Wait Till Three
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

What can I do, about nothing at all
What can I do, while I, sit on the wall
My world is divided, I remain undecided
I sit here in silence and wait for the fall

So much I could do, but I can't find my shoe
I have one on my left foot, the right one is gone
I look at the floor, can't get to the door
Then I stop, to answer the phone

It was no one I knew, 
I don't know why they called
They asked for somebody, I just said "who?"
They hung up, 
that is all

[instrumental]

So what was I doing? Looking for my shoe
I don't care anymore, I am tired and bored
I could watch TV, nothing I care to see
I'll lay down, skip lunch, and get up at three

What can I do, about nothing at all
What can I do, while I, sit on the wall
My world is divided, I remain undecided
I sit here in silence and wait for the fall


sit here in silence and wait for the fall

I was waiting for you,
I was hoping you'd call
What I heard was not you, I don't care who it was
They hung up,
That is all

sit here in silence and wait for the fall

The End of the Race
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey


[intro]

[instrumental]

We have come, to a sad place
Where no one can share a hope
and no one can raise their face
Each one barely copes

We go to work and go to sleep
So many promises to keep
Our children look at us
and their eyes 
and their eyes
their eyes they see too deep

People struggle to keep up
Some are holding out a cup
Some a laying on the steps
No longer able to get up

We were all consumed by greed
Wanted more than all our needs
While we fought for the last piece
We all died from the disease

All our dreams have now grown old
Hot days are turning cold
All the lies are now the same
All the truth is told in vain

[instrumental]

No longer able to get up

All our dreams have now grown old
Hot days are turning cold
All the lies are now the same

Don't Think Twice
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey


There are monsters on the streets
You don't know who you will meet
You cannot afford a smile
You may have to run for miles

Black masks will track you down
They will run you to the ground
You can't hope to get away
And you never will be found

-- / --

No choice but stand quite still
The time has come, 
to stand your ground
It's time to chamber one more round
Barely move, 
don't make a sound
Don't think twice 
and put them down

[instrumental]

Barely move, 
don't make a sound
Don't think twice 
and put them down

Don't think twice and put them down

and put them down
and put them down

Don't Think Twice

What I Never Knew
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

A mind that makes verse
It works in reverse
Ideas come later
The words, they come first

I write the words down
Soon others will follow
Bit by bit on the verge
The patterns emerge

If I just let it go
the words, they will flow
I patch them together
The why, I don't know

But in time it all stops
and I have to decide
Does it all have a meaning
Something dark deep inside

[instrumental]

Mr. Suno he takes them
The music appears
Ms. Ai sings the song
And not often wrong

I am always surprised
When I hear what I meant
What I never knew
And I play it for you

[instrumental]

What I Never Knew  (caribbean)

The Blur
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

We lay back on our chairs
Take the sun, breathe the air
We relax on the deck
Have a meal with friends
It will never end

but bit by bit time goes by
drop by drop tears will dry
bit by bit the pain dies
and what we feel now, 
is not regret at all

It's a blur that clouds our mind
our vision almost gone
time has not been very kind
so few thoughts that we now own

[instrumental]

A drink in our hand
Nice hats for the sun
The talk is the same
We plan our next day
And decide who to blame

We lay back on our chairs
Take the sun, breathe the air
We relax on the deck
Have a meal with friends
It will never end

[instrumental]

Autumn in the Springtime  (cy7c samba)
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[piano intro]

When you left, the seasons changed
My whole world was rearranged
No more sun, the air is chill
The night is standing still

When you left, autumn in your place
Brown and red is all there is
Green and gold will skip a beat
All new life is on retreat

I see it on my face
My eyes stare back at me
The love that used to shine
Gray, now takes it's place

[pre-chorus]
I cannot move, into the summer
I find myself, trapped in the fall
No bright colors, no warm nights
No happiness at all

[chorus]
Autumn in the springtime
and summer never more
things are so much colder
never like they were before

Autumn in the springtime
and summer never more
things are so much colder
never like they were before

[01:56][instrumental][02:30]

Autumn in the springtime
and summer never more
things are so much colder
never like they were before

Autumn in the springtime
and summer never more
things are so much colder
never like they were before

You Can't Fix the Weather
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

If you had one thing
and I had another
and we both worked together
and we both helped each other

We could get something done
and it would be much more fun
We would get a lot further
But you can't fix the weather

You can't fix the weather
You can't bring back bees
Everything that was nice
It's all gone like the ice

[instrumental]

So why do we bother
Why start at all 
It's the middle of winter
It still feels like the fall

I have to think where we'll be
Will there be any trees
It is all such a bummer
I am dreading the summer

You can't fix the weather
The forests are gone
Everything that was nice
It's all gone like the ice

[instrumental]

So pour me one more drink
I want to hear the stuff clink
It could be the last time
With the world on the brink

You can't fix the weather
You can't bring back bees
Everything that was nice
It's all gone like the ice

"Bye bye"

bbaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

You can't fix the weather
You can't bring back bees
Everything that was nice
It's all gone like the ice

"Bye bye"


[outro]

You Can't Fix the Weather

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.

You Can't Fix the Weather
