When you bubble over with giggle
I can’t help but to laugh

Outrageous
Turn the pelvis to a squiggle

LYRICS
If the rest of the world
Is acting sad or mad
Just be glad
You’re growing old
Or, would ya rather it be said
He’s too young to be dead?
The rest of us
Dance finesse
Or, would ya rather it be said
He’s too young to be dead?
He died before his time
He died before his prime
F%^& it….
Why’d he have to kick the bucket
The rest of us
Dance finesse
Finesseness

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
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.

Helps give you surround stereo
The double neck guitar
Bound to take you twice as far
The, the, the size may be scary
It’s all part of the big band theory
Let me tell you a story,
5-string bass
To melt your face
Even a timpani drum
Just for rhythm section fun
(Though) the size may be scary
It’s all part of the big band theory
That’s my story

LYRICS
I came upon an amputee
This is what he said to me,
“What you get… can be more than you see.”
I said, climb on my back
And I’ll supply what you lack
Why go up the crick without a paddle
When you can ride wild without a saddle
A tidal tiding
Bareback surfing
I saw a blind man that wanted to see
This is what he said to me,
“What you get… can be more than you see.”
I said, climb on my shoulders
And we’ll make you a beholder
I went to talk to a cute mute
This is what she said to me,
“….”
I said, come and take my hand
And we’ll lead them to understand

Needle In The Groove Part 2.mp3
LYRICS
Just drop the needle in the groove
It’s not like I’ve got something to prove
Salve for the wound of fear
The ointment in the instrument
(Instant ointment instrument)
Let the sound sear
And hope your heart will move
Once ya drop the needle in the groove
Pierce your vain
With the needle
Called insane
At the church with the steeple
But we can out-dance the irreverence of those people
Just drop the needle
Hey, do ya really want in on their vanity sin?
Please move to drop the needle in the groove
Let’s start making love
May the music cure what ails ya
The elixir tonic that never fails ya

LYRICS
So Joshua son of Nun
Had to get the job done
Had to get the battle won
It came to be found
… just turn up the sound
They found… just turn up the sound
Blow trumpets
Show rhythm
Now our battle hymn, “Shout!” x6
And the walls came tumbling down
Make a joyful noise
All the earth
Break forth into joyous song
“trumpet sound;
lute and flute
tambourine and dance;
strings and pipe
sounding cymbals;
no, no… with loud clashing cymbals!
play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy
And they sang a new song
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace
the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy”

From the album Miss Christmas and part of the on-going Christmas Music Experiment.
The song is based on these bible verses:
6 Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”
15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout!”
Psalm 98:4 ESV
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
Psalm 150:1-6 ESV
Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! …
1 Chronicles 15:16
David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brothers as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.
Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song
Job 38:7 ESV
When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Revelation 5:11 ESV
Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
Luke 2:13-14 ESV
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

Where did everyone go?
Where did everyone go
Look around, look around, look around
I don’t know
Thought we’d have some fun
But, I just don’t know
Look around, no one’s found, none around
ohhhhhhhh no!
Repeat
Nice to have a fan
Pleased to meet you, Dan
Look around, look around, look around
Fans stand! Make a stand. Fan stand.
Look around plenty to be found
In sight
Unite
Insight unite
In sight
Unite

HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR PART
LYRICS
The traffic races through my head
Before I blurt out what’s to be said
Won’t be a blight… no, not a dread
Try as I might to put it to bed
As you depend on a leprechaun
Your luck is gone… gone, gone, gone
Or worship some graven image
Digging your grave is no mirage
Not in this age… not in this day… hey, hey, hey!
You can dance here. There’s nothing to fear.
Put your arms in the air. Dance without care.
Prancing up and down… chancing it all around
Carefree dancing happily

LYRICS
A reminiscence about the resonance
Of your presence
In place with God
At peace with the sword
Oh my, Lord!
Being able to see what will be
Be it what it may for is surely maybe
Maybe we’d see
We as a seed
n’ proceed to succeed
Without greed
Fulfill the need
Breed to feed society
I think I am
Therefore, I am… alive!
Time to dive
Into the essence
Of Her presence
