Shine divine
Smile enshrine
Open wide
For a decadent experience
Brush from side to side
For improved appearance
With just enough grit
To clean you up a bit

ABOUT THIS SONG
Inspired by a Crest news story:
Crest’s new Mint Chocolate Trek toothpaste claims it “opens with a rich, creamy cocoa flavor that provides an indulgent and decadent experience.”

Proctor & Gamble, makers of Crest, call the new brand of toothpastes Be Adventurous.

Tow The Line.mp3

LYRICS
Once you start to tow the line
You’ll see it’s easy to do all the time
Quite often perceived as being out of line
It depends for whom you tow the line

Radical conformity sabbatical
All the while
Towing the line

Quite often perceived as being out of line
It depends for whom you tow the line
Once you start to tow the line
You’ll see it’s easy to do all the time

Radical conformity sabbatical
While ya smile
Towing just fine

God, I’ll tow the line for all my time

LYRICS
I thought you said we were suppose to be having fun
Then, why’s it feel like to my head… there’s a gun?
Why don’t we all just lighten up
Let the scales of justice be the measuring cup

When ya act like that nobody wants in that act
As a matter of fact, you say you’re not but you’re that
Why don’t we all just lighten up
Let the scales of justice be the measuring cup

Memory Part 3.mp3

LYRICS
What’s in a memory
In the long run,
Is it all just temporary

A place to store impressions
As I learn my lessons

Just for fun
Compare a memory to a dream
It would seem
Existing without existence
In your mind’s eye
I feel the experience

A place to store my impressions
Of the human sessions

Sight, sound, touch, smell and taste
That in haste could go to waste
I want to hold on
To the memory
Reality is won
I want to hold on
To the sensory

A place to store my impressions
For my succession

LYRICS
On the flip-side
Of the Trip-Hop
Is a the B-side
Flat-footed cop

Just say nope
Dope of the narc of the dope
’cause once you see the reality
Through the looking-glass you’ll be
Then you’ll finally be free

It’s just a trip, hop and jump away
Be the contra-verse si and live life today

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is a tribute to trip-hop.

Trip hop is a genre of electronic music that originated in the early 1990s in the United Kingdom, especially Bristol. Deriving from “post”-acid house, the term was first used by the British music media and press as a way to describe the more experimental variant of breakbeat which contained influences of soul, funk and jazz.

LYRICS
You’ve got that look like you know me
I wish I could
Place your face in my memory
If I could I would

It’s a shame
But I can’t remember you name
Though I should
’cause you do everybody good

I’m sure we’ve met before
You must have opened a door
To mind expanding folklore
Where myth twines with truth

Please place your face in my space

Couldn’t wait to get down
Make the sound
In my blood,
Plus what’s around
Turn it into sound
Wash n’ over you
Like a flash flood

Nature versus nurture
Turn a sonic future
Into hear here
Here and now
A now know flow
Here we go

LYRICS
Those pictures from the Hubble
Really popped my bubble
Here I thought the universe was centered around me
Must have some sort-of vanity curse… ’cause it’s hard for me to see

Did you see the the supernova star explosion
Damn it!
If a star explodes in space, can anyone hear it?
By the time we see it, maybe there will be evolution
Or is intelligent live still light years away?
Call it post-humanity dismay

“Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar” galaxy
It’s time to set your soul free
Go far
F#$@ the greed czar
Make the concept of envy bizarre

Those pictures from the Hubble
Popped my bubble
Here I thought the universe revolved around me

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was inspired by vastness of outer space and my relative size.

Some recent space news Wake Up In Space and Star Explosion.

LYRICS
Have we lost our humor?

We’ll go the extra mile
If there’s anything we can do
To make you smile

Aren’t many beside us Earthlings
That like to laugh it up
Thank God for investing
Into our loving cup

The conduit for something funny
Let’s hear it for something witty
Ya know, it rained all day. It was sunny.
We’ll put it to a little ditty

No don’t you cry for me
Gonna keep tryin’
Till I make you slap your knee

LYRICS
Have we arrived in the music age
When humankind pays mind
To turn the page

Is there a rocker in the house
A rhyming talker that can espouse?
Someone to tickle the ivories
Until the underbelly we expose
I suppose,
A language where notes strike a chord
And, chords form vocabularies
Oh, Lord!

See sharp or be flat
Likely be playing that
Like the music
Slick yet thick
Broad and wide
With depth and breadth
To turn your inside

Likely be playing that
This or the other thing —
Sing “see”
We sing

Heavy Metals

Heavy Metals.mp3

LYRICS
What do you think?
Some molybdenum and zinc
Sorry, I’m a bit dumb
About molybdenum
A little mental
About heavy metal

What about
Iron and cobalt?
Jeeze… not to mention
Copper and manganese
Trying to figure out
Heavy metal’s participation
(Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Nibble on a heavy metal treat)

Trying to figure out
What’s heavy metal’s fault
Let’s see…
Lead and mercury
Got a tune the tuna
Or, it can kill ya
Hard to tell
When heavy turns to death metal hell
And, it will kill, kill, kill

ABOUT THIS SONG

Living organisms require varying amounts of “heavy metals”. Iron, cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc are required by humans. Excessive levels can be damaging to the organism. Other heavy metals such as mercury, plutonium, and lead are toxic metals and their accumulation over time in the bodies of animals can cause serious illness. Certain elements that are normally toxic are, for certain organisms or under certain conditions, beneficial. Examples include vanadium, tungsten, and even cadmium.

Heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central nervous function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. Long-term exposure may result in slowly progressing physical, muscular, and neurological degenerative processes that mimic Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis. Allergies are not uncommon, and repeated long-term contact with some metals (or their compounds) may cause cancer.
— Wikipedia

Do not eat:

Shark
Swordfish
King Mackerel
Tilefish

Nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury… some fish and shellfish contain higher levels of mercury that may harm an unborn baby or young child’s developing nervous system. The risks from mercury in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of mercury in the fish and shellfish.
— The FDA of the United States of America

Iron is needed for blood; however, men can build up toxic levels of iron as they grow older.
