Sometimes I Want to Be a Dog
By Cowboy Billy Herron

Sometimes I want to be a dog
Lay around the house all day, like a lump upon a log.
Go out in the yard to pee, it really ain’t that hard to see
Why a dog’s life … that’s the life for me.

Sometimes I want to be a dog.
Forget the way you left me and treated me so wrong.
Not think about you all the time, go sniff another dog’s behind.
A dog’s life yeah that’s the life for me.

Oh, I want to be a dog.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to lead me on.
Turn my tail on memories of you and all we done.  
Sometimes I want to be a dog. 

Oh lord, please let me be a dog.
Wouldn’t have to work or watch the clock.
I’d curl up in my little round bed, oblivious to those words you said.
A dog's life, that's the life for me.

Oh, I want to be a dog.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to lead me on.
Lift my leg on memories of you and all we done.  
Sometimes I want to be a dog. 

A doggie’s life is easy. A doggie’s life is free.
A doggie’s got no worries except for the occasional flea.  
In a doggie’s life the fact you’re gone wouldn’t mean a thing to me.
Sometimes I want to be a dog.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a dog.
Chase a ball and go out for a walk.
And if you come to visit my owner, you wouldn’t know it was me.
And I’d jump up and hump your leg and be as happy as I could be.  
Yeah, I’d jump up and hump your leg and be as happy as I could be.  

Oh God, please let me be a dog.

The way you smile      
chase away        
Long, long miles 
and I'd start today
I’ d walk 10,000 miles
and when it's time to ante up I'll say

I'm all in

Hey yea
I'm knocking down doubt like dominoes
Hey yea
I'm knocking down doubt like dominoes

How will you know when
How will you know when
How will you know when
How will you know when  

I’ d walk 10,000 miles for you; it's true
I’d walk 10,000 miles for you

I'm all in

Hey yea
I'm knocking down doubt like dominoes
Hey yea
I'm knocking down doubt like dominoes

{instrumental}

Hey yea
I'm knocking down doubt like dominoes
Hey yea
I'm knocking down doubt like dominoes

{I'm all in now instrumental}

Hey yea
I'm knocking down doubt like dominoes
Hey yea
I'm knocking down doubt like dominoes

A Little Black Cloud, Gene Jumper, ( Original )

LIVE at the Brunswick in Brighton just before Christmas, a mobile phone recording but it captured the mood. So good to play live again!!!!

https://youtu.be/rlOZFl6fwd4

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

Murder On Earth's Dance Floor LIVE!

This track is alternative rock track. It is influenced by classical music. Instruments involved are vocals, acoustic piano, violin, drums and bass. My sound is mysterious, packed with melancholy and anger and it is also expressive.

Demons

In 2020 I visited the Isle of Whithorn on the Solway in Scotland.  In the middle of the night I woke up and saw a Little Egret standing still on the rocks below.  the place was so full of atmosphere with St Ninian's chapel high up on the headland keeping watch for the fishing boats to return safely to the harbour.   The next morning, I was inspired to write a poem about what I'd seen.  I've finally made the poem into a song.  Layering up tracks using my Yamaha P121 piano and Roland interface with SM 58 mic which is popping a bit and using audacity to record.  I enjoyed layering up the harmonies and keyboard voices on this.

===== Lyrics =====
The phone cord
The stereo
The television wires
Are twisting
And all I hear
Is your voice in my mind

Can I call you?
Can I call you?

All I know is
Tomorrow
Is forty years away
And I wonder
And wander
Through the land of time and faith

Could I want you?
Could I want you?

My head
And my heart
And my mouth
Have all run dry
And I wait for
Wait for 
One droplet from the sky

Could I have you?

‘Cause with you I’m drinking saltwater
Never get enough
An ocean full
But I’m still hollow
Reaching for your cup
With you I’m drinking saltwater

A sinking doubt
Won’t wash out in the flood
A tidal wave
Can’t fill a broken cup
Could we decide
If this could be enough
A tidal wave
Can’t fill a broken cup

(Drinking saltwater
Saltwater)

‘Cause with you I’m drinking saltwater
Never get enough
An ocean full
But I’m still hollow
Reaching for your cup
With you I’m drinking saltwater
With you I’m drinking saltwater

(Drinking saltwater)
