You're not that miserable - just when you try!  Good job, Doc.

Elvis Presley 1956

I Want You I Need You I Love You

A song about the temptation of flogging a horse even you know full well it's dead, and wanting to stop craving some sort of closure you'll never get.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Hello… old friend… it’s been a while
Since you last wiped that smile from my face, and I
Don’t… understand… how all that bitterness
Can taste so sweet the minute you reach out to me…

Pre-chorus
And I know I’m falling into the same trap again
With every step I take towards you,
And isn’t it appalling I can’t seem to regret it enough
To turn my back, it’s overdue.

Chorus
I wanna be like Teflon to you,
Just want you rolling off the surface
You don’t deserve to get back under my skin again, I
Wanna be deaf on that ear
Instead of scanning the atmosphere 
For a signal from you saying what I wanna hear.

Verse 2
The thing... with you… is I can never
Tell if I’m in hell or heaven, there’s saints with horns and singing devils
In… the same room…
I pull one thread, the rainbow tapestry unravels, and entangles me...

Pre-chorus
And I know I’m falling into the same trap again
With every step I take towards you,
And isn’t it appalling I can’t seem to regret it enough
To turn my back, it’s overdue.

Chorus
I wanna be like Teflon to you,
Just want you rolling off the surface
You don’t deserve to get back under my skin again, I
Wanna be deaf on that ear
Instead of scanning the atmosphere 
For a signal from you saying what I wanna hear.

Bridge
Out of sight is out of mind, until you find a way pry the window open again,
And I start running for the hills, cos it gives me chills how a part of me won't let go of the thrill of
Everything spinning, I know there’s nothing in it for me, and I’ll never win this and I just...

Double-Chorus
I wanna be like Teflon to you,
Just want you rolling off the surface
You don’t deserve to get back under my skin again, I
Wanna be deaf on that ear
Instead of scanning the atmosphere 
For a signal from you saying what I wanna hear...

I wanna be like Teflon to you,
Just wanna run away from this circus,
You don’t deserve to get back under my skin again, I
Wanna be deaf on that ear
Instead of scanning the atmosphere 
For a signal from you saying what I wanna hear.

Verse 3
The time… has come… for all the
The saints and devils in the room
To preach paradise and endless doom
And I’m… the one…
Who somehow keeps the wheel of fortune spinning,
Eternity is just beginning…

Raised By Fools

Get ready
Now pack your bags
I feel unsteady now
'Cause there's something off

The less that you know
They say it's better
But I just don't know
How things can get better
If we don't know

Stopped knowing
Right from wrong
Truth from fiction
In the lines of this song
While you were waiting
For the high to come back
Was it pushing you forwards
Or was it wolves at your back?

The less that we know
They say it's better
But I just don't know
How things can get better
If we don't know
What's going on

What's going on here?
What's going on?

Were you raised by fools?
Do you bend to their rules?
And now you're confused
How can things get better?
What can we do?

What's going on?
What's going on here?
What's going on?

Ballad of a Miserable Man   lyric and music © June 2024 by Mike Dampf.  Mandolin: Becky Sora/ Bass: David Leadbitter/ Piano: Mike Ryan/ Special thanks to The Tequila Jam Singers on chorus!

I don't really know what I want
I don't really know who I am
everything I once believed lies
like a mirage on the sand

My life's become a time-share
geckos, cocktails and sun
poolside's reserved for the angels
who know how to please number 1

So judge me if you must
I'm just a miserable man
looking for some love and pleasure
here on God's lay-away plan

We paid for this sham paradise
let the lawnmowers keep it all trim
let the palm trees keep it all shady
and let Happy Hour begin

When the jet taxis out on the runway
and the steward greets you with Death's grin
then tighten your seatbelt my lovely
what a hell of a ride it's all been

Ballad of a Miserable Man

Where Ever

Mastered by A7 Recording Studio

This songs describes where I'm at these days.

Lyrics:
You think I’ve reached the day, when things have stopped goin’ my way,
It’s scary to consider,  my feet turnin’ into clay,
But there’s that breeze, the greens of the trees,
The beauty will make my head pop so I’ll  keep
Livin’ each day, prayin’ to stay,
Keepin’ that body together.
                                           
I heard the doctor say, 
To stop skippin’ over the ocean,
You know I’ll surely pay,
For acting on every notion,
But look at the sky, the sun flyin’ by,
It’s calling me on and on so I’ll keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ that soul together.

That pile of pills seems to grow bigger every day,
If something gets me they’ll be evidence exhibit “A”,
So head for the hills, forget about wills,
Soak up all the nature and calm and just keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ it all together.

Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
          
Yeah, I heard the doctor say, 
I should stop skippin’ over the ocean,
And I’ll surely pay,
For acting on every notion,
But look at the sky, the sun flyin’ by,
It’s calling me on and on so I’ll keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ it all together.

Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.

Keepin' it All Together

Writing songs and kitchen party playing with my many musical friends ... pretty much sums it up.
