Not To Restrict
A fluid mind turned on...
Wants to stay strong!
With...
An energy that motivates initiative.
And...
Keeping what is wished unlimited.
Not to restrict,
It...
To pity fixes.
A fluid mind turned on...
Wants to stay strong!
Not to restrict,
It...
To pity fixes.
A fluid mind turned on...
Wants to stay strong!
With...
An energy that motivates initiative.
And...
Keeping what is wished unlimited.
Not to restrict,
It...
To pity fixes.

Here I Am Again
When I turned away,
I...
Never thought I'd be back.
Or wished I had not left,
But...
When I turned away,
I...
Had excuses to be made.
Thinking away I would stay.
And yet,
Here I am again.
For reasons not lamented.
Here I am again.
With opened eyes.
And,
Here I am again...
Seeing,
For the first time...
With a change of mind.
Patience taught me how to find.
When I turned away,
I...
Never thought I'd be back.
Or wished I had not left,
But...
When I turned away,
I...
Had excuses to be made.
Thinking away I would stay.
Forever!
But,
Here I am again.
For reasons not lamented.
Here I am again.
With opened eyes.
And,
Here I am again...
Seeing,
For the first time...
With a change of mind.
And...
Hoping I will find you,
Forgiving.
And willing,
To free me...
Of your doubts!

Shitty Kitty City
There's a lobby by my study where my visitors may enter
which, since we got the kittens, has a dirtbox at the centre.
They're still too young to go outside, that's why I ask for pity:
they've turned my quiet oasis into Shitty Kitty City.
Pity, pity, isn't it a pity?
They've turned my quiet oasis into Shitty Kitty City.
Their mother trained them very well to go into the tray.
They do their stuff and cover it - that's fair enough, you say;
but litter gets flicked everywhere, so underfoot is gritty:
you need your wellies on indoors for Shitty Kitty City.
Pity, pity, isn't it a pity?
You need your wellies on indoors for Shitty Kitty City.
Mind the crap... Mind the crap... Stand clear of the turds, please.
I scoop the jobbies off the floor: the cats think I collect 'em,
so each one keeps on squeezing me a present from its rectum.
There's steaming heaps all over, and it isn't smelling pretty -
it's best to wear a gasmask when in Shitty Kitty City.
Pity, pity, isn't it a pity?
It's best to wear a gasmask when in Shitty Kitty City.
Ip dip dog shit, you are not it.
But soon they will be big enough to do it in the garden.
I'm putting out my begging bowl, for which I beg your pardon.
And now you see, good people all, the reason for my ditty -
a whipround for a catflap door for Shitty Kitty City.
Pity, pity, isn't it a pity?
I need to buy a catflap door for Shitty Kitty City.

Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I write about whatever comes to mind,
singing about the promised land,
and my failed relationships,
and how the world can be so cold,
I try to stay positive,
in the hard times that life gives us,
trying to stay on the right track,
and stray from the darker side of life,
Chorus: Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
I know what happened and why you are,
where you are,
how they had made you feel,
like you had done something wrong,
and how they mock you in their evil manner,
how you took a blade to your skin,
wishing you could escape everything,
and just make the pain go away,
how you wished you could make everything go away,
Chorus: Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
When I had heard the news,
I nearly broke down and cried,
knowing what kind of pain you were going through,
and how confused and alone you had felt,
like the world was against you again,
the one that you loved,
betrayed you in the darkest of night,
and made you feel so worthless,
made you feel like you couldn't go on,
The worlds cold and evil like that,
but I'm right here holding your hand,
hoping that you'll hold on with me,
hoping that the love I have for you will give you hope,
Chorus: Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
You looked for love in the wrong places,
and found out the one that you loved,
wasn't the person he said he was,
he hurt you so badly,
it makes me so mad,
and makes me a person I don't want to be,
I want to be the man you can count on,
I want to be the man that gives you hope,
the man that you know that really loves you,
just stay strong for me,
I love you Cassandra,
and that love will only stop on the day I die,
and until than I'll keep on loving you,
I'll keep on holding you close to me as you cry,
Chorus: Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,
Stay Strong (My Little Angel)
I'm here with you by yourside,

Don’t Pity Me
I can stand on my own two feet
Spare me the reminder that I came from those lonely streets
Which made me cold as I grew old
Don’t pity me, no don’t pity me at all
I did what was necessary to survive
Build my dreams on hard concrete
Fed myself dust until I couldn’t eat
Why pity me, why pity me at all
Now that I am full, I can use the energy
To do what you could have done
Saved me instead of feeling sorry
Because you pity me, and you pity me until I was no more
So the next time you look down and see me
Remember this, it could have been you not me.

I'm Gonna Be Strong
I can see you're slipping away from me and you're so afraid that I'll plead with you to stay but I'm gonna be strong. I'll let you go your way.
Love is gone and there's no sense in going on and your pity now would be more than I could bare so I'm gonna be strong. I'll pretend I don't care.
I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can. I'm gonna be strong and let you go along and take it like a man.

Why Would I Seek Limits?
I'm a mammal not to be seen on a mantel like a candle,
With a flicker to blow out.
Or...
Cast a shadow to be seen,
In a darkened house.
Or peeping out of windows,
Caged up like a frightened mouse.
Not me,
No...
Why would I seek limits?
Not me,
No...
What would be the benefit if I lived just to sit.
And...
What would be the benefit to sit and just restrict.
Not me,
No...
Why would I seek limits?
Not me,
No...
What would be the benefit to sit and just restrict.
I'm a mammal not to be seen on a mantel like a candle,
With a flicker to blow out.
Or...
Cast a shadow to be seen,
In a darkened house.
Not me,
No...
What would be the benefit to sit and just restrict?
Like so many who find limits to do this as if it's wished.

Pity, pity, pity
Look at to the unwanted child
Look at to the divorced wife
Look at to the homeless man
What people do other than saying
“Pity, pity, pity”
Look at to the tragic hero
Look at to the sympathized villain
Look at to the clueless victim
What witnesses do other than staring
“Pity, pity, pity”
Look at to the crazy dreamer
Look at to the unlucky gambler
Look at to the stubborn fighter
What friends do other than whispering
“Pity, pity, pity”
Look at to the withering flower
Look at to the starving animal
Look at to the extinct nature
What human do other than howling
“Pity, pity, pity”
Look at to the empty spaces
Look at to the blank faces
Look at to the lost traces
What devils do other than laughing

Dead Car Battery Blues
One, two, a-one, two, three, four
Well i, cant go to the park
I cant go to work
I cant do nothin
I gotta stay in my house like a jerk
How come I always lose
My car has blown a fuse
Oh yeah
I got hydraulic fluid leakin in my shoes
And the dead car battery blues
You know, cant visit my girlfriend
I cant go to school
I cant go anywhere
Gotta stay in my room like a fool
cause I got grease in my hair
My belvederes in disrepair
Oh yeah
I got hydraulic fluid leakin in my shoes
And the dead car battery blues
So i, went to see my mechanic
He said, okay, now what is wrong
I told him my car wouldnt start
He said, this shouldnt take very long
So he replaced all my plugs and my points
And he looked at my carburetor
He took out my engine and turned it around
And then seventeen hours later
He looked at my headlights and said
Son, how long have these things been on
I told him, oh, about three or four weeks
He said, buddy, I know whats wrong
But I hate to be the one to give you the news
You got the dead car battery blues
So now i, cant go to my office
Cant work on my job
I might as well lock myself up in my room
And live my life like a slob
How come I always lose
My belvedere has blown a fuse
Oh yeah
I got hydraulic fluid leakin in my shoes
And the dead car battery blues

How Strong
(chorus)
How strong is my love?
How strong is my love?
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?
Ill walk a water mile
Rest a while to kiss your smile
Laugh and roll and after a while
Ill begin to like your style
(bridge)
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?
She turned me down this time
She turned me down
Lord, I cant believe she
She turned me down
She turned me inside out
She turned me down
All I ask of you
Is turn me up this time
(chorus)
Come on over show me your
Your glow soul I do adore
Ill be sure to drop my guard
Give it up its not that hard

Tested life but thats alright
Darker than the darkest night
Living hell and pollocks at you
Getting new down your back
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?

That Pity B-Gone!
Let that pity b-gone!
No more from me you get pity.
That pity b-gone!
You indulged and had to rid of it.
That pity b-gone.
And also going are those benefits.
If you carry on...
Like you can't handle it!
Let that pity b-gone!
No more from me you get pity.
That pity b-gone!
You indulged and had to rid of it.
That pity b-gone.
And also going are those benefits.
If you carry on...
Like you can't handle it!
We knew that pity had to split!
B-gone.
We knew that our hearts would split, and soon...
B-gone.
If we let that pity sit,
Between us....
Both of us would have a fit.
If we let that pity sit,
Both of us would have a fit.
If we let that pity sit...
Between us!
And...
You'd believe,
That I could never love you.
To leave me feeling sorry,
And blue.
But...
I would know,
How deep inside my love goes.
And protecting what I love,
Before it overflows.
Let that pity b-gone!
No more from me you get pity.
That pity b-gone!
You indulged and had to rid of it.
That pity b-gone.
And also going are those benefits.
If you carry on...
Like you can't handle it!
So...
No more from me you get pity.
That pity b-gone!
You indulged and had to rid of it.
That pity b-gone.
And maybe not so much the benefits.
Since I would miss too much your many moods.
That pity b-gone.
No more from me you get pity.
That pity b-gone!
You indulged and had to rid of it.
That pity b-gone.
No more from me you get pity.
That pity b-gone!
You indulged and had to rid of it.
That pity b-gone.
No more from me you get pity.
That pity b-gone!
You indulged and had to rid of it.
That pity b-gone.
No more from me you get pity.
That pity b-gone!
You indulged and had to rid of it.
That pity b-gone!

Youre slipping away from me
And youre so afraid
That Ill plead with you to stay
But Im gonna be strong
And let you go your way
Love is gone
Theres no sense in holding on
And your pity now
Would be more than I could bare
But Im gonna be strong
And pretend I dont care
Im gonna be strong
And stand as tall as I can
Im gonna be strong
And let you go along
And take it like a man
When you say its the end
Ill hand you a line
Ill smile and say
Dont you worry Im fine
But youll never know darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How Ill break down and cry.

Crying For No Tears
No one knows why I cry
But then again no one knows that I cry
I don't like to cry
So when everyone is away and it's dark, I cry
I cry in the dark because I can't in the light
I have to stay strong and represent strength and the light
Light that there is hope, and that there really is a light
So in the dark I cry and dry my tears, before comes the light
My tears are a mere reflection of my sorrow
How the past, the present, and maybe future are my sorrow
A lot of mistakes turned tears, are my sorrow
Friends, family, and situation, are my sorrow
None of these right now, I can change
But being strong is my change
And keeping others strong, is my change
Hoping that one day no more tears, will be my change

Heart
(diane warren/robbie buchanan)
We said we'd try again
But trying's not enough
Acting like strangers
Ain't no way of making love
It's never gonna work
It's time we stop pretending
It's time to turn the page
All stories need an ending
It makes no sense to stay
Livin' my life in yesterday
I'm leaving, i'm leaving
And i'm begging you
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you i know
Let me, let him go
Don't let me think about
How good it was before
I know you'd try anything
To keep me from that door
It's hard to leave him
When you've loved him for so long now
How can i walk away
If you're still holding on now?
I've finally found the strength
Look at me, i can finally say
It's over, it's over
So, i'm begging you
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you i know
Let me, let him go
It makes no sense to stay
Sad that it has to end this way
It's over, it's over
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you i know
Let me, let him go
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart it's hard for you i know
Let me, let him go
Let me, let him go

Life Energy Is Unique
Life energy is fluid energy
Distinguished from other energies.
It cannot be created
From any other energies.
Life energy is produced
Only from the life energy.
It has a drive for survival.
It has a drive for progeny.
Life energy is a single string
For the whole living kingdom.
It builds matter around it
With the help of other energies.

All Creations Are Bigot Of Astral Fluid!
Look at creations, that found temporal,
All Creation Is Begot Of
Astral-Fluid,
That fluid which is superfine, Thinner than vacuum,
Brilliant than all brilliance put together!
Stand still filling universe,
And Super wise to supervise,
That I or you are bigot of that fluid!
Let learned learn to understand,
Let him learn something,
Learning has no end,
Each word learnt is a dropp of that fluid,
I am that superfine, super wise fluid,
Never flow, but supervise the wave,
The wave of own thought and deed in that still fluid!
That story of Astral fluid written by itself,
Written on itself,
Distorted it looks with every wave!
Same thought is represented indifferent language,
Causes interference,
Some may understand and some cannot,
Most dangerous are those who understand more,
but with their own colour and distorted design!
It would be better to resign,
than spoil divine design!
How for the sure God is there,
But one when raises his self,
God will ask him 'what is your chisel,
What is the material which,
how you like to carve,
What are your desires dear,
I will write your fate as you wish! '
But more clever is that man who sees,
His ego first through which he see The GOD!
He says to God, 'Thanks dear,
Stop cheating yourself,
I know for sure I and you are one,
I have to pay for my wish,
You write my fate, but on which slate,
It is my ego on which you write,
Cause and effect will strike and writes another part,
What ever you wish to write, thou art my self that has to face the fate!
My friend sang...
Alas..! Then the learned would
learn to behave.
My writings, in certitude of forte
at mind' MINE`
are beautiful source of text, an
imponderable hymn, deliverance of a polymathic
understanding in rhythm,
imbuing inner'self to realize a
Knowledge' DIVINE` Knowledge is Being of God...
what I call 'Astral-Fluid'
Indeed what science calls it... a
fluid SUPERFINE`

Get Up Off That Pity Pot
Why don't you,
Get up off that pity pot...
You've sat on quite a lot.
Why don't you get up off that pot.

Why don't you,
Get up off that pity pot...
You've sat on quite a lot.

Why don't you get up off that pot.
No need to keep weeping tears,
That long ago overflowed.
Why don't you,
Get up off that pity pot...
You've sat on quite a lot.
Holding onto woes,
Have eroded your motives.
Get up off that pity pot...
You've sat on quite a lot.
So wipe your eyes to dry,
And realize...
You are not alone.
You're not alone.
You are not alone.

Get up off that pity pot...

You're not alone.
You are not alone.
You're not alone.
Get up!
Get up off that pity pot...
You've sat on quite a lot.
You need to get up off that pot.
Why don't you get up off that pot.
Why don't you,
Get up off that pity pot...
You've sat on quite a lot.
You need to get up off that pot.
Why don't you get up off that pot,

I Pity You
I pity you when you walk down the street
I pity you when you open your mouth to speak
You will tell your story, with its pity and glory
As sympathy is all that you do seek.
I pity you and your parents dear
I pity you when from you they don’t want to hear
As you put them to blame, for your sadness and pain
That’s why for you no-one will shed a tear.
I pity you when you laugh and smile
I pity you as your life is full of guile
But you are the source, for your sadness and remorse
And you wont change even when walking your last mile.
I pity you as you once had something
I pity you as now you have nothing
You threw everything away, so you could stray
Now your retribution will be coming.
I pity you as with time you will age
I pity you with your hate and your rage
You will always fight, whether you are wrong or right
You are the animal and your soul is your cage
I pity you and I do it without a clue
I pity you whenever I see or hear of you
There is no sympathy, as your not my friend or enemy
And all I can say is, that I truly pity you.
