All Shall Be Well?
'All shall be well
And all shall be well
And all manner of things shall be well, '
Said Mother Julian,
Which is all very well
If you're a mystic,
But how can you tell
That to someone
Who's dying of starvation?
The Road to Hell
Is paved with comforting phrases!

Gonna Raise Hell
Words and music by rick nielsen
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Ambition? ha!
If all Ive heard is true,
Theres nothin much I can do
To change the world, its irreversible.
But in what it lacks,
Its got a taste that smacks of somethin irresistable.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Submission? yes!
Now I wont name names, and a secrets a secret,
But a hints a hint or a clue.
You really wanna know, you really wanna go,
Theres only two things you got to do.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Mother, mother.
Mother, mother.
Mother, mother.
My mission? ah, yes!
Everybody hear? everybody here,
Its a fate I all agree.
Sometimes you win, I never lose,
To me its no mystery.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.

Comforting To Know
(Carly Simon)
When the heart of the hundred acre wood is beating
And time is passing through
There's a shadow looking like a rainbows halo
And there I'm resembling you
More than fame
A name on a tree
More than power or might
Sweeter than the treats of a honey bee
I'll be here through the night
It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know
Silent as the moon at dawn
Soothing as a bed filled with hay
Strong as a hero in the land of old
I'll be here through the day
It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know
Greyer than gloom on a rainy afternoon
Sadder than being sorry for me
Finer than finding my tail again
I'll be here for all of thee
It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know
You only get a few good friends in this life
Who are devoted and true
And right here in this now and near
It's clear that it's all of you
I'll find you when you're hard to see
I'll look for you everywhere
You'll know just how I'm feeling when
I show you that I care
It's comforting to know
It's so comforting to know

“food Of The Gods”
McKenna said; “They are the food of the gods”
“Has been so for 10,000 years, more or less
Consumed by shamans and a few demigods,
‘Til Laws made psilocybin illegal to possess”
It’s hard to profit from things we need not buy
For shrooms can be found growing in the wild
Alas, Feds cannot tax what grows in a cow pie!
For such a foul beginning...
It’s a wonder these unlikely fungi aren’t reviled
Some day, if you should stumble upon shrooms
Remember;
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”
A “Good trip” can never be assumed,
You could fall short of unrealistic expectations
Mother Earth in her wisdom saw it fit,
To propagate her treasure in a plop of shit

Survivor
Everyday,
I think about dying.
About disease, starvation,
violence, terrorism, war,
the end of the world.
It helps
keep my mind off things.

Go Back To Hell
Mystic rainbows - in the night
Flashing colours - shining bright
Cant you see me - in the dark
Feel a heat wave - of a spark
If youre fighting the world just beware of the knives in your back
When you need to defend then you know that its best to attack
See the light - feel the pain - and youre going insane
Go back to hell - go back to hell
To the sight of mystic light youve seen before
Go back to hell - go back to hell
Where the dead are always knocking at your door
Feel so lonely - far away
Eat your heart out - time to pray
Moving faster - to the flames
And Im playing - all the games
If youre fighting the world just beware of the knives in your back
When you need to defend then you know that its best to attack
See the light - feel the pain - and youre going insane
Go back to hell - go back to hell
To the sight of mystic light youve seen before
Go back to hell - go back to hell
Where the dead are always knocking at your door
Go back to hell - go back to hell
To the sight of mystic light youve seen before
Go back to hell - go back to hell
Where the dead are always knocking at your door...

The long road
I was a boy in a big room,
Writing things on the floor,
Wondering what i would become,
A painter or a poet,
My road i paved a long way ago,
My hopes and all my wishes,
Trying to become a man,
When i was yet a boy,
It was a long road
Moving up and down the streets,
Driven by the small beard that developed,
Seating on street corners everyday,
There was more to life they said,
Blowing whistles at girls passing,
Those were the growing days,
My heart made a choice,
Yes along the way
We are who we want to be,
The things we say and claim,
The life we all become,
I met a new life,
I met a new career,
Yes i met a beautiful woman,
In the long road of life.

It is sooth that sin is cause of all this pain; but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. These words were said full tenderly, showing no manner of blame to me nor to any that shall be saved. Then were it a great unkindness to blame or wonder on God for my sin, since He blameth not me for sin. And in these words I saw a marvellous high mystery hid in God, which mystery He shall openly make known to us in Heaven: in which knowing we shall verily see the cause why He suffered sin to come. In which sight we shall endlessly joy in our Lord God.

Mystic Rhythm
So many things I think about
When I look far away
Things I know - things I wonder
Things I'd like to say
The more we think we know about
The greater the unknown
We suspend our disbelief
And we are not alone -
Mystic rhythms - capture my thoughts
And carry them away
Mysteries of night
Escape the light of day
Mystic rhythms - under northern lights
Or the African Sun
Primitive things stir
The hearts of everyone
We sometimes catch a window
A glimpse of what's beyond
Was it just imagination
Stringing us along?
More things than are dreamed about
Unseen and unexplained
We suspend our disbelief
And we are entertained
Mystic rhythms - capture my thoughts
And carry them away
Nature seems to spin
A supernatural way
Mystic rhythms - under city lights
Or a canopy of stars
We feel the powers
And we wonder what they are
We feel the push and pull
Of restless rhythms from afar

I Cant Dance To That
Now theres no storyline
Just a real good time
And I dont want to seem to be mistaken
But theres a tale to tell
On this road to hell
Its in between the lines the case Im making
Oh, lord, look my way
Save me from these crazy things I see
I dont know whats going on round here these days
But I cant dance to that
Oh, I cant dance to that
So let me dance to this
cos I cant dance to that
If youll excuse me please
You see I got to go
And take myself before Im past redemption
A voice is calling out
As if I didnt know
This wretched road is paved with good intentions
All the way
Down this judas track
I know it so well
And I aint going back
I dont know what happened to the good time songs
But I cant dance to that
Oh, I cant dance to that
So let me dance to this
cos I cant dance to that
Tell me what you know
Take away these chains
What stood in front of me it looks so pretty
But I cant dance to a cold machine
Oh, lord, and every drummer you know just what I mean
Oh, I cant dance to that
So let me dance to this

True Love Travels On A Gravel Road (Takes 6,7)
How many girls choose cotton dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace
And stand by her man, never once letting shade touch her face
How many hearts could live through all the winters
We've known and still not be cold
True love travels on a gravel road.
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road.
Down through the years we've had hard times and tears
But they only helped our love grow
And we'll stay together no matter how strong the wind blows
Not once have I seen your blue eyes filled with envy
Or stray from the one that you hold
Oh true love travels on a gravel road.
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road.
Yeah, true love travels on a gravel road. Mmmm
True love travels on a gravel road.
True love travels on a gravel road.

Drifting
Drifting, drifting, drifting away.
I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away.
It's not the world that's heavy, just the things that you save.
And I'm drifting, drifting away.
Drifting, drifting, drifting along.
I rid myself of worries, and the worries were gone.
I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog.
I'm just drifting, drifting along.
The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made."
They get so damn excited, but I guess it's their way.
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.
It's good for drifting, drifting away.
The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made."
They get so damn excited, nothing gets in their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.
It's good for drifting, drifting away.
Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh.
I feel like going back there, but never for long.
I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone.
I'm just drifting, drifting along.
Drifting, drifting along. Drifting, drifting along.
Merry Christmas...

Never Will I Break
Lay me down
And wash this blood off of my hands for me
While I cry out
Don't let me die before I fall asleep
I can't keep going but
I can not start again
This road I walk is paved with the broken promises
I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
These walls I make
They hold me in and hold me back today
Oh but tomorrow to
Then I'll walk right out and walk right over you
If you hear me screamin'
Please don't let me fall again
This road I walk is paved with the broken promises
I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
My time is on it's way
I'll fall but I won't break
This road I walk is paved with the broken promises
I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break

A Mother Is...
a mother is loving,
she stays up all night with
your sicknesses coughing and howling
patting you back, comforting
a mother is loving
a mother is caring
she holds you when your
heart feels like breaking
crying with you when you are aching
a mother is caring
a mother is interested
she asks about your days
and what boys did what and the flirting
“25 cents in the jar please? ! ”
a mother is interested
a mother wants what’s best
curfew broken, I’m so sorry you can’t
late for church family prayers, scripture study
have to get A’s be home before time
a mother knows what’s best
a mother is delicate
“Please don’t do that, come back
you know better choose the right
I love you! ”
a mother is delicate
a mother is you
we’ll get through this together
think of the memories only memories
I am here for you be happy he would want that
a mother is YOU!

Mother, Mother
Mother, Mother
are you crying?
Come and look,
the roses are dying.
Mother, Mother
I am hungry.
Come and see,
the dishes are piling.
Mother, Mother
I am lonely.
Come and hear,
My heart's key is snapping.
Mother, Mother
are you sleeping?
Come and run,
Let's play in the sun once more.
