You know, I live a monastic lifestyle. No, I do. I do live in extremes, basically. I go back and forth. Once every six months, I'll have a day where I eat more chocolate than has ever been consumed by a human being.

Diamond in the rough
My teammates don’t know.
Surely none can suspect-
When I leave from the game
I don’t go home direct.
My lockers my closet,
And in it I hide
my alternate lifestyle
That some wear with pride
Reporters surround me
on the locker-room prowl
I patiently answer,
dripping wet, in a towel.
I’m a likeable guy
And I don’t duck the press
And they never suspect
How I look in a dress.
My lockers my closet,
And in it I hide
my alternate lifestyle
That some wear with pride.
I’ve been a star
in the City for years.
If fans knew what I’m hiding
Would I still hear the cheers?
Sure, you see me around
With a girl on my arm-
But if they want more
I back off in alarm.
It’s kind of ironic-
fans wish they were me-
Could they live with the fear
of chance publicity?
My lockers my closet,
And in it I hide
my alternate lifestyle
That some wear with pride.

Out at the Plate

Surely none can suspect-
When I leave from the game

Dripping wet in a towel.

But if they want more
I back off in alarm.
It’s kind of ironic-
fans express their envy -
Could they live with the fear
of exposure like me?
My lockers my closet,
And in it I hide
my alternate lifestyle
That some wear with pride.

Shame
Now there's a lifestyle
With painted lips
Now there's a lifestyle
Everybody wants it
But it don't exist
And I said shame...
In the dancehalls and the cinema
Shame
On the TV and the media
Shame
We loved you
Now there's a lifestyle
With fashion chic
Now there's a lifestyle
Everybody in it wants
To be elite
And I said
'You with yer brand new shoes and
You with yer greasy hair and
You with yer mother's pride and poetry
Don't you want to feel the shame?"...
In the dancehalls
Can't you feel the shame?
And the TV
Can't you feel the shame?
We loved you...
Shame
In the dancehalls and the cinema
Shame
On the TV and the media
Shame
We loved you
At the Lido and the opera
Shame
At the races
And the theatre
Shame
We loved you.
And they said all we need is love
All we need is love
With the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
Day after day
Day after day.

An invited visit to an uninvited play
Their apartment was ballroom-huge,
just off Park Avenue; they were
generous with their invitations;
we, happy to partake of their lavish lifestyle,
their buffet food, their wine, their décor…
for which, we paid in a grubby coinage:
from cocktails to liqueurs,
the captive audience for their literate, spotlight centered abuse
of one another.. the complicity of it all
made my fresh underwear feel dirty..
outside, after, in the street,
the rain came down;
how sweet the rain felt.

Music is pretty much the lifestyle, not the music itself. The lifestyle really pulled me off the street. Made me want to do something organized and positive.

Forbidden Referendums Sept 13th,2012
Binding referendums are the flashpoint for our change.
Why are they so difficult to arrange and why is this so strange?
Why do our appointees and politicians just smile and walk away?
Why are media moguls so careful in what they write and say?
Why are binding referendums and death with dignity denied?
Just like what they did to Sue Rodriguez and then she cried,
Something is really wrong and we are not allowed to put it right,
So much for our so-called democracy; completely out of sight.
They say it's all because of the Constitution, so no solution,
Appoint their friends to the Senate to improve the distribution,
But Ottawa aristocrats despise referendums of any kind,
It could interfere with their lavish lifestyle and peace of mind.

Lavishness
Being lavish is not being generous.
Being lavish stems from one’s ego’s urge.
Being generous stems from one’s heart’s purge.
Lavishness fails to evoke acceptance.

Life O'Riley
I sit in my easy chair
I've got so much time to spare
cause I know in my future days
I'll have my lion's share
There's nothing I like better
Than getting something for nothing
Then some will tell you that you can't get nothing for free
Obviously they don't know me
You can have your cake and eat it too
And there's plenty of free lunch for you
If you think you're getting cheated then you don't have a clue
You don't know where you are, or what to do
I live the lifestyle they speak of so highly
I live the life...the life of riley

Judgmental
Some say it’s a judgmental world, as judgment by others is hurled,
On people just like you and me, who choose to live life differently.
But where is all the judgment from, which they receive from some?
Is it from their own heart and mind, and are they just being unkind?
Men living a life with other men, a life which many others condemn,
As they live life just as they will, in a lifestyle, completely unnatural.
Women attracted to one another; not an example from their mother,
Or not a wholesome life for two, who profess to be as me and you.
Active sexual relations in youth, with teenage mothers as the proof,
From those teenage pregnancies, are mere children having families,
Young couples on a shaky course, not prepared, end up in divorce,
While young mothers live all alone, with no father to lead their home.
Some infants never make it there, aborted by those who do not care.
While some are given up in adoption, and thrown into another option,
With Gay couples then stepping in, to raise those babies deep in sin,
Raised in an alternate lifestyle, regarding God’s Truth, will hear denial.
And back to judgment of the world, by a Righteous God yet unfurled,
As a lot of judgment that men hear, is from The God others truly fear,
For by His Son of Righteousness, He will destroy man’s ungodliness,
Putting all godless ways to an end; not for a time, but, forever friend.

When The Truth Is........
There is no place like America
It is not hot like Manila
The parks are bigger and
Clean
The food is cheap and
The snow is smooth
To my cheeks
I like the work here
In dollars I earn
I like Disneyland and
Las Vegas
I like the independent lifestyle here
*(when the truth is he misses
the Philippines, the paradise, the maids who
cook for her, the tropical weather, the
easy lifestyle, & he has yet to earn more
money in the US to pay off his debts home)

Fixed Income
'You are a spendthrift and should budget.
Economize your lifestyle.
And not seek reasons to fuss.
Limit your wants and provide first your needs.
Decrease your appetite,
And this activity will eventually please! '
You don't have a fixed income.
Or live alone.
Do you?
'What does that have to do with me?
All of us in my household,
Eat less meat and dine out infrequently.
And we are able to save an exorbitant amount of money.
Proving we can reduce 'our' excessiveness.
And this I am sure you have not tried.'
You don't have a fixed income.
Or live alone.
Do you?
'There you go!
Trying to compare anchovies with caviar.
And there is quite a difference.'
You don't have a fixed income.
Or live alone.
Do you?
'No I do not!
But if I did,
I certainly would be able to do it better than you.
With far fewer complaints.'

The Good Ship Lifestyle
This is the Goodship Lifestyle
All my friends jumped ship
I elect me the captain
This is the loneliest voyage
I've ever been on
Up in the crow's nest
Over there! I see land!
First mate? There is no First Mate
This is the Goodship Lifestyle
Sail away from the world
Sail away from the world
So steer a course

Well, jazz is to me, a complete lifestyle. It's bigger than a word. It's a much bigger force than just something that you can say. It's something that you have to feel. It's something that you have to live.
When you turn on your radio, you don't always want to hear about someone shootin' some person. Even if that's the lifestyle they live, people don't always want to hear it.
