damn good one man band

i always remember
feeling the music
i'm a damn good one man band
never together
with anybody
'cause no one could understand
so no one could take my hand
i'm a damn good one man band

and forever
is a long long time to be solo
maybe if you play the guitar, piano or oboe
maybe we could play something our hearts have felt
but could never play alone
another band is born
when the music takes us home

i always remember
singin' it loud
i'm a damn good one man band
standing alone
in any crowd
'cause i couldn't take the chance
so no one could take my hand
i'm a damn good one man band

and forever
is a long long time to be solo
maybe if you the guitar, piano or oboe
maybe we could play something our hearts have felt
but could never play alone
another band is born
when the music takes us home

don't close the post office

my friend from the UK, Jonny Billericay has written a hilarious protest song against the closure of the local post office in the village where he lives...i urge you to download the song, or better yet, the video, from his site...HERE are the coordinates.

about time

time
racin' on just like a rocket
i'm
standing here without a clue
maybe someday in a crisp clairvoyant moment
i will see
but not today
i'm just stuck here in this

time
ain't no friend to me today
i
could get hung all over you
maybe someday i can reconcile my feelings
i will be
but not today
i'm just stuck here in this

(chorus)
time, like a river, like an ocean
tossed about from shore to shore
and i don't know where i'm going
i am older than you
and the messages are true
but there's no time

time
keeps me on this lonely island
i'm
trying to shake the bitter blues
maybe someday i can make sense of the madness
i'll be free
but not today
i'm just stuck here in this

(chorus)
time, like a river, like an ocean
tossed about from shore to shore
and i don't know where i'm going
i am older than you
and the messages are true
but there's no time
