Chorus: One: The book says that It’s true. Just look it up. And Two: The Daily paper also got the fact. In every detail Quite exact. Three: The radio says the same and the Claim is backed by T.V. The media all agree! The Emperor is naked now. Time is moving on. Eyes can touch the ray of hope. Here come the dawn. The sheriff help the people now. Them who have a need. No more tearing out the plant. Now protect the seed. Safe is now the alley way. Shelter from the cold. Infant peace now has a chance of slowly growing old. (solo) Glorious fertility smiling on the land. Now the plow and guitar strings callusing the hand. Infinite the harmony of voices in the song Dissonant and consonant. Everyone belong. Why? cuz... Chorus Easy as One, Two and Three...

Hands 02:54
Hands Oh, my oh my, ei, ei, ei, % I am entranced by your sweet caressive hands, the way they, as if by chance, dance as if I was a piano, as if a lead up to romance, wish they would advance. I don't blame ya for the way you play the game, hold your cards, show no aim, hold the hand close, the same all the time, so no one knows the line, you tow so fine. It All very well may be a fantasy of mine. Oh, my oh my, ei, ei, ei, % I am entranced by your sweet caressive hands, the way they, as if by chance, dance as if I was a piano, as if a lead up to romance, wish they would advance. Instrumental Bridge: % So as the hands of the clock on the tower advance by a year, bringing me here, to a Foreign land. % I understand, the way you move your hand ain't nothing I command. % Oh, my oh my, ei, ei, ei, % I am entranced by your sweet caressive hands, the way they, as if by chance, dance as if I was a piano, as if a lead up to romance, wish they would advance.

Been through a Lot. Got the scar to prove it. Got a great Plan to remove it. A remedy to Soothe it, soothe it, soothe it. It’s Chorus: Posi-Posi-Positivity, Posi-Posi-Positivity Posi-Posi-Positivity, Positivity Bridge Who do I wanna be? Positivity. Positivity. Happiness got a Key: Positivity. Positivity.

Coloring Book History from which we learn To spurn what it may teach Diligent. Repeat mistakes. Shipwreck on the beach. History the wall we bang Our heads on with conviction. Paint the bricks with our blood. The circle of addiction. History the coloring book. Got to paint it how I like Be the jailer. Be the judge Call a ball. Call a strike. (solo) History the frame I fill. With death and pain and tears. Our way to promise peace. Stoking all the fears. History the privy bucket. Thrown out on the street. Disease and rot and violence. For other folk to eat. History the coloring book. Got to paint it how I like Be the jailer. Be the judge Call a ball. Call a strike. (solo) History the broken sculpture Glue back on the arms Never ask the price it cost Abandoning the farms History the coloring book. Got to paint it how I like Be the jailer. Be the judge Be the jailer. Be the judge Call a ball. Call a strike.

Smile for me sugar pie. French as a fry. Sweet as a pie. Down on your pillow you lie. Dream that your heart can fly Through the sky. Fly little one for me. You are the bird. I am the tree. Be as a bird will be. See what a bird will see. Free, free, free. Like the moon and the tide I'll be off for a ride. Like the tide and the moon I'll be back very soon. I'll be back soon. Fly through the starry night. All is alright. Wonderful flight. Flying as high as a kite. Just ask the moon for light. eyes shut tight. Breathe in the light of the moon. Stars r in bloom, lite up yo’ room, making you laugh like a loon. Think of a happy tune. See you soon. Like the moon and the tide I'll be off for a ride. Like the tide and the moon I'll be back very soon. I'll be back soon.

A uniform was once imposed. A blind was shadowing the cost. Long the road and long the time To learn what I had lost. Continents and oceans Subject to control And only deep inside of me A peace was of the whole. There ain’t no one who owns me. A lot who share a peace. Dreaming of the future. Flying like the geese. Government and regulation Favouring the few. Putting out mosquito screen For me to see them through. Conglomerates as people. Lacking any soul. Ain’t that what the bible says: The devil, dark as coal. There ain’t no one who owns me. A lot who share a peace. Dreaming of the future. Flying like the geese.

Come, Go, Live is a Show What comin' next, I don't know. Come, Go, Live is a Show What comin' next, I don't know. Birds of song and of love. Melodies I'm dreamin' of. The color and the touch of the sound The Taste and the smell of the sky. The Taste and the smell of the ground. Come, Go, Live is a Show What comin' next, I don't know. Come, Go, Live is a Show What comin' next, I don't know. (instrumental) The up and the down of the road The feather light weight of my load The tune of the song in my head The flowers, the grass, green and blue Yellow and purple and red. Come, Go, Live is a Show What comin' next, I don't know. Come, Go, Live is a Show What comin' next, I don't know.

C Em And rising with the moon Em C B7(b9) (Solo) Tears are water that will travel Em C When it merges with the earth. Em C Sorrow vanish in the gravel Em C Bring about another birth. Em C B7(b9) Chorus (Solo) Sun will rise. Sun will fall. Em C That we can’t revise at all. Em C Hedonize! Fantasize! Em C Truly wise folk improvise! Em C B7(b9) Chorus

I missed your smile for a while. By your wiles I am beguiled. You left your hoodie carefully piled. Not that it’s left me terribly riled. It reminds me mostly of your style for which I’d walk a gazillion miles. Anyway, I hope, you won’t revile My loneliness induced case of piles.

Bad Bad Boy 02:51
Not wasting money Just wasting time Spending my life Cuz it is mine. Hanging around Trying to feel free Is not the way that I'm supposed to be. Yes I am a Bad Bad Bay, a Bad Bad Boy, a Bad Bad Bay, a Bad Bad Boy, Smoking A cigarette I throw it away It blows my head. Yes I am a Bad Bad Bay, a Bad Bad Boy, a Bad Bad Bay, a Bad Bad Boy,

about

My album “Heartbeat” is about positivity, love and hope. Every song on it is accompanied by a story, a guitar and a perspective. Sorrow vanishes in the gravel and brings about another birth.
