Dance Of The Excited Mongoose

      Howdy everyone! Ok I did a little reshuffling here and bumped this song to the front of the line! I just finished the video and put about a weeks work into it! It's a comic relief song, a novelty, about getting old! They say we should write about things we know, and I know about getting older!😂 I wrote the song in 2021 during the pandemic because we needed some comedy then and I think we need some comedy now too! This is something my friends and me used to say at work all the time when we'd forget something or did something stupid like ask where your glasses are when they are on top of your head!😂 I tweaked the lyrics a little and took several curse words out of the song but kept a couple in, so beware people, please don't call the Profanity Police on me! They're mild words like "shit" and "ass" nothing more than that!  There are some words of wisdom thrown in there too like in all my songs. It's just a fun song and video!

     I wrote it to a Latin Rock beat, kind of like a Santana song. I remember it took me several weeks to record the backing track because I added a ton of stuff on it Bass, Piano, Acoustic and Electric guitars, percussion, I worked very hard on it, it's all just me playing eveything with a Drum Machine because I don't play the drums. A little bit Salsa, a little bit Rock & Roll because that's how I roll!😂 The vocals are all me and I recorded them last week, I was going to have Charlie sing it but I decided to do it myself because we've been stuck on this other song for a month now and I have like 30 songs ready to go. So please forgive the vocals! The video is funny and I spent a couple weeks on that as well. It's about getting old and forgetting words and your body hurting and falling asleep, and telling kids to get off your lawn! The usual things that come with getting older. Basically "Old man yelling at clouds" syndrome!😂 I know how that is!  The video will drop on YouTube in a couple of weeks! I hope everyone laughs with me and not at me! But I won't mind as long as you laugh a little!! So sit back and have a laugh on me! Cheers! 🍻

“WE GOT THE OLDS”
          
WE GOT THE OLDS, WE GOT THE OLDS,          
OUR BODIES ACHE, WE'RE ALWAYS COLD,            
WE CAN’T STAY AWAKE,         
WE GOT THE OLDS, WE GOT THE OLDS,         
WE HATE THE RAP, CAN’T STAND THAT SHIT,         
GET OFF OUR GRASS, YOU DUMB-ASS KIDS!           
WE GOT THE OLDS, 
WE GOT THE OLDS,

THE SLIP OF TIME, TORMENTS OUR MIND,   
THE FEAR OF FATE, FUELS ALL OUR HATE,    
THE TALKING HEADS, THE WALKING DEAD,      
THE HAMMER FALLS, UPON US ALL,

WE GOT THE OLDS, WE GOT THE OLDS,         
OUR BODIES ACHE, WE'RE ALWAYS COLD,             
WE CAN’T STAY AWAKE,         
WE GOT THE OLDS, WE GOT THE OLDS,          
WE HATE THE RAP, CAN’T STAND THAT SHIT,          
GET OFF OUR GRASS, YOU DUMB-ASS KIDS!         
WE GOT THE OLDS, 
WE GOT THE OLDS,
     
THIS CLIMATE CHANGE, HAS US DERANGED,   
THE BULLETS FLY, EYE FOR AN EYE,      
CORONA COUGH, THE RICH GET OFF,      
THE FOLLY OF MAN IS WHAT GOD DEMANDS!

WE GOT THE OLDS,         
WE GOT THE OLDS,         
WE GOT THE OLDS,
           
WE HATE THE RAP, CAN’T STAND THAT SHIT,         
GET OFF OUR GRASS, YOU DUMB-ASS KIDS!      
WE GOT THE OLDS, WE GOT THE OLDS,

WE THINK WE ARE, THEREFORE WE’RE FEELING,   
OUR MIND A WAVE ON THE OCEAN OF BEING,        
DAMN, WHAT THE HELL DID WE JUST SAY?     
WE CAN’T REMEMBER DAY TO DAY!
     
WE GOT THE OLDS, WE GOT THE OLDS,         
OUR BODIES ACHE, WE'RE ALWAYS COLD,           
WE CAN’T STAY AWAKE,         
WE GOT THE OLDS,          
WE GOT THE OLDS,          
WE GOT THE OLDS.

"WE GOT THE OLDS" (Video - https://youtu.be/U--jt1-4FEY)

Forever Relentless

The flower with no name

The lies she tells are really interesting.
No one will be fooled, but.
As if to say that this is how the world is supposed to be.

No one needs the truth.
No one is listening.

Let's go look for it now, the flower with no name.

If what she said was true, the world would have been at peace.
It was a complete lie, but it was what we wanted.

There are some good lies.
The truth is not fun.

Pretend to look for, the flower with no name.

A morning without sunrise
A night without dreams.
A world with no one in it.
That's what I mean.

She seems to have lost all sense of what is true and what is false.
It's a difficult situation, but we think we might be happy.

No one needs the truth.
The truth is not fun.

Let's go look for it now, the flower with no name.
Pretend to look for, the flower with no name.

NOT THE ONLY ONE
[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

[Verse 1]
‘Cuz deep down I know, if I’m feelin’ it
You’re feelin’ the walls closing in, too
Oh, and I wonder how you’re dealin’ with it
Discerning the falsities from the true

[Verse 2]
Now, I see your broken face up on my screen
From my living room and my heart hurts
Seems in America there’s little grass that’s green
And I hate to think it’s just deserts

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh

[Verse 3]
And it’s hard to say which one of ‘em is worst
The puppets or those pulling the strings
All I know is that this country is cursed
For the greed of men and shiny things

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad-sad-sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh

[Verse 4]
And when I’m feeling I was born too late
As if those who came before us had it better
If we could travel to an earlier state
We’d find ourselves one bird of a feather

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
Oh, I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad, sad just the same
Just the same…Oh, I’m sad-sad-sad just same

I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody is suffering
Tired of playin’ the game..

Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh
Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh

Love is A Thief

Heading down the eastern road
Looking for another point of view
While im trying 
to get my head around you
-
Your love is a thief
With a heart like a clown
Turns you inside out
Throws you upside down
Like it’s been for the ages
Somethings are just meant to be
When we’re apart it breaks my heart
That’s you and me
-
Look across the countryside
Remember it in better days
Nothing ever grows  there now
They’re still waiting for the rain
-
Your love is a thief
With a heart like a clown
Turns you inside out
Throws you upside down
Like it’s been for the ages
Somethings are just meant to be
When we’re apart it still breaks my heart
That’s you and me

When we’re apart it still breaks my heart
That’s you and me

When we’re apart it still breaks my heart
Your love is a thief
