Posted on by admin

LYRICS
To refrain from going insane
It try to maintain play every day
When I was very young
I started to hum
Wasn’t too long ’til you could hum along
The period brief ’til I had teeth
This’ll be my time to whistle
Then look at me learn to tickle ivory
How about a bugle call to rally ya’ll
To come out and play a song
Or just sing along
And if by chance you can dance?
We might even foster romance
Faster foster, foster faster… enhance

The years went by and I didn’t die
So, I gave the guitar a try
Took me back to the days
When I was young
And learned how to hum
Though through the years there was grief
At least I still have my teeth
So, this’ll be the break to whistle
[whistle Andy In Mayberry Theme song]

LYRICS
If you look around
You just might find
It’s not that hard
To be kind
Open the window
Into your soul
Define humanity’s goal
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

If you look outside
Then above
It’s not that hard
To find love
Open the window
Into your soul
Define
Your earthly role
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

Done the look within
Now look out
It’s not that hard
To find out
Light escapes
The black hole
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

Look at me
Was blind now see
The way that things
Can be
The though in “we”
Eventually
Creates our destiny
Wills free
Freewill ’til
Eternity

LYRICS
If I knew now, what I knew then
When I knew now, if I knew then
I suppose I’m one of those
IN the here and now
So, somehow it’s not hard to see
Not for “we” when we’re bright
IN the light
Not hard to see wrong from right
When it’s in the light
Understanding when your standing
Not hard to see, really
When it’s in the light
If I knew now
Now from then
What I knew than when?
Not hard for me to see
Not hard for me to see we
When we see
In the light
Wrong from right
When it’s in the light

LYRICS
I’m dying to meet you
Every day I’m on my way
Dying to meet you
Every day from babe to grave
Dying to meet you
Every day one less saved
One day closer to the grave
Dying to meet you
Good, God!
I’m not dead yet
With all due respect
Please forget

I can’t wait ’til a later date
Dying to meet you
And make do
With the love
Waiting to meet you

On your marks, get set

Assume your position with all your passion
On your marks, get set
Flow!

Joined the race to embrace the pace
On your marks, get set

Float in the traffic of the human fabric
On your marks, get set

You don’t need a paddle
Can’t sprain a leak
Now you’re back in the saddle

LYRICS
Weighing heavy on the bow, now
When the bow bends
When the bow breaks
It’s more than my baby can take
Wailing in the wind, wow
When the wind blows
My brow will break
Watching my baby fall for me
Changing destiny
Cry, baby, cry
Cry
Turn to the East
Turn to the West
As you fall from your nest
Turn to the one you love best!

LYRICS
Now, I’ve been watching for quite some time
Trying to make reason into rhyme
While all the while
I should have been listening
Like a child
… all the while like a child

Instead of monkeying for all these years
And throwing wrenches into the fears
Should’ve been listening
Eyes (I’s) glistening
… all the while like a child

All that meddling in muddying madness
All for naught…
… but a knot in nooses
The sadness of useless
When ya could’ve been listening
Positioning for listening
… all the while like a child

bookmark_border“Being” Redundant

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
[whistling intro]
Picking cotton, bailing hay
They say there was a day
Feeling what it means
To be replaced by a machine
Been retired to “being” redundant
Me in redundancy
(redundancy is me, me, me)
Redundancy… O.K.
Gov.UK
Redundancy your rights? Alright!
Redundancy pay
(redundancy is me, me, me)

I think I’ve found a way
To my payday
I see looking through employment opportunities
I could become important
As a redundancy consultant
Yes! Redundancy is an ever expanding field
Think of the potential profit yield

The ever increasing demand of Man
Feeling what it means
“Being” replaced by machines

LYRICS
Just in case ya don’t get to do it twice
I’m living it up every day and night

You can have your heaven
And, eat it, too
But if I ain’t alive
It just won’t do

’cause if you ask me
Heaven is livin’
So, thank the heavens
For the life I’m given

Hey, look! Another moment to cherish
Love the movement before I parish
Just in case ya don’t get to do it twice
I’m living it up every day and night

LYRICS
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
When at first I did arrive
They say when I became alive
Those were the days of freedom
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
With each day it did erode
With every flush of the commode
Insane! Down the drain with freedom
How come?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
Now be careful what you say
We had better “walk this way”
Watching freedom fray… how come?
Freedom
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
A little more every day
Slipping, slipping, slipping away
who let the freedom come undone?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?

LYRICS
Take a look
Take a look around
Take a look
Looking up and down
Take a look
Take a look about
Take a look
Lookin’ in n’ out
Is it me, is it you
That we’re passing through
Is it me, how about you
Are we passing through glue
Now here’s what we can do
I think I’ve found a clue
The love on which we feed
Will give us godspeed
She’ll lead

LYRICS
The ice is cracking under your feet
You’d better not wait
To spread your weight
Toward the shoreline I’d retreat
You’d better not wait
Noooo… I wouldn’t hesitate

Avoiding the frozen depths
Plunging dark and deep
Embracing the length and breadth
Death at arm’s length keep
… life kept

The wind is blowing you off your feet
You’d better not wait
To drop your weight
Don’t want to fall on your seat
You’d better not wait
Nooo… I wouldn’t hesitate

The lesson: Mother Nature I can not defeat
Nor can I outwait
The human is a light weight
I’ll show respect ever time we meet
Smile, bow, with open arms greet

LYRICS
This is a time
This is a place
The time is now
The place is here
To know the now
To hear the here
The time I’m
In… the race —
Earthling
Is the thing
… an earthling thing
Please don’t ask
“Take me to your leader”
Our leader is a bottom feeder
We have no meaning
For “intelligent being”
Despite my strife
* NO Intelligent Life *

Coincidentally, I was writing this song right before the news of Stephen Hawking’s death… the last intelligent life on Earth?

LYRICS
Sitting over here
In deep thought
About
Over there
Is it really that much different from
Over here?
(over there… can you overhear over there?)

As you’re already occupying
Over there
I suppose it would hard to share
And compare
Over there to over here over there
Anyway, I’m guessing
If I was sitting
Over there
The only big difference in my view
Would be me… sitting on you
Might cause a big tadoo?
(A big tadoo me sitting on you)
So, for now… ’till I figure out how
I’ll just think a bit and sit
Over here
Hey! I’m talking to you… did you
Overhear over here over there?

LYRICS
There’s no need to bring the
Boys home
(No need to bring the boys home)
When you’re piloting
A drone
The boys are already home

Oops! When there’s too many maybe’s
You end up dropping bombs on babies
Minimizing my strife
Winds up in loss of human life

There’s no need to bring the
Boys home
(No need to bring the boys home)
When you’re launching
Missiles
There are no more “miss ya’s”

[rave-up into jam]

The cost because of camouflage
Mired in the fog of a mirage
The depth of death’s carnage
Label us the “barnyard age”
… in the age of the boneage
(animal noises)
