(Lyrics)
Coke and booze, oh, what to choose?
Sometimes I'll have to snooze.
Oh what am I do-ing right there?
You know, now they're all gone up in the air.
Du du du du...
Du du du du...

Baby come rockin' right around my boat
Now baby you're gonna be the host.
Of something's goin' right now in my mind.
But I know now, it's really out of sight.

Endless parties ever, this summer
You know it's never gonna end.
How can I stop this game?
The games of love, everybody knows.
La la la la...
La la la la...

Baby just come right up to me
Baby it's not so hard to see.
Of something's goin' on in my mind.
I know now, baby it's out of sight.

Baby come rockin', rock my heart
Please tell us that we are now worlds apart.
Or anything's goin' on in my life.
You know how I'm really out of mind.

Coke and booze, what to choose?
So, you know, sometimes I have to choose.
What I just been doing for a while.
You know I'm not too blind to see.

Baby, come rockin' my boat.
Baby, you're gonna be the host.
Of something's really goin' on my mind.
But I know now, it's really out of sight.
Du du du du...
Du du du du...

Come Rockin' My Heart (Coke & Booze)

Written: June 23, 2021.
Recorded: July 25, 2021. 
Overdubbed: July 28, 2021.
Session: JBG.

Special thanks to "Give Me Strength" by Neil Young (1976) for the inspirations. Coincidentally, this song is about his ex-wife, Carrie Snodgress, and mine was about a failed relationship... once again.

Some notes about this recording:
"I recorded it on Sunday July 25 just a couple of minutes before that German bitch, namely Ann blocked me for nothing. Hey, if you were not so sure what the fuck you were doing there on the dating site, why bother liking my profile for??? -Mikey"

Mikey Ramone: vocal, acoustic guitar
Pepper Flakes: mixing engineer, producer.

(Lyrics)
Have I ever told you, I've loved you with all my heart?
It's so beautiful, the glowing sky...
And you know, we will never part.

Till the night is gone
Till the clock stop ticking
Till the day we are all one
Let me be your everything.

Come closer, let me smell your hair
Let me taste your lips
Let us enjoy this moment
Together, we'll have a kiss.

Till the night is gone
Till the clock stop ticking
Till the day we are all one
Let me be your everything.

Till the day we are together
It's now or never...

Till the day is gone by
Till the star is shining bright
Till the time we have all grown
There's no doubt, we are all one.

(Just let me be your man)

**Lyrics**
Tell me why you ain't comin' home?
Tell me how, ain't you been alone?
Tell me how can you bring this baby home?
Tell me sum, how can you find someone to love?

Tell me how can you live through this?
Tell me why can you love me like this?

Tell me why you ain't comin' home?
Tell me how, ain't you been alone?
Tell me how can you live through this?
Tell me how can you hate me like this?

Tell me how'd you bring this baby home?
Tell me sum, can you find someone to love?

**Lyrics**
May God bless you another day
May He show you the brightest light
Now you are on your own way 
And you're lost and don't know what to say.

If I was there with you
I would hug you tight, treat you right
I would love you, babe, until the day that I'd die.
I mean it, and there's nothing from me 
That I can really hide.

May the Lord bless you, and be your Savior
May The Force be with you, there couldn't be another
I love you until the end, but I don't know how
We can still be staying together.

If I was there with you
I would hug you tight, treat you right
I would love you, babe, until the day that I'd die.
I mean it, and there's nothing from me 
That I can really hide.

God Bless You (May He Shine You The Brightest Light)

(Lyrics)
Sometimes I get the feelin'
Get some feelin' 
Like we could die.
Like we could lie. 
Sometimes I get the feelin'
Just look at the ceilin'
Thinkin' about you.
Oh - Why you're so cruel?

Maybe someday I will see you down the road
But then I start to feel like
I cannot stop thinkin' about you
Start fallin' in love with you.

But - I walked up to you
Thinkin' about your happy days
I walked out on you
Dreamin' about the golden days.

Sometimes I get the feelin'
Just look at the ceilin'
Thinkin' about you.
Oh - Why you're so cruel?
Get some feelin'
Like we could die, like we could lie?

Oh, one day you came up to me
You asked me how I'd feel?
You asked me a question about my feelings
They're all real. 

Maybe someday I will see you down the road
I'm so afraid of myself
I'm just an imposter
Cannot make things better
I was so afraid to fallin' in love with you
Again...

Maybe I Will See You Down The Road (Get The Feelin')

Recorded February 20, 2022.
Overdubbed: March 5, 2022. 
Session: New home studio (District 8).

**Lyrics**
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe you were right
Maybe we can talk about it
Through the night

You take your love
You threw it away
Now you come back
Asking me to stay?

Maybe I was born
To not being with you
Maybe I was born
To play some tunes

You take your time
You called it a day
Now you turned dark
Asking me to pay?

Pepper Flakes - additional echo effects, mixing & producing
