LYRICS
Here comes the little engine
Chugging along
Imagine a little engine
That thought that he could
Imagine the little engine
Eventually would
’cause he thought that he could
A song for chuggin’ on
A song for chuggin’ along

There goes the little engine
Passin’ by again
Only a matter of when
When you think that you can
Pick yourself up… try again
And soon you’ll be chuggin’

Pullin’ Christmas toys
For all the girls and boys
Bringing holiday cheer
To those we hold dear

LYRICS
Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
What havoc you bring
Now, won’t you be a darling
Alas,
Careful the door doesn’t hit you in the ass

Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
Champion of the trashing/trashing
Now, won’t you please be a darling
Alas,
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass

Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
Overbearing and demanding
Now, once you’re done your damning
Alas,
Careful the door doesn’t hit you in the ass

LYRICS
Do you want to cause the Grim Reaper some grief?
Well, Mamma always said…
Look both ways before crossing the street
A different drummer
March to the beat
Causing Grim Reaper defeat

Do you want to cause the Grim Reaper some grief?
Well, Mamma always said…
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Time is dawning
On a new day

Do you want to cause the Grim Reaper some grief?
Well, Mamma always said…
There’s a lesson in choosing your poison
Let the light shine in
And, on and on

Posted on by admin

This is a song about feedback loops. Do you know what they are? They will likely kill you, your children and your grandchildren.

LYRICS
Da, doi! To ourselves duped
By our own feedback loop
Feedback looped

This ain’t no scoop (It’s old knews)
I ain’t screaming “extra, extra, extra…
Read all about it”
Da, da, da
I’m meanin’
I ain’t screamin’
Da, da, da
Forget about it

Hear and him
Fell victim
To the feedback loop
And, it’s going down
In your town

I mean literally
And, well…
As well
As… figuratively
[When you eat in, you poop
Feedback loop]

LYRICS
What do yo say we see
’bout increasin’ love’s potency
So that just a dab will do
To cure whatever’s ailing you
The cure for sure
Hate’s remedy

There’s got to be a way, surely
Of increasing love’s efficiency
So that just a pinch will do
Cure whatever’s ailing you
The cure for sure
Hate’s remedy

Try n’ get close per dose
Of saving humanity
Corrects all side effects
No anxiety… you’re not dizzy
The cure for sure
Hate’s remedy

LYRICS
Putting some spunk
In the way that I walk
Putting some funk
In the way that I talk
Brighten the day
Brighten the way

Add a little spice
And roll the dice
Take a little chance
It’ll add some romance
Brighten the day
Brighten the way

Are you feeling thankful
On Thanksgiving Day
Then, sing and dance
Let the music play
Brighten the day
Brighten the way

Are you feeling blessed
Bring on Christmas Day
Come sing and dance
Let the music play
Brighten the day
Brighten the way

I caught a ride on an angel with wings
Who knows what sojourn this brings
Sojourn… so journey on

Come ride on an angel with wings
Sure looks like we’re on adventure…

Catch a ride on an angel that sings
Ohhhh…
Hallelujah ahhhhh

LYRICS
What has become of common courtesy
Have we lost all respect for dignity
As the tyrant, have we no mercy
The tyrant in you
The tyrant in me

What has become of common decency
Have we lost our compassion for diversity
As the tyrant, do we just rant and rave
The master as slave
Can’t behave

The tyrant in you
The tyrant in me

LYRICS
A cold wind penetrates skin
Until hearts are freezin’
A cold wind is blowin’ in
A deep freeze about to begin

Maybe the glitter of snow in the winter
Will split the hate and cause it to splinter
Use the hearth of love to warm hearts
Until a new season starts

Individuality of a snowflake
The Christmas Spirit at stake
May your soul remain unique
And your love reach its peak

Chorus

Peace on Earth goodwill toward all
Will help prevent Man’s great fall
Peace on Earth goodwill toward all
Bring the advent of the gentle

LYRICS
Slap on a trial smile
Give it a chance for a little while
If a frown you lack
The world smiles back

Once you begin to grin
It’s amazing what starts happenin’
Be so bold to laugh out loud
See if you can start a crowd

Working on our collective humor
Laugh until we can laugh no more
Tickle your fancy… do a happy dance
And just for fun give love a chance

The state of the union is no joke
Roust the spirits… give ’em a poke
Maybe it is time we stand to see
How we’ll go down in history

I can't use it any-more

Coversong originally made famous by ELO

D        A             G
In this life I've seen ev'rything I can see, woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've see babies dancin' in the midnight sun
I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men cryin' at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sittin' watchin' picture slides
G     D          A            G
But I never seen nothin' like you

D            A       G
Do ya, do ya want my love? x4

Well, I heard the crowd singin' out of tune
As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you

In the country where the sky
Touches down on the field
She lay her down to rest in the mornin' sun
They came -a-runnin' just to get a look
Just to feel, to touch her long black hair
They don't give a damn
But I never seen nothin' like you

Do ya, do ya want my love?

Well I think you know
What I'm tryin' to say, woman
That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know
That I've got to get it all
To get it all to grow

Do Ya (ELO Cover).mp3

This time the boat’s not missed
I’ve come to understand blissed
Nothing more to be confessed

I can see to heaven’s gate

An eternal glimpse of who I am

Where all things are said and done
