A twist on the 'Appearance Medicine' phrase.

APPEARANCE MEDICINE

Tripping round some corridors
Nothing but neon lights
Floor polish and hidden voices
There you are before my eyes
It’s appearance medicine
Like a hormone injects in a vein
It’s appearance medicine
A face that lights a flame
S O B and tachy heart when lightning seeds a body start
That jumps a gate to permeate my actual need 
For you with me - today

This hospital’s a restaurant
Medicine is the menu
God’s own surgeon shaped the face
That walks me to the moon
It’s appearance medicine . . .

Ah-huh Ah Huh da da da da da da da da
It’s appearance medicine
It’s appearance medicine

Everyday it’s much the same
Going on that ward round
Floor polish and hidden voices
Soon my heart it’s on the pound

P'tit Paul.  (Translated after the French text )
Texte : Sarada
Chant : Liora
Musique : Alain Illos

Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Quand on dit qu'il est fou,
Ca me rend folle.
L'est pas timbré, y fait exprès.
C'est pour me faire rigoler.
Il n'est allumé pour de vrai
Que quand je ris à ses côtés.
Comm' rien ne peut plus l'arrêter,
Faut qu'ils lui pass'nt la camisole.
Il continue s'il m' voit pleurer
Parce que ça me désole. P'tit Paul.
Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Quand on dit qu'il est fou,
Ca me rend folle.
Il se rebelle, il est farouche,
Il n'aime pas quand on le touche.
Moi seule, j'ai le droit du sol,
J’appuie  ma têt' sur son épaule
Alors, il sourit, ses yeux louchent
en les relevant vers le ciel.
J’ lui pose un bécot sur sa bouche
Et il se fait tout miel. P'tit Paul.
Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Mêm' qu'on dit qu'il est fou,
Je l'aime comme une folle.

P'tit Paul

He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
When they say he's crazy,
It drives me crazy.
He's not crazy, he does it on purpose.
It's just to make me laugh.
He's only turned on for real
When I'm laughing with him.
Like nothing can stop him,
They've got to put him in a straitjacket.
He goes on if he sees me crying
Because I'm sorry. Little Paul.
He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
When they say he's crazy,
It drives me crazy.
He rebels, he's fierce,
He doesn't like to be touched.
I'm the only one with a right to land,
I rest my head on his shoulder
So he smiles, his eyes squint
as he raises them to the sky.
I put a kiss on his mouth
And he's all honey. P'tit Paul.
He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
Even though they say he's crazy,
I love him like crazy.

Now into my seventh decade of living, and celebrating my fiftieth anniversary this month as a guitar player (I should play better than do;), I wanted to drop this "little ditty" as my attempt to keep up with the likes of Bill Liggett (@soundcloud.com/greenfleamusic/tracks) and other notable players on this fine platform.  Actually it's an attempt to keep up with myself, seeing if I can still play what I learned 40-plus years ago, in the case of this song, the introductory licks I learned from a very fine Kansas City lounge musician, Mark Bell in 1979.  For those keeping score, you may remember it from the song "This Motel Room" by Jimmy Buffet--a fun and clever song that details the many nights touring musicians have to endure staying in motel rooms.  I took the initial licks heard throughout the song and built an independent melody line around it, half blues ditty, half musical joke, with a serious moment (you know I have to have one of those:), all with the hope of bringing a smile.  I'm proud to say I can still play it, and maybe, just maybe a little better now than then:)  Bill, just don't ask me to play it live;)

Lyrics:
Manifesting like a queen
My life's a movie scene
Come and check out all my cars
Living large like the stars

Anything I want I can make real
Pulling my future from the quantum field

Yeah, I'm living my best life in the simulation
I could get out but I don't want the complication
Just admit that this is the perfect situation
The simulation, the simulation
The simulation, the simulation

If I want to watch a show
I flick a switch on my remote
When the Knicks are on the floor
Then I'm sitting centre court

Worked my way to the top of my field
That's how I pay for all of these ideals

Yeah, I'm living my best life in the simulation
I could get out but I don't want the complication
Just admit that this is the perfect situation
The simulation, the simulation
The simulation, the simulation
The simulation, the simulation

They said why don't you try one of these red pills
Well, I tried but all I got from them was chills
To be wide awake you gotta have the skills

And things don't get any better than this
I'm living life of pure bliss
No, things don't get better than this
I'm living life of pure bliss

Things don't get any better than this
And if I had a word, I'd say pure bliss

Yeah, I'm living my best life in the simulation
I could get out but I don't want the complication
Just admit that this is the perfect situation
The simulation, the simulation
I'm embracing the simulation
I'm embracing the simulation
I'm embracing the simulation
I'm embracing the simulation

I need an all-inclusive trip to Mexico


Living my best life in the simulation

In Euripides' tragedy 'The Suppliants', a group of Argive mothers travels to Eleusis to plead with Theseus, king of Athens, to help them recover the bodies of their sons, who fell during the failed assault on Thebes. The Thebans, in fact, refuse to return the corpses for burial. These mothers, immersed in profound grief, represent the universal symbol of maternal mourning in the face of the loss of their children in war.

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I like your music, I say how it affected me, maybe something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I have musically diverse interests: pop/rock songs, jazz-rock fusion/prog instrumentals; acoustic guitar. Main instrument is guitar, I'm not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough there to make my work sound ok.
