LYRICS
Like never before
Let’s see what’s in store
Like never before
Open your door

Don’t let some knee-jerk jerk
Knock you all about
Don’t let a karma quirk
Block, block, block. Shut you out.

LYRICS
There’s a love that I know
It’s starting to grow
There’s a love that I grow
Lord, please let it show

I’ve been racking my brain
Over your sweet refrain
Gonna drive me insane
If it goes inane

Chorus

I’ve been tracing my thought
Over why and why not
Should the battle be fought
Live, liberty, happiness is a lot

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here comes one walkin’ the dog
There’s one struttin’ outta the fog
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle a little bit
But, but, but, but, but, butt

People to the left
Talkin’bout black
People to the right
Talkin’bout white
Are people deft
On the attack
In spite of spite
Move to all right, alright?!?!

From the feet up the leg
Or, the head down the back
For more n’ more n’ more I beg
You know I love. A natural fact

People to the left
Talkin’bout black
People to the right
Talkin’bout white
From the feet up the leg
Or, the head down the back
We meet at the butt, but…
Sorry, I didn’t mean to make an ass of myself

Chords — Capo 2
Em walked down from top

A 1-track stereo recording made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song was inspired while sitting on the wall of the Courthouse and writing music. A couple young black “rappers” came and sat next to me on my left. Then, a white “cowboy” came and stood to my right. While I played the guitar, they started rapping back and forth at/with each other; however, despite our differences, we all agreed about the anatomy of the females that were walking by.

LYRICS
Come on, come on, come on
The bands already on stage
Time to, time to, time to
Let the animals outta their cage

Chorus
We’re going to a party tonight
So far, the day’s been outta sight
We’re talkin’ more than alright
In fact, it’s been a party all day
Wouldn’t cha, wouldn’t cha, wouldn’t cha say

Come on, come on, come on
Like children let us engage
No time to, no time to, no time to
Start acting your age

Chorus

Somehow, somehow, somehow
This is totally nuts right now
Anyhow, anyhow, anyhow
I’m speechless… like wow

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E B

A 1-track stereo recording made in the USA (Ambler, Montgomery County and West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song was inspired by a new friend, Adam. He heard me writing the music to this song while playing acoustic guitar on the streets of Ambler, PA. First, he just stood there in awe. I stopped playing and introduced myself. He got on the Internet and checked KingArthur.com. That’s when Adam said, “This is totally nuts right now!”

Posted on by admin

PART 1
In the solidarity of your solitude
Will you find
More than rhyme
In the solidarity of your solitude
Will it come back
You were just a little too rude

Will you blame it on the moon
Will you say your time came too soon
Can you say your time came too soon

Solidarity Of Your Solitude Part 1.mp3

PART 2
In the solidarity of your solitude
If you lock yourself in a closet
In some sort of insane, crazy bet
That you’ve come to regret
It’s not to hard to open the door

Turns out your solitude
Has nothing to do with being rude
This question.. this inquisition
You must ask yourself
That it was never your intention to be rude
Then you should move on and begin
Just like you know you could
Don’t let them get you down
You’ve got to keep on keeping on
’cause there’s people like me
That are glad you’re around

LYRICS
Let’s get real close
But, give me room to breathe

Your industrial noise pollution
Isn’t part of a harmonious solution

Less of a dose
My consciousness retrieve

Why spit n’ shit
In another’s face
Just bring disgrace
On the human race

Let’s get real close
But, give me room to breathe

Stead a love infusion
Peace and understanding lotion
Passing through any hate illusion
To a felling of no one losing

LYRICS
We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

In case you’re a menace to society
Lock you up… throw away the key

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

If you’re lucky
The happy monkey
With a purple crayon
The wall you write upon

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

RESPONSE
Hey! You may wanna hesitate
Before you cast your fate
Before you mess with the charm of…
A karma

I was sitting at the corner of Market and High Streets. Two former courthouses are the location. What is Barnaby’s today, was the original courthouse. In the basement, the windows are still barred on the holding cells.

LYRICS
Can’t you see
The difficulty
With transparency
Maintaining any modesty

Chorus
See what everyone espouses
Living in glass houses
See what everyone exposes
Living in glass houses

You can see
Dirty laundry
Lay sight
On the people of might
Sneak peak
They’re really quite meek

Left alone
Or cast the first stone
Doesn’t really matter
If you shatter
Your glass home

LYRICS
Won’t you play me some of that nice music
The kind that makes the kids skip quick
Won’t you play me some of that music
That’ll make me part of the cosmic fabric

Chorus
The ones that make you feel alright
Songs to make the shadows bright
One that will get ya through the night
Song to lift my spirit to the highest heights

Weave me into the dreams of the universe
With the rhyme and tempo for a catchy verse
Something I can grasp… not too perverse
That repeats in my head like a blessed curse

LYRICS
Maybe for you it’s numbers
Maybe for you it’s the day of the week
The month or the day
Or the year
The year of the snake
The year of the monkey
Maybe you can see sound
Chromesthesia

Chromesthesia

What if I could hear what you could see
What if you could see what I could hear
Well, we can
And, it’s coming in clear
Just got to tap into the part of the brain
Not insane at the membrane

You can see what you can hear
Chromesthesia

Maybe you’ve got to do a spinal tap
Or some sort-of Buddhist chant
Or maybe you can connect
Just like that

’cause you can see what I hear
And, it’s coming in clear
Sometimes like lines
Other times like fireworks
Sometimes like lines
No one is quite sure how it works
Chromesthesia

Neurological miracle

Here we go
Like a rainbow

Chords — Bb BbM7

LYRICS
They say, they say
We’re out of the Golden Age
We’re past the Uranium Age
We’ve entered the Plutonium Age

Say, say what do you say?

Even after generation upon generation upon generation
Upon sage upon sage upon sage
We rolled out of the Golden age

“You are now leaving the Golden Age”
How will you ever manage?

They say we’re leaving the Golden Age
Going past the Uranium Age
Must be in the Plutonium Age
A nuclear nightmare
Stay clear

I guess we’ve left the Golden Age… left it far behind
The how to be kind kind
The kind of kind that would mind
Do you find that you mind
All the things that society brings

I guess we’ve left the Golden Age
Entering the time of severe rage
Let our animal instincts think
And, we don’t mind not being kind

Acting like a mean old junk yard dog
Acting like a hog
Acting like a junk yard dog
Howling at the moon
None too soon, we’ll be left howling at the moon

They say we’ve left the Golden Age
At the nucleus, we’ve turned nuclear
Exactly as we did fear
Time to wear military gear
Now, your task
Get a gas mask
They’ll be dropping bombs
Sending you flying to your tomb

Don’t want that coming too soon
Just howling at the moon

Enjoy each day
As if it’s your last
’cause every lifetime is sure to pass

Conquer our strife
Keep evil at bay
The fortune to tell you
You’re found the right way

Come into the light

I’m happy to tell you
It’ll turn the sky blue… from the darkest of grey

Stampede Of Our Own Confusion.mp3

LYRICS
Who let the fox in the hen house again?
(repeat x3)

As long as we don’t cluck
And, &^$% things up
If we all start panicking
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

Like sitting ducks on the first day of huntin’
(repeat x3)

Probably should take flight
Before we’re in their sights
If they all start shootin’
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about politicians and the herd mentality of citizens.

A stampede is an act of mass impulse among herd animals or a crowd of people in which the herd (or crowd) collectively begins running with no clear direction …
