Come The Sun!

 

"I am your enemy, knock me down,
Take my land, my wealth, my crown.
With one foot in a pauper's grave, 
Reduce me to a fool, a slave.

But as you toy with the tethered goat,
My son, the Lion, is taking note!
Now is the time, now is the hour!
To unleash his healing power!

Come the Sun! Come the Sun!
The Sun will rise on the Chosen one!
Come the Sun! Come the Sun!
When he is risen, the war is won!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...

Goddamn your evil heart and eyes,
The bad will perish and the good will rise.
Killing us off for profit and fun,
You thought the global war was won.

Come the Sun! Come the Sun!
The Sun will rise on the Chosen one!
Come the Sun! Come the Sun!
When he is risen, the war is won!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...

People all over, rising up.
Seems that they have had enough.
Retribution overdue.
Reject the rule of the Global Few!

The bought and paid for all in place,
How could THEY possibly lose the race?
But they forgot one simple lesson,
The folks with whom the bought were messing!
Come the Sun! Come the Sun!
The Sun will rise on the Chosen one!
Come the Sun! Come the Sun!
When he is risen, the war is won!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...

The traitor within the enterprise,
Imposes rule by guile and guise,
But we are woken to the lies.
So, it should come as no surprise.
 
That people rage when children die,
And seek to remedy, rectify.
Because you cannot kill us all,
You can't avoid your own downfall!

Come the Sun! Come the Sun!
The Sun will rise on the Chosen one!
Come the Sun! Come the Sun!
Once we rise, the war is won!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah..."

Look At The Pretty Girls!


Wrote the original 'Look At the Pretty Girls' back in the early 1990s.

Here is the 2024 version...

"What is this world but a world of care? 
Ah, pity poor everyman. 
Everyone minds their own affair 
But never many offer a helping hand.

What is this life but a life of trial, 
Where paradise appears and impossible thing? 
But come the sun and a young girl's smile 
And you're seventeen again with a world to win!

Look at the pretty girl, proud to be a woman,
Easing down the street with her head held high.
Child of the sun with her seventh sense gunning
For a man with a passion to satisfy!

Lovers want love, others want laughter,
Some confess a fondness for the South of France.
Mother wants a Prince and a happy ever after,
Daughter wants a Gondola and wandering hands.

Drowning, waving, heady hopes a-raising,
Who's the lady wants to know your name?
You may feel a fool but you gotta be brave
And go say 'hi' or you'll die of shame.

Look at the pretty girl, proud to be a woman,
Easing down the street with her head held high.
Child of the sun with her seventh sense gunning
For a man with a passion to satisfy!

"I love, you love me, 'do you really?
Is it only for the Summer of forever, Amen?
Well, I don't know but it's fun thing I feel
And I'll be here next year if we're still friends'."
Look at the pretty girl, proud to be a woman,
Easing down the street with her head held high.
Child of the sun with her seventh sense gunning
For a man with a passion to satisfy!

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small;
Unwon young woman in the Summer sun,
You're the wonder of the all!

Look at the pretty girl, proud to be a woman,
Easing down the street with her head held high.
Child of the sun with her seventh sense gunning
For a man with a passion to satisfy!

Look at the pretty girls, proud to be a woman,
Easing down the street with the Summertime come.
Children of the sun with their seventh sense gunning
For a man with a passion to match their own!"

Killing Field


This was written this year - 2024.

The backing was constructed in October.
"THEY have a plan for me,
A terminal guarantee.
I have to go,
THEY say so.
Simple as ABC.

THEY have a plan for you,
For the many, but not the few.
WW3 is due right now,
And you have to die on cue.

No fate is sealed.
You must not yield!
You have to break free
From the killing field!

In the planning for many a year,
The policy is clear.
They have a plan,
For everyman,
They want us all gone from here.

No fate is sealed.
You must not yield!
You have to break free
From the killing field!

Warplane, tank and nuclear fission
Are making the case for globalism.
With all of that a-heading my way,
I ain't gonna give my guns away!

The global few should do the math,
We're all done with the psychopath!

No fate is sealed.
You must not yield!
You have to break free
From the killing field!"

You Made Love To Me!



Wrote this in 1996.


For a girl who threatened her boyfriend (my pal) with a knife.

They are now happily married. With kids, etc. 
"Hushabye, baby, don't you cry
Man must live and a man must die.
Man must be bravc man must be strong
And man be punished when he's done wrong

Hushabye baby don't you see,
There's a place for you and me.
Where I'll be yours and you'll be mine
And making love is the grand design.

You made love. You made love.
You made love. You made love to me.

Every little boy, every full grown man
Only ever had eyes for my best friend.
And though I know you saw her first,
You came to me when the bubble burst

You made love. You made love.
You made love. You made love to me.

While the cat was away did you think to play?
Did you save me up for a rainy day?
Was I just some bit of fun?
Another notch upon your gun?
And wham, bam, no thank you ma'am,
If I want a little more than a one night stand?
Oh, cheap away day, make pretends?
Video camera, show your friends?
Well you never saw the final cut,
The body in the bed is staying put!

You made love. You made love.
You made love. You made love to me.

Man be warrior, man be king
And womankind be his plaything
But now you'll never leave my bed
Because of the one fairy tale you had not read!

You made love. You made love.
You made love. You made love to me."

I'm Gonna Live Forever


The original was written and recorded 1990-1991.


This version was created in October/November 2024.
"There's no new thing in the universe, no matter how far you wander,
But somebody else has been there first and stolen all your thunder!
Still I will be a handsome face upon the scene,
I'm gonna go the once place left where no one's ever been!

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live forever!
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live forever!
I ain't gonna die, nor never grow old, never gonna fade away.
I'm gonna live forever more, starting from today...

You tell me to forget it, I will never make the frame,
I will never tread the glory trails of power and fame.
You're all too ready to write me of before I have begun,
Well, I'm gonna do the one thing left that no one's ever done!

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live forever!
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live forever!
I ain't gonna die, nor never grow old, never gonna fade away.
I'm gonna live forever more, starting from today...

If you want to live forever,
Keep your life and soul together,
In the land of never, never,
Take my hand, make a wish,
Close your eyes and picture this,
A never-ending life of unimaginable bliss!

Patronise me, criticise me, tell me I'm a fool,
Pack my satchel full of books and send me back to school,
But how come if you know it all, and your IQ so high,
That I'm gonna live forever more and you're just gonna die?

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live forever!
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live forever!
I ain't gonna die, nor never grow old, never gonna fade away.
I'm gonna live forever more, starting from today... 
Patronise me, criticise me, tell me I'm a fool,
Pack my satchel full of books and send me back to school,
But how come if you know it all, and your IQ so high,
That I'm gonna live forever more and you're just gonna die?

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live forever!
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live forever!
I ain't gonna die, nor never grow old, never gonna fade away.
I'm gonna live forever more, starting from today."

Have You Seen Johnny?


Wrote and recorded this song in October 2024.
"I knew a feller was bound to fail, 
Kept on searching for the holy grail. 
I knew a guy misspent his youth. 
Would not stop looking for the hidden truth.

Have you seen Johnny? 
Have you seen John? 
Have you seen Johnny? 
My friend Johnny's been gone too long.

Long blonde hair and bright blue eyes 
And a smile to win the smiling prize. 
I knew a feller who was on my team, 
I knew a feller had a hell of a dream.

He didn't quote book or nursery rhyme, 
He'd listen, consider then speak his mind. 
Gonna set the world aright, he said. 
Gonna put the devil's kin to bed.

Have you seen Johnny? 
Have you seen John? 
Have you seen Johnny? 
My friend Johnny's been gone too long.

He preached the value of a golden code. 
But I doubt he found the motherlode. 
The powers-that-be they come down hard, 
On the solitary hero standing guard.

Have you seen Johnny? 
Have you seen John? 
Have you seen Johnny? 
My friend Johnny's been gone too long.

He had to put the world to right 
And off he went to fight the fight. 
But you tell the truth in truthless age 
And THEY'll erase that truthful page.

I hear tell they shot him down 
And buried him in unhallowed ground. 
Well, Johnny still has a world to save, 
And I won't believe it till I see his grave.

Have you seen Johnny? 
Have you seen John? 
Have you seen Johnny? 
My friend Johnny's been gone too long.

Though the fires of hell they choke and burn, 
Johnny never broke one single vow. 
And he said one day he would return. 
Come home Johnny, we need you now!

Have you seen Johnny? 
Have you seen him? 
You might have seen Johnny, 
Where there's a world to win.

Have you seen Johnny? 
Have you seen John? 
Have you seen Johnny? 
My friend Johnny's been gone too long."

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder


Wrote this in 1987 and recorded it in 1992.
"Don't ask me why I'm not at home,
Don't ask me why I rarely phone.
Don't ask me why I'm never there,
When you know full well how much I care.

What the eye don't see must the heart then censure?
That's the way of misadventure,
Remember then when you're wondering whether,
How it'll be when we come together!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Distance gives affection room to breathe.
Lovers love most the more they wander,
Far away from the ones they have to leave.

There is but one who holds my heart,
Close unto hers when we're far apart.
Never you weep or wonder who,
When I only ever think of you.

And though a man may flirt and he may tease,
When she's not there to meet his needs,
When I'm away I dream of you,
All by myself in a lonely room.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Distance gives affection room to breathe.
Lovers love most the more they wander,
Far away from the ones they have to leave.

I see an oriental vision,
Come to play at passion and romance.
Farewells are an artificial schism.
A dream is ever welcome at the dance.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Distance gives affection room to breathe.
Lovers love most the more they wander,
Far away from the ones they have to leave.

Don't ask me why I'm not at home,
Don't ask me why I rarely phone,
Don't ask me why I'm never there,
When you know full well how much I care.

There is but one who holds my heart,
Close unto hers when we're far apart.
Till my return then, cease your doubts,
Let peaceful dreams be Queen of my house.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Distance gives affection room to breathe.
Lovers love most the more they wander,
Far away from the ones they have to leave."

Who Needs You?


The video was constructed using A.I. in November 2024.

The song was originally written in the mid 1970s.
"The man said, 'son you got it made,
Pretty boy you gonna make the grade.
Your name in lights this time next year,
You just can't lose if you sign here!'

Who needs you?
Who needs you?
I make one, baby,
You take two, oh,
Who needs you?
Who needs you?

The man said, 'boy, for goodness sake,
It's in my power to see you make it,
Stick with me and it will pay,
You'll see the sense in what I say!' Ah...

Who needs you?
Who needs you?
All I want is what I'm due, ah,
Who needs you?
Who needs you?

Who needs you? Who needs you? Ah, Who needs you? Who needs you? Mister, you know what you can do. Who needs you?
Who needs you?

The man said, 'son, you're on your own,
Little boy lost without a home,
Got no use for fellow man,
Make it alone if you can!
Who needs you?
Who needs you?
Many more waiting in the queue, oh,
Who needs you?
Who nees you?

'Silly Billy, Billy, silly Billy boy,
Head in the clouds and acting coy,
Well, you had a Sugar Daddy, ten feet high,
Business Man, Master Spy,
And he's watching every move you make,
You put your fingers in the fire, well, for heaven's sake!
You're gonna get burned,
You're gonna get burned,
You're gonna get burned, afore you wake!

You're gonna get turned,
You're gonna get turned,
You're gonna grovel and squirm but it's too late!

You're gonna get learned,
You're gonna get learned,
You gotta earn that lucky break.

You're gonna get burned,
You're gonna get turned,
You're gonna get learned your truth is fake?

Hey-yay-hey-yay!'

Who needs you?
Who needs you?"
