COWBELL BLUES — Think Before You Eat (By Larry Sieniuc)

We live in the plastic age—one of genetically modified foods, mad cow, avian flu, and hormone enhanced farmed fish.  Let's rethink our approach to ensure that whatever our individual choices it is from a more environmentally sustainable and humane point of view.

Waiting to be grilled 
On your brand new barbeque
That you bought at the Kmart
Last Saturday afternoon

Guess where I saw Lisa last Saturday Afternoon 
She was at the Kmart buying her plastic shoes
She didn’t want those cowbell blues
She didn’t want to jump over the

DIFFERENT SHOES (By Larry Sieniuc)

I got my boots 
When I want to go riding…with Melinda
She’s got Pinto Ponies in her mind
We go riding....into the sunset
And we do it Texas style

I got my sealskin 
From the Northwest Territories
I bought them back in 1967
When there was....no Greenpeace
They cost me 25 dollars at the Bay

BUT WHEN I WHEN I GO DANCING 
DANCING WITH MY BABY
I WEAR MY OLD SOFT SHOE

I GOT DIFFERENT SHOES FOR DIFFERENT WEATHER
SOME ARE SUEDE AND SOME ARE LEATHER
SOME ARE BABY COWS FROM NEW JERSEY
AND SOME ARE WILD PIGS FROM
BORNEO….WO…..WO….WO

I GOT DIFFERENT SHOES FOR DIFFERENT WEATHER
SOME ARE SUEDE AND SOME ARE LEATHER
SOME ARE BABY COWS FROM NEW JERSEY
AND SOME ARE WILD PIGS FROM
BORNEO….WO…..WO….WO

I got my Adidas…for when I’m jogging
Running for my life along the river
Or for playing tennis at Bonnie Doon

I got my imports
For drinking cappuccino
I do it at the corner café
Or playing pool all afternoon

I got my brown shoes…when I’m working
They usually go unnoticed
And they are the most acceptable to everyone

CHORUS

Katrina bought me…some moccasins
She put them under the tree
There’re from Santa not from me 

I got my hiking boots…for mountains
They’ve got gorilla grips for steep hills
And lots of padding for rocky fields

We’ll have move passion under the moon
Negligee action at noon
Far from the lonely street

LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL  (By Larry Sieniuc)

They’re stacking up the chairs
They’re vacuuming the stairs
Wiping the tables
Flicking the lights
I’m talking to my chair
Subconsciously aware
Stained nicotine teeth
Fluff on my collar

LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL
IF I KNEW ANY BETTER 
I WOULDN’T BE HERE AT ALL
IF I KNEW ANY WORSE 
I WOULDN’T FALL SO LOW
I WOULD KNOW

Too many cigarettes
Black barbecue briquettes
Alberta prime beef
A renewable resource
Disconnect the jukebox
Roll away all the rocks
Onto the street
There’s no place to go

CHORUS

To early to go home
Especially if you’re alone
There’s lots of people here
Hope you can meet one
I’m slouching over my glass
Reminiscing the past
My french-fries are cold
There’s sparkles on the ceiling

CHORUS

LYRICS
A GOOD CANADIAN BEER (Tony Vincent)

Since you went off and left me I feel all so alone
Searching for myself like a dog lookin for his lost bone
I don’t know where you are only that you ‘re not here

AND I CAN'T EVEN BUY MYSELF 
A GOOD CANADIAN BEER

That you took the brand new stereo
Only makes me feel half bad And that your cookings gone
Doesn’t even make me sad
This achin in my heart will pass I do not fear

CHORUS

They paraquoyed the Mexican for others the prices are so high
Now without you by my side I don’t know how I’ll get by
I feel just like my car last week stuck between gears

CHORUS

Even though the strike is over
They still haven’t that American brew
That’s almost as bad as my missing you
They won’t bring in the good stuff
Now the other is all clear

CHORUS

Yeah, they won’t bring in the good stuff
Until the other is all clear

Limousine windows

Your lips are so ruby
My hair is flat
My metal is scrap
Tears are so salty
Your lipstick is smeared
Rouge is so shadowy
My cheeks are so teared
My God is so feared

I got a face that scuffs
Red velvet curtains
Monumental stone
Cause of death is
Unquestionably unknown
Boxed bones alone

Candlelight flames
Bouquets of flowers
Forgotten names
Crumbling remains

Unfolding in folds
Deep purple grapes

RUNNING DOWN YOUR DRAIN
SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE

ACID RAIN

It turns blue litmus paper red
You got sulphur dioxide in your hair
Rubber boots and an umbrella
At the top of the stairs
Chemicals in your brain

It melts down your living room
You’ve got wall to wall shag
PH depression
And a dirty dish rag
An asphalted lane

LOWER THAN GRAVITY (By Larry Sieniuc)

The roar of an engine continually in my ear
Got me driving the highway and shifting the gears
Swishing by the rustle of the leaves in the wind
Your road of salvation is one that is sinned

MY VISION IS RESTRICTED I CAN NOT SEE
CAN'T GET ANY LOWER THAN GRAVITY
CAN'T GET ANY LOWER THAN GRAVITY

The wheels of motion pave the sands of time
Down the middle of the garden you painted a white line
You gotta go faster so you take out the curves
But sometimes this pace of living is hard on the nerves

CHORUS

Salt on cement with metal to rust
Disintegration factor into dust
Too many people are pushing
pipelines on through
Now there is oil leaking all over my shoes

CHORUS

Age of technology
Projectors of pollution
Windshield wiper soluble solution
Dig a hole and fill the pit
Roll on a steam roller all over it

My vision is restricted I can not see
Can’t get any lower than gravity
Can’t get any lower than gravity
Can’t get any lower than gravity
Can’t get any lower than gravity
Can’t get any lower than gravity
