At every door-way, ere one enters, one should spy round.

The House With Many Doors
the house i love is a house
with many doors
the usual house you have
a front door and the back door
when one enters and there is nothing
to hide, one simply takes the back door
and be gone to the woods,
i can be imaginative at times
one door must open to the earth
another door must open to
the sky
and now, i must find a way
how to grow wings
or if destiny is too cruel
i must grow sharper claws
for digging the rocks of this
earth
now you must know that i have
many choices
up or
down.....

There Is No Forcing Oneself On The Other
love is a democracy
it does not force itself upon other people's hearts
when it is welcomed
it enters the door and expects to be cared for
when it is time to leave
love knows how to make that graceful exit
it goes out the door of mutuality
leaves the room
leaves nothing
it closes the door slowly
there is no banging of anything
the words are kind
when it says goodbye.

Down On Me
Well, down on me, oh, down on me,
I said it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me.
One of these mornings proud and fair
Get on my wings, i'm gonna fly the air.
I said it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Lord, they're down on me.
You know they're down on me, lord, down on me, oh, oh,
And it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me.
Now now now look at your door,
Can't find me 'cause today i'm gone.
And it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Are all down on me.
You know, they're down on me, now down on me, oh, oh!
And it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.
Oh now i've never been to heaven, no, but i've been told,
Streets up there are lined with gold.
I said it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Are all down on me.
You know they're down on me, oh, down on me, oh, oh!
And it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me!!
Heart is gone, rain is rain
You know i got a man and he don't never mean
Because it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.
You know they're down on me,
Down down down on me baby
Down on me,
I said down!
Oh, oh!
And it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me!!
Thank you very much. we're big brother and the holding company

Im Not The One
Im not the one
That youll be shootin for
Im not the one
Whos coming back for more
(you know why)
Weve been through this so many a-times
(you know why)
Its never clear its pantomime
Goin round and round
(round and round)
cause you cant get on your feet
Goin round and round
(round and round)
Still takin all the heat
Goin round and round
(round and round)
Never lettin down
Im not the one
Whose memory you still keepin
Im not the one
Whos talkin in your sleep
(you know why)
I dont have to tell you twice
(you know why)
Knew you when you werent so nice
Goin round and round
(round and round)
cause you cant get on your feet
Goin round and round
(round and round)
Still takin all the heat
Goin round and round
(round and round)
Never touchin down
Im not the one
That youll be breakin in
And Im not the one
That youll be takin in
(you know why)
Tried and tried to crack the shell
(you know why)
When you fake its hard to tell
Goin round and round
(round and round)
cause you cant get on your feet
Goin round and round
(round and round)
Still takin all the heat
Goin round and round
(round and round)
cause you cant get on your feet
Goin round and round
(round and round)
Still takin all the heat
Goin round and round
(round and round)
(round and round)
Goin round and round
(round and round)
(round and round and round and round)
Goin round and round
(round and round)
(cause you cant get on your feet)
Goin (round and round)
(still takin all the heat)
(round and round)
(cause you cant get on your feet)
(round and round)
(still takin all the heat)
(round and round)
(cause you cant get on your feet)
(round and round)
(still takin all the heat)

If he is thrown out through the door, he enters through the window.
When bribery enters through the door, faith goes out through the chimney.
God enters by a private door into every individual.

Day By Day
Day by day - look what the papers say
Day by day - look what the papers say
Stranded in the jungle
Trapped inside the tube
[you] hate your next door neighbour
Cos hes got more than you
Going round and round / day by day
On the cirlce line
Round and round
Day by day - its all work no play
Day by day - its all work no play
Living for inflation
I know I never win
Just to earn a living
They keep me locked in
Day by day - who cares anyway
Day by day - who cares anyway
I feel like a robot
On the production line
Aint got no tomorrow
On the circle line
Going round and round / day by day
On the circle line
Round and round
Round and round
Day by day
Day by day

Here We Go Again
Here we go again,
Here we go again and again,
Wondrin how it all began,
Wondrin will it ever end.
Round and round we go,
Where its going, nobody knows.
Though I know weve been this place before,
Someone keeps on moving the door.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
So I say hello again,
And nobody gives a damn,
And nobody wants to hold your hand,
Evryone is an also-ran.
Round and round we go,
Where its going, nobody knows.
Though I know weve seen this place before,
Someone keeps on moving the door.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Round and round we go-oh-oh-oh,
Round and round we go-oh.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

The Black Dog
early morning when
the door of the house is finally opened
the black dog enters
missing his master
the owner of the door of the house
it wants to speak
but since it has no power over the words
it simply wags its tail
puts his head on the lap of the master
and from this gesture
one can see
that everything is well said
by it...

When a bribe enters through the front door, honesty departs through the window.
The Old Poet
he speaks of the sea
the vastness of space occupied
nonetheless by water & salt
suddenly he says
a door appears for him to enter
for me to see
he enters
and the door closes in
as i watch
his grace and grandeur
then he is lost forever
while i reflect on what happens also to me
the next time
this time
i prefer more windows
this time
i like to study more
the air & mountains
for i am new
and the ocean will be too much
and this door thing
will be very hard to understand
a black bird comes to me
it speaks of freedom
i look at it eye to eye
i say i like it more sitting
flying is still the future
today is still mine
without wings.

Old Age
OLD age is courteous--no one more:
For time after time he knocks at the door,
But nobody says, "Walk in, sir, pray!"
Yet turns he not from the door away,
But lifts the latch, and enters with speed.
And then they cry "A cool one, indeed!"

Sympathy
(mark ashton, graham stansfield, david kaffinetti, stephen gould)
Now when you climb into your bed tonight
And when you lock and bolt the door
Just think about those out in the cold and dark
cause theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
cause theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round
Now half the world hates the other half
And half the world has all the food
And half the world lies down and quietly starves
cause theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
cause theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love
No theres not enough love to go round

Going Around One More Time
My heart had been broken
And I couldnt take no more
I shuttered up my windows
And I bolted tight my door
Then I took one look at you
And I nearly lost my mind
Chorus:
Now Im going round going round
Going round going around one more time
Yes Im going roung going round
Going round goung around one more time
Betty was a little heartbreaker
It didnt quite work out
She did a number on my confidence
I was riddled with self doubt
I said thats it Im through I quit
The juanita she looked so fine.
Chorus
round and round in a circle
Its always the same
One moment you swear youve had enough
The next youve got to know her name
All on my own it wasnt that bad
I was getting by as I could get
I stopped into a drug store
For one pack of cigarettes
She didt have a quarter
Had to call her cousin kate
And could I lend her maybe
One thin dime
