Why Write? (The Message)
it's all about the message!
one form, another form,
non forms... doesnt matter.
and i dont have your answers,
most times.......
i dont even know the questions!
i just want you to listen....
not to me, or anyone else
in particular....
to listen to the honest
and raw beating of
your own heart!
if i have to stand on my head,
or rhyme the gates of hell....
or walk before you naked....
so be it....
the message.....
freedom, equality, sensuality,
spirituality, compassion, beauty...
all begin in your own heart....
know thyself!

Zeroes
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Youve arrived in the land of a thousand different names
And the fabulous sons have crashed their planes in flames
Now tomorrow is back claiming redemption is on your heels
And a toothless past is asking you how it feels
And me my little red corvette has driven by
Fair weather heart has fallen in
My rainy day girl is feeling down
And she tells me that the world is spinning round
I say the dream was all for you
Youre nobody else
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
Yeah
Hi, can I walk you home again today
Gotta get forgive and forget hey-hey
Something good is happening and I dont know what it is
Dont you know were back on trial again today
And its breaking wine for you
Hell its only cause youre true
Someone outtimed my heart
Stopping and preaching and letting love in
You are my moon, you are my sun
Heaven knows what you are
Tonight the zeroes are singing for you
Yes they were
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
You
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
You
Doesnt matter what you try to do
Doesnt matter what you try to do
Doesnt matter where you try to go
Doesnt matter who we really are
Doesnt matter

Janey, Dont You Lose Heart
You got your book baby with all your fears
Let me honey and Ill catch your tears
Ill take your sorrow if you want me to
Come tomorrow
Thats what Ill do
Listen to me

You come home late and get undressed
You lie in bed and feel this emptiness
Well listen to me
Janey dont you lose heart

Till every river it runs dry
Until the suns torn from the sky
Till every feel youve felt burst free
Gone tumblin down into the sea

Janey dont you lose heart

It Doesnt Matter To Me
Listen comrade I dont care
How long you want to grow your hair
It doesnt matter to me
Hey lady have you heard the news?
You can burn your wig and burn your shoes
It doesnt matter to me
But theres something bigger than my vcr
Something important and its waiting for you
Oh yeah
Knock it off pal I heard your story before
Tell me something new thats what Im waiting for
It doesnt matter to me
cause theres a train comin into the station
But its headin for a new destination
And I tell you my friend you better count me in
Listen comrade I dont care
If you ever change your underwear
It doesnt matter to me

He tells her there is foolish there is wise
The young ones hold their heart up to the skies
And dance the night away
There is foolish, there is wise
There is anger in his tone
There is truth behind the lies
His heart has turned to stone
Wherever you may be, he loves her
Wherever you may stand
He loves her in this land
Baby please dont go
Dont hurt me so
Dont leave me now
Baby please dont go

Healing Part I
Listen, listen
Listen to the voice,
The voice is an illusion
Listen to the voice,
Dont let the words confuse you
cause you need something to concentrate on,
Concentrate on me
You need something to meditate on,
Meditate on me
Listen, listen
Listen to your heart
Tune into the rhythm
Listen to your heart
Beating with precision
Like the waves upon the seaside,
It goes on and on
Like the spinning of the world,
It goes on and on
Listen, listen
Listen for the sound
That is not in the music
Only you can hear it,
Only you can use it
Its the sound of someone breathing,
Its the breath of life
Its the sound that you are weaving
With the thread of life
Listen, listen
Listen to the sound,
Let nothing disturb you
You are in a place
Where nothing can hurt you
If you feel a strange sensation,
It can do no harm
Like the spiral of creation,
It will soon move on

Take A Message To Mary
These are the words of a frontier man
Who lost his love when he turned bad.
Take a message to mary
But dont tell here where I am
Take a message to mary
But dont say Im in a jam
You can tell her that I had to see the world
Tell her that my ship set sail
You can say shed better not wait for me
But dont tell her Im in jail, oh dont tell her Im in jail.
Take a message to mary
But dont tell her what Ive done
Please, dont mention the stage coach
And the shot from a carried gun
You better tell her that I had to change my plans
And cancel out the wedding-day
But please, dont mention the lonely cell
Where Im gonna pine away, until my dying-day.
Take a message to mary
But dont tell her all you know
My heart is aching for mary
Lord know I miss her so
Just tell her that I went to timbukto
Tell her Im searching for gold
You can say she better find someone new
To cherish and to hold, oh lord, this cell is so cold.

Listen To Her Heart
You think youre gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine
Keep thinkin that mind is gonna change
But I know everything is okay
Shes gonna listen to her heart
Its gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she dont need you
You want me to think that Im being used
You want her to think its over
You cant see it doesnt matter what you do
Buddy, you dont even know her
Shes gonna listen to her heart
Its gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she dont need you

Words You Say
Words you say to me
I listen in sympathy
But I dont know what it is
That makes me ignore you.
I hear you every night
I listen but the words
Dont seem right
My mind seems somewhere else
What else can I tell you?
I dont know what to do
Im losing you
Something I cant control
You are in my heart and soul.
I dont want to wake up now
I dont want to wake up now
I dont want to wake up now
I dont want to wake up now.
Words you say to me
Im living in fantasy
If I dont know what it is
I simply ignore you.
I hear you every night
I listen but the time is never right
My life is so confused
What more can I tell you?
Dont turn and walk away
Dont leave this way
Something I cant control
You are in my heart and soul.
I dont want to wake up now

I Dont Get It
I dont get why you can take
Such a big amount of what we work so hard to f*cking make
I dont get it
I dont get why we cant do
What we want to when it doesnt hurt you, man I dont get it
I dont get it I dont get why we cant smoke
Just because you say its bad what mother nature chose to grow
I dont get it I dont get why we should change
What we said here so we dont have to explain I dont get it
I cant make sense of anything
I cant make friends with anyone
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore
I cant make sense of anything
I cant make friends with anyone
I hope someday I figure out
Where the f*ck youre talking from
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore
I dont... I dont... I dont .. I dont... I dont... I dont.... I dont.... I dont...

Baby, Listen to My Heart!
Each day I listen to my heart
Mapping a path for our possible love start
My head speaks and so does my heart
Feelings of mine for you wish not to depart
With millions of gadgets
Spread across the planet
None of them can measure the way
My heart feels about you each day
Baby, Listen to my heart!
Will you be my sweetheart?
Baby, Listen to my heart!
Our heartbeats shouldn't be beating apart
Heart to heart
We can build us bridges of love
Heart to heart
We can sing our songs of love
Heart to heart
We can trust in this thing called love
Each day I listen to my heart
My heart has constantly infinitely spoken
Each time it beats for you a work of art
Only you can heal parts that are broken
Baby, Listen to my heart!
Will you be my sweetheart?
Listen to its instant drumming
Glisten to its constant humming
Baby, Listen to my heart!
Our heartbeats shouldn't be beating apart

A Sparrow's Thoughts.... (Number Six)
you can send the lie in the form
of the unemployment check, in the
form of food stamps, in the form
of Medicaid, in the form of new
policies, in the form of charity...
but the truth is you dont give a damn
until you are willing to share all
you have with fairness, until you're
willing to put your shoulders to the
load, until you're willing to get
involved in the work of equality!

Monument
I got the message in my mailbox
Nobody goes to church no more
Theyre closing down your little altar
Theyve locked the sanctuary door
Dont fight it
Who can say that you didnt try
Dont fight it
Old soldiers never die
Where will I go to leave my offering
To think about how lifes so queer
And listen to the little choir
The sermon I dont care to hear
Dont fight it
Who can say that its not the end
Dont fight it
And if we dont meet again
I know somewhere a monument
Stands in the name of our love
Somewhere are monuments
Standing in the name of our love
Ive seen such strange times
Seems like lifetimes
Sometimes good and sometimes bad
And I dont see how it could
Have been much different
Everybody gave the best they had

hEaRt LisT! ! ! ! ! *cuZ uR my eVeRthinG
My heart wants to be whole
And beating its way through the dark
But my heart doesnt always get what it wants..
My heart wants you cuz ur my everything
But my heart doesnt always get what it wants..
My heart wants to love myself
But my heart doesnt always get what it wants..
My heart wants to live for what we live for in life
But my heart doesnt always get what it wants..
My heart wants to chase after you
And let go of all I've held on to
But my heart doesnt always get what it wants..
My heart wants to end this empty numbness
That it's feeling and wants to feel the blood of love
Gushin form the veins of its insanity
It wants this pain to go away with a vengeful, suffering way
It wants to make every f*ckin soul on earth
Feel the horrific pain he made me gor through
The nights he left me lonely
The days he ignored the heart being torn out for him
My heart wants to end it all
Every once in a while my heart does get what it wants.................

Dont Listen To Linda
By tommy boyce & bobby hart
Dont listen to linda
She said all those things before
Shes just a pretender,
And though you couldnt love her more
Shell lead you on, and then one day
Shell say youll have to part
Dont listen to linda
Shell only break your heart.
Dont listen to linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, shell do it twice
Theres more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Dont listen to linda,
Or youll end up like me.
Youll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, dont underestimate her,
cause sooner or later,
The goings gonna start to get rough.
Dont listen to linda,
Dont believe the things you hear.
Youll end up, contender,
For the loser of the year.
Ive said everything I can
To try and make you see
Dont listen to linda,
Or youll end up like me.

I Dont Want To Talk About It
(danny whitten, 1977)
I can tell by your eyes that youve probbly been cryin forever,
And the stars in the sky dont mean nothin to you, theyre a mirror.
I dont want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, wont you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart;
Blue for the tears, black for the nights fears.
The star in the sky dont mean nothin to you, theyre a mirror.
I dont want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, wont you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I dont want to talk about it, how you broke this ol heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, wont you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart.

It Dont Matter
Now in your big flash motor and your wild reputation
Youre ready to hit the streets
Winking at the boys, yeah heading for the noise
Got the world at your feet
If leaving me for dead with a pistol at my head
Is your idea of how Id feel
Well let me tell you honey fore you spend all of your money
I got my hands firmly on the wheel
It dont matter
It dont matter
It dont matter to me
It dont matter
It dont matter
It dont matter to me
Back street lover in the cold of the evening
Takes you to a place he knows
Says, it will be fine better make up your mind
Youve cut it deep and now it shows
Its way past midnight and your traveling through the city
Youre wondering what you should do
Well baby cant you see that youve had enough of me
And Ive certainly had enough of you
It doesnt matter
It doesnt matter
It doesnt matter

Dont you ever learn?
The hand may find you
Its time to take a turn
You think this life is something strange
Youre ready for another change
But dont you ever learn?

Dont you ever learn?
The world is on fire
Your body doesnt burn
Kill yourself before receiving
Something out of all this breathing
Dont you ever learn?

Listen With Your Eyes
I dont need no special things to get me high
All I needs a touch of ron to get me by
I see people travelling, never make a move
I dont follow my leader, needles in the groove
I dont like sitar, it dont touch guitar
People selling me heaven, praying to the sky
I dont read their message
Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes (I love it)
Youve had a hustling day
Your lifes roundabout anyway
I got my feet on the ground
That doesnt mean I dont get around
I get up on tops and down on mr. blue
I love to see a daybreak
Its not a chemical wide awake
I like a rub in the tub
I never want to pull out the plug
I get up on tops and down on mr. blue
Mr. blue!
People search the dailies, live by horoscope
Looking for direction, dont they get the joke
I wont fear the reaper, when the curtain falls
Im not vegetating, waiting for the call
I dont like sitar, it dont touch guitar
Wake up to the future, you should make your plans
Dreams are made in heaven, life is in your hands
Life is in your hands
Life is in your hands
Life is in your hands
