Things
I cannot even see
what they have become of thee
a scare's for a crow and shoes are for a show
and things there are that must go on
I cannot even hear
if things have come too near
a populated crown and a single drown
looking for a straw
I cannot even blink
for things that make me think
of what the four lettered f you think
that you are doing
I haven't got a single clue
if it's me or you
subject object or apposition

Take Me With You
(released as b-side of we wait and we wonder cd single, 1994)
If you see the light on in the window of my room
Ill be looking out though the shades are drawn
If you should hear someone quietly calling out for your hair
Dont be alarmed it might just be me
Take me with you, take me there
Ill go with you anywhere
Show me all the things you know
Are you with me, are you there
Ill be with you everywhere
Show me all the things you know, you know, you know, you know
The sun always seems to shine on the other side of the mountain
The water is clearer on the other side of the hill
All that water comes to me, ooh as I lay down
Where I am is where I should be
Take me with you, take me there
Ill go with you anywhere
Show me all the things you know - oh
Are you with me, are you there
Ill be with you everywhere
Show me all the things you know
Im holding them close to me
All those things I learned
But theres no questions and answers
So we watch the candle burn, on and on
So the candle burns all night, burns so bright until morning
When I wake I find myself alone
So if you see me - are you here? - hear someone cry, calling out
Rescue me and take me home - take me home
Take me with you, take me there
Ill go with you anywhere
Show me all the things you know - you know
Take me with you, take me with you
Take me with you, take me with you
Show me all the things you know
Please show me
Please take me, show me
Just take me, show me...

Single Is Fair
Single
I am single
Question of double
Does not arise.
I am single
Only single.
Single sun
Single moon
Single earth
Single air
Single sky
Sngle water
Single fire
Single soul
Single body
All are there
All are fair.
Single is single
Single is beautiful
Single is fair.

In The Dark
Make me fumble
Make me fall
Make my heart stop and start
To tremble uncontrollably
Let my eyes see fear make desire
Keep those who long apart
Forbid the kiss
And leave us innocent
Of the things some do in the dark
The things some do in the dark
The things some do in the dark
Make me remember
Make me forget
Make my mind unable
To force the body to do its will
Let it be right for belief and denial
To share a space in the heart and leave us only to imagine
About the things some do in the dark
The things some do in the dark
The things some do in the dark
Make me pretend
Make me expect
Things can go and come to pass
Without trial or tribulation
Let this life space and time
Leave my body with permanent marks
Faded scars and lines
But not a single impression
Of the things some do in the dark
The things some do in the dark
The things some do in the dark
Let me be tempted
Let me be torn
But make my thoughts pure and not
Morally corrupt in form
Let us sleep tonight
Let innocence lie in our dreams and secret hearts
With burning desire
A need to know and do
The things some do in the dark
The things some do in the dark
The things some do in the dark

Beneath Things of Steel By (Mimi M. Meyer)
Do not change...
How would I consume fruit
From these unfamiliar trees?
How would I recognize that branch
That always embarks me from the distance?
Would it be strong enough to hold me...
Without breaking?
Ode to your simple heart,
That emblazoned blood red orbit
Fiery and gazing;
Falling inward beneath your shore...
Steadfast, without even a single blink.
And what would substitute your waters?
What would make up of this lyrical streamline
That I so love and adore?
The only gravel of sand that I would allow...
To let me sink.
My love,
Do not bury of me
Beneath things of steel.
Those cold thoughtless things
That only know how to cut.
I know your soul wants to mirror,
But remember that I love you...
In you I know myself.
Please do not forget,
Do I mean more to you in your pain
Or in that thoughtless silver hour? ...
Ode to your simple heart
That blood red orbit; emblazoned and golden
I see myself within you; fiery and gazing.
Both of us falling inward beneath your shore...
Steadfast, without even a single blink.
A Black Single Rose.
A single black rose.
A single black rose to carry the load,
A single black rose to turn the road,
A single black rose to touch the soul,
A single black rose to widen your hole,
A single black rose to melt your heart,
A single black rose to force a start,
A single black rose to make you cry,
A single black rose to make you dry,
A single black rose to help you climb,
A single black rose to make you lie,
A single black rose to take a life,
A single black rose to take away strife.

The Good Things
Demo version, from mayor of simpleton single.
Released in 1989.
Four-track recording.
Though your heart desires the things that money can buy
Emptiness lies through the glass, I shield your eyes
Theres nothing out there for you, my dear
Theres nothing out there for you
Let me tell you about the good things
The good things
I know your head is full of big ideas
You aint missing anything, have no fear
I have touched the grass so green on the other side
It will grieve you and deceive you with disguise
Theres nothing out there for you, my dear
Theres nothing out there for you
Let me tell you about the good things
The good things
I know you pine for things you see in magazines
That world brings heartache, now its not real, believe me
Remember all of those good things
You know you cant buy all those good things

A Single Black Rose
A single Black Rose to turn the tide
A single Black Rose to make one die
A single Black Rose to ensnare the soul
A single Black Rose to widen that hole
A single Black Rose to melt the heart
A single Black Rose to force a start
A single Black Rose to entwine the bodies
A single Black Rose to dictate the deaths of these
A single Black Rose to lie upon her breast
A single Black Rose to stop the tears from soaking his vest
A single Black Rose to mourn this memory
A single Black Rose to become a plot in this cemetery
A single Black Rose to take a life
A single Black Rose to end his strife.

Drown my sorrows
Drown me,
Drown my depression,
Drown my sorrows,
All the things I have done hurts me inside,
I told myself that everything will be alright,
We shared so much,
All I ever asked myself to drown my sorrows,
When I look back the picture of how happy were,
I wish things will be fine between us,
Drown my sorrows,
Wash away the pain,
Wipe away my tears,
The chapter of my life is incomplete,
I was complete once but ever since I let you go,
I lost apart of me,
Drown me,
Drown my sorrows.

So. The time has come for me to get my kite flying, stretch out in the sun, kick off my shoes, and speak my piece. 'The days of struggle are over,' I should be able to say. 'I can look back now and tell myself I don't have a single regret.' But I do. Many years ago a very wise man named Bernard Baruch took me aside and put his arm around my shoulder. 'Harpo, my boy,' he said, 'I'm going to give you three pieces of advice, three things you should always remember.' My heart jumped and I glowed with expectation. I was going to hear the magic password to a rich, full life from the master himself. 'Yes, sir' I said. And he told me the three things. I regret that I've forgotten what they were.

Single Day
Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not in his thoughts
Not a single day goes by..........
Where his heart does not feel
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not want to reach out
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he dreams of his love for her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not dream of kissing her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not dream of holding her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not ask. Why?
Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not his first thought on waking.
Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not his last thought before sleeping.
Not a single day goes by..........

Everythings Your Fault
Have you heard them talk about it?
You say theyre wrong but they know all about it
Have you tried another story?
Were tired of all the lies and allegories
Every single things your fault
There you are not really jaded
Youve learned to live with being underrated
But they dont know just what youre made of
Because of them who knows how you will end up?
Every single things your fault
With you its always something
Wwhen everyones the same
Dont you try to blame me

This' Should Be the Cause of Your Concern
There is nothing you can now do or say,
To make those painful things you said about me...
Vanish and go away!
Or those dreadful things done behind my back...
For a moment of laughter to slander and attack!
Did you think I would forget,
It was 'my' life you had messed with?
I haven't!
And 'this' should be the cause of your concern!
And 'how' I've been seeking revenge...
Will be the 'thing' you learn!
I'll give you a clue...
I can choose to be as evil as you!
But what would that prove?
Since I am much more creative!

In The Blink Of An Eye
Hey
Is there something I can do?
You broke your heart in two
Many pieces
Now you gotta put it back again
Now when you're trying to make it through
And you're feeling kinda blue
I'll be there to tell you
That things will change
[CHORUS]
When you turn around
All the tears will dry
Whatever was lost
Will be found
In the blink of an eye
When you're losing ground
Hold your head up high
Whatever was lost
Will be found
In the blink of an eye
Hey I know I should be sinkin deep
I know I ought to weep
Like a baby
But it's really not that bad
Cause when my heart was achin'
When my world was shakin'
You were there to tell me
That things will change
[CHORUS]
I thought my heart was on the mend
Now I'm falling for a friend
Someone who was there
When things were changing
In the blink of an eye
Everything changes
In the blink of an eye
What's lost will be found
[CHORUS]
When you turn around
All the tears will dry
Whatever was lost will be found
In the blink of an eye

The Man In Love With You
If you've think I've second guessed it
Or for one minute I've regretted this life with you
No there's never been a moment
not one time I haven't noted
What I have with you
You hold my heart
Deep inside of
every single part
~Chorus~
If I could be anything I wished that I could be
Ohh baby
If I could rule over kingdoms
and maybe even sail the seven seas Ohh oohh
If I could do all the things
that I only dreamed that I could do
I'd still be the Man in love with you
I try everydayd to show it
Just to make sure that you know it
I'm here to stay
And you'll never have a reason
To ever think I'm leaving there just no way
Its no mystery
How i Feel
Baby can't you see
~Chorus~
If I could be anything I wished that I could be
Ohh baby
If I could rule over kingdoms
and maybe even sail the seven seas Ohh oohh
If I could do all the things
that I only dreamed that I could do
I'd still be the Man in love with you
*Bridge*
I can't go crazy
I always see traces
of the only thing in life I'll ever need
if I could do all the things
that I only dreamed that I could do
I'd still be the man in love with you
I'd still be the man in love with you

Why The Things We Do
Why the things we do
By jimmy buffett, jay oliver, roger guth
1989
In an old house down by the beach
Lives an old man whos just out of reach
Oh oh, hes got nothing to lose
Some say hes a crazy old man
A refugee from a rock and roll band
Oh oh, hes still playing the blues
In the morning when you rise
Arent you glad to be alive
Oh oh, put on your barefoot shoes
When you dance beneath the moon rainbow
Cant you feel the afterglow
Oh oh, why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
In the driftwood house you learn how to dream
Truth is stranger than fishing it seems
Oh oh, theres no earthly rules
And the people come just to hear him say
Lifes too short to live your way
Oh oh, whos really fooling who
Invisible means are the key to support
Makes you king in your own court
Oh oh, what have you got to lose
Push the sadness from your heart
Theres no living after dark
Oh oh,
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we...
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
In the morning when you rise
Arent you glad to be alive
Oh oh, put on your barefoot shoes
When you dance beneath the moon rainbow
Cant you feel the afterglow
Oh oh, thats why the things we do
Thats why the things we do
Thats why the things we do
Thats why the things we do

Livin' In A Hut
I've got an ugly liver from drinking too much
I've got painful sliver from thinking too much
Oh I don't want to go on livin' in this rut
I think I'll go out and build me a hut but
Curiosity has got me
Tied up right back where it wants me
And all the things straight people do
Make me think I haven't got a clue
I've good a real good sense for seeking out the booze
But I can't afford to buy a pair of shoes
And when I get some cash it's already been spent

A Cute Poem For A Cute Girl
You changed my world with a blink of an eye,
That is something that I can not deny,
You put my soul from worst to best,
That is why I treasure you my dearest Marites.
You just don't know what you have done for me,
You even pushed me to the best that I can be,
You really are an angel sent from above,
To take care of me and shower with love.
When I'm with you I will not cry even a single a tear,
And your touch have chased away all of my fear.
You have given me a life that I could live worthwhile,
It is even better every time you smile.
It so magical those things you've made,
To bring back my faith that almost fade.
Now my life is a dream comes true,
It all began when I was loved by you.
Now I have found what I am looking for
It's you and your love and nothing more.
Because you have given me this feeling of contentment,
In my life something I've never felt.
I wish I could talk till the end of day,
But now I'm running out of things to say,
So I'll end by the line you already know,
'I LOVE YOU' more than what I could show.
