when the ships arrive
and all the tables are ready 
and aprons shine like banners  
in the sultry wind

I'll jump off the window
and i'll merry you, Merry 
before the bridegroom comes
and the hurricane begins 

Merry's Wedding

MACHO DREAMS

it is a song for my lively wife and our 2nd anniversary :))

2nd Anniversary 

First time I met you 
swept me over my feet
long dreadlocks, energy enough 
to smoke down the city of Mereen

We lay in the grass
As winos were stealing our bikes
We went to Morocco 
to learn we have a son

We skated on winter ice
and I warmed you with clever movies
bringing you books
and sometimes friends with a bottle of gin

We keep hitch-hiking through life
Job, kids, house and a car
Now we've got wedding rings 
to take us beyond

2nd Anniversary

just an innocent midnight reggae! 

IT'S MIDNIGHT

Chorus:          
It's midnight
all jah people's pants are tight 
It's midnight
Let our auras unite


No man is an island like Jamaica
It's just an island in your soul
So keep your soul dancing
Just keep your body in case you make love


Make love and let your love make it
Out of everything you know
And then you know you are in Jamaica
Follow your soul and let go, let go....

IT'S MIDNIGHT

Summer is blinking away
roughly enough to go round
Where should I go, where should I stay
It's all in the ying, it's all in the yang

So let's climb innocent vines
Steal figs while the neighbour is out
Follow me down to the pub and in a couple of pints
We'll do the twist and we'll do the shout

Summer Blinking Away

MY KIND OF GIRL

she's been
running with scissors
coloring outside lines

she's been
swimming up rivers
ignoring caution signs

she's been
driving in blizzards
skating fast on thin ice

she's now
giving me shivers
with dark seductive eyes

C
she was the kind of girl
who broke all the rules
and the kind of girl
who skipped out of school

she was the kind of girl
who smoked little cigars
and the kind of girl.....
I've always adored....

V2
she's been
playing with fire
carrying switchblade knives

she's been
crossing live wires
riding Harley bikes

she's been
feeding desires
seducing neighbors' wives

she's now
setting me afire
with a handheld device

C
she was the kind of girl
who broke all the rules
she was the kind of girl
who skipped out of school

she was the kind of girl
who smoked little cigars
and the kind of girl....
I always adored....

Am                                   
my parents said she'd only be trouble
G7
friends said she's not the marrying kind
F7
but I don't care what anyone says
Ab7                   G
if she will sometimes be mine

C
she was the kind of girl
who broke all the rules
she was the kind of girl
who skipped out of school

she was the kind of girl
who smoked little cigars
and the kind of girl....
I always adored....

My Kind Of Girl

a shot at rock'n'roll :))

FREEDOM IS ALL YOU WANT

1
G              C
some girls are willing 
C              G   
others are just hot 
A                
but summer's almost over
C          
no time for lazy foxtrots

you play in a band
it's all underground
but all folks got children
and don't give a damn

CHORUS
F        C         G
Freedon is all you want
F                C
from whatever makes you less 
              G 
than what you are

freedom is all you need
from whatever makes you
think


2
rock'n'roll looks easy
with all those videos on youtube
and drugs are cheap
if you know the right dudes

you think you can make it
without a guru in Peru
though if you find the right crazy woman
you might as well go crazy, too


Chorus:

BR:
H                 
When drinks are on the house 
C
And your house is a tropical cave
H
take out your guitar 

and misbehave


Chorus:

Freedom Is All You Want

Sometimes you just need to take the donkey home

VEGGIE LOVE

She used to pump  
up and down the street
until she met a creature fair

when orange mixes 
with purple passion
you don't want to be there

So now they roll
planting their eggs
and pumping them in to Stephen King

VEGGIE LOVE

Probably the fastest skirmish.

A Storm's a-comin'

I can see a storm is a-comin'
And it won't be long, my lord
I can see all god's children runnin
As fast as  never before

So run like the wind that's a-blowing
'Couse there ain't any shelter left
Heaven rains and ev'rything keeps on growing   
And the feeling is simply the best

I can see a storm is a-comin'
And it won't be long, my lord
I can see all god's children runnin
As good as never before

A STORM IS A-COMIN'

THOSE WERE THE NIGHTS

By day she lays in the grass
Waiting for the perfect lad
But the lads they all drink in the pub
They don't mix ale with making love

But once a horse came down the hill
carrying a Riley O'Neil
he never cared for the glass
but he took care of our impatient lass

As sunset would burn o'er the green
They would meet by the old submarine
Dancing with the Russian cadets
Listening to Haydn quartets

Those Were The Nights

GRASSHOPPER SELLER

Everyone is democratic in their attic
Everyone fears they will disappear
Everyone enjoys their ego games

I'm really afraid of blue tigers
You're quite scared of purple guitars
Aren't we all sociopathic enough?

There might be a very simple solution
Not involving evolutions, revolutions or executions
But who am I to tell? 
I'm afraid I'm just a grasshopper seller
