Mother Earth, Father Thunder
My lightning conceived was I
The stars above became my eyes
Overgelmer flows in my veins
My hair the mist across the never ending nameless lake
The stars above became my eyes
Overgelmer flows in my veins
My hair the mist across the never ending nameless lake
By womb of soil, the moist of dew
Born when sun was high, the day was new
And the raven soared high up in clear sky
The lamb will speak to you, when your heart is pure
And you were made by
Mother Earth, Father Thunder
This heart winged, I am eagles son
Through storm and syite, untouched, it is pounding on
This sword, forged in fire and ice
The runes that trail its blade can be seen but by my two eyes
As if written in the snow, the lies, shall melt away
By the wheel of sun to cross the sky this day
Shadows may lay heavy upon the earth
But the truth, cut deep in stone, will last
Till the heavens comes tumbling down upon this world

I See It Now
It's good to see your face again, it's been awhile
How am I doing, Well I get by somehow
You sure look good since your new love came in your life
You know I didn't see that fire in you he's found
Oh but I see it now
Oh I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see It Now
How am I doing, Well I get by somehow
You sure look good since your new love came in your life
You know I didn't see that fire in you he's found
Oh but I see it now
Oh I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see It Now
Holding him, you never looked more beautiful
Letting go has been so hard on me
And sitting here, it's clear to see what he means to you
The way you look at him, it ain't no mystery
He's all I couldn't be
Oh I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see It Now
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see it now
Letting go has been so hard on me
And sitting here, it's clear to see what he means to you
The way you look at him, it ain't no mystery
He's all I couldn't be
Oh I never saw that look in your eyes

As Any Fool Can See
Lately she's been picking fights, dropping hints and just last night
I caught a tear as she slipped off to sleep
She's not here but she's not gone
I guess she must be waiting on the kind of man I promised her I'd be
I caught a tear as she slipped off to sleep
She's not here but she's not gone
I guess she must be waiting on the kind of man I promised her I'd be
As any fool can see
She's gonna cross that line
She's got leaving on her mind
And it's too late but what keeps killing me
Is knowing I've been blind
As any fool can see
How long did I think she'd stand for me to be the kind of man
That came and went just as I dang well pleased
While she sits at home alone
with fears and feelings of her own
Lord knows goodbye would bring me to my knees
She's gonna cross that line
She's got leaving on her mind
And it's too late but what keeps killing me
Is knowing I've been blind
As any fool can see
How long did I think she'd stand for me to be the kind of man
That came and went just as I dang well pleased
While she sits at home alone
with fears and feelings of her own
Lord knows goodbye would bring me to my knees

Come on Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them?
You've grown (you're grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever
(Come on, Eileen)
Too-ra-loo-ra
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay
And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment
You mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
These people 'round here
Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never)
But not us (not ever)
We are far too young and clever
(Remember)
Too-ra-loo-ra
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay
And you'll hum this tune forever
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
Ah, come on, let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on, let's
Ah, come on, Eileen, please
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on, let's
Ah, come on, Eileen, please
(Come on, Eileen, too-rye-ay)
(Come on, Eileen, too-rye-ay)
Now you're full grown (too-ra)
And now you have shown (too-ra, ta-loo-ra)

Oh, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Whoa (what he means)
Whoa
Ah, come on, Eileen
Oh, believe me
If all those endearing young chums
That I gaze on so fondly today
Were to suddenly leave you, oh fly in the night
Just like fairy gifts gone in the sky

No wave
A lame genre of Punk rock that started in the late 1970’s.
It sucks even more than Punk rock itself. And totally lacks any musical merit…many nerdy INTP marxist pseudo-intellectuals think this is good music, when in reality it is really just another infinitesimal watered down form of music and pointless post modernist subgenre belonging to the post WW2 counter culture realm. Post-modernism sucks.
I’m an INTJ and I’d rather listen to corporate rock than this poop. No wave music stinks to high heaven.

Ball of Confusion
One, two, one, two, three, four, ow
People moving out, people moving in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on
Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
The cities ablaze in the summer time
And oh, the beat goes on
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
And the band played on
So, round and around and around we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Oh, great googa-looga, can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills, people all over the world are shouting, end the war
And the band played on
Great googa-looga, can't you hear me talking to you
Sayin' ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Sayin', ball of confusion

Solitaire
I still remember how much I used to need you
Tried so hard to please you, but you didn't need me
You knew I loved you, knew I always would be there
You just did what you wanted, you didn't care
Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you want to hold me
Don't wait up, 'cause babe, I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire
Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear
Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you want to hold me
Don't wait up, 'cause babe, I won't be there

All the cards were held by you
There was nothin' I could do
All those nights I sat alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' were you ever comin' home
Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?
It took some time but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you, now look who's back here
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no no
You found out you loved me just a little too late
Once the cards were held by you
Now there's nothin' you can do
All those nights you sit alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' if I'm ever comin' home
