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

One Step at a Time
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
I can't give you up cold turkey
But I think I might cut down
I'll give up dreaming any more
All my dreams are leaving town

[verse]
If I stop a little bit
Each day in one more way
In time I think that I could quit
But maybe, not today

[verse]
When you're mad I won't react
I will simply walk away
No more fights, no more hurt
Won't hear what you say

[verse]
I won't try to talk to you
I won't risk things going bad
If I keep all my own thoughts
I might be a bit less sad

[verse]
When I see you 'round our place
I'll look down or turn my face
What I can't see, I can ignore
You cannot hurt me anymore

[verse]
Then one day without a warning
I'll realize that I am free
I won't know where you are
And it won't mean a thing to me

[pause]

[verse]
Then one day without a warning
I'll realize that I am free
I won't know where you are
And it won't mean a thing to me

No, not to me

Not to me.

[instrumental]

One Step at a Time (3)

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.
