Expedition - Offer Open Collaboration

I always like to tell a story in a song, and this one tells a tale of misfortune, starting out looking like fate, while ending up as a tale of woe that is all fun in the telling. I started the tune, created the framework, and set the stage in Verse 1 and chorus and passed it off to Keith for him to continue to take the tune in any direction he wanted...and...well...darned if he didn't go and do just that...beep!   ;)

Lyrics:
 You Baby You

V1.  The time had come for me to leave, I grabbed my jacket and my cap
I slid my glass along the bar and I slipped out in the back
I didn’t see the car approach as I stepped out from the curb …ow -owowow!
I didn’t see it was you baby, you baby, you baby, it was you behind the wheel
You baby, you baby, you baby, you baby…you behind that wheel
I’ll never forget, the look in your eyes glancing at me as I flew over the hood
Your rag-top down, I ended up in the back seat upside-down
Ya only get one shot to make it right, Can I get ya number here tonight?
It was you baby, you baby, you baby…you for me

V2. Well three years later and it’s a pretty romance
She stood on my toes, but she taught me to dance
Every damn morning, well, a she burning my toast
But she is quite a good looker, so I don’t like to boast
My Mama say “She was never fair maid…
“Nothing comes cheap when you gotta pay”
She said: “Nothing is cheap, if you gotta pay!”
I thought she was crazy, clumsy and cheap
But so damn pretty that she makes me go… Beep! 
I’m telling you baby, you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
I’m telling you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
Ya just get one shot at this life…So pull out  ya finger and make it count
You baby, you baby, you baby…You and me

V3. So… this is where it ended, all my life in disarray …old timer
I thought I’d gotten away with it, but boy did she make me pay
She said one day she a come back, when all her cash runs out
But now I gotten my trailer I can’t put up with my back put out
I thought she was crazy, clumsy and cheap
But so damn pretty she can still make me go… beep!
Argh…no, no, no!
You baby, you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
You baby, you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
The animals went in two by two, I guess we done it too
Ooooh you baby, you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
We just get one shot at this life…So pull out ya finger and make it count
You baby, you baby, you baby…You and me…ho-ho!

LIVE OR DIE

Intravenous information
Way too much explanation
Getting to my circulation
Spin me round
I get high

I wanna know
You wanna know
To live or die
I wanna know
We wanna know
To live or die

From the sea or sky
It’s all the same
From the north and south
It’s all the same
It’s wet or dry
Feast or famine
Do this, do that, do something
Can’t be doing nothing

More and more…
On and on…

More and more…
On and on…
I can’t stop

It’s all too easy
I turn on the power
It’s never gonna touch me
It’s all too easy
Complete strangers
So far away
So far away

Needle drip drop overload 
Twist and turn hand it over
Play the game kick the can  
Spin the boy
I get high

More and more…
On and on…

More and more…
On and on…
I can’t stop

I wanna know
You wanna know
To live or die
To die
I wanna know
We wanna know
To live or die
To die

Live Or Die

A Fifties era rock & roll heartthrob has his heart broken for the first time...
From the EP "Smilers"
Lyrics:
I had to fall in love with the girl of my dreams
The girl that lets you understand
What the universe means
But then she up & broke my heart
She tore me apart at the seams
She just looked at me and said
"Do you think you have a monopoly on tears?"
Monopoly on tears

I was the last
Self actualized Man 
Walking on planet earth
I took her up to "promise" hill
Looking for a thrill
Monopoly on tears

Wolfman Jack he won't console me
And the songs on the radio
You know, they just start to bore me
You know I could be your hard luck sock hop puppet
(All the ways I could..)
I could be your Cadillac fins
I could be your suburban
Underground 
Bomb shelter 
Best friend
You don't have a monopoly on tears
Monopoly on tears

Monopoly On Tears

LA PHOTO

Pour la photo rapproches-toi,
Main sur le dos, donnes moi le bras.
Dans un sourire fixons la page
Et pas se dire, c’est un passage….

Beau ce cliché il est vivant,
Nos yeux brouillés en disent tant.
On y respire et çà se voit,
Tant de plaisir à être là.

Sur ce bristol tout en couleurs,
Marque l’envol d’un grand bonheur.
Dans ces images si belles en soi
Font un passage qu'on oublie pas,

Et pas du souvenir
En restant au présent,
Sans ne jamais me dire
C’était hier, antan…
Je me tourne au futur
Le regard en av’nir,
Quand l’amour est bien mûr
Il me faut le cueillir.

Je regarde les rêves lointains,
Sans prendre garde on y revient,
Et toute la peine surgit si vite,
Quand les « on s’aime » prennent la fuite.

,Alors dis-moi que cette photo,
Elle restera comme le plus beau.
Qu’encore loin et même vieux
Ce papier peint sera nous deux.

Et pas du souvenir
En restant au présent,
Sans ne jamais me dire
C’était hier, antan…
Je me tourne au futur
Le regard en av’nir,
Quand l’amour est bien mûr
Il me faut le cueillir.

Et pas du souvenir
En restant au présent,
Sans ne jamais me dire
C’était hier, antan…
Je me tourne au futur
Le regard en av’nir,
Quand l’amour est bien mûr
Il me faut le cueillir.

Et pas du souvenir
En restant au présent,
Sans ne jamais me dire
C’était hier, antan…

Et pas du souvenir,,,

THE PHOTO

For the photo come closer,
Hand on your back, give me your arm.
With a smile let's stare at the page
And not to say to oneself, it is a passage….

Beautiful this shot it is alive,
Our blurred eyes say so much.
We breathe there and it shows,
So much fun to be there.

On this colorful bristol,
Marks the flight of great happiness.
In these images so beautiful in themselves
Make a passage that we don't forget,

And no memory
Staying in the present,
Without ever telling me
It was yesterday, yesteryear...
I turn to the future
Looking ahead,
When love is ripe
I have to pick it up.

I look at distant dreams,
Without taking heed we come back to it,
And all the pain arises so quickly,
When the "we love each other" run away.

So tell me that this photo,
She will remain as the most beautiful.
That still far and even old
This wallpaper will be the two of us.

And no memory
Staying in the present,
Without ever telling me
It was yesterday, yesteryear...
I turn to the future
Looking ahead,
When love is ripe
I have to pick it up.

And no memory
Staying in the present,
Without ever telling me
It was yesterday, yesteryear...
I turn to the future
Looking ahead,
When love is ripe
I have to pick it up.

And no memory
Staying in the present,
Without ever telling me
It was yesterday, yesteryear...

And no memory,,,

Lunatics 94 / In Your Eyes / Ft Cosmic Ratzzz and Joerxworx

This is a re-imagining/redux of an original song written way back in 1985. It was a signature song for an LA band I was in at the time called The Program. Originally written as a straight ahead rock tune, the funky and catchy bass pattern was the central component of the song. This new arrangement and recording maintains that original bass pattern and vibe, but definitely takes the tune into completely new realms! Enjoy!

Aside from musical satisfaction and $$$ - the motivations for artists to keeping going can be an addiction to the love from the audience.

SCREAMING AND THROWING UNDIES

Take my time with plug-ins
Connection satisfaction
Waving arms like a summons
Pointy introductions
And soon I’m ridin’ minor sevenths
Endorphins in my canal
I’m like a godly presence
As music funks it’s way around

But the pessimist inside – says shoot me your lovin’ arrows
Cause the deficit is – oh - the needing of something so shallow
Gimme screaming and throwing undies (love me love me love me)
Gimme screaming and throwing undies

Career or labour of love
Try and define it
Eyeing up those at the front
Is anyone buyin’ it
I’m phrasing out the words I wrote
Looking for misty eyes 
Reaching for a soulful note
Into clover wrap me tight 

Nature’s opium ride
Musicality
Bathing up here in spotlight
Dopamine alchemy                             Yeah I’m riding . . .

No Way Out

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.
