LYRICS
In this day and age
I can only understand
Body language
The demand
On verbiage
Is out of hand
The strain on the brain
Meaning’s down the drain
Don’t need to be a sage
To understand
Body language
Compile a smile
With a twinkle in the I
Eye spy
Body language
ABOUT THE SONG

Recording: original take / live digital 1-track stereo
Instrumentation: Vocals, Keyboards
From the album Highly Suspect
LYRICS
So far
It just gets more bizarre
You’re not kidding
The proof is in the pudding
A fact’s a fact
And that’s that
Once it’s gone
Can’t get it back
The fool lost his cool
Misplaced his mental tool
Now, it’s starting to dawn
Everybody keep your calm
The longer you grow old
The less thought is bold

LYRICS
IF you’re eating free samples
Taking more than ample
Now, the after taste
Results in such a waste
Move on. Move along.
When you’re at a buffet
“Are your eyes bigger”
Do they say?
Now, the after taste
Results in such a waste
Move on. Move along.
Should they say “glutton for punishment”
Do you know what is meant
Represent?
Does the after taste
Result in such a waste
Didn’t… take the hint

LYRICS
Are you going to get another tic-tac-toe
Will the stars line up 3-in-a-row
When the gods are on your side
Will you go along for the ride
Outside
Your comfort zone
All alone
Quite a stunt… out-in-front
Are you going to get another tic-tac-toe
Will three stars line up in-a-row
When the gods are on your side
Will you go along for the ride
Outside
The box
Out fox the fox
Getting to know
In-the-know
Are you going to get another tic-tac-toe
Will the stars line up 3-in-a-row
When the gods are on your side
Will you go along for the ride
Outside
Your inside
The great divide
… on a ride

LYRICS
O.K. I get it
If I let it
It will end up
Growing on me
We’ll be
And, it comes at the cost of free
Freedom
We’ll all be free
Free them!
O.K. I get it
If I let it
It will end up
Growing on me
We’ll be
What’s the cost to be free?
Freedumb
Thus, it’s us
Will we?
Free them
Freedom
Thus, it’s us

LYRICS
At any rate, forthright
Beats 20/20 hindsight
Applaud your own facade
Perpetuate the fraud?
As long as I’m livin’
The life given
Going to treat it like heaven
Livin’ a given blessin’
In the season of the Garden Of Eden
At any rate, forthright
Beats 20/20 hindsight
Why cast upon the spell
Where you’re livin’ in hell?
As long as I’m livin’
The life given
Going to treat it like heaven
Livin’ a given blessin’
In the season of the Garden Of Eden

Coversong originally made famous by Carly Simon
Am
You walked into the party;
F Am
like you were walking on to a yacht
Am
Your hat, strategically dipped below one eye;
F Am
your scarf it was apricot
F G Em Am F C
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
G F
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner, they'd be your partner and
C
You're so vain,
Dm C
you prob'ly think this song is about you
C Am
You're so vain,
F G
I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you
Am
You had me several years ago;
F Am
when I was still quite naive
Am
Well, you said that we make such a pretty pair
F Am
and that you would never leave
F G Em Am F C
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
G F
I had some dreams; they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and
[Chorus]
[Solo] Am F Am Am F Am F G Em Am F C
F G
I had some dreams; they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and
[Chorus]
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
and when you're not you're with
Some under world spy, or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend and
[Chorus]
[Chorus] C Dm C
C Dm C
You're so vain, you prob'ly think this song is about you....
You’re So Vain.mp3 (Folk Punk Version)
LYRICS
Come one. Come all.
The Homo sapiens are throwing a ball
From near. From far.
It doesn’t really matter where you are
Celebrate the date
It’s never too late
The Homo sapiens are having a ball
From near. From far.
It doesn’t really matter where you are
A celebration of the dead
The eulogy sung not said
The Homo sapiens are throwing a ball
From near. From far.
It doesn’t really matter where you are
A celebration of the living
Celebrate the love we’re giving
The Homo sapiens are having a ball
From near. From far.
It doesn’t really matter where you are
When I’m dead and gone
Celebrate! Go on!

Chords: A E D A / G D A
Recording: original take / live digital 1-track stereo
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar
From the Christmas 2019 album of music Advent
LYRICS
Walled-off in his “emperor’s clothes”
His heart is empty
His mind is closed
He doesn’t seem to know
His seams don’t show
Bare-assed and dangerous
The wolf in wolf’s clothing
… clinging…
To the darkness
They say he has no vertebrae
Yet, he thinks he rules the day
The king of the worms squirms
Drained his swamp
Mad, he stomps
Coldblooded crawl
Cold hearted claw
Ate procrastinate to stall
But, after all…
We all heed the call

LYRICS
Telling me it’s too late
Filled with rage and hate
I don’t really fell that way
Anyway
My heart still has plenty of room
So stow away your gloom and doom
Hooray! Anyway
Telling me it’s skin tone
Causing misery, you moan
I don’t really fell that way
Anyway
My heart still has plenty of room
So stow away your gloom and doom
Hooray! Anyway
Telling me scientists don’t know
“Climate change ain’t Man’s. Oh, no!”
I don’t really fell that way
Anyway
My heart still has plenty of room
So stow away your gloom and doom
Hooray! Anyway
Telling me don’t get vaccinated
Medical facts are overrated
I don’t really fell that way
Anyway
My heart still has plenty of room
So stow away your gloom and doom
Hooray! Anyway

LYRICS
Will you find the answer
What are you looking for?
No, mam. Yes, sir.
Dig deeper for more
Submerge in the solution
Solution
In your time
The riddle… the rhyme
On the verge
Submerge
Into the solution solution
Pre or post hallucination
Into a success vortex
Whirling solution solution

LYRICS
Should the known dead end
Be just around the corner
Maybe a better way is found
BY circling around
Can’t go over
Can’t go under
There’s no wonder
To discover
Might as well stray
From the wrong way
At the end of the tunnel
There’s a light
Forego the pummel
Stay to the right
Head toward the light
Delight
Slight slice of delight

LYRICS
From time-to-time
… like to get out and roam
Be the main character of a poem
Because… it sure feels good to get back home
Life on the road
… there’s nothing you own
Surrounded by people
Yet, feel all alone
It sure feels good to get back home
Living on borrowed time
… life’s on loan
Too many days away
Will make you moan
It sure feels good to get back home

LYRICS
The skew in you
Misconstrue
To narcissistic view
I’m in between in and out
Not sure what you’re talking about
Fear I may hit the floor
If you say any more
No more
Noooo… no more
Someone needs to correct you
’cause you’re talking cuckoo
The narcissistic view
(You, you, you)
I’m in between in and out
Not sure what you’re talking about
Fear I’ll go through the roof
Train-of-thought is too aloof

LYRICS
Lessen the listen
Or… lesson “the listen”?
Alright, if you’re that uptight
Insanity of anxiety
Doesn’t strike home with me
But, I’ll lend an ear
So, I can see
You hear: “There’s reason to fear”
It smells of something wrong
A bad taste… lingers too long
Too much touch
Left more than a footprint
My carbon stint
Is that right
(Left a stench)
Have I lost sight?
Listen to the knows
The knows knows
