LYRICS
Don’t you worry about your dancing shoes
No matter how ya hoof it you can’t loose
Dancing and singing the boogie woogie blues

How can you turn the page living in the digital age
Look out find music as your sage
True is what true is dancing the boogie woogie blues
You can’t loose with the boogie woogie blues

When Eden’s fruit falls from the tree
It doesn’t blemish… it doesn’t bruise
Oh, can’t you seeeeeee…
Listening and dancing the boogie woogie blues

LYRICS
Always living like it’s my last day
You know in some way
We’re all going to leave this rat race in dismay

Not slowly in pain I pray
Or too soon cutting in on my play
Any way…

Never know if it’s your last day
No need to wonder
We all end up six feet under

Wanna be a dread ’till dead
Push comes to shove I’d rather love
Keep the Reaper at bay

Gonna live to the fullest each and every day
What did Neil say?
Heard Old Neil talk about ‘er… thought I heard Neil say…
Better to burn out than fade away?
I hope Neil Young does remember… mankind needed him ’round anyway

Yes you! In the end, the love you give… and then some/sum, too

Go your way
Hey, hey, hey
You can go our own way
The prophets say, “Go your way!”

In hindsight, there was a tid-bit of Fleetwood Mac and Yes influence… but for the most part this is an impromptu spiritual.

LYRICS
It goes in one ear and right out the other
You growing tatters in there?
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Or, are you unaware
Do you even care
If it’s in error

It goes in one ear and right out the other
Hear what’s goin’ on here?
Sister, brother…
Friends and neighbors lend me an ear
It’s very clear
Truth’s drawing near

LYRICS
What do you know about that?
Sly fox writes the rules in the rabbit habitat

Chorus
As for man, do you know
What is our part (2) All if and but (3) If he even tries
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
How far will we all go
Astray at heart (2) With glutton gut (3) With mesmerize eyes
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow

What do you know about that?
The King Of Beasts takes least compared to our feast

Chorus

What do you know about that?
The vulture only fine dines on the afterdeath of culture

LYRICS
Through the gauntlet to the guillotine
When you get caught up, get caught up, get caught up…
In the money machine
It’s through the gauntlet to the guillotine

When you get caught up, get caught up, get caught up…
In the money machine
The people are nice…
They’re oh so mean

You’d hope you’d wake from this dream
’cause it’s too obscene
See what you can bring to the scene

You would think enough stink
You would have thought we’ve had enough to drink of that stink

Through the gauntlet to the guillotine
’till you’ve seen everything obscene

Why would you stretch the neck for the blade
Get out of the sun and into the shade
Before you know how to swim, you’d better just wade
Out of the sun and into the shade

LYRICS
If you’re gonna pray, you might as well say
“I pray that I get it right!”
If you’re gonna say you might as well pray
“I pray that I get this right!”

Better pray, better pray all through the night
Better pray, better pray all through the day
Better pray as I work at working it into my work
Better pray as I work at working at what I play

LYRICS
I think I
I think I am
I think I can begin

I think it’s time to think
Crawl out from undercover
Crack a smile and wink
True love can never smother
Hug another like your lover
Hug another like your mother
Hug another

Smile, nod… or just say “hi” as they’re passing by
It’s not outrageous for something good to be contagious

Do my part
To start a heart
Let the hate depart

Ya know hate’s got to go
Pack his bag and stow
On the last train to “I don’t know”

LYRICS
What do I believe in?
I believe in the freedom of speech
That let’s me speak my mind
My right to point out someone viscous, savage… or kind
I believe in the freedom to believe in religion
Or the those that choose no diving discipline
My God!
Believin’ in believing in believing

I believe I can walk the walk
Given the freedom to talk, talk, talk
I don’t believe a bit in being a hypocrite
I do believe we should teach the children this bit

Daniel Brouse Philadelphia Songwriter
Writing the song Todays over Interstate 95 at South Street and Penns Landing

In the yesterdays
There are ways
To consider them good
But, while there’s todays
Great we would

Great to be free

Of Soulitary confinement
Excellently
Don’t want to reach
Contentment
Don’t want a speech
On resentment

Got all our needs
Need no more than
The birds and bees
Enough of the greed
Filled all our needs
Need no more than
The birds and bees

Posted on by admin

What you want
Can’t always be
Achieved as conceived

If only…

What you want
You’ll always need
Unless you concede
To succeed

Never bleed

If you could only read the signs
Because they’re everywhere
If we were aware
To pay a little bit of attention
To what’s around
The answer’ld be found

What we want
You’ll always need
Unless we concede
To succeed

A flood of blood
We’ll bleed
Unless we have faith
In heaven above
Unless we have faith
In the power of love

We’ll always want
What we need
We’ll always need
What we want
