You will no longer be busy
with disrespect
You will no longer sink your teeth
into this neck
You will no longer be paid
with energy. BET
You’ll only now receive 
the reality check

Going down, down, down
in rank
Going down, down, down 
in rank
You're going down, down, down, 
down in rank-
Cause I'm THE ONE now
driving the tank

No emotion (back at cha)
Your demotion (and betcha)
You won't be causing
anymore commotion...

Pay Day

Runs in the family / runs in the family / No, that's an atrocity / you won't hear from me / I don't like the sound of that / Not lyin' in a mouse trap / I'm a mofo' sassy cat / I don't clean no dirty rat / No, not MY reality / Said, not my reality / Don't shine shit in front of me / and call it my reality! / I don't like the sound of that / I don't like the sound of that / I don't like the sound of that / Cruel intentions: tires flat / I say what will shine for me / I say what will bleed for me / I call out the TRASH to me / Bad trash always DIES FOR ME / Clawed out my own reality / The top from the back alley / I don't run in the family / I run far from the alley / Calling all sour soulmates / Recovering alley cats / You all clean up so good now / NO bad, bad trash, just LoVe pats!

HI!! Here's my folk-rocky version of SCOTLAND THE BRAVE!!!
In 1951, the famous Scots singer Robert Wilson asked Cliff Hanley to write the words to accompany an old Highland pipe tune. Although few realised it at the time, "Scotland the Brave" was to become a nationwide and international hit. Indeed, it remained the de facto national anthem for two decades before being supplanted by Flower Of Scotland. SHARE AND COMMENT IF YOU LIKE!!

SCOTLAND THE BRAVE

Oh, my gravedigger, yeah,
Karmic one and only-
Cosmic Love so deadly
but I keep resurrecting

Just figured I’d always be
your pretty menacing-
{pretty dead} girl dancing
Your ego trip-enhancing 

My bones filthy for you
Corpse bride-moonlighting 
You look good shoveling
but I RIDE the LIGHTNING

Just another white lie 
lost on your checkerboard 
Never be your dead girl
but will always unfurl

as pretty {something}.

Pretty Something

Words:

only said you loved me 
one time i cornered you
now I understand-
only want the tightest hand
to just let go, yeah,
letting you go, go, go
ready, set, go
ready, set, go
ready, set, GO!!!

Now I'm racing so slow!
Snails RRR running the show!
At my own pace, LET GO!
Said, pour another, Moe,
I'm just tryin' to let go...

Snails RRR Running

Hi!! Here's my latest recording, a very old tune written many years ago by Rory Dall O'Cahan, he may have been an Irish harper and composer.  He is said to have been born circa 1580 in County Antrim and to have died circa 1653 at Eglinton Castle.
Unlike the vast number of travelling musicians, Ó Catháin was a gentleman by birth and he traveled into Scotland attended by the retinue of a rich gentle man.
ENJOY MY UILLEANN PIPES!!! Ale

CATHERINE OGIE

Introduction in English:
Some of my friends accuse me of having a longing for death or even of glorifying death. In fact, I often deal with death in my lyrics - as I do in this song and the whole album that will be released in the next 12 to 15 months. 
But as with previous songs, I always say that I can enjoy life all the more by fully accepting death as an inevitable reality. Many people who try to suppress this fact constantly feel an underlying, agonising fear that tends to keep them away from the wonderful aspects of life. 
In addition, recognising that death is a constant companion from birth leads to even more profound gratitude for every day that I am allowed to live. 
The song ‘Rendezvous with Death’ was written at a time when I was at an important turning point in my life. During this phase, I realised that I had to let some things ‘die’ in order to continue living well. In this respect, this in-depth rendezvous was necessary in order to move forward again. Another example of how death and life are inextricably linked.


Lyrics in English

Rendezvous with Death

The dead comes very quietly
He sneaks up behind you unnoticed
He has stolen your lifelong dream
So don't even start making plans for the future

In the most beautiful kiss he takes your joy
In the greatest rush of life he simply unplugs you

He cradles you gently in his lap, lulls your mind, sings you to sleep
Before you awake, he draws you all the way in to himself 

He is waiting for you in the treetop 
Lean in, he takes you to himself
With every branch he has already grasped you
The dead

Deutscher Originaltext

Rendezvous mit dem Tod

Der Tod kommt auf ganz leisen Sohlen
Er schleicht sich unbemerkt von hinten an
Er hat Dir Deinen Lebentraum gestohlen
Drum‘ fang‘ erst gar nicht mit Zukunftsplänen an

Im schönsten Kuss nimmt er Dir Deine Freude
Im größten Rausch des Lebens stöpselt er Dich einfach aus

Er wiegt Dich sanft in seinem Schoß, lullt Dich ein, singt Dich in den Schlaf
Bevor Du erwachst zieht er Dich ganz zu sich hinein 

In der Baumkrone erwartet er Dich 
Lehn Dich an, er nimmt Dich zu sich
Mit jedem Ast hat er Dich schon erfasst
Der Tod

Rendezvous mit dem Tod (Rendezvous with the dead)

Rendez-vous mit dem Tod (Rendez-vous with Death)

RED GOLDEN YEARS

"(I Feel Like We're) the Casualties"

I wish I knew some way to make it all right
I wish it didn't all have to end in a fight

I feel like we're the casualties
I feel like we're the casualties

I wish my words could be right but they're all wrong
I wish I could just pretend to be strong

I wish that I'd just let it go
I wish I were more Gone than Ego

I feel like we're the casualties
I feel like we're the casualties

I wish that my pride would die
so I could see the planking in my own bloodshot eyes

I feel like we're the casualties
I feel like we're the casualties

(I Feel Like We're) The Casualties

"I'm Most Lonely When I'm Not Alone"

I'm always in a bad mood; I'm always misunderstood
no matter how much I think my mind is always on the brink
I'll always stand apart, maybe silence will make me seem smart
I've not a lot of close friends but I'd rather have those than pretend

I'm most lonely when I'm not alone
I'm most lonely when I'm not alone
I won't open the front door, I won't answer the phone
I'm most lonely when I'm not alone

I'm always trying to stay away so I don't ruin your day
If I could just stay right here I could disappear all year
I'm happy by myself, just me and a bookshelf
when I read those poems they make me feel less alone

I'm most lonely when I'm not alone
I'm most lonely when I'm not alone
I won't open the front door, I won't answer the phone
I'm most lonely when I'm not alone

I'm happy by myself, just me and a bookshelf
when I read those poems they make me feel less alone


I'm most lonely when I'm not alone
I'm most lonely when I'm not alone
I won't open the front door, I won't answer the phone
I'm most lonely when I'm not alone

I'm always trying to stay away so I don't ruin your day
If I could just stay right here I could disappear all year
I'm happy by myself, just me and a bookshelf
when I read those poems they make me feel less alone

I'm most lonely when I'm not alone
I'm most lonely when I'm not alone
I won't open the front door, I won't answer the phone
I'm most lonely when I'm not alone

please tell me you know how I feel
please tell me you know how I feel 

please tell me you know how I feel
please tell me you know how I feel

I'm Most Lonely When I'm Not Alone

"Stop Me Before I Say Something Too Real"

please interrupt
before I get to the truth 
of what's been keeping me up.
please cut right in
before I spill the truth,
admit I'm a has-been.
please shut me up
before you realize I'm not a winner
I'm not even runner up

please
please
please
stop me before I say
stop me before I say
stop me before I say
something too real

please jump right in
before I repeat myself
or say something to offend.
please go right ahead
you know my stories all end the same,
always full of dread.
please interrupt
before I get to the truth
of what's been keeping me up

please
please
please
stop me before I say
stop me before I say
stop me before I say
something too real
stop me before I say
stop me before I say
stop me before I say
something too real

Stop Me Before I Say Something Too Real

"there's a word for everything but this"

there's a word for everything but this
there's a word for everything
there's a word for everything but this
there's a word for everything .... but this

can't i just shut my mouth and keep it to myself?
but that would be a giant task in and of itself
my thoughts are misinformed  
i wish there was a word I could use
i don't believe in missteps
i just wish i knew what to do

there's a word for everything but this
there's a word for everything
there's a word for everything but this
there's a word for everything .... but this

don't you dream of better days, days you haven't seen yet?
don't you think there's better ways to express what's in your head?
my mind is so confused i wish there was a word I could use
i don't believe in regret i just wish i knew what to do

there's a word for everything but this
there's a word for everything
there's a word for everything but this
there's a word for everything .... but this

won't you ignore me i'm just dreaming out loud
it's been this way since they outlawed a crowd
my brain is feeling footloose I wish there was a word I could use
to express my jumbled mess I just which I knew what to do

there's a word for everything but this
there's a word for everything
there's a pill for everything but this
there's a pill for everything .... but this
there's a book for everything but this
there's a book for everything
there's a poem for everything but this
there's a poem for everything .... but this
there's a song for everything but this
there's a song for everything
there's a word for everything but this
there's a word for everything .... but this

there's a word for everything but this

"I'm Barely Keeping It Together"

I'm barely keeping it together

bandages
sliced fingers 
kitchen knife
distraction

I'm thinking things I didn't think I'd be thinking
I'm thinking things I didn't think I'd be thinking

I'm barely keeping it together

insomnia
I'm bleeding coffee
lonely night
thinking of you 

I'm thinking things I didn't think I'd be thinking
I'm thinking things I didn't think I'd be thinking

I'm barely keeping it together

borderline
basketcase
this sobriety sucks
thinking of you

I'm thinking things I didn't think I'd be thinking
I'm thinking things I didn't think I'd be thinking

I'm barely keeping it together

I'm Barely Keeping It Together

"Sorry Excuse"

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I'm sorry I've been stuck in a rut
that's a sorry excuse for being out of touch
I've been fighting loneliness it sucks
that's a sorry excuse and I know it don't mean much

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I'm a sorry excuse and you're such a good friend
if you walked away I wouldn't blame you in the end
I'm a sorry excuse I wish I could amend
I promise I'll be in touch this weekend 

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

You deserve so much better than me
you don't have to open your eyes to see
that I'm a sorry excuse best to just let me be
I'm a sorry excuse, it's better 'you' not 'we'

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Sorry Excuse
