Dedicated to the memory of a dear friend whose “heart was a valley deep” and “mind was a mountain steep.”  There are many references in this song to the play “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett, which I directed in the 90’s. In that production my friend embodied the character of Estragon perfectly and taught the world something through his presence both on and off stage. His big heart, intelligence, and laughter forever lives my heart and the hearts of many.

This piece was created during a Fredericton Arts Alliance Residency. Guitar music composed and performed by Bryan McDaniel.

DON’T WANNA BE HERE
I WANNA BE THEN
DON’T WANNA BE NOW
I WANNA BE THERE 

I’M A PRO CRASCINATING MAN
COS I GOT SO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS
NEVER MIND THE TICKLING OF THE CLOCK
I COULD WALK TEN MILES AROUND THE BLOCK

TIME TAKES TIME SO DO I
WILL ANYBODY EVER TELL ME WHY 
NOT 
TAKE 
TIME

I’M A PRO NON- PROACTIVE MAN
WHY SHOULD I 
THE LORD IS AT COMMAND
YES IT’S ALL SO MUCH UNDER CONTROL
GROWING OLD THEN TAKING A LITTLE STROLL

TIME TAKES TIME SO WHY NOT I
WILL ANYBODY EVER TELL ME WHY 
TIME
TAKES
TIME

I’M A PRO CRASCINATING MAN
AND I GOT SO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS

DON’T WANNA BE HERE
I WANNA BE THEN
DON’T WANNA BE NOW
I WANNA BE THERE 
DON’T WANNA BE HERE
I’M A PRO

I'M A PRO (lyrics)

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, et tes fossiles, sont bitumés.

Cheveux au vent, sur ta Harley, lunettes noires, blouson clouté,
Easy rider en liberté…
Route 66 vers Santa Fé, rock&roll, in L.A.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, et dans le ciel, t’es éthérée.

Dans ta combinaison anti-G, main sur le manche, regard d’acier,
Looping Top-Gun en liberté…
Une escadrille de têtes brulées, rock&roll, in L.A.

Tonique, tellement tonique,
Toxique, extrêmement toxique.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, ton énergie, est carbonée.

Porsche 550, Spyder, à l’est d’Eden, et d’ailleurs,
Fureur de vivre en liberté…
Route 4.6.6 Californie, rock&roll, in L.A.

Tonique, extrêmement tonique,
Toxique, tellement toxique.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, ton corps de rêve, est gazouté.

A toute allure sur la chaussée, Ford Mustang, débridée
Un homme une femme en liberté…
Un dérapage contrôlè, rock&roll, in L.A.

Miss Gasoline

We've got no time to cool the burning hammer we've raised so high,
No time to escape the hammer swinging down from the sky.
　　
What we need is time to think, a moment to contemplate,
To defeat those who steal our time, our foes we won't underestimate.

LYRIC
Turn a blind eye to the world
It won’t be looking back
Find yourself a moment’s peace
Before the next attack

Meet me when tomorrow’s here
Today had to postpone
Yesterday came really near
But never made it home

We’ve got time to dance around the truth
There’s always time to dance around the truth

When the music starts to play
The mice all run outside
They’ll take their chances with the owls
Those mice still have their pride

Make way as we dance around the truth

Dance around, dance around the truth
Dance around,  dance around the truth
How time drags in our eternal youth
Dance around, dance around the truth

Refreshments may be running low
The punch bowl’s down to dregs
But we won’t ever have it said
We’re on our last legs

Excuse us while we dance around the truth

Dance around, dance around the truth
Dance around,  dance around the truth
Hosannah, verily and forsooth
Dance around, dance around the truth

The cemetery’s dark and cool
Perfect for a romp
If we see our own shadows
You know where we’ll stomp

Join in as we dance around the truth

Dance around, dance around the truth
Dance around, dance around the truth
Pour the gin, have a whiff of vermouth
Dance around, dance around the truth

Dance Around

Thank you for stopping by this truck.
Today, November 20th, is the International Children's Day.
Many lives are born and nurtured around the world. New life, new mission! Everything has a shine.
I feel anew the purity, innocence, and pure compassion that we have forgotten.
Here is the video
I hope your imagination will be enriched.

Embracing

All of the people throughout history
Who used the earth so thoughtlessly
Now there’s not much left for us at all
Cause our shortsighted ancestors dropped the ball

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

The old people speak with a gleam in their eyes
Of childhood memories and clear crystal skies
They say that once the sky was blue
And children played upon the land

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time 

Our ancestors were shortsighted and now their children pay
Awakening each morning to greet the tainted day
Gazing out across an endless barren plain
No more amber waves of grain

If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time
