Monkey Around

Posted on July 29, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
I can BEARly believe it
No, cANT stand any more
The way you make a monkey
Out of me
Pilfer and rAPE the soul
ROBIN’ takes it’s toll
The way you make a monkey
Out of me

If you rolled out the barrel
We could have a lot more fun
Add a hamster and a squirrel
On a wheel… watch ’em run

hoDOGs and CATsup in a row
pASS refreshments for the show
Watching you make a monkey
Out of me
You can pick your friends
But don’t pick your seat
Standing room only
To witness this feat
Watching you make a monkey
Out of me

Everywhere Angel

Posted on July 26, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
All of a sudden
Everywhere
There’s angels
Before unnoticed
The crowd intermingles
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

All of a sudden
Starting to love
All these angels
A gift from above
Less oblivious
Than most of us
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

Heaven on Earth
Thankful for birth
For sure
The universal treasure
With most worth
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

Pig Fly

Posted on July 26, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
When a unicorn farting butterflies
Fails to surprise
I realize
Low and behold
The pot at the end of a rainbow
May not be full of gold
As I was told
It might take searching near and far
To find out where the facts are

When a pig that jigs
Takes off and flies
Fails to surprise
I realize

When a grieving mother
Breaks down and cries
Fails to surprise
I realize

When you give up “tries”
And all hope dies
Fails to surprise
I realize
Low and behold
The pot at the end of a rainbow
May not be full of gold
As I was told
It might take searching near and far
To find out where the facts are

All I could see were clouds in my coffee
Now, I can see more clearly
Now, I can see more clearly

Save Me

Posted on July 24, 2019July 24, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Must be under some sort of spell
Oh well farewell
Released blunder from south of hell
Oh well farewell

Save me from humanity
Insanity
There’s rarity in clarity
Clearly we be
(To be, being, been)

This isn’t a drill
Oh well farewell
Hope you’ve got the bill
Oh well farewell

No longer somber dwell
Oh well farewell
Neurons on the jell
Oh well farewell

Holding the answer? Do tell
Oh well farewell
Can’t unring the bell
Oh well farewell

Do It Again

Posted on July 24, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
You did it before
Can you do it some more?
Can you do it again
I think you can
Begin again

It should be easy now
You’ve got it down
Find it in you some how
To go one more round

Now that you’re done with your practicing
Maybe we can begin enjoying

The rarity in familiarity
With the essence of a nuance

The Corner of Your I

Posted on July 16, 2019July 16, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Looking out of the corner of your “I”
Wondering… what did you spy?
(And why?)
Why do the birds that sing
Wait for the spring to bring
Fancy songs of fantasy
We see. We be. We are so far.

Looking through the lens of your phone
Suddenly realize… I’m not alone
(At home)
Why do the birds that sing
Wait for the spring to bring
Fancy songs of fantasy
We see. We be. We are so far.

Behind a pair of glasses
The “I” I see flashes
Why do the birds that sing
Wait for the spring to bring
Fancy songs of fantasy
We see. We be. We are so far.

Underneath the leash and chain
Underneath collar and mane
Why do the birds that sing
Wait for the spring to bring
Fancy songs of fantasy
We see. We be. We are so far.

ABOUT THE SONG
Apparently, when I’m writing a song, I go into a special zone or something. Yesterday I was writing a song at Gay Church Market and High Streets, and discovered 3 people and a dog keeping their eye on me. So, I wrote about them 🙂

The Wake-up Lullaby-bye

Posted on July 15, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
It’s time to put the kids to bed
With pleasant thoughts to fill our heads
I love you
I love you, too
Sweet dream… in bed
Pillow and head
At the very least
May we rest in peace

With pleasant thoughts to fill our heads
I love you
I love you, too
Sweet dream… in bed
Pillow and head
At the very least
May we rest in peace

House Fire

Posted on July 15, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
What’s all the fuss
What’s all the rush
Must be something dire
Accident or fire
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}

Release of police
Belly of the beast
Oppressing the least
Watch the beast feast
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}

All the lights and noise
Killing all the joys
Shutting down the street
Stepping on the beat
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}

ABOUT THE SONG

The Savage Of Average

Posted on July 14, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
You don’t always find what you seek
You don’t always hide your mystic
The mean seems to be in between
The savage of average

You don’t always give what you take
You don’t always take what you give
In The End there’s a chance
It will balance… out
Rebels shout

If you seek you might find
That there’s others seeking kind
Seek and find the kind kind
Rewind

Look back and inspect
Search for the respect
In your retrospect

LYRICS
Come on! Wake up!
Take it down
Prescribed scribe
Message bound
Do you have your pad and pencil
Take it down way down
Do you have your pen and paper
Take it down way down

Come on! Shake up!
Write it down
The message sage
Now you’re found
Do you have your pad and pencil
Take it down way down
Do you have your pen and paper
Take it down way down

Come on! What’s up?
Jot it down
Unpeel appeal
Report the real
Do you have your pad and pencil
Take it down way down
Do you have your pen and paper
Take it down way down

Come on! Time’s up!
Get it down
Spread the new knews
Be the knews hound
Do you have your pad and pencil
Take it down way down
Do you have your pen and paper
Take it down way down

We can make this work… out
We can make this work
Twerk a new knee-jerk… bout

Swing a hammer with… wrist
Grab a mallet clench

We can make this work
Out a primal scream… shout
Shout a primal scream
Wrestling demons

Wrestling demons
Sometimes summons
Revved resurrection
