Alan’s House

 Alan’s House

 

There was beer on tap but it was warm               

The theme of the screams was don’t conform     

On stage in a rage the bands played a storm               

We were somewhat cooler than the norm                   

 

Hanging at Alan’s house what a treat

Memorial Day had never been so sweet

Hanging at Alan’s house on Forest Street

Hanging at Alan’s house life’s complete

 

Where are you going why the hurry?

There’s more to life than the next worry

Find a place in the sun let go have some fun

When tomorrow comes the day is done

 

Hanging at Alan’s house what a treat

Memorial Day had never been so sweet

Hanging at Alan’s house on Forest Street

Hanging at Alan’s house life’s complete

 

The landlords trying to evict Pam

Finance is a fancy word for a scam

When they want you to fight they’ll wave the flag

Meanwhile on stage the drummer’s in drag

 

Hanging at Alan’s house what a treat

Memorial Day had never been so sweet

Hanging at Alan’s house on Forest Street

Hanging at Alan’s house life’s complete

 

I have a radio show called the six degrees

I got shelves of records and I play what I please

When I say nuke the world it’s only satire

Peace on Earth is our unquenching desire

 

Slowly the sun sets in the gentle night

For every good thing there’s a grand fight

But for the moment we are lost in the show

Love is the answer that we all know

 

Hanging at Alan’s house what a treat

Memorial Day had never been so sweet

Hanging at Alan’s house on Forest Street

Hanging at Alan’s house life’s complete

Rock And Roll Lady

In Memory of Tina Turner!

Rock And Roll Lady

 

I’m hitchhiking a ride to New Orleans                    

Gonna hang out with the closet queens          

There’s a pawn shop that sells used dreams            

And I’m looking for a brand-new scene                  

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

Born in poverty living in troubled times

Feel the fight resonating in the rhymes

When you got nothing you take a chance

Rock and Roll Lady do you want to dance?

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

I heard your man treated you really cruel

Every now and then we all play the fool

One day you woke up and found the door

Ain’t gonna take that abuse no more

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

I got my plastic records and my phonograph

Rock and Roll Lady you make me laugh

Rock and Roll Lady you make me cry

Rock and Roll Lady you can never die

 

Riches and fame were part of the prize

But the true treasure was getting wise

Rock and Roll Lady never compromise

Good things come to the one who tries

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

All The Little Hombres

 All The Little Hombres

 

Across the sea America shines in hypocrisy                    

If you have sufficient cash you can be free                      

From the barrios and slums of the third world                 

They come to the oyster searching for the pearl               

 

All the little hombres in a circle smoking hash

All the little hombres want to get paid off in cash

There's Juan, Stan, Miguel and don’t forget Jose

All the little hombres work hard through the day

 

We scream the sacred dream that we call get rich quick

The diet of capitalism will make you sick

Blood and oil the dressings on the salad of war

Come be the foot soldiers of Babylon the Whore

 

All the little hombres in a circle smoking hash

All the little hombres want to get paid off in cash

There's Juan, Stan, Miguel and don’t forget Jose

All the little hombres work hard through the day

 

She says I love you with pornographic red lips

Slowly she struts swaying her sultry wide hips

Come on baby I’m down on my knees not to pray

But first to quench my thirst there’s a price to pay

 

All the little hombres in a circle smoking hash

All the little hombres want to get paid off in cash

There's Juan, Stan, Miguel and don’t forget Jose

All the little hombres work hard through the day

 

Fear of getting deported the pay is low

Freezing night stomach tight a hard blow

But there is both hatred and love to give

All the little hombres just want to live

 

Songs of revolution in their native tongue

Many years ago they were hungry naïve and young

Calloused hands crooked back their pockets empty

All the little hombres live a sad destiny

 

All the little hombres in a circle smoking hash

All the little hombres want to get paid off in cash

There's Juan, Stan, Miguel and don’t forget Jose

All the little hombres work hard through the day

Valley Girl

Valley Girl

 

Daddy’s little girl a pretty princess she gets all she wants                

Laughing with the millionaires’ children they’re all debutants        

When you have everything, everything becomes nothing                

So she runs the streets searching she’s always searching

 

She’s a valley girl seeking thrills

She’s a valley girl popping pills

A tragedy of the grandest style

She’s a valley girl oh what a smile

 

She sounds funny got plenty of money and all her jokes ain’t funny

Daddy is a proper prude cheating now and then with a Playboy bunny

Mother knows the secret but keeps it so things don’t fall apart

And our dear valley girl mourns all the day with a broken heart

 

She’s a valley girl seeking thrills

She’s a valley girl popping pills

A tragedy of the grandest style

She’s a valley girl oh what a smile

 

Too young to date she watches movies that are x rated

Innocent or spoiled that’s an issue that needs to be debated

Our valley girl dreams of true love but it’s really only lust

She knows hundreds of peers but none are near enough to trust

 

She’s a valley girl seeking thrills

She’s a valley girl popping pills

A tragedy of the grandest style

She’s a valley girl oh what a smile

 

Don’t tell me I don’t have proper talk

Or that my hips sway too much as I walk

Fourteen going on maybe twenty-eight

Only a child to be an adult she can’t wait

 

Front row at the pop show she and the gals smoking the best grass

She’ll try to go backstage even though she doesn’t have a pass

She’ll forfeit her future for a single moment in time

She’s a valley girl but is being a valley girl a crime?

 

She’s a valley girl seeking thrills

She’s a valley girl popping pills

A tragedy of the grandest style

She’s a valley girl oh what a smile
