KNIEVEL 

I almost made it over the snake river canyon 
But something was standing in my way
The crowd held their breath and I had no chance 
to make an excuse for why I couldn’t land it 

I’m sorry that you paid to see this 
I thought we could make it but thoughts are deceiving 
If I can’t be everything I wanted to be 
Will you still want me?

I’m not myself right now 
It’s gonna take time to sort me out
I’m not myself right now 
It’s gonna take time, it’s gonna take time

I almost made it over to you but I couldn’t get through
The thought of blood in the water 
I used to be cocky when somebody loved me 
But love is a liar, at least it was to me 

I’m sorry that you paid to see this 
I thought I was fearless but thoughts are deceiving 
I can’t be everything I wanted to be 
Will you still want me?

I’m not myself right now 
Gonna take time to sort me out
Crash into holy ground
It’s gonna be violent, but we like the sound 
We like the sound, we like the sound 

You know it when you hear the sound
You’ll know it when you hear the sound 
You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know
You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know 

I’m not myself right now 
I’m not myself right now 
I’m not myself right now 
It’s gonna take time 
It’s gonna take time 
It’s gonna take time

Medigoround
When all you wanna do is lay down
Your head is spinning round and around
Your doctor says you might be crazy
and sends you to the pharmacy

He tells you that it’s all in your head
his lack of insight fills you with dread
He offers a solution for you
“HRT is what you must do”

It’s not inside your head
I said it’s not inside your head
No it’s not inside your head
It’s not inside your head

Your hopes of health are turning to ashes
as you put up with the hot flushes
an under active thyroid they say
and doctor shopping is the new way

Your gaining weight and wondering why
losing hair and feeling so shy
Your use of pharmaceuticals grow
and still your energy stays low

Menopause and inflammation
Sleepless nights and Jeans too tight
Cupboards full of medication
Try some meditation tonight

The voice of reason is ringing in your ears
words of compassion, there’s nothing here to fear
and if you listen the truth becomes clear
It has never been inside  - never been inside your head

I’m calling this a medicine song
and hoping that you’ll all sing along
a better way is waiting for you
and if you’re ready that’s what we’ll do

Your girlfriend turns you onto a book
the answer is inside if you look
just change your diet and try some herbs
It’s a virus that’s attacking your nerves

Eliminate the eggs and dairy
add some Zinc and wild Blueberries
your immune system is always your friend
so don’t suppress it and pretend


We’re on a Medigoround - It’s not inside your head
I said It’s not inside your head
We’re on a Medigoround - No it’s not inside your head
It’s not inside your head

Forget the Medication, try some Meditation

Where Do We Go From Here

Old Time Christmas sounds 

words and music  Lisa Hartt, Don Graham 2020

The holidays are  close at hand
the radio is playing all the carols we hold dear
I get to thinking of a simpler time
when mistletoe and eggnog brought us all good cheer
Bridge
When  a cosy fire and a tangerine,
and a chocolate candy in a stocking
filled with love was just enough
Chorus
If i could go back to then
click my heels and count to ten
and wake up with the 
old folks all around
I'd give everything I own 
to be back in my childhood home
and listen to the old time Christmas sounds.
Verse
Mom and Dad are holding hands
walking in a winter wonderland
the kids are skating on the pond
Snow is falling gently now
we stamp our frozen feet and clasp our
hands around our bodies to get warm
Bridge
Rosy cheeks and sparkling ewyes
everyone is so alive 
with joy this Christmas night

Chorus
If I could go back to then
click my heels and count to ten
and wake up with the old folks 
all around
I'd give everything I own
to be back in my childhood home
and listen to the old time Christmas sounds

I have been a singer songwriter for over 50 years. I hail from Montreal and I still love to perform. Music is everyone's birthright and singing is a great way to communicate.
