Penelope
Lyrics only
Her name was Penelope, she ran over me, with her Vespa in Milan
she came back to see, she leaned over me with tea and toast and jam
And when she looked at me, I got all poetic, and when she smiled, I dissolved,
We wore flashlights, on our foreheads, in the caves of Hercules
We rode motorcycles, through the Andes; it brought us to our knees
We would ride the world, in search of truth and glory, not content to waste the day
We would ride the world, in search of truth and glory, not content to dream our lives away, dream our lives away
We had sporting gear, we were like hunters, riding on horses and running with hounds
Sometimes could sit, with intellectuals, raising our voices, stomping around.
We would ride the world, in search of truth and glory, not content to waste the day
We would ride the world, in search of truth and glory, not content to dream our lives away, dream our lives away
dream our lives away
Sometimes we were exposed, to things we didn’t know, this blew us away

Redlands
05:22
|
|||
they tried to bring us down, leave us all in flames
they tried to make is fall, they played us like a game
and so we drove back to Redlands, in the Bentley and the rain, Oh oh oh oh , they took it too far,
Those were the days, golden (golden days) And no-one can ever take that away
Those were the days, golden (golden days) And nothing can ever take that away
Away away
We drove from our tomorrows, Barcelona to the sea
Through the Atlas of Morocco, running hard and free
And we were far from Redlands, in the Bentley and the rain
We took it too far

Dangerous
04:12
|
|||
Oh woe I can’t sleep
My hands are tied and my knees are weak
I just got a burning desire
Lord help me my hearts on fire
So dangerous dangerous It’s so dangerous
oh woe what can I do
your love is fading like an old tattoo
you look at me you got nothing to say
old tatoos fade away
This is dangerous So dangerous It’s so dangerous
Oh woe I can’t live like this
I’m in a dream where I don’t exist
I got your number but I can’t thru
The sun is shining but I’m raining blue
This is dangerous So dangerous It’s so dangerous

Long Train
03:31
|
|||
Their eyes met in the Winnipeg yards deep snow on New Years eve
The yard guard was a quiet man, a hunter in his autumn years
He looked like an old Indian, whose days had come and gone,
He stared at a young man, whose days, had just begun
The tracks are heavy when they’re wet with snow, long train don’t let go
Long train making steady steam, long train running lean and mean
Ride the long train
Ride the long train long train let it roll, let it roll
The yard guard saw he look he knew, a beaten man heart of blue
A dropped in the fallen snow, the old man just let him go
Ride the long train
Ride the long train long train let it roll, let it roll

They are the artists the artist is man
They have a paint brush it comes in a can
and They change the landscape one by one
They’re changing the way that we look at our world, they keep on the run
They know where the wild things grow
They know where the wild things go
V
spy vs spy, the dems and the vols an urban tattoo
space age performers like Banksy and Blu
Shadows and cyphers, they run in the night
They spray on their beauty, and keep out of sight
They know where the wild things grow
They know where the wild things go
They’re not the gangsters, the one’s with the flags
They’re just creators, no need to tag
With thought and with courage they shout out the call
Just give them a canvas, just give them a wall
V
Instrumental
C
And
They know where the wild things grow
They know where the wild things go
V
Daser, berzurka, Futura 2000 and young little cubs
Kreat and Kunfusion and Death From Above
It’s art and it’s raw it’s misunderstood
Just cuz you don’t understand don’t mean it ain’t good

Verse america america where have you gone
america america where have you gone
Chorus
we've been searching for you, ever since that fateful day
when you lost a son, your president, your JFK
and lost the dream, lost the world he would have made,
america, don't fade away
Verse (soft) america america home of the brave
america america can you be saved?
Chorus (hard)
mix into crushed Verse (hard) F# E F# E
Chorus (soft) F# E A B
Verse (hard) crushed by the weight of constant compression / digging hole to a deeper depression
trying to hide the calling obsession / like a wave of infection,
1st Chorus
the soul id confounded, the senses surrounded, see sanity leaving
with a glance over it's shoulder, as it floats out the door and the quiet is long gone away
Verse (hard) sick of the state, away at the gate / life in the hive, the madness survives
culture is sinking, awash in the thinking / more is the better, mine me first
2nd Chorus (Soft) Soft music comforts the memory of dreams long forgot on and souls on flame,
and pleasures past and times and days not come to pass
there in the shadows of a cool shade tree, where once my love made love to me
Verse Instrumental x 4
Verse (spoken) brave warriors of the world, do you possess / the courage to defy the gods of success
and so suffer the consequences / of those who dare , dare to resist
Chorus (HARD) say it's possible please what is and what could be say it isn't so
lest pain take the place of treasures past from times and days not come to pass
in a quiet so long gone away
Exit on Verse mix back into America
Verse america america land of the free
america america just let it be
Chorus (hard) we've been searching for you, ever since that fateful day
when you lost a son, your reverend, your MLK
oooo and lost the dream, and lost the world he would have made,
america, don’t fade away

Stop the madness
03:46
|

can you see the sign, of the drowning man
see me sinking fast, goin under,
throw me a line, please if you can,
the world is too damn much, a world of wonder
someone stop the madness please
stop the madness if you can
someone stop the madness please
throw me a line, please if you can
have some pity for a drowning man
throw me line i'm sinking sinking fast
can't say for sure how long i can last
i'm a drowning man out in the great big blue
i've been drowning my whole life through
someone stop the madness please
stop the madness if you can
someone stop the madness please
throw me a line, please if you can
have some pity for a drowning man
woke up this morning, whatcha think i saw
100,000 drowning men, out on my lawn
throw them a line if you can
have some pity for a drowning man

idicusmax Essaouira, Morocco
I have been hanging out here on this blue green dot for enough time to write a song or two..I am a bit of a punk but more a
hippie, (they really aren't that different)
I have an unstoppable desire to comment on humanity, both good and bad, my songs reflect my observations. I love this little planet.
It's the best one I have been on so far.
