lyrics

I believe something a little crazy, a little out there
Inconceivable, inconceivable
I believe something, now hear me out man
I have seen saucers flying in the sky, flying in the sky
Cruising at warp speed, changing direction, then disappearing
Can't change my mind
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

I believe something a little spooky, a little kooky
Implausible, but not impossible
I believe something, open your mind man, truth is worth finding
If you've got the nerve, if you've got the nerve
We will go down the rabbit hole and discover worlds
Beyond your wildest dreams
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

Don't call me crazy, you're the one that's crazy
You could never believe the things that I've seen
A stable form of element 115
Intelligence far greater than our own
They come and beam you up from your home
One way or another I've got to know
Even at the expense of getting probed
I want to look them right in the eye
I want an encounter before I die

It gives me great pleasure to present this new collaboration with Rodolfo under the new name of 'Continental Collision'. I was given a melody, a title and the premise of a toxic relationship, so you’ll be pleased to know that this is a work of fiction as far as I’m concerned. Lyrically, once I found myself ‘down by the river,’ everything fell into place and the river also offered the hero of our song a chance of rebirth. We experimented with different vocal arrangements and it was agreed that Rodolfo would find some other collaborators to help us complete the song. A huge thank you to Cecilia and Gonzalo for those great harmonies and that cool funky guitar. As ever, I am indebted to Rodolfo for the great opportunity to work with his skills and imagination.

Take me to the brink down by the river. 
Take me there to drink the black water.
Take me there to sink, right down in the mire. 
Take me down into Hellfire. 
Take me all the way.

Make me feel the pain down by the river. 
Make me swallow down the black water. 
Make me feel each ache, each tremble and shake. 
Make my heart ready to break. 
Make it go away.

I gotta lead my life the way that I choose. 
I have got nothing left to lose. 
I need to start my life anew. 
I need my new life to breakthrough.
It’s just beginning and overdue.

Seek to be redeemed down by the river.
Seek to reflect in the black water.
Seek to find the meaning, straight out of the past. 
Seek release from all that’s passed.
Seek to find some peace.

Want some kinda future far from the river.
Want a future free from black water.
Want a life to live, free to take or give.
Want to learn how to forgive.
Want the pain to cease.

I gotta lead my life the way that I choose. 
I’ve got nothing left to lose. 
I need to start my life anew. 
I need my new life to breakthrough.
It’s just beginning and overdue.

Black Water - Continental Collision - on Spotify & Bandcamp

Never been to Birdland though I’m a big Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker fan. This track, however, is more about the Tweetie variety, they are such a delight, I love listening to their toons. If you have time, I urge you to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdIoL2YLu7Y . Ghislaine is such a talent, her photos and videos just capture the magic.
  
I’m on my way to Birdland
That’s where I wanna be
Modern day living so unforgiving 
It’s not a place for me

You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be

I just love their beaks
Their feets, their tweets
And they’re so reet petite
So why’re being so thoughtless
Turning up the heat
We’re the pest
Messing up the nest and…
You know the rest  
You know the rest
You know the rest 
  
You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be
Birdland’s the place to be 
Birdland’s the place to be

A rain dance for the bush fires
A sun dance for the floods
A war dance for anyone    
Who doesn’t give a fuck

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
We may never dance again
It’s time to pick up that dam phone
If you’re a ’Strictly’ fan

It's murder on earth’s dance floor
 t's murder on earth’s dance floor

A shoot out at the oil coral
Sundance at my side
You know that he can bust a move
And he can  jive

Dance like no one’s watching
Dance so full of love
Dance those socks till they come off
Take off those kid gloves

It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor

Instrumental

Gonna  move your feet, gonna eat less meat
This dance floor needs repair
if ya wanna lift that glitter ball
Dance like Fred Astaire

and dance like no one’s watching
Dance with so much love
Dance those socks till they come off
Take off those kid gloves

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor

Instrumental

A rain dance for the bush fires
A sun dance for the floods
A war dance for anyone    
Who doesn’t give a fuck

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
We may never dance again
It's time to pick up that dam phone
If you're a Strictly fan

It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor

Squidly doot, snidely dat, hot dam

Lyrics

We could start a fire
Watch it burn all night
Listen to the wind blow
As the flame ignites

I could take a dose of cabin fever
If it’s shared with you
Go into hiding 
And just let us be....

We could play a game
(Oh play with me)
Of hide and seek
But I’d let you find me
Quicker than you should, you should...

The Swamp

Fragments of a dream

There's a better day tomorrow
Just hold on and keep the faith
There's a better day tomorrow
Just hold on and keep the faith
On earth as it is in Heaven
That's how it's gonna be someday

What I'd say

A Better Day Tomorrow (25 version)

There's a better day tomorrow
It's been nighttime much too long
There's a better day tomorrow
It's been nighttime much to long
You can tell the Son is coming
It's aways darkest before Dawn

Now Play

There's a better day tomorrow
You can make it if you try
(You can make it if you try)
There's a better day tomorrow
You can make it if you try
(You can make it if you try)
When it looks like you won't get there
You walk by faith and not by sight

There's a better day tomorrow
Take my hand, let's make it so
There's a better day tomorrow
Take my hand, lets make it so
Love calls us to revolution
And when Love calls, you've got to go

Don't you know?
Don't you know?

(You can make it if you try)
(You can make it if you try)

There's a better day tomorrow
Take my hand, let's make it so
There's a better day tomorrow
Take my hand, lets make it so
Love calls us to revolution
And when Love calls, you've got to go
Gotta go

A Better Day Tomorrow (25 version)

The whole world spun away
The sound incessant
Perhaps I'm dying now
Not a thought I find unpleasant

I've hurt some people 
and I loved some too
Life is a steep hill
But we made it through

I knew I had done it wrong
When the earth became the sky
It seemed to last forever
I don't need wings to fly

I took my chances
Didn't hedge my bets
I played the game
I have no regrets

No regrets

No Regrets

No Regrets(Motorcycle musings....)
