Something Funky

 Something Funky

 

Nanana was my favorite chic freak of the weak       

Saturday evening at the bar I was hitting my peak                

The golden sun glistened glowing on her pinkish hair          

In the mourning I said hey baby what you doing here?         

 

I came in for something funky don’t you know

Like front row tickets for the fashion show

I am a lover and a fighter like two is two

I came in for something funky and that’s you

 

At Sunday morning service they played the honkey-tonk

The lesbian reverend was preaching on the wages of zonk

We were full of the spirit rolling up and down the aisles

The children hit the sacred wine bursting with bubbly smiles

 

I came in for something funky don’t you know

Like front row tickets for the fashion show

I am a lover and a fighter like two is two

I came in for something funky and that’s you

 

Monday morning I awoke to relive the nine to five

Nanana was cooking bacon and eggs to survive

I said darling I need some coffee and I need it hot

She smiled showing all her golden teeth “Oh damn I forgot”

 

I came in for something funky don’t you know

Like front row tickets for the fashion show

I am a lover and a fighter like two is two

I came in for something funky and that’s you

 

Rats running in the maze run alone

Love is a mystery with so much unknown

He is a she or she is a he confusion avails

The muted poet he spins the best tales

 

The weddings in late March she bursts out without a look

My time of month was stolen most likely by a crook

Smiles on her face transformed to a hurricane of tears

There are things that frighten you and then there are real fears

 

I came in for something funky don’t you know

Like front row tickets for the fashion show

I am a lover and a fighter like two is two

I came in for something funky and that’s you

Why Is It My Fault

 Why Is It My Fault

 

Woke up a December morning the sun was shining on you                                      

I tried to remember the evening but it was hard to do                                               

The sanctity of sleep had conquered your face but a smile lingered on                    

I got dressed in a silent rush and in five minutes I was gone                                    

 

It’s open to debate but why is it my fault

Caught between love and hate why is it my fault

I ain’t the light of the Earth I ain’t the salt

Can’t we blame God why is it my fault

 

Santa Claus was ringing his bell for the Salvation Army

He was nipping on the bottle but that fact didn’t alarm me

I tossed in a dollar hoping that it would really go to the poor

I thought of giving you a call but something in me wasn’t sure

 

It’s open to debate but why is it my fault

Caught between love and hate why is it my fault

I ain’t the light of the Earth I ain’t the salt

Can’t we blame God why is it my fault

 

There are ten thousand horses stampeding inside my beating heart

I remember your words “Every act of love is an act of art”

Well darling it takes two to tangle and that ain’t no maybe

It’s hard to be happy when you’re weeping over the coming baby

 

It’s open to debate but why is it my fault

Caught between love and hate why is it my fault

I ain’t the light of the Earth I ain’t the salt

Can’t we blame God why is it my fault

 

I’m just a part time song writer stuck on the blues

One man’s tragedy another’s good news

I wish the world could be a kinder place

Money honey has hijacked the human race

 

Your knitting stockings shocking pink and it makes me kinda think

That the night really ain’t black it’s only just a puddle of spilled ink

Alone is a state of mind there are over eight billion down here

With a sigh I accept the lie and reach over to draw you near

 

It’s open to debate but why is it my fault

Caught between love and hate why is it my fault

I ain’t the light of the Earth I ain’t the salt

Can’t we blame God why is it my fault

Two Plus Two Equals Five

Two Plus Two Equals Five

 

Cosmic pilgrims slipping moondust into the sacred wine                 

Shakespeare on acid tripping lusting for the right line          

Jesus on the mountain top he’s feeding five thousand souls             

Jim Morrison drunk refusing to pay the parkway tolls                      

 

Two plus two equals five

We’re passing through the great divide

Mankind is gonna survive

Two plus two equals five

 

Apollo was an outright lie but Aphrodite divine

Bankers bowing to golden Baal crying mine mine mine

I heard a rumor that Bob Dylan was selling out

I believe in true love but I confess sometimes I doubt

 

Two plus two equals five

We’re passing through the great divide

Mankind is gonna survive

Two plus two equals five

 

Where are we going where have we been?

Babylon the whore waging war in sin

Planet Earth spinning spinning spinning

Satan looking on grinning grinning grinning

 

When you get out on the yard you gotta rock and roll

Are you aware that somewhere there is a man in control?

The great Pele could score a goal from almost midfield

One day the mathematics professors are going to yield

 

Two plus two equals five

We’re passing through the great divide

Mankind is gonna survive

Two plus two equals five

 

Last time I tried to check the clocks were still keeping time

All of the popular melodies have rhythm and rhyme

In February’s chill I’m still looking forward to spring

Poetry is fine but I want something that I can sing

 

Two plus two equals five

We’re passing through the great divide

Mankind is gonna survive

Two plus two equals five

Hey Johnny

 Hey Johnny

 

Everyone who ever strummed the guitar                   

Everyone who spun the story of a star                       

Everyone who hitchhiked the magic mile                  

Hey baby maybe you can still smile?                        

 

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

I wrote it when I was young

I sung it my whole life long

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

 

Hey Mister Johnny you know I can sing

Why are you dreaming of becoming a king?

Hobos take it slow is that coffee hot?

Life’s true blessings so quickly forgot

 

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

I wrote it when I was young

I sung it my whole life long

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

 

Johnny Rotten no that’s really not fair

Even the devil himself resorts to prayer

Tell me maybe baby the love has grown?

The best blues guitarists are unknown

 

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

I wrote it when I was young

I sung it my whole life long

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

 

Sylvia dreams she has no other choice

I hold her hand tight and share my voice

At fifty-seven you tend to look to heaven

I saw Jesus working at the Seven Eleven

 

This train rides to glory some of the time

What if I sung this and they hated my rhyme

On to Venus past Jupitar and Mars

Plenty of music in these guitars

 

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

I wrote it when I was young

I sung it my whole life long

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

Sea Shepherd

 Sea Shepherd

 

By John Kaniecki

 

Righteous sailors of the high sea

Fighting the good fight

Against the enemy

Day and night

The Jolly Roger sails

In defense of precious whales

For wicked merchants of greed

Devour without need

Magnificent beasts they consume

For dog food and perfume

Profits are a paramount

They have traded their soul

For more money to count

An ambiguous endless goal

So the Sea Shepherd

In deed and word

Harass and meddle

With the wicked vessel

Trying to preserve nature

To defend Mother Earth’s children

This is a war

Against the most vile sin

Sail on Sea Shepherd

Your story

Will always live in glory

In the hearts of the young

Your truth is sung

Like the sun in the skies

Once more to rise

Our oceans we shall defend

Is our oath without end 

Bells And Whistles Thorns And Thistles
