Dougie Draws Dirigibles
02:23
|
|

Dougie draws dirigibles in the middle of the night
Trixie tries triceratops, it makes her feel alright
Sherlock was a reptile in another life
He finds it hard to shake it off, he cannot find a wife
He cannot find a wife.
Time is our ally, time is our friend
Time is super special, because it never ends
Yes Dr. No, hey Mr. Right,
I heard you in the alleyway you gave me such a fright.
Teddy plays the harpsichord, it’s what he likes to do
Sally plays harmonica, she wants to play for you
Daddy was a monster, he came out of the swamp
Mommy is an angel who enjoys a midnight romp
Enjoys a midnight romp.
Time is our ally, time is our friend
Time is super special, because it never ends
Yes Dr. No, hey Mr. Right,
I heard you in the alleyway you gave me such a fright.
Whoo ha! Dr. No! Mr. Right! Dougie draws dirigibles in the middle of the night!
Time is our ally, time is our friend
Time is super special, because it never ends
Yes Dr. No, hey Mr. Right,
I heard you in the alleyway you gave me such a fright!

Hug Your Hamster
03:10
|
|

Hug your hamster, train your monkey
Take it slow, keep it funky
You will never, ever make it
Till you learn how to shake it
Till you learn how to shake it
Mother Mary, Sister Sally, don’t belong in an alley
We must provide all their needs
We must give till we bleed
We must give till we bleed
Does anybody know what it takes to live while it hurts?
Does anybody know how it feels to eat carrots and dirt?
And I don’t know what you mean when you say that I must choose between two extremes.
Hug your hamster, make your money
Spend it fast, spend it funny
We never ever feel it, till we learn to reveal it
Till we learn to reveal it
Hug your lover, kiss your brother
We must love one another
Before the lights go out, before we have to shout,
Before we have to shout
Does anybody know what it means to lack vitamins and greens?
Does anybody know how it feels to relapse and reveal?
I don’t know what you mean when you say I must live my life like a magazine
Hug your hamster, train your monkey
Take it slow, keep it funky
We will never ever make it, till we learn to shake it
Till we learn to shake it
Hug your lover, kiss your brother
We must love one another
Before the lights go out, before it's time to shout,
Before it's time to shout!

The Spanish Twist
03:14
|
|
||
Focused on the singular, colorful, triangular
Forget to recall the meaning of it all
You love to hate those who create
Scapegoat me and lock the gate
It’s under control of the darkness of your soul
Turn the page unlock the cage where desperate people tell
Interesting fascinating stories that you sell
It’s an interesting pain that brings me back again
There’s something else at play besides the masquerade
It’s the Spanish twist that makes me feel like this
It’s the Spanish twist that makes me feel like this
If we start again, where would we begin
If we start again, where then would we end?

Imaginary Enemy
02:27
|
|
||
Some people have the best of friends
The kind that stay there till the end
Some people have no friends at all
The earth is just a muddy ball
I have a friend who’s not a friend
My heart will break my mind will bend
He wants to make a mess of me
My imaginary enemy
Imaginary Enemy, why do you always stay?
Why can’t my best intentions make you go away?
Anyone can see, that you’re no good for me. Hah!
There’s a friend who’s not a friend
He wants to make the world end
He wiped out half the Israelites
He said they didn’t treat Him right
Everyone wants world peace
The kind that makes the conflicts cease
Get on our knees, “God help us please.”
“And vanquish all our enemies.”
Imaginary Enemy, why do you always stay?
Why can’t my best intentions make you go away?
Anyone can see, that you’re no good for me.
Peace, send me some peace, love send it to me
Prayers offer them up, I wish that you would take this cup
Some people have imaginary friends
A rabbit through a camera lens
Someone send a friend to me, and take away this enemy.
Imaginary Enemy, why do you always stay?
Why can’t my best intentions make you go away?
Anyone can see, that you’re no good for me. Hah!

Creature Features
03:08
|
|
||
I walk all alone every night in a dream
And it always feels the same
I walk all alone every night in a dream
And the angels know my name
Creature features take me there
And I want to go back home
Creature features make me scared
I don’t want to be alone.
I walk all alone every night and I’m scared
Of what the shadows hold
I walk all alone in the dark
And the ghosts of the past always lead me home.
Creature features take me there
And I want to change my name
Creature features make me scared
It’s the nature of their game.
Is the creature really me?
Where’s the truth to set me free?
There’s a light too dim to see, and I need love, love, love
Is the creature really me?
Where’s the truth to set me free?
There’s a light too dim to see, and I need love, love, love, love.

Hot Pepper
03:10
|
|
||
Bianca set me up with some incongruous stuff
Hot pepper!
When you think you had enough that's when things get really tough
Hot pepper!
I did not know, how could I know? It’s hot pepper.
I did not know, how could I know? It’s hot pepper.
I didn't know what she's doing this thing will be my ruin
Hot pepper hot pepper hot pepper hot pepper
How can I be the best when I cannot pass the test?
Hot Pepper, Hot Pepper. Hot Pepper. Hot Pepper
I did not know, how could I know? It's hot pepper.
I did not know, how could I know? It's hot pepper.
Alchemy is alive
Alchemy is alright
Alchemy is alive
Alchemy is alright
Bianca tries to fool me anyway she can
Hot pepper Hot Pepper Hot pepper Hot Pepper.
'Cause she gets her plan from the company man
Hot pepper Hot Pepper Hot Pepper Hot Pepper
Alchemy is alive
Alchemy is alright
Alchemy is alive
Alchemy is alright
Alchemy is alive
Alchemy is alright
Alchemy is alive
Alchemy is alright

Mellow As Jello

|

I'm mellow, I'm mellow as jello.
I'm mellow, I'm a very mellow fellow.
Then the angels came.
Then the angels came.
Then the angels came. Aaaaah.
I'm mellow, I'm mellow like jello.
I'm mellow, I'm a very mellow fellow.
Then the angels came.
Then the angels came.
Then the angels came. Aaaaah.

My Obituary
03:38
|
|
||
You said I was a fool
I hope it isn't true
But if I was a fool darling
You know it was for you
Living on the edge can make you quite contrary
Saw me sitting on the ledge typing 'Hello, Harry,"
If they say I kicked your dog and kissed your Uncle Larry
Let them know it isn't true, in my obituary..
Those things you said were cruel
They hurt me through and through
I wish you'd tell the truth darling
For the sake of me and you
It starts out with a dreamer with a heart of honey
Who hooks up with a schemer with a lust for money
If they say I lost control and got a little scary
Let them know it isn't true
In my obituary, in my obituary.
Living on the edge can bring you lots of trouble
When you're on the losing end of a techno pop bubble
You said I was a fool
I hope it isn't true
Though if i was a fool darling
You know it was for you
Happy Ever After is a strange idea
When you want to fill your home with products from IKEA
If they say I sold my soul for things imaginary
Let them know it isn't true
In my obituary, in my obituary
(Between the lines, in black and white
It's gonna take a lot of love to make it right)

Forever Yours
03:39
|
|
||
Whispering winds call my name as your image runs through my mind
The life we've begun is a dream from a page of the book of love
I send you this song on the wings of a dove
You are to me what the sun is to the moon
Shining brightly upon me, filling dark spaces up
You are to me what the sun is to the moon
I am forever yours
What was to be will not pass there's a future that's undefined
What we desire can be ours if we'd just dare to look above
I send you this song on the wings of a dove
You are to me what the sun is to the moon
Shining brightly upon me, filling dark spaces up
You are to me what the sun is to the moon
I am forever yours

brick bosso Los Angeles, California
I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
