If I'm on location on some island, we usually get up at four in the morning to set up. By seven thirty, we're on the beach working until noon, then we rest. It's not exactly a vacation.

Your Mind Is On Vacation
Sitting there yakkin right in my face
Coming on like you own the place
If silence was golden
You couldnt raise a dime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Youre quoting figures, youre dropping names
Youre telling stories, youre playing games
You always laugh when things aint funny
You try to sound like you dont need money
If talk was criminal, youd lead a life of crime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
You know that life is short and talk is cheap
Dont make promises that you cant keep
If you dont like the song Im singing, just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talking please can you make it rhyme
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

Vacation
Come on, come on, come on, lets go
Come on, come on, lets go
Come on, come on, come on, lets go
Come on, come on, lets go
Vacation
Need a little sun to break up all the frustration
And turn it into love
Ain't nobody gonna tell us what we're gonna do
Because today, it's up to you
Temptation coming up to me
A little relaxation and i'll be great to be
Come on and weeky weeky loo at the
It's gonna start now
Kick it back, kick it back, kick it back to the track
Kick it back, kick it back, kick it back to the max

Vacation's where i wanna be
Party on the beach where the fun is free
We don't need a holiday, it's time to celebrate
Cause i need a break, i need a vacation
Vibrations
Need to get me some and drive out all my complications
And turn them into love
Ain't nobody gonna tell us where we gonna be
Because today, today it's you and me
Vacation's what i wanna do
Party on the beach, fun for me and you
We don't need a holiday, it's time to celebrate
Repeat after me, "i need a vacation!"
Lets go, lets go, lets go, lets go!
I wanna be where the fun is free
So come with me
Repeat 1 x2
Repeat after me, "i need a vacation!"
(i need a) vacation
(come on and) vacation
(i need a) vacation
(come on) vacation
Lets go!
Repeat 1 x2

Retirement Blues
After thirty years of working -
I thought I had it made -
I said to myself-
I'll lie in the shade-
I'll read half the day-
And sleep the rest-
My wife had the notion-
That she alone knew best-
She said mow the lawn-
And go and walk the dog-
You're lying around here-
Getting far as a hog-
My dreams of relaxation-
Went right up in smoke-
I found that retirement-
Was only a joke-
I'm really still working-
For the rest of my life-
The only difference now-
The boss is my wife.

Dr. Sun
I don't want to be alone on the beach, no
Give me dr. sun, he's my man
I don't want to be alone on the beach, no
Angel of the night, give him to me
I believe in to let a little sunshine in my life
I believe in him and me
My vacation is gonna be a pleasant memory
I will have him everyday
I'm gonna do what's good for me
I'm gonna meet dr. sun
Liasson dangereux for me
I share it with the cream of girls
Who's the worst
In seeking dr. sun
I don't want to be alone on the beach, no
Give me dr. sun, he's my man
I don't want to be alone on the beach, no
Angel of the night, give him to me
I believe in to let a little sunshine in my life
I believe in him and me
My vacation is gonna be a pleasant memory
I will have him everyday
I can never live without him, i can't stand it
I can never live without it, i can't stand it
I can never live without him, i can't stand it
I can never be without it, i can't stand it
Guess who
It's the famous dr. sun
I don't want to be alone on the beach, no
Give me dr. sun, he's my man
I don't want to be alone on the beach, no
Angel of the night, give him to me
I believe in to let a little sunshine in my life
I believe in him and me
My vacation is gonna be a pleasant memory
I will have him everyday
I believe in to let a little sunshine in my life
I believe in him and me
My vacation is gonna be a pleasant memory
I will have him everyday

I Promised Myself Not To Hurt My Eyes Anymore
last night
my eyes ached a lot like they are protesters
of my negligence
overusing them
apart
from the rest of my body parts: the nose not so nosy
the ears not hearing much
and my skins not feeling well
and my mouth and tongues
merely sleeping
in their safe spaces
my eyes
keep working for days and feel as though they are the only
workers
of my body
the eyes
that begin to hate poetry and reading and seeing and watching
i promised these eyes not to hurt them again
to give them a vacation
somewhere where the trees are greener
(since they love greens)
where the skies are bluer
(since they also love sky blue)
somewhere in the beach
where
beautiful bodies entice them
and make them
excited like ordinary hormonal
creatures
but
here i am again
my eyes working again on the lines of this poem
the eyes crying
on a promise that is always broken

Stood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there.

The Rest of Our Vacation In LA and San Diego
You know I didn't want to be
The cause for our need for Imodeum D
Since I displayed the symptoms first
I'll tak the blame for finding the curse
I could have brought it with me
Or caught it after we landed
Months planning our vacation
Getting sick seemed underhanded
We didn't take the Tijuana shopping tour
Montezuma found us anyway
Just because Cortez kicked his butt
Is no reason to ruin our day
Even with the unwanted wake-up call
We survived with medication the Saturday mobs
Venice Beach and Hollwood made us glad
We knew we could go home to real jobs
Beverly Hill and La Jolla made us envious
The airline flight from SF made you panic
The Del Coronado made us want to return without Montezuma
For a vacation more romantic
Looking back our vacation was fun
But restful not
Half our time sight-seeing
The rest sitting on the pot

Permanent Vacation
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get
(chorus)
Im on a permanent vacation
Nothing left to move
I want a revelation
Nothing left to prove
I could take it with me
Leave you all behind
Got some kind of feeling
Burnin on my mind
Sleeping late in the morning
Stay out all night long
Every day is like the one before
Im going wrong
Im going wrong
(repeat chorus)
Theres only one thing you can do
This I gotta do, oh, oh, oh
I got nothing to win, nothing to lose
Nothing left to prove
One thing to do
Well, Im on a permanent vacation
Im on a permanent vacation
Im on a permanent vacation
Permanent vacation

One of my favorite vacation places is Miami, because of the people, the water and the beach - of course - and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.

I Want A Vacation
I want a vacation
For saying a word or two to you
See the moon just when
It lands in your eyes.
I want a vacation
To hold your hands for a while
And walk a few steps to anywhere,
To feel you even if for a moment.
I want a vacation
Just to do anything
To let you know I still care
And see a smile cross your face.
I need a vacation
For coming out from within
To be with you just once
And hold onto it forever!

The Old Man's Lament
The child-sun blazes
through grey morning fog
his passion overpowers
night’s sluggish slog
‘till bright noon’s on fire
with his effervescent love,
but it’s all the same, it’s
all the same.
Morning, noon, and night
may embrace our little lives,
but it’s all the same.
The ancient moon rises
in the fast-fading east.
Bloody sun dies, failed day retreats,
but it’s all the same, it’s all
the same.
Morning, noon, and night
may consume our little lives
but it’s all the same, all
the same.

An old fashioned horse in a modern racecourse
I choose my destination
But someone interrupts
And they ask where do you go on vacation?
I say sorry my dear, the word 'vacation' has disappeared
since a long time in my notepad.
And this working horse gallops out of the track
So never reach the goal it seems.
Even I do not have a leisure time to replace my wearied horseshoes.
Someone interrupts!

Zero % cotton life
Monday through Saturday
recreation
vacation
cruise
c amping
nightlife
and on Sundays
morning church
for an hour
and then back
to the pick-up
picnic on the beach
white sands
and warm sun
in this tropical
island of so much
fun and run
coconuts and
rice cakes and pastries
and mild drinks
and barbecue
and steak
this is our way of living
letting life slide smoothly in our throats
like Tanduay rhum
nothing obstructed
no hang-ups
and on Sunday afternoons
time to fold
the tent and keep
the good and useful things
and throw the garbage
of our lives
nightime again
on our beds
with our loved ones
sleeping
together
snorkling in dreams
love of togetherness
and being just one family
without wasting any sofa
or wood
we just like it sticking
together
through thick and thin
without any cotton
or foam

Factory
Early in the morning factory whistle blows,
Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes,
Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light,
Its the working, the working, just the working life.
Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain,
I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain,
Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life,
The working, the working, just the working life.
End of the day, factory whistle cries,
Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes.
And you just better believe, boy, somebodys gonna get hurt tonight,
Its the working, the working, just the working life.

To Mrs. Thrale on Her Completing Her Thirty-fifth Year
Oft in danger, yet alive,
We are come to thirty-five;
Long may better years arrive,
Better years than thirty-five.
Could philosophers contrive
Life to stop at thirty-five,
Time his hours should never drive
O'er the bounds of thirty-five
High to soar, and deep to dive,
Nature gives at thirty-five.
Ladies, stop and tend your hive,
Trifle not at thirty-five;
For, howe'er we boast and strive,
Life declines from thirty-five:
He that ever hopes to thrive
Must begin by thirty-five:
And all who wisely wish to wive
Must look on Thrale at thirty-five.

Love Working On You
(jim collins/craig wiseman)
You woke up this morning
Changes were taking place
You looked in the mirror
A smile was all over your face
cause out of nowhere
Someone was there
Who dared to climb
Those walls you made
Its exciting, a little frightening
But girl dont you be afraid
Thats just the love working
Love working on you
Thats just the love working
Working on pulling you through
Cant even remember
All the sorrow that you left behind
Its a brand new day
Theres a bright new way
And your tears have turned into wine
You never forget
When your eyes met
Or just how clearly you could see
Where the turns are deep in your heart
That lead you to believe
Thats just the love working
Love working on you
Thats just the love working
Working on pulling you through
All of the while you felt forsaken
And all of the while
Loves been waiting, waiting
Suddenly you see how it could be
If we all only felt this way
And for a while girl you can see this world
Looking through the eyes of fate
Thats just the love working
Love working on you
Thats just the love working
Working on pulling you through
Thats just the love working
Love working on you
Thats just the love working
Working on pulling you through
Thats just the love working on you
Thats just the love working
Working on pulling you through
