bookmark_borderBaby, Please Don’t Go

LYRICS
I don’t know ho to get through the day
If you stay home, we can play
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don’t go away
(Baby, don’t go away)

When you leave and shut the door
I cry, and I cry for more
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don’t go away

Leaving me tears me apart
I don’t know where to start
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don’t go away

When I hear you open the door
I beg, and I beg for more
As your best friend, I say
Oh, no! Please don’t go away

bookmark_borderSet Me Free

LYRICS
Oh, please…
I don’t need a collar
I don’t need a leash
Makes me wince when you say fence
Hence,
Why don’t you see your way to set me free

I hate it when you holler
Promise you I’ll cease
Suggested as my best defense
Hence,
Why don’t you see your way to set me free

Maybe today is my lucky day
What do you say
Can you find a way
If you let me be
Independently
Why don’t you see your way to set me free?

bookmark_borderHow I Roll

LYRICS
I don’t know what’s come over me
Call it loss of control
’cause obviously
It’s plain to see
I see $hit and I roll
… that’s how I roll

Get the smell of you
Can’t help what I do
Found your shoe
Now I’m going to chew, chew, chew
… takes it’s toll
I see $hit and I roll
… that’s how I roll

When I see your door’s smallest crack
My opportunity to attack
Like an electric jolt
Flash! I’m gonna bolt
… the smallest hole
I see $hit and I roll
… that’s how I roll

bookmark_borderRun, Dog, Run

LYRICS
Though you’re just a puppy
It’s never too early
Though you’re just a puppy
You “Run, Dog, run!”
The moving keeps you happy
Are good and ready
The moving keeps you happy
So, run, Dog, run!
Maybe his bark is worse than his bite
But with a bark like that…
Bite he might

Have you figured out
Confused or in doubt
Have you figured out
You better run, Dog, run
Getting a little close
Close within a nose
Getting a little close
You better run, Dog, run
Maybe his bark is worse than his bite
But with a bark like that…
Bite he might

bookmark_borderWho Is The Bad Dog?

LYRICS
You lay down with humans
You get up with fleas
You lay down with humans
You get up with fleas
’cause those damned humans
Do whatever they please

Sleeping ’round town
Words goin’ round
’cause those damned humans
Will bring ya to your knees

You get down with humans
You wake-up to fleas
’cause those damned humans
Do whatever they please

Cryin’ and scratchin’
Mange and sleaze
’cause those damned humans
Do whatever they please

Who’s the bad dog now
Them or we
’cause those damned humans
Do whatever they please

ABOUT THE SONG
A song inspired by the classic “Hound Dog”. Leiber and Stoller wrote the song using a bad dog as a metaphor for a bad man. So, this song reverses the rolls in defense of dogs everywhere.

LYRICS
1) Spent too many days home alone
Waiting on some telephone
Condition of death prone
Chorus:
When it comes to The End
Best thing for heart’s mend
Man’s best of friends
Maybe man’s only friend?

2) People want to stare and gawk
Behind your back talk, talk, talk
Think it’s time to take you for a walk
(chorus)

3) People want to chastise me
No, they won’t let me be
All you want’s the closest tree
(chorus)

4) Oh, oh dog gone it!
Forget the people flaunted
Nevermore to be wanted
(chorus)

bookmark_borderFool For Summer

LYRICS
Can you ever get enough summer fun
Why’s it always feel time’s on the run
Some sort-of rule
About going to school
Guess at heart I’m just a summertime fool
The kids grow up and leave the nest
But surely I digress
Those that think it’s best
Well, they’ve got the wrong address

Can you ever get enough summer fun
Why’s it always feel time’s on the run
Parents go irate
Over a certain date
If it was up to me, wouldn’t hesitate
To say, “Let it wait!”
The kids grow up and leave the nest
But surely I digress
Those that think it’s best
Well, they’ve got the wrong address
… I digress

Though it might seem
As dark as
The darkest night
Though it might
Tonight
It might

I’m Dreaming of the light

Be dreaming of the light
Hear the thunder clap
Know the lightning looms
Stomp my feet
Catch the beat
Clap
We’ll see the light soon
Understanding clasp

bookmark_borderWhen The Bank Breaks

LYRICS
When you do downtown
Does your Main Street remain?
Can she go downtown
Shopping for a gown?
The consumer in her
No rumor… danger!

When you in to town
Are they sentimental or mental
Longing for capitalism
Wrapped in nepotism
(Demolition)
The consumer in her
No rumor… danger!

Don’t be shy when you’ve nothing left to buy
Bye-bye
Junk puts you in a funk… wonder why
Bye-bye
The consumer in her
No rumor… danger!

Downtown is going down
Going down
All around
Going down

LYRICS
I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can’t buy or sell your soul
The devil’s in the details
In the fine print… never fails

Dip your toe, start to wade
How much are you willing to trade
I don’t know but I’ve been told
Find the fountain of youth and never grow old

I don’t know but I’ve been told
The fire of hell never grows cold
(No, never goes cold)

I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can wast your life in search of gold
I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can’t buy or sell your soul
The devil’s in the details
In the fine print… never fails

bookmark_borderIn The Clearing

LYRICS
Waiting for the atmosphere to clear
How long have I been waiting here?
Oh, dear
How’s the air way up there
Way down here less than fair
Not sure we’re aware
(Or that we even care)

Waiting for the atmosphere
To clear itself from all the fear
Tell me does the time draw near?
Oh, dear

The word on the street I’m waiting to hear
What the message is isn’t coming in clear
Oh, dear

Through the atmosphere trying to peer
How long have I been standing here?
Oh, dear

LYRICS
Can you please tell me
Things I can not see
Can you please tell me
Is it right in front of me
Things I need to know
Here we go:
Love is like a heart attack
Once you’re caught / a clot
You can never come back?
Love is like a snakebite
Once bitten never quite right
Love is like a house on fire
All possessions in straights so dire
Love is like a yo-yo
Wrapped ’round ‘er finger
There you go
… the pain will linger

LYRICS
The earth, wind and fire
The elements conspire
Gas, liquid, solid
They did
In a state of transition
Transformation
A new age information
For formation

Air, land, sea
In unity
(Get down to Earth)
Rock, paper, scissors
Metamorphosis

Birth, life, death
Laid to rest
The End, middle, begin
Do it again
