LITTLE MISS ELUSIVE
EPHEMERAL MESSIAH
YOUR MIST IS HERE A LITTLE WHILE
THEN QUICKLY DISAPPEARS
	
WHY DO I KEEP TRYING
WHEN TRYING BRINGS YOU NEAR
WOULD THAT I JUST CLOSE THE DOOR
PRETEND THAT YOU’RE NOT HERE

BRIEFER THAN THE TWINKLE IN A MAYFLY’S EYE
LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ACID THAT MELT UNDER SUN
LOVE; A BIRD OF PASSAGE IN A TRANSIENT SKY
APPEARING / DISAPPEARING LIKE THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

WHY DO I KEEP CRYING 
WHEN NO ONE SEES THE TEARS
WHY DO I KEEP REACHING OUT
WHEN NO ONE EVEN CARES

WHAT’S THE POINT OF CRYING
WHEN NO ONE SEES THE TEARS
WHEN FRANKLY DEARS DON’T GIVE A DAMN
AND LOVE IS INSINCERE

BRIEFER THAN THE TWINKLE IN A MAYFLY’S EYE
LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ACID THAT MELT UNDER SUN
LOVE; A BIRD OF PASSAGE IN A TRANSIENT SKY
APPEARING / DISAPPEARING LIKE THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

LADY PRIMADONNA 
QUENCHER OF DESIRE
RAINS ON EVERY LOVE PARADE
AND QUELLS THE INNER FIRE

INDIAN AND GIVER
EQUIVOCAL DOVE
BRINGS THE GIFT OF TROJAN LOVE
THAT TAKES YOUR WILL TO LIVE

BRIEFER THAN THE TWINKLE IN A MAYFLY’S EYE
LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ACID THAT MELT UNDER SUN
LOVE; A BIRD OF PASSAGE IN A TRANSIENT SKY
APPEARING / DISAPPEARING LIKE THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         INDIAN AND GIVER                                                                                                                                                             AMBIVALENT LOVE
WHO CAN FATHOM YOUR ORIGIN:
BELOW OR ABOVE

CHANGING LIKE THE WEATHER
AN INVISIBLE AGENDA
THE GREATER EIGHTH WONDER
AND THE GREATEST PRETENDER

BRIEFER THAN THE TWINKLE IN A MAYFLY’S EYE
LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ACID THAT MELT UNDER SUN
LOVE; A BIRD OF PASSAGE IN A TRANSIENT SKY
APPEARING / DISAPPEARING LIKE THE STAR OF BETHLHEM

WHY DO I KEEP WAKING UP 
WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE
WHY MUST I DRINK FROM THE CUP
OF OVERFLOWING TEARS

WHAT’S THE POINT OF STAYING
THE FATES ARE SO UNFAIR
MY SEVEN DAYS OF WAXING PASSED
I’VE WANED FOR SEVEN YEARS

MEAN EYE...LAZY EYE

YOU HAVE A MEAN EYE
I HAVE A LAZY EYE
YOU HAVE A THIRD EYE
BORING INTO EVERY MIND

YOU HAVE A MEAN EYE
I HAVE A LAZY EYE
YOU HAVE A THIRD EYE

TWO EYES THAT FAIL TO SEE
TWO EARS REFUSE TO HEAR
ONE MIND, ENCLOSED AND WEAK
TWO LIPS AFRAID TO SPEAK

TWO MINDS THAT NEVER MEET
ONE EGO THAT FAILED TO LEAP
ONE VOICE, THE VOICE OF SHEEP
ONE THOUGHT, A SILENT BLEAT

YOU HAVE A MEAN EYE
I HAVE A LAZY EYE
YOU HAVE A THIRD EYE

BREAK

TWO HANDS EXTEND AND GREET
TWO ARMS ADMIT DEFEAT
TWO LIMBS THAT WON'T COMPETE
ONE FLESH WITH TWO LEFT FEET

TWO FACED, BUT ONE DECEIT
FORK TONGUES, AND DOGS IN HEAT
ONE SOUL THAT WEARS CONCEIT
NO SENSE, A WORLD ASLEEP

YOU HAVE A MEAN EYE
I HAVE A LAZY EYE
YOU HAVE A THIRD EYE

MEAN EYE....LAZY EYE voc

This is what happens when madness and sanity collide ;) My tunes and lyrics would suggest my mind is a real conundrum; sound of mind and mad as a March hare, at one and the same time :)

Just a rough edit, but good enough to share. Barely any lyrics; I just repeat the same lines in various ways and voices :)

MAKE THE BED vocals are a rough edit but effective :)

BETTER DEAD THAN CELEB inst

MY MOTHER’S SON

I CLEAN FORGOT TO MEET YOUR EYES
MY EYELIDS FELL UPON YOUR FLESHY THIGHS
LET US DISPENSE WITH PERSONALITIES
I DIG YOUR BODY BUT YOU’RE BORING ME

AIN’T GOT NO TIME TO FAF ABOUT
LET’S GET THE MONEY MATTER SORTED OUT
DON’T TAKE OFFENCE, YOU’RE LITTLE MORE TO ME
JUST ANOTHER NOTCH TO FEED MY VANITY

BETTER BEWARE
FOR I’M SHALLOW OF MIND, 
IT’S TRUE
NEVER MORE SHALL I CARE
FOR I’M SO UNAWARE OF YOU

I HAVE A GIFT FOR PUTTING ON THE BITE
I BE A USER WITH A SECOND SIGHT
I ONLY WISH TO SATE MY APPETITE
I SHAME THE NAME OF EVERY PARASITE

I DRAW THE BREATH OF EVERY SAPIEN
WITH EVERY INSTINCT THAT I ACT UPON
DELIVERING A BRAND OF MEDICINE
THAT WIPES THE SMILE OF EVERYONE

BETTER BEWARE
FOR I’M SHALLOW OF MIND
IT’S TRUE
NEVER MORE SHALL I CARE
FOR I’M SO UNAWARE OF YOU

BREAK

BETTER BEWARE
FOR I’M SHALLOW OF MIND 
IT’S TRUE
NEVER MORE SHALL I CARE
FOR I’M SO UNAWARE OF YOU

A TRUTH THAT’S BETTER IN KEEPS POPPING OUT
THERE’S ONLY ONE THING THAT I CARE ABOUT
THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND MY MOTHER’S SON
I BE THE UNIVERSE TO EVERYONE

A DIRTY RAT THAT’S NEXT TO NONE
I BE THE VACANT AND THE PRETTY ONE
MUCH LIKE THE PSYLOCIBIN FULL OF FUN
I’M LIKE A POISON WITH A LOADED GUN

EMPATHY BEAR
STREAKS OF APATHY RUN ME THROUGH
NEVER MORE SHALL I CARE
FOR I’M SO UNAWARE OF YOU

DRESSED LIKE LUCIFER THE SHINING ONE
MY DARKER SIDE ECLIPSED BY THE SUN
I ENTER EACH AND EVERY UNION
CREATE THE CLIMATE OF A WONDERLAND

I SHOVEL WADS OF CHEESY CHARM
UPON THE GARGOYLE HANGIN’ OFF MY ARM
I FEED HER FLANNEL FULL OF GUFF AND BUNK
AND FIRE MY PHONEY LOVE OUT FROM A GUN

BETTER BEWARE
FOR I’M SHALLOW OF MIND
IT’S TRUE
NEVER MORE SHALL I CARE
FOR I’M SO UNAWARE OF YOU

EMPATHY BARE
STREAKS OF APATHY RUN ME THROUGH
NEVER MORE SHALL I CARE
FOR I’M SO UNAWARE OF YOU 

THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND MY MOTHER'S SON

STRAIGHT FROM BABYLON
A TWISTED SENSE OF FUN
TO BUY THE SOULS OF MICE AND MEN 
SHE SELLS MANIPULATION

A MOTHER OF A GUN
BORN OF MOON AND SUN
SOME SAY HOB’S ANTIPATHY
OF THE CHOSEN ONE

MORE THAN JUST A MAN 
SHE’S A MYSTERON
LIFE FOR HER AND FOR HER KIND
MEANS DEATH TO EVERYONE

SHE’S A MYSTERON
SHE’S A MYSTERON
SHE’S A MYSTERON
SHE’S A MYSTERON

SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN
GOLD AND ENVY GREEN
BEATS A HEART NEXT TO A HEART
THAT’S MEANER THAN THE MEAN

SHE WALKS AMONG THE WEARY ONES
THE YOUNG ONES GROWING OLD
EATS THE SOUL AND THEN CONTROLS 
THE RAT RACE AND THE SCENE

TYPHOID MARY TO A T
TRIFLES WITH HUMANITY
SYMBOLICALLY A VIRAL SEA
SHE TOUCHES EVERYBODY

SHE’S A MYSTERON
SHE’S A MYSTERON
SHE’S A MYSTERON
SHE’S A MYSTERON


SHE'S A MYSTERON

ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH ZIP-A-DEE-AY

IS THAT GLEAM IN BOTH YOUR EYES OR

THE FEARS THAT CAST THE FIRST STONE 
AND SMASHED ONE WINDOW OF YOUR SOUL

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT 
PUSH OUT THE BOAT 
AND GO….GO….GO FOR YOUR LIFE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE 
LIFE IS A JOKE

PUSH OUT THE BOAT 
AND GO….GO….GO FOR YOUR LIFE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE 
LIFE IS A JOKE 
SO GO….GO….GO FOR YOUR LIFE

GO FOR BAROQUE - MAKE CELEBRITIES HISTORY

Almost on a daily basis I am told by one Soundcloud user after another that my music is crap, that I have zero talent....what do you think? Are they right, or is it a case of sour grapes? And do you think I take it to heart :) No! What's heartbreaking for all of us is....WHEN NO ONE LISTENS!

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DOOMSDAY

WHEN YOU MEET MY EYES
WHEN YOU MEET MY EYES

DON’T TELL ME YOU FEEL LOW
WHEN YOU KNOW IT ISN’T TRUE
DON’T TELL ME THIS IS SO
WHEN YOU KNOW IT ISN’T IN YOU

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY

WHEN YOU MEET MY EYES
KIND OF LIKE A BOLT FROM THE BLUE
WHEN YOU MEET MY EYES
PENETRATING MY MIND

DON’T TELL ME THAT WE’RE THROUGH
WHEN YOU KNOW IT ISN’T TRUE
DAY OR NIGHT THE SKY IS BLUE
JUST AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY

WHEN YOU MEET MY EYES
KIND OF LIKE A BOLT FROM THE BLUE
PENETRATING MY MIND

IT’S SO DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH SORROW
LET’S WAIT UNTIL IT GOES AWAY
WOULD BE THERE IF WE FACE TOMORROW
AND THINK OF THIS ANOTHER DAY

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DOOMSDAY

THIS IS A SIDE PROJECT TO MY OWN MUSIC; THE TUNES I POST ON THIS PAGE ARE ALL OLD INSTRUMENTALS, MAINLY NORTHERN SOUL, BUT ALSO CULT THEMES--HENCE THE REASON WHY I USE THE ARTIST NAME, QUIRKY KARAOKE, AS THIS DESCRIBES THE CONCEPT EMPLOYED!

I'VE USED THE ORIGINAL MUSIC, SIMPLE WRITING LYRICS FOR IT, AND ADDING VOCALS.

ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION THAT I CAN TURN MY HAND TO, AND INTERPRET, ANY KIND OF MUSIC, ANY GENRE, EXTENDING FROM ONE END OF THE SPECTRUM TO THE OTHER!
