I'm Nothing But Trouble For You

A poem by Lord Byron

When we two parted
   In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
   To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
   Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
   Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
   Sunk chill on my brow— 
It felt like the warning
   Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
   And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
   And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
   A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me—
   Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
   Who knew thee too well—
Long, long shall I rue thee,
   Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—
   In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
   Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
   After long years,
How should I greet thee?—
   With silence and tears.

When we two parted (Alternative version with Junior Ali on drums)

Just Like Magic

This is a track from a concept album telling the story of a young man's experience. The story begins in his homelad of Ireland in the mid 19th century when many people were leaving the country to find a new start in America.  
Music and lyrics: Phil Bowen 
Keyboards, accordion, guitars: Phil Bowen
Produced and mixed: Phil Bowen
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Not much left in this town of one street
Brought up on lies and malevolent deceit
Folks just left with the sound of drumbeats
You can still hear the sound of the marching feet

Verse 2
The black and tans came on a cold and rainy night
Searching for insurgence, no claim to civil rights
They preyed on the weak. They preyed on the strong
Nothing much left. The fight had all gone. 

Middle 8
So here’s to the land of the shamrock so green
May the winds of fortune sail with you
And all your wishes and dreams come true
So here’s to the shamrock so green. 

Verse 3
Stamp on the shamrock with the soles of your feet
Dance with the devil immersed in conceit
Believe or be met with unspeakable ills
I’m the king of the castle, I’m king of the hill

Verse 4
I played the role of Arthur, the king of Camelot
My brothers played the knights, the oldest Galahad
We fought off invaders when we were young lads
Facing off the enemy with wooden knives and guns.

There to here  Pt. 1

Shamrock so green

Shamrock So Green

The second installment of Smoking Trout's EPIC tale of adventure, love, heartache, and a bunch of other stuff, in the travels of the "Hobo Cyberpunks" and the "BUS"

Tea R Sea(Terry) Producer, Synth, percussion, artwork
Uziel - vocals,keyboards(clarinet)
TexMex Shamen (Stephen) guitar
Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches (Jo Richter) percussion, lyrics
StonerJazz(jeff) Lyrics, vocals, percussion

lyrics       

you may have heard the creaking noise and tiny footsteps n the darkened corridors
that stretch to the southern boundaries of the unpolluted parts
where souls are living with total disregard for the nature of the Holy Dumpling
floating on the cosmic stew that simmers horizontally to your soul ln your heart

Traveling with the HOBO CYBERPUNKS, l learned a thing or two from the leader of the band Cosmic Stu who ln a wild tangent and a Rant, described a different spot
a filthy plot, invaded by tribe of bots, who stank of superficiality
an opportunity that he lost

The teachers teach ln empty auditoriums to pupils lost ln 4 inch screens
sequestered ln squalid scenes, that go unnoticed as useless information ls gobbled up and gobbled down ln every home and every town
Put the monster down and walk away He sald,
lron John ls not afraid of the queen
and even though the prince ls doomed
the purpose doesn't change

let me introduce you to some members of the band
there's Sally and Roberta who play the clarinet with beauty and with Grace
who plays the violin and Viola who makes the Djembe
bounce around the brain
with subliminal referrals to her pleasure and her paln
The horns are played by the twins
Maurece and Nostradamus, their trumpeting sublime

the accordlan of course ls played by Johnny who you might remember from the land of Zed, He did eventually get out of bed and sald
This reminds me of a time when things were real, and l could feel the rope of
hope wrapped firmly around and round my throat
before l knew the truth about the Lle
before l knew the meaning of goodbye

Now Stu he claimed to know or knew the whereabouts of the holy condiment that grew only
just outside his windowsill (and was essential to the Dumpling's flavor)
where he lived ln another life with Mary-Ann his ex-wife
who left hm for a guy named Sid who was a maestro on guitar
and had a band that traveled wide and far
including Mary Ann, and Larry too

Looking for that very thing
Hoping for just one bite
of that heavenly delight
before the turning of the light

The Holy  Dumpling #2 "the Smoking Trout" (featuring Tea R Sea, Uziel, TexMex Shaman, Jo Richter)

to the one i love

Hi, here a new spontaneous piece, much groove & fun, full party compatible...
I wish you much pleasure while listening!
Cheers

Go With The Flow

Spring time (Guitar solo)

Behaviours are so important going forward. Going to have to be some selfless work from everyone - be exemplary. 

Exemplary

We look out the window and we see it’s our turn
We want to, we need to
The river is rising and grass is burnt
It’s a headache, it’s a heart ache
So we’re walking through the streets so purposefully
We’re marching, some are running
We’re shoveling sand, we’re hosing the land
We’re a commune, to the rescue

Ba da ba da - We’re exemplary
Ba da ba da - We’re exemplary

Children are leaving their classes in droves
They’re frightened and enlightened
They’ve worked it all out, they actually know
They can see it, they’re not stupid
It’s everywhere they look, vapid posturing
It’s so obvious, it’s so odious
It’s all about ownership and total control
They detest it, they reject it

Ba da ba da - They’re exemplary

Mother and daughter father and son
By the 60s we could be gypsies
Everyone a nomad everywhere a land grab
Fight it – be united
Ba da ba da - Be exemplary

When we two parted (Alternative version with Junior Ali on drums)
