Need Some Time
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

I curse time when I am waiting
and can't find it when I need it
Time is great when you have lots
And much too short when you have not

I am afraid of time
It comes at you unwanted
It never stops to talk
It runs, it never walks

[instrumental]

Our time seems to have passed
I thought that it would last
The good times slip away
Like you, not meant to stay

I thought we needed time
That it all would work out fine
But time we did not share
You had yours and I had mine

[chorus]
Time is, it just is
I don't know how to describe it
It flows, could be a stream
It floats as in a dream

I am afraid of time
It comes at you unwanted
It never stops to talk
It runs, it never walks

[instrumental]

You put yours in a box
You took the keys to all the locks
You did not want to give me any
You said that I'd had many

That I had run out of time
That I had all I deserved
You had had enough of mine
Much too often crossed the line

[chorus]
Time is, it just is
I don't know how to describe it
It flows, could be a stream
It floats as in a dream

I am afraid of time
It comes at you unwanted
It never stops to talk
It runs, it never walks

[instrumental]

I curse time when I am waiting
and can't find it when I need it
Time is great when you have lots
And much too short when you have not

I am afraid of time
It comes at you unwanted
It never stops to talk
It runs, it never walks

What is Success
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I want to lay around all day
watch TV, go out to play
I want to read the greatest books,
eat great food, it tastes so good.

For you to rave about my looks,
ride in my car, Jag on the hood
I want to work on my own stuff
but I don't know, is that enough?

Can I succeed if it's just me?
When I get done, no one to see
I want to show what I have done
I want the world to know I've won

[instrumental]

I want peace and solitude
or maybe friends in multitudes
I want to party all night long
and for you to sing my song

I want others to obey, 
to bow down, do what I say
Or maybe one to guide my day,
set me free, show me the way

What makes me so glad today
is it the same some other day?
The kind of world that's good for me,
is it the same for two or three?

[instrumental]

I'd like to give it all away
Live on the beach, no place to stay
I'd like to swim all night and day
Ride on a shark and go away

I'd like to give it all away
Live on the beach, no place to stay
I'd like to swim all night and day
Ride on a shark and go away

I'd like to go away

I'd like to go away

[instrumental]

She Came
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

She came
With doom on her mind
She came
It's the end of our kind

She came
She sweeps through our hordes
She mingles with crowds
She strikes fatal chords
Crying chorus out loud

[instrumental]

She came
She does not tread lightly
We feel the deep blows
The dead we count nightly
Extinction she knows

She moves
She floats in the air
She moves
All at once everywhere

[instrumental]

She came
With doom on her mind
She came
It's the end of our kind

She went
With no smile on her face
She went
And, for now, not a trace

She went
With no smile on her face

It's the end of our race

She went
And, for now, not a trace

[instrumental]

It's the end of our race

We Could Have Had Enough
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

We could have had enough
We kept on eating baby
and now, we weigh too much

We could have had enough
We kept on smoking baby
and now, we have a cough

We could have had enough
We kept on shopping baby
and now, we have too much

We could have had enough
We kept on killing baby
and now, their ain't no such

[instrumental]

We could have had enough
We kept on wasting baby
and now, things are getting rough

We could have had enough
We kept on burning baby
and now, the world's too hot to touch

We could have had enough
We kept on burning baby
and now, the world's too cold to bear

We could have had enough
We kept on going nowhere
and now, we ain't there

we ain't there

we ain't there

[instrumental]

[outro]

We Could Have Had Enough

### We All Are
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

My friends are narcissistic
I am too, but realistic
What I believe for me is true
But not so much for you and you

I don't answer when you call
That is cause I'm autistic
Or maybe I'm just busy
And I may only be artistic

Some say they see wild things
And that they think they are psychotic
I don't think they're wild as mine
and I just think that I'm creative

[bridge]

Some  are convinced they are neurotic
And clean their house like crazy
Some do not clean at all
They are probably just lazy

[instrumental]

Some don't pay attention
They only care about themselves
Some need constant action
They can't get no satisfaction

If you want pity and compassion
You need to have depression
Don't keep it up too long
You may trigger a recession

Some say they're on a spectrum
Which spectrum, I don't know
Some are clearly better
That's where I want to go

[bridge]

Which crazy clearly matters
Some are now in style
If you are the usual crazy
You may have to wait a while

It is sure to come in fashion
Just post it to the book
You know which book I mean
Where you fake the way you look

All this shit makes me depressed
And may be self-destructive
But the logic that they use
It all just seems reductive

[instrumental]

I'm going to take a nap
I won't be here when I wake 
Don't tell me no more shit
Or I'll walk into a lake

I won't be here when I wake 

I won't be here when I wake 

I won't be here when I wake 

[outro]

Only Sand
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I want only to sand
to sand on and on
to sand with my hands
till the roughness is gone

To make stains go away
and for the beauty to stay
To make everything smooth
and the whole world to shine
I want only to sand
one stroke at a time

[instrumental]

I want only to sand
I want to sand what I feel
I want to sand with my heart
and make all my dreams real

Sanding lasts all day long
and to sand I stay strong
Sanding is all that I am,
when I sand I'm not wrong
But when the sanding is done
to the dust I'll belong

[instrumental]

I want only to sand
to sand on and on
to sand with my hands
till the roughness is gone

But when the sanding is done
to the dust I'll belong

to the dust I'll belong

[instrumental]

Take a Stand
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

Every day in every town
I see neighbors hawled away
Things have changed, my mind has too
I now feel the same as you

We cannot let this crime go on
This is not who we should be
This is not what we believed
It is up to you and me

There is treason in the air
Revolution close at hand
Our leaders running scared
Up to us to take a stand

There is treason in the air
Revolution close at hand
Our leaders running scared
Up to us to take a stand

[instrumental]

I no longer have a hope
I no longer have the time
The end is close, no time to lie
I can't afford to say I'm fine

At one time the thing to do
We all replied in the same way
I said I'm fine and you did too
No point in "How are you?"

We must admit that we are scared
That we no longer trust
That we are ready for a change
And we will all do what we must

We must admit that we are scared
That we no longer trust
That we are ready for a change
And we will all do what we must

[instrumental]

Every day in every town
I see neighbors hawled away
Things have changed, my mind has too
I now feel the same as you

We cannot let this crime go on
This is not who we should be
This is not what we believed
It is up to you and me

There is treason in the air
Revolution close at hand
Our leaders running scared
Up to us to take a stand

There is treason in the air
Revolution close at hand
Our leaders running scared
Up to us to take a stand

[instrumental]

Take a stand
Lend a hand
It is our land

Take a stand
Take a stand

[instrumental]

Take a Stand

More Than a Haircut
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I was losing all my hair
I watched it fall away
I remained glued to the chair
and I let her have her way

I don't know what made me do it
It wasn't like I cared
But I saw her through the window
She was perfect standing there

She gave me the right smile
I had not had one for a while
I thought I'd take a chance
I'm in the market for romance

[instrumental]

I was losing all my hair
I watched it fall away
I remained glued to the chair
and I let her have her way

For a while I heard a buzz
after that a snip snip snip
I did not want to make a fuss
though my ear had been clipped

[bridge]

She kept on going without pause
There was a razor in her hand
All around me the pool grew
From that chair I would not stand

[instrumental]

oohhhhhhh noooooooh, I would not stand

I would not stand

There's No Need
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

The park is pretty in the fall
A slight chill in this brown world
Red leaves, a little green
A sign of things that once had been

Toil and schedules are all gone
not a thing for us to do
We sit, wait for the sun
our old lives are finally through

We go home and watch TV
wait for calls that will not come
We sit and stare, barely there
In this room that's not a home

It's so strange, we are not needed
There is no purpose to our lives
All the things that we once did
are not wanted, there's no need

[instrumental]

The world is now so strange
We stand in line and wait a while
our portion waits for us prepared
We no longer trade a smile

We rarely see this brand new breed
For us they have no need
Our kind will soon be gone
Hard to believe we once were one

Why bother, keep us alive
So many choose not to survive
We are only grist for the machine
Some entertain or keep things clean

We are fed, and sent to bed
We are like children, we exist
Our dreams, great aspirations
Have now faded in the mist

[instrumental]
