washed-up, on shore, the old yellow notebook out again I write from the bed as I did last year. will see the doctor, Monday. "yes, doctor, weak legs, vertigo, head- aches and my back hurts." "are you drinking?" he will ask. "are you getting your exercise, your vitamins?" I think that I am just ill with life, the same stale yet fluctuating factors. even at the track I watch the horses run by and it seems meaningless. I leave early after buying tickets on the remaining races. "taking off?" asks the motel clerk. "yes, it's boring," I tell him. "If you think it's boring out there," he tells me, "you oughta be back here." so here I am propped up against my pillows again just an old guy just an old writer with a yellow notebook. something is walking across the floor toward me. oh, it's just my cat this time.

Are You Drinking?
Can you tell me please which way now is home I used to know, my dear The way was clear There was no fear Tying my walking shoes I knew I needed to get clear of here thought I'd find all that was dear The road though, it is narrow The cliff it is shear My balance is woozy Can you tell me my dear which way is home which way do I go from here, I think I oughta know But the hills they are wavering The ocean is in turmoil The mountains are slick far too dangerous The desert has no mercy I know something and with this knowledge I think I must be cursed I think I have it Peace & Home goes and comes and comes and goes.

Can you tell me please
I know it's out there somewhere the elusive balm of sleep. I've tried an evening toddy and I'm running out of sheep. Prescriptions drugs and sedatives placebos, they must be. Because my eyelids won't stay shut there's far to much to see. The REM my body craves is like a hidden itch. I know I need to scratch it but can't FIND that son of a ***** And so I lie in darkness and stare up at the fan. I try to count rotations while making up a plan. The Sandman's on vacation. I guess i'll read a book. I listen to some sound effects a breeze and babbling brook. I may just have the answer.   A hammer is the cure. But such a headache I would get! That has no real allure. Desperation beckons.   I'm teetering on the brink. I'd give a lot for just a bit ( ten dollars for a wink?) My eyes are red and swollen.   My jaw is sore and raw. The yawns are coming faster now there oughta be a law. I'll see you in the morning.   Sweet dreams if sleep you can. For me...I'll just go meditate and watch that ceiling fan.

Somewhere in your wardrobe, I'd be willing to bet There's a t-shirt probably bearing the silhouette of Che Guevara He was revolutionary, yeah, he wore a cool hat But behind the design I think you might find it's not quite as simple as that Che was a bit of a homophobe, Che was a bit of a homophobe, I think... apparently.. who knows? Che was a bit of a homophobe, Che was a bit of a homophobe This is my song in defence of the fence A little sing along, a anthem to ambivalence The more you know, the harder you will find it To make up your mind, it, doesn't really matter if you find You can't see which grass is greener Chances are it's neither, and either way it's easier To see the difference, when you're sitting on the fence Somewhere in your house, I'd be willing to bet There's a picture of that grinning hippy from Tibet - the Dalai Llama He's a lovely, funny fella, he gives soundbites galore But let's not forget that back in Tibet, those funky monks used to **** the poor, yeah And the Buddhist line about future lives is the perfect way to stop the powerless rising up And he tells the poor they will live again, but he's rich now so it's easy for him to say I'm taking the stand in defense of the fence I got a little band playing anthems to ambivalence We divide the world into terrorists and heroes Into normal folk and weirdos Into good people and pedo's Into things that give you cancer and the things that cure cancer And the things that don't cause cancer, but there's a chance they will cause cancer in the future We divide the world to stop us feeling frightened Into wrong and into right and Into black and into white and Into real men and fairies Into status quo and scary Yeah we want the world binary, binary But it's not that simple. And your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive Yea your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive And your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive And so does your baby, maybe you oughta trade HIM in for a Prius- ROCK! I'm taking the stand in defence of the fence I got a little band playing tributes to ambivalence We divide the world into liberals and gun-freaks Into atheists and fundies Into tee-tot'lers and junkies Into chemical and natural Into fictional and factual Into science and supernatural But it's actually naturally not that white and black You'll be Dividing us into terrorists and heroes Into normal folk and weirdos Into good people and pedos Into things that give you cancer and the things that cure cancer And things that don't cause cancer, but there's a chance they will cause cancer in the future We divide the world to stop us feeling frightened Into wrong and into right and Into black and into white and Into real men and fairies Into parrots and canaries Yeah we want the world binary, binary - 011101! The more you know, the harder you will find it To make up your mind, it doesn't really matter if you find You can't see which grass is greener Chances are it's neither, and either way it's easier To see the difference Cause it's not that simple...

There’s an Indian restaurant down the road, And the owners have a beautiful daughter, But she’s the apple of her daddy’s eye, So I really don’t think I oughta. There was a Chinese takeaway next door, That did the best fried-rice, But the authorities came and shut ‘em down, For infestation of rats and lice. There’s a newsagents further along, But it doesn’t do much to dazzle, Unless you want overpriced cigarettes, And back issues of Razzle. The Arab café across the road, Does the best cappuccinos around, The sound of Algerian pensioners laughing Is such a beautiful sound. There’s a Working Men’s around the corner, Where the Guinness is dirt cheap, And in it I’ve had drunken nights, And memories I’d fight to keep. There’s a chicken shop on the way back home, Which I must say is pretty useful, When I’m staggering home, ****** as a **** The chicken burgers taste ******* beautiful. There’s also a chippy down the way, That does an excellent saveloy, It got burnt down, and I can’t help but suspect, It was a sneaky insurance ploy. There’s an Irish pub next door to that, Full of drunken, singing Micks, The Dubliners on the jukebox, It’s where I get my fix. But I’m always drawn to the Indian restaurant, Where the owners have a beautiful daughter, She’s witty, glamourous, the same age as me, And I really think that I oughta.

"There's an Indian restaurant down the road..."
All this room to fill All these emotions to feel Emotions coordinate with velvet Sensitive to the touch Warm to the heart You can never pull the two apart I oughta keep a hold of my helmet Before I go falling for your stunts I won't stay waiting for the snow Instead I'll pray you'll meet me under this miseltoe I will always think your Gold even without a show All I ask is stop making me look like a fool You hold my hand like glass You kiss me with no pressure to the lips You make me think we won't last You have put me where I'm frozen at my hips

Driving thru lots of Parked cars, many un- Aligned... Ask you? Askew... Wow. There oughta be A law or two to keep Those cars in lines. (Let's get Google to Drive our cars for us! They'd behave better, Until they became self- Aware, that is) Googo- Pocalpyse Navigating parking lots is Gambling against heavily Uneven odds, the House(s) Eventually winning by de Fault of small electronics Merry Christmas! Used To hear that from just about Every mouth and furry pair Of lips. Now, the ubiquitous "Happy Holidays" or as Seinfeld So brilliantly mocked, "Festivus for the Restofus" The mocking is now Knocking on our Cultural Door to Heck Driving past a Fitness Planet: the misspeled Word "Judgement" And the irony poking Me in the eye is that little "E" That SHOULD belong nestled Snugly in the deep middle of That word, but, strangly, isntt... And I'm doing what that sign Admiringly attempts to cajole: I'm judging. I'm judgEing. I do this, constantly, all My waking minutes: Not passing on judging, but Holding 4 aces and 1 joker... (Me) Hands clenched in rage as (Again) I steer obliquely thru parking Lots, doing the very same Crime I accuse everyone else Being guilty of... I scream... THERE IS NO 'e' IN JUDGEMENT!

Judge Mental
I've always thought of you But the thought of loosing you, Has driven me to pharmaceuticals. Quit, I know I oughta to, But I just feel the benzos pulling through, What the Hell shall I do? So I try to play it down, Even though its only opie It still aint half as bad as brown. Lets lighten it up, Don't wanna be no dope fiend But like a pent up bull to red I head straight for the shop bought codeine Oh cody, you don't make me swell, If anything man, you make my being well, For that small amount of time I feel I can take on the world Until I get to tomorrow and I feel I've created Hell! All the things we do, Just so we can feel the warmth, Finding our little cliques, Just by the way we talk. Have you tried this, This ones hit and miss, Mix it in with this, For eternal bliss. Now I've heard it all before Nothing improves and nothing changes, But there's something in the brain That promises you can catch that Dragon once again. The Dragon flies high With the fire in his belly, But you haven't any, So why you trying to catch him. (So why do you even try).

PLAY it across the table. What if we steal this city blind? If they want any thing let 'em nail it down. Harness bulls, ***** front office men, And the high goats up on the bench, Ain't they all in cahoots? Ain't it fifty-fifty all down the line, Petemen, dips, boosters, stick-ups and guns-what's to hinder? Go fifty-fifty. If they nail you call in a mouthpiece. Fix it, you gazump, you slant-head, fix it. Feed 'em ... Nothin' ever sticks to my fingers, nah, nah, nothin' like that, But there ain't no law we got to wear mittens-huh-is there? Mittens, that's a good one-mittens! There oughta be a law everybody wear mittens.

You know me for who I am Not the title that I have I'm the girl who breaks the rules And I got that from my dad I don't sit back and take what's left I go and grab life and I go My title doesn't define me I reap the seeds I sow I might be a Preacher's Daughter I don't do the things I oughta That is him, not me I believe what I believe I lead my life not to decieve God shed your light on me Life is out there for the taking I'm who I am, I am not faking He is who he is and I am me Take me as I am or leave me be Daddy knew the things I did I've told my sins and some I've hid The acorn fell away from this old tree He is who he is, and I am me I might be a Preacher's Daughter I don't do the things I oughta That is him, not me I believe what I believe I lead my life not to decieve God shed your light on me I know heaven holds my place But, they may never see my face I live the live I live that's all I say I don't live for tomorrow, just today I know wrong and I know right One day I may see the light The direction that I choose is up to me But, until that day comes just let me be I might be a Preacher's Daughter I don't do the things I oughta That is him, not me I believe what I believe I lead my life not to decieve God shed your light on me I might be a Preacher's Daughter I don't do the things I oughta That is him, not me I believe what I believe I lead my life not to decieve God shed your light on me

I Wanna Start A Riot
Rap is a craft and it oughta be, But my rap is crap; That’s just the way it comes outa me. My rhymes and my rhythm are kinda feeble, When I play a record sideways all I do is break the needle. You lay a eight on its side and you get a infinity; that’s how old I was when I lost my virginity. Took my side piece out for a high class dinner To show her I’m a winner But I lost all my street cred when I ordered the sweetbread. My homies formed a gang And I tried to join the ranks, But the only part of “gangsta” I can handle is the “angst.” I’d bust a move but my move buster’s rusted, I’d pop a cap but my aim can’t be trusted. One more thing to say Before I depart: Next time I’ll do a mic drop Before I start. Pizza? Out

My thoughts are dabbled across the floor My memory lies beneath the sink with the must and the Brillo pads I flushed my attitude down the john I think the dog is chewing on my heart Or buried it someplace My understanding is somewhere behind the couch And God, who knows where my self-confidence is I left my laugh in the hamper along with my shriveled grin I think ended up lending out my pride to the neighbor who never returns things Oh, the cat must have hacked up on my dreams I think that's my intelligence somewhere between the stale Bologna and brandy And I know that my tolerance is strewn from the staircase That must be my willingness that's collecting mold I'm pretty sure that's my perseverance behind the broken lamp post And is that my trust underneath that piece of toast Wait, I think that's my voice crashing dishes Or is that my happiness that's tearing up floorboards It could be my tranquility that's tracking dirt in Are those my wishes that's tipping over furniture I can't quiet tell if that's my dignity or individuality under one of those shoes Well, whatever it is, I think it's moving There's a bunch more clutter lying around and quite a bit more positivity that needs re-homing I oughta think about cleaning up but for now I'll sweep it under the carpet

When he speaks, I hear the sound, a president who's been around speaking of the wife with cankle not that she could care to rankle Yo, BT, he fights for freedom Rocky would be pleased to meet him late at night when lights are lunar on the road back home, a crooner fools rush in, no longer Bing the king of rock, old Pop can sing a whispered line from any song but suddenly I'm in the wrong and one tough stooge I hear he bought a tommy gun, and "why I oughta" tell you something you don't know it's Ahnold Schwanal ** dee doe and then another voice will join it's Raymond with his tenderloin this sailor's gal has quite a name he cooks his spinach in the same a wealthy man on distant isle who's wife is Lovey, makes me smile Every single voice he's got is good but when he's best it's not the person he'll impersonate but his own voice...it's getting late but wait, there's more, but I am spent on telling of the way it went or so it goes and what'll come the truth is, well, I love the ***

can we all hunker down under the Magnolias in the sand of the Plantation driveway under a confederate flag anymore? draw our plans like Lee would have, with a saber a picture of lines scribbled in the sand- our carbine- loaded by our side at the ready our heritage the old war or states rights or slavery when so much time and  lives have passed and people oughta know more about peoples, about history, about struggling which all races do. It wasn't pretty then. Not the least bit. And cotton , high or otherwise, needs no slavery, and bigotry is ancient as sorghum and horse meat. And man is man, proven to depend on a falsity or hate  to defend his ancestry, his teachings, instead of the question. Here, with a stick I scribble, while down hunkering, the least threatening position, to ask of myself, have I done what I could. And the answer of course, the black man and the Mexican, the Redman, the sensible , might answer, is it will take time. Do we have enough?

Do we have enough?
Barefoot ridin' on my Harley sounds real cool and it looks gnarly Doin' wheelies on the way Lookit me, no hands today Highway surfin in our truck You know I don't give a F### Adrenaline it's in my veins Let's go out and race the trains What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head Used to sound just like my mother Then it sounded like my wife Now, I rarely hear it speaking It ain't part of my life What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head Diving into shallow water I'm ok, do you think I oughta Walking out on red hot coals Tingles some and burns my soles Drinking what there is before me I don't care as long as it's free Party time through out the night I'll be ok, it's outa sight What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head Used to sound just like my mother Then it sounded like my wife Now, I rarely hear it speaking It ain't part of my life What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head One day I will die for sure Heaven has got that allure But....I didn't listen to the voice of reason And I'll end up.....WHERE IT AIN'T FREEZIN' What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head Used to sound just like my mother Then it sounded like my wife Now, I rarely hear it speaking It ain't part of my life What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head

The Voice of Reason
Barefoot ridin' on my Harley sounds real cool and it looks gnarly Doin' wheelies on the way Lookit me, no hands today Highway surfin in our truck You know I don't give a F### Adrenaline it's in my veins Let's go out and race the trains What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head Used to sound just like my mother Then it sounded like my wife Now, I rarely hear it speaking It ain't part of my life What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head Diving into shallow water I'm ok, do you think I oughta Walking out on red hot coals Tingles some and burns my soles Drinking what there is before me I don't care as long as it's free Party time through out the night I'll be ok, it's outa sight What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head Used to sound just like my mother Then it sounded like my wife Now, I rarely hear it speaking It ain't part of my life What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head One day I will die for sure Heaven has got that allure But....I didn't listen to the voice of reason And I'll end up.....WHERE IT AIN'T FREEZIN' What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head Used to sound just like my mother Then it sounded like my wife Now, I rarely hear it speaking It ain't part of my life What happened to the little voice That voice of reason in my head It shows up some, but now it's dead That voice of reason in my head

Once met a girl with a pretty face. One day she tried to put me in my place I said HEY pretty lady don't you act that way Or else I might just have to put you away She shot! And I got My skinny *** outta that shop Checked my head, not a bullet gotta worry about Once met a girl with mountains on her chest. One day she tried to put me to the test I said HEY foxy momma don't you do me wrong someone oughta put ya where you belong Then she swung! And I sprung Up and out, I was gone Checked my head, next time I better watch my tongue Once met a girly with an *** so fine. But she was always tryna spend every penny o' mine I said STOP baby now you're gonna **** me dry You done wasted my money now you're wasting my time She pounced! And I bounced My broke *** out the house Not a dollar in my pocket, not a girl I gotta worry about Once met a woman with skin like honey. She never asked for nothin' and put food in my tummy I said LISTEN here darlin' we should run away Cuz with you I would spend every night and day Then she left! And I wept She played me like a clarinet, Had me on a string like a marionette, Then put me out like a cigarette, That summertime sweetie took the heart right outta my chest

Once Met a Girl With a Pretty Face. (blues song lyrics)
Muddy shoes beside her bed Thoughts of you inside her head Sheets that smell of gasoline Been a long night for the beauty queen Light flickers from a distant fire Ask for the truth, she'll be the liar The sight of you it turned her mean Kiss and tell on the mezzanine She's not one to reckon with That was your last forever lasting kiss *Chair propped up against the **** of the bedroom door* Guess that oughta even up the score Muddy shoes beside her bed Thoughts of you inside her head Sheets that smell of gasoline Been a long night for the beauty queen...

Beauty Queen
Not quite a teen Land of maple syrup, winter dreams and moose Everyone polite Into the scene Five star escape to fancy cars, spruced beverages and limousines Arrived tonight Me and cousin Simon Lets dive in cuz I've done nothing but sit for like forever let me loose Age hour long flight Got your towel son? Yes Mum see ya later be careful yes mum you're not to be out all night Yes Mum alright Lets be foul Bets and dares, knock n run stitch ups, wreck past the elevator take the stairs Switch off lights Hello hey you, we're new wheres the pool? Not far you'll need to go below the lobby down the hall past the breakfast bar Turn right There it is after all I was first, whose that girl she's pretty like her hair dunno probbly older don't be daft Shes a sight Lets be bold and impress her We'll do flips you go forward I'll go back bet mines better you're the worst who cares Smack Ow my head Has it bled no its fine, i like her lips one more time with style Splash Nailed it Did she see my dip did you see her, did she smile she didn't see Smack Jesus that hurt Is it bleeding no it isnt, think I slipped need to jump in further to the drink Splash That was something Oughta be worth a glance no chance you're a drip, oi lets fly then dont be scared Smack again Doesnt hurt it's fine Its bleeding no its not dont pretend, hey look shes sorta staring with her friend Hey whys the water pink?
