Click my <3
Beat by beat
Let’s just start
Up the heat
Reality fades into
The surreal you
Do, please, do
On the spot?
Why not
It’s getting hot
Beat by beat
The hearts’ heat
You warm my skin
You warm within
Beat by beat
Up the heat
Beat by beat by beat by beat

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you think the drop
In land’s altitude
Has to do with the drop
In man’s attitude
If I may be so bold
The weight of the world
Yes, let the story be told
The devastation of land
By the human hand
The rise of the sea
Level to you and me
The fall of mankind
When there’s no see to find
Starting to understand
A continent is an island
Standing on sinking land
Isn’t going as planned
Going under
Under “stand”?

Chords: C# F G / G F D; 112 BPM Swing Reggae

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you know which way
The know does flow
Do you know which way
The know does go
In one ear and right out the other,
Brother
Talk to the hand?
I don’t understand
So, much slipping through the fingers
I sure hope some lingers
Stuck to the tip of my tongue
Sure hope it comes unwrung
Starting to feel the way
In “The Ocean’s” sway
By the light of day
… the moon’s effect on the bay
In the light of day

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by Led Zeppelin’s “The Ocean”.
The Ocean is the sea of fans as seen from the stage. In concert, they would dedicate it  to the audience.
“Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean’s roar
Play for free, I play for me and play a whole lot more, more!
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day”

Style: Alternative Rock / Progressive Folk
Chords: A C G; 100 BPM Pop Reggae
Recording: original take / live digital 1-track stereo
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards

So
What’s the problem
So
I don’t know
First you clobber ’em
Then rob ’em
Before you #uck ’em?
What’s my problem
That’s my problem

What’s the problem
I try to solve ’em
Watch that puzzle
Fizzle

Ya, what’s the problem
So
You don’t know?
Solution
Revolution
Going on in my mind
How to be kind
It’s the revolution
Solution
In my mind
Try n’ be kind

LYRICS
Encircled by the deepest purple
In fact, black
As hellfire rains down
Reigns all around
That whitelion inside of you
Comes roaring through
While angels are cast from heaven
The sprouting of demons is a fore-given
And at the very end
When the messenger they send
Has no ear to lend….

LYRICS
A million and one loves
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
And a heart or two, too
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
Realize
Heaven is on Earth
Birth in paradise
Heaven on Earth
Birth
The smile of a baby
Or little ole lady
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
Stand up comedy shtick
Or a bit of ole slapstick
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway

Is anyone around
To testify
It’s going down
Anyone in town
Gonna bear witness

Writing a sad song
Bequeath theft
Or bequeath breath

LYRICS
Hello is anybody in here
Hello is anybody out there
Hello is anybody here

Hello is anybody near
Hello is anybody here

Is there any light in sight
Is there any light insight
At the end of the tunnel
Is there any insight into the light
At the end of the tunnel

At the end of the tunnel
Is it the beginning of the light
Is the end the beginning… is that right
Have I got that right
Beginning of the light
Light insight

LYRICS
This and that
This is this
That is that
This and that
And, this and that
A little of this
A little of that
A dash of thrash
A dribble of metal
Choose the blues
Either way “no lose”
Country full of rock and roll

A little bit of funkin’ folk
Say “mix in some reggae”
What do you say?
This and that
The more you give the more you live
Fact is fact
The more reciprocal the more for “all”

Are you here to save the day
Are you on your way

Yield! Love shields

Do you know what kind of model you are
How can you expect junior goes far

As baby sees, baby does
Watch the future turn to was
As baby sees, baby does
Because….

Do you know what kind of leader you are
Teaching that love is something bizarre

Do you know what kind of friend you are
When you apply the feathers and the tar
