THERE’S AN OUTAGE WHAT AN OUTRAGE
CUT OUT FROM THE WORLD
UNSEEN UNTOLD UNHEARD 
IT’S LIKE YOU DON’T EXIST NO MORE
NO REASON TO LIVE FOR

THERE’S AN OUTAGE LIKE A BLIND CAGE
LOCKED OUT FROM WITHIN
LOCKED IN AND WITHOUT
NO COMMUNICATION 
YEAH CONNECTION BREAKDOWN

IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT
WITH NO ONE NOTHING IN SIGHT
BUT THE FLICKERING FLAME 
OF A CANDLE LIGHT
LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS 
IN THE OLD WAYS 

THERE’S AN OUTAGE 
ZERO VOLTAGE
DUSKY BACKSTAGE
BLACK ADVANTAGE 
THERE'S AN OUTRAGE

IN THE OLD WAYS OF THE OLD DAYS
IN THE OLD WAYS OF THE OLD DAYS

OUTAGE

do you remember, when you were young
everything you did, was just for fun
life was easy, oh so good
never made the effort, when you should

now your dreams, have disappeared
it all turned out, just like i feared
now your schemes , are up in smoke
i hope your words, make you choke

i remember, the lies and deceit
you were a liar and you were a cheat
you never cared, for any one else
everything you did, was just for yourself

now your dreams, have disappeared
it all turned out, just like i feared
now your schemes, are up in smoke
i hope your words, make you choke

Lies and deceit.

LYRIC

In happier days
I can’t remember when
But happier days
Than those we’re living in
You could enjoy the delusion 
Progress would bless our lives

Now here we are
Bitten by the bytes
And all of this awfulness thrives
 
A man of my years' seen things
He knows what tomorrow brings
Is another today
To piddle away
And though disillusion stings
A man of my years still sings his heart out

My last birthday wish
I asked to be ignored
But granting me this
The world could not afford
It had to be firing off rockets
Singing a children’s song off key
You see
A man of my years is done
Pretending he’s having fun 
If he feels it he laughs
If not he asks
Would it bother anyone 
If a man of my years should run and hide
While a shred of pride remains 

A slice of cake I’ll handle
Please don’t light that candle
My age in the icing
Is that meant to be a nice thing?
You tell me to blow now
But I will not
I have got to go now

I promise you this
I’ll make no promises
You’ll say I just did
But that’s not what this is
I’m merely aware of my standing
I’ve got to get off my feet

There’s kids on the lawn
I could shout at them
Instead I just yawn and repeat

A man of my years sits back
with a cold drink and salty snack
His work is long done
He’s had enough fun
Now he wants to relax
After laughter and tears
All the hurrahs and jeers
I’m a man of my years!

My Conscience The Nag

I’ve always loved the Sparks, still do

Historical 

They gathered along the Sea of Galilee 
Not too many not too few
They have left their past thrown away the key
What the future would bring they had no clue
They didn’t know what the future would bring
Just mothers from down south
Thousands years later 
Some men gathered again 
Didn’t know what to do
They have left their past thrown away the key
What the future would bring they had no clue
They lit up a fire just to dance and sing
And to get something in their mouth

Historical

Challenge was to make one of my shorter songs with one of my longer lyrics, so I 'had' to craft it into an amalgam of 9/4 and 4/4 signatures. Thus, it may feel crazy on verses but I hope also catchy on refrains.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)  /  I ask only not to have desires (I don’t want to imagine anymore)

¿Puedes explicarme qué es lo que me pasa?  /  Can you tell me what happens to me?
Señor, llévate de mí esta confusión.  /  Lord, take away this confusion.
Quítame el don de la inteligencia,  /  Take the gift of intelligence from me,
pues si no pensara tanto, sería feliz.  /  because if I didn’t think so much, I would be happy.

Siento que este mundo me es extraño,  /  I feel this world is strange,
estoy a disgusto con mis sentidos.  /  I get displeasure from my senses.
No puedo comprender su funcionamiento,  /  I cannot understand their functioning,
ni siquiera amoldarme a él.  /  nor even get used to it.

Sólo pido no tener deseos,  /  I ask only not to have desires,
ya no quiero imaginarme nada.  /  I don’t want to imagine anything anymore.

Esta situación siempre es pasajera,  /  This situation is always temporary,
pero se repite una y otra vez.  /  but repeats itself again and again.
Este malestar de cuerpo y alma  /  This discomfort of soul and body
me hace desear dejar de ser.  /  makes me wish to stop being.  

Pienso entonces en todos los que me quieren,  /  Then I think of all those who love me,
o al menos en los que a veces lo parecen…  /  or at least about those who sometimes seem to…
¿Por qué es tan difícil la coexistencia  /  Why is coexistence so difficult
en medio de una sociedad inteligente?  /  in an intelligent society?

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

No deberías dejar pensar a algo imperfecto,  /  You should not allow something imperfect to think,
sino limitarlo a cumplir su función social.  /  but limit it to fulfilling its social role.
Sólo quiero ser un engranaje más, señor,  /  I only want to be one more cog, Lord,
en tu rebaño de almas, sin preguntas.  /  in your flock of souls, without questions.

Esta vida que me has dado, señor,  /  This life you have given me, Lord,
me tortura, de modos insospechados,  /  tortures me, in unsuspected manners,
a buscarle un sentido a mis dudas,  /  to look for a sense to my doubts,
lo cual, tal vez, sea precisamente su fin!  /  which, maybe, is precisely its purpose!

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…
