"...And as I'm an ass, I advise you to choose
An ass as the king of the land here;
We're founding the mighty donkey-realm,
Where only the asses command here..."


„The Electorate Donkeys“, aka "The Electoral Asses" by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856), a famous poet, novelist and journalist.
Best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Heine's later verse and prose are distinguished by their satirical wit and irony. He is considered a member of the Young Germany movement. His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities—which, however, only added to his fame. He spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris.

Die Wahl-Esel 

Die Freiheit hat man satt am End’
Und die Republik der Tiere 
Begehrte, daß ein einz’ger Regent 
Sie absolut regiere 

Jedwede Tiergattung versammelte sich
 Wahlzettel wurden geschrieben
 Parteisucht wütete fürchterlich
Intrigen wurden getrieben
Das Komitee der Esel ward 
Von Alt-Langohren regieret
Sie hatten die Köpfe mit einer Kokard
Die schwarz-rot-gold, verzieret
Es gab eine kleine Pferdepartei
Doch wagte sie nicht zu stimmen
Sie hatte Angst vor dem Geschrei
 Der Alt-Langohren, der grimmen
Als einer jedoch die Kandidatur
 Des Rosses empfahl, mit Zeter 
Ein Alt-Langohr in die Rede ihm fuhr
Und schrie: Du bist ein Verräter!

Du bist ein Verräter, es fließt in dir 
Kein Tropfen vom Eselsblute
Du bist kein Esel, ich glaube schier
Dich warf eine welsche Stute

Du stammst vom Zebra vielleicht, die Haut 
Sie ist gestreift zebräisch 
Auch deiner Stimme näselnder Laut 
Klingt ziemlich ägyptisch-hebräisch

Und wärst du kein Fremdling, so bist du doch nur 
Verstandesesel, ein kalter
 Du kennst nicht die Tiefen der Eselsnatur 
Dir klingt nicht ihr mystischer Psalter
Ich aber versenkte die Seele ganz
 In jenes süße Gedösel
Ich bin ein Esel, in meinem Schwanz 
Ist jedes Haar ein Esel
Ich bin kein Römling, ich bin kein Slav 
Ein deutscher Esel bin ich
Gleich meinen Vätern 
Sie waren so brav 
So pflanzenwüchsig, so sinnig


Sie spielten nicht mit Galanterei
 Frivole Lasterspiele
Sie trabten täglich, frisch-fromm-fröhlich-frei
Mit ihren Säcken zur Mühle

Die Väter sind nicht tot! Im Grab 
Nur ihre Häute liegen
 Die sterblichen Hüllen 
Vom Himmel herab 
Schaun' sie auf uns mit Vergnügen

Verklärte Esel im Gloria-Licht! 
Wir wollen Euch immer gleichen
 Und niemals von dem Pfad der Pflicht 
Nur einen Fingerbreit weichen
O welche Wonne, ein Esel zu sein! 
Ein Enkel von solchen Langohren! 
Ich möcht es von allen Dächern schrein'
Ich bin als ein Esel geboren
Der große Esel, der mich erzeugt 
Er war von deutschem Stamme
Mit deutscher Eselsmilch gesäugt 
Hat mich die Mutter, die Mamme
Ich bin ein Esel, und will getreu
Wie meine Väter, die Alten 
An der alten, lieben Eselei
Am Eseltume halten

Und weil ich ein Esel, so rat ich Euch
Den Esel zum König zu wählen
Wir stiften das große Eselreich
Wo nur die Esel befehlen

Wir alle sind Esel! I-A! I-A! 
Wir sind keine Pferdeknechte
 Fort mit den Rossen! 
Es lebe, hurra! 
Der König vom Eselsgeschlechte!

So sprach der Patriot. Im Saal 
Die Esel Beifall rufen
 Sie waren alle national
 Und stampften mit den Hufen
Sie haben des Redners Haupt geschmückt 
Mit einem Eichenkranze
Er dankte stumm, und hochbeglückt 
Wedelt' er mit dem Schwanze

Do It

Nonsense, just nonsense! Hopefully, the listener will feel like someone kicked down their door, rants for 3 minutes, and then leaves. 

Lyrics:
Riding my bicycle
I was 8 years old
Riding to the Biblioteca
What the heck does that get ya?

Hey! Speak up asher bard
They say your miseries are symphonies
Hey, what are you writing in that notebook?
You know I say: I'm a poet
But, I make my own hours
That's how you know that you really own it
That's how you know that you've really made it
I've been playing a fool for so long
But I will probably do it again
If you insist
Hey, c'mon, everyone
Give it up for the band!
I've been  trespassing on salvation
I've been speaking in binary code
I'm an observer in slo-mo

Let's disseminate the movie of my life
Cue the split screen
It's like some kind of cosmic universe blooper reel
I'm trying to document the way that we feel
It's 3 AM in the rain
And I'm staring at myself
It's 3 AM in the rain
Can you not see yourself?
Oh, let's give it up
Give it up for the band!

Let those good vibes shine!

I've been thinking about the matter
And the anti-matter
I've got some kind of Dostoevsky skin disease (cough)
You know what I mean?
I've got the aftershave and undertones
The poet's got the loneliest nose
For the way things go

The biblioteca, what the heck will that get ya?

Good Vibes

JE N’AI PAS DE MESSAGE
JE N’AI RIEN À VOUS DIRE
PAS DE MAUVAIS PRÉSAGE
NI DE RÊVE D’EMPIRE

MOI J’ÉCOUTE LE COUCOU
LE SOIR AU FOND DES BOIS
JE DANSE AVEC LES FOUS 
ET LES SINGES AUX ABOIS

ET JE FAIS LE MÉNAGE 
JE PLACE EN L’AVENIR
DES ESPOIRS PLUS SAGES
ET DES CRÉTINS MOINS PIRE

ET J’ÉCOUTE LE COUCOU
L’ALOUETTE PARFOIS
BREF CE QUI VAUT LE COUP
QUI ÉTAIT UNE FOIS

DANS CE MONDE  DE SAUVAGES
DE SUCEURS DE VAMPIRES
OUI SOUVENT J’AI LA RAGE
LES TRIPES QUI CHAVIRENT

ET J’ÉCOUTE LE COUCOU 
LE SOIR AU FOND DES BOIS
JE GRONDE AVEC LES LOUPS
ET LES TIGRES AUX ABOIS

JE N’AI PAS DE MESSAGE 
PAS GRAND-CHOSE À VOUS DIRE
ALORS JE PLIE BAGAGE
ET TEL UN VIEUX SATYRE 

MOI J’ÉCOUTE LE COUCOU
ET LA QUEUE AUX ABOIS
MOI JE TIRE MON COUP
AVEC LA FÉE DES BOIS

LE COUCOU  (Lyrics)

This song features Dave Cooper on vocals and rhythm guitar.  This is a variation on a song I wrote a little while back and placed on YouTube.  I play mandolin and fiddle on this version.  Dave Cooper added new music and melody for the original lyrics.

Here is a link to the original version of this song:

Do Right, Do Wrong

Verse 1:
Way back in the 1500’s
In Stratford upon Avon
The Merchant of Venice 
Shylock is good and a menace

Chorus 1:
To do a great right 
Do a little wrong
That is what
Shakespeare said

Verse 2:
What does it mean
To the play’s scene
Why must one do wrong to do right?
That is the situation Portia had to fight
How can this possibly be
Why would he make this plea

Verse 3:
When Bassanio urges Portia to break the law in order to thwart Shylock

Final Double Chorus:
Sometimes it is necessary
To do a little wrong
To create a situation for a great right

Do Right Do Wrong (with warfydave)

'Is The Red Dust On Steroids' is from my upcoming album 'A Word In Your Ear Please' and is a jazz Fusion track, inspired by the global chaos being created presently by the so called 'Deep State'. However the planet is in a continual state of chaos known by the Daoists as 'Red Dust' The track is quite extreme in nature and begins and ends very calmly, while the centre sections are the complete opposite.
