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

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

"Drinking Away the Virus Today"

I'm sick of sitting around 
I hate just hanging out
I'm drinking too much lager
I'm drinking too much stout
oh hey
I need another IPA

I want to go downtown
but I guess I got my doubt
I want a Bloody Mary
I want a Guinness Stout
oh hey
What are we drinking today?

I'm tired of lockdown
it makes me want to shout
please get me a gin & tonic
I spilled another stout
oh hey
We're drinking away the virus today

I'm sick of sitting around 
I hate just hanging out
I'm drinking too much lager
I'm drinking too much stout
oh hey
We're drinking away the virus today
oh hey
we're drinking away the virus today

Get Your Mask On (We've Got To Get Beer)

"drinkin in the apocalypse"

drinkin in the apocalypse
you never know when you're gonna check out
drinkin in the apocalypse
who's gonna brew more stout?
drinkin in the apocalypse
everyday is Friday night
drinkin in the apocalypse
I don't plan on dying, but I might

Is this my last beer ever?
Is this the last beer ever?

drinkin in the end of time
but damn it I feel fine
drinkin in a pandemic
surviving on beer and red wine
drinkin in the end of time
I don't care no one's around
drinkin in the apocalypse
there's got to be more beer in this town

is this my last beer ever?
is this my last beer ever?

drinkin in the apocalypse
you never know when you're gonna check out
drinkin in the apocalypse
who's gonna brew me more stout?
drinkin in the apocalypse
everynight is Friday night
drinkin in the apocalypse
I don't plan on dying, but I might

Is this my last beer ever?
Is this the last beer ever?

Drinkin In The Apocalypse

"Do You Ever Feel Like It's All Too Real?"

Hey, I'm not doing well in my head somehow
I don't think I should be alone right now
Let's go get a beer
Let's meet somewhere near

Hey, I feeling lost, I'm feeling small
I'm feeling like nothing matters at all
I want to talk about my soul
But first let's pack a bowl

Hey, sometimes I get lost in my dark
I need someone to light a spark
Do you ever feel
like it's all too real?

Hey, I dream of how it used to be
When we were healthy and free
I feel so trapped
But I guess I'll adapt

Let's go get a beer
Let's meet somewhere near

Do You Ever Feel Like It's All Too Real?

"Not Going To Miss This"

I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer

It mocked me
it weighed me down
No one was around 
in this ghost town.

It took my friend
won't ever end
nuclear meltdown
ruined playground

Trying to teach me
but it beat me.
It taught me 
not to believe in myself.

It was a garden
of self doubt;
when autumn comes
will anger sprout?

I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer

I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer

It tore me down
won't help me up
won't listen when I said
that I've had enough.

Like pulling teeth,
falling on the street
everything broken
and the devil's discreet.

It took my patience
if I ever had any,
and replaced it all
with complacency 

Burn the calendar
turn the page
I'm no ambassador
for the summer's rage

Not Going To Miss This

'pocalypse party

grab the weed, pack some beer & let's go
the world may be ending quickly but we can dance real slow
to that reggae music they'll be playing I know
we can forget why we're feeling so low

at the 'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is here
'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is near

grab your wine, put on a mask & let's go
it could be the best night of the year I believe so
a live band and marijuana smoke
is this social distancing?, I guess No

it's a 'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is here
'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is near

hey grab my gin, pour some juice & let's roll,
where we're going you might lose self-control
we can dance fast when they're playing slow soul
to have a couple of smile is my only goal

at the 'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is here
'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is near
