Groovy In The Next World

Dee-Load It

Words:

church bells are ringing choir girls are singing
in front of the drugstore big clock is ticking
cuckoo bird says save it for the next world

put my ear to the ground its vibrating
its a horses or a trains a coming
theyre coming to deliver me into the next world
whoa!

groovy in the next world
groovy in the next world

so i daytrip down to the station
yeah train whistle song is a singing
boogie woogie onto the track and into the next world

rocking and a rolling the phantom come patrolling
strolling pastorally over the river bowling
ill sow my wild oats in the next world
whoa!

groovy in the next world
groovy in the next world

when my bodys dead and my mind is free
of times draconian marshalling
once again i hear the sound calling me
its calling me

and the very first sound was a rock and roll
the very first sound was a rock and roll
the very first sound was a rock and roll
the very first sound was a rock and roll
the very first sound was a rock and roll
the very first sound was a rock and roll
the very first sound was a rock and roll
the very first sound was a rock and roll

Pgh Zen - mp3

Yinz are war pigs

Recorded another one. It's about bein down in the dumps, you know, like really in the Pitts. Let me assure you, it is a disaster.

Words:

where has the time gone?
it felt just like yesterday i was a kid
when i had no baggage to claim
cant keep my mind on
what it was that i should have did
when we were that rocky age

just what it was
i cant remember
was it spring or summer?

its down a one way street
i chased the memories but now theyre gone
away from me
this time of night
the buses dont run but across the bridge
through the tunnel is where i wanna be

the steel is gone
but the dream
lingers on

now im older but through the years
i still remember the old gang
i dream theyre still waiting for me
and do you remember what we used to say?
well that's zen n'at
that's zen n'at

but the magic
of friday night is so intoxicating
when youre seventeen
i dont know
if it seemed real to you but lord
it felt real to me

and days like these
just the coda
to the teenage dream

now im older but through the years
i still remember the old gang
i dream theyre still waiting for me
and do you remember what we used to say?
well that's zen n'at
that's zen n'at
now im older but through the years
i still remember the old gang
i dream theyre still waiting for me
and do you remember what we used to say?
well that's zen n'at
that's zen n'at
yeah that's zen n'at
that's zen n'at

this one is sort of like the Boss, if you hit him in the head with a shovel

Boy That Was The Worst Way To Go Down - mp3

Just recorded this bad boy. This is a picture of the Funny Boys, who will be playing a show/town near you real soon.

Boy That Was The Worst Way To Go Down:

shes a funny girl
she sends her love
wrapped up in a glove
post around the world
youre in the tavern howling for one more round
boy that was the worst way to go down
so youre at the bar
and someone buys
kept your eyes on the prize
got hit by a car
you look up and theres nobody around
boy that was the worst way to go down
like a ray of sound
kept her in your mind
but in your eyes
she was upside down
led her to water but you could not make her drown
boy that was the worst way to go down
now shes in the aisle in her marital gown
and boy that was the worst way to go down

always a bride
never a bridegroom
youre in the bathroom
when the horsemen ride
and lightning falls from gods hand to the ground
boy that was the worst way to go down
your love for her
or what you could achieve
just a soapy dream
now its down the tubes
youre in the meadow with a rodeo clown
boy that was the worst way to go down
he said look at my toe
what do you think of that smell
say hey thats swell
but i sure got to go
pressing business on the other side of town
boy that was the worst way to go down
sometimes a reason aint never to be found
boy that was the worst way to go down

I was trying to write a song like Zimmy... ?

These are demos.


I think you can guess which is which.

Lyrics:

the vandals came from up above
broke the windows of all the shops
screwdrove the museum lock
ripped every portrait along the hall

we take them into our bodies and lie on the rug
and something happens or not
sometimes something happens or it does not

And:

he wants to bruise your perfect thighs
he wants a contract signed in blood
signed in blood

Strike Out - mp3

Die out.

Lyrics:

to think that i could live in a fantasy, just my gray eyes
i got no desire, got no drive, but im horny all the time
by now you should know youre not my confidante

strike out, die out

no need to kill the pain, im happy with my busted brain
and ill be taking the piss if to you its all the same
give my regards to your heart of hearts

strike out, die out
strike out, die out

strike out, die out
we strike out on our own
we strike out on our own
we strike out on our own

Weather - mp3

And the weather is bad.

Lyrics:

the one that would have you
the one that would have you
the one that would have you
the one that would have you
wont have you

days and weeks go by
days and weeks go by
days and weeks go by
days and weeks go by
i wonder why

her mood is the weather
laid in hours of my time
laid in hours of my time

days and weeks go by
days and weeks go by
days and weeks go by
days and weeks go by
i wonder why

his health is the weather
laid in hours of my time
laid in hours of my time
her mood is the weather
laid in hours of my time
laid in hours of my time
his health is the weather
laid in hours of my time
laid in hours of my time
laid in hours of my time
laid in hours of my time

Kindness - mp3

I've been forgetting to do this.

Lyrics:

beat my body beat my brains
suck out my soul it all feels the same when you

find no prize for kindness
no kind of sweetness nothing at all
you find no prize for kindness
no kind of softness nothing at all

shadow falls into shadow and i cant tell whats real
go out of your head and walk right through the walls so

find no prize for kindness
no kind of sweetness nothing at all
you find no prize for kindness
no kind of softness nothing at all

look, look but dont touch, touch touch touch but dont talk
im learning how to walk, im learning how to walk and talk again

find no prize for kindness
no kind of sweetness nothing at all
you find no prize for kindness
no kind of softness nothing at all
you find no prize for kindness
no kind of sweetness nothing at all
you find no prize for kindness
no kind of softness nothing at all
no nothing at all
no nothing at all
no nothing at all

I Was A Painter - mp3

A messy job.

Lyrics:

i was a painter i painted myself into a corner
i had to jump out through the window
and as i'm running down the street
my box of paints flies after me
and i thought this ain't the life for me

i was a sailor hit a floe turning the schooner
we were taken into a whirlpool
and as we met the icy deep
the salty water touched my teeth
and i thought this ain't the life for me

and i would never pay the rent
and i would take that golden shit
and i would wipe my ass with silk
if i was rich

went on adventure i met every kind of failure
i found myself waistdeep in quicksand
and as there were no vines to save me
i sank into the ochre evening
and i thought this ain't the life for me

get up and put your sneakers on
left behind if you take too long
get ready for the night thats coming on
get ready for the night

Wax - mp3

I re-did this one.

Lyrics:

On fire I arrive at your steps like I've never been any where else
And now youre holding my hand like you're taking me back for yourself
And there's a signal here
But I can't tell for what

As I walked or was pushed down the path I could think of no other places and
You know the rope that I wear on my neck, it gets shorter every day
Oh so slowly now
Slowly I've learned to want

The horror in my mind slowly wanes before
Wax wax wax wax wax wax wax
I'm dead in the water again
I'm out on the edges of town
Cause I don't want to be in your way

You got something to say to me now so come crashing down the hall
I can tell by the sum of the noise how done you are with it all
Theres a signal here
But I cant tell for what

Youre the flower I want in my lapel
Dont let your ego get away from you now
Put it together just like we know how
And I'll never be the wind at your back

Kaleidoscopes - mp3

Recently re-formulated.

Lyrics:

its making for a birthday cake for me
a little gift that will give give give for weeks
cuz i refuse to live my life in years
while i can still turn these rusty gears

and i recall the ways we wasted days
lucky if i can make it to middle age
you know ill go to the ends of the earth with you
but, lord, youve got to carry me back

ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you

no one looks or even wants to see
what curses you crush crushes me
you want to know what it is all about
but im just pushing my bones around

things look up but then look looking through
kaleidoscopes we can see the truth
this night tonight wont unravel us with you
but hey, fuck it, lets punch it through

ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you
ill do it all for you
