As I Roved Out (Rendition of a song by Planxty)

lyrics and music written and composed by jack randell and daryl taylor (at the farm in essex county, canada)
produced by raven jak (jack randell)
recorded by jack randell
instrumentation performed by raven jak (jack randell)

heaven knows hell and she's gonna take you there
i think she's dumb but she's still having fun
a life lesson for everyday life
i'll stay right here with this broken butter knife

i hope i might, you better know your signs
gentle flight, i'm right, i'm right, i'm right

doctor's persistence gives one the remedy
stitch up one with all of serenity
gentle cradle snatcher senses broken porcelain 
solemn nurses slow down kaleidoscope pain 

i hope i might, you better know your signs
gentle flight, i'm right, i'm right, i'm right
for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

heaven knows hell but she's not gonna take you there
i think she's smart like naive when we 'first start'
whispers menthol-ate to produce a fresh mind
clogging every artery as all left behind

i hope i might, you better know your signs
gentle flight, i'm right, i'm right, i'm right

for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

for the whole damn night, turning on the same old light
anyone can tell that it's bright, 
because i don't rely too much on my sight

i am glad we managed to channel and slow the wild stampede of horses
you should've seen them hurtling toward the edge of that high gorge
I'm glad we managed to channel and slow the wild stampede of horses hurtling towards the edge of a very high gorge
saving many lives, very high gorge, every time
every time, saving many lives, every time, very high gorge

tiny tracks, tiny macs, tiny hacks, tiny backs
tiny snacks, tiny knacks, tiny clacks, tiny plaques
tiny tracks, tiny flacks, tiny racks
tiny syntax, tiny SEMTEX
tiny tax, tiny lacks
tiny jacks. tiny jacks. tiny jacks. tiny jacks. tiny jacks..? tiny jaaaacks?

i am glad we managed to channel and slow the wild stampede of horses
hurtling towards the edge of that very high gorge
saving many lives, every time

i am glad we managed to channel and slow the wild stampede of horses
hurtling towards the edge of that very high gorge
saving many lives, every time
saving many lives, every time
saving many lives

i am glad we managed to channel and slow the wild stampede of horses
hurtling towards the edge of that very high cliff!
(very deep gorge)
"straight over the edge."
all of 'em.....probably didn't even see it coming.

very high gorge, saving lives, every time

Recorded 1st by Oasis

RIP Earth. Sorry folks. Djrink and Plant if i were you.
Peace & Love. 

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
And by now, you should've somehow realised what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And backbeat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you
And by now, you should've somehow realised what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)

I.... I can't. I can't make..... my....Mind
I can't......make my Mind 'up'.
I can't..... make my Mind up. My Mind up

I didn't see it.... I didn't see it that forward through
I didn't see it that forward.... through

'I'M AN ABSOLUTE FUCK-UP!'

Because i didn't give my time to you 

:'( 

</3

Mother told me to 'Never sniff glue.'
Mother told me to 'NEVER sniff glue.'

I'm gonna keep on going my path on through
I have all regrets my life on through...

'Well Fuck You! Life!'
'Well fuck you, life.'

Morals and ethics stand true

I'm gonna keep on going my path on through
I have all regrets my life on through

Well, Fuck You, Life. Morals and Ethics stand true
stand true...
they stand true.

A Winter ray of Star shine
A warm soothing drink
An indescribable connection 
To a being who made me think

branching out to touch the freeze
they sway as they try to miss the invisible blanket of needles
but without much luck!... gazing at their rotting seasonal beauty
it makes me ponder....? how they ever stayed warm?
fields of rows
rows of brittle beans and stalks
skies full of black
crying undertakers
it all makes sense now...
why the sky looks empty and abandoned
isolated
giving off the impression that the needled ones will live
and the rest will -     !!!!! ......
July was their flourishing month
but now they will laugh no more...
for they have been pushed around, beaten, tossed, and turned.

STRIPPED FROM THEIR FULLNESS AND BODY!!
STRIPPED FROM THEIR FULLNESS AND BODY!!!!
STRIPPED FROM THEIR FULLNESS AND BODY!!!!!!

BY EARTH'S BREATH! BY EARTH'S BREATH! BY EARTH'S BREATH!
BY EARTH'S BREATH!! BY EARTH'S BREATH. BY EARTH'S BREATH..
By Earth's breath.

buds  do grow again
and the leaves will grow
again....

stand tall, solid one,
stand tall, and proud,
stand tall, solid one,
stand tall and proud

reach from the skies
breathe the frequent winds
drink from the ground
feed from the bins

stand tall, tall solid one
stand tall, tall and proud
stand tall, solid one
stand tall, tall and proud

roam the endless fields 
live on the season's Brambles
without any single sound
another old dead tree falls

stand tall, solid one
stand tall, and proud
stand tall, tall solid one
stand tall, tall and proud

help is on it's way
to tame the wild and stray
help already here
to pick the buds of May

why do i know? why do i know the way?
why do i know? why do i know the way?
why do i know?? why do i know the way?
why do i know?? why do i know the way...?

stand tall, solid one
stand tall, solid and proud
stand tall tall and proud
stand tall, and proud!
stand tall, so solid one and

My great muscle of bleed and flow
broke and scattered in shattered vase style
my heart is damaged and in pieces on the floor
so for my heartbreak i find Love
my walking limbs of ware and tare
trip and fall heavy on my journey over road bumps
my journey is slow. from losing my footings!
so for my failure? i find my grip on success.
my moments are slow and grey, slouched and cobwebbed
time matters. sometimes sounds and feels like it slows me down therefore: my time is gathered, not wasted, 
and enjoyed, not "unenjoyed"
so for my borrrrrrrrrrredom: i find excitement!
my realities have been sharp and prickish
pinned and needled, to my buoyant balloon of life
it's my "sharpness of my reality bursts other balloons"
False.
so for my realities, i find them dreams
Good dreams.
with illness, i will find health.
with sadness, i will find happiness.
with death, i will find life.

Treated Like 'Tontoe' - 13:01:2024, 05.36

A girl in my class in high school sung it to me twice, most of it stayed in my head, this is my depiction of the piece, I wrote what I could remember on paper and attempted to remember the chords and structure. this is how I remember it, loosely.

kitchen work wasn't my area
energy saving work was simple, just sleep
wood work was the wood
cleaning work smells
food is hard to appreciate
utilities make a good argument
cooking will mostly be beans
hunting nothing worth killing
money makes me a rich man

care, where? nobody cares
