LYRICS
Can you…
Just give me a little bit
Just give me a little bit
Give a little bit
… of time
In the prime
Of our lives
Honey in the hives
Sweeeeeeet
Let’s keep the beat
Hearts beat
As one
Hearts beat
We’ve won
Problems are none
Lovin’s not done
Sweeeeeeet
Let’s keep the beat

bookmark_borderFlathead World

LYRICS
I suppose in a pinch
It’s better than nothing
I’d prefer to have the punch
At the party
Phillipshead in a flathead world
Bold n’ told faltered facts
What the situation lacks…
Is heart
Right from the start
More heart

Time erodes as we debate
Over nothing
Transfer “out-to-lunch”
To “join the party”
Phillipshead in a flathead world
Bold n’ told faltered facts
What the situation lacks…
Is heart
Right from the start
More heart

I propose inch by inch
Adds up to something
It arose as the cinch
Of the party
Starhead in a starhead world
Stumble into humble
Situation’s lovable
Right from the the heart
Right from the start
Adore heart
Love love

LYRICS
Your eyes shine of the stars
The heavens in your soul
Come near
Come far
Make a heart full
You really look pretty tonight
(Light of the night)

My universe is what you are
Every moment never one dull
Come near
Come far
Make a heart full
You really look pretty tonight

You are the night’s delight
You are the night

A love song for the night.

bookmark_borderSmile!

LYRICS
Over the top
Under the neath
Showing the teeth
Smile! Why not?
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

Over under
In between
Why not ponder
Crackin’ up the scene
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

Above beyond
Beyond above
Become the dawn
Shine on the love
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

bookmark_borderAbout the Rest

LYRICS
Does anyone anywhere know
How far to go?
Does everyone everywhere go
Too far to know?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….

Does anyone anywhere care
Where we should start?
Is everyone everywhere aware
Start with “at heart”?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….

Does anyone anywhere part
From the above?
To give a part of your heart
And share the love?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….

LYRICS
I came upon a ramblin’ weed
Yes, indeed
She said, “I wish you would concede.”
Yes, indeed
Feed our flower

My ignorance begot regret
Better bet
Had to transfer my mindset
Better yet
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

Best to call you by name I suppose?
On the nose
Are you Violet or are you Rose?
One of those?
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

bookmark_borderJust Say (The Word)

LYRICS
When a push comes to shove
As it usually does
Things get 1) nasty 2) ugly
Hold my beer
Give a nudge
And, I won’t hold a grudge
Let’s get friendly
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

The word I think of
Undoubtedly love
Rings yours truly
With cheer
Give it all
Clear the castle wall
Hearts sing freely
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

It’s time to get out
And shake it about
The love within
The love within
It will multiply
Give it a try
The love within
Get it out?
If you’re ever in doubt
You can get it out
Sure hope to never forget
The more you give
The more you get
Plan the route
To get it out
Oh please don’t ever forget
The more you give
The more you get

2. Why not get it out
And spread it about
The love within
Keep on diggin’
It’s sure to grow
If the light you show
The love within
Spread it out

Always there with something new/knew
Enlightened point-of-view
Bearing fruit strong to the root

Can’t take it away
In the dreams we keep
While we sleep

Always know what things to do
Enlighten with a clue
Branching out without a doubt

LYRICS
Do you think it’s really the best
To go stirring a hornets’ nest
Do you?
Thus, I must confess
Off to dance
With the devil in the blue dress
(Devil with the blue dress on)
Blew my chance
Going to see my soul for the love of rock n’ roll
At any rate
Reincarnate
“The Late”
Late

Do you think it’s really the best
To go stirring a hornets’ nest
Do you?
Now I thought it through
Gonna tell you what I’m going to do
All along the way
Gonna give my love away
I say:
At any rate
Reincarnate
“The Late”
Late

LYRICS
Out on the way
Sun brightened the day
Now all I can say
“Everything will be OK!”

When I saw your smile
Lost my mind for a while
That long black hair…
Forgive me if I stare?

The way that you giggle
Throwin’ in a lil’ wiggle
When I have my choice
Listen to your voice

I’m putty in your hand
Hope you’ll understand
When you make the heart melt
I know it’s heart felt
