lyrics

bade my final farewell
to all a my favourite friends
give my love to Joanna
should your paths ever cross again
maybe I can write a letter to her someday
but I won't be around this old way again

go tell my next of kin
but please don't mention where I have bin
and tell them all the words I said
well not a single thing I meant
they would only try to
convince me to stay
but I won't be around this old way again

just  trying to get back on my feet
don't pull the rug from underneath
I get everything here that I need
racked right up in front of me
heaven knows I've been a lonely boy before

but I won't be a lonely boy no more

Lonely Boy No More

This song is John Mayall's tribute to a blues history giant living in Hollywood's Laurel Canyon many years ago. Bob Hite had an enormous collection of 78rpm blues artists "goin' back through the years, hear any record you choose".

I've been singing this song in public for many years without knowing Bob Hite (The Bear) "rolled" his last in 1981. Mea culpa.

The repertoire of Canned Heat and John Mayall has been a constant reference throughout my musical life.

This is a song for all Brothers throughout the world. But particularly for my 2 brothers. I really like the way this song ended up. I wrote it a few years ago and was never really happy with the end result but i like this one...Hope you do too SoundCloud Brothers :-) and Sisters .

Verse 1 

When we were young we were always together 

We are Brothers by birth, Best friends by choice, Birds of a feather 

We have had  good times and Bad, we have been happy and we have been sad

We stood side by side We laughed and we cried, but we did it together 

And yes there were times things were tough and hard to understand 

But We stood side by side and we held each other hand.



Chorus 

Because we’re Brother and that’s what brothers do

You stand by me Brother and I stand by you 

Because we’re Brother that’s what brother do 

You have my back brother and I have your too 

Because we’re brothers

Because we’re brothers and that’s what brother Do.



Verse 2

Now those days have changed 

Our lives re-arranged 

Had More good days than Bad, more happy than Sad oh how things Changed 

We are no longer along 

We have kids of our Own 

And as we watch them play,  we hope and pray, that’s they’ll be Ok 

And yes they will have times that they wont understand 

But they will stand side by side and they’ll hold each other Hand

Brothers Anthem

On a recent trip to Las Vegas, a local busker by the name of @JoshOnBuckets blew my mind with his percussion. We chatted, exchanged info - and I then recorded some of his mastery for this loop-based track.

Addicts on every level
When they feel good, They never settle
They want more of that feeling
Appeal keeping them reeling 
Deep lines lacking in meaning
-
Exceeding all expectations.
Expanding borders 
on sovereign nations.
Complacency teaming,
In spaces between me n,
All of the forest and all of the trees,
And all of the seas, 
dung beetles and bees,
The babies to be, 
unborn and unseen,
The souls that are lost,
The trades and the costs,
The spoils or the bounties,
The coils in the counties,
The lethal injections,
Unsettling projections,
Protecting the notions,
The Navy, the Oceans,
Promotion. 
Promotional marketing. 
Corporate greed and 
ad-word targeting.
Data sales, data mines.
Data jails for data times.
Dad I’m sorry, I’m not crying.
The world it hurt me, 
but I’m not dying.
The world it threw me, 
but I’m not flying.
Just Trying to stay stable.
Thoroughly bred to 
feed others at the table.
Blinders on to avoid 
others on the cable.
A label? A fable.
Stories, scriptures, lies 
filled with swear words.
Fuck.
Swear now, sworn in, 
square jaw, too thin.
Too raw, too soft, 
knocked out, bashed in.
Ration, nation, tactics, bacon.
War dogs, war pigs, 
warthogs, more kids.
Generation, x, why, boom, bye.
Tombs, cries, boots, flies.
Mud, blood, fear, and bravery.
Keeping us safe from 
living in slavery.
History, cycles, 
news flash, rifles.
Stifling all of us 
calling on idols.
Shit
Idea Eyes
Idealized isolation, consternation, masturbation.
Masses mutilated, 
masses brooding hatred.
Masses casting caskets
Rackets made white wearing leather jackets 
Acting like asshatted … 
-
Ad dicks on every level
When they feel good, They never settle
They want more of that feeling
Appeal keeping them reeling 
Keep. Me. Safe.

Mexico is considered the most dangerous country for reporters outside a war zone. 14 journalists killed this year, and counting!

Dedicado a esos periodistas de México, y de muchos otros países, que han sido asesinados haciendo su trabajo, ya los que continúan a pesar de las amenazas de violencia!
Dedicated to those journalists from Mexico, and from many other countries, who have died violently doing their job, and to those who continue despite the threats of violence!

A special thanks to Ale Destiny, whose vocals added so much to this song. Listen to her latest song "Vincent" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfa7jjZoK0U&list=OLAK5uy_kwTdpzKWQbJ5Xm05Ok3ulGPmfAm_xv7s8

"La violencia contra la prensa en México no da tregua y en solo seis meses, lo que va de 2022, 12 periodistas han sido asesinados en el país, según el recuento de organizaciones como Artículo 19, Reporteros sin Fronteras (RSF), el Comité para la Protección de los Periodistas (CPJ, por sus siglas en inglés) y el que registra CNN."
(The violence against the press in Mexico does not let up and in just six months, so far in 2022, 12 journalists have been murdered in the country, according to the count of organizations such as Article 19, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the Committee for the Protection of Journalists (CPJ) and the one recorded by CNN.)
― Rocío Muñoz-Ledo: 4 Julio, 2022, CNN Español

“No society can be free and fair without journalists who are able to investigate wrongdoing, bring information to citizens, hold leaders accountable and speak truth to power.”
― UN Secretary-General António Guterres

Journalists ... have been killed ... in a lot of places where hard rain falls. As readers or journalists, we honor them when we remember that their dying was not part of a plan to make the world cheaper, baser, or dumber. They died to bring us the truth.”
― Pete Hamill (journalist, novelist, essayist and editor)

Lyrics
Aunque sea esto lo último que escriba…. ¡No voy a rendirme!
(Even if this is the last thing I write... I'm not going to give up!)

In the freezer of my fridge
Waits an impression of my teeth
To identify my mutilated remains
If they hear you’re asking questions
See their names in big bold captions
There’s a deadly bullet waiting with your name …….. your name

Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war
Trying to tell a story with one eye on the door
If they don’t like what you’re saying
You’d better get to praying
Cos only God could be your savior … now
Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war

I’m married to death,
Hand in hand we stalk the streets
The camera clicks to capture the grisly trail
I try to find humanity
In this crazy, cruel insanity
I can’t tell if I succeed or if I fail …….. if I fail

Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war
Trying to tell a story with one eye on the door
If they don’t like what you’re saying
You’d better get to praying
Cos only God could be your savior … now
Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war

I’ve lost so many friends and colleagues
Shot or stabbed or hacked to pieces
By cops or gunmen from the narco
Leaving stains like scarlet day-glo
Craven silence in high places
Bought by money with no traces
No justice for those brave cold corpses
Lost in hard rain down in Juárez
Lost in hard rain down in Juárez
Lost in hard rain down in Juárez

Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war
Trying to tell a story with one eye on the door
If they don’t like what you’re saying
You’d better get to praying
Cos only God could be your savior … now
Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war

This is the conclusion of a twisted cops and robbers story that began in Part 1.  You can find Part 1 here:

Lyrics;
Hound dog hot on the scent
To where the thieving fox went
He's chasing down that miscreant
And he never will relent...
Put the foot on the floor
The hound dog is at the door
Runs out the back real fast
But his escape won't last

The law man
had cuffed his hands
Cuffed them tight
and read him his rights
He'd caught him just in time
To commit a perfect crime
Their whereabouts were unknown

Temptation leads to mighty sin
No one's around to turn him in
For pocketing a cash advance
A fortune made from circumstance
 
Put the foot
on the floor
Their both inside
And he's locked the door

Makes him talk
And finds the stash
He's gonna carry out all of the cash

Throws it in his car
Lights up a cheap cigar
But you can't leave a witness
When he knows who you are

The fox is still lying there
Somewhere deep under the stairs
Price was paid
I'm afraid
Buried for all time
Victim of a perfect crime
Whereabouts unknown

Temptation lead to might sin
The hound dog's never seen again
Good guy goes bad and that's the spin
For him a new hunt will begin
His whereabouts unknown

Have you seen this man. We're searching for this man...

Whereabouts Unknown

"He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes." Chinese Proverb

Lyrics
Misty Liar … Misty Liar
Prowling through the corridors of power
Misty Liar … Misty Liar
Moving ever upwards hour by hour
Oh Misty Liar
… sweet and sour

Misty Liar … Misty Liar
Happy lying back, but also on all fours
Misty Liar … Misty Liar
Long as it can open up those all-important doors
Oh Misty Liar
… conquistador

Chorus
Misty Liar … Misty Liar … Misty … Misty

Misty Liar … Misty Liar
Ready with a smile, but mostly with a fib
Misty Liar … Misty Liar
Pandering with praise both smooth and glib
Oh Misty Liar
… gotta cool adlib

Bridge
No one's ever going to win your love
And surely they’ve had enough
Of all the many cruel deceptions
The easy, trite confessions
But they’re stuck in the barbwire
Of the beguiling Misty Liar

Misty Liar … Misty Liar
Sniffing for a chance to be the tops
Misty Liar … Misty Liar
And in your wake a thousand or more teardrops
Oh Misty Liar
… a bitter lollypop

Chorus
Misty Liar … Misty Liar … Misty … Misty
