Serious Humour

Beatnik

Fool me now and burn me twice
Take a bow and roll the dice
Something here is rotten every day
I never liked the ending of that play

What you want you couldn't be
What I am lies easily
Every wicked hour that we spent
Did you ever wonder where they went?

Don't tell me, don't tell me,
Don't tell me who I am
You sell me, compel me,
You say I give a damn

I want this I bleed this
Don’t tell me not to be
I take this, I need this this
You’ve had enough of me

Will you wear the right disguise,
Win the devil in my eyes
I guess you haven’t seen me in awhile
I know you only miss what you defile

You can tell me sweet new lies
You were always cruel and wise
Can you tell me now we are the same
Would you make me doubt the stars are flame

But you want me more
And you hold me dear
We've been here before
And I have no fear...

But you want me more
And you love me dear
We've been here before
And I have no fear

Bon't tell me, don't tell me,
Don't tell me who I am
You sell me, compel me,
You say I give a damn

I want this, I bleed this
Don’t tell me not to be
I take this I need this this
You’ve had enough of me

You can sing to my ghost
Call up your choir of angels and swear it
You could love me the most
Maybe it's over I know I don't care it's

Fool me twice and hold me tight
I could never make this right
Were we always less than what we seem
Captive in the confine of a dream

Foolishly did I believe
I have been the more deceived
Even though a cruelty can be kind
There are better ways that you could find

Well chosen, just go then,
You fall so easily
You sell me, compel me,
But I am broken free

Don't tell me, don't tell me,
Don't tell me not to be
.
NOTES:
This is based on Ophelia

Not to Be (acoustic)

So I poured another measure and it doesn't look right
We'll be giggling and dancing 'til the end of night
So close your eyes and down it as the next one pours
Well now I've gone and said it as I am all yours

CHORUS
There's  nothing in this world that could ruin today
[I feel I'm alive]
I have these mad ideas that I whisk you away
[We blossom and thrive]
There's nothing in this world that could ruin a night electric
What makes our minds tick?
There's nothing in this world that could ruin today

And I didn't finish laughing 'til my stomach hurt
The kind of words that aren't the most conventional flirt
So pour another vodka, which one of them is mine?
I think I may have overpoured like I'm inclined to

CHORUS

Another Vodka

Arboles Blancos (2mod Sara Remix)

I was in love with West Side Story from age 5 on. 
This is a free interpretation of Somewhere.

Original soundtrack from West Side Story written by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. 

Edit: I am so sad Stephen Sondheim died a few days after this release. So I declare this interpretation as my tribute to him. Thank you so much for your everlasting romantic poetry Mr. Sondheim. Rest in peace. 

Vocals and backings created and recorded by Neli CoKo.

"Winter in the City of Vancouver": On All Streaming Platforms. Here's a landing page: https://linktr.ee/michaelfirthsellers

This is a song about mature resignation in the face of human indifference and natural elements you can do nothing about.

My thanks to Chris Curtis for his harmonies, and to Sergio Aguilar of 423 Studios, for the supremely judged production and instrumental ability he brings to every song we have recorded!

"I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving."
- Brandon Jay McLaren

"I eat out three times a day most days of the year. This is no big deal to most (city dwellers), and it is not something I am necessarily proud of - it's simply the nature of my itinerant life."
- Ben Elliot

Lyrics
Winter in the city of Vancouver
It’s brutal if you don’t have some steady pay
And any working hours you’ve gained
Don’t help to ease the pain
Of living on the edge day after day

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Hail and sleet are flaying me alive
Cos the ragged clothes I wear
Let in more than I can bear
It’s an endless daily struggle to survive

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
I’m seeking work to get me through to summer
If the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Coyotes snapping at my heels as I walk through Stanley Park
I sure don’t care to find out if their bite is worse than their bark!
My coffee’s cold in my two-year-old disposable Starbucks cup
I fear my hopes are so far down there’s no way to pull them up!

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Christmas snow, the first in many years
As I tramp through dirty slush
My face a cold, red flush
I brush away my bitter icy tears

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
If I knock upon your door, give me whatever chore
And if the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
Boss man says "Just a day, then on your way, son"
But at least I get some dollars in my hand

Winter in the city of Vancouver
A city that I love and love to hate
I’m looking for some heat,
And something good to eat
Nothing more, for now at any rate

LYRICS:

At any moment on any day
A little friction can wipe us all away
In times of trouble, in times of strife
Spare no expense 'cause the price is human life
They come to conquer like they were God's own hand
And set the world ablaze to seize a little land

And everything going down is nothing but disaster
And transgressions of humanity
And everything taking shape is nothing short of wrongful
And crimes that echo in the pages of history

At any moment on any day
The clock strikes midnight and all goes down in flames
To meet ambition with vile atrocity
And piss on notions of all diplomacy
And all hell rains down, the wolf is at your door
Hope no one sees what you're compensating for

And everything going down is nothing but disaster
And transgressions of humanity
And everything taking shape is nothing short of wrongful
And crimes that echo in the pages of history

You want it, you got it
You have upset the balance
You want it, you got it
The world is in a bind
It's all just self defense
We've heard that lie before
A brain dead juggernaut
You're not the only one
You want it, you got it
You got the whole world watching
You want it, you got it
Looks like you've gone insane
Affront to everyone
To your own people too
One minute to midnight
It's all because of you

"The threat" "La Menace"

Instrumental Jazzy tune 

In 2022, when the whole world should be concerned about 
the state of the planet, the simple madness of a man makes us fall 
into horror and destruction.

En 2022, alors que le monde entier devrait se préoccuper de l'état 
de la planète, la simple folie d'un homme nous fait basculer 
dans l'horreur et la destruction.

A spoiled king
In my single days
Was I wrong to think
I’d be king always?
I’m of two minds

For I’d placed a crown
On my own head
Then I laid it down
But should I have fled
I’m of two minds

One being bothered by a nagging thought
If he hadn’t dallied he’d have not been caught
The other counting blessings and there are a lot
I’m of two minds

I jumped off the fence
Agreed to a trial
Did I see confidence
In your smile?
I’m of two minds

They say if you really want to get things done
Two heads are always better than one
Have they said other things quite that dumb?
I’m of two minds

and two hearts
where one ends the other starts
Like a snake eats its tail
Like a jailer in jail

So you’re in me
As much as I’m in you
Did we both agree
to say I do?
I’m of two minds

At this point it really doesn’t matter much
My brain went out the window at your touch
I’m lucky now that I have got a spare
Cuz you’ve made me well aware…
The fabric of our lives now intertwines
We’re of two minds

THE LIAR KING

Once I met a king
Crown and everything
Very regal
I’d stay regal
Not sure where he reigned
But I can’t complain
Never asked him
Didn’t ask him
He said if i had a need
I would not have to plead
Servants standing by provide
It’s guaranteed

Well my mind went blank
But I knew to thank
The king so gracious
Very gracious
One day on the town
The king was looking down
Asked his highness
His royal highness
Told me he was without
His wallet when he went out
Could I maybe cover him
I said, sure, no doubt
The liar king!

I was not fooled
But I still played along
It’s all so harmless
How could things go wrong?

Now don’t jump ahead
Wait me out instead
I’ll get to it
Right down to it
The king stayed for a while
Made me crack a smile
Almost daily
nearly daily

When the joke got too stale
And I wouldn’t cover his bail
The king and his crown jumped the town
With no farewell

Why tell the story of how I got burned
Well i want to share what I learned

Liar kings abound
yeah they’re all around
And there’s queens too
Always queens too
tossing their BS
Leave behind a mess
Good riddance
the best riddance
But life can get kind of dull
When bored out of your skull
You might find it fun to run with a colorful liar king

Senso

The Liar King

BY The Numbers-------(Enter The Teacher-Exit The Pupil)

Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry 
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony 
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony 
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery 
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy 
life is never duty free —-there really —-is no certainty 
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
 poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

Let’s Pool our talents together ——and move forward in a big way 
the difference between giant steps and ———-Child’s play 
night and day —-the price we pay 
it’s gotta be—-what the people want —-not what the politicians says
—-I’m not a biblical man—-a man of principle—-I am
I believe in good and evil —and that energy is divine 
Is it a chance or a miracle ——of being who I am ———
who’ll guide and protect you
Too many gods to kneel to ——
So many beliefs to cling to——what’s true?
who do you have to save you 
Is the miracle within you —-clever but ————truth——-ful 
God work is never done —-we’re never in ———-ne——utral 
These are life’s lesson————enter the teacher ———exit the pupil 

take my blessings when I can———-my lessons——- from who I am 
This divine spark of energy ———is it chaos——or life‘s plan 
Is faith—the path ——or journey—-taken by anyone who can
no good or evil theory just the fact that I am is all I need to guide me
————no spoken word or prophecy 
The challenge ——just to stay free—- victory over enemies 
The past is all history—wars—-brutality—- blasphemy 
the suffering —-the agony—-the cruelty—-the tragedy

Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry 
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony 
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony 
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery 
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy 
life is never duty free —-there really is no certainty

One leg dancing


Hey, the moon is out tonight.
Catch us dancing, to a timing that is just 'bout right

Show, show what you can do
One leg dancing is no easy thing to do.

Get balanced, don't slip overboard.
It takes some practice, a rhythm and a chord.

Move, or at least don't stand still.
One leg dancing, if you can't, you bet I will.

So, where have you been?
Come & try the moves, - that rule the scene.

Unwind and at ease, when you're dancing...

Who, who you want to be?
One leg dancer, careless & free.

Get balanced, stick to the floor,
Essential swaying, if you like it you can get some more.

Roll over, then jump back again,
One leg dancing, every woman, every man

Slave, slave to the beat
If you can, join the boogie, or tap your feet

Say, say what you wanna say
Speak to me with body language, 'till the break of day.

Dance, dance to the groove
If you can, do the boogie, yeah

One leg dancing

...and I Am He 

Would it be wrong to not do things I’m supposed to do?
Would it be wrong to not choose what I’m supposed to choose?
To make a bad decision most deliberately?
To make a bad decision with a little slice of pleasure
With a little spark of glee, give my heart up to the devil
Temporarily?

Or permanently?
Or permanently?
Not what I’m supposed to be
But the permanent me

Would it be wrong to tell the truth knowing you’d prefer a lie?
Would it be wrong to choose to share the secrets we agreed to censor
With a smile and a snicker and a little slice of pleasure
Like the little bump of speed from a quickie in a closet
An adrenaline adventure a betrayal I can savor
temporarily

Or permanently?
Permanenty
Not what I’m supposed to be
But the Permanent me

Right as the river
I’m floating so gently on
Which side of things
Will the croupier land me on
I’m obligated
The dice man has cometh
And I am he, and I am he
The dice man has cometh
And I am he, and I am he
The dice man has cometh
And I am he, and I am he

Permanently
Permanently
Permanently

The first time I listened to BoxTox's music, about a year ago, I thought that I would really like to play with him. Lately, when I wrote this piece, I immediately thought maybe it was the right one for his clarinet .. I proposed it to him and ... voilà!

The Story of the Biscuit Roller

The Blues are loaded with culinary references to sex - this is a form of signifying, which is the use of innuendo and doubletalk that is understood by members of one’s community. Countless blues lyrics use metaphor and innuendo to allow the singer to brag about physical attributes and sexual prowess, and state all kinds of desires, without uttering a single profane or off-color word. That’s good signifying. 

it takes bit of imagination for a delicate flaky biscuit dripping with butter and honey to become a metaphor for a delectable woman, and her skillful lover who is called a biscuit roller.

A biscuit roller can be male or female, though, as evidenced by Robert Johnson’s lyric from “If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day”:

“I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long
Boy I woke up this morning, my biscuit roller gone”

Biscuit Roller Blues - JTSunrise Solo Bluesman (Century of Progress)

A few years ago, one of our presidential candidates referred to those who had the audacity to vote for the other candidate as "Deplorables".   It occurred to me that my family and I might fall into that "deplorable" category, so I thought I would offer a little insight into the daily life of us deplorables, or at least the perception of us by many of the social / political elites.               (pictured: the twins)

Microworlds is about how Humans are related to our vast Universe. Humans are little universes themselves. Our eyeball is like a planet, absorbing informations, feelings, light and projecting them back. Looking into someone’s eyes is like looking at someone else’s World. This is what Microworlds is about: stories, people, memories that shaped my world, and can also hopefully relates to and shapes yours.
