Joni

 Joni

 

Harvest moons in endless Junes

Releasing balloons singing tunes

Blonde lady strumming her guitar

I wonder now just where you are?

 

Are you lonely Joni

If only if only

I could touch you with grace

And teach the human race

Songs of love from above

Are you lonely Joni

 

Night is a time full of glowing stars

Playing in small theatres and smoky bars

Yesterday has passed with a smile

But please allow me a little while

 

Are you lonely Joni

If only if only

I could touch you with grace

And teach the human race

Songs of love from above

Are you lonely Joni

 

Buffy was cool as a general rule

In the fall the weather turns cool

I am seeking what is beyond this

Say hello to the snow with a tender kiss

 

Are you lonely Joni

If only if only

I could touch you with grace

And teach the human race

Songs of love from above

Are you lonely Joni

Spare Change

 Spare Change

 

Spare change, spare change, spare change

A lamentable moan

As a chanting solemn monk

Full of sorrowful spunk

Businessmen, businesswomen

Flurry in a worry hurry

Dreading the daily encounter

A pinprick deflating

The high flying balloon of picture perfect reality

But there is just one passage

This solitary tunnel from the train

A living thistle a scornful thorn

Spare change, spare change, spare change

A pitiful cry in torment

The upper crust yuppie army hastens the pace of their march

Refusing to glance at the creature’s anguished face

Worse yet, the two stubs for arms

Fill the professionals with alarms

A scant few in guilt

Will toss a coin or dollar bill

In the cup the man cannot grasp

Lying at his torn shoes

 

Life is full of cruelties

Privilege gravitates

Wolves in packs

Beauty Vogue style

Little tin gods speaking tongues of blasphemy

Abhorring the ugly, the deformed

Even the common

 

See Jesus touching the leper

 

Spare change, spare change, spare change

Last Chance Café

 Last Chance Cafe

 

Saturday night at the Last Chance Café                                 

Seems somewhere somehow you lost your way                      

When Sunday morning comes you can pray                                

But until then what can I really say?                                       

 

Have some fun drinks are two for one

We’ll be hangin out till the rising sun

The Last Chance Café is the place to be

At The Last Chance Café come meet me

 

Rose Marie’s thinking drinking to forget

She’s hoping on a man she never met

A red-haired beauty with a heart kind

There’s not a finer woman you can find

 

Have some fun drinks are two for one

We’ll be hangin out till the rising sun

The Last Chance Café is the place to be

At The Last Chance Café come meet me

 

I say Rose what’s the meaning of life?

Why all this turmoil fighting and strife?

Rose gulps a shot of whiskey in answer

She mumbles “I reckon I just ain’t sure”

 

Have some fun drinks are two for one

We’ll be hangin out till the rising sun

The Last Chance Café is the place to be

At The Last Chance Café come meet me

 

Rose and I are only friends nothing more

I’ll be heading out soon with some score

I love Rose I wanna hold her tight

I ain’t got the courage to do what’s right

 

Okay my good friend I just lied

Truth is in my youth I once tried

Okay good friend I was turned down

The Last Chance Café finest place in town

 

Have some fun drinks are two for one

We’ll be hangin out till the rising sun

The Last Chance Café is the place to be

At The Last Chance Café come meet me

Easy Street

 Easy Street

 

White picket fences and rose bushes galore

It’s the American dream who could want more?

But behind the disguise lurks a host of lies

Late at night they fight you can hear their cries

 

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

Where luxury and getting ahead meet

Climbing the corporate ladder gotta compete

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

 

Working late the stress is great coming home tired

Job’s insane the boss is vain you’re feeling wired

Bottle of wine looks so fine pills on the side

The truth is a monster no place to hide

 

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

Where luxury and getting ahead meet

Climbing the corporate ladder gotta compete

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

 

Keeping up with the Jones’ next door

And endless quest for more more more

Rig the economy and start a war

Searching for the perfect score

 

The pay is big but the expense bigger

Money high but you’re in debt so go figure

A corvette and S.U.V, on credit

Materialism rules you let it

 

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

Where luxury and getting ahead meet

Climbing the corporate ladder gotta compete

Ain’t nothing easy on Easy Street

Part Time Fool

 Part Time Fool

 

Hey baby I was riding the rocket express to the highest high                       

I had heard stories of true love but I guessed it was just a lie                                   

Then I saw you I was captivated by the look in your eyes                            

Like a crashing smashing tidal wave a super force nothing denies               

 

Now that I found you when I’m around you I lose my cool

Goodbye fame to my shame I’m a part time fool

In my rage up on the stage I’m a queen to rule

But after the show don’t you know I’m a part time fool

 

I wanted to take it slow but after hello I was under your sway

Lying awake late at night thinking of only you until the day

You are always near so strong and dear living inside this art

What can I do except to write a love song to tell you my heart?

 

Now that I found you when I’m around you I lose my cool

Goodbye fame to my shame I’m a part time fool

In my rage up on the stage I’m a queen to rule

But after the show don’t you know I’m a part time fool

 

I wanna scream but never awake from this series of endless dreams

Fantasy fills with thrills the happy balloon bursting at the seams

Who can trust the winds of lust as they move me merrily along

I am floating in the world of la la la singing my sweet song

 

Now that I found you when I’m around you I lose my cool

Goodbye fame to my shame I’m a part time fool

In my rage up on the stage I’m a queen to rule

But after the show don’t you know I’m a part time fool

 

Help wanted ad said hard work and low pay

Not what I desired but I inquired anyway

We’ll hijack your soul and take complete control

That sweet sugar was your only goal

 

So honey what say you and me make this affair a permanent thing

Hand in hand on to the glory land what hope tomorrow will bring

I write this rhyme hoping in time wedding bells will chime my precious jewel

Then at last the past will be gone and I’ll carry on a fulltime fool

 

Now that I found you when I’m around you I lose my cool

Goodbye fame to my shame I’m a part time fool

In my rage up on the stage I’m a queen to rule

But after the show don’t you know I’m a part time fool

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
