It’s Halloween ( All Over The Place )

31 10 2010

The sun’s gone down
There’s a chill in the air
It’s time for all good people
To finally beware
There are strangers coming to you
Showing a different face
It’s Halloween, all over the place

Goblins and Ghosts
Are on the attack
Dressed up to look like
Republicans and Democrats
Iron Men, Spider Men
Girls with a Lady GaGa Poker Face
It’s Halloween, all over the place

On every walkway
Across every lawn they run
Asking for a treat
By the end of night weighs a ton
And for places that give out great candy
Those houses they will retrace
It’s Halloween, all over the place

So open your heart
And fill those bags to the brim
It will help you to remember
When you did it way back when
With a sugar-coated smile
And a chocolate covered face
It’s Halloween, all over the place





Sanity’s Been Restored

30 10 2010

The sun was out
The sky was blue
The whole World was there, including me and you
A sea of hands
Waving in the sun
Thousands of people living life as one

I didn’t think it would happen
Until I saw it with my own eyes for sure
Life can get back to normal
Sanity’s been restored

Sanity’s been restored
It’s good to know we can laugh once more
Arm in arm in a sea of hope
We’ll get through it with a wink and a joke
What this World needs is a great big smile
That holds it together just for a while
Till we all finally understand
We need the help from every fellowman

No lines were drawn
To all who came
We were all brought together there under one name
The goal was peace
And the word was love
Something that the World has been lacking of

I didn’t think it would happen
Until I saw it with my own eyes for sure
Life can get back to normal
Sanity’s been restored

Sanity’s been restored
It’s good to know we can laugh once more
Arm in arm in a sea of hope
We’ll get through it with a wink and a joke
What this World needs is a great big smile
That holds it together just for a while
Till we all finally understand
We need the help from every fellowman

Instrumental

As I raise my glass
I give a toast
To a pair of men who taught us how to matter the most
From a daily mix
Of truthiness facts
You make it okay again for us to laugh

I didn’t think it would happen
Until I saw it with my own eyes for sure
Life can get back to normal
Sanity’s been restored

Sanity’s been restored
It’s good to know we can laugh once more
Arm in arm in a sea of hope
We’ll get through it with a wink and a joke
What this World needs is a great big smile
That holds it together just for a while
Till we all finally understand
We need the help from every fellowman

Coming Back To You

28 10 2010

A million miles away my dear
Facing all my unwanted fears
The one thing that keeps me going
I’m coming back to you

Give my little girl a kiss goodnight
And hold our son with all your might
I’m waiting for the day
I’m coming back to you

Coming back to you ( Keeps my hopes and dreams alive )
Coming back to you ( Helps me cope and to survive )
Coming back to you ( Is what I’m living for )
To see that warm and loving smile once more

The days are long, the nights are bare
But what gets me through is you still care
I’m counting down the time till
I’m coming back to you

I’m in your prayers, you’re in my dreams
As we wish upon the same star it seems
You know I can hardly wait
I’m coming back to you

Coming back to you ( Keeps my hopes and dreams alive )
Coming back to you ( Helps me cope and to survive )
Coming back to you ( Is what I’m living for )
To see that warm and loving smile once more

Instrumental

The road looks long, but we both know
A love like ours will always grow
I promise to you dear
I’m coming back to you

Until that day we meet again
You are my love and you can depend
I say it from my heart
I’m coming back to you

Coming back to you ( Keeps my hopes and dreams alive )
Coming back to you ( Helps me cope and to survive )
Coming back to you ( Is what I’m living for )
To see that warm and loving smile once more

Da Do Do Do ( The Skyline Drive Song )

27 10 2010

The sun is out
The clouds are gone
The morning tears are dried on a fresh cut lawn
The air outside
Is crisp and dry
Reminding you, why your still alive

Da Do Do Do ( Da Do Do Do)
Da Do Do Da ( Da Do Do Da )
Da Da Do Do ( Da Da Do Do )
Do Do Da Da ( Do Do Da Da )

Color coated leaves
Falling all around
As they find a home, on the autumn ground
A lone pumpkin
With a haunted smile
Recalls your youth, that’s been lost a while

Da Do Do Do ( Da Do Do Do)
Da Do Do Da ( Da Do Do Da )
Da Da Do Do ( Da Da Do Do )
Do Do Da Da ( Do Do Da Da )

Fireside nights
And windswept days
The season’s young just like yesterday
Let’s take a walk
Down familiar paths
Through a hemlock trail, that relieves the past

Da Do Do Do ( Da Do Do Do)
Da Do Do Da ( Da Do Do Da )
Da Da Do Do ( Da Da Do Do )
Do Do Da Da ( Do Do Da Da )

The sun is out
With a Skyline view
Holding hands, like we used to do
What better time
To be in love
And there’s one thing, I’m thinking of

Da Do Do Do ( Da Do Do Do)
Da Do Do Da ( Da Do Do Da )
Da Da Do Do ( Da Da Do Do )
Do Do Da Da ( Do Do Da Da )
Da Do Do Do ( Da Do Do Do)
Da Do Do Da ( Da Do Do Da )
Da Da Do Do ( Da Da Do Do )
Do Do Da Da ( Do Do Da Da )

That Toot Toot Song

25 10 2010

It was a Friday night and my family and I
Decided to have a bite at our local Popeye’s
A craving for some chicken with a Cajun bite
Would soon turn into one wild and crazy night
There among the patrons and assorted clientele
A zydeco experience at our fast food retail

As we got our order and went to the corner booth
We sat down to witness an extraordinary truth
One by one people got up and started to dance
To a tune that was playing , putting them in a trance
I leaned to the next booth and asked ” What’s going on?’
The man got up to dance and started to sing this song

Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Every Friday night at about this time
That song comes on and we lose our minds
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Boys and girls, Dads and Moms
They can’t resist, the party’s on
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah

Well I hardly had the time to take a sip of my drink
When my toes started tapping and my eyes did blink
In unison with the music and that Louisiana sound
That was filling the restaurant all around
Out the booth and on the food floor
I started to do things I never did before

First I stuck my face under the soda machine
To get a diet sugar rush so I could join in the scene
So I can be popping like the shrimp and catfish meals
That are marinated and seasoned, a Bonafide chicken deal
The juicy all white meat tenders turned me to spicy from mild
A Cajun battered fool whose gone crazy and wild

Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Every Friday night at about this time
That song comes on and we lose our minds
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Boys and girls, Dads and Moms
They can’t resist, the party’s on
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah

The place was jumping and the music double shot
Just like that Cajun recipe, spicy and hot
That Zydeco music affected the whole place through
Even the people placing orders in the Drive-Thru
On their car roofs they shouted all night long
I’ll have a #3 meal and That Toot Toot Song

Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Every Friday night at about this time
That song comes on and we lose our minds
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Boys and girls, Dads and Moms
They can’t resist, the party’s on
Yeah That Toot Toot song
Yeah

Yeah That Toot Toot Song
Yeah That Toot Toot Song
Yeah That Toot Toot Song
Yeah That Toot Toot Song

I’m Spam I Am

I Am I Said ( Neil Diamond )

Inbox filled, if you will, mostly swill
From people you do not know
Inviting you, enticing you
Wanting you to just click on them
And give it a go

Free money and some sexy honeys
For the lonely, waiting for you inside
Join with me and you will see
Your very own cyper sonic ride

I’m spam I am
Some friendly mail
Attached with a virus
That makes computers fail
I’m spam click me
And you will see
So many error number codes
On your monitor screen

Ever wondered about clicking a link that could make you rich
From Nigeria
A Weight Loss Plan, Debt Relief or Investment Plan
Or an extra strength version of Viagra

It’s just a simple click what will it hurt
The internet is not here to get you burned
It’s just like when you went out with your Dad
I’ll take you Phishing and I’ll be the big BAD WORM

I’m spam I am
Some friendly mail
Attached with a virus
That makes computers fail
I’m spam click me
And you will see
So many error number codes

Welcome to the Yard Sale Machine

18 10 2010

The weekend’s here and time for a drive
To check out all the malls on the lawn roadsides
A bargain and find round every bend
What’s one man’s junk is your piece de resistance

In boxes, tables and sheets on the ground
A home-made Wal-Mart, that would make Sam Walton proud
Everything you don’t need and so much more
Their asking for $10, but you can haggle to $4

Welcome to the yard sale machine
All lined up and questionably clean
From kiddie clothes to worn out canoes
Priced just right and waiting for you
Advertised from 8 to 1
But get there early so you can beat everyone
A one of a kind retail scene
Welcome to the yard sale machine

All your neighbors up and down the street
Are making deals with prices that can’t be beat
A one-legged ironing board, a non reversible drill
A bottomless bucket that can never get filled

An 8 track player that plays only two tracks
A velvet recliner that is missing it’s back
Things that they once couldn’t bear to give away
Are the same things the trash men won’t take the next day

Welcome to the yard sale machine
All lined up and questionably clean
From kiddie clothes to worn out canoes
Priced just right and waiting for you
Advertised from 8 to 1
But get there early so you can beat everyone
A one of a kind retail scene
Welcome to the yard sale machine

So go to the bank and get your wad full of bills
Before you cruise along the highway of junk thrills
Look for the signs stapled to the telephone poles
Made out of cardboard and paper plates and bowls

One of a kinds and antiques await
The written sticker price is always up for debate
There’s no better way to spend a brisk weekend autumn day
Than to buy back all the stuff you once threw away

Welcome to the yard sale machine
All lined up and questionably clean
From kiddie clothes to worn out canoes
Priced just right and waiting for you
Advertised from 8 to 1
But get there early so you can beat everyone
A one of a kind retail scene
Welcome to the yard sale machine





Hold on Strong ( You Belong )

12 10 2010

The candle wax falls to the floor
In remembrance of the tears that were shed before
A broken frame with jaded glass
Lays alone among the souvenirs of the past
The shades are drawn, the night is still
Nothing left to hold on but your sheer will
Hollow sounds echo off the battered paint
Taken by abuse, knowing it’s future’s fate

A little voice is crying out in pain
As the puzzle is broken, you try to explain
The lost in her eyes are reflected in you
When her little hand touches yours, you now see the truth
The only way out, is the way out from within
Where you know in your heart, you can always begin
Take what you need, and leave the memories behind
Live for the future, one day at a time

Hold on strong, you belong
Take a step into a world that’s calling out your name
Where time is there to heal the wounds
And show your not to blame

Instrumental Break

The first day is your own nightmare
And shortly after you become more aware
The days are long, the nights even more
There’s no looking back to what you left before
Though it seems hard, you are not alone
The light is ahead for the lost souls once owned
Hold your head up high, with no regrets
It’s time for you to shine among the rest

Hold on strong, you belong
Take a step into a world that’s calling out your name
Where time is there to heal the wounds
And show your not to blame





A Hook and a Melody

11 10 2010

Have you ever wondered how it be to write a hit song
Something short and catchy they play all day long
As you dream your name is atop all the music charts
And your song is blaring out from the beach bound cars

You grab a pen and paper as you wait for inspiration
Trying your best to be the next sensation
Then you realize it’s not about the content
It’s all about how the rhythm is sent
Just a 3 chord sound, is what I found
To a chorus riff, so they remember it

I guarantee, it’s simple to see
All you really need is a hook and a melody
Something upbeat, so you can tap your feet
And easy to sing, with a hook and melody

Hip Hop, Country, Reggae or Middle of the Road style
It doesn’t matter as long as it brings a big smile
And every time you hear it you can’t help but swoon
Always on your mind and on the top on iTunes

A little piano intro is a nice way you can start
To let your music and words into their hearts
Then when you finally kick it into gear
Give them all what they want to hear
Just a 3 chord sound, is what I found
To a chorus riff, so they remember it

I guarantee, it’s simple to see
All you really need is a hook and a melody
Something upbeat, so you can tap your feet
And easy to sing, with a hook and melody

My Last Track ( Slow Hand’s Revenge )

10 10 2010

Well I’ve done all my tracks
But they say I have to write one last song
Well I’ve done all my tracks
But they say I have to write one last song
Cause I can’t finish my CD
Unless I do another one

I’ve already done nine
But the record company, they said they want ten
I’ve already done nine
But the record company, they said they want ten
So let me just grab my guitar
And write another classic, just for them

My last track (Will be something for the world to see)
My last track (Will go down in music history)
With a searing solo and a ton of feedback
I’ll show those record suits who has the last laugh
My last track (I’m Eric Clapton. Don’t mess with me)

Long Clapton Style Solo

This track is long
Longer than the other nine combined
This track is long
Longer than the other nine combined
So instead of single CD
They’ll be putting out a double one this time

When it comes to my songs
Don’t tell me how many I have to write
When it comes to my songs
Don’t tell me how many I have to write
Just let me do my thing
Or I’ll make your profit margin say goodnight

My last track (Will be something for the world to see)
My last track (Will go down in music history)
With a searing solo and a ton of feedback
I’ll show those record suits who has the last laugh
My last track (I’m Eric Clapton. Don’t mess with me)

My last track
My last track
My last track
My last track
My last track (Don’t go messing with me)

Even Longer Clapton Style Solo
