Original Songs

© 1996, 2020 Cops are walking on the beat Nickel candy 'cross the street Not a homeless in the streets Parking spaces twenty feet I remember Jeep, and you There's too many hours and not enough time Too many prisons and not enough crime Too many songs with no one to blame Too many faces and not enough shame Simply wiser than his age Lessons taken from the stage He's been saving for some change Target practice at the range I remember Jeep, and you He's coming in on Monday And it's "a little behind" day He's gonna sue the soldier For doing not what he told you He's coming home to Mama So she can warn his Papa That all that's left of baby Is just a definite maybe, uh huh I remember Jeep, and you

© 2020 In my days, was no slave, I was a king With my knights, we would fight and always win How do you sow the seed of revolution You take the youth You take their money You take their future You teach them nothing When you've got nothing You got everything to lose And when you're finished You won't diminish The flames of raging youth Under the guise of 47 years Under the nose of everyone Hard to believe what we have seen these/this years/year Hard to forgive what you/we have done Fanning the fascists of a thousand years Fanning the fascists of our time Spreading the lies, the hate, the death and fear A true definition of a crime In my time, was no crime to start a war With my friends, we would dance on your son's corpse

© 2020 (with a bit of Pachelbel's 'Canon' in D) Paperback writer, paperback writer, paperback writer, you! I was raised by the Beatles I was raised by Paul John was me father When I was small All those nights by the fire Of a blistering rage Quelled my desire Of teenage swage No one is holding your hand She no longer loves you. The End. Four of my heroes Where are you now Two of you soaring And two kowtow As the world turns to cinders We are all forced to fight Where is your message Of love and light All of this time together No single day apart Through thick and stormy weather Why did you break my heart Sooner than later You will stand on both knees Begging for mercy From ones you appease As you spite from white towers All you deem are far-right Surely forgetting Your privilege is white No one is holding your hand She no longer loves you. The End. Paperback writer, paperback writer, paperback writer, you! you you you

© 1996, 2020 obviously inspired by the vintage Calgon (take me away) commercial :)) Take me away Far far away from all this bad Take me today Don't make me stay with all this bad It's the same old story - bad Never-ending worry Take me away to better days I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear about the noise This is the time to say you're sorry This is the place to face the glory Roll up your sleeves as you come to a home Where the chimney still stands and the walls are down Laugh with me Come on and try it Smile and grin I just don't buy it Laugh with me I want to see the sun Laugh with me I want to see the sun

© 2019, 2020 All the roads they lead to one None of them are you None of them are done (Wuhan) And the one I choose to you Better lead to one All of them are you (Wuhan) All but one, lead me home Take me home to you (Wuhan) All but one, lead me home Take me home to you Sowing the seeds in the winter Ram-shackled into the spring Free-falling into the summer Falter, rinse, and repeat Wuhan, Wuhan, Wu oooo han Wuhan, Wuhan, Wu oooo han And it's hard to know Revelations coming slow And it's hit and miss How can we go on like this?! I'm feeling under the weather I'm gonna get me some wine So long as we are together Everything's gonna be fine Wuhan, Wuhan, Wu oooo han Wuhan, Wuhan, Wu oooo han And it's hard to think All our minds are on the brink And it's hard to sleep Give us back our counting sheep!!! All the roads they lead to one None of them are you None of them are done (Wuhan) And the one I choose to you Better lead to one All of them are you (Wuhan) All but one, lead me home Take me home to you (Wuhan) All but one, lead me home Take me home to you Wuhan, Wuhan, Wu oooo han

© 2020 A little tale about Toledo Slow down señorita Smack in the middle of another town With every place I go I'm feeling so run down Stand still, sit down These fat food places they will rob you blind If I knew better I would eat my own behind "B+", bad sign Half smiling faces Slow motion races Birds crap on my car Another castle with another moat I'd change the scene but I can't find my own remote Witch/duck, don't float Try getting sleep on this forsaken street The walls are thinner than a sliced prosciutto meat I taste, they eat Birds crap on my car A little tale about Toledo Slow down señorita Smack in the middle... These fat food places... Another castle... Try getting sleep on...

© 2020 In another world In another place In another time Yes, with our flag unfurled Looking at the sky In another time If I close my eyes Will you see me through Through the darkest night Well it's up to you If I hold your hand Will you walk with me To the better end Of eternity Red white blue, where are you In the land of hope In the land of trust In the land of light Now, is your time to stand For the simple truth Of a better life If I trust in you Will you let me down Knowing through and through It's a stolen crown If I call your name Will you stand my ground Or sit still in shame Cry without a sound Red white blue, where are you In another world In another place In another time
