Good Enough

You and Me (resigned)
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

Why is it like this, when it could be like that
Is it just you and me, or are we all just as bad

We go to the market
Then we go to the store
We can't get enough
We want to buy so much more
For you and me

We get a new car
And we buy a new house
We ride on the train
so we can sit at the bar
Not you and me

In the winter a plane
We vacation in Spain
But we stay in the plains
Where we know it will rain
On you and me

In the winter a plane
We vacation in Spain
But we stay in the plains
Where we know it will rain
On you and me

Is it always a game, for you and me
Is it ever the place, that we wanted to see
Is it ever the way, that we wanted to be
Are we ever ashamed, us, you and me

[guitar solo]

We have beautiful kids
They go to good schools
They end up on the street
We were always the fools
Yes, you and me

We should have been home
But we left them alone
They are out on their own
They won't answer the phone
From you and me

We start drinking at 10
Under the table by 3
We spend our days in a haze
We dream of better days
Same you and me

Who can you blame, but you and me
Who is going insane, but you and me

[guitar solo]

Who can you blame, but you and me
Who is going insane, but you and me

[guitar solo]

We have beautiful kids
They go to good schools
They end up on the street
We were always the fools
Yes, you and me

Who can you blame, but you and me
Who is going insane, but you and me

A Matter of Scale (short)
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

Could I be small
Smaller than me
Could I be less
Could I not be

Would you come too
Would you stay near
Share my dreams
and then disappear

A Matter of Scale
That's all it is
A Matter of Scale
Give me a kiss

What if I could 
somehow be
so very small, 
too small to see
What would I have 
the time of day
Would you still care, 
come out to play
Or would that change 
a new point of view
and would you say 
that I am not true

A Matter of Scale
That's all it is
A Matter of Scale
Give me a kiss

What if I could 
somehow be
so very small, 
too small to see

come out to play
Or would that change 
a new point of view
and would you say 
that I am not true

A Matter of Scale
That's all it is
A Matter of Scale
Give me a kiss

Is size all that we are
Is size the only measure
When we are small
or not at all
Is our life
no more a treasure

A Matter of Scale
That's all it is
A Matter of Scale
Give me a kiss

Why Not Me (bravo Ms. Ai)

A Knife or a Kiss
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

He is walking fast your way
and you can guess what's on his mind
There is nothing you can do
You can not put him behind

It's a walk with bad intent
He wants you to pay up
He is here for the rent
and he won't take half a cup

You are paying for past crimes
and you're paying for new thrills
They have taken every dime
and you still can't pay the bill

So you offer up your body
though it doesn't look too good
You offer up your service
and what he wants is understood

This life is all you've got
and a living hell it is
The choice has always been
take a knife or give a kiss

[instrumental]

When he's gone you just don't care
It always ends the same
You are in the same nowhere
In a place where there's no shame

You would end it all right now
if you could get up off the floor
But you don't care anyhow
and always want a little more

This life is all you've got
and a living hell it is
The choice has always been
take a knife or give a kiss

[instrumental]

When he's gone you just don't care
It always ends the same
You are in the same nowhere
In a place where there's no shame

You would end it all right now

But you don't care anyhow
and always want a little more

This life is all you've got
and a living hell it is
The choice has always been
take a knife or give a kiss

Time Is the Issue
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

When in time I find I'm lost
all goes by at such a cost
Every day a stronger dose
just the same or much too close

Each time I verify
once again I find the lie
All of time is passing by
All our dreams are going to die

[bridge]

Just a little bit more time
If I had just one more day
That is all I ever hear
That is all I ever say

[chorus]
Time is life and life is time
that is all there ever is
What do we ever hope to find
It is not eternal bliss

[instrumental]

My dreams are always false
they give me no new hope
They are guesses in disguise
I may never get the prize

Why do it once again?
What do I hope to find?
What do I hope to gain?
when the truth is never kind

[bridge]

Just a little bit more time
If I had just one more day
That is all I ever hear
That is all I ever say

[chorus]
Time is life and life is time
that is all there ever is
What do we ever hope to find
It is not eternal bliss

[instrumental]

time was never on our side
time flies while all else dies
time is laughing at your struggles
feels nothing while you cry

was there any time to gain
could there have been less pain
could our world have been better
did I write it in a letter

[bridge]

Just a little bit more time
If I had just one more day
That is all I ever hear
That is all I ever say

[chorus]
Time is life and life is time
that is all there ever is
What do we ever hope to find
It is not eternal bliss

[instrumental]

[outro]
Just a little bit more time
If I had just one more day
That is all I ever hear
That is all I ever say

That is all I ever say

That is all I ever say

[instrumental]


Time Is the Issue (C1)

Songs Without a Reason
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

Songs without a point
Songs without a reason
There is no meaning in the words
You don't know what you have heard

Just some sound, a melody
Could be birds up on a tree
They don't mean a thing to you
Did not mean a thing to me

I wrote them down as they appeared
The words straight from far behind
Things buried in my mind
Words that seemed to rhyme

[instrumental]

I reed them when I'm done
and try to find meaning, an excuse
Some reason that I wrote
All lies, it is no use

I was hoping to find feeling
To find a trace of you
I was hoping that by chance
I would find our old romance

Songs without a point
Songs without a reason
There is no meaning in the words
You don't know what you have heard

[instrumental]

I reed them when I'm done
and try to find meaning, an excuse
Some reason that I wrote
All lies, it is no use

I was hoping to find feeling
To find a trace of you

Songs without a point
Songs without a reason
There is no meaning in the words
You don't know what you have heard

Songs Without a Reason

Is that a note from Casanova?
     Yes, it’s touching—in a way
Don’t let him turn your pretty head around
     What am I supposed to say?


Say, “Thank you for your pretty words
“Though I’ve heard them all before”
“I appreciate your overtures
“But I’m already spoken for”

     But I’m not in love with anyone 
     What if he asks me for a name?
     Should I say it’s Quasimodo
     And he lives in Notre Dame?

Shun that knuckle-dragging lumberjack
He probably doesn’t brush his chops
I could convince him to forget you
With a sack of lollipops 

     I’d rather live beside a lumberjack 
     Built of feisty flesh and bone
     Than a cynical, old woman
     With a bloodless heart of stone 

I’ve been around this world a whole lot longer than you
I've had my ups and downs and learned a thing or two
I had some breaks, I've made mistakes
And now I'm warning you:

Never love, it’s just a hustle 
Never give your heart away
Nothing's free in this old world
And when you love, you pay

Oh, I may be old and cynical
With a soul as cold as ice
But we must abide the loneliness 
When we live for what we do

And we live for what we do

Reminisce – Barry Kernachan

“Domination” is a Progressive Post-Rock track produced by Live On band and it is defined as control or power over somebody or something, especially in an unpleasant way. The dominant people have been using propaganda, pop culture and broadcast services to control us, so it is time to break free and become the outcasts of these dummy nations!

Domination

Steady Hold

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
