Just a little message of how to keep your mindset healthy in spite of challenges and things out of your control.

Don't Get Angry

A pop-ska tune I wrote, with Joe Little on vocals. For all you buskers out there . . . and all you girls who need a guy who can make you laugh.

LYRICS:

I got no money, I’m broke
I got no money, I’m broke
But a smile’s worth something
Yeah, a smile’s worth something

You think I’m dirty and cheap
I play and sing on the street
Sometimes you stop and listen
Laugh but give me nothing.

You say
Boy, why you wasting your life away, but
Pretty baby I’m happy every day
Singing

Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na
Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na
Pleasure’s free when you come with me
Shaking harder than a money tree, singin’
Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na na

I got no money, I’m broke
Don’t mean my life’s a joke
’Cause a smile’s worth something
Yeah, a smile’s worth something

Your boyfriend drives a flashy car
Takes you to the fanciest bar
Thinks that he can buy your love
Break your heart, I can fix you right up
You’d sing

Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na
Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na
Sweet dreams they don’t cost a dime
Treasure’s yours if you give me your time, singin’
Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na na


Yeah, a smile’s worth something
Laughter’s worth a million

You say
Boy, why you wasting your life away, but
Baby, I’d make you happy every day
I’ll teach you how to fall in love
You’ll teach me how to grow up

(I’ll never grow up!)

Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na na
Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na na
Na na-na na, na-na-na na-na 
Na na-na na, na-na na-na na na
Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na na

Na, na-na, na-na na na, na na-na na-na na

Broke (Feat. Joe Little)


Put your lipstick on now
You're scurrilous and sweet like Lauren Bacall in the context of a Bogart film
Let's get you all dolled up now
'Cuz you're my special prima donna, everybody loves the drama
On the billboard see your name
Fifteen minutes starts today
Chartreuse, spotlight
Oh do we have a show tonight
Darling, just sign here
You're gonna make a fortune for us

You're gonna be a star, baby, what's your name?
The best in your class, getting money fast
'Til you blow it away
You're gonna be a star, baby, what's your name?

Now you're living life like a magazine
Dream in color, bluebird singin'
Hypnotize you, glorify you, sanctify your soul
Quite frankly dear your time is near, please don't take it wrong
Tragic, yet precise, time to pack it up and say goodnight
So take one more bow
Oh yes I can see it now

You're gonna be a star, baby, what's your name?
The best in your class, getting money fast
'Til you blow it away
You're gonna be a star, baby, what's your name?

The time has come, you're off the hook
[You've done such a good job hun, platinum records and a golden gun]
So say hello to Hollywood!
[You can live forever now, that's what this is all about]

You're gonna be a star, baby, what's your name?
The best in your class, getting money fast
'Til you blow it away
You're gonna be a star, baby, what's your name?

Everything

Warning [Official Audio]

i never knew that it could rain so hard 
beating on the roof of my car
 i never knew that it could be so cold
 i guess i’m just not that old
 is it wrong to feel so much pain?
 when i know things are gonna change 
how much longer do i have to wait?

some sunny day
 i’d walk for miles to find you 
some sunny day
 i’ll find that golden ray of truth 
some day, some day, the skies will return to blue 
so i’m waiting on a sunny day

i never knew life could be such a bore 
the drugs don’t work anymore
 if you could just give me peace of mind
 i’ll try my best to be kind
 is it wrong to feel so much hate? 
when its so cold and grey
 could you come and take it all away?

some sunny day 
i’d walk for miles to find you 
some sunny day
 i’ll find that golden ray of truth 
some day, some day, the skies will return to blue 
so i’m waiting on a sunny day

i can’t stand this gloomy weather
 i feel so low, it could only get better
