every thing is electric
gamma rays
long waves
x-rays
micro waves
ultra violet
radio waves
infrared
the spectrum
red orange yellow green blue indigo violet
how to describe it?
I think it's called a rainbow
look outside your window
can you see the rainbow
up in the sky
I can see a rainbow
through a broken window
open up the window
and let it shine
everything in this world is connected
everything is electric
and everything is vibrating on the same level

Mama said Groovy

rummaging around in a box of bric-a-brac
nic-nac, objet d'art
when I came across a box that was labelled 'Letters'
with a picture of a little heart
I took a closer look and it made me happy
and it made me a little sad
it was a box full of letters
tied with a ribbon
written by mum and dad
the queens head
the ink red
I opened the letter
and it said:
'I went to the beach and I lay in the sun
and it was groovy'
Mama said groovy
Papa said ooh
Mama said groovy
in '54
I don't purport to be the sentimental sort
or pretend to be living in the past
but when you come across a box that is labelled 'letters'
the you know that it was meant to last
now whenever I look it makes me happy and it makes me a little sad
'coz those love letters are wrapped in glad

I don't know what you've been told
but you can't turn garbage into gold
the very idea is completely absurd
you can't polish a turd
you'll never realise your grand design
you can't turn water into wine
just ask greta thunburg
she'll say 'How dare you polish your turd'
rub it, dub it, shine it and buff it
dress it, press it, primp it and fluff it
frame it, name it, shaken or stirred
you can't polish a turd, no
chrome turd
silver turd
golden turd
it's still a turd

The Zeitgeist

Let me paint a picture
Its 1975
It was the time of the bass player
All the kids are movin
All the kids are groovin
like the kids are dancing in a classroom
turned into a makeshift disco
One of them in particular
He tries to be cool
but he's wearing the clothes his mama made him
He aint no golden breed
He’s a golden fool
He had to get some money
To buy some funky threads
But the only job available at that
time and at that age as a paperboy
and all you had to do was
Stand on the corner with your arm held high
And everyone out on the streets
Would hear your distant cry
Daily News Paper
First night on the job
The coin is rolling in
But the other boys are jealous coz they
sees how much our paperboy is
Raking in
And late that fateful evening
An evil plot is laid
To wait until the drop off and
Take all that he has made
We are gonna roll you
We are gonna roll you
Little Paperboy
Later at the depot
He's pickin up the pay
He's made enough money to
buy some New wave clothes and wear them at the
Makeshift disco
pile into the panelvan
its time they all went home
that's when other paperboy smiles and
Punches him in the face
-He just went BAM!
And as his hand went to his nose
And the claret began to flow
A hand unseen inside his pouch
has taken all of his dough
It was gettin closed to midnight
When he finally stumbled home
He couldn’t understand why he’d been
Punched in the face
It didn’t make no sense at all
At least he made good money
And at that thought he stopped
He reached into his leather pouch
Just twenty cents was all they’d left
The penny dropped
He fell into his mothers arms
The tears began to flow
Crying like a baby
The snot ran down his nose
We are gonna roll you
We are gonna roll you
Little Paperboy
We are gonna punch you
gonna punch you in the face
We are gonna put you
gonna put you in your place
We are gonna take you
gonna take you out to lunch
gonna take you out to lunch
with a sucker punch
Well you can kiss your childhood goodbye
Life is cruel and then you die
