LYRICS
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Creating a brand new beat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
A beat to get ’em off their seat

If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
With a groove to make ’em move
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Move as though nothing to prove

If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Creating a brand new beat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
A beat to get ’em on their feet

Peek Pique

Posted on October 29, 2014October 31, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
I hear strange noises outside my door
Shall I crack and peek… see what’s in store?
Pique my curiosity
I’ve just gotta see

On the peak of a precipice
A recipe for prevalence
Of intelligence
The need to know
Know not a single no
Untangle the knot in your mind
Then it’ll surface… how to be kind

Coulrophobia

Posted on October 29, 2014October 29, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
French police warn about scary clowns
Earlier this month in the US, there were several reports of scary clowns in California, Florida …

In France, police say groups are organising online to track down the clowns and they’re taking the matter very seriously. “Anyone, aggressive clowns or clown hunters, found in possession of a weapon in a public place will be arrested and can be held in police custody,” said a police statement. They’ve urged the public to stop spreading rumours online and have issued information on how to send an alert about an aggressive clown.
— BBC

Aggressive clown or clown hunter
You’re going down
Stumble blunder
Be the brunt of the clown

In France, the latest dance
Werewolves Of London
London Bridge undone
Falling down
The brunt of the clown

London bridge is falling down
My fair lady
That clown looks shady
I ain’t clowin’ around

Fishtales

Posted on October 28, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Jonah in an ocean swale
Swallowed by a giant whale
Sound fishy to you
Yeah… me, too

“Just spit him out!”

It’s been three long days
And three long nights
I’ve realized my ways
When it’s right to fight

Flee… no not me!
Just spit me free

Can’t flee from the presence of the Lord

Can’t flee from the essence of the Lord

No sense unless in the presence of the Lord

Fishtales.mp3

Commanded by God to go to the city of Nineveh to prophesy against it “for their great wickedness is come up before me,” Jonah instead seeks to flee from “the presence of the Lord” by going to Jaffa and sailing to Tarshish, which, geographically, is in the opposite direction. A huge storm arises and the sailors, realizing this is no ordinary storm, cast lots and discover that Jonah is to blame. Jonah admits this and states that if he is thrown overboard, the storm will cease. The sailors try to dump as much cargo as possible before giving up, but feel forced to throw him overboard, at which point the sea calms. The sailors then offer sacrifices to God. Jonah is miraculously saved by being swallowed by a large fish where he spends three days and three nights. While in the great fish, Jonah prays to God in his affliction and commits to thanksgiving and to paying what he has vowed. God commands the fish to spew Jonah out.

Quoted in all Religions Of The Book

Jonah, Jonas or Younis (Hebrew: יוֹנָה, Modern Yona Tiberian Yônā ; dove; Arabic: يونس‎ Yūnus, Yūnis or يونان Yūnān ; Latin: Ionas) is the name given in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) to a prophet of the northern kingdom of Israel in about the 8th century BC. He is the eponymous central character in the Book of Jonah, famous for being swallowed by a fish or a whale, depending on translation. The Biblical story of Jonah is repeated, with a few notable differences, in the Qur’an.

Giddy up
To the divvy up

If you keep all
For we

The order’s not that tall
Will you keep it all?

Plenty
More than enough
A pretty penny
Doesn’t have to be this tough

Diwali

Posted on October 24, 2014 by admin

Diwali (Deep-a-ville)

LYRICS
[dih-wah-lee]

Light over dark under light over dark under light over dark under light over dark

light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair

Right, I see the light
I’m on my way there

light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance
Fairness and tolerance
Defeat arrogance
Unseat indifference

good over evil
Understood goodwill

Goodwill toward men
again and again

Diwali.mp3

[dih-wah-lee]

note:

The King James Version of the Bible translates the words of the angels differently from modern versions, using the words “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (where the word “men” is used generically to mean “people” or “human beings”). Most Christmas carols reflect this older translation, with It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, for example, using the words “Peace on the earth, good will to men, / From Heaven’s all gracious King.”

Written and recorded on “Light over Dark” / Diwali night in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA

Diwali also known as Deepavali and the “festival of lights”, is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. The festival preparations and rituals typically extend over a five day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. In the Gregorian calendar, Diwali night falls between mid-October and mid-November.

LYRICS
Mirrored in the things you do
Is a reflection of you
Footsteps in the snow
Revealing which way you go

The words you say put in play
A narration of our day
The surface that’s fractured
Are the image that’s captured

The trail we cut and burn
Will be a lesson for all to learn
The imprint we’ve left behind
For forever will remind

Attention Siren

Posted on October 13, 2014October 14, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

“General Population reporting for duty, Sir.
From my naivety you may infer!”

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not on my leg using your urine
Not through some giant money siphon
More like firin’ up the horizon
The enlighten siren

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not the ice that’s crashing into the sea
Not the smog foggin’ up what I see
Not ozone in the wind a blowin’
Not ebola in the gut growin’
You’d think these would all make a fine sign
Nooooo… we pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
We’re taking the free trial of denial for certain

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

Just calm your ass down?
Calm YOUR ass down

Don’t-cha think it’s be better
If we were all the class clown?

Let it be shown you’ve grown
Won’t let this opportunity be blown
Be the driver… know where you’re goin’

Ebola Outbreak

Posted on October 11, 2014October 12, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
How could this be?
I can’t believe what I see
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I see
I am bleeding from my I’s
War, poverty, disease… no more please

Oh my goodness, dear
I fear what it is I hear
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I hear
It’s the politicians that I fear
War, poverty, disease… no more please

This social disease is beat
I’ve gotta get off my seat
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t let these events pass
I am bleeding from my…
But,
[The elected orifice officials chime in “but, but, but”]
War, poverty, disease… no more please

Out-rageous
Out-of-control
Outbreak

The Here And Now

Posted on September 25, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Is it now?
Is it… now?
Because…
Somehow
I seem to be
Diss…
Disoriented
Because of the scent
I relent
Because… the reality
It can’t be Earth
There’s no humanity
The wrong birth
No humans at all
Neanderthal
Is that all?
Neanderthal
After all
Are they all Neanderthal?

(Overcome the fear with seer)

For a treat
Eat meat
Are they all asleep
Neanderthal
Creep
While you sleep
Creep

(Overcome the fear with seer)

It’s like prehistoric
The mortal sick
Prehistoric
Environmental sick

(Overcome the fear with seer)

Most prehistoric
The solution
Institution?
Prehistoric
Devolution

(Overcome the fear with seer)

I sense
A rinse
So we can get our sense
And know how to flow
Overcome the fear with seer

Breakdown
Written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson
Made famous by The Alan Parsons Project

A                               G
I break down, in the middle and lose my thread,
F                                   A
no one can understand a word that I say
                                     G
When I break down, just a little and lose my head,
F                                     A
nothing I try to do can work the same way

Dm
Any time it happens, I get over it,
C                              A
with a little help from all my friends
Dm 
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me,
C                              A
but they walk away and just pretend
             G
When I break down

A G A  2x

A                               G
I break down, in the middle and lose my thread,
F                                   A
no one can understand a word that I say
                                     G
When I break down, just a little and lose my head,
F                                     A
nothing I try to do can work the same way

Dm
Where are all the friends who used to talk to me,
C                              A
all they ever told me was good news
Dm
People that I've never seen are kind to me,
C                       A
is it any wonder I'm confused?
             G
When I break down, when I break down

Am
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
G                 Am
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away
Take the wall away
Am
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
G                 Am
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away

Where are all my friends?

I'm so confused

Take the wall away

Take the wall away

Won't somebody help me?
