FROM UKRAINE WITH LOVE

With so many people making music--literally tens of millions--there is a serious overcrowding problem, creating a wall of white noise; to stand out from that background, a musician must bring something very different to the table :)

EVERYTHING CREATED DIES inst

Torn Apart

I'm doing keyboards and backing vocals on this one from the early 1980's

FUTURE LIFE tune from early 1980's

At The Necropolis

AT THE NECROPOLIS

MY MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN
>
MY MIND HAS GOT THE BEST OF ME
PROTESTING THAT I’M CONTRARY
BUT WHO AM I TO DISAGREE
SO MUCH BETTER TO BE CIRCUMSPECT
THAN OVERSTEP SOME SACRED BOUNDARY
>
MY HEAD CONTAINS AN OCEAN
ONE THATS CONSTANTLY IN MOTION
AND AMIDST ALL THIS COMMOTION
I NEVER GET TO BE THE MAN I WANT TO BE
>
NOW THE BATS ARE IN THE BELFRY
LOCKED AWAY IN MY MEMORY
WITH ONLY ROCKS FOR COMPANY
CONCEALED UNDER A LOCK OF SHIFTING HAIR
>
ACCESSED WITH THE TWIST OF A SKELETON KEY
>
MY MIND, MY MIND
>
MY MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN
SO I’M….NEVER ALONE
>
NEVER HAVE TO THINK FOR MYSELF
OR LOOK AFTER MY HEALTH
CAN JUST GO WITH THE FLOW
SIMPLY SAY, I DONT KNOW
SPEND THE DAY STARING OUT OF THE WINDOW
>
I’M OUT OF MY MIND
>
EARNED LONG AGO TO KEEP MY PLACE
TO NEVER SHOW MY REAL FACE
TO DO SO WOULD DISTURB THE FLOW
TO DO SO WOULD OPEN THE WINDOW
>
MY MIND, MY MIND
>
I ONLY HAVE ONE MEMORY
THE DAY I CHOSE TO DISAGREE
I BEGGED TO DIFFER, FOOLISHLY
AND PAID THE PRICE EMPHATICALLY
>
MY MIND, MY MIND
>
MY SILVER LINED MIXED UP MIND
CAN SOMETIMES LAG BEHIND
WITHOUT WARNING, EVERY MORNING
HE KEEPS PULLING DOWN THE BLINDS

MY MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN

ONE MORE TIME FOR THE FATHERLAND

PLAY 
PLAY PLAY THE GAME
>
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO JUMP ON TRAINS
BUT I REFUSE TO PLAY THE GAME
ALTHOUGH I LOSE, THERE IS NO SHAME
BY STAYING TRUE I’VE MUCH TO GAIN
>
SO YOU THINK I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU
WELL YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT’S FAR FROM TRUE
ALTHOUGH I’M NOT A PERFECT FIT
I WOULD NOT SWAP OR WALK IN YOUR SHOES
>
PLAY PLAY
>
GIVING IN IS THE ORIGINAL SIN
IT SHOULD BE THE LAST TEMPTATION
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR WAYS TO BREAK THE SKIN
TAKE CONTROL THROUGH SATURATION
>
I REFUSE TO PLAY THE GAME
>
COULD SWALLOW YOU WHOLE, THAT INCLUDES THE SOUL
BUT IT LACKS IMAGINATION
TO SLOWLY TIGHTEN THE GRIP
THEY INSERT A DRIP
AND MONITOR THE CHAIN REACTION
>
I REFUSE TO PLAY THE GAME
>
I REFUSE TO PLAY THE GAME
PLAY PLAY
