IT'S ALL THE COIN YOU'VE GOT
AND ALL THE LOVING IN ONE HAND
THERE'S A CHANCE TO TAKE THE LOT
UNTILL YOU FIND THE KEY, IT TURNS TO SAND

IF I COULD UNFOLD THIS MYSTERY
THE OLD MAN SAID NOTHING COMES FOR FREE
IT COULD TAKE YOU LIFE, WITH WHAT YOU CHOOSE
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO

WHAT'S IN YOU

SOMEDAY YOU'LL WIN A TRICK IN A HAT
YOU BETTER WISH REEL HARD, IN ONE HAND
IS ALL THE TRUTH TO MUCH
MAY'BE  IT'S ALL, IN TWO HANDS

I GUESS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT IS TRUE
YOU'VE LOST THE BIGGEST PART OF YOU
IT COULD TAKE YOUR LIFE, WITH WHAT YOU CHOOSE
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO

WHAT'S IN YOU
(break)
IF I COULD UNFOLD THIS MYSTERY
THE OLD MAN SAID NOTHING COMES FOR FREE
IT COULD TAKE YOU LIFE, WITH WHAT YOU CHOOSE
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO

WHAT'S IN YOU

WHAT'S IN YOU

Our bodies are enslaved, but our minds and our spirits do not have to be. Do not fear thinking outside what is considered normal, do not fear to think unlike your peers. If they judge you, let them; their opinions are of ill importance; what matters is your heart, what matters is the truth. This physical existence is but only a short chapter in the epic tale of you and I; a tale that connects us all and stretches throughout eternity.

As your lives are spent working day in and day out to reach the a-typical material goals, ask yourself in a deeper sense: are you happy? Do you know true happiness? Or do you merely find comfort within the confines of societal boundaries because it is safer to follow the majority?
	
Liberate your spirit; even if it means being criticised, even if it means being considered abnormal; everyone has the right and/or power to be themselves, we just need to break free from the shackles of fear which hold us back from revealing what is behind the mask.

Marty Andersson: From the Archives - Liberation (Spoken Word)

Lyrics-

I'm ready to crawl again. I keep on falling on my head.
And in this sea I'll drown if I can't keep myself from falling down.
When I'm ready to stand again I will never have to pretend
I'm falling down, I'm falling down

When I'm ready to call  your name and get myself back up again
From falling down, from falling down, falling down again

Now I'm ready to walk a mile, slip and fall but I still smile
While falling down Falling down

Now I'm ready to rearrange and won't look back to make the change from falling down, falling down again

Falling Down

Hopefully this will help the hot summertime blues.
My childhood fantasy of a broken down ice cream truck having to give away all the ice cream. Chaos begins.
Lyrics:
We loved our ice cream in the Summertime
All the neighborhood kids
With their nickels and dimes
You can hear him down the block
That crazy fun house chime
He calls himself
"The Good Humor Man"
I don't know why
His face looks like he's a victim of crime

Sad
Man 
Ice cream 
Truck
Your truck is overheating and now you are stuck
That ice cream's melting
Give it to us?
Sad man ice cream truck
Sad man ice cream truck
Oh that ice cream is melting
And he's giving it to us!
Sad man ice cream truck

 Oh there's about 150 kids
I've seen kids (not from around here)
From far away as 5th Avenue 
And Columbus Circle
We want our Drumsticks!
Firecrackers!
And the Popsicles!
That turn your lips purple

Sad
Man 
Ice cream 
Truck
Your trucks is overheating 
Now you are stuck
Sad man ice cream truck
All that ice cream is melting
And he's giving it to us!
Sad man ice cream truck

All this ice cream
It's all for free!
Well, can't you see?
It's a price that can't be beat
In the summer heat
The kids over eat
Now there are kids over there
Puking in the street!
The cops come and bust up the fuss
Oh ice cream man you're a hero to us

Sad man ice cream truck
Your truck is overheating and now you are stuck
Sad man ice cream truck...

Sad Man Ice Cream Truck Blues

Primarily a fun song that takes a bit of humor from the experience of a guy who tried so hard to be a good husband, a good guy, but ultimately loses out. Bemoans all the sacrifices he made, yet he could never please his wife.   

My special thanks to Nat Daniels for stepping in to add some critical new pieces to my old recording, including some great production work!

Lyrics:
You made my mind up, you turned my head around
You said my time was up, it’s time to settle down
You bought your wedding gown

I tried to follow, I thought I loved you so
So much to swallow, you said I had to grow
I tried it even though...

I didn’t think that I was, all that bad a guy but,
I listened to your kissin’ girl
I just killed myself to go on living

Now you want to, pick up with someone new
Now that I blew, my soul away for you
The things you put me through

You got your lawyer, to take my house from me
Last time I saw ya, you had my LTD
You wouldn’t stop for me

I didn’t think that I was, all that bad a guy but,
I listened to your kissin’ girl
I just killed myself to go on living

You got my toaster, you got my bowlin’ night
You weren’t supposed to, just disappear from sight
It just isn’t right

You got my hair changed, you made me chew my food
You made me sleep strange, just cause it felt so good
I gave you all I could

I didn’t think that I was, all that bad a guy but,
I listened to your kissin’ girl
I just killed myself to go on living
Just to go on living, just to go on living, just to go on living
I gave you all I could

(Rap section)
Didn’t think, didn’t think now
Never thought, I never ever thought how
Didn’t think that I could live without you
Everything about me was about you
I can tell I’m living by myself to go on living

I Gave You All I Could

*** Rien Ne Va Plus. ***

Faites vos jeux!
Moi, je veux bien, car mon système est infaillible.
Je vais placer tous mes jetons d'une façon sûre et progressive
a chaque tour doublant la mise sur tous les manques de passion.

Les jeux sont faits!
Mon indecision est prise:
Je vais crever refléchissant si j'aurais dû marier Denise
si j'aurais dû tuer Bertrand
si j'aurais dû doubler la mise, passionément, a la folie,
au lieu d'épouser Sophie
et m'enliser dans la routine de tous ces piètres cependants
de tous ces tièdes caquetages...
Oui! J'aurais voulu doubler la mise pour annoncer mes finalements.

Rien ne va plus!
Dans ce tripot clandestin
je vois enfin la vérité des martingales
mes yeux figés pour contempler
la danse affreuse et inégale des mains habiles du croupier
poussant la bille et le manchon
pour amorcer les pièges à cons.

Faites vos jeux... 
Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus...

Il faut partir. Je suis fauché.
Je n'ai plus rien à faire ici.
Malgré tout ce que j'avais promis,
j'ai gaspillé tous mes jetons
dans la folie des illusions.
Comme un voleur lassé de nuits,
je prends la route, en écoutant
un sourd appel au seuil des vents.

shattercone - the final couplet

¡¡ Warning: very old track with very LO-FI sound !!

A tribute to the heavy origins I wrote on July 1994: two alternating riffs and a 3rd theme for a rest; little by little encouraging voice and of course, distortion on rhythmic and solo guitars.

Tributo al jevi original que escribí en julio de 1994: dos riffs alternados y un 3er motivo para ir descansando, voz que poco a poco se va encendiendo, y claro, distorsión en rítmica y solista.

Lyrics/Letra:

Casi he olvidado el tiempo
 en que podía decirte que no.

He tirado mi cigarro a la noche
y no quiere apagarse,
para seguirla viendo desnuda
a la luz de la calle.

Si hay sí,
pero ni la piscina,
ni los tragos de Passport,
pudieron apagar...
...mi cuerpo, su cuerpo, ¡qué locura! (bis)

Casi he olvidado el tiempo
en que podía decirte que no.

Y ahora vuelvo a estar atrapado
de lo que pude escapar,
ahora vuelvo a ser esclavo
de lo que pude olvidar...
...de ti, de tu cuerpo, nena, ¡qué locura! (bis)

Cuando podía decirte que no (Si hay sí)

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.
