Created over the last ten years or so, the 12 songs on "close" represent observations of things that have happened within ordinary daily life during that time as well as larger events on the world stage. They are concerned with where we are as a civilization as well as where we might be headed. For on that road, we end as stone or light.

I'm in, when you're out
You're twist, and I'm shout
You're bark, and you're bite
Well I'm kiss, and I'm fight

You're rough, and I'm rougher
You're tough, well I'm tougher
But she'll make me suffer
Under the cover

Come and take a ride with me
Across the country lines
To the other side

I'm falling through your liquorice dreams
Your dark history
No, I've no place to hide

No place to hide

I'm rum, you're coke
I'm stick, you're poke
That one master stroke
Oh she's the fire to my smoke

Come and take a ride with me
Across the country lines
To the other side

I'm falling through your liquorice dreams
Your dark history
No, I've no place to hide

No place to hide

...

I'm always too high

No Place To Hide

Had some life changes recently as well as some post-rain walks, this song is the result of that.


Lyrics:

Petrichor,
Yer bellows bring it in with every draw outside your doors
Ghost of yesterday's storm,
Whose lullaby cooled your engines and crowing rev'd 'em up

Petrichor,
Smell its song hung in the air like a trail from your smokestack
Little leftover cloud,
Spirit of the feather-rain that conjured blossoms along your tracks

Petrichor,
Rising like a zombie up from wet grass 'n wet pavement
Gathering like a crowd
Of your old friends, when you pipe "It's been so nice to see you all!
Good bye!"

Petrichor

So I’m driving in my rover.
Yeah!

Robots have taken over. 
The Sun’s gone supernova. 
I’ve run out of cola. 
I’m driving in my rover. 
Yeah.

I pull into a rest stop. 
I ask the guy for soda pop
They glurged at me and pointed up. 
To the distant mountain top. 
Yeah.  Yeah.

I buy a Dizzy 8-0 Ray. 
Load my rover in the bay. 
In the twinkle of the day. 
We’re looking A-O-K. 
Yeah. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

I fly up through the mist. 
The engines growl and hiss. 
To my lips I hold my fist. 
For luck I blow a kiss. 

The clouds begin to peel. 
The scene is revealed. 
My rover makes a squeal. 
It’s excited for a meal. 
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

I switch to landing sequence. 
It parks in perfect silence. 
Rover climbed up the side fence. 
While I checked my finance. 
Yeah. 

I slide through to the shop. 
Buy some pink space soda pop. 
Pay my creds to the cashier bot. 
Tip my can and drink the lot. 
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Robots have taken over. 
The Sun’s gone supernova. 
I’ve run out of cola. 
I’m driving in my rover. 
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.

I wrote this song a while back, and now it's the right time for it to surface! 

We need more Jesus! 
We need Him to shine His light into this dark world. 
Come to Jesus and live!!!

Lyrics:

Let the wind roll by
When the mourning's over
Let the land run dry
Till the wreckage under

How the morning breaks
For the dying soldier
After our mistake
Set the ruining order, once again

How the present makes
Time into endless wonder
And the moment takes
Its divided holder

And the promise states
When the waiting's over
All our lonely days
Come back to be discovered, once again

Out of the Western sky
Out on that misty morning
I'll let the rest abide
Out on that windy morning I'll reside

Let the wind roll by
When the mourning's over
Let the land run dry
Till the wreckage under

How the morning breaks
For the dying soldier
After our mistake
Set the ruling order, once again

Out of the Western sky
Out on that misty morning
I'll let the rest abide
Out on that windy morning I'll reside

Out on that windy morning I'll reside
Out on that windy morning I'll reside

Lyrics:

We stand at the edge of the road
Hold hands and wait for the show
Suzanne is already wasted again
Blue jeans and hot-headed teens
Come with their loaded machines
Dance hard and post till the memories end

I stand alone and watch that fire
Go rattle off in rounds
Don't believe in words
They're laying on the ground
Lost within the herd

Don't ask. You've already seen
Your past is all on the TV screen
Suzanne is suddenly wasting away
New pages, load while you go
Maintain the thought that you already know
Insane is often a meme with a name

I stand alone and watch that fire
Go rattle off in rounds
Don't believe in words
They're laying on the ground
Lost within the herd

Go rattle off your rounds
Don't believe in words
They're laying on the ground
Lost within the herd

Lost within the herd
Lost within the herd

We stand at the edge of the road
Hold hands and wait for the show
Suzanne is already wasted again

Lyrics:

The left, the right
Their wounded eyes are calling
The men decide on who's to rise or fall in
To wage a war or capture more of your things
The red, the white, the blue tonight is falling

And I'll be damned if I'm naïve
And I'll be damned if I don't bleed
I'm not an angel or a thief
But I am
A young American beast

The sun will rise
And bluer skies will fall in
We'll then decide on who's to rise upon it
To wage a war or capture more of your things
The red, the white, the blue tonight is calling

And I'll be damned if I'm naïve
And I'll be damned if I don't bleed
I'm not an angel or a thief
But I am
A young American beast

And I'll be damned if I'm naïve
And I'll be damned if I don't bleed
I'm not an angel or a thief
But I am
A young American beast

Oh I am
A young American beast
Oh I am
A young American beast

Young American Beast

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

I let my hair grow wild
I danced around this burning circle
All the while
Yeah, there's a war outside

I let my face grow long
I danced around this burning cinder
On the lawn
Yet there's a war begun

Said I'm a wanted man
I built a wall of flame
Returning on my way
towards a promised land

Until the break of day
We dance around the same illusions
I don't care if there's a war out there

Because we're all inside
We're in the madness of our mind
Still in the madness of our mind
Oh in the madness of our minds
We spin around in circles, now

I let my face grow long
I danced around this burning circle
On the lawn
Yet there's a war begun

And I'm a wanted man
I built a wall of flame
Returning on my way
towards a promised land

Until the break of day
We dance around the same illusions
I don't care if there's a war out there

Because we're all inside
We're in the madness of our mind
Still in the madness of our mind
Oh in the madness of our minds
We spin around in circles, now

Lyrics:

They waited for the war
To see what life was for
Surprise, surprise

They waded off with it
Lit the desert wind
A pyre of fire

An agent of the moon
Kept the world in tune
Arise, arise

The battle's won within
Revolutions end
Defy, to find

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Do what you want
Say what you like

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Do what you want
Say what you like

The symbol of the wall
Sells a million more
It's a lie, a lie

Their faces on the page
Sentimental rage
Arrive, survive

An agent of the moon
Kept the world in tune
Arise, arise

The battle's won within
Revolutions end
Defy, to find

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Do what you want
Say what you like

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Do what you want
Say what you like

Don't really bother me
Don't really bother me

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Don't really bother me

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me

Mindless Generation

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

Lay down your life
Don't fear the reaper
There's other lives to live

Wait on your time
Your eyes will reach her
There in the light
Of arresting peace

So I made a sad song
But it didn't take long
Ran right through my brain
But it didn't change much
When the morning came up
More lives gone in vain

Swallow your pride
Choke on the reefer
There's other mounds to dig

Wait on your time
Your eyes will reach her
There in the light
Of arresting peace

So I made a sad song
But it didn't take long
Ran right through my brain
But it didn't change much
When the morning came up
More lives gone in vain
