Subshine

& if you could, would you hold it against me
it's not the highs but the lowest frequency
I'm in disguise so that you don't notice me
it would be wise if you limit your speaking

I have subshine in me
so I hid it beneath

& if you would, could you hold it against me
the sun is gone but I still feel a shining
it won't be long now, why are you hiding
do you not feel the solace in smiling

I have subshine in me
sick on subshine disease
no one saw shine in me
so I hid it beneath

& if you could, would you hold it against me
it would be wise if you limit your speaking

I have subshine in me
sick on subshine disease
so I hid it beneath

Controlled Experiment (E4)

they like to get high
they're in love with tricks of the mind
you'll find
they still study you with their eyes
realize...real eyes

new eyes
hungry to sink their teeth into fourths
ecstasy of sorts
my mind
ready to flow like the sea, I've been coerced
in this ecstasy of yours

they like to get high
they're in love with drugs of the mind
you'll find
they can see it all with their eyes
real eyes...realize

wide eyes
desperate to sink their teeth into fourths
ecstasy of sorts
my mind
ready to flow like the sea, I've been coerced
and with ecstasy, I'm lured

I like to get high
I'm in love with drugs of the mind
you'll find
I can see it all with my mind
my mind...my my

wide mind
desperate to make some contact with yours
ecstasy of sorts
your mind
killing the thing that you said you loved more
and now ecstasy is sore

new eyes
hungry to sink their teeth into fourths
ecstasy of sorts
my mind
ready to flow like the sea, I've been coerced
in this ecstasy of yours

2nd Thoughts

boy, you must be so proud
livin' the life now
you wrote a song, you ain't a god
you don't have a shot
2nd thoughts rot

well, I miss the real ones
the "second-to-no-one"s
with no flags or no guns
the feelings surpassed 'em
it takes one to know one

boy, you're talking so loud
you're screaming the shout
you played a note
you're not the GOAT
what have you wrote?
2nd thoughts choke

well, I miss the real ones
the "second-to-no-one"s
with no flags or no guns

well I miss the real ones
who lived life for the fun
the ones less the ego
the ones with the deep souls
the Buckleys and Staleys
the Woods & the Hoons
and all the others too

well, I miss the real ones
the "second-to-no-one"s
with no flags or no guns
the feelings surpassed 'em
it takes one to know one

The Fertile Vessel (of Sexuality & Creativity)

you wanna know what I have inside me
all the love, the drug that is blinding
you wanna preach to the side that is dying
you wanna know what I have

you wanna know what I have inside me
all the bones, they're good for unwinding
you wanna see, so you see it inside me
you wanna know what I have

you wanna know what I have inside me
all my walls are lit, green, and smiling
you wanna be just to be here without me
you wanna know what I have
you ought to know how I laugh

and you, I'm like you
I paint every day and hope that these colors blind you

and you, I'm like you
I wake every day and hope that I still can find you

you wanna know what I have inside me
all the puns that I hold that are hiding
you wanna see on a level that's binding
you wanna know how I laugh

you wanna know how I feel inside me
all the world, they know me as Stoney
you ought to be just as green and as smiling
you wanna know how I laugh

you wanna know what I have inside me
all the storms, the thunder and lightning
you wanna die, but you'd just die without me
you wanna know what I have
you ought to know how I laugh

and you, I'm like you
I paint every day and hope that these colors blind you

and you, I'm like you

and you, I'm like you
I paint every day and hope that these colors blind you

and you, I'm like you
I wake every day and hope that I still can find you

Regrets of a Jedi

bending your mind with just mine
light years apart
I had died, bled out mine
some years ago
it was true, it was you
who broke my heart
I had died when that life
had made me dark

now with a saber of light
I have come to win this fight

holding your soul way too close
trusting you blind
I let go, escaped from
a place to hide
it was true, it killed you
it stopped your heart
you had lied with devils
who tore us apart

bending your mind with just mine
light years apart
I had died, bled out mine
some years before
it was true, it was you
who broke my heart
I had died when that life
had made me dark

now with a saber of light
I have come to win this fight
so you're here to test my might....

We're Alone

if I could clone you, the things we could do
how I would love two, the two of you to
clone some for you too, in multiples
if I could have you

hold me,
I don't wanna be alone tonight

hold me...

yeah, if I could clone you and call you by twos
how I would love you & you'd love me too
to have two hold you, imagine the view
I could not handle, but I'd try to

hold me,
I don't wanna be alone tonight

hold me...

we're alone
we're alone
we're alone

hold me,
I don't wanna be alone tonight

hold me...

Casting Shadows

I like wearing shades
I love sunny days
days too bright for eyes
ruined by you guys

why are you always
casting such shadows
so many issues

I dig summer days
I vibe on suns' rays
days with blinding skies
ruined by the likes of

why are you always
casting such shadows
do you just still have
big mommy problems
so many issues

I know you love hate
and have since 8th grade

why are you always
casting such shadows
do you just still have
big daddy problems
why are you always
casting such shadows
is it you're pretty
with all the lights off?

Fool On The 3rd Floor

and the sun went down
and the world's not spinning 
but dying now
and I'm so spent, I frown
because the spinning world 
brought dementia to my head now

I am a fool, but so are you, 
how do you do?
I am a fool, but so are you, 
how do you do

and the vibe went south
I can feel all the hatred 
in the house now
and I'm so dead, I lunge out
because I'm sick of all the hating 
in the world now

I am a fool, but so are you, 
how do you do?
I am a fool, but so are you, 
how do you do

and the trees are brown
all the leaves have 
fallen on the ground
all upset, they died out
and left us all to burn to death 
under the sun now

I am a fool, but so are you, 
how do you do?
I am a fool, but so are you, 
how do you do

and the sun went down
and the world is grinning 
at my soul now
and I have clouds, no frown
because I'm sick & tired
of all the Bullshit in the world now

and the sun went down
and the world's not spinning 
but dying now
and I'm so spent, I frown
because I'm sick of all the hating 
in the world now

Written by Paul McCartney in India, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da was an attempt at a ska-influenced recording, 

"I had a friend called Jimmy Scott who was a Nigerian conga player, who I used to meet in the clubs in London. He had a few expressions, one of which was, 'Ob la di ob la da, life goes on, bra'. I used to love this expression... He sounded like a philosopher to me. He was a great guy anyway and I said to him, 'I really like that expression and I'm thinking of using it,' and I sent him a cheque in recognition of that fact later because even though I had written the whole song and he didn't help me, it was his expression.

It's a very me song, in as much as it's a fantasy about a couple of people who don't really exist, Desmond and Molly. I'm keen on names too. Desmond is a very Caribbean name."

Written by: Lennon-McCartney

Lennon had wanted I Am the Walrus to be The Beatles' next single after All You Need Is Love, but Paul McCartney and George Martin felt that Hello Goodbye was the more commercial song. The decision led to resentment from Lennon, who complained after the group's split that "I got sick and tired of being Paul's backup band".

The song was written in August 1967, at the peak of the Summer of Love and shortly after the release of Sgt Pepper. Lennon later claimed to have written the opening lines under the influence of LSD.

The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend, the second line on another acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko.

Taste of Your Own Medicine

swallow down a spoonful
tastes just like resentment
medicine to heal you?
or to make you less infected?

don't dish out
if unable to take it
don't wimp out
the moment you taste it

choking down a cup-full
that which doesn't kill you
medicine's the sweet tooth
cavities removed

don't dish out
if unable to take it
don't wimp out
the moment you taste it

Kentucky Rain

Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night and you were gone
Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home

So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride
On this lonely Kentucky back road
I've loved you much too long, my love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing what went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes)
Searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain

Showed your photograph to some old grey-bearded men
Sitting on a bench outside a general store
They said, "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday?
No, wait, the day before

Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?"
As we drove on through the rain, as he listened, I explained
And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes)
Searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain

In the cold Kentucky rain

I Can Sleep When I'm Dead

I Can Sleep When I am Dead
making sense doesn't make bread
what happens when I cannot vent

well, am I dead yet?!

I don't want to sleep no more
got things to do, plans to use
I don't want to sleep no more
got lives to learn, air to burn

oh, but slowness becomes me
and leaves me groggy
and now I'm dragging so
oh, tired prevails thee
and beats me sleepy
and now I'm lacking hope

I sleep best when I am dead
I seek rest for my dead head
product of lackluster bed

well, am I dead yet?!

I don't want to sleep no more
got things to do, plans to choose
I don't want to sleep no more
got lives to learn, air to burn

well, am I dead yet?!

oh, but slowness becomes me
and leaves me groggy
and now I'm dragging so
oh, tired prevails thee
and beats me sleepy
and now I'm lacking hope

I Can Sleep When I am Dead

no, 'cause slowness becomes me
and leaves me groggy
and now I'm dragging so
oh, tired prevails thee
and beats me sleepy
and how I'm lacking hope

I Can Sleep When I'm Dead

When It's Over

purple skies, lovely eyes, won't you marry me?
I've come down from the clouds momentarily
smile bright for tonight, time might roll on by
don't let go, souls do glow, they glow like your eyes
some days, love, fills you up, shows you ways to be
purple skies, love is high, what it does to me

don't you take me
don't replace me
don't you wake me
don't you hate me
when it's over

autumn eyes in my mind, why we smoke these leaves
I've come down to your ground to find time to breathe
smiles shine for tonight, time, it won't rewind
don't you know of my soul, don't you know my kind?
now and then, all my friends, somehow question me
purple skies, people die, not from love, from greed

don't you take me
don't replace me
don't you wake me
don't you hate me
when it's over

don't you take me
don't replace me
don't you wake me
don't you hate me
when it's over
