i was smokin'
you were dreamin'
and we were rollin'
on old ring road

out of the city
into the misty
on to the hillside
and the sun shone whole
 
i was tokin'			
you were dreamin'
you saw the martyrs
the prophets of old
not even broken
not even wounded
imposters 
on old ring road

(interlude)

These white lines
my pandemic
but what i need is	
more academic		

don't need weed		 
fuck the booze 		
feel so bad i  			
need a new tattoo 		

we are snow blind	
we are dreamin'
a roller coaster ride		
out on the open sea 		
we could wake up normal
we could wake up clean 	
on old ring road
we can always dream

Old Ring Road

On Old Ring Road

Written by Robert Hutchins, produced and mixed by Steve Galloway (StevieG).

The song describes the lives of the homeless and addicted in a downtown city neighbourhood from their perspective.

For Jean's retirement  - Cheers !
Lyrics:
He’s got the key to retirement
Billed out and bound to go
Gotta leave here running 
Walking is much too slow

He was working for Mitel
But to see the world was the prize
Though the application process
Was onerous in his eyes

After 3 years he made it,
But at half his previous rate
His first Temporary Duty was 
Enough to seal his fate

Though his posting to DC
Got him out of the shop
Getting married on the roof, man
Is awfully hard to top

His thoughtful long pauses
Make you anxious thru and thru 
Is it really contemplation
Or is he about to fire you

He came in at the right time
Technology about to change
With MITNET expanding
The department wouldn’t be the same
 
He spent seven years in Paris
As team lead and RTM
Many TDs and travel
Kept him occupied until then

Instrumental to ESMAIT
You committed to see it through
Keeping two groups happy
Was not so easy to do

Upwardly mobile,
You never missed a beat
A Master’s of Leadership
Put you in the front seat

He moved on from DFAIT
As IRB’s CIO
To modernize the bureau was
The only way to go

Hey Jean, we’re gonna miss you
Neither place will be the same
But we’ll have memories and emails
And policies that bear your name

You got the key to retirement
Billed out and bound to go
Gotta leave here running, man
Cause walking is much too slow

JC Key to Retirement

We are little
but we never know
a story growing old
yet needed be told

In another lifetime
another life
when our voices
just multiply

Away we steer
until we disappear
like tiny petals 
empty cradles
like sand like pebbles

Look out for another
look out for all the others
when the moon is in June
you’ll never settle

Red Eye

,be a virtuous criminal
,be a good enemy
,universe tends toward complexity
,truth is difficult to see
,do we know
,when we’re wrong
,do we know it all along
,that is the question
,on this red eye flight tonite 

>>interlude<<

,we always knew that the real thing
,was the strangest thing 
,that we would ever know
,we just catch on with the new wave
,its the next wave
,and it will take us home

,i hear you sold the sahara
,dust from the street that invented you
,you walk on just like some homeless moses
,to the temple where the devil worships you
,and we knew
,it was wrong 
,knew it all along 
,still we all ride on 
,this red eye flight tonite.

Red Eye

keep on rainin' all day long
garbage in - garbage out
(its a) delicate matter
take your breath away
ever since the rain came to stay 

keep on rainin' all night long
same old same old same old song
(its a) desparate matter
all the jobs are gone
ever since the rain came to town

(we're gonna) climb that mountain
mmm straight and long
gonna find a place in the sun
take all the sadness and
pin it to the sky
leave it all behind and move on

keep on rainin' over the worl'
every day is the day before
its an urgent matter
but time moves so slow 
and now the rain won't let go

...won't let go

Lockdown (Keep On Rainin')

Title/topic paraphrased from something I had seen on Reddit. 
Thanks to looperman.com and u/DeMooz for the drum loops.

Cheeseburgers and Treason

The orange man has left the building, Elvis couldn't wait
He got no second chances, it's time to celebrate
But he's still firing off his rounds, and tweeting day and night
And he ain't calling off his hounds, that shit just isn't right
The guy was never made for this, he's fundamentally bad
Cheeseburgers and Treason was all you ever had

His lying and his cheating, well, that takes some kinda nerve
He puts donors in positions that they just don't deserve
Advisors try to tell him, he doesn't listen once
He calls himself a genius, but I think he's a dunce
He's been seen with pedophiles, and he thinks his daughter's hot,
Cheeseburgers and Treason was all you ever got

When you're walking out the door, don't let it hit your ass
We're hoping your replacements have a little bit more class
Head off to the golf course, or hide in your hotel
For more than half the country wants you to go to hell
But I hope they come to get you, I hope they do not fail
Cause Cheeseburgers and Treason could send you off to jail
