Summer of '17 Assorted SC Greats

I live in Montreal West and the radio station in my kitchen is tuned 24/7 to Radio Station K103.7 located on the Kahnawake Indian Reservation.  One day a song by Garland Jeffreys was playing and my poetic juices started flowing. This song was the end result. Hope you enjoy.


                                                  Dominique Is Stoned


                                                       
As Dominique looks out his window
a song comes on the radio
it’s Garland Jeffreys singing to some senorita
saying something about the CIA.
Well it’s three o’clock in the afternoon
and he’s trying to write a tune
about what the Master said
when He turned stones into bread.
But between the words and the smiles
tears flow every once in a while
for he knows that the Masters’ chains
are the slaves’ master - it’s all a game. 

And Dominique 
Dominique                                      
is stoned 
stoned 
stoned
stoned.

Dominique does his best to understand
why the dealers get the upper hand
but he knows that hope turns to crime
in the ghetto even the shadows rhyme
as the children play in the lions den
all in the name of money rubles and yen
and on Sunday it’s “In God We Trust
thank you Jesus for dying for us.”
But between the nightmares and the dreams
his hopes and schemes like diamonds gleam
for he knows that when push comes to shove
we all need someone to love.

And Dominique
is stoned  
stoned 
stoned
stoned. 

 
Dominique spends most his free time
trying to change water into wine
and watching the changes of the colours
he’d like to touch a guru - even a saviour
meet the King of Kings - the Queen of Queens
before the curtains draw the final scene
and the crowd yells crucify - crucify
another false one - he must die
but between the visions and burning bushes
uppers and downers and hip-hop rushes
he knows the day - the day will come
when everyone will touch The Sun.

And Dominique
Dominique 
is stoned
stoned 
stoned 
stoned
stoned
stoned.
 



Dominique Is Stoned

Originally wrote this song in French ( Si Tu Savais)(https://soundcloud.com/peter-wheeler/si-tu-savais).   This is the only one of my own songs that I've translated from one language to the other.


                 What Goes Around - Comes Around

If you only knew how you get on my nerves
one of these days your gonna get what you deserve
what goes around 
comes - comes - comes - comes around

If you only knew how hard it is to put up with you
your never never never satisfied - no matter what I do
what goes around
comes - comes around.

If you only knew that it’s because of you that I wrote this song
your always always right - I’m always wrong
what goes around
what goes around
what goes around
comes - comes around.

Yeah at the end of the day when the sun sits high above
yeah at the end of the day when the sun sails so high above 
(Crazy Love Baby)
your number 1 in my heart
your number 1 in my heart
your number 1 in my heart

your the only one that I love
your the only one that I love
the only one that I love.

What Goes Around Comes Around

A little over 1 week ago Laser Beam challenged me to write a happy song or happy love song, and I've never been able to manage a happy song without it being total shit, so I really thought about what actually made me happy right now, and it was my buddies here on Soundcloud. I have never felt so much love coming to me virtually or otherwise in a long time, so I thought I'd write a song with all (or at least as many as possible) people I've connected with through SC. I managed 56 around which I've tried to make a story for this song.
There are many more, but including everyone would mean a book, not a song. I AM grateful to everyone though, for all their support and love. So this This IS A lalaLOVE song for you.

This IS A lalaLove Song (Lyrics - Please read descrip and visit my SC buddies)


COCAINE 

Another drive-by shooting in the city
another victim - yeah such a pity
the cops have got their hands full
some say it’s just a bunch of bull
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
I’m sayin’ CO-CO-CO-CAINE

Brothers putting their lives 
on the line
so you can get high 
‘n have a good time
posses fighting 
for territory
flying their colors 
collecting MONEY
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE 
I’m sayin’ CO-CO-CO-CAINE
C O-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
Yeah it’s such - such a shame.

Some people preach 
“Just Say No”
others keep dreaming ‘bout 
mountains of snow
pushers fronting - dealing 24/7
so you can get high and feel
your in heaven  - your in heaven 
your in heaven - your in heaven
CO-CO-CO--CAINE  - I’m sayin’ COCAINE  Bro.

You spend your time getting stoned
knowing your not alone
feeling good - your in the zone
it’s a miracle your not insane.
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE 
I’m sayin’ CO-CO-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
Yeah it’s such - such a shame.

Spending your money
on ecstasy
can’t set yourself free
that’s your destiny 
like a dope on a rope
only way you can cope
you visit the devils’ den
so you can get high ‘n feel
your in heaven - your in heaven 
your in heaven
CO-C0-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE.

Nothing To Lose (feat. Kyle Egret)

Available on the album Faraway People https://bit.ly/regmeurossshop

This one's for all the doctors, nurses, care workers and ambulance service staff and everyone struggling to do good in a beleaguered NHS.

On January 11th 2017 I had a message from a friend who is a nurse saying she was huddled in her coat in a cold and drafty corridor in her hospital where a state of emergency had been declared, and she was steeling herself for her shift and the challenges ahead by listening to music. She added that although she felt unwell herself there was no way she could not go in. I wrote this song. What can a song do? I hope at the very least it will offer some acknowledgement to these people who are doing one of the most vital jobs there is, under extreme pressure and in near impossible conditions. I also want to draw attention to the crisis in the NHS. Please listen the song, download the song, please lobby your MP, please let’s do anything we can to stop the gradual privatisation of a service that has been the envy of the world in terms of health care for so long.

Nurse - Angel In A Blue Dress

She grabs a cup of coffee
And she drops the kids at school
She pulls into the car park 
But every place is full
So she blows an hours wages
In the public parking lot
Just another little piece of her
The government has got

The drivers sit in silence
Clutching mugs of tea
‘What’s up?’, she says. ‘No beds’, they say
It's a state of emergency
So she pulls her coat around her
She puts her headphones in
There's only room for music
Underneath this skin

She's the queen of soul
The Diva of Distress
Compassion makes her whole
She's an angel in a blue blue dress

Her brand new friend is dying
Last night a new friend died
If it wasn't for the music
She knows she would've cried
She knows about the sickness
The loneliness & pain
And she knows what doesn't break her
Will soon come round again

She's the queen of soul
The Diva of Distress
Compassion makes her whole
She's an angel in a blue blue dress

Lyrics:

“Suicide City”

Can’t sleep tonight because the riots in the streets of Hamburg
Just another city, blow it up and head onto the night
Oh it’s such a pity and ain’t nothing going right here
You’d think our need to survive would finally start to kick back in

Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
It’s a Suicide
It’s a Suicide
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
It’s a Suicide (x4)

Has the whole world gone mad?
Don’t we realize the goodness we had?
We have means but still wanna bleed
Just a matter of time ‘til we see the bloody heads roll

It’s suicide!

I use to fear the monsters and beasts
I’d pray to the Lord my soul to keep
From the dangers on the outside
Now I what find the thing is to fear the rage inside

Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
It’s a suicide
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City

Suicide
Suicide City (ain’t nothing pretty in suicide)

Can’t sleep because of the riots in Hamburg
When we blow it up we’re killin' ourselves
I think we’re gonna have remember
How to love again to survive suicide

My Dear Wendy - When I Come Home

A new and driving reimagining of our upcoming EP opening track 'On The Run', performed live in our studio in Chichester.

Lyrics:

Briefest of loves,
Erosion of water,
Leading to caves,
Boring at the pressure,
Where diamonds shine.
Where you were mine.

I took you to water.
To mountains.
There was gold beneath,
Above them rode the dragons,
With silver arteries,
And a lover's nest,
Atop the sun.
Atop the sun.
Atop the sun.

But there were monsters there.
They tore at me,
Tore at you,
Tore at me.

I shall find a boat
And over the raging sea
I shall depart.
To Taiwan.
Taiwan.
Taiwan.

The trees are uprooted with the winds.
My heart is uprooted from in
Side another
I face up to the challenge
Face up to the challenge
Of an ageing,
And what I once did promise
Up in Beijing.
Of what I once did promise,
But as the lights in the evening I'm gone
On a motorbike across Taiwan.
Down to Kaoishiung
To the port town
To the KTV
And the paupers
The harlequins

Lost. Lost. Lost. Lost.

Beneath the airwaves,
Where the soothsayers are.
And they sever the lips on the corner
I'm on the run,
To where my fortune has lead me
In the nightime
After hours
With strange men
Unsheathed
And I've found that I can
Tell you darling
What I have
What I gained
Is something I can't name.

Cause what I needed
Was never in this boot of yours
I've been hoping that my trials
Beneath the old, old town
Won't be forgotten
And last toward the road
That I know
And I can't find a roll
Which shan't be rolled.

Where diamonds shine.
When you were mine.
Where diamonds shine.
When you were mine.

Where monsters lurk.
Where you were mine.

Rainbow Body
I feel like I am Getting lighter
Turning into Disappearing matter
Disappearing Into the ether
Water body And bones
Every cell Stretches out
Dissolving Every cell
Turns to light, Light filled air
Oh soon I’ll fly, Soon I’ll fly

Sometimes I feel like it’s wrenching at me
When I’m letting go of my body
Sometimes I have to look for my feet
When I forget they are under me

Won’t you look at me
I’ve become a rainbow
Around your head I see
Your aura glow
Sometimes it’s so bright
You radiate so
You turn day to night
And night to moon glow

I can’t turn back now
I’m floating higher
Spirit’s claimed me
And I aspire
Where your heart leads
You must follow
Follow me into the rainbow
Follow me into the rainbow….
