Think it's 'bout time I be callin on Your sweet Name

Jesus went out for a walk one night
Out on the deep blue sea
His followers awaiting their God to see
He started to walk right past the boat
But then He heard a bittersweet cry
The twelve were shouting out into the tide
The scream of fear and aching to be heard
Turned the God of this universe around
With just one word (but the only voice they heard)

I’m screamin out to You
Please don’t pass me by
The storms are drawing nigh
I need Your hand of perfect strength
To pull me through
I’m screamin out to You
Out of my complacency
No more driftin out to sea
From the bottom of my heart
To the top of the moon
I'm screamin out to You, Lord
    						
Peter went out for a walk one night
Out on the deep blue sea
Sure he’d reach the God in whom he believed
But as his eyes started drifting
Him mind started shifting	
Back upon himself
As if he put his faith up on a shelf
From the wrestling of the panic deep within
To the surface of the raging waters
The battle cry begins

I’m screamin out to You
Please don’t pass me by
The storms are drawing nigh
I need Your hand of perfect strength
To pull me through
I’m screamin out to You
Out of my complacency
No more driftin out to sea
From the bottom of my heart
To the top of the moon

Think it's 'bout time I be callin on Your sweet Name
Think it's 'bout time
No more complacency, no, no, no

I’m screamin out to You
Please don’t pass me by
The storms are drawing nigh
I need Your hand of perfect strength
To pull me through
I’m screamin out to You
Out of my complacency
No more driftin out to sea
From the bottom of my heart
To the top of the moon
						
It's about time I'm screamin out to You, oh
I know You're never gonna pass me by
He who calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved

WAITING FOR THE RAIN

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill

The hidden lines and lives
Walk their natural time above the plain
From hill fort to the bunkers underground 
The hill can quicken up your pulse
Standing on Dryhill
You can taste it on your breath
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain 
Waiting for the rain

Aeons old and yesterday
In a scintillation (Standing on Dryhill)
A breathless moment under 
The curious twinkling stars (Standing on Dryhill)
The water moves beneath us
It moves below the ice

(below, be-low)

A long-gone, summer swift scream
The hill is not dry
The vines do not wither
Rippling the waters of our many lives
The heart of the hill 
Beats on
Pushing the sleeping rabbit to awake and run (run, run, run)
Seize the seasons
Hang the reasons
In a thousand years the hill will not remember us or its many names…
Our heads boiled, eaten down to the white bone

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
Standing on Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain

Standing on Dryhill…

Go Home To You

Wishy Washy.      (c2024)

He spent his whole life. He tried to do right
He gave them his best years. 
He worked late each night
He ruined his eyesight. 
Trying to get ahead

He was a company man through to the bone.  
He was always at work even when he was at home.
But like a commodity to be bought and liquidated
They had to let him go when the economy deflated

Hot prospects turn cold some say he’s too old
To start all over again
There’s too much free time he just can’t unwind
He’s forgotten how to play

He gave them his heart he gave them his soul  
and then they turned around and let him go
They said they had to watch the bottom line
It was getting pretty close to corporate bonus time
They said here’s wishing you the best of luck it’s nothing personal

He sits on a park bench smelling the stench 
of his broken dreams
And people they walk past no flags at half-mast 
for the demise of the company man

He was a company man through to the bone.  
He was always at work even when he was at home.
But like a commodity to be bought and liquidated
They had to let him go when the economy deflated
They had to let him go and now he needs to be sedated
He gave them his heart he gave them his soul  
and then they turned around and let him go
They said they had to watch the bottom line
It was getting pretty close to corporate bonus time
They said here’s wishing you the best of luck it’s nothing personal
They said here’s wishing you the best of luck it’s nothing personal

-Verse 1-
Each day, 6 PM, the job is done
You’re now released from the daily vile pain
Time for the night life you indeed have won
Time for the night life, time to refresh your brain

Looking in the mirror, little wink, pretty girl
That night’s gonna be wild, music will make you swirl

	Oooh, Rock’n’Roll, thrilling glow
	Oooh, let you go for a show
	Hair blowing free in the air
	Leave your soul fully bare

-Chorus 1-
		You simply kiss Rock’n’Roll
		You simply love Rock’n’Roll

-Verse 2-
Each week, on Friday, new week-end to come
You want some freedom, exhibit the chromes
Time for a wild life, with your friends you shine
Time for a wild life, time to share that good wine

Tight jean’s for your round butts, make-up for your bright eyes
Let your tits nicely rock, no wildness to disguise

	Oooh, motorcycles will roar
	Oooh, let you go for a ride
	Hair in the wind, you will glide
	You need to feel your pride

-Chorus 2-
		You simply ride Rock’n’Roll
		You simply live Rock’n’Roll

-Ending-
You simply kiss Rock’n’Roll
	You simply love Rock’n’Roll
		You simply ride Rock’n’Roll
			You simply live Rock’n’Roll

FAWM no. 13... a cheery song about a dystopian, apocalyptic future that may or may not be based on recent climate summits 😬. Wanted to go full orchestral on this, a bit like if Randy Newman had done a song with ELO...

LYRICS

Out here in the desert
We’re turning off the lights
We had a good time, baby
Now the pipes are running dry
Back in 2023, we said it would all be fine
I guess that we were wrong
And you were right

Towers in the distance
Tremble in the heat
We built our Babylon
Out of oil and concrete
Now join us on the hundredth floor
As the waters rise
Watch the little people tryin’ to survive

And it looks like the end of the world
And everyone knows it’s
The way we all chose it
And if it’s the end of the world
It can’t be denied
We all had the time of our lives

These days you will struggle
To find somewhere that’s free
From fire, flood or famine
And human misery
London’s underwater, L.A.’s smoke and dust
Seven billion vehicles slowly rust

But don’t you worry, baby
Baby, don’t despair
You didn’t think this story
Really ended there
For the lucky few (and hey that’s you!)
There’s a colony on Mars
I hear the shuttle’s waiting to depart

And it looks like the end of the world
Everyone knows it’s
The way we all chose it
And if it’s the end of the world
It can’t be denied
We all had the time of our lives

It’s been quite a ride
Now kiss it goodbye….
