Procrastination


C r u t c h e s  &  C r o w s 

Crows.........................
they laugh at my Crutch
they say far to much
with me down in the streets
the Crows they make all the cash
they spend way to fast
and that can defeat
the Crows
they make all the money
they spend it so fast
and that thing won't last
the Crows 
they manage my future
and i just sit back
when they hang me to dry
i hang on my Crutch
i keep at my side

The Crows.........................

Crutches and Crows  (Conover/Bach)

Driven

I have been a driver 
And I have been Driven
And I have come across this road before
I am not a Holy man
But I have been taken
to the promised land before

This has been the longest road
that I have traveled and I wound turn back now

Don’t look down
Bruce Conover composed and performed original music.
Phil McWalter was invited in for lyrics and vocal and final sweetening.

You can see all you want from here
Don’t look down
It’s just your feet and a can of fear
And if you fall...
The water’s warmer on the far side of the bay

Don’t slow up
The world will never let you get off
Don’t slow up
Its just a spin on a fairground ride
And if you do...
The circus moves on to another little town

[Spoken]: “Run, rabbit run. Just keep on running, you don't have time to look back and see if everyone else is coming…”

Don't look down
[Trumpet cadenza]
Don’t cry out
Do you think you’ll just disappear?
And when you cry
The lights are going to shine so brightly on your face

Don’t look down
You can see all you need from right here
Don't slow up
They won't let you hide away for a day...

Don't look down
You can see all you want to here
And if you do
The world will never let you get away again

Don’t look down
Don't look down
You can see all you need from right here
Don’t slow up
They won’t let you hide away for a day
Don’t look down
Don’t slow up
Don’t cry out

Don't Look Down - Conover/McWalter

Composed by Bruce Conover and Matt Warnick 

I Can’t Help You Now

funny now how it seems so strange
i should have known it from the start
i caught you stealin the town while i was fallen down
guess i was tearing out your heart

i used to feel empty just like you …it’s true
but i don’t want to change the things you do
it’s gonna be all right

and now you say that your the one i need
yes indeed, your wrong again
and i’m sorry i just can't help you now

searched my soul now im movin on
try a new way of dream’n
if not for you this tune would be through
in fairytales you believe in

i used to feel empty just like you …it’s true
but i don’t want to change the things you do

I Can't Help You Now ))))  Conover/Warnick

Cruise Kontrol

Cruise Kontrol
would be nice tonight
as we motor along the coast

loose kontrol?
we might.....
but only these two will know.

looking at me in the rearview
All I know is that I got to feel you
now………….

rinse and repeat 


This chassis was designed and built for a trip we take shortly up through Big Sur to Sausalito Ca.
The cliffs are treacherous along the coast of northern California but we will have ourselves and our Almighty Cruise Kontrol.

Drive safely

Cry © Chris Wiggs/Bruce Conover 21.02.16

If you know the reason
We’re saying goodbye
Then would'nt you tell me
Cos I want to cry
I want to cry

You’d be better off alone
Won’t be long you’re on your own
And you’re not the only one
Cos I wanna cry 
I wanna cry

Why did we quarrel and wrangle
Nerves all got jangled
Tied up and tangled
Out of our depths, in over our heads
Yearning and aching and cut up instead
How could we lose what we had?

Now that it’s over
Ashes just smoulder
The world has grown colder
And I wanna cry
I wanna cry

Now that we're older
Ashes on sholders
The world has grown colder
And I want to cry
I want to cry

Cry, cry, cry

Popeye the Sailor is a cartoon fictional character created by Elzie Crisler Segar.[3] The character first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip, Thimble Theatre, on January 17, 1929, and Popeye became the strip's title in later years; Popeye has also appeared in theatrical and television animated cartoons.

Segar's Thimble Theatre strip was in its 10th year when Popeye made his debut, but the one-eyed (left) sailor quickly became the main focus of the strip, and Thimble Theatre became one of King Features' most popular properties during the 1930s. After Segar's death in 1938, Thimble Theatre was continued by several writers and artists, most notably Segar's assistant Bud Sagendorf. The strip continues to appear in first-run installments in its Sunday edition, written and drawn by Hy Eisman. The daily strips are reprints of old Sagendorf stories.[citation needed]

In 1933, Max Fleischer adapted the Thimble Theatre characters into a series of Popeye the Sailor theatrical cartoon shorts for Paramount Pictures. These cartoons proved to be among the most popular of the 1930s, and Fleischer—and later Paramount's own Famous Studios—continued production through 1957. These cartoon shorts are now owned by Turner Entertainment, a subsidiary of Time Warner, and distributed by its sister company Warner Bros. Entertainment.[4]

Over the years, Popeye has also appeared in comic books, television cartoons, arcade and video games, hundreds of advertisements,[citation needed] and peripheral products (ranging from spinach to candy cigarettes), and the 1980 live-action film directed by Robert Altman, starring comedian Robin Williams as Popeye.

Strong To The Finish   (Conover & McWalter)

She’s smack dab in the middle. 
She's in a very precarious place.  
This week she brought on thunder 
But somehow….. She's keeps a smile on her face 
KellyAnne where is and what do you plan to do?   
With the time on your hands you'll be having so soon
KellyAnne where is and what do you plan to do?   
With the time on your hands you'll be having so soon

Simple Quarters   [Labarca/conover]

I'm just a little person
One person in a sea
Of many little people
Who are not aware of me
I do my little job
And live my little life
Eat my little meals
Miss my little kid and wife

And somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away
I'll find a second little person
Who will look at me and say—
I know you
You're the one I've waited for
Let's have some fun

Life is precious, every minute
And more precious with you in it
So let's have some fun

We'll take a road trip way out west
You're the one I like the best
I'm glad I found you, like hangin' 'round you
You're the one I like the best

And somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away
Somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away
Somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away 
I'll find a second little person
Who will look at me and say—

This vocal was the first take on my Macbook pro microphone. I put a blanket over my head to deaden the room acoustics. Alexis and I thought we should post it as is. We hope you enjoy our little song.....

Should I Say It?

This could be you, this could be me
This just could be you and me sitting here
Nothing was wrong
It's just a little song about me and you
We braced against the wind
We brace against the Storm.....

Always lean into the Storm..

Lagniappe is a small gift given to a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase (such as a 13th doughnut when buying a dozen), or more broadly, "something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure."
Or as I say "a little something special".
