Foxtrot Uniform Charley Kilo OFF                           V1.0                            RogersonLB

V1

Was sitting down drinking coffee, with my uncle you see

When this man started venting his vocab directly at me

Prittle prattle Nonsense filled with expletives and profanity

I politely stood, held out my hand and said

 

Ch

“I sorry sir, please accept my apology for it is rare

But it seems you have gotten me mistaken for some one who cares

Soooo Please

Foxtrot Uniform Charley Kilo OFF

Did you hear? Thank you

Foxtrot Uniform Charley Kilo OFF”

 

 

V2

Somehow he was offended I guess, with this manner of address

Maybe he thought he wouldn’t hear this from a man of god a priest

Strange then to request me to repeat exactly what I just said,

So I puffed up my chest and said,

 

Ch

“I am so sorry sir, please accept my apology for it is rare

But it seems you have gotten me mistaken for some one who cares

Soooo Please

Foxtrot Uniform Charley Kilo OFF

Did you hear? Thank you

Foxtrot Uniform Charley Kilo OFF”

 

Now my uncles hard of hearing and had watched this going on

Then He asked me what I said as soon when the strange man had gone

So I did as requested and loudly said

 

Ch

“I am so sorry sir, please accept my apology for it is rare

But it seems you have gotten me mistaken for some one who cares

Soooo Please

Foxtrot Uniform Charley Kilo OFF

Did you hear? Thank you

Foxtrot Uniform Charley Kilo OFF”

Outro

Then he came back with his friends, so I said to my uncle,  "lets get the Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo - out of here".

Fat Man                                   RogersonLB





V1

Came outside to get the presents from the shed
When I heard this big commotion just over my head
There were hooves a splaying and lots of snorting
And a big old sign a saying Santa Claus



North Pole



V2

Was sure he’d wake the kids and that would be end
Be no chance of getting em back to sleep to again
Well it was freezing and the snow was falling
When he parked on my roof I saw Red



And so I Said





Chorus
Don’t care who you are fat man, get those reindeer off my roof
They’re going to break my tiles and fill my gutters with their pooh
enough of your rapper style Ho Ho Ho (HOO HOO HOO HOO)
Don’t care who you are Fat Man, those Reindeer gotta go
No- I don’t care who you are fat man, get those reindeer off my roof







V3

Well I don’t thinks it’s funny and leave my chimney stack alone
No way you’re going down there, and breaking into my home
No you can’t give my kids candy, you’ll make them diabetic
And that fake beard and pillow up your tummy really are pathetic –



get a job







Chorus
Don’t care who you are fat man, get those reindeer off my roof
They’re going to break my tiles and fill my gutters with their pooh
enough of your rapper style Ho Ho Ho (HOO HOO HOO HOO)
Don’t care who you are Fat Man, those Reindeer gotta go
No- I don’t care who you are fat man, get those reindeer off my roofFA                                              




Bridge
Silent Night – was until you came along
Holy Night, that’s what you left in my tiles you idiot

All is bright – except you you oversized clown

don’t care who you are fat man, get those reindeer off my roof

Six Feet of Dirt		V1.1 		Rogers & RogersonLB

V1
Felt his fat fingers dug deep in your throat
As you tried to fight back and draw a breath
As he screamed Repent and let me in

PC
Then through clenched tech he whispered
You are the one, my beautiful one
I would never hurt you

CHORUS
No true God would let this happen to a woman
All the fire and brimstone they could muster
Should be smote down and smoke this
Buster of a lover, who swore
                       (Love and Protect)  
He would never hurt
So no man on earth
Should let this beast live above six feet of dirt

V2
You turned your check throw away the first stone
And now they’re saying forgive forget
But its you who’s got to live with what he did

Chorus
No true God would let this happen to a woman
All the fire and brimstone they could muster
Should be smote down and smoke this
Buster of a lover, who swore
                       (Love and Protect)  
He would never hurt
So no man on earth
Should let this beast live above six feet of dirt

Playing to the bass rumble of the tyres
Been going so long, it made a song in my head

Another night in a tight motel
Still two days away from seeing you again
So much traffic outside and its keeping me awake
Alone with the thoughts of you

Just like you I’m chasing dreams of my youth
Why I played this honky tonk 1000 miles from home
Got packed and paid made sure my rider as all drunk

PC
Found the broken neon flickering
“We com Yo Ho wa from Hom”

Chorus
Rains pattering on the roof top like steel brushes striking drums
Bright flashes light the dark night sky - only get to count to one
Till I feel the thunders rumble in chest
Then it starts shaking this creaking bed
As I’m laying undressed my life’s a mess and wondering if I’ve even get to sleep to before breakfast
Under this worn out leaking canvas listening to,
An autumn storm in Texas

Last Tuesday night she sure took me to task
Sure I know I said the tour in June would be my last
But I lust for those unplayed Bars

Rains pattering on the roof top like steel brushes striking drums
Bright flashes light the dark night sky - only get to count to one
Till I feel the thunders rumble in chest

Under this worn out leaking canvas listening to,
An autumn storm in Texas

Tried to write a song to tell her But I can’t get it out
Trying to not believe she’s packed her bags and left our house
And she won’t be there, when I get back
No she won’t be there, when I get back
NO SHE WON’T BE THERE

Chorus
Rains pattering on the roof top like steel brushes striking drums
Bright flashes light the dark night sky - only get to count to one
Till I feel the thunders rumble in chest
Then it starts shaking this creaking bed
As I’m laying undressed my life’s a mess and wondering if I’ve even get to sleep to before breakfast
Under this worn out leaking canvas listening to,
An autumn storm in Texas

MAKING RAIN     (Katrin’s Song)   V3.4   RogersonLB          CAP0 3

V1
Sitting writing on the train with her mothers old nib pen 
Tears from her eyes fall and spread the ink so wide
On these same sad words written so many times before
Then the sounds of the city start pounding in her brain 

Chorus
Oh oh oh oh oh, how she wishes she was, 
Back on the farm riding once again
Bareback with no bridle holding tight the jet black mane
To once again see those dark eyes and to feel the love
Then the broken hearted cowgirl in pain, now goes back, making rain

V2
Thinking back to those days spent out on the porch
The overhanging tree and sweet smell of fresh cut hay
Last memory of her Mother down on hands and knees
Then rearing up neighing to begin their horsey game 

Chorus
Oh oh oh oh oh, how she wishes she was, 
Back on the farm riding once again
Bareback with no bridle holding tight the jet black mane
To once again see those dark eyes and to feel the love
Then the broken hearted cowgirl in pain, now goes back, making rain

Outside the rains coming down again
dancing on the window panes
but if it rained for 20 years this street will still not be clean

Smokes waiting on the tables
hanging there with no place to go
Patrons are paying for drinks to save having a memory
You can see them all at the  bar of hurting
tonight they all want something, by thinking about nothing

Somehow there’s some people not alone
talking to everyone
they are there for all the lovers and men broke by the pain

You can see them all at the  bar of hurting
tonight they all want something, by thinking about nothing

Walked around the bend in the river 
saw her swimming in the rock pool
naked like the day she was born
not a stitch, naked as the days she was born

Free like the breeze through the trees
Flower child lived as she choosed
With the beauty of a rose my heart she exposed
Flower child lived as she choosed

last summer was one to remember
those hot evenings held in her arms
promised it wont last past the fall
not my choice, wont last past the fall

Still come back to this rock pool
strip off and remember how she'd feel

Sure  great to get back to your roots
Where your family lives with their simple truths
to see the smiles on their faces
Memories of a lovers kiss

resting my feet up, in the history 
chilling out on main street

They took the rail then even the bus
Must been twenty years since the road bypassed
there is on last bar and a store
Next month they'll be no more

no cars going past, life's not too fast,
resting my feet up, in the history 
chilling out on main street

I don’t go looking for the trouble 
it has a knack for finding me
Kicked out again over just a little squabble
which got rather intense

I didn’t , didn’t  didn’t  call her ugly
it was  slutty pretty and I meant it in the nicest way
We have a communication problem happening here
Think its  only conclusion again is drinking beer, look, look
I didn’t , didn’t  didn’t  call her ugly
it was  slutty pretty and I meant it in the nicest way

V2
I think she’s angry for no reason
it always seems its simple things
Small  questions with dangerous consequence (and yes)
her bum did look big I think

Chorus
I didn’t , didn’t  didn’t  call her ugly
So sure it was  slutty pretty and I meant it in the nicest way
We have the culmination of the communication problem happening here
Think its  only conclusion is drinking beer, look, look

So sure it was  slutty pretty and I meant it in the nicest way

Some people out there take what they can

When you feel so small and bleed dry

The explanation given

You do but you wont 

Walking down the main street

Wizards ain't got no wands

To make you change your mind

.

Chrous

Its not just pheromones and biology

making me do the stupid things I do

There's more than one reason

Sometimes I think I'm crazy for loving you

Try to fight the primordial urge but my heart is set in glue

Sometimes I think I'm crazy for loving you

Sometimes I think I'm crazy (for loving you)

V1

Slowly pull out

Feel the shunt as the trailers hooks

Know there'll be 22 sets of lights

before the open road

Then 300 miles of freedom

Till the streets of the next town

.

Chorus

Sure know I'm home, when on Sunday morn

Hearing the spitting of the pan

Setting up the table for my family and me

ahh the real pleasures of home on Sunday morn

Frying eggs and the smell of bacon

.

V2

Sun starts setting

Cibies on as the darkness falls

Soon there'll be 22 sets of lights

Here in my home town

Then 2 and a half hours of unloading

Till l steer this dirty truck = all the way to my bed

.

Chorus

Sure know I'm home, when on Sunday morn

Hearing the spitting of the pan

Setting up the table for my family and me

ahh the real pleasures of home on Sunday morn

Frying eggs and the smell of bacon


.


Bridge

They offered me a yard job and I know it sounds perverse

At much as i sometimes hate it the roads a love and curse
.
Chorus

Sure know I'm home, when on Sunday morn

Hearing the spitting of the pan

Setting up the table for my family and me

ahh the real pleasures of home on Sunday morn

Frying eggs and the smell of bacon

Smell Of Bacon

V1

I'm a man of the land

Just flesh and blood

Taken all that you done to me

But today I stand 

beaten and worn     

Just cant take anymore



Chorus

Free me lord from human life

leave my body and take my soul

you gave me strength but that's now gone

Cos this dustbowl has dried out my heart

Its choked my throat and lost me a wife

Free me lord from human life

Free me lord from human life





V2

I've read the book

you gave to me

Doing those thing told me to do

But paying my bills

Scriptures not writ

Banks got me in their grip





Chorus

Free me lord from human life

leave my body and take my soul

you gave me strength but that's now gone

Cos this dustbowl has dried out my heart

Its choked my throat and lost me a wife

Free me lord from human life

Free me lord from human life





Bridge

Forgive them for what they're about to do

crucified a good man too soon





Chorus

Free me lord from human life

leave my body and take my soul

you gave me strength but that's now gone

Cos this dustbowl has dried out my heart

Its choked my throat and lost me a wife

Free me lord from human life

Free me lord from human life

Free me lord

V1

Used to think would live forever

Sure, didn't you

See a thousand summers 

Having anniversarys

Under a different set of stars



Chorus

They're going to carry me out head first

Just like when I came into this world

Bury me deep 

Becoming worm feed

Hope you got cute flower Girls

Laying red rose petals 

On the broken ground above my corpse



V2

So they said cant beat the big C

Taking me down

When the speeches happen

Wanting then eulogies

Telling the adventures of a fool



Chorus

They're going to carry me out head first

Just like when I came into this world

Bury me deep 

Becoming worm feed

Hope you got cute flower Girls

Laying red rose petals 

On the broken ground above my corpse



Bridge

Make sure you have a drink or two

You know, I'd do the same for you



Chorus

They're going to carry me out head first

Just like when I came into this world

Bury me deep 

Becoming worm feed

Hope you got cute flower Girls

Laying red rose petals 

On the broken ground above my corpse

V1

Last night I couldn't sleep

Just lay awake in bed

Same old B grade movie

Playing over in my head

Today I'm gonna change

How it ends

 

Chorus

Cos I going back to Georgetown

Where I left the girl I love

Alone on a porch with mascara streaming down her pretty face

Been hoping it was was just lust 

But Now I found, Lost out to love, I lost out to love

Cos I going back to Georgetown, game all over

Lost out to love, I lost out to love

 

V2

Quit my job and told them

Wont be coming back

Cashed the cheque paid the rent

Packed my bags and left

Feels so good                                                                 (This is intentionally short)

going home

 

Chorus

Cos I going back to Georgetown

Where I left the girl I love

Alone on a porch with mascara streaming down her pretty face

Been hoping it was was just lust 

But Now I found, Lost out to love, I lost out to love

Cos I going back to Georgetown, game all over

Lost out to love, I lost out to love

 

Bridge

The 10 mile sign will mean, I'm getting closer

The 5 mile sign on McCafferty's bridge will mean

I'm closer still, I'm closer still

 

Chorus

Cos I going back to Georgetown

Where I left the girl I love

Alone on a porch with mascara streaming down her pretty face

Been hoping it was was just lust 

But Now I found, Lost out to love, I lost out to love

Cos I going back to Georgetown, game all over

Lost out to love, I lost out to love

Take Him Out in a Box    Draft      RogersonLB

V1
Pull off highway 31
Down a pretty tree lined street
Welcome sign beckons
Great place to stop and eat
.
PC
Drive on past the shuttered shops
Take the second on the left
Till I get to the house where I once lived
.
Chorus
Paint is now all faded
There's only one chair on the porch
It's now only home for pops
He wont leave till they take him out in a box
.
V2
See the front doors open
Hear the radio up loud
Smelling fresh coffee
Brewed on old wood fired stove
.
Chorus
Paint is now all faded
There's only one chair on the porch
It's now only home for pops
He wont leave till they take him out in a box
.
Bridge
Was never much more than two bit town
A place to live for all too few
212 when I was born
38 when I left
.
Chorus
Paint is now all faded
There's only one chair on the porch
It's now only home for pops
He wont leave till they take him out in a box

Take Him Out In A Box

Does not really talk about himself in the third person, thinks ARTY should do his homework before he goes to bed and, must not drink his own bath water as this has had someone washing in it. ARTY likes hanging out the washing on sunny days and writing songs about how wet the sheets are, he then spends an inordant amount of time spell chhecking documents and looking under his bed for his lost memories and last nights dinner wrappers.

Most imporantly ARTY believes that good music should be spelt with three o's in Good, so this is GOOOD and is a little bit further away from God which has only one o in Good. The only serious thing he does not like is songwriters who are so lazy they keep using the same word as their crux for not working hard enough and then expect to be congratulated for this amazing exploit of the explotation of a swearword which without the song would not be an unforgetable diatribe of the primal ooze of conciousness, really and I do really i do not give a F about the use of the F words or worse in songwriting.

So if you have been silly enough to get this far, he does want to start collaborating more and learning more than somethiing about the format and requirement of writing Nashville style songs, story,conversational. no metaphor, get in there tell it and FINISH- He does though have a penchant and a paper bag with a twist of monumental proportions and strangely just keeps doing it, looking over his shoulder and throwing salt, but (not the butt when you stand too close to a got butt) then Arty is just a little bit left of centre and down the road a bit and if you look hard you will see him hiding behind the letter box at number 5.
