Monday Playlist week of 5/16/2022

Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

My Heart's On Fire  (Original)

We have had another magic invite from Mamoru, and Jamie and I have had a lot of fun working with him on this fab classic. It came together quite quickly, as we all felt a lot of empathy with the song and Mamoru's arrangement.
When I finished the vocals, I realised I had sung "take a chance" instead of "shake a hand" on the last line of the second verse..lol.. we left it in!
We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it!

Composed by the Trumpeter and Bandleader Joe Morris and originally recorded by Faye Adams in 1953
Mamoru - Rhythm Guitar, Bass, Drums, Mixing
Jamie - Piano, Hammond Organ
Lizzie - Vocals

ONE DAY IT WAS ALL FOR YOU
LEARN TO GIVE AND TAKE BUT CRY
A BIRTHDAY WISH IS ALL THATS TRUE
A WISHING WELL WITH NO DESIRE

TEN YEARS ON AND TO SMART TO LEARN
ON YOUR BIKE AND LOST IN STUFF
I THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL DAYS GONE
WHAT WE SEE WE LEARN TO TRY

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
(break)
THE WISE GREY MAN CAN BEARLY HEAR
GRANDCHILD SENDS A TEXT OF LOVE
LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE SEA
HE REMEMBERS HOW HE USED TO BE

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THELINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

LIFE

In 2021 there were 2,755 billionaires in the world. They are guilty of committing ECOCIDE - yet they continue to choose profit over battling climate change.

Billionaires are the leading cause of climate change. More than 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies as stated by the Carbon Majors Report.

Amazon alone emitted 61 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 - the equivalent of 16 coal-burning power plants running for a year.

Some of America’s most prominent companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Disney are backing business and lobbying groups that are fighting landmark climate legislation despite their promises to combat the climate crisis.

Time is running short - THERE IS NO PLANET B


                             Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

Billionaires are destroying the planet
just so they can make a profit
pollution is killing Dear Mother Nature
melting - wiping out all our glaciers.

CHORUS
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan.

Heat waves are killing more and more people
we keep on burning more and more diesel
you don't have to be a rocket scientist
to know why fires destroy our forests.
Politicians are climate change deniers
in the meantime, our homes are on fire
the air we breathe smell like hell
thanks to the coal and oil cartels.

CHORUS

MONOLOGUE

Rising sea levels from China to California
causing devastation - Hallelujah
writings on the wall with plastic in our seas
welcome to the world of climate refugees.
Every year when it's hurricane season
the rains and floods are beyond reason
subways flooding thanks to carbon emissions
now our planet is in remission!

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

So start listening to the children
and heed the words of Mr. Bob Dylan
or it's a "Hard Reigns Gonna Fall"
your need for greed will be our downfall.

CHORUS

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

Making Plans:

I've been making plans
Since you've been gone
I can tell you now
This house aint a home

Just a shell of what
Oh it used to be
Back when times where good
Between you and me

Now its dark
And so cold
Hanging a s sign saying sold

That's the time to pack up
Time to move on
Make new Plans

Life's road is long
And at times its rough
You gotta hang tight
Gotta be tough

When all around you
Oh it feels so wrong
You gotta stand tall
Got to be strong

Times feeling low
And alone
Destination unknown

That's the time to pack up
Time to move on
Make new Plans

Pack up your your worry's
All your troubles
leave them all behind

Move on to a better place
Where the sun is gonna shine

Time to pack up
Time to move on
Make new plans

Time to pack up
Time to move on
Make new plans

Time to pack up
Time to move on
Make new plans.....

Making Plans - Original Song

Sonofa  Merica

This song is called "Sonofa  Merica".  it's about  the fairly common lament of the struggle of making a living and the government asking for more.   

Lyrics;
Ain't got much money
Don't hear anybody calling me rich
But the IRS called me
A son of America

Had my nose to the grindstone
For most of my life
Put the roof over my kids
And me and my wife
But I feel that I pursue happiness
At the point of a knife

I'm just man of few means
I have my wishes and dreams
Never did I see my coffers
filling up to the seams

Big Uncle sam
Sees the piggy bank on my shelf
And he gets pretty mad
If I keep too much for myself
Must think it's a pot of gold
It's just an old busted piggy bank and nothing else

But, I'm just man of few means
With limited dreams
Never saw my coffers
fill up to the seams

It's like I better pay Washington
Or they'll show up on my lawn
And walk right through my door
And take even more. And take even more. And take even more. And take even more.

I pay my fair share
I try to do the right thing
And my home is my castle
But hey I'm just pauper king
And I love being free
But if this keeps up I'll be free
of having anything !

Ain't got much money
Don't hear anybody calling me rich
But the IRS called me
A son of America

Sonofa Merica

 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Live It While You Can

Up is down, black is white, right is wrong, left is right
Think I might just go fishin'
Day is night, might makes right, judges judge, fighters fight,
So tonight, I'll just go fishin'
World keeps turnin' and won't stand still,
kaleidoscope of good and ill.
I can't change it so I guess I will, just go fishin'.
Square is round, lost is found, quiet's loud, meek are proud,
I'll be bound to just go fishin'
Big is small, short is tall, I don't really care at all
so y'all, I'll just go fishin'.
The world can be a crazy place. When it gets up in your face,
get yourself and old cane pole, meet me at the fishin' hole.
Low is high, truth's a lie, don't know whether to laugh or cry,
Think that I will just go fishin'.
Good is bad, bad is good, thinkin' that I really should,
just go fishin'.
 

Just Go Fishin' (Original w/lyrics)

Broke Down in Tupelo
John Delk 2015

She took the high road out of Memphis
She had all that she could take
She called off the wedding
An her heart was about to break

Now he use to be a better man
But the whiskey changed  it all
She got tired of picking him up
Every time he'd fall

She drove a while in a pouring rain
Got as far as she could go
Stopped the car and started crying
She broke down in Tupelo

       Too many times changed her mind
       Made her question what she knows
       They broke up in Memphis
       She broke down in Tupelo


Now she don't know why
But when she stopped  to cry
She thought about going back

But she said right then
He's probly drunk again
An she ain't looking for that

       chorus

He use to be a better man
But the whiskey changed  it all
She got tired of picking him up
Every time he'd fall

She drove awhile in a pouring rain
She got as far as she could go
Stopped the car and started crying
Broke down in Tupelo

 chorus

Broke Down In Tupelo

Blanket From The Cold

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

(Glenny G's One Man Band)

WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP
HIS DADDY TALKED A LOT
ABOUT GROWING UP
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

AS A CHILD BACK THEN
IT DIDN'T MEAN MUCH TO HIM
TO HIS DADDY,  IT MEANT A LOT
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

BOARDTREE CREEK
RAN THRU BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE BOY'S HUNG OUT
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

(CHORUS)
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE WATER RUNS COLD
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE MEMORIES UNFOLD
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE COOL WIND BLOWS
WHERE THE COOL WIND BLOWS

THE COLD WATER WAS GREAT
ON THOSE HOT SUMMER DAYS
THEY BECAME LIFE LONG FRIENDS
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

BOARDTREE BOTTOM
HAD A SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH
WHERE MANY WERE BAPTISED
DOWN IN BOARDTREE CREEK

COUNTRY LIFE WAS DIFFERENT
WAY BACK THEN IN THE SOUTH
THE TIMES, THEY HAVE CHANGED
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

(REPEAT CHORUS)
