Times spent alone
Searching for love
It can be hard
Heaven above
I must atone
Make myself right
Live honestly
And never fight
Lead by example
Be a model
I will delight
Bugs never trample
Years on my own
Searching the stars
Yearning for more
Trapped behind bars
Here was a chance
I threw it away
Give me one more
I will try to stay
Show me the path
Of righteousness
Build me a bridge
To you I shall march
I’ve tried again
To succeed my past
So I will endeavor
Please make it last
Trace back the days
In due previous care
Three years will pass by
And never a tear
Alas, all is done
We’ve had a good run
Let’s buy some more change
And fly to the sun

On rainy days like this one I try to stay inside
The nasty weather in which I cannot confide
But in my garage I play my music
I write real good songs, enough to make you sick
But on one day I was fixing my guitar
The wood of the neck got all splintered
So I grabbed some wood glue and lathered it on
But would you look at that, I got stuck to the instrument
GarageBondage – stuck to my six-string
GarageBondage – I hope it’ll come off
GarageBondage – Stuck to my six-string
GarageBondage – Aghhh!

Twisted

Turn me inside out
Make me feel the grout
Tasty like a brussel sprout
Guess I’m gonna scream ‘n’ shout
Turn me inside out
Make me feel the grout
Tasty like a brussel sprout
‘Bout time I figured this out
Left, right, down, up, in, out, it’s all twisted
Left, right, down, up, in, out, it’s all twisted
I can’t remember if we’ve ever had a real conversation
Many words will pass between us, but meaning has no place here
The only thing that is mutual is our colossal indifference
The only thing that is mutual is our colossal indifference
Left, right, down, up, in, out, it’s all twisted
Left, right, down, up, in, out, it’s all twisted
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
I’m taking this over troubled water
Left, right, down, up, in, out, it’s all twisted
Left, right, down, up, in, out, it’s all twisted
Left, right, down, up, in, out, it’s all twisted
Left, right, down, up, in, out, it’s all twisted

LoL (Labor of Love)
04:40
|

Some say I’m obsessed
Spend half the day not dressed
When most are asleep my guitar goes cheep
‘Cause I’ve got to be the best
Look at how I practice
All alone like a cactus
But guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Ever since I was born
Silence I would mourn
‘Cause music’s in my veins
I go to very great pains
So listen to me play
It should brighten your day!
And guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Give me that old timey religion
Rather feed a pigeon
‘Cause music is my creed
And what scales I am freed
So opon up your years
And listen right heres
Guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Back in ancient times
Even before my rhymes
People who damaged instruments
Would slowly lose their minds
Music is real special
You can be so special
Guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
You come and ask me
How it came to be
That in such a busy world
I do feel myself free
With music I am me
And that is a party
Guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Fiddle on the chair
You had best prepare
Rosin that bow and tune the strings
‘Cause I am almost there
Look – all around
Listen – to that sound!
And guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
I own lots of books
I take many looks
I’ve eaten from many cooks
I like to hear good tunes
But not when played by crooks
Hey, guess what!
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Driving a small car
Won’t get you very far
When your vehicle needs to be
The vessel for your guitar
So think economically
What will carry me?
Now, guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Playing in standard tuning
Is just like bush pruning
It’s good to do when you need to play
But it isn’t always interesting and newning
So try some different chords
I promise you won’t get boreds!
Yo – guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Characters welcome here
As long as you don’t disappear
So put down your throne and get out your new sticks
And play a new beat you can call your own
Try living in the grand palace
Of music – here there’s no malice!
Guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Who has attention span
For music with unusual form
That is why my song does
Struggle to fit in the norm
As you crank up your speakers
You can untie your sneakers
Guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
I must compliment you
For making it here through and through
This is so fun, but we’re almost done
This has been great, but it’s getting late
I gotta fly, please don’t you cry
Let’s try again, maybe in ten
Ahoy – guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
Well, would you look at that...
I nearly dropped my hat
When I say this you mustn’t miss
Now please don’t curse or you’d be remiss
This is the final verse
Verse
Wowzers – guess what...
Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

AWTY

Goin’ to the show
Gettin’ on the highway
Drivin’ rather slow
Should’ve gone on my way
Wish I were alone
Quiet in my mind
Ancient engine drone
We’re not almost there
Are we there yet?
That show was rather bad
My hair has started to turn
My ears bleed and start to sag
Inside my rage does burn
Trash outside the houses
Kids go for a stroll
I’ll wear more fancy blouses
Let’s fight for a bite to eat
Are we there yet?
It was raining, and I got my receipt
Thank you
You’d like to think that, wouldn’t you?
Get off at that exit
We’re a scant eight minutes away
This is my favorite leg
We won the game nine to two

Oldies

You try to save money
You look for a deal
Feelin' real’ crummy
‘Til you’re behind the wheel
Friends calling you names
‘Cause you don’t have a ride
Who can share the blames?
In me you can confide
The street’s not very wide
So you can’t go too fast
Your car is rather old
I’m afraid it just won’t last
Made a deal on Craigslist
It’s an ‘89
Time to go and drive it
Engine starts to whine
Putting it in reverse
That’s kind of tricky
But you can rest assured
It drives without a key
The street’s not very wide
So you can’t go too fast
Your car is rather old
I’m afraid it just won’t last

So Nice
01:28

Come be with me
I am so nice
Come eat with me
We will have rice
Come play with me
We will ride bikes
Come jam with me
I have two mics
Let’s spend some time together
It could be so nice
I’ll be yours forever
We won’t have any fights
Come and let’s dance
Give me a chance
Come see my pants
Just take a glance
Now see me prance
I will entrance
Fight with my lance
You’ll see my hands
Let’s spend some time together
It could be so nice
I’ll be yours forever
We won’t have any fights
Let’s spend some time together
It could be so nice
I’ll be yours forever
We won’t have any fights
Let’s spend some time together
It could be so nice
I’ll be yours forever
We won’t have any fights

Pains
02:01

Chest pains, growing pains
Limited vocab – expand your brains
Moving slow, sluggish pace
Lousy transport, try the trains
Fairy dust, turn to to rust
Wear a crown – metal turns brown
Chest pains
Growing pains
Pains
Pains
Pains
Laser beams in tandem with a childhood friend and candle
Celebrate the halitosis and fibrillate like good pal Moses
Elect to represent the candidacy from out of whence you came
Chest pains
Growing pains
Pains
Pains
Pains
Pains (chest)
Pains (best)
Pains (rest)
Pains (blessed)
