We've Only Just Begun or Whatever

Dos por aquí. Y dos allá. Vos la cruzas, el la va a buscar.
Y todos atentos. Se viene el rebote. Todos atentos, se viene se viene.
Uno es mejor hay mas lugar. Recuperas salis a buscar.
Y todos atentos. Se viene el rebote. Todos atentos, se viene se viene.
Vos para mi sos como un rey, de lo que mas me importa.
Daria todo por volver a ver tu pique corto. Quien te dice gordo, no sabe nada.
No sabe nada. No sabe nada

Todos Atentos

waylaid  

Too many times  we’re all waylaid  and that’s fine 
too many times  it’s all waylaid  and  it goes to pot  
to pot  

Like a wave it comes and sweeps you right up and sees you see it all
But eyes, are a little bit blind and the scene is way too colourfully abstract
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,    
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,   

Take a little swim to the other other end friend
Any old stroke don’t worry about the form shawn
The wave is talking to us whispering to us all
Like an old friend’s calling for the next big call
we flounder around like elastic plastic fish  
being totally off course way too many times						
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many strings can’t see the way up   fuck
 
we alight aboard the sinking ship ‘nice n spicy’ 
but it sure rings more like lice, lice and mousy
by all means though  yeah  call it a bleak street
rather that than being an almighty shit-storm 
but really what’s with the so trendy dark-side
when it’s just another tool to set aside inside
another montage in the so-so blackened garage
then the trap door opens with the latest barrage

it’s been a forever long haul to finally get here
through those wayback times of bullet versus spear
sitting so pretty on the board with no cares of war
laying down at night with no cares of what we saw
it doesn’t take long to forget the face of firepower
and wonder how it got here - how did it get here?
the flash of piercing light through our sufferance
the tall billowing dusty plumes of our vengeance

the power of one man can dictate the spin of earth
was here before, been here before, seen this before
man on top, he’s sublime, so so totally fine yeah?
was here before, been here before, seen this before 
the power of one man can dictate the winds of earth
straight ahead not a soul in sight - damn right!
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many chains don’t know the way up   fuck

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid,    
  
it’s a pity about  the bleak streets
better than a fire storm for for for sure

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid

Waylaid - soundboard tinkerers and Petri

When night comes and you admire our starry sky, you can't help but marvel at the age of the light you see. One such evening inspired me to this song.
And to my immense joy, two of my absolute favorite guitarists, musicians and composers also wanted to share this journey with me. A big thank you for your generosity, gentlemen. ;)

Je file
Dans la nuit
Je n'ai pas le temps je file
En ignorant la pluie
Comme un pinson perdu la haut
Comme un poisson remontant le ruisseau
Bravant le courant
Avançant dans le vent

Je file
Dans la vie
Je n'ai pas le temps je file  
Sans abri sans appui
Comme une roue qui tomberait à l'arrêt
Comme un fou qui croierait s'évader
Ne jamais s'arrêter
Et le mouvement d'après...

Je file
Comme dans un rêve
Tout est bien plus facile
Quand le réel s'achève
Si l'existence est un combat
Perdu d'avance et sans aucune loi
Alors j'ai choisi
La fuite à la vie

Je vais en avant
Mais sans rien devant  

Je file
Vers ce lieu
Un rendez vous d'avril
Que j aimerais si joyeux
Mais j'ai si peur : si je me trompais ?
Dans mon coeur je ne sais comment aimer
Et souffrir alors
Pour mourir encore ? 

Je file
Perturbé
Je vois des flash qui défilent
Quelque chose a changé
Les jours qui passent,  et je retrouve le goût
Les souvenirs s'enlacent et dessinent un nouveau nous
Je ne contrôle plus vraiment
Je laisse aller gaiement

Je file
Dans tes yeux
Je ne vois plus le temps qui défile
Je ne vois plus que nous deux
Dans cette âme soeur j'ai trouvé la force
Oh ta douceur reforge l'ancienne écorce
Le destin l'a voulu
Le reste est superflu

----
I run off into the night
I don't have time I run
Ignoring the rain
Like a chaffinch lost up there
Like a fish up the stream
Braving the current
Moving in the wind

I'm running through life
I have no time I run  
Homeless and unsupported
Like a wheel that falls when it stops
Like a madman who thinks he's escaping
Never stopping
And the next movement...

I run like a dream
Everything is much easier
When reality ends
If existence is a fight
Lost in advance and without any law
So I chose
To run rather than live

I go forward
But with nothing in front  

I'm running to this place
A rendezvous in April
I'd like to be so happy
But I'm so afraid : what if I'm wrong?
In my heart I don't know how to love
And suffer then
To die again ? 

I'm running disturbed
I see flashes of light going by
Something has changed
The days go by, and I find back the taste
Memories entwine and draw a new us
I'm no longer in control
I let go happily

I run into your eyes
I can't see time passing by
I see only the two of us
In this soul mate I've found strength
Oh your sweetness reforges the old bark
Fate has willed it
The rest is unnecessary

Je File

'In A Nutshell' is an instrumental fusion track....

In A Nutshell

STUMP AND A STONE

I come walking down Magoon Road
on my head is a heavy load,
on my back is what I own
been to the market heading back home.

One legged man standing up drunk
fell over sittin' on a stump
crazy man dancing on a stone
call me over on my way back home.

Stump and a stone
Stump and a stone
Stump and a stone
call me over on my way back home.

Jesus lizard in the burying ground tree
preparing a place there for me
uncle Joe's hat and a case of rum
open a bottle and pour us some.

Stump and a stone
Stump and a stone
Stump and a stone
call me over on my way back home.

Look for me on these dusty streets
it's just my shadow you gonna meet.
You may be right, I may be wrong
but it don't really matter 'cause I'm already gone.
don't really matter 'cause I'm already gone.

Said goodbye under the wisdom tree
that's the last they saw of me
drove a golden Cadillac 
drove away and didn't come back
drove away and didn't come back.

Stump and a stone
Stump and a stone
Stump and a stone
call me over on my way back home.
call me over on my way back home.

Stump and a Stone

First song written produced and recorded by Jeffrey Lasky in Twenty years.  Jeffrey Lasky all guitars.  Cover art and concept by Joshua Lasky

September Twenty-Fifth

This is a song by one of my favorite bands that, believe it or not, Chris suggested we do. I really feel like we're kindred musical spirits. His playing on this and his voice are excellent as always. He's on acoustic guitar and the high vocals on this one. He also mixed, produced, and arranged the song. You'll hear me on the bass, synth, slide, mandolin, and auxiliary guitar, as well as singing the two low parts. We decided to do a string of covers back in the summer. If you've taken the time to read this, then please throw out some suggestions in the comments for our next one (or the one after that).

Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead  (with cgmaness)
