RUNAWAY STARS - THE UNEXPURGATED CODE

We have a duty to be here
Without us
Who'd see the runaway stars
Who could walk along the beach
Look for seventh waves
And feel the wind up high
We sit and talk all
Through the night
Travel our world and share our castaway finds

We have a duty to be here
To hear the song
Feel the heart of forever
Burning holes within black holes

There is a reason
To turn the page
Quantum runes feed today’s exit phase
We burned new colours
On Launchpad Love
In earthquake sofas seeking twigs from the dove

We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars

Inside our bubble
We heard your tongue
Repeating echoes paraphrase the song

Break

We burnt new colours
On Launchpad Love
In earthquake sofas seeking twigs from the dove

And we have a duty to be here
Without us who would see the runaway stars

Solo

Without us who'd see the runaway stars

And we have a purpose
To exist to hear the song
Feel the heart of forever
Burning holes within black holes

Don’t lay down and rest now
Lift your head
The stars change colour as they drift past your bed
The Sun is expanding
Eternal night
May return to shield our escape flight

We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars

And we have a duty to be here
Without us
Who would see the runaway stars
Who would see the runaway stars
Who would count the runaway stars

Antiquated Mantras

I, I got one I love so much
I got one I love so much
Hold her tight whispering sweet nothings
I can’t let go

Monday morning stretching out and yawning
Stretching out and yawning
Splash my face, get some coffee
In my robe

Maybe if I could find someone
To explain it
Maybe if I could find someone
Then I’d understand how lucky I am

Friday night nestled in your arms
Nestled in your arms
Another week gone isn’t lost
Weekend begun

Maybe if I could find someone
To explain it
Maybe if I could find someone
Then I’d understand how lucky I am

Felt like giving up
Throwing in the towel
Giving up is something that
I’ve never done

Maybe if I could find someone
To explain it
Maybe if I could find someone
Then I’d understand how lucky I am

I Felt like giving up
Throwing in the towel
Giving up is something that
I’ve never done

Lyrics:

1
You feel a little restless, have no peace of mind
Your head is spinning, worries made you blind
Take a little moment, see the flowers on the ground
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

2
You feel a little stressed, so much to do
Nothing can wait, it's all waiting for you
Take a little moment, and listen to the birds
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

3
You feel a little sorry, words should have been said
But you couldn't get out, what was inside
Take a little moment, and say it to your heart
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

Some Peace Of Mind

Here's a brand new song written for one of our most beloved billionaires ever! He is one of the worst human beings that has ever lived, in my opinion! He's not even an elected official yet he's destroying our country in huge chunks, hurting innocent children, vets, minorities, and the elderly. Taking a chainsaw to our way of life! This is a fun little parody of one of the most hated people in our lifetime. I will not make a video for this one, I think we've seen enough of his face! Charlie really plays a mean harmonica on this one too! There is some profanity in this song which I normally don't use but I couldn't help myself! Here's to the Chainsaw Boy!

“ELON MUSK"

I NEED JUSTICE, I NEED SHAME,
I NEED SOMEONE THAT I CAN BLAME,
WISH HIM WELL THEN THROW HIS DUMB ASS UNDER THE BUS,  
HEY I AIN'T TRYIN' TO BE AN ASSHOLE,
I’LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ELON MUSK,
              
I NEED WHISKEY, I NEED BEER,
NEED SOMEONE TO GET ME OUTTA HERE, 
GETTING TO THE POINT THAT I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO I CAN TRUST,
HEY I AIN'T TRYIN' TO BE AN ASSHOLE,
I’LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ELON MUSK,

[LEAD] OK, CHAINSAW BOY!

I NEED WEED, I NEED GAS,
NEED THESE POLITICIANS TO KISS MY ASS,
HISTORY ALWAYS PROVES STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES,
HEY I AIN'T TRYIN' TO BE AN ASSHOLE,
I’LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ELON MUSK,
   
I NEED MONEY, I NEED LUCK,
NEED A LEADER THAT GIVES A F-F-F-F@#K, 
THERE’S JUST NO JUSTICE ANYMORE, HELL I GUESS THERE NEVER WAS,
HEY I AIN'T TRYIN' TO BE AN ASSHOLE,
I’LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ELON MUSK,
NO I AIN’T TRYIN' TO BE NO ASSHOLE,
THAT CROWN BELONGS TO ELON MUSK,
OUR NON-ELECTED ELON MUSK!

"ELON MUSK"

Loosely based on the traditional song.  120 bpm. (Painting: Manuel M. Remartinez)

Loch Lomond (Interpretation)

New song recorded tonight.

Last night I opened up the window
as streetlight stood in for the moon
across your skin a summer breeze was filtered through the trees
announced by flickered candlelight

and I wondered is this you and me asleep in childhood dreams
or just another night
are we a wishful vision cried into a pillow
after a long and bitter fight

well its a high price paid just to be here
two poor tired souls... in a golden moment

tonight I open up the window
as moonlight calls out for our dreams
across the sky I hear a voice from somewhere far away
hello and thank you for the day

and I wondered is this you and me asleep in childhood dreams
or just another night
are we a wishful vision cried into a pillow
after a long and bitter fight

well its a high price paid just to be here
two poor tired souls... in a golden moment

Golden Moment

Individu Elle

Ce soir-là ma chère
Vos yeux d'un bleu si clair
Votre sourire fugitif
M’ont fait un mal de chien


Tout à coup devant moi
J’ai vu ce vide immense
Que laisse votre absence
Dans mon inassou-vie


Tant d'années de recherches
Pour en arriver là
Tant d'années dépassées
Qui n'attendent que moi


Comme une vague tu avances
Tu ondules tu balances
Et je crains ta puissance
Et je hais ta violence


Ballotté par tes humeurs
Comme à ma dernière heure
Il n’me reste qu'à prier 
Vais-je encore m’échouer ?


Tant d'années de recherche
Pour en arriver là
Tant d'années dépassées
Et qui n'existent pas


Et enfin cette idée
Qui s'impose à moi
Tu es tu as
Tout ce qu'il me manque


Ce soir-là ma chère 
Vos yeux d'un bleu si clair
Votre sourire fugitif 
M’ont fait un mal de chien
 
M’ont fait un mal de chien

I am a retired Costco Wholesale worker, 3 years now in January 2025, I’ve been playing music for 45 years. I like to write and record my own songs in my home bedroom studio. I play the guitars and bass, do all the singing, and have world class drummers from EZDrummer3 on all these songs. The song lyrics are from my head and heart. I hope to make more music soon so check back every so often👍
