LYRICS
If your soul thirsts
Put others first
And you will feed it
Your heart will start to beat
Along with dancing feet
Your mind you’ll get to know
The blood will start to flow

If your soul starves
The knife that carves
— your goodwill feeds it
Your heart will start to beat
Along with dancing feet
Your mind you’ll get to know
The blood will start to flow

when your soul strives
Brings others ‘live
A need, we feed it
Your heart will start to beat
Along with dancing feet
Your mind you’ll get to know
The blood will start to flow

LYRICS
My fellow gentlemen
Are you weary of soul?
And all you women
Did the world take it’s toll?
Well, there’s a star
With a tail so long
If you follow her
You can’t go wrong
No matter where you are
There’s a star

People of all ages
Have you had enough
Of hanging tough
Both young and old
The story’s told
Come in from the cold
Well, there’s a star
With a tail so long
If you follow her
You can’t go wrong
No matter where you are
There’s a star

bookmark_borderIt’s for the Birds

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The cost of the “12 Days of Christmas”
Is getting absurd
(In case you hadn’t heard)
It’s for the birds
7 swans a swimming
6 geese a laying
2 turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree*

*Pear tree not included
**All scenery excluded
***It’s for the birds

You can try, try, try
You can cry, cry, cry
But the price of the birds
Has gone sky high
Inflation elevation
It’s for the birds
Hadn’t you heard?

ABOUT THE SONG
The song was inspired by the 2021 cost of the “12 Days of Christmas”. The annual survey concluded “Even ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ is being slammed by inflation”. “PNC’s annual Christmas Price Index, which totals out the current cost of the gifts in the holiday song “The 12 Days of Christmas,” has been published—and all of those birds in the song come at a hefty price. Two turtle doves will cost you 50% more this year, coming in at $450. Those three French hens? That’s up 40.5% to $255. And the six geese-a-laying saw prices soar 51% in the past year.”

LYRICS
Did you hear that sound
Underfoot
Uh oh! Must’ve stepped in it
Hate to look and see what’s found
Uh oh! Hate stepping in shhhhh…
Wait!
Better hold my tongue
’till my nose gets done
And that last step is undone
Yeah, the misdone is undone
So there’s no misstep regret
Noooo… no need to fret

Far wide ocean
Large sea
When compared to me
The tide rolls in
High tide

Big, big mountain

LYRICS
Daylight grows shorter
The night rolls over
Another moon’s quarter
Nightlight discover
Their days reflected rays
Lighting up our way

Wintertime moonshine
Clear sky… scene glows
Black n’ white fine line
Casting shadows
Their days reflected rays
Lighting up our way

Winter solstice
Live days in dark
Seeking justice
Equinox embark
Their days reflected rays
Lighting up our way

LYRICS
When I think of teaberry pink
Surrounded in forest green
My mouth starts to water
Mountain water drink
Oasis I think
Miracle mirage
Chewing sassafras root
Avoiding eye-of-newt
If you don’t know…
… can’t explain
Think… flowing mountain water
Drink…
Think… an Oh! Aaa’s Is
For your soul
Take a mouthful
Much sought after
Mountain water

LYRICS
Way beyond absurd
What I heard
Far beyond bizarre
Where we are
Why don’t we pick up the pieces
Start it over again
Why don’t we pick up our peaces
Let’s discover begin

Should we try to fix
Show me your tricks
Maybe we can mend
S.O.S. send
Why don’t we pick up the pieces
Start it over again
Why don’t we pick up our peaces
Let’s discover begin

Don’t you find it odd
Oh, my God!
Quite severely twisted
Knotted and fisted
Why don’t we pick up the pieces
Start it over again
Why don’t we pick up our peaces
Let’s discover begin

At this time of year
Wishing you more cheer
With each passing day
May more cheer come your way
Your universal smile
Goes the extra mile
Making everything OK

Reflects the inner “I”

At this time of year
Wishing you more cheer
With each passing day
May more cheer come your way

Upping the ante
I’m starting to see
Upping the ante
With a card hidden
Up the sleeve
I’m finding it
A little hard to believe
I’ll see you
And, raise you tow, too

Upping the ante
Finding it a little hard
Seeing how you play your cards

I’d travel through the snow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

Uncharted boat I’d stow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

Paddle against the flow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

I’d search both high and low
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine
