Lyrics:

He would arrive at half past four
He took the garbage beside my door
He said I can’t talk of it anymore
In my mind, there is always war
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
 
He carried the bags in his hands
Filled with bodies from the jungle land
He called at night, said do you understand
What could I say to the burning lamb
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
 
He’s not going be on the next train
He’s not going to come in from the pouring rain
He’s not going to give his kind regards
It’s really, really too hard
 
He came home no one cared
He had a face crippled by wear
Memories of those lads placed on his back
All that weight too much to ask
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Because Joe is still in Vietnam

Joe Is Still In Vietnam

FIRST SNOW (Lyrics)
Verse 1
I said; hey Doctor,
 I don`t feel fine.
I do not drink
 and I never get high! 
Verse 2
You are a university graduate.
Wearing the white coat.
What do you recommend?
I´m sure you`re a clever and wise man. 
Verse 3
Please send me to rehab.
Or what should I do?
I'm going round in circles.
I can't find peace for me too.
Verse 4
I'm not drunk.
I am sober.
I don't do drugs.
I hate the stuff.
Do you have anything that does the trick?
Give it to me!
Pre-Chorus 1
It must be good if you recommend it!
I fell for it.
I trusted him.
It's hard to believe.
Bad medicine, it was like my first snow. 
Verse 5
Good that I am strong.
I know it was so wrong.
I am so scared.
Practically I took snow!
Verse 6
I can't sue him.
His intentions good.
Still, I feel betrayed.
He gave me the first snow.
Practically he gave me snow.
Pre-Chorus  2
It must be good if you recommend it!
I fell for it.
I trusted him.
It's hard to believe.
Bad medicine, it was like my first snow. 
Bridge
Now I will feel very bad.
I will always be sceptical.
From today and forever, no more trust.
I can hardly believe what has happened.  
It blows my mind. 
Blows my mind……
Outro
Oh no Doctor!
You gave me snow!
Oh no Doctor!
You gave me snow!
It blows my mind.
It blows my mind.
He gave me snow.

Lyrics

Oh, ohh
Well, well,
There are many things, that we can talk about
And there are lots of things
And there are lots of things that we don’t talk about
And there are some things
There are some things completely covered out
And there are not many things
And there are not many things that i would sing out loud
Not so many things

And when I close my eyes
It's nearly out of sight
And when I plug my ears
the words are barely to hear
And when i shut my mouth
There’ll be no coming out
Without a mouth
There’ll be no coming out, (3)
No…

Well, there’s so many things, we can’t talk about
And there’s so many things we’ll never figure out
But there is one thing, i love to sing out loud
But there is one thing,

But there is one thing,
I’d love to sing out loud
I love to sing out loud…

One Thing (collab with Xian3)

I CAN NOT BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE...BABY
I CAN NOT DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO...BABY
I COULD NEVER WALK THROUGH FIRE FOR YOU
I COULD NEVER DO THE THINGS YOU ASK ME TO
I AIN’T NO MUNTER, MORON, HUH
I AIN’T NOTHIN’ LIKE YOU

YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK, THE WAY I TALK,
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH
THOUGH YOU ARE HAVING FUN NOW
I WILL ESCAPE YOU SOMEHOW

DON’T TRY TO MAKE EXCUSES
DON’T COME IT WITH THOSE LIES
YOU ALWAYS WERE ABUSIVE
BUT NEVER TOLD ME WHY

I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID
I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
FOR ALL ETERNITY CONFINED TO MY BED
I’LL KILL YOUR MEMORY, AND SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

MY MEMORY IS HAZY
MY THOUGHTS A DEEPER BLUE
MY DIAGNOSIS, CRAZY,
AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

THOSE MANIC MOMENTS PHASED ME
THE AIR WAS TURNING BLUE
ATTEMPTING TO ERASE ME
WITH THE CHINA THAT YOU THREW

I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID
I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
FOR ALL ETERNITY, CONFINED TO MY BED,
I’LL KILL YOUR MEMORY,
AND SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

NOW I SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK
THE WAY I TALK
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH

THOUGH YOU ARE HAVING FUN NOW
I WILL ESCAPE YOU SOMEHOW


MY MEMORY IS HAZY
MY THOUGHTS A DEEPER BLUE
MY DIAGNOSIS, CRAZY,
AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

THOSE MANIC MOMENTS PHASED ME
THE AIR WAS TURNING BLUE
ATTEMPTING TO ERASE ME
WITH THE CHINA THAT YOU THREW

I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID
I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
FOR ALL ETERNITY, CONFINED TO MY BED,
I’LL KILL YOUR MEMORY,
AND SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

I CAN’T BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I CAN’T DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
I COULD NEVER WALK THROUGH FIRE FOR YOU
I COULD NEVER DO THE THINGS YOU ASK ME TO

I WOULDN’T IF YOU PAID ME
YOU’RE NOT THE CHOSEN FEW
REMIND ME OF A BABY
ONE WEEK BEFORE IT’S DUE
LIKE MISSES NOSFERATU
BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
YOU PROVE THAT EVERY NIGHTMARE
EVENTUALLY COMES TRUE

I CANNOT BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I CANNOT DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK
THE WAY I TALK
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH

THOUGH YOU ARE HAVING FUN NOW
I WILL ESCAPE YOU SOMEHOW

MY MEMORY, HAZY
MY THOUGHTS, A DEEPER BLUE
MY DIAGNISIS, CRAZY
AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

I CAN’T BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I CAN’T DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
I COULD NEVER WALK THROUGH FIRE FOR YOU
I COULD NEVER DO THE THINGS YOU ASK ME TO
I AIN’T NO MUNTER
I AIN’T NO MORON
I AIN’T NOTHING, NOTHING LIKE YOU

DON’T TRY TO MAKE EXCUSES
DON’T COME IT WITH THOSE LIES
YOU ONLY WERE ABUSIVE
BUT NEVER EXPLAINED WHY

YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK
THE WAY I TALK
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH

SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

Right Next To You
By: Matt Menovcik

V1 
It was just another day
The sunshine, the routine
Walking these steps the same way
Lost in a world you’ve always seen

V2
You were out just living life
The people, the atmosphere
When a sight turns your day to night
And you open your eyes to this moment 

C
And you see all around you
And you see so many lives out there 
It’s all intertwined and related 
It feels so far, but it’s right next to you 

V3
You find yourself in the dark
The beauty, the mystique
Living life with a broken heart
And you surrender to this moment 

C

Br
You find yourself back home 
And everything’s the same 
Except you 
You’ll never be the same 
You’ll never be the same 
Again 

C
Next to you
Next to you
Next to you

Next To You (featuring background vocals by Malissia)

Thanx to Leonard Scaper for helping me out with the lyrics

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
