LYRICS
Try to create a smile or two
I can give to you
Create a song… maybe a few
That will move you

Remove every fright in sight
Insight

If the boogie man comes
Gonna make him run
Let the overlord come
Gonna make him numb

Until we all see tranquility

Try to convey a concept or two
That relates to you
Convey meaning… then some, too
That will move you

’till every fear takes flight
Take the Reaper’s scythe
Send him underneath
Show Grim gnarled teeth
Emerge from beneath

Until we all see tranquility

LYRICS
Big Brother comin’? Is he approachin’?
Arrival fear? He’s already here
Every time you go by there’s an eye-in-the-sky

A camouflaged idea… in your diarrhea
Did you think you could smell through your stink?
Every time you go by there’s an eye-in-the-sky

Birdie, birdie in the sky
Why did you do that in my eye

LYRICS
Just when you thought your were gonna make a change
The whole world has become rearranged
Rearrange
[can’t just sit there and mumble and grumble]

Just when you thought your were gonna make a change
The whole world has become rearranged
Everything has ended up strange
Do you even know if it’s in your range
In your reign
It’s in your reign
It’s in your range

It just might start
Within your heart
Baby
Maybe
It’s time to start aiming for the heart
Maybe, baby?

LYRICS
[Loud crowd roar]
Well, lookie, lookie
Looks like we got ourselves a winner

Give this man a cigar
He ain’t no beginner
Ho telling how far
From being a sinner
He’s achieving some God-like status
High above the rest of us
Climbed the stairway to heaven
To begin on Earth all over again

[Loud crowd roar]
Well, lookie, lookie
Looks like we got ourselves a winner

Give the lady a Kewpie doll
She ain’t no beginner
So high should she fall
Back to being a sinner
She’s achieved some God-like status
Way above the rest of us
Climbed the ladder of success
“Damn the new glass floor! No more!”
Cursing the collapsing of the glass ceiling
Feeling she wished it as before

Who knows what?
For what it’s worth
Mother Earth

Who knows what?
For what it’s worth
Mother Earth
Thank you for this birth
Here on Earth
For certainly
I couldn’t see
This Earth without you
This is true
Thank you for making my dreams come true
For, there’s no where I’d rather be
Mother Earth

LYRICS
Behind every tree
There’s a girl listening sincerely
Feeling such glee
Knowing they feel me

Behind ever “me”
There’s a soul that can see
So with the music
Raise the dead n’ make ’em quick
As She said, “judge the quick n dead”

Been reaping what I sow
Or so the story goes
More I live, more I know
Fountain of wisdom flows

LYRICS
When you convey a smile
It travels many a mile
Then compound and compile
Everyone tunes into the dial
And, that’s when the times turn fine

You said, “Keep on playing,
I’ll just listen.”
Thanks for saying
Eyes twinkle and glisten
And, that’s when the times turn fine

Saw her tapping her toe
That’s how I know
Wished she didn’t have to go
Solace… she’ll be back, though
And, that’s when the times turn fine

ABOUT THE SONG
G Em
G Em C D G
C D G

This song was inspired by people showing their appreciation when I play music out on the street. Each verse is about different people’s ways of showing their gratitude. The first verse is about a lady driving by in Ambler, PA. The second and third were written at Marshall Square Park in West Chester, PA.

LYRICS
Wouldn’t that be fine if it was fine all the time?
Humane goldmine

Wouldn’t that be fine….

Wouldn’t that be fine if it was fine all the time
All the time

We could call it our humane goldmine
Be fine all the time
How do you mine the gold
Ask how you treat your old
Or, is my life all about me, me, me, mine
What if it was fine just about all the time
Humane goldmine
The mine is not mine
The hours are ours
Just about all the time
It’s all fine
Humane goldmine

What if it was fine
Oh so fine
Just about all the time

LYRICS
You don’t know the blues
’till you’ve walked in her shoes
Once you’ve walked in her shoes
It’s nothing that you’d choose

Chorus
Still she strides to ride the road that’s high
No matter how high, she’s gonna try, try, try

You don’t know good news
’till it’s something you choose
The high road offers views
In the meantime, she pays our dues

LYRICS
Did you give a little
Did you give a lot
When it comes down to it
Would you rather not?

Chorus
Hey! Hey!
Ya can’t take it with you any way

Did you try n’ help out
Or have too much doubt
Did you utilize time
Or say “it’s all mine”?

Chorus

Did you think a little
Did you think a lot
Have you solved the riddle
Or rather bother not?

ABOUT THE SONG

Written in Ambler, Pennsylvania. Inspired by the rich old ladies with bad haircuts from Blue Bell that wouldn’t give a penny… yet the kids from the poor neighborhood would empty the change out of their pockets.
