Become a fixer, not just a fixture.

The Freebooter
No door has my house,
No house has my door;
And in and out ever
I carry my store.
No grate has my kitchen,
No kitchen my grate;
Yet roasts it and boils it
Both early and late.
My bed has no trestles,
My trestles no bed;
Yet merrier moments
No mortal e'er led.
My cellar is lofty,
My barn is full deep,
From top to the bottom,--
There lie I and sleep.
And soon as I waken,
All moves on its race;
My place has no fixture,
My fixture no place.

Moving Pictures
Life is only a moving picture
Nothing in life is a permanent fixture
Oh no oh oh no
Black girls, white girls oh what a mixture
Looking as pretty as a picture
Oh no oh oh no
We live, we die no one knows why
We come, we go we see the show
And its always moving, always moving
Life is only a moving picture
Oh, life can sometimes not be very nice
But then you make your choice so you must pay the price
You take the good and bad cos lifes all work and play
And it soon fades away
Oh no oh oh no
Life is only what you make out
So make the verses rhyme and all the pieces fit
There isnt any time to make much sense of it
It soon fades away
Oh no oh oh no
Life is only a moving picture
Nothing in life is a permanent fixture
Oh no oh oh no
We live, we die no one knows why
We come, we go we see the show
And its always moving, always moving
Look at all those moving pictures
Nothing in life is a permanent fixture
Oh no oh oh no
Its only moving, only moving, only moving pictures

Doing Stupid
You may see me 'doing' stupid,
Any day of the week.
And 'if' it is on my list of activities,
You may believe my portrayal...
Is a permanent fixture,
YOU have prioritized.
But let me tell you this,
Do not take me for it.
My reaction will disappoint...
Your expectations.
Being offended to be disrespected,
I take seriously when out of costume.

Rollicking Hans
HALLO there! A glass!
Ha! the draught's truly sweet!
If for drink go my shoes,
I shall still have my feet.
A maiden and wine,
With sweet music and song,--
I would they were mine,
All life's journey along!
If I depart from this sad sphere,
And leave a will behind me here,
A suit at law will be preferr'd,
But as for thanks,--the deuce a word!
So ere I die, I squander all,
And that a proper will I call.
HIS COMRADE.
Hallo there! A glass!
Ha! the draught's truly sweet
If thou keepest thy shoes,
Thou wilt then spare thy feet.
A maiden and wine,
With sweet music and song,
On pavement, are thine,
All life's journey along!

Much, Much Longer Than Ten Feet
Where is your ten foot pole?
That had become a fixture of your personality,
For a number of years.
'Are you kidding?
There is nothing I wish to get that close enough,
To touch...
Even with 'that',
These days.'
What has happened to it?
'I had to get rid of it.
And I just could not justify,
Carrying a needed pole...
Much, much longer than ten feet.'

Three Standalone Thoughts
The little bull terriers needa
puff up their chests And howl
madly unapologetically like wind
thru the canyons
***
Up outta Sun. afternoon
green terrace and
fresh asphalt
The Alien Fixture
closed in
one...
two...
two...
There up outta 5 pm
Sunday Roast Beast
rises, a beast
and howls!
***
Captivated by
newthought abstraction,
this, hinting
at other worlds—
Dissolves the uniformity
of each

Oscar The Angel
Verse 1:
Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets
Shoutin' out some prophesies at everyone he'd meet
He was a local fixture; like a cop out on a beat
Folks said he'd been shell-shocked long ago
And more than that for no one seemed to know
Oscar was a walker; at least four miles twice a day
The entire lenght of Main Street he'd be shoutin' all the way
And I had no idea where he heard the things he'd say
But he was not your normal voice of doom;
It was a happy song sung slightly out of tune
Refrain:
And he'd say,

The steadfast kid
The steadfast kid
~
I’m not for running
I’m not for fighting either
I’ll turn the other cheek
And remain silent
I’ll listen to those who matter
Forget those who don’t
Take the right thoughts in
Weather any storm
That passes my way
I’ll be steadfast, unmovable
Resilient by day
Comforting at night
I’ll stand firm
I’ll stand at your side
A permanent fixture
To be counted on
I’m not for running
I don’t intend to fight
I’m the steadfast kid
Here to live, life

Grrbrr
I lie so you lie
But I think weve lied too many times
Hit the ceiling of our sky
Why bother my other and call for another
Opposite side
I will freak out and come back
Not gone far enough
I know that I and you will
Sit as a picture
Gerber bottle is fixture
To the fit he was living
Was blown
Captain of motherland
Laughed on by brothers hand
Gotta make that hook-up to come through
You didnt know you got lied to
Hit the ceiling of the sky
You thought you could fly
But your wings are made of wax
I cannot see you
You cannot see me
Cause youre high
Youre too good of a person

Three Angels
Nine dollars, two cents
No money, no rent
8759 thats the number
Be on time
Bring something, dont care
Whatever, be there
Good woman, good loving, good feeling
Three angels
Eight castles, wants nine
Unhappy all the time
Gold headlights, cant see
Sure could help him, feel free
Five aces, no calls
Easy action on the walls
One burning, two custom, all waiting
Three angels
Burns, hofner, white flats
All together feeding back
No mixer, no lights
Good fixer, be all right
Dream wishing, downtown
In the windows, locked sound
One burning, two custom, all waiting
Three angels

Usurp and Stay a Fixture
No matter what others may think of me,
I am here for you.
And if I did not mention them,
You would not know they exist.
Not in the way I do.
With them I have had it; I am finished!
You are on my priority list to assist.
And they are scavengers seeking to leech.
With the feeding of nonsense kept in reach.
Hoping to devour someone's time.
To usurp and stay a fixture on their nerves.
And with their minds to use and torment as they wish.
'Use syrup and stay makes absolutely no sense.'
Do worry about it.
This exchange of dialogue is apparently not for you.
But thank you for being here for the practice of it!
You have proven,
That eye contact does not necessarily mean absorption.
'And I thank you for underestimating my intelligence.'
No problem.
Anytime.
You are most deserving.
However...
Aside from that,
I've got your back.
And I do mean that sincerely.
We need each other.

The Farm
There┬┤s a cockroach in my coffee
There┬┤s a needle in my arm
And I feel like New York City
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
I got terminal uniqueness
I'm an egocentric man
I get caught up in my freakness
But I ain┬┤t no Peter Pan
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me...
Buckle up straight Jack
Sanity is such a drag
Jellybeam thorazene
Trancendental jet lag
Sanity I ain┬┤t gotta
Feeling like a pinala
Sucker punch-blowin┬┤lung
Motherload-pigeonholed
I'm feeling like I'm gonna explode
I wanna be a Hare Krishna
Tattoo a dot right on my head
And the prozac is my fixer
I am the living dead
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm...
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm

Blackmail
She doesnt need money
She doesnt need diamonds
Shes lookin for pretty things
She doesnt want romance
She doesnt need finance
Shes looking for rendezvous
But every time shes going down
She never looks around
Ill wait and watch her with my
Lens until she brings the curtain down
there behind the keyhole
With my fisheye
Im back in the darkroom
Im covered in fixer
Im making a photograph
Ill send her some postcards
In glorious colour
Im keeping the negatives
Ill form a letter from the news
With different type from different lines
Ill tell the world about her
Ill mail the people and the times
oo itll be so scandalous
For the both of them
But mainly her
She showed them her husband
He ordered a dozen
He thought they were fabulous
The one with the --------------
The two of the ----------------
And three of the --------------
He sold her to hefner
Who put her in playboy
He gave her a centre-fold
I made a real blunder
She made it in movies
I made her a superstar

I am the horseman
I'm mentally mad
I'm a super sharp shooter
sittin' on a roof top
my name is MC H, I got the big breaks
and the bass
one, two, check
it's a mixture ruff to the core
through the texture
come and get a taste of the fixture, yeah!
(Chorus x3)
yea ea ea ah,yea ea
I feel hardcore
yea ea ea ah,yea ea
always hardcore
Want a lyrical sex
ice and the platinum tech
with a minute in the game
when discover my necks, you don't fret
me and my crew, we are too H.O.T
for any crew out there or any M.C.
rippin' up the B you want H.A.T.E
jealousy won't get you nowhere, I'm H.P., yeah!

Blind Them With Your Reach For The Stars
Why cling onto what people think?
Is that going to change?
Are you...
Going through any misgivings?
If you are...
Let that be a natural process.
People are going to voice their opinion.
And some do not care how that is done.
Or if what is done,
Hurts anyone.
They just want the taste of that venom,
Dripping from their lips.
Every second, minute and hour...
A ticking clock tocks.
Why try to stop what is a fixture,
Of one's routined appetite?
As long as you give 'power'
To that which decides, select and contemplates,
Your choices made in your life...
What is the point of saying whose life it is,
Lived?
You definitely are not the one living it.
And if you are...
Why cling onto what people think?
When in the environment of those who are thoughtless...
You do not have to pretend to do the same..
And not one of them are pretending to maintain a sanity.
Why stoop to that level?
When you can blind them with your reach for the stars!

Battle it down; Don't fear
Examinations coming,
It's a tensed state
You burned midnight lamps,
till the fixture date
You're excited for the seeds
You've bravely sown
But your tension's going
To mow those down..
It's a general fact,
that stress's gonna climb upon you
But try to resist it down
As done by smarts a few..
Take your breath gradually
And hold it up above.
Holding on, carry on some countdowns,
then release it slow..
It's so simple but it's a sword
To fight down the 'stress beast'
After doing those steps you'll feel light
And you'll be ready to take it up atleast
Now take a look on those printed in black & white
And plan your strategy..
This question first, that one later
Because questions' arrangement is a Conspiracy!
Now Go and perform as good as you can
then facebook or twitter, for you nothing is going to ban! ! !

Youve only got to take it
And if you get my heart
Do anything but break it
And if you wanna know the truth
I think about you only
And whatever Im doin
Youre never out of my mind
*oh I believe in your sweet love
Oh I believe in your sweet love
Theres a way youve got
Something in the mixture
As the night goes on
You could become a fixture

Oh i, I ,i believe
Oh i, i, I believe

I, i, I believe, oh i, i, I believe
Oh I believe, I believe in your sweet lovin
