HI
SPACE TRUCKIN’ OFF TO WAR
SEESAW MAJOURIE DOR
LIES LIES IN PARADISE
TREES TREES CAN’T SEE NO MORE
HIGH FLY KISS THE SKY,
BEND DOWN KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE
HI
SOFT TOUCH WON’T COST TOO MUCH,
BURNED OUT BE GREED AND SUCH
SOUL SUCKIN PARASITE
TOO AFRAID TO STAND AND FIGHT
GROW A CONSCIENCE JUST GROW UP
PLANT THE TRUTH JUST FUCK OFF
HI
IGNORANCE DON’T MAKE THE GRADE
LYIN’ IN THE BED YOU MADE
THERE’S A PRICE THAT YOU IGNORE
HOLD OUT YOUR HANDS FOR MORE
SEE THE FIRE, SMELL THE SMOKE,
ENDURE THE CONTEMPT YOU INVOKE
HI
TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
YOU HAVEN’T BEEN SO BRIGHT SO FAR

A.G.F.A.

You’re not that cool
and you’re not that bold
You’re livin’ in the past
but you’re not that old
You’re not happy with this world
you’re not happy with this town
You own a lot of things
but you’re always down
You don’t get what you want
you act all hurt
You can’t win fair
you go diggin' for some dirt
Got the right friends
you got the right clothes
you go the right places
where everybody goes
I’m not disrespectful...
I heard what you told me
You see the problem is...
I don’t like what you sold me
You bought a good wife
so she’s good in bed
You bought a good surgeon
put hair on your head
For the years in the future
when you’re twisted n bitter
You got money put away
so you can take it with ya
An’ if it’s all true
an you get what you deserve
We’ve all juggled with the law
an’ smoked a little herb
Then I guess it’s alright
I guess it’s acceptable
For you to live your life
like A.G.F.A.

May We Have Peace
03:42

When we rise
May we have Peace
When we lay down
May we have Peace
When we build a home
May we have Peace
When we roam like Gypsies
May we have Peace
When we gather kinfolk
When we gather friends
When we gather neighbours
When we gather nations
May we have Peace
When we talk of trade
May we have Peace
When we speak of freedom
May we have Peace
When we we sing our songs
May we have Peace
When we paint our visions
May we have Peace
As we gather grain
As we gather fishes
As we gather sweet fruits
As we gather precious things
May we have Peace
When we have Peace . . .
We have freedom

And They'll Miss You
04:08

Hey brother, hey brother
what you doin’ down there
stand up straight look them in the eyes
Don’t go leavin’, by the backdoor
don’t you care no more
Have they got you, where they want you
do they stand on your toes
every time you try to get a foot in the door
Don’t go cryin’, for their mercy
they don’t care no more
How many times do you have to be told
Just hold on and try to be bold
They tell you this
while they roll in their gold
How many times before you grow old.
Hey brother, hey brother
has it come to this at the end of your road
You know you’re old, before your time
don’t you care no more
They don’t hear you, they don’t see you
they don’t speak about you till you’re gone
And then they’re sorry, and they miss you
I can’t say no more
How many times do you have to be told
Just hold on and try to be bold
They tell you this
while they roll in their gold
How many times before you grow old.

Whats The Deal
03:56
|
|||
WELL I DREAMED THERE WAS NO ASPHALT
AND I DREAMED THERE WERE NO CHORDS
AND IN A DREAM MY HANDS WERE BOUND
AND TIED BEHIND MY BACK
WELL IN A DREAM I HAD NO EYES
AND IN THAT DREAM I WAS NOT SANE
AND IN A DREAM MY MIND WAS BLANK
AND I COULD DREAM NO MORE
WHAT’S THE DEAL
HOW DY’A FEEL
WALKIN’ THE LINE
BETWEEN FANTASY & REAL
WALKIN’ THE LINE
WELL I DREAMED THERE WAS A THOUGHT
BUT THE THOUGHT WAS JUST A DREAM
AND IN THAT DREAM I THOUGHT ALOUD
AND CAUSED MYSELF TO SCREAM
WELL I SCREAMED THERE IS NO ASPHALT
AND I SCREAMED THERE ARE NO CHORDS
AND IN A DREAM MY SCREAM WAS FOUND
AND TIED BEHIND MY BACK
WHAT’S THE DEAL
HOW DY’A FEEL
WALKIN’ THE LINE
BETWEEN FANTASY & REAL
WALKIN’ THE LINE
WELL I DREAMED I WAS ASLEEP
AND I DREAMED THAT I AWOKE
AND WHEN I OPENED UP MY EYES
THAT DREAM HAD HUNG AROUND
WELL I SCREAMED AT IT TO LEAVE
OH HOW I SCREAMED AT IT TO GO
AND IN MY DREAM OR SCREAM I SEEMED
TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO

Play Full Moon
03:44
|
|||
The moon’s looking big
and the moon’s looking bright
The moon is looking
mighty playful tonight
Call me from the edge
call me to the light
Call me back to
where it feels all right
Senses on a journey
taste and feel and sight
Bodies are a road map
souls are taking flight
Big ol’ moon in the month of May
Sing a song and come out to play
And we’re dancin’
And we’re movin'
And we’re bright
And we’re shining
And we’re playin'
And we’re singin'
And we’re light
We’re outa sight
And our bodies
are right
And our souls
take flight

Faith In Me
04:14
|
|||
Before I put my faith in you,
Before I put my faith in anything,
Before I get down on bended knee,
I gotta have some faith in me.
Before the sun comes up again,
Before the tide comes rushing in,
Before this song has been set free,
I gotta have some faith in me.
Before the summer sun shines down,
Before I feel the winter chill,
Before a leaf falls from a tree,
I gotta have some faith in me.
Before I see a child grow,
Before I make a smile appear,
Before my tired eyes can see,
I gotta have some faith in me.
Before I say what's done is done,
Before I use some old cliche,
Before I hesitate to disagree,
I gotta have some faith in me.
Before it's time to leave this world,
Before i turn and wave goodbye,
Before i throw the dice to see
I gotta have some faith in me.
I gotta have, I gotta have,
I gotta have some faith in me.
I gotta have, I gotta have,
I gotta have some faith in me

Northern Haze
05:51

It’s like a taste of heaven
sweet’n’powdery blue
there’s nothing quite so heavenly as
steaming tropical green
Cast my eyes down to the earth
black’n’red’n’ochre I see
When the sun sets the sky on fire
I feel the ecstasy
Northern haze
you caught my gaze
Northern soul
will always be...
with me
I’m gonna take a little heaven
and some sweet’n’powdery blue
and with my piece of heaven
I’ll take some tropical green
and as I travel around this earth
I’ll take black’n’red’n’ochre with me
and as the sun sets on my days
I’ll feel the ecstacy
Northern haze
you caught my gaze
Northern soul
will always be...
with me

Moondogs Blues Mount Lyford Village, New Zealand
Moondog Blues
His stringed instruments are mostly metal…
and modestly abused. Add to this a
nocturnal freight train voice, harmonica, thumping thumb, stomping left foot and right there you have some of the finest Mojo Juju Zombie Voodoo Black Cat Bluz A Billy
…possessed, heartfelt and real. And then there is 'the Band' with Ben&Matt Drum&Bass or just the jumping' 2Peice with drummer Ben or Scott
