Music & Lyrics by Gelow Foster

I love EVERY Gelow song... this one struck me when I first started surfing the clouds. Surreal lyrics in a cry for nature and an outstanding structure. The BIG challenge was to maintain the energy that he puts into everything he does.

Cheers Sir Gelow for playing the collaborating game with me.
Thanks also to https://soundcloud.com/thomasbrunkard for guiding me through it when I was "slightly" lost :) !

Spiders 
Who cares ? Not them 
Whispers 
Who plays that game ? 

Is that so ? 
Is that so ? 

Who cares ? 
Who dares ?
To overtake rules with funny eels 

Who cares ? 
My friends 
A silly red ant on a table wine
A sparow and owl are in the red 
My optician jokes with funny moles 

Is that so ? 
Is that so ? 

Who cares ? 
Who dares ?
To overtake rules with lazy bees

Who cares ? 
My friends 
My grandfather's swan is a renegade 
He traveled as well on a butterfly
My grandmother, so ? She's a mohican

I ask the poor and the frog on the tree 
and they both answer so ?
We are just dancing with Helen of Troy 
Snobbery ? Is that so ?

Is that so ? 
Is that so ? 

Spiders 
Who cares ? Not them 
Whispers 
Who plays that game ? 

After the snow we read a book 
After the Pole 'bout rock and roll 
I ask the poor and the frog on the tree 
And they both answer so ?
We are just dancing with Helen of Troy 
Snobbery ? Is that so ? 

Is that so ? 
Is that so ?

Lyrics:

I'll feel myself now
Breaking hard
I’m weighed down
Hold it 'til you go there
Every single time
And I bleed hard
Hoping that you’ll heed hard
Knowing that we’ll be apart forever now

You say that you will, but you never call back
Leaving me sitting on the porch
Do you think I’m on crack
No, you never call back
You never loved me, now
No, you never loved me, now

I call sunshine
I'm gonna bathe my soul
And I know peace now
It’s more than you can hold
Cos I know this life
It’s all I’ve got to show
So I call sunshine
It glows in royal gold

I'll leave the race now
Slowing down
Found Grace, how
Catch a breath and breathe out
Falling starts to fly
So I move on
Sensing peace when you’re gone
Saying that the world keeps spinning ‘round just fine

You say that you will, but you never call back
Leaving me sitting on the porch
Do you think I’m on crack
No, you never call back
You never loved me, now
No, you never loved me, now

I call sunshine
I'm gonna bathe my soul
And I know peace now
It’s more than you can hold
Cos I know this life
It’s all I’ve got to show
So I call sunshine
I call sunshine
I'm gonna bathe my soul
And I know peace now
It’s more than you can hold
Cos I know this life
It’s all I’ve got to show
So I call sunshine
It glows in royal gold

You never loved me

Venus on The Half Shell

Verse 1:
Botticelli had a dream
He had a vision
It flowed like a stream
Because of his decision

To paint a woman so fair
None would doubt her beauty
He could not paint her on air
Should he show her booty?

Chorus 1:
Venus newborn
In Greek mythology
Not in science
Or in anthropology

Verse 2:
Proudly displayed at Uffizi Gallery
In Florence it pays many a salary
An icon of the Italian Renaissance
So famous with a great response

You stand so tall and large
With your long flowing lines
Seeing you is such a tall charge
Best some very fine wines

Chorus 2:
Venus newborn
In Greek mythology
Nude on the giant scallop
Not on a horse at gallup

Verse 3:
Were you for the Medici family 
Or someone else entirely
For some this is agony
For me its not even in my diary

Inspired by the Sistine chapel?
So much beauty in Rome
Or perhaps it was eve’s apple
That drove you home






2 Poems about Venus:

1.
Venus Transiens
BY AMY LOWELL
Tell me,
Was Venus more beautiful
Than you are,
When she topped
The crinkled waves,
Drifting shoreward
On her plaited shell?
Was Botticelli’s vision
Fairer than mine;
And were the painted rosebuds   
He tossed his lady
Of better worth
Than the words I blow about you
To cover your too great loveliness   
As with a gauze
Of misted silver?

For me,
You stand poised
In the blue and buoyant air,
Cinctured by bright winds,
Treading the sunlight.
And the waves which precede you   
Ripple and stir
The sands at my feet.



2.
Her eyes draw a heavenly peace to mind,
Where the green color of the sea doth dwell.
Her face is a beauteous wishing well,
Which reveals her splendor to all mankind.
Her golden hair gently blows in the wind,
As she sails across the sea on a shell.
Any attentive viewer's eyes can tell
That her figure was carefully designed.
Zephyr and Chloris continue blowing
Their perpetual winds over her head.
The pink flowers of beauty keep flowing
Across the landscape in which she is led.
Towards the shoreline her seashell keeps going,
As the Hora of Spring robes her in red.

Venus On The Half Shell

Therese

So we are stuck in our own ways
I try to spice things up but your eyes have long since glazed

CHORUS
Perhaps in a sad song
Is where we truly belong
Stuck in a sad space
Like half of our fellow race
A tale with a sad sting
You never felt anything
Are we just plain sad or just a phase?
[We are stuck in our own ways
We sunk without a trace
We are stuck in our own ways]

How we struggled through hard times
Searching for some true love but true love is hard to find

CHORUS

So we are stuck in our own ways
But I will break free from this glue one of these days

Stuck In Our Own Ways
