYRICS
It’s a long way
(Not such a long way)

Call: It’s a long way
Response: Can’t you feel it coming
Call: It’s a long way
Response: Can’t you see it coming

Close to the end of the edge
Close to the endge

Yes you! In the end, the love you give… and then some/sum, too

Go your way
Hey, hey, hey
You can go our own way
The prophets say, “Go your way!”

In hindsight, there was a tid-bit of Fleetwood Mac and Yes influence… but for the most part this is an impromptu spiritual.

In One Ear

Posted on February 13, 2015February 13, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
It goes in one ear and right out the other
You growing tatters in there?
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Or, are you unaware
Do you even care
If it’s in error

It goes in one ear and right out the other
Hear what’s goin’ on here?
Sister, brother…
Friends and neighbors lend me an ear
It’s very clear
Truth’s drawing near

LYRICS
What do you know about that?
Sly fox writes the rules in the rabbit habitat

Chorus
As for man, do you know
What is our part (2) All if and but (3) If he even tries
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
How far will we all go
Astray at heart (2) With glutton gut (3) With mesmerize eyes
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow

What do you know about that?
The King Of Beasts takes least compared to our feast

Chorus

What do you know about that?
The vulture only fine dines on the afterdeath of culture

Chorus

This song was inspired by a fox living in the backyard, the rabbit that use to live in the backyard… and, a turkey vulture flying overhead. (We don’t have a lion. I just added that in for fun.)
