Have to Hold
02:05

Can I borrow priceless things
since tomorrow, ball and chains,
fastened to my Feet & Hands , like detention
Chorus - Marriage be , like thomas foolery meeting mrs. pharisee
Better for worse, simple man, folly cries I
think I can, rich for poorer, have to hold
Chorus
Just got married, once a week, wife I buried, tongue in cheek, black tuxedo, wedding gown, happy twosome.....underground

What's wrong with that museum?
They were so stupid then
Their Heavy Tools & their Wicked Ways
Like She's a Witch & He's a Slave
and I hate that Gallery
No Paintings there of Me !
No Drinks Allowed & There's No Food
Just Velvet Ropes & a snobby dude !

recorded on tascam cassette 4track
song title - Never Win
London Bridge, and the British don't know where it is
Billy the Kid, and the people don't know where to Dig
you can never win but you Can Pretend
that your made of Tin.....and Dorothy is your new best friend
Shooting Star, flying faster than a railroad car
Monopoly Game, and the silver pieces look the same
you can never win but you can Pretend
that your Rin Tin Tin....and Lassie is your new best friend
.......and the devil wants to meet you .....and your
cable bill is past due.....Your Aunt Mabel she's a real KOOK , never win.......so Pretend
Tiny Tot, keeps on crying at the spinning top
Jungle Jim, but the monkey bars are moving in
You can never win but you Can Pretend
that your free of sin & Judas can not kiss you again

Hangman

Sad country song. We're not certain if woman lived in modern times or ancient times; but we are certain that she is a victim of rape...a time traveling tragedy exploring a perpetrator , an incest taboo, revenge & justice....or lack of
Hangman
==============================
In a flash of electricity shocks are travellin thru her vein. Holy man
alive! Did you see those sparks collide? Sending voltage to her brain
[and the chick is dead now]
What if this had happened when ?
Back before electric chair As her neck got snapped because the boards
collapsed and the Hangman standing there [put the hood on top of her
hair]
..............he tried to give her money, he did it all the time &
when he called her HONEY she shot him from behind.
Now it doesn't seem real lady like to kill your next of kin. Swinging
from a noose Revenge for sex abuse and her dad won't sin again... and
they both are dead now.

Haunted House

Foreward - song is based on the Voltaire quote Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien - Perfect is the enemy of Good. Song explores the art of making decisions through the metaphor of a crappy carnival that typically sets up overnight in a small town...all that is missing in this song is the con man carnival salesman trying to entice you into the bearded lady booth !!
Song title - Haunted House
Black Plywood Door , My neck is Soar...THIS WHIPLASH RIDE
Styrofoam stairs the curtain tears ... I CLOSE MY EYES
Out on the Ferris Wheel, We see each other's heel, Hard to Decide
You Pick one of the Rides...Which one do I like Most? I'll miss the spooky Ghost Hard to Decide...You Pick One
Black Troll Dolls Hair or Panda Bear ...I WON A PRIZE
This B.B. Gun, It's not much Fun ....SHOT OUT BULL'S EYE
Out near the midway ramp, I see a Lava Lamp
Hard to decide you pick one of the prizes
Which one do I want more
The Troll doll is a bore
Hard to Decide ....You Pick one

the Diary
02:57
|

backstory -
Anne Frank hid from the evil Nazis. She lived in a tiny room
w/ little food and there was no quality of life. Today
wherever there is war, refugees, sweatshops or oppression from capitalism in the Third World, then there are millions more Anne Franks wishing injustice would end.
Today thousands of innocent people fear USA bombs and
USA foreign policy. Let's all try to find the Anne Frank's of today and
this time come to HER rescue !
- no disrespect towards the current German citizens.
Yes your ancestors did allow an evil man to rise to *power ,,but that
happens all the time here in USA & throughout World - Maybe it is the
pursuit of power, cheap labor, & using military force for propping up police states to rob raw materials that is the chief problem regardless of era & nationality.
Lyrics, song title "The Diary"
Figure it Out on your own....Time
and Shiver each time we are Cold and Tired
I wish that THEY'd Leave us ALONE...or
Figure it out on their own !
and if we wait and see
surround us and then we will bleed
Before the count of 3
They'll Come to our RESCUE to our RESCUE
None of the Nazis are Blind .... or Old.
I'm Getting Better at Reading their Mind...I'm told.
In Hiding No Screaming from pain ...or ...
Crying from Thoughts in our Brain
But we can't Wait and See
What if they Catch us ? ..We'll Flee ?
Before the Count of 3
They'll come to our Rescue to our Rescue
Nazi Voice [ German overdub ]
" clear the attic,,,where are they hiding "

Take a bite from Snow White's apple
Fly around like a Pterodactyl
If Hummingbird's have Swords for Noses Why Can't We
And Dream of Queens like Cleopatra
Magic Words go Abracadabra
If Manta Rays have tails that sting then Why Can't We
Near Nogales lives the little buckaroo
and from Dallas , he swung his lasso over the moon it's true the moon was blue...and twice a year or So ,,,he ropes the UFO

[ woman pleads to husband ]
Why Are you Leaving Today?
is the King Sending You Far Away ?
The King can be Rude
Stay Here and Farm Food
Don't Leave.........Please don't Leave !
Don't do as Your told by the King
He promises you Gold & EveryThing
We need you Right Here
a Plow pulled by a Steer Won't Do...Without You !

Ninety Nine Nights I'll be Oer the Sea
Ninety Nine Nights plus a Few
but I give to you this Sweet Parakeet
and when it Flies around the Room, Please think of me
[ Wife responds back to impulsive & foolish husband in anger ]
What Kind of man Do you claim to BE ?
Picking a King Over ME !!!!!!
We need you to Stay
But you'Re Going Away
You FREAK !
Keep your parakeet !

-In her new négligée,she acts like she's famous and says its the way that they do it in Vegas and I don't care I wasn't there...
-She's Prancing around and acts like she's perfect and says it's the way that they do it in Europe and I don't care I wasn't there! ...
- I gotta go home to the clothes in the dryer, the clean cotton sheets nearly started a Fire and the pennies ping & static clean
- and You and Your friends and Your new way of talking you claim that your grand dad discovered Milwaukee Wisconsin...You're not my Friend

Her name was Julie I swear...or maybe Judy or Claire
It happened on a day like Friday or any other day between, we started making clothes called tie dye & hung on these wiry things...Then we dyed the pillow cases and sheets...and when were through I will adore you x3
[ instrumental break ]
Along Came Charlie O'Hare, he danced with Judy or Claire
Everything he did she fancied like the cover of a magazine
or like he was Travolta at Dancing
or Tarzan on a flying trapeze - then they slept on my pillow cases and sheets ... I knew what I knew. He won't adore you x 3
Then we cried all day but it seemed just like 99
wahhhhhh

Ordinary meets fantasy - a story about the adventure surrounding a baby boy's bedroom
Firethorn’s (a lullaby)
--------------------------------------------------------
Sneak out the back door
creepy creaky wooden stairs
Can Deny... Crazy Neighbor standing there
in the night
Candlelight then Day
Sneak out the window
Pyracantha Firethorn’s
Can Deny ... Grey Galoshes through the
snowy night
Candlelight then Day
bridge - feel the forest floor , see the scenery, Extraordinary !
hear the dinosaur o’er the lions roar
Sleep on your Pillow
to a string of Dancing Bears
Can't Deny ... all the dreams between your ears
Late at night
Candlelight then Day
