Too High to Fly
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

Cold minds in suits
apraising stares with no desire
Women, thin with perfect hair
all dressed in gray, black at night
the drinks, the talk, no truth at all
the nonchalance, they do not care
Their faces never see the light

The deals, always the next
The reptile smiles among the best
I show my hand, cannot afford
I miss the tone, the silent word
Averted glance, lost the chance
I miss a step, can't find the beat
Not for me, too fast a dance

[instrumental]

They think they are kind
I would not fit, I will not mind
Not quite the suit, uneven tan
They look at me, or maybe not
I am left behind, not forgot
I walk too slow, I look around
All gone, without a sound

Another world, I don't belong
I don't know how, when did I blink
When first did things go wrong
Not the school, not the car
I should have known, maybe I knew
There was no way I would go far
My limits set, I show the scar

I fade away, know when to stay
I have a spot, a role to play
Always the smile, the helping hand
I'll get the tea, was that the phone
I leave the room, leave them alone
Things to do, my space is clean
The bigger things are not for me

[instrumental]

Could I Be More
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

What can I do, can I help you?
Seen you before, 
Is it Ok
Could I be more?

Could I be more?

Could I be more?

[instrumental]

I look outside, a cloudy sky
People in crowds,  just passing by
Some look inside, I try to smile
They might come in and stay a while

[instrumental]

What can I do, can I help you?
Seen you before, 
Is it Ok
Would you like more?

[bridge]

He looks up, a little smile
Looks down, stares at his phone
Looks around, she is not here
A small frown, and he is gone

Could it be me, he's looking for
Could it be me, that he adores
Never a glance, am I not pretty
Never a chance, not even pity

oooh oooh 

oooh oooh 

Tomorrow comes, and here I am
This time it's her, sitting alone
This time it's her, holding the phone
I smile inside, too bad

too bad

[instrumental]

What can I do, can I help you?
Seen you before, 
Is it Ok
Could I be more?

It Never Was
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey


[instrumental]

It was mine
Mine alone
All there was
in the whole world my own

I had won
All for me
I could take
Every thing for free

[bridge]

This was not what I had wanted
This had never been my dream
I don't know how it started
I wish that it had never been

[instrumental]

We had shared,
all we had
Been prepared
For the good and the bad

We had loved
We had dreamed
Seen the world
As our own thing

[bridge]

This was not what I had wanted
This had never been my dream
I don't know how it started
I wish that it had never been

[instrumental] 

What went wrong
Dreams were sold
Spent our lives
Searching for gold

Then in time
What we shared
What each had
Was all that we cared

First the silence
Then the cold
Then the lawyers
And it all got sold

[bridge]

This was not what I had wanted
This had never been my dream
I don't know how it started
I wish that it had never been

Scratchings on a Wall
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

"Words are mightier than the sword"
Words coined by those who write
They believe this clear delusion
When there are no swords in sight

When you have said it all
and have nothing more in mind
Just a few words on a wall
is all you've left behind

words written there for nothing
with no meaning, for no cause
words that once had seemed unending
like water from a hose

[instrumental]

Today I wonder about things
Why did I write those words
Did I think the world would change
I have no power and less range

I could have said anything at all
More crap thrown at the wall
A wall inside my mind
A wall that I have stood behind

I thought that words were action
That writing had meant doing
But you can tell by no reaction
I got no satisfaction

[instrumental]

By you can tell by no reaction
I got no satisfaction

But you can tell by no reaction

Friends That Would Last
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey


[intro]

[instrumental]

Now separated 
by thousands of miles
Once in a while 
they share waning smiles

Friends from the past
Friends that would last
Each time less often
This may be the last

[instrumental]

We smile and we kid
Talk of things that we've done
And how we are feeling
And others now gone

And how long we may last
And remember the past
And what might have been
If only we'd seen

We smile and we leave
We will try to come back
But who knows
We are now losing track

[instrumental]

We knew that someday
We might go and might stay
We did not expect 
it would be today

We did not expect 
We did not expect 
it would be today

[instrumental]

Songs Without a Reason

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.
