The Note
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
It is just what you think
It is my message, a final kiss
No need to worry
Or take the blame
I don't feel pain or any shame
It is just what it is

[verse]
I don't want to stick around
And see everything go bad
I won't be feeling any better
I won't be moving any faster
I won't write a great new song
And bit by bit and day by day
all my systems 
will go wrong

[verse]
I don't have any complaints
Not for you, but some for me
Things were always pretty good
Always shelter, always food
I cared about you all, 
You did well, I'm satisfied
Now its time for the last call
And its for me to take the fall

And its for me to take the fall

[verse]
I could have done a little better
I could have tried a little harder
You can blame me if you missed out
Or if I wasn't always there
Don't you think I did not care
I did so then and I do now
Sometimes I am a little unaware
Get caught up in my own thing
But that's me, 
I take the blame

[verse]
It is just what you think
It is my message, a final kiss
No need to worry
Or take the blame
I don't feel pain or any shame
It is just what it is

[instrumental]

mea culpa, 
mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa

mea culpa, 
mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa

But that's me, I take the blame


mea culpa, 
mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa

mea culpa, 
mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa

But that's me, I take the blame


mea culpa, 
mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa

mea culpa, 
mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa

mea culpa, 
mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa

The Note (same note)

Claude and Me
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
I am talking to myself
There are answers that I seek
And I'm posing many questions
In themselves demand reflection

[verse]
What question should I ask?
Is the answer known to me?
Am I seeking confirmation?
Am I looking for attention?

[pause]

[verse]
The response will soon appear
In the words of many others
From searching vast archives
Built over countless lives

[chorus]
I rely on an assistant
It gathers these opinions
It does the work of millions
It summarizes facts

It's memory exact

[instrumental]

[verse]
These questions lead to more
We begin our interaction
I ask in cryptic prose
And wait for a reaction

[verse]
The responses end in questions
And I wonder who is who
Was it me that had the question
It now seems that is was you

[pause]

[verse]
I know I run the show
I can stop at any time
This is not like an addiction
The control is always mine

[verse]
But the temptation is immense
I feel I must respond
I let it know I've tried
But a new question is implied

[chorus]
I rely on an assistant
It gathers these opinions
It does the work of millions
It summarizes facts

It's memory exact

[instrumental]

[verse]
I can stop at any time

I can stop at any time

[outro]

Claude and Me

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.
