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.

COWBELL BLUES (By Larry Sieniuc)

COWS ON A HILL
COWS IN A FIELD
THEY’RE MUNCHING GRASS
THEY’RE STANDING STILL


They’re just standing around the barn
Waiting to be grilled 
On your brand new barbeque
That you bought at the Kmart
Last Saturday afternoon

Chorus

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 
Mooooooooooon
Over the Mooooooooooon
She didn’t want those cowbell blues
She didn’t want to jump over the 
Mooooooooooon

She was at the Kmart buying her plastic shoes
She didn’t want those cowbell blues
She didn’t want to jump over the

She didn’t want to jump over the

They’re munching grass
They’re standing still

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

LYRICS 
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

CRYING IN THE RAIN (Larry Sieniuc)

Tears are falling to the ground
Just like the rain
Streaming steadily down my veins
Into the lane
Dropping deeply from my eyes
Into the drain

YOU LEFT ME CRYING IN THE RAIN
YOU LEFT ME LYING IN THE LANE 
YOU LEFT ME DYING IN THE DRAIN

Tears are falling to the ground
Just like the leaves
Falling colours in the sun
Red, browns and greens
Into the forest of our lives
Into the trees
Where the tears are cut with knives
We fall like leaves

Tears are falling to the ground
Just like the rain
Streaming steadily down my veins
Into the lane
Dropping deeply from my eyes
Into the drain

You got a shredded eaves-trough
Doesn’t matter if you stay home
Cause you just can’t shake it off
The wings of your plane

ACID RAIN
ACID RAIN
RUNNING DOWN YOUR DRAIN
SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE
ACID RAIN
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

CHORUS

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

LIMOUSINE WINDOWS (By Larry Sieniuc)

Limousine windows
I’m dressed up in black
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

LIMOUSINE WINDOWS
I'M DRESSED UP IN
BLACK & WHITE
BLACK & WHITE
BLACK & WHITE
BLACK & WHITE
BLACK & WHITE
BLACK & WHITE

Limousine windows
I got links in my cuffs
There’s starch in my collar
I got a dog that ruffs
I got a face that scuffs
Red velvet curtains
Monumental stone
Cause of death is
Unquestionably unknown
Boxed bones alone

CHORUS

Limousine windows
Candlelight flames
Bouquets of flowers
Forgotten names
Crumbling remains
Rock of ages
Grenadine drapes
Unfolding in folds
Deep purple grapes
Angel food cakes

Thin presence, limited action
Black velvet paintings
Fried chicken wings
In the gallery
Aluminium siding, plastic surgery
Platinum teeth
Superbly cooked meat
On the hibachi

REALLY, REALLY REALLY
REALLY UNREAL MAN
REALLY UNREAL MAN
REALLY UNREAL MAN
REALLY, REALLY REALLY
REALLY, REALLY REALLY

Thick action, everybody’s smiling
Puffing cigarettes, petting family pets
On the patio
Sun tanning, barbecuing
Government inspected
Computer tested
Tender baby beef

Clear visions, cloudless skies
Hot summer days, ultra violet rays
In the afternoon
Soft sunset, fluffy clouds
Red velvet skys, banana cream pies
Feathers flutter fly
