MCIOM´s Way (Worldcontest Old Versions)

Combining elements of Meccaniche del Sueno´s  contributions to the past two disquiet junto projects plus adding some music I created is how I made this track

Wilfried Hanrath - Mechanics of Dreams, with Meccaniche del Sueno (disquiet0699)

A song about cleaning up the mess --or not.

When Shift Happens

A song about a bongo-loving cook in the town's best greasy spoon who'd rather jam to the beat than make the patrons happy.  I played bass, bongos and pot 'n' pans.

Leon, Rustle Up Some Grub

Noir Jazz feature electric guitar on lead. Powerful and emotional.

It's Been A Long Time

Un Trésor À Recréer

Unterwegs

Just me spouting off about some of my pet peeves. 

I'm a Grumpy Old Man

C- I'm a grumpy old man
That's what I am
A grumpy old man

Have you ever picked up a can of something and looked at the serving size and instead of 2 or 3 servings it says about 2.5 servings.  What the hell don't they know how much they put in there?

Have you ever purchased a box of cereal or potato chips and the package says the contents may have settled? You open the bag or box and it is only half full!  It didn't settle you didn't fill it!

Chorus

Don't you love those jar covers with little tabs that you have to bend up and pull to open the jar. Do you know how they attach that covering? You're in luck because I'm gonna tell you. They use the strongest adhesive they can find! If you are not a professional wrestler then good luck at opening that jar.

Hold it for a second guys I'll be right back. Hey you kids get off of my lawn. Where were we?  Oh ya

chorus

Speaking of jars have you noticed how tight those metal caps over the covers are now? They are obviously using the strongest robots on their production lines to tighten them.

Don't you love those ads that say something like now using real peanut butter. What the hell were they using before?  Plastic peanut butter?

chorus

Have you ever used plastic wrap, aluminum foil, wax paper and tried to use the built in cutter?  Instead of perfectly ripping it off the damn box either bends, breaks or those push in tabs on the end of the box don't hold the roll and it ends up on the floor! Why can't they make the box strong enough to use as directed?

It may seem distant but the right track is out there ... somewhere.

The Right Track
too long in this town, too long in shadow
roads lead out, where do they go?
this might be someone's idea of good old days
not mine i'm parting ways

Chorus

i'm leaving
some might think on a wing and a prayer
but there's got to be peace
between here and somewhere
sun on my face, wind at my back
i'm finally... on the right track

day by day, time gets shorter
while my bucket list just runs over
some things age well like a fine old wine
but a spirit chained
will die in time (so...)

Chorus

Bridge

friends say slow down don't go
but what the hell could they know
i got boots older than most of them
and I ain't leaving on a whim

Chorus

The Right Track

A scripture song I composed based on Psalm 127:3. "Children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is his reward!"

It was last year, when my troubles began
Lawd it’s been a hard year since this hex on me began
It was all cause a woman said I took her man

She sent me a letter, said she′s gonna turn me round
She said I was evil and she's gonna run me into the ground
She′s gonna fix me so I won't chase her man around

The next day I found black dust round my door
I was out that morning, black dust was all round my door
Soon I was feeling so bad, worse than I ever had before

I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, had trouble with my feet
In the middle of the night I could hear my own heart beat
It was cold outside but all I was feeling was heat 

Black dust in my window, black dust on my porch mat
I tried to get dressed up but black dust was even in my hat
I didn’t care nothing bout her man, no, I ain’t like that 

I got my own, don’t want her man
I ain’t      like     that
