Chupacabra

In the night 
under the moon
You better run 
and get home soon

Abracadabra Abracadabra 
Here comes the chupacabra

Don't stay late
tell him to wait
You better go
Don't hesitate

Abracadabra Abracadabra 
Here comes the chupacabra

[instrumental]

It knows you're there
It loves your hair
It knows your smell
Can always tell

You are its kind
Can find you blind
It's your best friend
Lives in your mind

Abracadabra Abracadabra 
Pocas palabras
Here comes the chupacabra

In the night 
under the moon
You better run 
and get home soon

Abracadabra Abracadabra 
Here comes the chupacabra

The Blur
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

We lay back on our chairs
Take the sun, breathe the air
We relax on the deck
Have a meal with friends
It will never end

but bit by bit time goes by
drop by drop tears will dry
bit by bit the pain dies
and what we feel now, 
is not regret at all

It's a blur that clouds our mind
our vision almost gone
time has not been very kind
so few thoughts that we now own

[instrumental]

A drink in our hand
Nice hats for the sun
The talk is the same
We plan our next day
And decide who to blame

We lay back on our chairs
Take the sun, breathe the air
We relax on the deck
Have a meal with friends
It will never end

[instrumental]

Autumn in the Springtime  (cy7c samba)
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[piano intro]

When you left, the seasons changed
My whole world was rearranged
No more sun, the air is chill
The night is standing still

When you left, autumn in your place
Brown and red is all there is
Green and gold will skip a beat
All new life is on retreat

I see it on my face
My eyes stare back at me
The love that used to shine
Gray, now takes it's place

[pre-chorus]
I cannot move, into the summer
I find myself, trapped in the fall
No bright colors, no warm nights
No happiness at all

[chorus]
Autumn in the springtime
and summer never more
things are so much colder
never like they were before

Autumn in the springtime
and summer never more
things are so much colder
never like they were before

[01:56][instrumental][02:30]

Autumn in the springtime
and summer never more
things are so much colder
never like they were before

Autumn in the springtime
and summer never more
things are so much colder
never like they were before

A Mind that Makes Verse
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey



A mind that makes verse
It works in reverse
Ideas come later
The words, they come first

I write the words down
Soon others will follow
By bit on the verge
The patterns emerge

If I just let it go
the words, they will flow
I patch them together
The why, I don't know

But in time it all stops
And I have to decide
Does it all have a meaning
Something dark deep inside

-- / --

Mr. Suno he takes them
The music appears
Ms. Ai sings the song
And not often wrong

I am always surprised
When I hear what I meant
What I never knew
And I play it for you

-- / --

Mr. Suno he takes them
The music appears
Ms. Ai sings the song

I am always surprised
When I hear what I meant

On the River to the Lake
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

A drive along the river
We float our raft down to the lake 
The water's warm and slow 
Bugs and frogs dart in our wake

We beach out on the island
Spread out blankets on the sand
We talk a little but fall asleep
The sun sets before we stand

In a hurry we pack up
Back in the water floating down
In the dark we hit a log
You never would be found

[chorus]
I think I might go drifting
In the middle of the night
The water is rough, it is now winter
I will soon be out of sight

[instrumental]

I cannot forget that night
The panic in the dark
I can't get near the water
I can't go to a park

A splash, then total silence
Just me screaming, trying to see
I cannot sleep at night
This might be how it will be

More and more each passing day
I see I was to blame
More and more another night
I am destroyed by the shame

[chorus]
I think I might go drifting
In the middle of the night
The water is rough, it is now winter
I will soon be out of sight

[instrumental]

[chorus]
That summer wears me down
I cannot stand it anymore
All I do is dream of drifting
Drift all the way to nevermore

I think I might go drifting
In the middle of the night
The water is rough, it is now winter
I will soon be out of sight

I think I might go drifting
In the middle of the night
The water is rough, it is now winter
I will soon be out of sight

You Can't Fix the Weather
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

If you had one thing
and I had another
and we both worked together
and we both helped each other

We could get something done
and it would be much more fun
We would get a lot further
But you can't fix the weather

You can't fix the weather
You can't bring back bees
Everything that was nice
It's all gone like the ice

[instrumental]

So why do we bother
Why start at all 
It's the middle of winter
It still feels like the fall

I have to think where we'll be
Will there be any trees
It is all such a bummer
I am dreading the summer

You can't fix the weather
The forests are gone
Everything that was nice
It's all gone like the ice

[instrumental]

So pour me one more drink
I want to hear the stuff clink
It could be the last time
With the world on the brink

You can't fix the weather
You can't bring back bees
Everything that was nice
It's all gone like the ice

"Bye bye"

bbaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

You can't fix the weather
You can't bring back bees
Everything that was nice
It's all gone like the ice

"Bye bye"

If You Were My Pet
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[guitar solo]

If you were my pet
If you stayed out all night
and came back home wet
It would be alright

If you were my pet
I would understand
Sometimes you would roam
But you'd always come home

[guitar solo]

If you were my pet
I'd give you a bath
I'd  get you some food
and treat you real good

If you were my pet
and I was your man
I would stand by your side
and give you a hand

You'd sleep in my bed
and I'd keep you warm
I'd take off your britches
and scratch all your itches

We would go to the beach
and play in the waves
You would be on a leash
and stay within reach

I know you are wild
and would take off your clothes
But you are not a child
You can wipe your own nose

[guitar solo]

If you were my pet
One day you'd be old
I would keep you around
would not let you down

That is how it should be
It is the right way
between you and me
Won't you please stay

Won't you please stay
stay here by my side
and be my pet
till the day that we die

[guitar solo]

[outro]

Won't you please stay
stay here by my side
and be my pet
till the day that we die

Hoping for Spring
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

One morning I woke, I opened my eyes, Whatever I ate, the coffee I drank, It all tasted flat
I put it all down, walked out of town, and that was that


The music I played, the songs that I loved, just so much noise
Whatever I heard, I was one of the herd, I had no choice


All of my dreams, my fabulous schemes, lost in a fog
I was not just tired, or bored with my job, I care about nothing, 
except my dog

I was all empty, once I had plenty, but now I'm scared
All of my life, the constant strife, It took me nowhere

I need to stop, abandon it all, try  a new thing
So here I go, taking a chance, 
hoping for spring

Hoping for Spring (very jazz)

Hoping for Spring (vegas)

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.
