Siren Song is the 2nd track from the album 'Advice To The Wayfarer' (2014). All parts written and performed by Rowan Galagher. Lyrics "I've heard Mermaids calling each to each, they do not call to me" based on T.S. Eliot's <i>The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock</i>.

Lyrics:

We rain on your parade
‘Cause the games you play have casualties
The lunatics are lost
It doesn’t take a lot to become a martyr here

We’re further from the truth 
As you’re fighting nail and tooth to be in control
I’ve heard Mermaids calling each to each
They do not call to me if I’m in the boat

Siren song
It won’t be long 
Till they’re talking destiny 
The Leviathan is watching me
I’ve lost the will to be among living people

Broken sleep and broken dreams
Nothing here is as it seems
You can have high hopes
It takes more than a load off my back

To realise your dreams 
Not an ounce of levity till the attack
Round and round she goes
Where she stops nobody knows

Omaggio a Papa Francesco
Con grandissima riverenza e riconoscente amore
Instancabile fino alla fine della sua vita terrena
Homage to Pope Francis
With great reverence and grateful love
Tireless until the end of his earthly life

You started Laughing - Supertramp - Rick Davies -1975

When you're in heaven what you gonna do?
You're gonna sit around a cloud and say
"Hey what a lovely view"

Is there a reason why you're like you are?
Is there a reason you'll be leaving?
Is my love out of season?
I wouldn't mind but to me that is treason

You started laughing
When I held you in my arms
You started leaving
When I told you of my charms

I was in love with you
And then you said we're through
And then I said boo hoo

Was my tie not on straight?
Was it something I ate?

You Started Laughing

IT’S US OR THEM
No golden rule
Do they play by
The coders are their fools
Super Smart AI
Takin’ over lives
By takin’ over livelihoods
Time is of the essence
For bad or good

CHORUS
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Robots or men

It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Us or them
Robots OR Men.

Washington to Beijing
The race has begun
Whoever wins the war
Will be the golden one
Cheaper, better, faster
The name of the game
Should humans survive
This world won’t be the same

CHORUS
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Robots or men

From the plumber to the lawyer
Most jobs will end, oh and
Universal Basic Income
Will not be your friend, no-no
‘Cuz when it comes from the government
They expect a return
Your beloved flag
They are willing to burn, yeah

TAG
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Us or them
Oh, it’s us or them:
Robots OR Men.

IT’S US OR THEM

What happens if "Dust In the Wind" meets "Classical Gas"?  I sought to answer that profound question one morning when I was riffing on an A-minor chord and couldn't think of another way to describe this acoustic concoction. I couldn't think of a better name for it either, but seemed to have a "ballad" feel to it, either about a hero or villain, I'll let you decide, and maybe catch a "catnap" thinking about it:)

Ce soir-là ma chère
Vos yeux d'un bleu si clair
Votre sourire fugitif
M’ont fait un mal de chien


Tout à coup devant moi
J’ai vu ce vide immense
Que laisse votre absence
Dans mon inassou-vie


Tant d'années de recherches
Pour en arriver là
Tant d'années dépassées
Qui n'attendent que moi


Comme une vague tu avances
Tu ondules tu balances
Et je crains ta puissance
Et je hais ta violence


Ballotté par tes humeurs
Comme à ma dernière heure
Il n’me reste qu'à prier 
Vais-je encore m’échouer ?


Tant d'années de recherche
Pour en arriver là
Tant d'années dépassées
Et qui n'existent pas


Et enfin cette idée
Qui s'impose à moi
Tu es tu as
Tout ce qu'il me manque


Ce soir-là ma chère 
Vos yeux d'un bleu si clair
Votre sourire fugitif 
M’ont fait un mal de chien
 
M’ont fait un mal de chien
