LYRICS
Half past eleven
Going on midnight
Bringing on heaven
The devil’s delight
Sometimes I wonder aloud / out loud
Are we too, too proud?
(Till poof! But, a could)

Quarter of twelve
Going on midnight
The depths we’ll delve
The devil’s delight
Sometimes I wonder aloud / out loud
Are we too, too proud?
(Till poof! But, a could)

Last of eleven
Going on midnight
Bringing on heaven
The devil’s delight
Sometimes I wonder aloud / out loud
Are we too, too proud?
(Till poof! But, a could)

LYRICS
We’ve been here before
Let’s go try next door
We’ll see what they’ve got
I mean… why? Why Not?

Rotten to the core
Let’s go try next door
We’ll see what they’ve got
I mean… why? Why Not?

Isn’t there more
Not more blood, guts, and gore
Let’s go try next door
We’ll see what they’ve got
I mean… why? Why Not?

LYRICS
I don’t know
Thought I knew what we’re going to do
I don’t know
If we have thought this through
Now, we’re an object in motion
Subject to our own friction

I don’t know
Thought I knew where we’re headed to
I don’t know
If we have thought this through
Now, we’re an object in motion
Subject to our own friction

I don’t know
Thought we knew forward from rearview
I don’t know
If we have thought this through
Now, we’re an object in motion
Subject to our own friction

LYRICS
How much more can you take
From a forked tongue snake
How much more make-believe
Can someone make
I ask you
In all seriousness
Point-of-view
From the eagle’s nest?

How much more can they fake
For goodness sake
Send us aid to relieve
Who could conceive
I ask you
In all seriousness
Point-of-view
From the eagle’s nest?

bookmark_borderWound Too Tight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you pitching the Earth is flat?
Do you believe in the Man In The Moon?
Are you bitching ’bout where we’re at
Too tight right is a raging loon
Wound too tight
Bound to fight
What the future holds
Their house of cards folds
Under the grumbles and mumbles (mumbles and grumbles)
The house of cards tumbles

Are you pitching conspiracy theory
Do you believe in the tooth fairy
All your bitching… I’m growing weary
If you’re making it by, it’s barely
Wound too tight
Bound to fight
What the future holds
Their house of cards folds
Under the grumbles and mumbles (mumbles and grumbles)
The house of cards tumbles

LYRICS
Hold my beer… will you, bloke?
Fear of fear
Now, I’ll choke
And, is our “society” also fleeting
No one gives a whim
Except for her or him
Only as it relates
To the state…
Of me (me,me,me)
The fallacy of “I’ll give my middle finger to society.”

bookmark_borderHibernal Solstice

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s been reported
Daylight is getting shorter
Sunshine aborted
The year’s final quarter
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again

Sun’s been thwarted
By the Earth’s axis
Going wholehearted
Into the depths of Christmas
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again

ABOUT THE SONG
The winter solstice, hiemal solstice or hibernal solstice occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. The winter solstice was immensely important because the people were economically dependent on monitoring the progress of the seasons. Starvation was common during the first months of the winter, January to April, also known as “the famine months”. The majority of wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking at this time. The concentration of the observances were not always on the day commencing at midnight or at dawn, but at the beginning of the pagan day, which in many cultures fell on the previous eve. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
Not a faint whisper on a calm day
No, not a clue
“Know” idea what you’re trying to say
How to get through
Looking forward to a place and time
In a space of I’m
A virtuous us

The aptitude for attitude
Tuned to rude
The fashion of compassion
Turned to fascism
Looking forward to a place and time
In a space of I’m
A virtuous us

More than a brick shy of a load
Light in the loafers
Making my head want to explode
Whack-a-mole gophers
Looking forward to a place and time
In a space of I’m
A virtuous us

LYRICS
What’s the alarm
In threat of harm
Don’t bet the farm
It won’t touch us
Focus works like a charm
It can save us from harm

Out of harms way
That’s where we’ll stay
Throughout the day
It won’t touch us
Focus works like a charm
It can save us from harm

If I’ve my way
On Earth I’ll stay
Threats we’ll disarm
They won’t touch us
Focus works like a charm
It can save us from harm

LYRICS
You certainly do our party no justice, sir.

How free is freedom
Free as the free dumb
Dum, de, dum, dumb
[Fife and drum]

Again, again, again
Pissin’ in the wind
Sprotin’ a stupid grin
Instead of a mile wide smile
Mile wide eye’d I’d smile
Time to begin
In days gone by
Maybe it’s time
To wonder why
