AAAAA

MAYBE I…

Maybe I’m just stupid
Chasing dreams I can’t possibly reach
Maybe I’m just hopeless
Learning things I can’t possibly teach

Maybe I’m - Maybe I’m
Maybe I ask too many questions
To understand where I belong
Maybe I’ve - Maybe I’ve
Maybe I’ve been out smarted
And everything I know is wrong

Maybe life is simple
Mediocrity’s a comforting home
Maybe life’s a pimple
On the edge of Mr. Dammit’s nose

Maybe I - Maybe I
Maybe I ask more questions
Than one should get to hear in a song
Maybe I - Maybe I
Maybe I should stop singing
If everything I sing is wrong

If it don’t work
If it don’t fly
Can there be a reason to keep the thing alive
Does it have a purpose
Or is it just a freak who’s purpose is to die
Well it’s so unclear

Maybe I - Maybe I
Maybe I ask more questions
Than one should get to hear in a song
Maybe I’ve - Maybe I’ve
Maybe I’ve been out smarted
And everything I know is wrong

IT GOES WAY BEYOND

Soft as a window of silk
Like drinking hot milk before you go to sleep
The Cajun masters won’t allow you to creep
To the other side
They want to confine you with thoughts of rawhide

It goes beyond Easy Meat Easy Meat
It goes beyond Prostitutes in the street
It goes beyond the sleep dirt in your sheets
It's just deep - way too deep!

You're never gonna know
You're never gonna know
You could be asleep while I'm singing this song
You're never gonna know
You're never gonna know
Where you is or where your truly belong
It goes way beyond!

It goes beyond Easy Meat Easy Meat
It goes beyond Prostitutes in the street
It goes beyond the sleep dirt in your sheets
It's just deep - way too deep!

It Goes Way Beyond

Relationships these days can be god awful confusing.

QUEEN AND A KNIGHT

She's got the devil in her eyes
And she don't care about your lies
Her game of love is pretty rough
And though you think you're pretty tough
She'll have you crying out "enough"

'Cause she's a queen and a knight
A queen and a knight
Keep you guessing
A queen and a knight
A queen and a knight
A curse or blessing
Don't say nothing stupid
Or she'll get all down and cupid
With an arrow straight through your heart
Straight through your heart!

You've got a fancy London flat
And you might think that you're all that
But when you're steppin' off the street
It's not your equal that you'll meet
She'll have you beggin' at her feet

'Cause she's a queen and a knight
A queen and a knight
Keep you guessing
A queen and a knight
A queen and a knight
A curse or blessing
Don't say nothing stupid
Or she'll get all down and cupid on your ass!

No second chances
No regrets
Leather boots and cigarettes
Full of chains and chain of fools
All beggin' her to make the rules
She lets 'em them know their beneath her station
"Cause her name is Domination Lou!

He's talkin' German
Kissing French
He straps you tightly to the bench
He says he'll please you with her lips
And then he'll scratch you with her fingertips
While your sacred package gets whipped

'Cause she's a queen and a knight
A queen and a knight
Keep you guessing
A queen and a knight
A queen and a knight
A curse or blessing
A queen and a knight
A queen and a knight
She'll keep you guessing

Don't say nothin' stupid
Or she'll get all down and cupid
With an arrow straight through your heart

Queen And A Knight

SOUND OF POSSIBILITIES

The jury is out, you’ve got to let it go
Stop hurting yourself
There's something you should know
I pray that a change comes your way
Once you were creative but you seem to have strayed
The static you feel is a lie
Listen very closely can you hear them inside

It's the sound of possibilities
They’re everywhere and waiting
The sounds of possibilities are there
The sound of possibilities present themselves so willing
When you allow yourself to be in the zone
When you allow yourself to come back home

A mind that is clear – like a piece of cherry pie
Gets right to the point
You know you can't deny the beauty of oneness in tune
Sharing ideas locking in and out of a groove
Cynics will come and will go
But you don’t have to listen when they tell you the answer is NO!

'Cause the sounds of possibilities – they’re everywhere and waiting
The sounds of possibilities are there

The sound of possibilities – present themselves so willing
When you allow yourself to be in the zone
When you allow yourself to come back home

The sounds of possibilities swirling in infinities messing up the Trinity's hair
Pumpin' up variety
Pissing off mortality when the will to live isn't there

The sounds block out all those obstacles trying hard to keep me down
They always fuel my motor just before I hit the ground

The sound of possibilities they're everywhere and waiting
The sounds of possibilities are there
The sound of possibilities present themselves so willing
When you allow yourself to be in the zone
When you allow yourself to come back home
When you allow yourself to come back home
When you allow yourself to come back home
When you allow yourself to come back home
When you allow yourself to come back home

Sound Of Possibilities

A rhapsodic piece originally recorded on a 1/4 inch reel to reel in 1982.  Re-recorded in 2004 - just because.  And yes, those creatures are still in my yard.

I'VE GOT CREATURES IN MY YARD

No beans about it babe!
I’ve Got Creatures In My Yard
They’ve been growing so awfully fast
Spreading into my secret tree
Deconstructing heroes that would comfort me

(Listen up!)

On certain days of humid dust
Paranoia is home for lunch
Morals crumble and fences rot
Faith begins to falter into stomach knots
Boy, it’s not like I thought it would be,
I mean, I need another shoulder

Whoa! I did not expect them to infiltrate my
inner draws!


I’ve got creatures in my eyes!
I shut them out but it’s no surprise
SURPIRSE!
I can’t escape them, I never could
‘Scuse me if I throw up, I don’t feel so good
I don’t feel... so good! etc...
I’ve got creatures in my yard
Backstabbing creatures in my God... Hey...

No beans about it babe the slugs in my back are growing
Can’t see no relief and babe
My subconscious fears are showin’
If I let’em out I’m afraid they’ll do me in!

In a creamy dentist office where my vision comes to rest
I see a paper plate fly like a frisbee (“Don’t ask me why!”)
TENT you’re outrageous! You’re so contagious!
Hummm,I want that frisbee!
But I’m afraid that if my clenching tools extend
I may never play the drums again
“Rainy Days And Mondays”,
It’s like they looped it in my head
Over and over and over again

All American Bumble Bat is craving!
All American Bumble Bat is craving to bleed:
Styreen Mo’Betta - Styreen Mo’Betta and you!
Which is to say me, which is to say you, which is to say :

I’ve got creatures in my yard
Beneath the wax of my poker cards
I’m holding out but it’s getting tough
“Suicide delinquent” should they call a bluff
No beans about it babe
One bag wrapped around and over
Hot car in a parking vein
Inside nitrous ox is blowin’
Well let me out!
Before I sink too deep!

I've Got Creatures In My Yard

Some people you know are a glutton for punishment. You try to help but that's the way they roll. Nothing you can do but movie on.

FOOL FOR TORTURE

JT : Ah hah! Giggles and giggles and giggles and giggles in the gas chamber!

I GET THE URGE AND I SETTLE DOWN
I TAKE A DRINK AND I'M RIGHT WHERE I BELONG
BUT EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO SETTLE DOWN
THERE AIN'T NO SIGN OF WATER AND YOUR WELL'S DRY

'CAUSE YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
PLAIN AS DAY CAN BE
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
NOTHING I CAN DO
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
WELL IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH

Ain't no lie. I swear!

I RECALL IN OUR YOUNGER PHASE
BIG MISTAKES THAT I SWORE I'D NEVER RELIVE
BUT YOU NEVER LEARNED TO FACE THE FACTS
THERE'S COBWEBS IN YOUR CLOSET AND OLD THE MONSTERS ON YA BACK

'CAUSE YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
PLAIN AS DAY CAN BE
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
NOTHING I CAN DO
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
'CAUSE IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
WELL IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
PLAIN AS DAY CAN BE
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
'CAUSE IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
WELL IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH

Ah you, you say you never need to hide behind a wall
You'll face the consequences "do or die"
But you never have the balls to tell me when I caused you pain
You laugh it off
And then expect for me to drag along
Drag along and watch you drown

'CAUSE YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
PLAIN AS DAY CAN BE
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
NOTHING I CAN DO
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
'CAUSE IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE BABY
A FOOL FOR TORTURE
WELL IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
I SWEAR!
SUCH A FOOL FOR TORTURE
SUCH A FOOL FOR TORTURE
YOU'RE A FOOL!

Fool For Torture

Everyone is labeling everyone.  Who's reality is this anyway?
WE MAY CALL YOU STATUE (2018)

We may call you statue
We may call you a seal
We may burn the hairs on your brow
Depends on how we feel
We may tie you to a soap box
We may have you play a fool
We may hold you for ransom
Or strip your golden rules

‘Cause you’re a slice of moldy clay
Rather clueless and unreserved
But that’s beside the point you see
It doesn’t matter to much to we

(And it was at this point the nitrous oxide started to wear off... Dig?)

We can sell you a “Edsel”
We can chain you in spikes
We can coat you with rayon
Or disconnect your pipes
It’s a freedom you can count on
It’s a freedom to rejoice
It’s a freedom you will live with
And you haven’t got a choice

‘Cause you’re a slice of moldy clay
Rather vapid and un-preserved
And like a traffic light in space
We’d rather see you than have you heard

(The Happy Feet Puppet Dance plays here…)

We may call you statue
We may force you to steal
We may feed you the God you believe
To us it’s no big deal
It’s a dogma you can count on
It’s a dogma to rejoice
It’s a dogma you will live with
And you’ll never have a voice!

(May have something to do with the DENTIST!)

‘Cause you’re a slice of moldy clay
Rather helpless and unreserved
But that’s beside the point you see
It doesn’t matter to much to WE!
Because we’re willing to take you home
I said, we’re willing to take you home!

Take you home
Yes, we're willing to take you home
Home - you gaze up to see your soul
If you only knew...

What goes out comes in through the middle
What goes out comes in through the middle

What goes out comes in through the middle ooooh.... ooooh

Friend you cannot buy a brand new life with a book of shiny treasures That’s just a wives tale that’s wrapped around your ass
And friend you should never try to disguise your disease

Won’t you please hide me
Won’t you please sign me
Don’t you still like me? - What?

Anthony Pomes:
I only drive this taxi because I’m a virgin
I live inside with my raccoon…

You think you’re neat
Collecting Aluminum Pennies with your feet
(“With your feet? That’s disgusting!”)

You think you’re hot
Collecting Aluminum Pennies made you not!
Collecting aluminum pennies
Collecting aluminum lives
Collecting aluminum nipples
I can see right through your...

What goes out comes in through the middle ooooh.... oooooh
What goes out comes in through the middle ooooh.... oooooh ooooh.... ooooooooh

How 'Bout A...

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.

Noise-Rock/Post Punk Band from Dresden, Germany.
