LYRICS ONLY STRANGER IN MY LIFE by DOUG MICHAEL ROOSSIEN 
FEEL LIKE A STRANGER IN MY LIFE    
NOT A SOUL I’D RECOGNIZE 
THIS STRANGER I DON’T KNOW IS ALL ALONE 
I LOOK IN THAT MIRROR, WE USED TO SHARE 
JUST SEE THE GHOST…OF YOU STANDING THERE 
And …THIS BED, WHERE WE USED TO LIE, …HAS GROWN SO COLD 

Till …THIS STRANGER… CAME INTO MY LIFE 
NOW HE’S THE ONLY ONE I RECOGNIZE 
I DON’T EVEN KNOW… DON’T EVEN KNOW… MY OWN SOUL 

DROVE BY OUR DINER THAT WE USED TO KNOW  
ORDERED A PIZZA FOR JUST ONE TO GO
SAT ON THAT PARK BENCH SWALLOWED MY PRIDE TILL I WAS FULL 
READ YOUR LETTER...EVERY WORD 
WHISPERED INSIDE IT’S …JUST WHAT I DESERVED 
MY TEARS, SOAKED ON EVERY WORD, YOU WROTE 

To …THIS STRANGER… Who Came into my life. 
And He’s the only … ONE I recognize. 
DON’T EVEN KNOW, DON’T EVEN KNOW,.MY OWN SOUL 
 FEEL LIKE A STRANGER….(a stranger in my life) 
FEEL LIKE A STRANGER….(a stranger in my life) 

REREAD YOUR LETTER...AGAIN EVERY WORD 
WHISPERED INSIDE … IT’S JUST WHAT I DESERVED 
AS MY TEARS, SOAKED ON EVERY WORD,  EVERY WORD YOU WROTE 
To this stranger …this stranger …in my life 
Feel like a Stranger ,… a stranger …in my life. 

I believe we are closing on an album of our songs together: (six so far) …Stranger in my life, Only Just a Picture, Tears you just can’t cry, Never Sailed Goodbye, Sad River, and Goin’ to Hell,… Thank you Johnny!!

RENT A ROOM

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance

Well we don’t want to feel your cold
We want a steel womb with a view
So we can catch you and your crew
With your shiny shoe and your clean shirt
Looking around through all the dirt
You check the chandelier
But I can see straight through you here
You've got a sweat on from the beer
And we can smell your fear
You're coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
(Maybe even a cyber-sabre dance!)

The priest and the nun
Are pouring sand into
The joints of my exoskeleton
Whilst a dog with a bone
Is running into trouble
With a clone of mine’s explosive rubber drone

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
Boop boop boop...

■概要(Overview)
グリーン券を購入すると、
ゆったりとした座席で設備が充実した車両に乗ることが出来ます。
窓側の席に座ってのんびり旅をしたいけれどいびきが聞こえてきた・・
そんな感じの曲です。
短いですが、とても久しぶりの新曲です。
今回はドラム→ボーカル→ギター→その他ベースなどの順で作ってみました。

When you purchase a green ticket,
You can ride in a well-equipped vehicle with comfortable seats.
I want to sit in the window seat and travel leisurely, but I can hear snoring...
It's a song like that.
It's short, but it's my first new song in a long time.
This time I made it in the order of drums → vocals → guitar → other bass etc.


■歌詞
グリーン車に乗っていこうよ
5号車か4号車の前で待つ
弁当とビール買って
夢見心地の混沌へ

どぅっどぅっぱっつ
どぅっどぅどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅるっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅるっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ


窓側の席のサンシェード
閉めて　寝息だけが聞こえてくる
So　Guuuu.... Spiii.... Guuuu.... 
Spiii.... Guuuuuuuuuuu....u
I wanna be...


相　席　捨て(ぃ)　夢見
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.


グリーン車に乗っていこうよ
ゆっくりシート倒していく
One duck .... Two ducks
And crying baby
夢 見心地の混沌へ

どぅっどぅっぱっつ
どぅっどぅどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅるっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅるっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

(逃れられないのはしょうがないね)

相　席　Stay　夢見
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.

■Lyrics
Let's ride the green car
Wait in front of car 5 or 4.
buy lunch and beer
Toward a dreamlike chaos

Dudduppattsu
Douuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dududdudduddud

Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dudduruppppa
Douuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dududdudduddud


window seat sunshade
Close it and all I can hear is someone's breathing
So　Guuuu.... Spiii.... Guuuu....
Spiii.... Guuuuuuuuuuuu....u
I wanna be...


I gave up on the dreaminess.
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.


Let's ride the green car
Slowly recline the seat and fall asleep
One duck.... Two ducks
And crying baby
A dream into a chaotic chaos

Dudduppattsu
Douuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dududdudduddud

Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dudduruppppa
Douuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dududdudduddud

(It can't be helped that you can't escape)

Give up on being dreamy
I decided to stay in this seat.
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.

Guuuu...

Calling Your Name

Here's the first single from the Penelope's Thrill second album, "Message on the Moon," which will be released on April 11. 
"Things Are Falling Down" is an upbeat song paradoxically about global warming and climate change. The infectious reggae-infused bass line and scratchy guitars make the listener perk up and listen...and eventually realize what the song is about. So it's a bit of sugar to get people to come to the table and think about the mounting crisis we're all facing...and maybe dance off some of their stress too. 
Cover painting is "Amor Fati" by Kelli Hoppmann, my favorite artist who also happens to be from Madison. Big thanks to Kelli for permission to use her paintings on the singles and the album. 
In fact, Kelli's paintings played a big role in the gestation of the new album. A few years ago, my wife and I bought one of Kelli's paintings that featured a moonlit woodland scene with phantasmagoric characters (like the "Amor Fati" painting above). That painting, which is titled "August Night," greets me each morning as I come downstairs. Eventually, it served as the inspiration for several songs on the album, including the title track, "Message on the Moon," and “August Night,” which is a song about the painting. A main theme of Kelli’s paintings is metamorphosis, which is also the main theme that runs through the songs on Message on the Moon. All six of the singles from the album also feature cover paintings by Hoppmann. (All those singles are now up on Bandcamp, Spotify, etc, and will be uploaded here as well.)
On this track, I play a vintage modified Stratocaster, a classic 60s Telecaster, and a Gretsch hollowbody--a combination I particularly like.

LYRICS:
“Things Are Falling Down"
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh	
			
Half a minute and you won’t be here.
Half a minute and you’ll be gone.
Make your fictions so you don’t have to know our days are numbered.

Take your pictures and post them online.
Make your mixtures of rum and coke.
Maybe you just think it’s all a joke, but the seas are rising.

Make a million so you won’t know.
Play some music on your stereo.
Shop online to preserve your status quo while the world is crumbling.

CHORUS:
I don’t say the things I know.
I don’t say I won’t go—looks like things are falling down.
When I would take you down,
when I would bring you round—seems like things are falling down.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Now we’re fragile as eggs if you recall the way that story ends.

Jake was nimble, Jake was quick
when he jumped that candlestick,
but Jack and Jill are feeling sick about the way we’re going.

Cinderella had it right, but Rapunzel gave delight
when she lowered her hair from the tower top (where is our ladder?)

CHORUS

I remember going to the islands, lounging there on the sandy bay,
but now those islands have washed away beneath the waves and…

Now we scuttle our dreams and future.
Now we huddle on the rec room couch
while our conscience says, “you’re such a slouch,”
and the trees are whispering.

Lyrics:

The road to happiness is difficult to find
You can get lost along the way..
You have to make an effort
Keep an open mind
And happiness will come to you one day..

If there is lightning and thunder
And the rain pours down
You can still smile through your tears..
Roar like a lion
Dance in the rain
Let joy be your outfit to wear..

If you only demand
With nothing to give
Unable to find pleasures in small things..
You will never feel happy
It will only get dark
And you will miss out what life can bring..

If there is lightning and thunder
And the rain pours down
You can still smile through your tears..
Roar like an lion
Dance in the rain
Let joy be your outfit to wear..

Lyrics:

I always felt alone
Had no one to lean on
There was heavy clouds over me..
I was let down as a child
And lost all trust in people
Had to find my own way to survive..
I was so afraid of being let down again
Of those who said they loved me
And said they were my friend..

So I built a wall
I built a solid wall
My own place where I could feel safe..
No one got through there
No one could sense my fear
No one could hurt me
I could hide behind my wall..

Then you came 
And everything changed
You broke through my wall
Made sure I didn't fall..
I felt I could trust you 
when you said you loved me
I felt safe when you said you were my friend..
You wiped all my tears..
I could share all my secrets
You held me close
And chased away all my fears..

I had built a wall
I had built a solid wall
My own place 
where I could feel safe..
But you got through there
You could sense my fear
But you didn't hurt me
I didn't have to hide anymore...
