Ghost In My Room

February

#10 of the "What Will Love Be Like?" album. I can't even remember what this song was about when it was a protest song except they ALL were against war and racism. Come mastering time, it morphed into the perfect last song of the first Nikki album because she was a champion swimmer and we spent lots of time in her pool. She looks hotter than a sea otter's daughter when you spot her when she's underwater! Love is wet. Literally sometimes. Electric 12-string.

The Shape I'm In

That Train

Blue Sky

The tax man's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yacht,
He's taken everything I've got,
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa,
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me, help me, help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

The Village Green

Sunny Afternoon

Here's wishing you the bluest sky, 
And hoping something better comes tomorrow. 
Hoping all the verses rhyme, 
And the very best of choruses to 
Follow all the doubt and sadness. 
I know that better things are on the way. 

Here's hoping all the days ahead 
Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you. 
Be an optimist instead, 
And somehow happiness will find you. 
Forget what happened yesterday, 
I know that better things are on the way. 

It's really good to see you rocking out 
And having fun, 
Living like you just begun. 
Accept your life and what it brings. 
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things. 
I know tomorrow you'll find better things. 

Here's wishing you the bluest sky, 
And hoping something better comes tomorrow. 
Hoping all the verses rhyme, 
And the very best of choruses to 
Follow all the doubt and sadness. 
I know that better things are on the way. 

I know you've got a lot of good things happening up ahead. 
The past is gone it's all been said. 
So here's to what the future brings, 
I know tomorrow you'll find better things. 
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.

Better Things

Celluloid Heroes (with Prelude Intro)

The Village Green - A Tribute to The Kinks presents:  NO BUDGET.  Our second album, a spoof of the Kinks album Low Budget.  We literally had no budget for this album and so it could also be named ALL PROFITS.  However, any profits made from this cover album are being donated to the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter, our benefactor.  Long Live The Kinks.

No Budget

Living On A Thin Line

I make music in almost all styles including one of my own. I grew up next to the Mojave Desert in orange-growing country and moved to Hollywood twice and then moved to the ocean and organic farming in Santa Cruz. I love Bach...
