COME ON OUT AND PLAY

Two kid's steppin' on a vacant lot
One eatin' ice cream, one throwin' rocks.
I see em' every day on my way to work
I give 'em a wave- they're havin' so much fun...

Starin' out a window behind my desk
At a playground covered in rowdiness.
Boys and girls who can't resist
The freedom- of havin' all that fun...

While caught up a cluttered maze,
Of schedules and shrinking wages-
Above the noise sometimes I swear,
I hear my little brother say...

Come On Out, Come On Out,
Come On Out,
Come On Out and Play...

We would race
through those frontier woods.
To dig up treasures
where are markers stood.
We'd fly kites
that would pierce the clouds.
We'd climb tall trees
and yell so loud.
Till' Mother's voice meant supper's on
Come in now...
You're havin' too much fun...

There's no more raidin' gardens
Or throwin' snowballs at those lazy dogs.
Or summers spent on Grandpa's farm
Where my brother once caught a bullfrog.

And said-
Come On Out, Come On Out,
Come On Out,
Come On Out and Play...

My little girl got me on the phone,
Said, "Daddy are you ever comin' home?
"I don't know baby when I'll be done,
I'll let ya know", You go on havin' fun...

Caught within a twisted maze
Of calendars and frantic days-
Sometimes above the noise I swear
I hear my little brother say...

Come On Out, Come On Out,
Come On Out,
Come On Out And Play...

LOVE CAN SAVE YOU

To find a sleeping beauty
You'll have to leave frog pond.
Among the fallen angels
There's one who sings your song.

She Sings-
Love Can Save You,
Love's what made you...
Love Can Save You-
Then You Can Save Me Too... :]

We're roving desperados
Black sheep to the man.
Lost in savage graceland
'Til we meet one of them.

Who sing-
Love Can Save You,
The Love that made you.
Love Can Save you-
Then You Can Save Me Too... :

Love saves...Love saves....

All you need is one - friend
All you need is love... Because-

Love Can Save You,
Love's What Made You.
Love Can Save You-
Then You Can Save Me Too... :]

ThenYou Can Save -
Me Too.

WORRY ( LIVE TAKE )

Everybody wonders
Mamma don't ya see?
Ya cannot see the accident
That's your destiny....

Everybody has some-
Questions for the day.
Maybe you'll get answers
I don't know -either way.

Spent another Sacred hour-
Wearin' a hole in that chair...
Does it help?

You haven't heard a word-
The hours whittle on your nerves
What's that sound?

You sit around and moan-
Listen for the tell-me-phone,
To ease your mind...

The looking glass is dark tonight
And there's no pick me up, at all
around.

Worry, Yeah Worry,
I'd worry too if I was you...
Worry, Yeah Worry,
It's all that you can really do...
Worry, Yeah Worry,
Worry-
That you might catch cold.
Worry-
That your getting old.
Worry that the banks might fail,
Worry, Worry,Worry,Worry...

It's that damn blinking red light,
On every corner of your mind,
Won't it stop?

The future is a threat-
To all the goals you set,
Why even try?

You sit around and moan-
Listen for the tell-me-phone,
To free your mind...

Worry, Yeah Worry,
I'd worry too if I was you...
Worry, Yeah Worry,
It's all you ever seem to do...
Worry, Yeah Worry,
Worry-
That you might catch cold.
Worry-
That your getting old.
Worry when the kids don't call-
Worry...Worry...
La, da da da -
La, da da da da -
Worry...
La, da da da -
La, da da da da -
Worry...
La, da da da -
La, da da da da -
Worry...
La, da da da -
La, da da da da -

Worry, Yeah Worry,
I'd worry too if I was you...
Worry, Yeah Worry,
It's all that you can really do...
Worry, Yeah Worry,
Worry-
That you might catch cold.
Worry-
That your getting old.
Worry that the banks might fail,
Worry, Worry,Worry,Worry.

Every body wonders
How it's gonna end.
I can tell ya this, momma-
You'll never know when...

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR

Write them all a note right now-

And Do Yourself A Favor.
Tell them that you left the oven on-
And you might be back later....
We can sneak out the back door
And Do Us Both A Favor.

Call me up when you get home.
And Do Yourself A Favor.
Let me come around and be around
And do us both a favor.
You know what I want,
Is what you want-
So Do Yourself A Favor.

I might have what you lack-
I could rub your back-
You rubbed mine,
So many times....

Give those blues a rest...
You deserve happiness-
So do I,
Let's give it a try...

Stop this silly shadow dancing
And Do Yourself A Favor.
We can flirt with the romance
And do us both a favor.
Take a walk with me tonight
And Do Yourself A Favor.
Do Yourself A Favor.
Do Yourself A Favor.

Do it girl-
Do it now,
Do Yourself A Favor.

Woah, woah, woah
Do Yourself A Favor.

Do it NOW...

TENDERNESS ( LIVE TAKE )

I can't let you go...
I can't seem to find love,
Anymore...
Anywhere...
In a world that don't care...

All my foamy friends,
All their fancy words-
To buy you off.
I was wrong,
To release you to them.

Now, what I miss
Most of all-
Is Tenderness...

In your hands,
There was healing,
In every finger,
Tenderness.

There's been more
And so much less-
She had the gift
Of Tenderness...

Love has many styles
Love has many grievances
And trials...
To be won -
and after all's been said and done...

Now,
What I miss-
Most of all
Is Tenderness...

And the passion
And the kiss-
But most of all
The Tenderness...

Thinking back
This is best-
But I sure miss
The Tenderness....

So here's a tear,
For Tenderness.....

Another tear
For Tenderness...

"Greetings from Gigland"

Song Lyrics by Daniel Sage (Back to Gigland)

VANITY STRIKES AGAIN...

So this is how it's gonna be then.
My face full of pie and you're leaving,
Your words tore a hole in my wall.
There was no hesitation at all...
No hesitation at all-
And so far to fall...
Brought down, shot down
Vanity Strikes Again.
Brought down, knocked down
Did'nt see it comin.
Brought down, shot down
Need a thicker skin-
Left myself open...Again.

I built my ego out of pieces.
You handed to me one at a time.
You needed to finish your thesis.
I needed to think you were mine.
I needed to think you were mine...
A beautiful lie-

Brought down, shot down
Vanity Strikes Again.
Brought down, knocked down
Did'nt see it comin.
Brought down, shot down
Need a thicker skin-
Left myself open...

Again and again and again....

So this is how it's gonna be then.
My face full of pie and you're leaving
Libidos get the best of us all.
There was no hesitation at all...
No hesitation at all-
Next time I'll know...

Brought down, shot down
Vanity Strikes Again.
Brought down, knocked down
Did'nt see it comin.
Brought down, shot down
Need a thicker skin-

Brought down, shot down
Vanity Strikes Again.
Brought down, shot down ....
Vanity Strikes Again.
Vanity Strikes Again.

GINAS' GOOD ADVICE

Your Pastor said that guy-
Is not right for you.

Your Rabbi said that one-
Is selfish and cruel.

You should've listened girl,
Listened girl-
It's your own fault you know.

You should've listened girl
Listened girl-
It's your own fault you know.

Your Father said that boy-
Will only break your heart.

Your Mother said trust me-
You're better off apart.

You should've listened girl
Listened girl,
It's your own fault you know.

They said I'd hurt you girl
I'll hurt you girl,
I'm rotten to the core.

To the core...

To the core...

Your teachers said that boy's-
A dreamer and a fool...

Your Mother said that one-
Is selfish and cruel.

You should've listened girl
Listened girl,
It's your own fault you know.

They said I'd hurt you girl
I'll hurt you girl...I'm rotten to the core.

You should've listened girl
Listened girl,
It's your own fault you now.

They said I'd hurt you girl
I'll hurt you girl,
I can't help it you know.

SOMEWHERE IN YOUR MIND (LIVE TAKE )

I'm sure the party's
Never ending-
Somewhere In Your Mind.

The drinks are free,
And they're well blended-
Somewhere In Your Mind.

The garden's in bloom,
And it's well tended-
Somewhere In Your Mind

But out here babe,
We're hurting-
It's all so disconcerting
Hearts are broken,
Skin is smokin...

You blow your whistle
When you need me-
Somewhere in your mind.

You curl up and you get
Cozy-
Somewhere In Your Mind.

We're all one big fat happy
Family-
Somewhere in your mind.

While out here babe, we're dying
we're confused and were crying-
Their's criminals, plagues and lying....
But don't let me disturb you now
Sweetheart...

You've probably gone off
To play now-
Somewhere in your mind.

I'm a snapshot for some
Rainy day there-
Somewhere in your mind.

I need a good map
Of your head-
There's things I need to find-

Somewhere in your Mind...
Somewhere in your Mind...
Somewhere...

BHUDDA ( LIVE TAKE )

Bhudda mediates all day
About a bone he hid away.
It's buried near the garden gate.

Bhudda, Bhudda,
Bhudda lives in his own world.
Bhudda, Bhudda,
Right there next to the lawnmower.

Bhudda chases down the squirrels,
Bhudda barks at all the girls,
And Bhudda loves to lick the bowl.

Bhudda, Bhudda,
Bhudda lives in his own world.
Bhudda, Bhudda, Bhudda
Right there behind the lawnmower.

Bhudda jumps up on the bed,
And whines until you scratch his head.
He'd rather have my food instead..

Bhudda, Bhudda,
Bhudda he loves his master-
Bhudda, Bhuuda, Bhudda
He knows he can run faster-
Bhudda, Bhudda,
He brings us smiles and laughter,
Each day..

Bhudda mediates till dawn
On where he lost that stupid bone,
Bhudda sure loves it at home...
At home...

GIGLAND PROCLAMATION ( POETRY RAP )

Gigland is ruled by King Tin Ear and his Queen Anebria...

We,
the Subjects of Gigland, are seldom ever heard
over the incessant Clang of the Booze machines..

For some time now-
the Corporate Wizards have had all the drowsy clientele-
Completely under their spell...

The stages sit -
silent as the sun has caused us to retreat deep
into the bedding of dark coffins...

But the night minstrels will rise
fully armed with an arsenal of ripping guitars,
whirling keyboards and pounding drums...

....all linked by the new soul
-of technology.

CASINO LOGIC ( A POEM )

Then,
a billion watts of sound will pour forth
onto the ears of it's numb patrons...

And the sensitive,
underpaid Troubadors of Gigland
will join in a rousing chorus-
an electric voice of Unity-
to protest against the silence of
desperate all-consuming night....

Look out granny-
here we come.

Has become as
mathematical a science
as any today....
The stakes are high
where millions of dollars
are concerned-
High stakes always demand the best minds,
For then- it is No Gamble
it simply takes money
to enslave the reluctant forces of mankind
to the ruination degree...
What Power.
