CES SOUCIS QUI NOUS FRONCENT ET
CES SOUS QUI NOUS DÉPENSENT
ÉLEPHANTS SANS DÉFENSES
BARBELÉS DANS LES RONCES

CES CLOUS QUI NOUS ENFONCENT ET
CES TRISTESSES D’ENFANCE
TOUT QUI NOUS SCIE LA BRANCHE
ET TOI QUI FAIT LA TRONCHE
LÉGITIME DÉFONCE 

CES CHIENS QUI NOUS DÉNONCENT ET
CES CHARTERS EN PARTANCE
L’ÉTAT DE NOS FINANCES ET
QUELQUES LATES EN QUINQUONCE
LÉGITIME DÉFONCE

CES SOURIS QUI NOUS RONGENT
CES DETTES QUI NOUS ÉPONGENT
CE RAVIN QUI NOUS LONGE
ET NOS NEZ QUI S’ALLONGENT

CES COUPS QUI NOUS SEMONCENT
CES CHIENS QUI NOUS BALANCENT
CES TOMBÉS POUR LA FRANCE ET
LE TEMPS QUI FONCE ALPHONSE

LEGITIME DEFONCE (lyrics)

LOVE ME
OR JUST YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME
EVEN IF IT'S PHONY
WHO CARES

TELL ME YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT ME
SHOULD IT BE FOR MONEY
IT'S ONLY FAIR

TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO HEAR
OH BABY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LIE TO ME
LIE TO ME

PROMISE YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE ME
AND THEN JUST A KISS
BEFORE I SET YOU FREE

TELL ME I'M YOUR ONE AND ONLY
OH BABY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LIE TO ME
LIE TO ME

DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE TRUTH NOW
JUST WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE OOOOOOOOO'S

TELL ME I'M THE FIRST ONE THE LAST ONE
SECOND TO NONE
NO SECOND CONSUL IN ROME

LIE TO ME
PLEASE I BEG YOU ON MY KNEES
LIE TO ME

LIE TO ME (lyrics)

I WISH I WAS YOUR CEILING
SO I COULD LOOK OVER YOU
I WISH I WAS YOUR FLOOR
SO YOU WOULD WALK UPON ME
AND I WISH I WAS YOUR MAGIC BROOM 
TO SWEEP YOUR PAINS AWAY
AND I WISH I WAS YOUR BLOOD BABE
TO RUN INTO YOUR VEINS
AND I WISH I WAS YOUR PILLOW
SO YOU COULD DREAM UPON ME
AND I WISH I WAS YOUR HERO
SO YOU COULD DREAM ABOUT ME
AND I WISH I WAS THE DARK BABE
WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE DARK
AND I WISH I WAS THE CANDLELIGHT 
TO GUIDE YOU OUT
AND I WISH I WAS ANYTHING 
THAT COMES  CLOSE TO YOU
AND I WISH YOU WERE THE AIR BABE
SO I COULD BREATHE YOU IN
AND I WISH I WAS AMNESIA
WHEN YOU’RE NOT AROUND
AND I WISH I WAS ME
NEXT TIME IN TOWN
I WISH I WAS YOUR CEILING
SO I COULD LOOK OVER YOU
I WISH I WAS YOUR FLOOR
SO YOU WALK UPON ME
WISH I WAS



WISH I WAS (lyrics)

FEARS FOR DREAM

'strike two'

scotty: acoustic pearl export, epiphone casino, fender squire 3/4 bass. Just blowing off some steam, y'all. 

strike two

I used a phrase from a comment I received from Stars Mighty Fine as the title.
First, I see a chaotic array of tones, and then I try to create some kind of structure from that chaos. I think the process of composing is simply trying to control the song and sound with all my might.

We Control with All My Might (357)

They bend beneath the grammar of shapes,
their spines spelling out the circle’s weight,
the triangle’s sharp silence,
the unfinished mouth of the arc.
On the striped earth they move like broken metronomes,
measuring a rhythm only the sky remembers.
It is less a dance than a translation
flesh carrying the burden of thought
bodies turned into symbols,
symbols turned into prayer.

Jonesy

an older tune I cleaned up a bit
it is a tribute to actor, singer, dancer, artist, and author Russ Tamblyn, who turns 91 in December.

I wrote the song around the time I retired from my  medical career. So  along with references to  Russ and childhood memory, there are veiled allusions to this strange  new exciting but a bit unsettling life circumstance in the lyric.

As per Russ 
He danced and acted in Westside story  and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers most famously but was in a bunch of movies in the 50s and 60s.. and ....my favourite as a kid was the War of the Gargantuas, which  for Russ was a creative low point ..but  it got him to Japan
opening clips from WotG...the middle and end clips from his movie Highschool Confidential



PS The line in the last verse Words stuck in my throat..lifted from the song The Words Get Stuck in My Throat From the movie War of the Gargantuas...sung by the wonderful Kipp Hamilton who has to contend with a Gargantua groupie..dont worry she survived....clip of the song in the movie is here

Devo did a cover of it years later


Russ Tamblyn

I'll get a Tokyo life                             
Say some words off the script          
Monsters in play                                
Career gone adrift                               
I can make it in spite                          
Of the way they dub my lines              

I'll sail to the East
Maybe take me a bride
Dance out regret
Act up with pride
Let me do it 
Let me do it
Let me do it brother, what do you say?
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day

I wanna be cool
I’d like to be strong
A fighter who dances
A singer of songs
Add some rhythm 
Put some muscle on these rhymes 

The streets of the West
I'll be taking a side
Living forever 
This world’s opened wide
Let me do it
Let me do it
Let me do it, what do you say?
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day 

In 1970                                         
I saw him on the TV screen        
With those creatures, one             
brown, one green                         
My Gargantuan celluloid dream   

They said I could bail    
I’d much rather swim
Head above water
Life on a whim
I can make it in spite
Of their doubts and their goodbyes

Words stuck in my throat
What's left to say?
There's only myself
I can't stay away
Let me do it 
Let me do it
Permit me if I may
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day





Russ Tamblyn(the Ballad of the HotR)

Years ago, my brothers and I had spent several weeks getting my dad's house ready to sell after he had passed. I was in the realtor's office ready to sign the paper work when the prospective buyers asked why I wasn't buying the house I grew up in.  I said (not thinking) "Too many ghosts".  The realtor immediately jumped in and said, "he means memories" to which I smiled confirming the needed clarification:)  It does beg the question however, how many "ghosts" haunt our lives; bad decisions, fractured relationships, things we did or failed to do.  I have found hope and forgiveness in the Christian faith, others have found healing in the passing of time, others still carry a heavy burden of what could have been or should have been.  Peter explores the theme in poignant verse to Seagull's quixotic soundtrack.  I am honored to  contribute a few colors to the tapestry;)

Ghost of a Sense:

Yes, I know you.
I can feel your presence.
I can touch you, smell you.
I see you not by sight of eye
And yet I ken that you are I
That vespered wraith that writhes within
To test my faith, try my sin
Push the bounds to cause offence
A moral, soul thing, ghost of a sense recalls myself, so well defined
Entrenched, walls behind, built so sound of dust that crowned the pity, falling soft amiss,
Deep inside the tears I cry as here I find my self-abyss.

Whispers bringing shadows, filled of secrets therein held,
Memories, morose, piece me still, to wear in time, my wasted face.
And now reside, cast aside, to forge and ever meld,
Of haunting, ringing echoes, that will alone their chime erased.

Ah! But you won't twist me, nor bind me fast, to the sandy doctrines of the misty past,
With its beards and staffs and crinkled testaments.
My future's sprinkled here present with your crass irrelevance and matters not that sat right there,
The blackest chasm in my simpling world so spare,
Where space and time have overspilled the leaking psyche of a crippled mind,
That barely copes, unfulfilled, a crooked, limpid moral health of broken shrines
That hopes to find ....
.......some worthwhile inner self.

Ghost of a Sence (Seagull, Peter, David)

Song from the rock opera Five Thousand Sasquatch

Cast of Characters:
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Middle Eastern instruments (Duf Drum, Daire drum, Darbuka, Riq, Qanun, Zurna horn, Ney flute, strings), female vocal sample, 'ululation' (high pitch yodel), and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Custom fretless 5-string bass 
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – saz, shakuhachi, and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — cymbals and Chinese percussion
Llanpsych - Fluffer for the keyboardist and key grip
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — traditional gourd-body sitar and mastering.

  Josh had the idea for doing a traditional Palestinian song, as he is an avid fan of their music. He wanted to raise awareness of this music and everyone in the band was immediately on board with this idea, and set about to make it happen. 
  Mark, who is an expert percussionist, learned a basic traditional Palestinian drum pattern, in a very authentic fashion. He laid it down, along with an Arabic sounding modal melody line portrayed by the quanun, which is a kind of zither. Josh found this pattern fascinating, and added his five string fretless bass to the it shortly after. Carl jumped in very shortly thereafter, and came up with some really amazing vocal melodies, as well as wonderfully prescient lyrics. He even learned more than several phrases in Arabic, which he sang in there, too. We were all very impressed by this, of course.
  JJ was next up, adding his magical, melodic, and exotic saz, shakuhachi, and synth to the mix. Ken threw in next, adding his perfectly timed brass and Chinese percussion to the mix, too. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen recorded his subtle, exotic, traditional sitar to the piece. 
  Once we had it all recorded, we turned it over to Mark for a mix, as the whole thing is really his baby. Stephen mastered it, though, as he is our resident professional producer.
  Our hope is that this song inspires you to dig into Palestinian music, and through that, you recognize the magic and the humanity of millions of Palestinian people who are suffering unimaginably right now. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

From Carl...
Music is our key to permanant peace on planet Earth in my view. If written thoughfully, it is our unimposing tool where we can share our different cultures like EC have done here to celebrate with our Palestinian friends stylistically the light of their music. I don't speak Arabic so I hope I don't offend anyone but I learned the Arabic as best as I could phonetically. It's done with the best of intentions . The eight Arabic lines are famous proverbs and show us how similarly all of our truths evolve from our hearts and souls

Peace and Love to everyone


Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Sisters and brothers
Daughters and Sons
We would give you food
But the road is blocked to sun
Proud Palestine
Brave brethren
Our hearts are with you
Our souls are weeping

Inhumane blockade of bread
Pains collective minds 
We want gone this dread
Let's find our kind
Please be strong
As we right this wrong
Hope prays that day will not be long

We pine with your God
To find a normal truth
Where your kids can grow and learn good youth
Sisters and Brothers
Daughters and Sons
We are with you Palestine
Sending love through song

The eye sees but the arm is short ( العين ترى والذراع قصيرة )

We are in the same boat ( نحن في نفس القارب )

Winds do not blow as the ships wish ( لا تهب الرياح كما تشاء السفن )

Being alone is better then being with someone bad (أن تكون وحيدا أفضل من أن تكون مع شخص سيء )

What is hidden is more then what has happened ( ما هو مخفي أكثر مما حدث )

Every problem has a solution ( لكل مشكلة حل )

Good intentions count for as much as good actions ( النوايا الحسنة لها نفس أهمية الأفعال الحسنة )

All is well that ends well ( كل شيء على ما يرام إذا انتهى بشكل جيد )

Oh My Darlin' Palestine (Eclectic Collective)

TENDER IS THE MEAT OR THE HEART           
BURNING IS THE HEAT OF FLESH
HEAVY IS THE BEAT LIGHTNINGS IN THE DARKNESS
AND ME FIFTY FIFTY SHEEP AND SHARK

SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN
TREMBLING IN MY BOOTS FOR FLESH
SPENDING ALL MY LIFE WHAT A FUCKING MESS
CRAWLING IN AND OUT THE FLAME

FLESH

FIFTY FIFTY MEAT AND SOUL
BABY FEED ME WITH YOUR BREAST
HUNGRY FOR MY LOAD OF FLESH
ALL WE WANT IS HAVE A BALL

SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN
TREMBLING IN MY BOOTS FOR FLESH
SPENDING ALL MY LIFE WHAT A SILLY MESS
CRAWLING IN AND OUT THE FLAME

FLESH


FLESH (lyrics)

STONED BABY I’M SO STONED
CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME
CUT IN TWO THROUGH THE BONE

WRONG WHERE DID I GO WRONG
YOUR STUFF WAS MUCH TOO STRONG
WHAT A HELL OF A BONG !

BABY I NEED A HAND TO PULL ME OUT OF THIS QUICKSAND I’M DROWNING IN
JUST LIKE A STONE
I’M GOING DOWN SLOW LOW  

STONED WITHOUT A WISHBONE
LOST IN A TIME ZONE
WISH I WAS MY OWN CLONE

BABY DON’T THROW ME OUT PLEASE LET ME IN 
YOUR COZY HEART YOUR THIGHS OF GOLD 
I NEED A SHOULDER TO LEAN ON 
BEFORE I FALL DOWN ON THE GROUND 

STONED BABY I’M SO STONED
CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME
CUT IN TWO THROUGH THE BONE

STONED (lyrics)


THINKING OF BEIJING YESTERDAY
DRIPPING FROM THE CEILING DROPS OF CLAY
MY BLOOD JUST LIKE MUD RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS
RIDING A DEAD MULE OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS

SLOW BRAIN

THE NEEDLES OF THE CLOCK HAVE STOPPED
TIME GOT STUCK
LIFE IS JUST A STATE OF SHOCK
GOOD LUCK BAD LUCK

SLOW BRAIN

STONED (lyrics)
