Blue Cucumber 2019 Space

I,  I,  was  walking  down,  fifth  avenue  and  
I,  I,  couldn't  help  but,  run  into  you
I  could  not  help  but  notice  
your  fancy  blue  jeans
one  word  could  crush,  (crush) my  brand  new  dream
But  my,  my,  Swagger,  was  complete
and  the  drug  store  cowboys  had  already  gotten  to  me
I  could  not  help  but  notice,  your  fancy  blue  jeans
One  word  could  crush,  (crush) my  brand  new  dream..

5th Avenue

I know what you’re thinkin’, we don’t need no conversation anymore,
Let’s get out from down here, and head up to the second floor ahaa, Sweet!
I know what’s on your mind Hey!
Yeah, They say gettin' there is half the fun,
With my crew like this, 
Once the fun has begun,
Aw ya know, we ain't never done,
We ain't never what?
We ain't never done Heeey!
Yeah, break it down somethin'

Now get into the sauna, let the steam, penetrate your clothes, its gettin’ kind o' hot here, what should we do? Throw some coal on the open fire,
And the world is an oyster, and girls, you are the pearls, 
Some sediment of sweetness, so roll on downtown by my side awhaa,
Sweet!
I know what’s on your mind Hey, Yeah!
awhaa!, awhaa!
They say getting there is half the fun,
With cats like these, any o' these
Aw ya know,  Once it's a-begun, they ain't never done
They ain't never what?  They ain't never done!
Yeah!  Break 'em off somethin'
uhh, uhh, uhh,
Yeah

Song is dedicated to my first gf's brother..I like to jam this one with other people because it's easy to pick up and catchy?

Your sister don't love me no more (no more) 
She thrown me in the cold outside the door (outside the door)
Your sister don't love me (she don't love anybody)
She don't love anybody
Sing it now!
When I was old enough to cry, it's what I did now
Singin' when I was old enough to cry, it's what I did now

Marks Song v2

A truly zany 'Circus Fred Penner Funk' selection that is both cute and obnoxious...I could see it being on a kids show but not necessarily  😛😄

I am the octopus

This one here's a bubbly and effervescent test tube of time distillation, an ode to integrity, an utterance of a truth that still holds the water with which it was wistfully wrangled.

Where I'm Going To

Where I'm going To

Recorded late night waaay back whenever, my friend at the time, recorded some beat boxing then went to sleep. I made a song out of it :p

The guitar solo section is mostly 4ths and I remember at the time thinking 'Ya! 4ths!  Something really different!  Nobody ever does that!   lol, there's a reason for that.  It's like a middle finger suddenly springing up in the recording.  Which I think I was going for?   Nowadays I find it really jarring and am slightly pissed off that I did that. I no longer have the bedtracks for it however, so this is how it stays.

Girl, when I said I needed you, I wasn't playin' 'round.
Got my passport on file.
I'll be takin' a trip, on my way to see you.
And when I do, Oh!
Girl, my mind is made up. Still I ain't struttin' like no peacock, for
the chicken heads
Gimme’ one slice of bread, and I will make a sandwich
One you never seen before,
one with a beautiful head, 
Of lettuce, cherry tomato,
the havarti of my soul, and some mustard on parole.
Ninja in the west, is livin' off lemon zest.
I tried my best, now put me to the
test.
Pretty flowers, diamond daffodils, flamin' flamingoes,
and all those other skills.
My mind is more riddled than a puzzle,
a puzzle of a maggot sittin' in a garbage bag in the dream,
a dream I discarded long long ago,
a dream that made me insane

Cuckoo (feat. Vov Abraxas)

Cuckoo (feat.Vov Abraxas)

The  wind  will  whisper  things  to  me,  
when  I  play  my  guitar  I  feel  a  good  need,  
The  ocean  harbours  fish  in  the  deep  blue  sea,  
but  I  float  above  on  the  salty  breeze,  
Never  underwater  I’m  in  the  air,  
this  feelings  never  better  so  I  don’t  care,  
Yesterday  just  may  be  gone,  
but  if  ya  look  at  the  future  it  isn’t  so  long,  
But  don’t  you  fret  and  don’t  you  fray,  
focus  on  the  now  and  enjoy  your  stay,  
It  won’t  forever  never  always  be  the  same, 
but  fast  to  contrast  is  what  colours  this  game
A  mountain  is  a  molehill  if  ya  walk  like  an  oliphaunt  (elephant sound)
But  you  can’t  always  be  the  king  of  the  jungle (naaa hah)   
So  when  you’re  feelin’ down  like  a  clown  and  ya  just  can’t  turn  around  
Remember  this  jam  filled  point,  within  this  funky  joint  
{Interlude}  
And  if  forever  ever  you  do  complain    
Just  remember  ever  that  that’s  just  lame  
Suck  up  life  like  a  butterfly  
Show  them  wings  and  pollinate  the  sky  
Cause  if  there’s  one  thing  to  do,  do  before  ya  die  
It‘s  to  spread  that  goodness  on  to  everyone  X2 
Spread  that  goodness  on  to  everyone  
Spread  that  goodness  on  to  everyone

Phineas Gage, was a man who suffered a tragic accident when a railroad spike he was tampering explosives with, went through his head. His personality changed. Phineas Gauge liken the spike to music, altering their fundamental nature, in an utterly profound way.  

     We humbly invite you to better acquaint yourself with our rather eclectic music of which we are very passionate. It makes us think of mold growing atop a fancy pair of leather shoes while trudging through the jungle. It is like being huddled next to a trouble light for warmth, while sleeping in a rolled up rug in a garage, in the middle of winter. 

    Strange, comforting, a funny tickly feeling just prior to the first wave of psychedelic introspection, a paradox on a long pier, and you sold all of your bananas on the last boat to Puerto Rico
