It's the stuff of dreams-
getting rich
.....and get rich schemes.
We're stupid enough to believe
that we could all be billionaires.
It's a cruel misconception.
It wasn't true from its inception.
It's always been a wheeze
to keep the masses
.....in a mental deepfreeze.
They let you buy houses,
.....they let you purchase cars.
The purpose of all this
.....is to keep you
in containment where you are.
Never mind.
.....Stay 'blind'.
..........Find some solace in your 'self'.

Oh! It's the stuff of dreams-
getting rich
.....and get rich schemes.
We're stupid enough to believe
that we could all be billionaires.
It's a cruel misconception.
It wasn't true from its inception.
It's always been a wheeze
to keep the masses
.....in a mental deepfreeze.
They let you buy houses,
.....they let you purchase cars.
The purpose of all this
.....is to keep you
in containment where you are.
Never mind.
.....Stay 'blind'.
..........Find some solace in your 'self'.

(chorus)
If you're not amused
.....join the club.
Leave the masses to their delusion.
Get rid.
.....Get rid.
..........Get rid.
We can all get together off grid.
We can weather the storm
.....of rejecting the norm
and live wild in the wilderness.
We can all start life afresh.
We can all bathe naked
.....in the clearwater stream.
We can reconstruct the dream-
minimal means, simplicity.
We can reconstruct the dream.

If you're not amused
.....join the club.
Leave the masses to their delusion.
Get rid.
.....Get rid.
..........Get rid.
We can all get together off grid.
We can weather the storm
.....of rejecting the norm
and live wild in the wilderness.
We can all start life afresh.
We can all bathe naked
.....in the clearwater stream.
We can reconstruct the dream-
minimal means, simplicity.
We can reconstruct the dream.

THE DREAM

Babe, sorry I called you up
Have reason enough to stop think think thinking so fucking much
I’m a huge idiot - I like bad stuff
Like the bathroom flood reaching the hotel hall
When Your open truck Wasn’t  even robbed  
Sometimes I want to turn it up
Sometimes I want to turn it off
Babe, sorry I called you up 
Jen told me to walk it off
And  I think think think
You know enough 
To spell out love but
my minds made up of
bathroom floods
Teardrop playing so loud
And you hadnt 
even heard that one before   
Sometimes I want to turn it up
Sometimes I want to turn it off

the bathroom flood

the morning sessions - catcher and the rye

Continuing a theme of taking some great synth tunes from the 80s and seeing what they might sound like on a simple guitar and vox.
Tried this one a while ago, but my guitar playing was pretty awful - hopefully I'm a bit better on this version

America

Lead Guitarist playing in several local bands metal/grunge style has left a huge influence on my evolution as a artist but looking to fuse with songwriting and vocals that cross into more modern territory in either a band environment or recording project with a like-minded vocalist.
Can also sing backing/harmony vocals.
Have gear, transportation, and home recording studio; previous live and studio experience in both original and cover bands. Also have day job; looking to practice at home daily, rehearse together weekly, play out regularly.
Interested? Send me a note  Thanks!
