Lyrics

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you
Ten true summers we’ll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you’ll see I’ll be there with you

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagle’s dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by a million years

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I’ll be there

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
You spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

Coversong originally made famous by The Kinks

Verse:
G                                    D
I won't take all that they hand me down,

    Am                                   Em
And make out a smile, so I'll wear a frown,

    G                                      D
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down,

    Am                               Em
'Cause once I get started I go to town.

Chorus:
Em                                          D
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,

Am                             Em
I'm not like everybody else,

(Em)                             D
I'm not like everybody else,

Am                              Em
I'm not like everybody else.

(Em)                                                    D         Am
And I don't want to walk about like everybody else,

Em                                                       D         Am
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,

Em                                                          D         Am
And I won't say that I'm confined like everybody else,

(Am)                                       Em
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,

Am                               Em
I'm not like everybody else.

I’m living a dream
One with a light beam

When sleeping I’m dreaming
That I’m living
A dream
When awake I don’t forsake
The dream

Life will pick up steam
When you realize your dream
Believe in what you can do
And, you will, too

Make Love, Not War

Make Love, Not War.mp3

LYRICS
What do you say
We lay
Down our arms
And make love
Turn off the killing alarms
Be free of
Turn on getting turned on
Spawn
A lush crush

For sure
Make love, not war
Love more, more, more
Make love, not war

Hate hate negate
More love more more
Lay your love spoor
Make love not war

ABOUT THIS SONG
Make love, not war is an anti-war slogan commonly associated with the American counterculture of the 1960s. It was used primarily by those who were opposed to the Vietnam War, but has been invoked in other anti-war contexts since. The “make love” part of the slogan often referred to the practice of free love that was growing among the American youth who denounced marriage as a tool for those who supported war and favored the traditional capitalist culture.

The phrase’s origins are unclear; some credit Louis Abolafia. Radical activists Penelope and Franklin Rosemont helped to popularize the phrase by printing thousands of “Make Love, Not War” buttons at the Solidarity Bookshop in Chicago, Illinois and distributing them at the Mother’s Day Peace March in 1965. They were the first to print the slogan.

In April 1965, at a Vietnam demonstration in Eugene, Oregon, Diane Newell Meyer, then a senior at the University of Oregon, pinned a handwritten note on her sweater reading “Let’s make love, not war”, thus marking the beginning of the popularity of this phrase. A picture of Meyer wearing the slogan was printed in the Eugene Register-Guard and then a related article turned up in the New York Times on May 9, 1965. When the slogan was used in California in 1967, then Governor Ronald Reagan joked to protesters “Those guys [the protesters] look like they can’t make either of both”.

LYRICS
Now I know what She meant
By shoveling cement
My ribs taking a ribbing
Funny bone ain’t laughing
Lungs gasping
Blood sugar crashing
Exhaustion ain’t forgiving
Even the most miniscule muscle aching

Forsaking
The lazy mode

On the unchained gang road
Lifting a heavy load
On the unchained gang road
Unlocking spiritual code

LYRICS
Which weighs more
A pound of bricks
Or a pound of feathers?
Which would you rather
Fall on your head?

Which ways more?

What’s in store
Not just for kicks
You made your bed
Your folklore
Will be the fix
Let your heart be led

LYRICS
Polar vortex, clipper or nor’ easter
Take it as another kick to the keister
Or consider the splendor of the impending gleam
Know what I mean?
Snow — what I mean

Veil the frail in fractal white crystal
As to the blind man’s Braille
The third eye’s sail
See it all

Ensure splendid grandeur for their future
