LYRICS
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

In the morning, come clean from being so mean
In the evening, calm down
Find where the love is found
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Can you explain why you’re causing so much pain
How can you find joy in snatching a baby’s toy?
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Miss “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”?
Don’t you wanna know how large your heart can grow
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Does any brain remain
Certainly none sane
Be sure to save a piece
For understanding love and peace
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

If we want the human race
To endure for sure
Why not get ’em to laugh
… and, get ’em to laugh some more

Laughter our weapon on terror
Laughter the best deterrent to war

Laughter will trump the fear
Laughter shields those we hold dear

Laughter is what we’re after
Bring on the laughter faster and faster

Laughter – the best medicine
Bring on the laughter again and again

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. — Mark Twain

Greener pasture in store
Blue sky horizon (eyes on) high
Find a better way for me to throw this clay
Nestle a better vessel
Soul stored for the day

Impurity succumbs to the gravity
Form to the shape of a hairless ape
Dot the “I’s” and lace with grace
Occupy space with a brave face

When the Autumn comes
I fall all over you
There’s not much I can do
It’s the season to fall for you

Become aware there’s something in the air
Make a memory to share
You know we’ve got to let the summer go
Before you know — snow
(Yeah, here/hear we go)

Open up the window
I want to take in some more
One thing’s for sure
Open up the door lore
I want to take in some more
You know let’s go go-go
Out the door and take in some more

Fall All Over You.mp3

A celebration of Autumn.

Building a building
Meant to tear people down
Name’s misleading
There ain’t no justice in this town

All but lost and forgotten
To the core they are rotten

Take some time
And dare to look around
Reason… rhyme?
Ask but can’t be found

Lady liberty
Well, she just can’t see
She blindly
Weighs just to the mighty
(ways to balance the mighty)

Painting a painting
With a thousand words
Champion debating
Melting down their swords

In an attempt to quench my thirst
I dove in… headfirst

If you’re going to “go off the deep end”
You’d better go off the deep end
For if you go shallow
You will come to know
Your head is hollow

If shallow is your puddle
And through your life you muddle
Remember:
“Mud spelled backwards is dum”
Dum de dum de dum dum

Eat, drink and sleep
Going deep
Deep, deep, deep
Mental burst
Headfirst

See along the seaside
From where I reside
High above the landslide
Watching the rising tide

When I let the 3rd-eye see
A calm comes over me
Naturally, fell the be

Rise with the sunrise
Searching for surprise
High from enterprise
No matter the number of tries

Along with Venus and Mars
Pass between the stars
Far beyond the wars
In the vision that is ours

Over the rainbow
In a place I didn’t know
Letting the mind grow
We harvest what we sow

In the quest to survive the test
Do you really think it’s best
To forget the rest?

All the world is a stage
Of knowledge
The more you yearn to learn
the more you earn

Your wealth’s in mental health
The more you go the more you know
On with the show

The more you gave the more you save
The more you give the more live
Can’t take it to the grave

In the quest to pass the past
Observe the future coming fast
Facts are sure to last

Difficult to get
Hitting a moving target

Squeeze the trigger back
Focusing on “I”

Hitting a moving target
Pull with no regret

Mourn the turn of your first born

Just trying to get through
How are you suppose to learn

Robbed by the job… stolen heart throb
No relief any day

Better look where you’re going
Or without knowing
You could be gone
Before too long
Better look where you’re going

Have we all been distracted
Appalled at the way I acted
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Do we have “I’s” on both sides of our head
Haven’t heard a word that’s said
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Though we can see… walking blindly
Choosing to act unkindly
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Better look where you’re going
Or without knowing
You could be gone
Before too long
Better look where you’re going

Watch Out!.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA. When I started writing this song, a police officer that was driving by gave me the “hairy eyeball” instead of paying attention to where he was going. At the same time, a girl was walking across the crosswalk looking at her phone. We almost had one less police officer and one less pedestrian.

A shadow you’ll see
As you grow older
The light you will be

The way they look into each others eyes
It comes as no surprise
Another sure sign is the way they pine
When fate separates

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

One understands when they’re holding hands
It’s plain for all to see
Two hearts as one under the sun
“I do” for eternity

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

She loves his style of courtesy
When it comes to “loving me”
He loves her style — generosity
Spreading smiles… living free

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

Doing well with spirit (heaven’s) wealth

Will you transcend the sky
Because you decide to try

Feeling helpless
Oh so helpless
Alas, one more “unless”?
Hopelessly helpless
Helplessly hopeless
I must confess
I wish there was something I could do
I wish there was something I could do… for you
Feeling blue
Turns to black
There’s no turning back

There’s no place to hide
We’re along for the ride
See you on the other side

I don’t understand
I want to hold her hand
I want to save the life
… of my wife

Did you discover…
Your complaint of having to wait
Is over
Yes, wait less
Now you are wait-less
Your weightless
You’re weightless

Same ole fate
Meet-your-maker date
They say…
It could be any day

Angels are your wings
And other amazing things
Unfurled
Wonders beyond the world

I think you’re seeing heaven
Heaven, again
You know…
From whence one will come, one will go
Heaven, again

I’m so lonely without you at home
Yes it is
It’s Chris I miss

It’s so lonely at home without you
Can’t hardly cry myself to sleep
No matter how I weep
I don’t know what to do
When are you coming home
I feel so all alone
Where am I going now?

When is she coming home
When is she?
I’m so lonely
When is she?

Got a nice thick froth coming to a head
Bubbling over
Sense the effervescence essence getting put to bed
Bubbling over
An aroma that’ll raise you from a coma
Bubbling over
Not hard to tell when you love the smell
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”

Ya did pop the lid… the quirk to pop the cork
Bubbling over
You know how to make the glass overflow
Bubbling over
Finer than the finest wine… fine, fine, fine
Bubbling over
A perfect blend to help hearts mend
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”
Love bubbling over our
Happy hour

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly Hangs Head

LYRICS
As he looks to the floor
He can’t take any more
The resident President is an idiot
Fascist, racist, bigot

As he looks to the floor
How much more to endure?
A chief advisor
With a losing score

As he looks to the floor
How much more is in store
Trying to glorify the gore
Has he any clue? … I’m not sure

As he looks to the floor
Should I run for the door
When it rains, it’s going to poor
When he reigns, taking from the poor

Have you ever been warned
About the calm before the storm
Before all hell breaks loose
And you’re left swinging…
Under a noose
I’m getting into knowing
The winds of change are blowing
Giving heart attacks
To any heart that lacks

Give your heart an attack of love
Letting in light from above
Feel your heart start
Let the hate depart

Black is black
White is white
I’d say you’re out of the grey
Not so fine… crossing the line

Outback in the hills of Chester County
There’s a sight you’ve got to hear to see
Just bring a fiddle to solve the riddle
Do tell! A jig to keep you well
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
We’re starting ‘fore noon
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
Play ’til we’re under the moon

Groove in the grove in Chester County
It’s alright… the sound you’ll see
Strum a guitar, sing-a-long or hum
Yell! Swing to a melody so swell
Chorus

Far-out in the hills of Chester County
Picking tunes… a plentiful bounty
You know… tap a toe… let it go

I’ve heard you scoff
Hearts will soften
Now I’m off

To “out of here”
Like the wind, I”m blowin’
You know… I’m gone

One too many
Times you’ve said
In a furry
“I wish you dead”
I can see clear
To “out of here”
Like the wind, I”m blowin’
You know… I’m gone

Maybe I am
Sensitive
To sarcasm
I’d rather live

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
As we give it to Mother… gonna band Her
The cliff is stiff… it will survive
Will there be a human to hang alive?
Stubborn human gas in their own oven
Amazed rats built a maze into their cage

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Like buffalo over… Man’s in dnager
The cliff is stiff… it will survive
Will there be a human to hang alive?
Stubborn human gas in their own oven
Amazed rats built a maze into their cage

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Times couldn’t get more stranger

Kill themselves ’til there are no more

How many waves have crashed upon the beach
Is the number within reach
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

How close are you sitting to the sun
Does it feel so close that it’s got you on the run
Take the leap into questions running deep

If you can talk the talk
You can walk i on the boardwalk
Let your guitar do the talking
Feet dancing… forget the walking

How many tides have been high
Take a guess… go ahead n’ try
Memories you keep of questions running deep

Then, maybe you might know
How many tides have been low
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

Physics debate: negate hate?
Collapse of synapse
A blackhole stole your soul

The bargains in your basement
Are the toys in your attic
Again and again with disparagement
Enough to cut you to the quick

Chip off the old blockhead
Rest my case… put to bed
If you ask me
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Really no treat in the heat
Still tryin’ to learn concern
A homicide of the whole inside
Sacrificed soul to the blackhole

Mountain out of a molehill

And escape the hell of your groundswell

Going old school
For whom does the bell toll?
Meanwhile a child will smile
Everything will yearn to turn

Do you want a burdensome load
To carry to the end of your road?

Do you want to live in “#uck it!”
’till you kick the bucket?

Do you know why “we’re all gonna die”?
Is Promised Land pie-in-the-sky?

Pushing up daisies more than a maybe
From a man to a stardust baby

Everything will yearn to turn
Everybody will churn
Every body everywhere
Everybody every where

Is time something you can store
Am I a time capsule
In continuum on patrol

They say time The Avenger
Will make you a stranger
Foregone unknown into the future
Quick! Capture your soul with a picture

I’m not sure about saving time
The sands of time are too fine
Can’t keep them in an hourglass
Through the glass they pass

If a stitch in time saves nine
What about the tenth?
Are you going to save what’s mine
If so, at what length?

Can you save your life
Be immortality
Can you save your life
Be invincibility

Wake-up in the morning and walk out the door
How much more is in store?
I suppose I’m
A quantity of quality time

Did you ever wonder:
How much more you’ll endure?
Do you suppose time is measured, too?

With gravity I see we gravitate
From before to too late
As suggestion, a question:
Why would I want to wait?
Take advantage of having weight
Before the liquidation
Before we liquidate
Do you ask the question?

Where to begin when you’re whistling in the wind
You’ll find there’s no bind
When no one comes to mind

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is near to hear
If no one is around… did it really make a sound?

Can’t see the trees through the forest?
Then, perhaps it’s best
To find your kind mind
And, disregard the rest

Whistling In The Wind.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

If you describe someone as whistling in the wind, you mean that they are trying unsuccessfully to change something which cannot be changed.

A song about following your dreams. If you dream of making music, let it be heard. If no one hears it, is it really music? Don’t worry what other people might think or say. “Do or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda

Sleek Lines http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/2017/08/01/sleek-lines/ Tue, 01 Aug 2017 13:48:26 +0000 http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/?p=19095 LYRICS
The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
An art critic from the New York Times
Says your “lines are mighty fine”

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
At the very least a masterpiece
… like Picasso or Van Gogh
You know… Picasso or Van Gogh?

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
The parallel symmetry
It really, really gets to me

I am thinking museum
Quality obviously
I can see clearly
Your name on the marquee

Hearing with heart
Wonder who hears Her calling your part
Touched by thought
No taste goes to waste
Can you taste fulfilling your part

Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you
With your love… love true through
Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you

Which clothes did you choose
Does it impact how you lose
1st Amendment fashion statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Which rules did you choose
Does it impact how you lose
5th Amendment lack-of statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Which path did you choose
Does it impact singing blues
The pursuit of happiness
Paving the road to your bliss

Which constitution did you choose
Under the red, white and blue
The deferment of acknowledgement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

The people’s steeple
Is one under the sun
All inclusive
Belong to the club if you live
All the jive about being alive
Can all come true for you

The people’s steeple
None to soon will commune
Non-exclusive
Belong to the club if you live

Come on in to begin
Still elusive?
Not too late… start to live

Plenty of room to resume
Goin’ festive
Celebrate the fate “to live”

Scary clowns in the kitchen
Cookin’ up rotten stew for you
Evil minds are itchin’
A recipe rash from scratch will do

Waiter there’s a fly in my soup
I could swear I’ve been duped
The fox is in the white henhouse
Arouse! Fire, fire! There is a fire to douse

Scary clowns slicing and dicing
Half-baked vegetable state fruitcake
On the cake they put icing
To hide all the “knews” that is fake

Scary clowns are now serving
A feast to erase the least
Figure they aren’t deserving
Fatten ’em up to feed the beast

(What bout the fire to put out?)

Can I start workin’ it a bit
While I think on it
Fore sure, I’d love to know the big picture
… if I start, I can always quit

If I wait to hesitate
Lost time can’t regurgitate
Repeat: to time defeat

In “The End” ride off into the sunset
’til then, I’ve started to begin
My friend, forget about regret
As long as the time that’s mine is livin’

In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You are fine art removed from vanity
A perfect picture of compassion
With love you don’t ration

You’re giving away a sum
To anyone that wants some
Crossed the finish line, yet never done
Shinning brighter than the sun

Why don’t we all just do it
Hold all of us to it
Why not change the world
Before we get too old

In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You put optimism in opportunity
A pure champion of compassion
With love you don’t ration

Why is that mosquito looking at me
Doesn’t he know… I’m not that tasty
Have I turned cold blooded (extremely)
Emotionally flooded
Don’t want to turn cold-hearted
Has it already started?

Why do I cry “I don’t want to die!”
While I should be giving…
Singing praises to the living
Raising my hands high to the sky
Thankful I am I
Don’t want to turn cold-hearted
Has it already started?

Time to consider turning innards outward
I’ve missed the starting gun?
Time to enact giving it back forward
Goodbye kissed n ready to run

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Spittin’… smokin’… gettin’ ready to blow
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
You gotta go with the lava flow
We’ll start to get it
When She throws a fit

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Earth quake shake you to and fro
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Might just deal the final blow

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Pit Mother Nature as your foe
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Damn! Sure hate to see you go

Forego making a stand on a volcano
Try n’ chill down-low mellow
Forego making a stand on a volcano
Less consequences you get to know

Look around for the downpour
Reigning down on the poor
Poor bastards can’t take it any more
Look around for the downtrodden
Being ruled by the rotten
Poor bastards all but forgotten
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
An elixir for the grifter
Disrupting harmony
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
Watch him shake and break until nobody’s free

We’re found in the downpour
Raining down on our core
Rich bastards getting cleansed for sure
We’re found with the upbeat
Singing voices… dancing feet
Shuffle play and repeat

For those that think it’s best
The rest are just a pest
If you try to address their mess
They’ll pass the buck to the next
Patriot bull$hit
Political rhetoric

Do no harm? Sound the alarm!
Men in suits stole the loot
Savage beast… to say the least

For those that boast “I’m the most”
At last, first will be last
At last, last will be first
Their reign quenching our thirst
Redemption nation
Alienation salvation

Is justice justified
Is your hide on the ride
Was downside… now upside

I’m finding the utmost interest
In relativity
Feeling dependence on existence
Surreality
Trying to make sense
Of perception without senses
Perceive what I believe
Experience presence
Leap from “Ludwig’s Ladder”
Leave logic a tattered
Chaos theory delivery
The irony of destiny
Sixth sense third-eye I see

Spring from the last rung
Among angels in song
Soul music being sung
Time can’t be too long
In the essence of existence
Is the essence of existence
In the absence of existence
Will exist persist?

    A robot took my job away
    They don’t wanna pay a man to work these days
    Automation, I’ve heard it said…
    Is the best thing since sliced bread
    But, hey! Hey, hey, hey!
    I’ve got something to say
    A ‘bot took my job today
    (What are we going to do anyway?)

    Our future drama dilemma
    Puts pressure on our dogma
    As they reconstitute the absolute

    Cloud vortex gives birth

    That which is good in the East

    What did you have for dinner?
    What did you eat of supper?
    It sure looks like you ate hate
    With your eyes you pillage, loot and rape
    Do “know” wrong if I’m The Great
    Fill you innards with beast and fouls/fowls
    For Judgement Day when you spill your bowels
    When things get too dry
    The bird gives the dirt a try
    Splashing about in a dust bath
    Scorched earth from Man’s wrath

    This is the part of the song
    Where I ask you to sing along

    The suggestion of mortality
    The reality

    On the track
    And there is no turning back
    On the track
    Lightening from the smokestack
    Oh, let go! Let’s go

    On the track
    And the train is bearing down
    On the track
    Hit us like a rodeo clown

    On the track
    Time we all took this train back
    On the track
    Here we go! Citizens attack!

    On track
    And there is no turning back
    On track
    Lightening from our smokestack

    Cutting deals behind closed doors
    Above the law
    Below the belt
    Makes my face melt
    Leaving me in awe

    “Ahh, poor baby. Join the pity party.”

    Watching the past go past
    And, it’s sure going fast

    How sure is your footing on the precipice of the future
    How sure? For sure?
    Watching the past go past
    And, it’s sure going fast

    Presently I consider the present a present
    The recent present won’t persist
    No, it won’t last
    Men, grasp it while you can!
    Before it passes to past
    Watching the past go past
    And, it’s sure going fast

    Did you notice the crowd
    It’s loud!
    A mad dash to the finish line
    3, 2, 1… then, you’re out of time
    3, 2, 1…
    Then, you’re done

    Watching the past go past
    And, it’s sure going fast

    Which hunt!
    What the #uck?!?!?!
    Walks like a duck
    Quacks like a duck
    What the #uck?!?!?!

    Which hunt? Witch hunt? Which witch?
    Does a duck float?
    Does a witch gloat?
    Maybe the idea is not so remote
    Which/witch hunt
    Put him to the test
    At best
    If it grabs you by the ¢unt
    To be perfectly blunt….
    Which hunt
    Witch found
    But, will anyone come ’round
    To claim him… chance’s slim
    Thus, God save us

    Which hunt? Witch hunt? Which witch?
    The one who hangs ’em out to dry?
    Hang ’em high!
    Wait! News that’s fake

    To be perfectly blunt….
    Which hunt
    Witch found
    But, will anyone come ’round
    To claim him… chance’s slim
    Thus, God save us

    With none of that jazz or classical gas

    LYRICS
    They come from the far left
    The omniscient best
    They come from the far right
    When wrong they fight
    Where the middle of the road
    Must carry the load
    Beyond bizarre
    That far?
    Might as well be from Madagascar

    Do the Republican Can-can dance
    Everyone can drop their pants
    Do the Foxtrot with the Democrat
    Everyone smells like a rat
    Stand back!
    The pot calling the kettle black
    Pound fist!
    Racists race to call racists racist
    Beyond bizarre
    That far?
    Might as well be from Madagascar

    The cloud is a shroud
    Clouding the sun
    A veil to curtail
    The blue sky run
    The wind of change is gonna come
    n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

    Discover the cloud cover
    Blocking the sun
    Obscure the pleasure
    OF a blue sky run
    The wind of change is gonna come
    n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

    Storm clouds on the horizon
    Keep my eyes on
    If they don’t fade
    Gonna rain on the parade
    The wind of change is gonna come
    n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

    Out from below
    The cloud’s shadow
    No we’re not done
    The blue sky run
    The wind of change has come
    n’ blew ’em back to where they came from

    LYRICS
    Where did I go?
    I don’t know
    On the down-low
    Subterranean flow
    Please keep out an eye
    For I
    Haven’t been seen around
    Don’t know if I want found

    Are you aware
    Maybe I’m there
    And will you share
    Whether you care?

    What is about
    Stuck my head out
    Now there’s no doubt
    What I’m talkin’bout
    Please keep out an eye for I
    Many perils awry
    And, I don’t what to die

    Fish Out Of Water http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/2017/07/08/fish-out-of-water/ Sat, 08 Jul 2017 14:38:34 +0000 http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/?p=18909 LYRICS
    Watch the fish flail
    No water in the pail
    Watch the human fail
    In a self-imposed jail
    Help me break free
    For a happy end to the tale

    Baby bird fell from its nest
    Trouble passing the test
    Surely the humans jest?
    The wicked get no rest
    Help break me free
    A happy ending is best

    Cute little kitten in distress
    Cruel human could care less
    ’til no wind in his sail
    Talk about an epic fail
    Help me break free
    For a happy end to the tale
