Pinto

An early Christmas present in my stocking!
Recently I awoke to a SC link in my mailbox.  What is this??!! To my utter delight, Oddrun, Arne & Peter surprised me with this wonderful musical gift.  The original piano track was to be a "someday" project between Oddrun and me, but this is triple the fun!  Thank you Oddrun, Arne and Peter not only for remodeling my orphan track, but more importantly for this wonderful gift of friendship.

Evenings With You

As usual…. you’re running late
How long can it take?
To run a brush through your hair, pull on some clothes?
You can talk ….. just look at your state
You made a big mistake
If you think you’re going out with me, dressed in those!
Why…. these are nearly brand new
Give a decade or two
Might concede their first wash is a tad overdue
My dear sweetheart
They’re simply falling apart
Rather, I have to say, just like you
Hmmm…let’s give the restaurant a miss,
Call this evening a day, waddaya say
We pull the blinds, chill the wine, book our sofa for two
Now there’s a plan…..kick off these shoes
Pan the dining out blues
Stayin’ in for …..evenings with you

…..evenings with you…..

Evenings With You. Oddrun, Arne, Peter & Debra

Under A Stone is an upbeat MatAre song about being alone throughout life and then, of course, you're alone when you die. Get used to being happy in your head.

Everything Is Groove

LOST ORIENTATION

Written by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

A DGR Production.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

Pick it up - Put it down
There's nothing in my head
Pick it up - Put it down
Till I regain the thread

Wish I could - But I can't
Suppose I never will
Wish I could - But I can't
Make the time stand still

Chorus

TRYING TO REMEMBER
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG
TRYING TO REMEMBER
IS THIS WHERE I BELONG

Time has flown - Winds have blown
Now look at where we are
Time has flown - Winds have blown
We've not come very far

Feeling tired - Growing old
Trying to kid myself
Feeling tired - Growing old
I could be someone else

CHORUS

BRIDGE

What have I forgotten
It seems so strange
What I have forgotten
It’ll never be the same

Solo

Thinking straight - Knew the score
Nothing in my way
Thinking straight - Knew the score
Seems just like yesterday

Another day - Another night
Another morning dawns
Another day - Another night
Wish I could right the wrongs

Way back when - Long ago
When everything was clear
Way back when - Long ago
Now I just shed a tear

Say hello - Say goodbye
Another one has gone
Say goodbye - Say hello
Another one's, Another one's been born 

CHORUS x 2 to the end

Pick It Up (Cooper/Donkin/Granthem Collaboration)

what now, little man?

51 years on the chain gang, tell me
how did that work out for you?
nobody said it would be easy,
I'll admit I sometimes play the fool
your sole desire was to fit in
it started at the beginnin'
when you mistook direction
for a fateful dose of deception

what now, little man, what now
what now, little man, and how?
 ... confusion!

bitterness where you once had style
now you're trying hard to forget
after an inch, y' gave them a mile
n' just what did you expect?
they're asking for an acrobat
for one who bends and will not crack
you did not have to answer that
you took the bait n' can't give it back

51 years, are you not impressed
just short of amazing,
'little more, maybe less

what now,  little man, what now
what now, my brother, and how?
... confusion!

n' those who would sell you the cure
are the same who are making you sick

you sold yourself too short
