The Un Security Council Club
I remember when the UN was considered good and great,
But something strange has happened and now they are extremely irate,
And why are we so disliked in that very strange NY place?
Why were we banned from their Security Council rat race?
Their Durban III anti Israeli stance is a global disgrace,
Has the UN ran it’s course or is this only a test case?
Or has it become a hindrance and likely to cause more trouble?
Is it possible that someone somehow could burst their bubble?
Or has it turned into an exclusive inner circle club?
Where Canada is likely to get a daily or frequent snub?
Should we tell them to shove it and quickly march out the door?
Or should we take the insult and wait and see if there’s more?

One Flew Over the UN Cuckoo's Nest
Our politicians, bureaucrats and appointees want to stay,
They like it in NY at the UN and don’t want to move away,
But Canada was turned down for a Security Council place,
Indeed this appears like a terrible UN slap in the face.
So somehow, somewhere along the way, the UN went out of gear,
With their Durban I, their Durban II, and Durban III next year,
It looks like they are using Ahmadinejad as a guide,
There was a time when it appeared that we were all on the same side.
Durban III timed for start of UN General Assembly next year,
So all heads of states will be on hand while many others just leer,
Meeting to promote anti-Semitism and hatred for Jews,
The UN should be closed down now because it has ceased to amuse.

Has The Un Gone Over The Deep End?
The UN was a great organization when it started out,
But that was a lifetime ago and now we have some doubt,
Different and odd groups seem to have taken UN control,
They seem to have a very Durban III attitude and goal.
Politically correct media reluctant to find fault,
Seldom mentioned the Durban II anti Israeli assault,
And their Durban III effort next year makes no sense at all,
New York is a fairly peaceful place so no need for to a brawl.
I’m not sure how much of the UN is under their control,
Has anyone ever done a UN public opinion poll?
9/11 and Durban II on that same weekend long ago,
Am I missing something here or is there something I don’t know?

The Un Seems To Be In A Mess
The UN seems to have gone from bad to worse in recent years,
Screaming about human rights in their agitated fears,
But everything is bent in an anti Semitic direction,
Their Durban II and their Durban III in dark reflection.
And that’s not all; an odd group seems to have taken complete control,
And now it seems that the UN has a complete biased role?
And what’s next in their weird schedule of Durban III events?
And what can normal people and countries do to circumvent?
How much influence does New York City have on that now weird place?
Because that glass building is turning into a downright disgrace,
Does anyone ever investigate what’s going on in there?
Or has it reached a point so low that nobody really cares?

Every Day
Every day I see him coming
Every day he walks on by
Life used to be so plain and simple
Before he came into my life
Every night I keep on dreaming
Every night I take him home
We always go to bed together
I always wake up all alone
Chorus:
Oh its strange, so strange
What hes doing to me
Oh its strange so strange
Did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me
The way it just happened to me
Every day outside my window
Always minutes close to eight
I wish he stayed a little longer
But his bus is never late
Every night were dancing slowly
I play the music he adores
Like Sinatra then were talking
All important things for sure
Chorus:
Oh its strange so strange
What hes doing to me
Oh its strange so strange
Did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me
The way it just happened to me
Oh its strange so strange
What hes doing to me
Oh so strange real strange
Did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me
The way it just happened to me

The Tenth Anniversary of 9/11
Durban II and 9/11 on the same weekend, ten years ago,
An insult to both the US and Israel just to let you know,
Durban III scheduled on 9/11 anniversary next year,
It’s hard to believe but certain people want to cheer.
The UN has demonized democracy for some strange reason,
As though dictatorships should be the way to go this season,
The UN obviously needs to give itself a good shake,
Because it seems to be at the mercy of dictators on the make.
Media moguls tend to skirt this upcoming anniversary,
Particularly the blatant connection to beneficiaries,
Political correctness gone completely mad once more,
Anything else happening at the UN back door?

Are Canadians Helpless?
Why are hundreds of refugees and deposed despots coming here?
Are there terrorists among them and do we have something to fear?
Will their strange ideas bring about change and do we already know?
Is it all because of that Charter written by Pierre Trudeau?
Is our government naive and are we missing something somewhere?
Who is influencing our politicians in this strange affair?
How much influence does the far-left-wing UN have here?
They banned us from their Security Council and no one shed a tear.
If we had binding referendums like the Swiss, would it help?
How loud would all those embedded party politicians yelp?
Are we trapped by Trudeau’s Charter that we can’t change?
Too deep in politically correct quicksand to rearrange.

The Nasty Un Oct 6th,2012
It's obvious the useless UN has lost its agenda,
While they allow every dictator tyrant to shout propaganda,
And not just once; they do it again and again, almost every year,
At their General Assembly that certain people revere.
When they refused to let Canada into the Security Council place
Did we complain about this nasty UN slap in the face?
Is there something wrong here that we are not allowed to see?
Who runs this strange outfit and why are we bound to agree?
Is it written somewhere that we have to do what we're told?
Or can we just take a stand or walk out the UN front door?
Apparently not because this kind of stuff is just not done,
But they can't halt a war in the near east that has just begun.

We Need Change Feb 15th 2011
Media moguls manage the news so Canadians don’t know,
That binding referendums should be vital for us to go,
And get control of our politicians so reluctant to change,
Who tax and spend and travel and talk and never rearrange.
And Trudeau’s Charter written for “EVERYONE” on earth should change,
Human rights types and their lawyers lined up and no one thinks its strange,
While we are banned from the Security Countil at the UN,
What’s next and when will they do it to us again and again?
If we can kill babies daily at every abortion clinic,
But banned from assisted suicide by some Supreme Court cynic,
Sue Rodriguez did it the properly and way out of our view,
She died but no one knew how or who or where or what she used.

Durban Iii
They are planning a Durban III conference in New York next year,
Dictatorships that seem to run the UN and tend to commandeer,
The last one was held in Durban SA, a few days before nine eleven,
When thousands of New Yorkers were suddenly sent to heaven.
The Durban platform of anti-Semitic rhetoric was sad,
Still the same platform next year in NY which shows they’re half mad,
And have turned the UN into their own propaganda machine,
Unfortunately they are real - not some monster at Halloween.
The tenth anniversary of Durban II and 9/11 on the same day,
Dictatorship pronouncements mixed with those who kneel and pray,
All democracies failed to attend the last Durban affair,
Timing next year so that they can’t boycott or walkg away.

A War Over There
It seems they are always having a war somewhere over there,
And the loosing side is calling the UN to come and take care,
Sometimes it’s religion, sometimes it’s national or even tribal,
And the UN makes an announcement as though they are liable.
Certain UN members are then expected to go forth and win,
Otherwise it could be a UN diabolical sin,
Canada is among those states that they are inclined to choose,
No referendums, plebiscites, propositions or reviews.
They refused to let Canada in Security Council place,
Not politically correct enough though right in our face,
Has the UN became more trouble than we deserve?
Could we pull out of the UN or do we have the nerve?

Strange Magic
Youre sailing softly through the sun
In a broken stone age dawn.
You fly so high.
I get a strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.
Youre walking meadows in my mind,
Making waves across my time,
Oh no, oh no.
I get a strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.
Oh, Im never gonna be the same again,
Now Ive seen the way its got to end,
Sweet dream, sweet dream.
Strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.
Its magic, its magic, its magic.
Strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic.

Oh, what a strange magic strange magic
Oh, its a strange magic.

The Un In Africa
Some little place in Africa changed dictators today,
Nobody really noticed or cared and it’s away over there,
The two dictators disagreed because there can only be one,
Is it likely that this problem was solved with a Bren gun?
Some other little places over there are having a real war,
They’re calling on the UN to quickly send the Peace Corps,
Or maybe a real army to help wipe out the other side,
But its a weekend and the UN is closed down so can’t decide.
Eventually the UN might send their Security Council crowd,
You know, the pompous crowd where Canada was not allowed,
To go and see which side is winning and maybe join in,
Or maybe not if they are not sure which side is going to win.

The Security Council
They are responsible for international peace and security,
Unfortunately what they do seems covered in obscurity,
They come up with their own strange ideas not worth to remember,
Then they refused to allow Canada to be a member.
They may set forth principles for a peaceful settlement now,
Or they may not or they’re afraid it might just cause a row,
But they have to bring fighting to an end according to their rules,
It’s fairly blatant now but they think the rest of us are fools.
Their peacekeepers seem to be missing from where it really counts,
No one seems to realize this or take it into account,
The politically correct are pleased with the way things are,
There are no Middle East problems that they can see, so far.

I Forget Sometimes
I forget sometimes
What it was like to be young.
But then comes that instant
Like a word on the tip of your tongue
That gets muddled in the mind
and becomes hard to find.
I realize that memories fade.
And some I can't get back.
Yet some are so vivid,
some so exact.
I remember moving quickly,
never wanting to wait.
I remember impatience,
hating to be late.
I remember strange sensations
that came so quick.
I remember listening
to my clock that would tick.
But most of my youth
I've forgotten today.
Somehow it got lost
as I made my way.
How that happened
I forget sometimes.

Beautiful Sunday
I waited for beautiful Sunday
Normally place chosen as good day
Visiting shrines, mosques or churches
Well considered Him as impossible to reach
Does he really stay there and reside?
Then why he failed to show us or preferred to hide?
We are all busy persons and have many reasons
Why he should stay away when considered as their sons?
Yes I do concede one point in mind
He is not inaccessible to find
Many may tell that he has found good refuge
Only we fail to recognize and refuse
It is bit confusing and strange
This commonsense has come after considerable age
I have learnt to pray all divine forces
As no one has found them after considerable remorse
Take solace or satisfaction for only visiting
Verbal utterances for all sins and admitting
That may reduce heaviness already existed
This is the position and already stated
We may follow as heard of sheep
Only to wait for and sins to keep
Where else we may find the place to weep?
Only remember him to grant a peaceful sleep
Is it not funny to wait for long seven days?
Precious time lost in finding the solution and ways
Only one day to offer for simple blessing
In case something goes wrong or missing

Strange Kind Of Love
(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
Mystery woman, you play at night
Under darkness, you make everything alright
You wave your magic, and Im in your spell
It may be trouble, but its too soon to tell
Ill go out the back door, if only I could
Baby, youve been up to no good
Its a strange kind of love (strange love), thats leadin me on
Maybe Ill just hang out till dawn
Its a strange love, but its feelin so right
Maybe I should stay here tonight
Its a strange kind of lovin, alright
Call me, what you will
Say I must be crazy, to be addicted to the thrill
Of a mystery woman, with eyes of fire
Feelin hopeless as the flames just grow higher
The other side of midnight, shadows dancing aglow
Its a place, where no man should go
Its a strange kind of love (strange love), thats leadin me on
Maybe Ill just hang out till dawn, yeah
Its a strange love, but it feels so right
Maybe I should stay here tonight
Its a strange kind of lovin, alright, strange kind of love
I dont need trouble, gettin in my way
I got this feelin, that I should turn and walk away
Youre an evil spirit, thats what you are
And Im afraid youre gonna take things too far
Youre tryin to tell me somethin babe, my minds in a haze
Excuse me, but I cant look away
Strange love, thats leadin me on
Maybe Ill just hang out till dawn
Its a strange love, but its feelin so right
Maybe I should stay here tonight
Its a strange love, but Im under your spell
Baby I just cant turn away
A strange love, ooh, but its feelin so right
Mabye I should leave here tonight
A strange kind of lovin, alright
A strange kind of love
A strange kind of love
A strange kind of love, yeah
A strange kind of love
A strange kind of love, baby
Youre a strange kind of love, yeah

For One His Age He's Not Learnt Much
The old fellow Bill he spoke quite loud he must have had drank a few beers
And it would seem he does not have that much between his ears
And anyone of Irish race at him would take offence
For one his age he's not learnt much and he doesn't make much sense.
Of his fellow golf club members he did not like they are Irish he did say
And these of course are put down words when used in such a way
And by putting down a few he disliked he put down a whole race
As he spoke into a microphone in a very public place.
To Bill it might have seemed a joke but such a joke can go too far
When used in a golf club rooms or tavern or in a public bar
One would think he would have more sense that he'd have reached that stage
But to him it doesn't seem to apply that wisdom comes with age.
At the Eastwood Golf Club rooms in Kilsyth he took the microphone
One who ought to have better sense he should have stayed at home
For by putting down a few he disliked he put a whole race down
And the victims of racism not always black or brown.

Politicians With Frozen Feet
No propositions and no binding referendums allowed,
The establishment types want us to talk but with our heads bowed,
To show respect and don’t dare try to turn on the Internet,
Strange ideas that might get inside our heads and then infect.
No mid term or set-date elections or maybe none at all,
Their political parties have us with our backs against the wall,
No proportional representation in their first-past-the-post,
Banned from the UN Security Council or they could boast.
At one time I thought that they might bring about political change,
Not the first time I’ve been disappointed when those in power arrange,
No one with an independent thought is allowed to come forth,
It would be nice to occasionally change things in the north.

Still Falls The Rain
the rain against the windshield endlessly
for many years i cruised around the world
i've finally disembarked my ship of fools
a hero then, a stranger to return
i'd trade my goldrush 'gainst your silvernets
to know what happened after all this time
and in your arms i'm lost forevermore
i wonder how you ever felt in mine
isn't it strange, i still can hear your call
isn't it strange, i'm not a ghost at all
isn't it strange or is it just insane
isn't it strange, the glory and the fame
still falls the rain..
do you remember how we used to play
and how we waved our banners in the sun
do you remember how we gave ourselves away
for some strange kind of fun
and how we smiled as if we'd understood the writings on the walls
and cooked our spice on silver spoons
and if we wouldn't see the light
we overdosed the foll'wing night
isn't it strange...
i've got burnholes in my fingers that could not ease your pain
or was it me who killed the blue inside your eyes?
when silence grew behind our shadows on the wall
but if all was silent, could we hear a bit more?
i wonder can you hear me now? - isn't it strange
ohhh...
isn't it strange, i still can hear your call
isn't it strange, i'm not a ghost at all
isn't it strange or is it just insane
isn't it strange, the glory and the fame
still falls the rain..
