Some Island

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

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
With less becoming more
And more done by just a few
Will there be any place left
For the likes of me and you

[verse]
A few people with great power
and maybe fewer with great knowledge
will do all that is needed
You won't need to go to college

[verse]
You can go out to your garden
and putter around all day
Spend time on not a lot
watching your life going away

[chorus]
That is all that I see
Do you want to stick around
Or maybe come with me
We never will be found

[instrumental]

[verse]
You will not need a family
Children we won't need
Just more mouths we'd have to feed
All decisions ruled by greed

[verse]
In the end only a few
They will be lords of all they see
We exist to serve their pleasure
And to make their tea

[verse]
We will be bread with just one aim
Bread for beauty and for lust
Or those with servile brains
Who Lords know that they can trust

[chorus]
That is all that I see
Do you want to stick around
Or maybe come with me
We never will be found

[instrumental]

That is all that I see
Do you want to stick around
Or maybe come with me
We never will be found

In the end only a few
They will be lords of all they see
We exist to serve their pleasure
And to make their tea

And to make their tea

And to make their tea

[outro]

And to Make their Tea (rocksteady)

Little Birds

[intro]

[whistling]

[instrumental]

If I had nothing more to do 
and I had nowhere else to be
I would spend my time with you
and we could go and climb a tree

We could be so very happy
like little birds sitting up there
We could chirp our little songs
and would not really care

[chorus]
If only we could be
If only we could be
Just little birds up on a tree
and not a thing like you and me

You could whistle your own song
and I would whistle mine
What ever could go wrong
We'd be happy all the time

I would share my worms with you
and you would share your seeds with me
We could build a little nest
and raise a family

[chorus]
If only we could be
If only we could be
Just little birds up on a tree
and not a thing like you and me

If we ever saw a cat
We would laugh and tip our hats
We'd be always very high
And we know that cats can't fly

We'd have parties all the time
We would drink a little wine
When morning came around
The world would be so very fine

[chorus]
If only we could be
If only we could be
Just little birds up on a tree
and not a thing like you and me

[instrumental]

[outro]

I Only
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

There's not a thing I can do
At every turn there's you
Every place that I go
I see you and I know

How could it ever be true
How can it be I lost you
I look around and I see
All those things that could be

But they are no longer real
Things that I only feel
I know they will never be
But you are inside of me

[chorus]
Was not up to me
Not a thing I could do
You have to believe
I only love you

[instrumental]

There was a time when we knew
You and me, me and you
We were always together
Rain or shine, any weather

I don't know about you
How was it that things changed
You were just standing there
Saying you did not care

I could not believe
How could it go right by me
How could I not tell
You were all I could see

[chorus]
Was not up to me
Not a thing I could do
You have to believe
I only love you

[instrumental]

[chorus]
Was not up to me
Not a thing I could do
You have to believe
I only love you

Not a thing I could do
I only love you

I only love you

[outro]

I Only (R1)

You have to believe
I only love you

Not a thing I could do
I only love you

I only love you

I Only (R3)

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.
