Cause you don't have to share the truth when you're dealing with me. Cause you're fooling Yourself not fooling me No. Honesty for peace ain't such a compromise. I think I can see. Like to know like to know like to know when I look in your eyes. Well, you don't have to share the truth. When you're dealing with me. Cause you're fooling yourself. You're not fooling me. You're not fooling me. No. You're not fooling me. You're not fooling me. No. You're not fooling me. You're not fooling me. No. You're not fooling me. You're not fooling me.

Foolin' Yourself

Havin' Fun

The Double Bind is a term I learned about while listening to Allan Watts

"Double Bind"

They tell you what to do, but don’t tell you how 
Say “just be yourself,” but not right now 
Push you to the edge, then pull the floor 
Lock the open gate, say "Walk through the door"

 Truth is a riddle wrapped up in chains 
They hand you the map but redraw the lanes
Can’t go forward, can’t turn back 
Red light’s green, but the road’s gone black 

 They sell you a dream, then they tax the air 
Say “stand up tall,” but don’t you dare 
Pick a side, but don’t ask why 
Raise your voice, but keep it dry

Up is down, and wrong feels right 
The truth’s too bright, so they kill the light
Can’t go forward, can’t turn back 
Red light’s green, but the road’s gone black 

Speak your mind, but don’t cross the line 
Welcome, my friend, to the Double Bind

Spin the wheel, but the game is fixed
 Read the rules, they don’t exist 
Take a number, wait in line 
Your turn came, but they changed their mind

Can’t go forward, can’t turn back 
Red light’s green, but the road’s gone black 
Speak your mind, but don’t cross the line 
Welcome, my friend, to the Double Bind

Welcome, my friend, to the Double Bind

Double Bind

Adam & Evil by Greg Brown

In the garden, she took the bite, 
Now they’re calling her the one who brought the night. 
Adam stood by, with a passive grin, 
Blamed her for the fall, but he’s just as thin.

Adam and Evil, the tale’s been told, 
But it’s time to rewrite what we’ve been sold. 
She’s the villain, but he’s just as weak, 
Adam and Evil, who do we seek?

She was curious, she wanted to know, 
But they turned her questions into a heavy blow. 
The serpent’s lies, the apple’s charm, 
But they only see her as the one to harm.

Adam and Evil, the tale’s been told, 
But it’s time to rewrite what we’ve been sold. 
She’s the villain, but he’s just as weak, 
Adam and Evil, who do we seek?

Why’s she the sinner, the one to blame? 
While he’s the victim in this twisted game? 
We’ve all been taught to point and shame, 
But it’s time we called it by its real name.

They say she tempted, but who’s the fool? 
Who’s really fallen for the ancient rule?
 It’s not her fault, it’s not her sin, 
It’s time to stand up, and let the truth begin.

Adam and Evil, the tale’s been told,
 But it’s time to rewrite what we’ve been sold. 
She’s the villain, but he’s just as weak, 
Adam and Evil, who do we seek?

So here’s the truth, it’s clear to see, 
Women aren’t evil, they’re just set free. 
Adam and Evil, it’s time to rise, 
We’re rewriting history, opening our eyes.

Adam & Evil

Buzz Buzz – a high-octane shout-out to warm days and late nights

Black Crow In A Redwood Tree – drifting into that woodsy, Americana vibe

Black Crow In A Tree

Loony Balloon – a little prog whimsy for the adventurous soul

Written by Raymond Douglas Davies

Loony Balloon

Uninformed – cheeky satire to keep you smiling (and thinking)

Uninformed

Priceless Moments – a reflective pause to soak it all in

Priceless Moments

Be Kind (Learn Lots) – ending on an uplifting, feel-good high note

Be Kind (With Vinny Johnson)

Double Bind – funky back-and-forth energy to get you moving

Gonna go to Boulder
Colorado in the sun
Gonna catch a show 
Gonna have some fun

Gonna see some new stuff
Gonna walk real far
Gonna see some stars in the sky
Gonna get real high

I’m going to red rocks
High up in the Rockies 
where the mountains strong and old
Wonder   of the world

Gonna eat a good meal
Gonna see the real deal
Gonna have myself a bed
Gonna need to rest my head

Gonna have some coffee and a pot
It’s legal here so why not
Gonna see where she once was
Time to see what’s all the fuss 

Gonna walk around
In a strange new town
Lotta shit been going down
In this red dirt town

I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting 
All of the time
What can I do?

It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting

'Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting 
All of the time
What can I do?

It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting

'Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
For you
For you

Tired Of Waiting For You

I'm not content to be with you in the daytime 
Girl I want to be with you all of the time 
The only time I feel alright is by your side 
Girl I want to be with you all of the time 
All day and all of the night 
All day and all of the night 
All day and all of the night 

I believe that you and me last forever 
Oh yea, all day and nighttime yours, leave me never 
The only time I feel alright is by your side 
Girl I want to be with you all of the time 
All day and all of the night 
All day and all of the night 
Oh, come on... 

I believe that you and me last forever 
Oh yea, all day and nighttime yours, leave me never 
The only time I feel alright is by your side 
Girl I want to be with you all of the time 
All day and all of the night 
All day and all of the night time 
All day and all of the night

All Day and All of the Night

The tax man's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yacht,
He's taken everything I've got,
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa,
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me, help me, help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

The Village Green

Sunny Afternoon

Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad, called obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I am poor, I am free
When I grow I shall fight
For this land I shall die
Let her sun never set
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria

Victoria
