COOP Lyrics

His is about some dude on a beach....😉 

Lyrics;
People looking for me
in some other place
FBI on the news
Have you seen this face?

There's no TV'S here
Just sand and some waves
And my beard's getting long
Cause I haven't shaved

I'm on the run
Reclined in this chair
Just a guy with some time
And lots of money to spare

Got my feet to the sea
Umbrella for shade
Cold drink in my hand
Yeah, I've got it made

Some dude on the beach
Nobody cares
A guy on the run
could be anywhere

A notorious criminal
Daredevil I hear
Biding his time
Til the coast is all clear

I used to play by the rules
With the suit and a tie
Regular citizen
Real stand up guy

But after some time
The air got too stale
And my colorful world
Began to grow pale

So I took a leap
On a cold rainy night
And just disappeared
And I'm still out of sight

Yeah, I'm on the run
Reclined in this chair
Just a guy with some time
And lots of money to spare

Just some dude on the beach
Nobody cares
A guy on the run
Could be anywhere

The sun's burning hot
And I've got a fresh tan
I'm living the life
Of a real wanted man

I used to play by the rules
With the suit and a tie
Regular citizen
Real stand up guy

Got my feet to the sea
Umbrella for shade
Cold drink in my hand
Yeah, I've got it made

COOP

noxpox - water shortness

Work Plan 194 BPM

When that title slipped into my mind it was all go and the early verse work felt bluesy with certainly blue notes to sing. The chorus wrote itself around the title with jazz chords. Changing key to the variation was natural enough but quite a long journey back to the verse again.

Art in her Bones

Out on the left - she’s made it her home
Some think she’s weird – and likely getting’ stoned alone
But I’m on the hook - just reel me in
It’s the art in her bones - that makes her what she seems to be
The art in her bones - makes a thrill inside of me 

Sometimes at night- she wakes from a dream
She runs to her paint – got to liberate that scene
Then after an hour - she’s layin’ back down
It’s the art in her bones . . .

She don’t deal with accounts and rates and supermarkets
She’s driftin’ through hazy lanes and blocks of colour
And something someone said three nights ago
She put that friend in embargo
Gotta work it through on canvas - then they’ll thaw in a tryst

They’ll work it out – those ladies of rhyme
They just need the moon – to tell them when the time is right
And me I can wait – for that special night

When she gives she’s layin over us 
Starlight curves across her body real – we’re playin’ seals
Lazy floppy as the sunlight grows
We talk of us as forever – and after that still together
Neath the door’s a gentle zephyr

Hey let us rise – it’s quarter to one
In the café - love our whacky talkie fun
The way she sees things – my soul it just sings

poem / copyright jo richter:

the open book is not a metaphor
you feel its weight as you hold it
text, texture, eerily gossamer
translucent when properly lit

you flip the pages forth and back
adapting your mental state
inhaling white, deciphering black
creating approaches to recreate

when something strikes you, bold
a perspective that's never been yours
you circle around it, trying to hold
its flight, detect where it moors

stubbornly liminal, elusively real
sheer force to broaden your scope
to include it, allow it to heal
from your onslaught, allow you to cope

catching up on the fine print
concludes your reading session
shivering still from a catching a glint
of mind's light when in transgression
