WAITING GAME

When it was brighter
A random feeling
Decent knowhow from the start
Tactic be-well takes appealing
Classic tune descends apart

You act like it's a waiting-game
but I still feel the same
Leave me standing in the wings
with everything or nothing to gain

Meanwhile there's been
silence 'til now
As I dream of you and me
All I ask of you is to recognise

Answer me, Answer me
Answer me today
Answer me, Answer me
Show me that you care

If ya fail me
Won't be the first time
I've been let down once before

RAIN DAYZ

Well the fog rolled in too soon
just the other day
Thought I caught a glimpse thru the haze
A sweet memory
Rolling Fields, Golden Hills,
Skies were grey

And the Rainy Day's comin'
Ain't too far away
When it gets here
You know it's gonna stay
So why not let the rain
Wash your blues away

Saw a rain painted child
In a window scene
Said my words are too few
And far between
Rain Day scheming
Only tell where you've been

Are you there
In the shadows of my mind
Are you there, Sweet baby
Or am I blind?
Are you there
In the shadows of my mind

Tear drops melting
Down into the sea
Betray no secrets
People want to be free
Leave no trace
Of lives wishing to be

RAD CITY

Think I'm movin' to Rad City
Shake off this social glue (gloom)
And be free

Old wave ideas are long gone
New wave has missed the illusive song
It's rad ideas communication strong
In Rad City . . .

You got the corner on the hip
But we gonna give you a tip
Take your mojo
Music will never make you old
Breakin' the story
Will make it explode
In Rad City . . .

No one's afraid in Rad City
They got it made in Rad City
Got things to say in Rad City

New wave ideas avant garde
Old wave has missed,
what's gone wrong?
It's rad ideas communication strong
In Rad City . . .

You got the corner on the hip
But we gonna give you a tip
Take your old mode
Music will never make you old
All of the story has never been told
In Rad City . . .

No one's afraid in Rad City
We all get paid in Rad City
Got things to say in Rad City
No dues to pay in Rad City
In Rad City . . .

ACT LIKE A MONKEY . . .

Hey now!
No need to be a square
Don't pay no mind
to what's goin' out there

It ain't nothin'
for you to worry 'bout
Your monkey's uncle
Mon frére derriére

Don't let 'em tell ya
what you wanna do
Act like a monkey !

Swing back and forth
in your lazay-boy chair
Get dat beat down to da flo'
Act like a monkey !

Stick it up there
and see if it hangs up
Act like a monkey !

PEOPLE CARING PEOPLE

People caring people
will get you all around
It's people caring people
that's helpin' love go down

We all need one another
Let's all go outta bounds
It's people caring people
are gonna make the sounds

There's room on this Earth for everyone
Just stop and do your thing
It's people caring people
That makes tender lovin' ring

It's givin' and not takin'
With nothin' in return
It's people caring people
that's learnin' how to learn . . .

There's a place for all the ones who give
Feeling the warmth of the sun
Forgivin' not forgettin'
That livin' can be fun

We all need one another
Everybody needs a friend
It's people caring people
That win out in the end . . .

WHERE DO U STAND ?

Better stand up tall
Gotta straighten it out
It's time to take stock of your life
Find out what it's really about

Do we need another peaceful revolution?
There's not a whole lotta time
Do we wanna see hatred take us over?
You gotta make up your mind . . .
Where Do U Stand ?

Better stand up now
I hope you got it straight
People, you got to get together
And work it out without hate

If you know, you gotta realize
You got to learn to love your brothers
If you don't clean up your act now
There'll be no world for you mothers!
Where Do U Stand ?

Anybody here has got a choice
How do you want your life to be?
To live in freedom or in fear?
Don't try to blame it
or leave it up to me!

Where Do U Stand ?

WHAT BIG MAMA SAY !

All the little boys
have to give up all their little toys
She say we gotta pay
for all those parties that we play

No more blowin' bubbles
Or playin' in the sandy box
'Cuz that Big Mama is smarter than a fox

She's gonna kick you back
to the generic cigarette section
And you'll be a-pickin'
a musical non-selection

She be messin' with our minds
You gotta leave it all behind
She be tellin' us what to do
But it's up to us to pull it through

That What Big Mama Say . . . !

She's runnin' the machine
And needs an obligation
Tellin' us we gotta clean up
And be a congregation

SAME AS ALWAYS

Flying high on a road train
Can't find my way
And there's nothin' to say

Goin' way back to when I was born
And there's nothin' to talk about
But always . . .

There's a venture in every eye
you see
And there's nothing you can do about it
'Course there's always a time
where you can just sit back
and not realise what you ever would be doin'

Ohhhh . . .

Just stretch out
and take a moment just to remember
That there's nothing
that can be your friend
Soaring way above the sky
may be a dream,
but only fools will ride

Ohhhh . . .

Now the reasons may be assorted
But there's no way of finding
your way
I say, I cannot be that way
around it
'Cuz there's just nothing
you will say

Flyin' high --
Away down by the senate
Flyin' high --

You may say that I may be not precocious
But there's nothin' you can say
to make me believe you

I know one remedy for this
new notion
And there's nothing you can say
to make me understand

Flyin' high --
Away above the clouds
And there's nothin' to say

LOVE FREE TODAY

Livin' lovin' woman
Livin' lovin' man
Hold me close sweet baby
Hold me while you can

The reason why
I'm singin' this song
The reason why
I'm hangin' on . . .
Is just for you girl . . .

Livin' lovin' woman
Livin' lovin' man
Show me how to love, girl
I know that you can

C'mon let's live together
Love Free Today
Learn how to love forever
Love Free Today

We gotta live together, baby
We gotta love together, right now
We gotta learn to live together,
forever, that's 4ever
Love Freeeee Todayyyy!

MACARONI & CHEESE

Well I'm broke as a begger
But I live like a King
Eating green cheese and wine sauce
And I don't need a thing

Got my papers in order
I can drive and buy beer
But I got no insurance
Premiums are dear

Driving my mazaraté
Fender bent like my knees
Never eat Mexicalé
Macaroni & Cheese

Broke, Broke
Like a begger
Broke, Broke
Like a banker

Well I'm broke as a banker
But I knew Dr. King
I'm on a new twelve step program
I got junk bonds to sling

ANY WORLD WILL DO

When the rainbow comes
you get out of touch
with what we've tried to do

Then you just don't know
which way to turn
to see your dream come true

It shines so bright
you just can't see
the truth that's meant for you
You just wanna throw it all away
'Cuz Any World Will Do

But it's ok
You don't have to worry (hurry)
Just lie on your back
and learn to float

Keep on sailin' through
It's all up to you
('Cuz Any World Will Do)

EXPRESSIONLESS ONES

Where did you go?
I'm still standing there
Why did you know?
More shining tomorrows
run through my hands

Against the shielding beam
By my own ways I see
Bending the light
And you'll soon agree

Mending sparing choices
Without telling them
The Expressionless Ones
Shouting won't succeed you
This place is knowing
So tread with a smile . . .

Where did you go?
I've seen you here
How could that sound
race on for years?

Wait, there's more
Must there be a show?
Can't there be life and love?
When it is known
For all to see
Then you will return . . .
