Up along the waterfront
Your can get the things you want
Fish and chips or fresh air
It’s so fun to be down there
So down the hall and up the street
Let’s find a place where it’s good to eat
Yellow taxi flying past
They’re always in a hurry
Cars jam the roads tonight
Streets are lit by electric light
Alls a riot of people moving
It has got me laughing
All the world’s a moving stage
People play the parts they play
Behind the scene the playwright makes
Endless edges of happenings
What we’re seeing here is just camouflage
A slight resemblance but a real mirage
A real mirage
I found a lonely case, a lonely world lost in space
Oh look what’ve got to do? Should we all be dancing?
Up upon the open stage, the open world in open space
Or charge the laws, or change the wheel, or stay up all night dancing
Like a dancing fool
So fancy free
Oh what we’re seeing here is just a camouflage
A slight resemblance but a real mirage

Dusted off your fancy hat
Brought out the city map
slapped it into the pack didn't you
and we stepped out on the avenue
Where bright colors lined the way,
I think they were having a gay parade
and i don't mean gay like they say today
I mean it the way like they used to say
and dear me, what a dust up
all the chip shops were busy that day
write it in to the papers
but they don't want to know
about things we have to say
on our holiday

Going to Be Okay

Hot sun, summer sun blue sky today
warm wind blows in blows me away
We've found that sound that seems to say
Everything that's been, is going to be okay
Too long far gone
gone gone away
I've been spread thin
and need to say
It's time and that's fine
to get away
it's time and that's fine.
And when the sun is going down,
we'll watch the moon rise,
nothing like the colors of the fading sky
Sacred night so beautiful,
makes everything blue.
alright.

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
