My Dreams

For My Listeners

At key moments in my life I have come across songs and other art forms - books, lyrics, poetry - that were exactly the right thing that I needed to help me through it. 

This is one of the reasons I do this work. 

I hope some listeners find some healing from this - this is for you.

A big thank you to Axel for approaching me for a song, and for handling this version so beautifully.

Other versions:

This song has two mixes, Axel and I decided to release one on each of our accounts. We found it hard to choose between them - but luckily we each favoured a different one(ever so slightly! - so hard to choose!), and this seemed like a great solution. 

And there is also the original Demo that I recorded in 2021.

Lyrics:
I worked up a sense of self,
Being all by myself,
Time alone,
No time with others.
.
Worked up a sense of self,
Growing up by myself,
Was time alone,
Without a mother.
.
And I know, and I know, and I know,
This is not forever. No.
And I know, and I know, we'll never be, together,
Again.
.
Oh I know, and I know, and I know,
Self made is clever. Oh.
But I know, oh I know, we'll never be,
Forever, again.
.
I worked up a sense of self,
Being all by myself.
Time alone,
No time with others.
.
Worked up a sense of self,
All by myself.
Cos time alone, means,
No time with others.
.
Come to me darling, oh oh.
To the place where the horizon meets up with the sun.
Run to me darling, my dear.
Drift away so we can play,
In Neverland.
.
No no no, no no, no no.
No no no, no no, no no.
.
I worked up a sense of self,
Being all by myself.
Time alone,
No time with others.
.
I worked up a sense of self,
Being all by myself.
Time alone,
Without you!
.
Don't say you love me, no oh oh oh.
Cos I see the look in your eyes and I know.
Don't say you love me no oh oh oh.
Cos I miss you more when you're next to me than when you, go.
.
Time alone, oh oh.
Time alone, oh oh.
Time alone, no time with others, no.
Time alone in Neverland.
.

My Girl's Got to Dance

My diabolical behavior 
Have you ever felt a butterflies wings
Do you feel safe today
I think so
I don’t know

$afe Today

Melody lazy feeling. ( 1996 ) Eddy Mango - Margareta Theorin ( Eddy )

The song idea all started with Toney's latest car insurance bill, went up $150 in one clip; no accidents nor infractions, THUS.....
GREEDY SUM-GUNS
V1
Well, you know this country is run by banks and corporations
Nickel and dimin’ us on top ‘a all the rules and regulations
Now, I got my automobile insurance bill today
A hundred-fifty bucks more and all I do is pay an’ pay

[Chorus]
Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole
Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul
And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies
Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history

V2
Took a little trip to the grocery store, twenty bucks more than the week before
Now, the county tax collector, he’s ‘a knockin’ down my door
And I got a stack ‘a doctor bills, I’ll be dead before I can pay
Then they'll take my kids’ inheritance; that's the American way, yeah

[Chorus]
Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole
Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul
And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies
Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history

V3
And I’m prayin’ for the day when the pyramid topples to the ground
Prayin’ for the day the one-percent can no longer be found
‘Cuz there’s enough gold and Bitcoin to go around for everyone
And I heard it through the grapevine the dirty rats are on the run

[Chorus]
Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole
Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul
And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies
Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history

[Music]

[Chorus]
Yeah, those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole
Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul
And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies
Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone
Bygone
Bygone history!

GREEDY SUM-GUNS

To Arthur

The humans best friend
This most intuitive canine blend
Black and White
You read our clean
Just one scan and our fear speaks scene

Pure, inate
Completely tuned
Give you simple love
Perfect cartoon
The dogs life around here
The freest soul that Earth can steer
Caring humans loving hound
Tamed wolf so tepid
True instinct found

 We over think
We over do
You give us walk
You fetch out blue
Play with us forever friend
Teach us how to read our blend
Lend us your intuitive flare
To Arthur,
We are dog with dare
Pairs to packs
Evolution playbacks
Did we choose you?
Did you choose us?
Either way we're friendship plus

To Arthur

To Arthur (Poem and Notes)

Thanks for tuning in.  Stripped Down, Raw and Real songs complete with flaws are what you'll find here.  Write on, Songsters! 

Much love from the USA,
