Watch Your Back, watch your back He may be the one To spill every drop of our loving cup and ruin all our fun Watch Your Back, watch your back He's just a boy With careless ways he'll walk away once your a broken toy Watch Your Back, watch your back You don't know whats what Sure he's some thrillin villain actin all chillin, a tempest in a tea pot Oh honey honey honey, just open your eyes I know they like to wander over wide open skies Oh honey honey honey, just do what you must But do it with some one who last longer than the lust Watch Your Back, watch your back He'll make love into a knife Plunge it in when your back is turned Cause he knows your the jealous type Watch Your Back, watch your back Love may be blind But one look at him my darling you can see he's the hurting kind

It's an instrumental, make up your own words to sing along. My faves are la lah lah lah la

Sidewalks awash with piss and rage No Aldus Huxley or Betty Page Can stem the tide of Alpha dogs Those phishy fools writing kitten blogs Crowds made ill with idiot glee These popped upstarts in logoed tees I’m tired of missing the used to be As impatient I, replaces we The road runs hot with wanabe mavericks Who break the rules and rip the fabric They rend the night, they run red lights In a thoughtless race of no insight Where’s that sound, look all around Where’s that sound, nowhere to be found Where’s that sound, not even under ground What mom and pops can bear the flood That bares the useful old no love No fare fighting with ring and glove Just bare knuckles and spattered blood Soon the past will be well hidden Old ideas strictly forbidden Leaving only a shallow fallow now Endlessly repeating empty vows Allegiance, Obeisance, future misfeasance Where’s that sound, look all around Where’s that sound, nowhere to be found Where’s that sound, not even under ground

Make some up, and send them to us. Maybe we will do a remake.

You can drown your sorrows in a whisky sour Before you jump in the cold cold sea It’s all much the same, no matter you game On this no one disagrees Wave goodbye to your cronies, those genuine phonies As you drift on swells that swirl Leave your burden alone, forget about home In the bar at the end of the world Hop a flight, board a train, take a cab from the station Cop a Lyft from the center of town Get a bus, ride a bike, or board the last street car That winds its way along underground Take the tram heading outbound, to the far western stop Where the lights as white as a pearl Look for the sign near the end of the block For the bar at the end of the world The bar staffs not pretty, they mix the drinks shitty But beers sometimes just a buck The patters not snappy, no one seems happy Just strangers down on their luck You can drown your sorrows in a whisky sour Before you jump in the cold cold sea It’s all much the same, no matter you game On this no one disagrees Wave goodbye to your cronies, those genuine phonies As you drift on swells that swirl Leave your burden alone, forget about home In the bar at the end of the world

What makes a man Is it in his heart What makes a man Beyond an acted part His moment on the stage Has it no bearing on the play What makes a man Another link In a chain of fools Too taunt to think If his life no longer fits Does the man fall to bits What makes a man Just his day to day But as darkness falls Does he fade away A man has needs A man must strive To do more Than just survive A man seeks to leave his mark To lift his light above the dark What makes a man Not just a joke Comic relief Some author’s quote What writes his lines What makes his mind What fills his mouth With rhymes and lines

Aging Lion 04:08
he's an aging lion losing his pride Life's just a cage when your laid up inside Nobody listens to the fool on the phone leave the old man alone No one respects him, they think that he's done Cant learn the lessons from the struggles he's won Everyone's racing to use up their time Too late if you past your prime Lifting him up is a revery Life with his love while they talked A time before pain and the brevity of his breath which each step he walks Like a distant tune, heard but unseen there's a brilliance just around the bend But the moment passed as quick as a thought A feeling he mourns as it ends Mane is all silver, teeth yellow and dull, now his mind tend to wander mid speech Embarrassed he covers it up with a joke How his grasp is beyond his reach Aging lion he's lost his timing Poor aging lion you've lost your timing Our aging lion, lost your timing, That aging lion, lost your timing, gave up trying too busy dying I'm going to miss you my aging lion

about

Blonde Toledo San Francisco, California

Music thats full of melodies, strangely familiar, but none that you’ve ever heard. Passes the American Bandstand test of having a good beat and danceability, with rhythms from a plurality of backgrounds.It’s full of surprises, yet firmly based in the traditions of Brill Building Pop, Colombian Cumbia, Yiddish Theatre, Post Bop Jazz, British Invasion Rock, and whatever else falls to hand. ... more
