Poof! There It Goes

Posted on October 7, 2014October 7, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Before I can wonder if the peace will cease
The ponder changes to can I get a second lease
Poof! There it goes….

Before I can flounder like a fish out of water
The scoundrel launders scivvies of daughters
Poof! There it goes….

When the induction of corruption seeps into your life
What you wouldn’t do for putty and putty knife
Poof! There it goes….

Essence Of Difference

Posted on October 7, 2014 by admin

Songwriting and Recording at Everhart Park

LYRICS
Putting what’s right in the light
Can’t say black’s in the gray
Doing harm out of spite
Frolic about as we may
… as we might

Don’t go “But, what do I know?”
We know what’s wrong and right
Don’t go “But, what do I know?”
We know the essence of difference

Yielding daylight contrasting night
Providing freedom for us to say
Giving justly without slight
Thankful for each and every day

The Matter Of “Is”

Posted on October 7, 2014October 7, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
It’s the matter of “is”

There I was just sitting… minding my own business
When the voice from above spoke to me
“Why would anyone want tranquility?”

There’d be no satisfaction in habitation
There’d be no thrill in the strive to stay alive
Just try to not let the thrill overspill and kill

How can I stay sitting in the business of success
Balancing the scale between worthless and excess
On this day, I heard Her say to me
“You know my availability?”
I’m aware you’re always there
“Record this for all posterity”
I won’t rest ’till I do my best

Ode to Legend Of A Mind

Posted on October 6, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
They use to tune in, turn on
Find out about dropping out
Of the rat race

What’s your case to partake in the rat race?

The movers and shaker
Tend to be the fakers
Not to say we shouldn’t set the pace
Not dead… looking in from outer space

Train your brain for the haze of the maze
Much to our surprise we have x-ray eyes
I can see right through
And, you can, too
X-ray I’s

My Seventeen Cents

Playing the guitar, piano and singing at the same time.

LYRICS
Soooo….
This guy who told me he’d be Mayor walks by with a smirk on his face
While this other guy walks by as he’s giving me money, says “This is an insult. I wish I had more to give.”

Which way would you want to live?

Which one has better taste
Which one is less a waste
Which one is wasting space

His 2 cents x 8 +1
Where do you want your soul to run
Grow to know the flow… +1

A dime, some time
A nickle (thinkin’ Lincoln)
and my two cents
… two sense

Outside The Block

Posted on October 4, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
When I stepped outside
… tell ya I ain’t lying…
I really, really, really thought I saw a lion

Chorus
Maybe a figment of my imagination
But certainly not an exaggeration

When I stepped outside
… tell ya it was a jungle…
All this political mumbo jumble

Chorus

When I stepped outside
… tell ya no place to hide…
Spreading diarrhea like some kind of panacea

Chorus

When I stepped outside
… tell ya looked into my hide…
Look deep inside… no place for hate to reside

Chorus

When I stepped outside
… tell ya I ain’t lying…
I really, really, really thought I saw a lion
[Welcome to the den, Daniel]

Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog

Posted on October 4, 2014October 4, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
God bless the world… we sure need some
A dressing of Christmas blessing
For all men

The play has begun. The work is done.
A confessing and a blessing
For all men

God save the scene. It’s grown to mean.
A blessing of peace and understanding
For all men

The play has begun. The curtain hung.
The Age of the “world is a stage”
For all men

Morning Dew

Posted on October 2, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
What you grow long could get cut short
Live life all along before your abort

No matter your circumstance
You can see it through
Yes splatter your conscious
Just like the morning dew

Sunset scene seen threw [sic] to the sunrise
Arise children of the sun — surmise

Is the end of your beginning the beginning of your end
In the long run, what message will your dust send?

Happy Holiday

Posted on October 2, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
when you’re looking at me, I wonder what you see
Do you see clearly or do you see right through me?

Chorus
The fox is in the hen house
The wolf in sheep clothes
Like the night before Christmas… quite as a mouse
Or Halloween… when the dead rose

When you’re thinkin’ ’bout me, I wonder what you know
Do you think clearly? Is that not Possible? No?

Chorus

Happy holiday
World peace is on the way
Happy holiday
A resurrection foray

Songwriting and Recording in the Kitchen

LYRICS
Dream like you mean
You’re going to have an impact on the scene
Dream what you mean
Mean what you dream

To You:
May all your dreams come true

Bring about a sensation
All about a good vibration
And, dance, dance, dance
“like no one is watching”
And the dreams you’ll be catching

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Am G

Am +g, +d

Inspired by this quote:

There’s a lesson that I need to remember
When everything is falling apart
In life, just like in loving
There’s such a thing as trying to hard

You’ve gotta sing
Like you don’t need the money
Love like you’ll never get hurt
You’ve gotta dance
Like nobody’s watching
It’s gotta come from the heart
If you want it to work.
— Kathy Mattea

Retro-age

Posted on September 30, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Return to the age when we were innocent
Let’s set a precedent
We learn to be sage thinking young of age
Turn to the first page

The more you do what you’re told
The more you grow old
Before ya know you’ll try to lie
Taking on more than a bit of hypocrite

The more you conform to the norm
The more you cause harm
You’ll try to get by on the lie
Taking on more than a bit of hypocrite

Its Wild Child

Posted on September 30, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
My Child,
Have we returned to wild
It’s a jungle out there
With all their despair
Don’t mean to bring you down
… just look around

Crimes of war and more
Crimes of humanity
Greed spreading poverty
The flatulence of our arrogance
Does smell like hell

I met a coupla sisters
They were young at age
But, boy, I became a listener
Once they took the stage

And you’ll do you things
If you were there…
Frozen… In The Air

LYRICS
The world seems less wild
If you can crack a smile
The beasts turn more mild
Now let’s dance a while

And a 1 and a 2
Here’s a smile for you
Ya know… do the Do-si-do
And Skip to My Lou
Put your left foot in
Put your left foot out
Shout! Win-win
Do the hoochie coochie coo
