From song cyle about my hometown - London. 

Mandies & Blues

I used to live in Streatham 
High up on the hill.
I knew this bird from Peckham,
She was on the pill.
Fish ‘n chips on her lips,
Players Number Six.
She was thick as a brick
But always up for it.

She gave me a good time, sometimes,
Mandies and blues and cheap red wine.
A little bit of blow and everything’s fine -
She gave me the runaround,
She gave me the runaround,
She gave me the runaround
All over London town.

Peroxide blonde kind of long and thin,
Nose held together with a safety pin

Now she lives in Balham
With a bloke who drives a truck.
And sometimes I think about ‘em
And I wish ‘em good luck.
She’s got a bun in the oven.
Must’ve had half a dozen.
Goes drinking on Sunday
Gets a hangover on Monday.

She gave me a good time, sometimes,
Mandies and blues and cheap red wine.
A little bit of blow and everything’s fine.

Mandies & Blues

Take Another Shot

Take another shot
Let’s see what you got
Slouching on the curb
Curse a dirty word
Looking so tough
But have you got enough

To break out of this gilded cage
And write yourself another page
Here come the changing of the guard
Hit the ball out of the yard
And take your place on the centre stage

Stand up tall and straight
Don’t wanna see you break
Throw a little curve
Try to make me swerve
Look me in the eye
Tell me you can fly

And break out of this gilded cage
And write yourself another page
Here come the changing of the guard
Hit the ball out of the yard
And take your place on the centre stage

Take it on the chin
And go for the win
Knock yourself out
That’s what it’s all about
You can be a hero
Or you can be a zero

But when the going gets tough
Are you tough enough
When the going gets tough
Can you pick  yourself up
When the going gets tough
Are you strong enough

And take another shot
Let’s see what you got
Take another shot

Take Another Shot

LYRICS BELOW (click "Show more")
June 2018: Just re-mixed and remastered this track from a couple of years ago. Originally written during the massive protests at the Wisconsin State capitol (see photo), but perhaps even more relevant now as the political situation further deteriorates.....
Original note: The political system is going haywire across our country, subverting the very nature of democracy. Unfortunately, this is preeminently obvious in our own state of Wisconsin, where our government is for sale to outside interests, conservative billionaires who secretly rule from the shadows and pull the strings of their puppets in power.  My opinion anyway. Wanted to give this track the kind of seering edge it deserves.
Hope you like the song! --Tim

LYRICS:
The country's running ragged
everywhere I go.
The people in power they don't know.
Plutocrats are working us like puppets on a string.
People are asleep--don't know a damned thing.

Their slashing education, suppressing the vote--
create a dumber nation, drain our hope.
Corporate greed and sleazeball deals are winning the day.
They're fouling our world to get their way.

CHORUS:   But you can find   peace of mind
by looking to each other, lend a hand.
Bide your time, drink your wine--
Beelzebubs in power gonna chart their own demise.

The country's running ragged everywhere I look.
It's all a web of well-connected crooks.
The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poor.
Old deluded white men rule the roost.

Black and white unequal, discrimination reigns--
millions of youthful dreams go up in flames.
The world is running ragged, but the earth will reek revenge--
send a tidal wave to sweep things clear.

CHORUS:    But you can find   peace of mind etc.

Crazy 

I must be crazy, I must be mad 
To let you slide through my fingers like that 
Thought I had you in the palm of my hand 
How I let you go I will never understand 
Well, I guess it only goes to show 
I was crazy crazy to let you go 

How many teardrops can I cry 
Looks like a waterfall pouring from my eye 
How many regrets can I hold in my heart 
Before the whole damn thing breaks apart 
Well I guess it only goes to show 
I was crazy to let you go

Timeline

SING THAT SONG

This song was written after I nearly got blown up in the Moscow metro bombings a couple of years ago. I took an early train that morning and was lucky. The experience got me thinking and I wondered how many collective teardrops have been shed after such insane terrorist acts. I hope you agree with me that blowing people up is the worst way to get your political agenda across. Peace and love.

How Many More Teardrops?

Verse 1
I heard the news and I fell down and cried -
Another senseless and deadly suicide.

Verse 2
It all happened again today
A crowd of innocent people blown away.

Chorus
How many more tear drops to fall
Before we heed the folly of it all?
Before we read the writing on the wall.

Verse 3
Believing in a cause, they strap on a bomb,
But what they do is crazy and just plain wrong.

Verse 4
Peace and Love is the message we must bring,
Don't let them tell you this war's a holy thing

Chorus

Bridge
Before we read the writing
That is written in blood on the wall,
Written in blood on the wall.

Chorus

Outro
What can we do? What can we say?
But let us pray for a brighter day
And a better way.

How many more teardrops

Somewhere between upbeat 60s pop and depressing 90s rock, there is BLISHOO. We hope you enjoy this 5-song EP - full album coming soon!

Bright lights in the sky
Bright lights in your eyes
Will I see you there?
Will I see you after the show?
Bright lights in the sky...

You get so high
and I get so low
I'll see you after the show

Blond hair
green eyes
it's an electric night

You get so high
and I get so low
I'll see you after the show

Will I see you there? 
Bright lights in your eyes

You get so high
and I get so low
I'll see you after the show

I'll see you after the show....

After the show

Para Lia - On My Way Home
words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018

i can feel the heartbeat of the rivers song
it is flowing down to places i used to know
so near as if i were never gone

i'm on my way home
i'm on the road today
i'm on my way home
and the distance fades away

every mile a trip down memory lane. a close-up view
when the sky is bright the shadows are wide and they walk with you
as the one you left behind when you were gone

i'm on my way home
i'm on the road today
i'm on my way home
and the distance fades away

and when i left all this
i got no clue about it
gone days are never gone

On My Way Home
