Cigarette #3
That's the one I'm on
Cigarette #3
That's part of what went wrong
Cause it's only 7:30 on another morning
and what do I see?
I got to pull from the back another pack
Oh why do I confuse my life, compound my problems?
Why can't I put them away. I've already had some.
Coffee #2
How'd you know that's what I'd say
Coffee #2
Cafeine on the brain and I'm on my way
It's only 7:30 on another morning
don't know what I'm going to be
but when the caffeine is injected
i do expect it to move me
Oh why do I confuse my life compound my problems
Why can't I put them away. I've already had some.
Girlfriend #4 finally showed me door
Girlfriend #4
I don't think I want a girlfriend anymore
Oh why do I confuse my life, compound my problems?
Oh why did I push her away? I always wanted one.

Many think you broached the statosphere
Many have watched you from afar
Amazed by the strength of your rise into the world of fame
Many have seen you fall too far
All the million star stuck witnesses
Can’t believe in a falling star
And a million other cynics are
So glad to watch you fall so far
So Far out
Falling stars will shine
So brief and bright they will be seen
Sundown on your carousel
Aren’t you glad to be off that ride?
So you took it all too seriously
And so it threw you around for a while
Hey well you made a lot of the record books
And I know you made a lot of smiles
And a million star stuck witness
They can’t believe in the falling star
And a million other cynics are
So glad to watch you fall so far
So Far out
Falling stars will shine
So brief and bright they will be seen
It’s the sundown on your carousel
Aren’t you glad to be off that ride

Suffering People

Suffering children
Suffering you and me
Suffering world
Tell me why should it be?
I'm looking up high
but why should I see
suffering children
suffering you and me
I hurt you
You hurt me
Suffering children
Why should it be?
A heart of stone
it's hard to go forward.

Charlie

The rain fell hard the day they met
He can’t forget
The way
She looked in blue
So they fell in love
And with not much discourse
They had a child
They named him Charlie because
That was the name of her father’s father
So Charlie grew and as he grew
He soon knew
Of the beauty
The beauty of the world all around him
The beauty all around
And Charlie’s dad would play
Out in the garden any day
To show his boy his love
And Charlies mom would say
Sometimes
Oh Charlie you’re such a beautiful baby
And Charlie would goo and think
Hey look at you, you are my only darling mother
You always show me your love
You make me feel so fine.
Then one bright day Charlie’s dad didn’t play
Out in the sunlight in the garden
Charlie looked at his mother
and knew that no other
person was going to bring his dad back
and Charlie’s dad outside the wall
cried and cried
said let me see my
Sunshine.. I want you
Sunshine …I want to talk to you
I want to take back everything that
I ever said wrong to your mother
But Charlie’s mom wouldn’t take him back
No matter what he’d say
She said our love is gone forever.
But Charlie wanted so bad
To have his mom and his dad
Back the way they used to be
Charlie’s mom changed so much
And his dad
Fell out of touch
And Charlie grew
Too sad for a boy.
So the boy would
Shout and whine and say
No you, you’re not mine
My mother loved my father
He used to call me his
Sunshine and wipe away my tears
And say I’m going to keep away those fears
I’ll protect you from anything that ever could go wrong
And as the years dragged by
That little boy learned
That there’s no such thing as love
And Charlie’s mom and dad
Felt the love that they once had
Should never ever have gone wrong
They didn’t talk, they didn’t walk together
They didn’t have a lot to say.
Please keep alive what you’ve got
Let it survive let it breath
Don’t let it die
Because it’s hard sometime
To work it out but please try
Some days good lives are on the line

It All Comes Around
03:56

Too long doing things that don't contribute at all
and so long wasting time forgetting that there's a curtain call
it's just a foretaste of a bad embrace that will just take you down
It's almost a dream
But it's not a dream
and it all comes around.
Long days of short plays on youtube all the time
and all the time spent online watching pointless media
And going blind from screen time for seeing what you saw
It's a travesty.
And it all comes around.
And it all comes down.
By the way, buy today
put away nothing at all
because material is superior to anything spiritual
and big time sports line, bet you want to bet it all
it's a common theme.
And it all comes around.
And it all come down

Out in the simpering night
the breathing heat
a streak of light
out beyond the fire light
I heard a voice
I heard a cry
I heard it most clearly
I heard the full dark swing
called me up to speak
he said please sit down
your mine now
you can't hurt me
his lantern eyes,
and owls beak,
howling wind
wild shriek
I wouldn't go in there
No I wouldn't go in there
cause the hearts gone
the the eyes are torn out
and he can't see me
but it's after me
Deserts of burning sand
sand and burning feet
beggars in endless lines
Chances are
the sky goes dark
and the darkness brings...

I Can't Bowl

I can't bowl
never could
never had the time to get good
I can't bowl
and you can tell
I guess it maybe it's just as well
that I can't bowl

Greg Paquette Hamilton, Ontario
Was born on a derigible to Russian foreign operatives during the 2nd World War. An accident over Germany's Black Forest left me alone and helpless. I was rescued by a band of kindly squirrels who raised me as thier own. Two years later I was discovered by a band of travelling gypsy minstrels, I was ravaged by scurvy and rickets but they took me in and taught me music. I still had scurvy. ... more
