And, eat it, too
Sampling apple dumpling

More than two
Are you telling me
All you an eat for free?

Travelin’ miles
For service n’ smiles
Another run around the sun
When it’s all said and done
Can’t wait ’til next year
When my birthday draws near
Heading back to East Earl
For another whirl

LYRICS
Grab your hoe
Come on let’s go
What we reap is what we sow
Probably should water good
Adding to the neighborhood

[chorus]
Generation germination
Pant my seed
Grows like a weed

Hey, maybe our baby
Falls close to the tree..
Guess we’ll see
Probably
Sprout nine months out
Isn’t that what life’s about
[chorus]

Sometime soon… around noon
Shady Maple’s fork and spoon
Pops, son n’ me… family three
Generations dinning happily

It’s So Hot….

admin — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:53:03 +0000

LYRICS
’cause when I try
To see the sky
It’s so hot
I see why not
If I don’t die
I’ll surely fry
And If I try
To tear and cry
It’s so hot
I see why not
If I try n’ cry
The ducts run dry
Wade into shade
The heat won’t fade
It’s so hot
I see why not
Inside the oven
There’s no escapin’
Like six of one
Or half a dozen
It’s all the same
When the heat’s insance
Sizzlin’ I am
Sizzlin’
I’m sizzlin’

Re, re, re, re, restraint
Wears thin

Rub on passionate

In appreciate

Taking off kid gloves
Spilling my guts
Please don’t think I’m nuts

The passion
The person
Love… or something akin
Then again… our offspring is our kin?

The Great Unknown

admin — Mon, 18 Jun 2018 14:54:32 +0000

LYRICS
Is there any place you own
Out in the great unknown?
Did you happen to save a cave
A quasi-hermit habitat
Or some place such as that?
Further out than under a bridge
Yet/Left undiscovered by the kids
A higher path than on the ridge
Yet/Left undercover without lids
Gone reeling/realing through the ceiling
Far, far away yet at home
Far, far away the great unknown
Can you ever be alone with yourself
Ask the elf on the shelf
Can you ever be alone with yourself?
Ah, the great unknown
If you ask me
How can that be
I guess me, myself and I are we
Alone in the great unknown

E7                                              D   A
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you been putting me through
You took my money and my cigarettes
I haven’t seen the worst of it                                                 
C                         G            D         A  A7      
I wanna know, can you tell me why won’t you stay
                E7       D A          E7                    D A  
Take me to the river,           Drop me in the water 
E7                     D A            E7                    D A  
Take me to the river.                   Dip me in the water     Washing me down
E7                     D A  
Washing me down

I don't know why you treated me so bad
Think about the  things we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
C                         G            D         A  A7
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay

Washing me      Hold me Love me Please me  tease me     Til I Can’t Til I Can’t
[Solo] 

I don't know why I love you like I do
After the changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burn on my wall
Then tell me who is the biggest fool of them all
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay

LYRICS
With that look
You’d think you’d spook
On a hook
You’re a prehistoric dish
For a post-modern fish
Can you imagine this:
Swimming around
Submerged in a lake
What nature serves
Is grateful intake
Fly, dragonfly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
You’re about to die
In case you missed it
Survival of the fit

With that look
Who’d think you’d cook
Off the hook
Homo sapien’s dish
Is the postmortem fish
Can you imagine this?
I sure can
From frying pan
Into man

LYRICS
Are my eyes tricking me
Is that really what eye see?
Do you believe in destiny
Or is it fantasy
A face
Reflecting off the surface
The age
Of my image
Is the mirror real
Or two dimensional
Missing dimension
Feel flat… unsensational
A reflection
Of the person
Ventures into known
Now own thy own
Grown into thy own
Now you’ve grown into your own

God, though you may find it odd
I hope I’m not asking for too much

Believe it or not, that’s what I’m asking for

Forever waving
Over the saving
Red, white and blue
And, black and blue, too
Now, whatcha gonna due/do?
Let hatred, greed… disguised as need
Stifle you?

Silence you
Racist, fascist, nationalist
Can’t you see
Let them be
Evident as a “failed”
Where they lie the die experiment
Where they die they lie

The Epic Break-up Song

LYRICS
Alright
It starts off nice and calm
… when we’re still in love

I thought you said you’d love me
You’d love me till The End
And, then…
It was The End

Things are looking brighter now
And, I know somehow
I’ll find my way out of here
I’ll find my way clear

You said you’d never go
Now, I know
It’s time to go

No blood and guts?
You’ve gone nuts
There’s enough blood and guts
You’ve gone nuts

Did you hear about the thing
With David and a sling
Took aim
Rendered lame
After all
The bigger they come
The harder the fall
Then, my Son, there’s Samson

With an ass’ jawbone
Nevertheless
One thousand laid to rest

Does it happen
You choose your weapon
To be keen
Or is it all
’bout being mean?

LYRICS
How much despair do you have in there
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Still not knowing
Where you’re going
Will you survive
Being alive
Whether we try
We all will die
Friend, why not stay till The End

How much repair do you have to bear
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Understand I’ll hold your hand
There is nothing you need fear
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

For sure, know how to flow

LYRICS
What lies between your eyes
Should come as no surprise
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies

Sooner or later the investigator
Is gonna come ’round
Bound to be found

What slips between your lips
Is hard to come to grips
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies

What kind of mind is found
Embedded headed bound
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies

LYRICS
Precariously positioned
Prepared to pounce
Not a pound of mercy
Not even an ounce
Threads of the web
Woven and spun
Sit in lay for the prey
Until it’s done

Feast like a beast
On blood and guts
Dog eat dog released
In a world gone nuts

But for lack of chops
You’d be licking them lots
Pavlov’s rule you would drool
The haves have the have nots

LYRICS
Don’t know if I can put to tune
All of (your) life’s ruin
But it’s coming to me
You help me see
What it means to be

Wont’ forget:
Cherish every moment
Won’t be long
’til it’s gone
Won’t regret
A single moment
Just as long
As I write your song
For you to listen to
Help ease the pain
For yours and you, too
Help staying sane

Don’t know if I can put to tune
All of (your) life’s ruin
But it’s coming to me
You help me see
What it means to be

Written at the corner of High and Market Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA, after two sisters approached me with a request. The one’s son had committed suicide a month prior. Could I play something for him… he liked Led Zeppelin. So, I played a couple Zeppelin songs:

“Throw me a line; If I reach it in time; I’ll meet you up there; Where the path runs straight And high”

“No, cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good… All last night sat on the levee and moaned… Thinkin’ ’bout my baby and my happy home”

When I finished, they were both crying. Then they asked, “Can I hug you?” After they left, I wrote this song for her son, Tommy.

Getting Out

admin — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 14:01:53 +0000

LYRICS
If it makes the kids dance
Ya know it stands a chance
If it makes their mama move
Ya know you’re in the groove

If you’re waiting for God-given
When you’re already in heaven
Might be time to explore
Getting out a ‘lil more

Seeing the arms reaching
Knowing they want more
The child’s smile’s teaching
More than I knew before

If they stop you to interrupt
They must know what’s up
Can’t help nut show their feeling
Over what you’re dealing

Getting Out.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
While writing music at the corner of Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA, a musician stopped to ask me why I like creating songs at Gay Church… which caused me to write this song.

I Can See Clearly

admin — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 13:46:41 +0000

LYRICS
Though the water’s clearly clear
Does it look blue to you?
Though the sky’s clearly clear
Does it look blue, too?

Is it clearly clear
Your personal point-of-view
Is relativity a rarity?

Though the days are the same
Are they going past fast
Though the nights are the same
Does it feel like they don’t last

Chorus

From where you’re at
Does the Earth look flat
The sun going around
From sunup ’til sundown

Not missing a thing
Hey everybody

What did you bring
Come on

We’ve got a jam upon us
I must confess

I’ve heard it said
I’ve got eyes on the back of my head

Insurmountable task
I don’t know how to ask

I’m falling, falling, fall…

Get your napalm balm on
And agent orange management

As we’re whirling…
As we’re spinning around

And after light
Once at night
Along the way….

Shinning moon
In the dark of night
Shedding light
Reflecting noon
Shimmering bright
Dancing on the surface
The ripples purpose
More than just a metaphor
For the time that’s mine
The river of time
To know the flow
From birth… to dying

LYRICS
On the eve
Of “find it hard to believe”
I find it surprising
The levels rising
Getting ready
Holding steady
Walking
On water
Does it matter
The state of matter?
Up there floating on air
Or solid ice would be nice
Sink or swim
I’m going
Walking on water
The state of matter
Does it matter?
Noted and state
Walk on water

admin — Sun, 27 May 2018 16:39:54 +0000

LYRICS
Got the guitar…
And an extra string
Can’t think of anything
No… nothing
I’m missing
Not missing a thing
I’ve got the guitar
And I’m traveling
No, not missing
… not missing a thing

Have guitar.
Will travel.
Near or fat
It’s all a marvel
Unfurled
6-string wonders of the world

Got the guitar and an extra string
There’s nothing else we need bring
Whenever we move it gives us a chance
Foot off the break and break into dance
Got the guitar and an extra string
Looks like we brought everything
(Sounds like we brought everything)
Taken the chance to dance
Breakout and sing
“Got the guitar and an extra string”

LYRICS
If you want to be a royal pain in the a$$
You’re first in your class
Though I appreciate strife
Evoking life
I’d say enough for today
On your way
Didn’t make an appointment
For a fly in the ointment
If I meant
To bang my head on cement
That’s where I would have went

Full royal flush
Thus
Pain in the a$$
Alas
Pain in the a$$

LYRICS
If the Earth is flat
How long would that be
From end to The End
How long would that have been
Treading in thick logic
Wading in sick logic
Quick
If you went splat
On an Earth that’s flat
Where would that be at
Would you, too, be
Two dimensional
Or does your rational
Already escape me
You were tow dimensional all
Along… just wasting my song
With sick logic

One Damn Song

admin — Tue, 22 May 2018 18:58:19 +0000

LYRICS
Spending all your day
Wondering why your days
Slip away
When sleep’s on it’s way
You say, “I’ll pray:
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Spending all your time
Wondering if I’m
Gonna turn out fine
Under fading light
You say… “Pray? I might.
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Spending all your life
Wondering how to avoid strife
When all the while…
You made Ms. Satan your wife
On fallen knees you say
“God, listen to me pray:
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Lordy, Lordy

I’ve been forgiven
Of that sin
I’ve been forgiven
Of my sin
Been forgiven of my wrong
Lord I’ve done written one song

Lord, I’m reckoning
Since you’re wrecking my reckoning
I reckon I’ve been forgiven my sin
As this is one damn long song

I’d like to thank you again
Again and again
For forgivin’ that sin
Lord, I did wrong
But, now I wrote that song
Been forgiven
From heaven

Extreme weather

Forged destiny
For none to be

LYRICS
On the cusp of learning
At the break of day
Hope to grasp the meaning
Before it goes away
On the edge of knowledge
Coming on high-noon
Hope to gain advantage
To realize it soon

On the cusp of learning
Please don’t slip away
Hope at last the meaning
Before the end of day
On the verge of knowledge
Let me see the light
To the depths of mind, dredge
See the light before night

Can I see the light?
Can I can I can!

Wouldn’t want to be in his shoes

Nowhere to go
But 6 feet down

Clown
The scourge of mankind
For being unkind

Not knowing know-how
No know how

LYRICS
Is this getting a little too scary
The situation — a little too hairy
Well, I’m “hear” to comfort you
And, help you get through
It was only a dream
Know what I mean?

Is this getting a little too frightening
The situation — fingernail biting
Well, I’m “hear” to comfort you
And, help you get through
It can’t be real
That is the deal
(You know… it was only a show)

Getting a little too exciting
Dark clouds, thunder and lightening
Are you “hear” to comfort me
And help me to see
Only make-believe?
How you relieve

Pretend
The End

It’s been found
Not trying to hide on the outside
Look within
Where it’s always been
Look within

If you’re trying to find your heart
Then why not start
Where it’s always been
Look again!
Look again?
Not broken beyond repair
Look in there
Did you try looking in there?
Look in there!

Last Man Standing

LYRICS
What good’s
Last man standing
Left standing
All alone
If you ask me
I’d rather be
Understanding
Being prone

Watch the underdog
Turn to superman
Lift the fog
So man can

Helping meek and weak
Understand
And, ….

My In Memoriam Part 1.mp3

LYRICS
As I’m watching time
Pass into the past
I’m thinking
It’s a shame life doesn’t last
But then I pause…
And think again
Maybe it’s worth rememberin’
Better take it all in
While I can

As I’m wondering if future
Is going to show
I’m thinking
It’s a shame I don’t know
But then I pause…
And think again
Maybe it’s worth rememberin’
Better take it all in
While I can

There’s nothing like being human
(say it again)

LYRICS
Are you my Frankenstein
Doctor of my creation kind?
Brought me too life
And I’m feeling fine
Did you create a monster
Are you sure
You put love in my heart
Right from the start
Did you create a monster
And how far
Out-of-reach
Do you think you are?

You forgot that part?
Putting love in my heart
Did you forget that part
Putting love in my heart

The Ballad of Sir Vent

admin — Mon, 14 May 2018 13:17:24 +0000

LYRICS
One on the day you’re born
How long
Does it take to learn
To cherish every moment
’til you’re rendered silent
Light from the candle’s either ends
Shines bright on the message it sends

A life unfurled
In a wind whirled
How long does it take to understand
From a fetus curled
’til my dust becomes land

After fulfilling your purpose
Do you feel worthless
What with my time shall I do
Oh, God, I’m asking you
Can you make this servant
Permanent

LYRICS
No matter what you do
The faith I have in you
Is based on what you do
If it’s all a lie
That’s what I’ll take when I die
If it’s all for real
Then, life’s a real good deal

Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Or are all the pro’s long gone
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Will your legacy live on and on
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Or will our faith move on

Queen Be

LYRICS
In a sweet deal
The Queen Be
Gets the honey
But is it real
Could it be
The money’s funny?

Could it be those she’s among?

Might end up getting stung
An ironic sort-of thing
Be-ing the victim
Of a sting
Can you picture being framed
As you wallow in the gallow
What are you going to do
When the executioner is you?

admin — Sun, 13 May 2018 14:14:23 +0000

LYRICS
Hey! Wait for me!
I’m just trying to see
What’s ahead… more clearly
Should you have an urge
To build a bridge
Or perhaps swerve
Around a curve

Say, “Wait for me!”
If you’re trying to see
Ahead more clearly
Should we have the urge
To converge
And figure how to yield
At the merge

Hey! Wait for we!
We’re just trying to be
What’s a head… more dearly
… more clearly

Judging by the flow of the go
Must know something
I don’t know
Just in time
To get in line
Participate
In hurry up and wait

Will you take the cue
To add hast to what you do
Hurry up… hurry up and queue
It would be simply lovely of you

Fat cat caught in the rat race
Got caught with egg on his face
Revolutionary turning sedimentary
Energy burned by hypocrisy

LYRICS
A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Eyes may be blue
And blue skies, too
But it’s never blue inside of you
Listening to the birds sing
While wedding bells ring
Loving all life has to bring

A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Cool pool’s blue hue
Under skies of blue
But it’s never blue inside of you
Watching birds on wing
A the bees join in
Loving all life has to bring

Back in the day
You could get your jolly

Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s folly

Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless

Back in the day
You could gain some sane

LYRICS
Encircled by the deepest purple
In fact, black
As hellfire rains down
Reigns all around
That whitelion inside of you
Comes roaring through
While angels are cast from heaven
The sprouting of demons is a fore-given
And at the very end
When the messenger they send
Has no ear to lend….

A million and one loves
What the world needs today

And a heart or two, too

Realize
Heaven is on Earth
Birth in paradise

The smile of a baby
Or little ole lady
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
Stand up comedy shtick
Or a bit of ole slapstick
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway

Going The Distance

admin — Mon, 07 May 2018 17:39:17 +0000

LYRICS
If it’s too far to go
Well, I just don’t know
’cause if you stay here
I won’t be near
I’ve got to go the extra mile
Whistling all the while
Then, it’s never too far
From being where you are

No matter the distance
Try to keep that smile
Won’t be sitting on the fence
Or shadow of the sundial
If it’s getting hard to hear
What I have to say
’cause you’re getting farther from here…
… as here is on our way

Then this revelation
Came crashing in
Like a tree
Through your roof
Or to your face

Through the door
Evidence… you need more?
In fact, Godsmacked
I see the light
Alright

LYRICS
I don’t know, Son
Better check your gun
Can’t wear the holster no more
… better check it at the door
In order to bolster
Our atmosphere of fun

I don’t know, Son
Better check your gun
No need for bullets for sure
… better check it at the door
Ensure less regrets
No need for “on the run”

2nd Amendment under siege
Oh, Lord, help me please
Try n’ figure wants from needs
Oh, Lord, help us please

Busting out
Summertime rhyme

Ohhhh it’s time

Through the heat of day
It’s alright
IF it’s cool tonight
Feels just right
For music’s insight

All Dogs Go To Heaven

admin — Fri, 04 May 2018 14:02:07 +0000

LYRICS
Wondering if it’s a given
All dogs go to heaven
Wondering what they’ll be sniffin’
Heard it smells in hell
But for heaven as well?
If you know the aroma, do tell

And their God you can not see
Her scent is a mystery
No sound for the ear to hear
Her scent escapes me
Certainly can’t touch much
Her scent is odor free
And your taste goes to waste
Her scent is a mystery

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about the dogma of dogma… does your god “exist”?

admin — Fri, 04 May 2018 13:49:38 +0000

LYRICS
Is your world
Half empty
Is your world
Half full
Is your heart
Half empty
Is your heart
Half full
Mine’s got room to fulfill
Help me make it spill

Is your glass
Half empty
Is your glass
Half full
Optimistically
The optimist in me
I’ve got the view
The view is in you

Is your heart
Half empty
Is your heart
Half full
Fill the heart completely
Fill the heart until…
Mine’s got room to fulfill
Help me make it spill

The Last Thing She Said

LYRICS
What do you mean “we don’t have much time”?
The last thing she said to me is
“We don’t have much time”
When it comes to getting the message out
Don’t know how loud I can shout!
Wipe the grime from my voice
“We don’t have much time!”
But we’ve got choice
Adapt or be inept
In an adapt
In and adapt
Fast track
Be adapted to embedded?
Don’t let me… down
Don’t let me 6 feet down
You got me
Stymied
Stymie me’d

Hysteria Over Mania?

admin — Thu, 03 May 2018 14:03:34 +0000

LYRICS
First
You bite the hand that feeds you
Then
You wonder wonder why
Next
In spite
The nose on your face
You cut and pry
Oh why
Hysteria over mania?
Depression: Die
Oh why
Diarrhea of the speech
For hate reach
Third
Still more absurd
You spew
You do
You spew
The word
Never to be heard

Parapraxis Is….

admin — Wed, 02 May 2018 14:08:52 +0000

LYRICS
I forgot what I was going to say
Think it had something to do with today?

Trying to say
In a simple way
Tip of the tongue
Then, gone away

No regret if nothing’s said
Take it to the grave… subject dead
Wait! Don’t let me hesitate
’cause I hate “too late”
Dang! Forgot again
What a sin

Like I was going to say
Before it got away…
… I’m trying to say…
Parapraxis is

Swallow

LYRICS
Not sure if I can endure
To swallow any more
Unlocked was the door
What was I waiting for?
Can’t swallow any more!
All along, unlocked was the door
What was I waiting for?
