LYRICS
Living incognito
Non in cog
Not neat, oh!
Not none
Deadbeat
Pretty soon
Out of the cocoon
Free to be
Fly as I try
No another cog in the sprocket
Forget it
Forgot it

LYRICS
Stepping outside to take a look
At the cover on this book
Try to understand
What’s in this man
What was, is, and going to be…
Me (me, me, me)
It’s time to judge this book
By its cover
(Take a look)
Uncover
Discover
I know underneath
Bones and teeth
Under skin and bone
Undercover is alone
Blood n’ guts…
… n’ nuts
(Going nuts)
Stepping outside to take a look
At the cover on this book

Forgot to get off in time
I’m thinking…
I’m along for the ride
Best to hop off
If there’s a next stop

LYRICS
I’m dreaming
… dreaming of…
I’m dreaming of love
In a black and white Christmas
The pace of the race
Together forever
Embrace
The sight of black and white
The “religions of the book”
Take a look
Straight back through:
“The King of the Jews”
Mohamed, Jesus, Moses in black and white
A black and white Christmas

LYRICS
Roll up
Sit back
It’s a hell of a show
Rock on
Blow up
A political hoe
Digging dirt
Rigging hurt

Digging dirt
Rigging hurt

Digging in the dirt
Digging up the dirt
Pigging out the hurt

bookmark_borderFractals Falling

LYRICS
The fractals are falling
Wonder if they’ll lay?
Even a light dusting
Would be OK
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

The snowballs are flying
Better duck and/or sway
The wind blow is drifting
The fractals disarray
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

The runners are gliding
We’re on our way
The bonfire is burning
On a waning winters day
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

Traditional English Carol

    Em                            C              B7
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
    Em                           C              B7
For Jesus Christ our Saviour was born upon this day
   Am               G                  Em            D
To save us all from Satan's pow'r when we were gone astray
  G          B7          Em               D
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
  G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly Father a blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway this blessed Babe to find
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

But when to Bethlehem they came whereat this Infant lay
They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling unto the Lord did pray

Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas all other doth deface

Going out on…
Going out on…
Going out on a limb
But, if you were him

Baked in the cake
Baby comes tumblin’, tumblin’ down

Needed time for my head
After what you said
Needed time for my head

Bled out the red

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
A smother of brother on brother
(Oh, brother!)

A simple soul

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
The hostility in humanity

LYRICS
Maybe a fire will help inspire
As song for a sing-a-long
We can sit close and rub our noses
Under the mistletoe practicing poses
A Christmas picture
For our future
… to endure

Sit by the fire
Take spirits higher
Sing a long
To our song
Wrapping gifts
Gives a lift
Thought of snow and memory drift
A Christmas picture
Of our future
… to endure
