    It was an Internet Romance
    It was an internet romanceYou know what that means No chance She wanted me to Take off my pants And she would send me pictures She was gonna send me pictures Then she told me what She was gonna do to me Right there and then up On the bar stool I got a funny feeling Like I was gonna sneeze It was an online fling That lasted one week long And that's a long long time In cyber romparama land It was all about fingers And tongues and places Places that were gonna Make like funny faces We couldn't get enough Deadlines came and then Deadlines went But we were insatiable It was something to see The maddest of passion All without noise But the lonely twisted Clickety clack Clickety clack It was an internet romance And you know what that means No chance She wanted me to Take off my pants She was gonna send me pictures She was gonna send me pictures Clickety clack Clickety clack Clickety clack Clickety clack

    Me and my hotrod
    Leaving them all in the dustThere's no one who can keep up Me and my hotrod Racing around the track Taking the turns so tightly Rubbing the curb so lightly Leaving them all in the dust There's noone who can keep up They take a running start and jump But a wind whips up and blows Like a dust devil whipping around Nothing can pass through the ring Of thundering sound The wind shakes the windows The wind shakes the walls But nothing rattles Nothing falls Leaving them all in the dust There's no one who can keep up Taking the turns so tightly Rubbing the curb so lightly Me and my hotrod Racing around the track

    Hell heats up on the weekends
    Hell heats up on the weekends Hell heats up on the weekends On Monday morning all the little red devils Slink back to work in their prius' s and suv's Chafing in their business suits Submitting to the dominant paradigm It makes them burn Inside So come the weekend, they turn it all around The bossy's become the bossed The servants play Master And everyone has a real good time Until Monday, Monday morning When all the little red tails Come off, and the goatees Disappear. And America goes back to work again. It's submitting to the dominant paradigm Again my friend Whose got the nads to step outside And take a freath of bresh air Ahhhhhhh Hell heats up on the weekends You got to reserve your table For three, weeks in advance It's full of weekend succubi And the curious fawns What a funny sight to see Hiding in the darkness To escape the bright morning sun Hell heats up on the weekends

    the ballad of cc joe
    the ballad of cc joe born from the loins of lies and deceit who were they? they just met on the street the greed of her, intoxication from him the result, well, a bit more than a whim "a bastard, that is what you are" so they said to me "a trouble maker, you will never go far" so said while slapping my wrist in that nunnery ran away, joined our circus when I was in junior high got on the bus, made my way, I got by heads helping out, taking me under their wing tought me what I needed to know, what songs to sing a year or so passed, got into high school couldn't listen to all them rules quit again, hit the tour school was always such a bore finally got my GED Nuns said "you have to figure out what you will be" my retort: 'can't I just be me?' 'who I am, just little old, cc?' got into 'higher' education for half a term discovered there was more to learn from the road that tought me, the tours that tought me well never did need to listen to no school bell over the years, the time passed, made my life as fate would have it, found my wife she is the source of all joy, playing her fife with the right background music, never any strife we 'walk the earth' together hand in hand listening to tunes in our head; well, you know from which band... trying to do 'good' though maybe not always doing 'well' made our own standards, and we be happy as hell a tear in my eye, as I think on the past wonder how long this life will last? don't matter, I'll see you all in the next world I'll be there, holding hands with my gurl ( -;

    the phish is back in town
    the phish is back in townaha 311 riding around in his rover Now the dayglo frame shades are rolling around town With the backwards cap Is that still in? And double chained linked leash With the two hounds of hell On the other end What place did you come from, pilgrim that you need these scary beasts? Do you bring your own steel door with you? the phish is back in town It all starts out summer of love And ends up with fights in the park Which happens to be My front yard So here we go the phish is back in town Can the horse be far behind Will I have to lose battalions of friends Again? the phish is back in town But I am not wearing a frown All my old friends will Be back around Church St will look like Shakedown Street again Whatever you want Look for Lucy in the sky She's got diamonds Harry's hanging loose with his shoes On a rock And they carted that poetry reading guy off Yesterday For reading poetry again. the phish is back in town Let's do it a little better This time around You've all got kids and jobs now the phish is back in town

    In the Rain
    It is in the rainAnother metaphor for you and me You'll see You're not going anywhere But I'm already gone Left the building with Elvis Truckin on down to the store Gonna pick up a sheet of paper Then I'm gonna read me some more Alliteration, synopsis, allegory Thematic melodiousness You turned on a dime One too many times And lost yourself in the dust Love took care of me All the way through Can the same be said To be true of your lust. While you were Heaving and swaying To the sounds of the reaper I was reading the paper Wide asleep Now you are in the middle Of your membrane, eggshell All I have to do is whisper All you can do is yell But some one would have to be Listening. It is in the rain Falling outside both our doors One sounds sweet The other sounds like The end of time.

    Can't live with out you
    Love youWant you Need you There I said it It is out in the air Got to have you Can't live without you Don't even want to be around If you're not here It happened quick Now we're in the thick With no one at the helm We're set adrift Love you Want you Need you All the weak things You're not supposed to say Love you Want you need you Got to have you Can't live without you

    chant the Lords Prayer as stream of conscience.
    Don't deny the dying name, gathering its ever developing sense of closure.We can't be what we're not, arriving at a moment of objectivity. Upon the cornerstone, this foundation won't last For what once was evaporates through a protective depth. Reconcile the earth, chant the Lords Prayer as stream of conscience. Fade into clarity, certain beginnings appear in the hour I witness myself dying Anonymous silhouette, transcending intuitive mystery, eclipsed in loss of cover Distance seems silent amongst its delicate charade, alluding unto a presence guide. This will to live, will be a greatest attempt at faith and understanding. Anonymously simplified, tears reckon these memories of being. Sand in the ethereal hourglass is from Galilee, incense cleans the air from the alter Aeolian glide cast above, leave the window open until it rains. Exhausted seraphs hide where no one else knows. Witness this transfigurations beckoning to answer. Revealing where the inevitable can't hide seen through inactivity Hollow lock, empty key, cobweb clues, discovered, forgotten in the same instinct. The distance between thee inevitable infinite, eventual eternity. The once steadfast turns into ash. Museum of ancient secrets, a history in likeness of haunting interactions Timeless wait, tireless watch, drifting, resisting, falling where once they stood. All that dwells in the center of the glint radiance. Beautiful silence skilled with wisdom of ordinary acts of spirit. Simplest surrounding acknowledging transparency, ubiquity cloaked without indication Questioning a contrast of anomaly, voices attempting to answer. Here brightness, bequeaths its generous acceptance. Transpire with dignity, close the door, fade behind open windows. Empty spaces echo throughout the same shadow within after-shadow Neglected sigh, out of mind, unique reminders still too distant, again too far away. Primordial insight leaves our eyes a description of neutralism Complete our gathering, call and response, mercy, acceptance. Witness the wind, illuminative, be gone, remain here no more. Closer to attainment as we close our eyes.

8/11/08 I'm not one to attract attention But there's something I have to mention Some might think it's an invention We believe it's true That His Love is bigger than a cadillac When He tries to show us but we drive him back Forgive us for the faith we lack And lead us home to you Some might say there's another solution But Heaven is my evolution I've seen enough of sins pollution To last me many lives And so I'll try to hang around Endure all I have lost and found Fight for Love another round Each and every day

Wake up, dig it, get jiggy with itOut the door, and then spin it Don't look back, gotta go Find something to call your own It's a wide-open feeling, as you fly through the air It's a wide-open feeling, to release all your cares It's a wide-open feeling, this Love that we have It's a wide-open feeling, don't drive yourself mad Looking left, looking right Straight ahead is your green light Put the pedal, to the floor Ain't no stoppin anymore It's a wide-open feeling, as you blast off the pad It's a wide-open feeling, maybe the best that you've had It's a wide-open feeling, this freedom we know It's a wide-open feeling, to let yourself go Out in front, the view is clearer The past is in the rear-view mirror Speed of light, stopping time Till I cross the finish line It's a wide-open feeling, as you're building up speed It's a wide-open feeling, when there's nothin you need It's a wide-open feeling, if you know who you are It's a wide-open feeling, you can shine like a star

I look at the starsFloating in the sky I'm stuck in a rut And I wonder why I need a jack And I need a tow I need a miracle To get to the show Along came a maiden With love in her eyes And for me she stopped While I sat surprized And then she said May I give you a hand? I'd like to help I'm with the band And I can see You've been through enough Come on and take A shower of Love Clean up yourself And get with the plan Show us your heart We understand

The notes would fly from his fingers The drums beat loud and wild The memory still lingers Like the smile of a child Take me back to Terrapin Lets go to Shakedown Street I find myself rememberin' The times that were so sweet Let it shine on me forever I will never forget Just like a wild rushing river Haven't reached the sea yet...

That's what poetry, lyrics, music is, after all. A gift from one heart/soul to another. Thanks to all who share their gifts. Here's another one. Still rough, but it's getting there. Can't help but think about All that might have been If I'd been a better man If I'd been a better friend. Would we have let the lovelight die? Would we have let the heartache in? If I'd been a better man If I'd been a better friend Well, I should have been a better man I should have been a better friend And I never should have let you go The way I did in the end It's too late now for turning back Time has passed to try again Wish I'd been a better man Wish I'd been a better friend

I wrote this one about 10 years ago when I was caretaking a place for six years in a geodesic dome on 40 acres on the side of Mt. Shasta with the closest neighbor the Ski Park two miles away and the closest town six and while I was hiking, mt. biking, or, for six months of the year, snowshoeing to to town I would see a lot of log-truck drivers and I put myself in their shoes for this one. Well I'm ridin' in my big rig Haulin' logs for Champion I got two more runs, to do today Before I cash it in And yes I love the forest And I wouldn't hurt a bunny But when it comes to me or trees I'll damn sure take the money Big trees, keep on fallin' Load em' up, and let me go So I can do my haulin' And when it comes to quittin' time And the beer-man starts a-callin' I'll park my rig, shoot a rack And order up a tall one These hippies and those Greenpeace freaks Get on my bloody nerves Just sittin' on their haunches Screamin', we must save the earth! Well if they had their way they'd soon be screamin' They were wrong It's no fun using corncobs When you're sittin' on the john And I believe in workin' hard for my pay I got a wife to feed, and kids to educate Don't take away my job, and put me on the dole I need to be a workin' man, it keeps me in control I'm rollin' down Route 89 It's another sunny day Two cuties in their sports-car Just gave me a wave Soon I'm off the pavement Winding up a dusty road I pull into the landing and I Grab another load Big trees, keep on fallin' Load em' up, and let me go So I can do my haulin' When it comes to quittin' time And the beer-man starts a callin' I'll park my rig, shoot a rack And order up a tall one

When I was young, Things went so slow You know how things Can go But now that I'm old and gray It's good to be Friends of the family. Things they go so fast today There's nothing that will last Past these days Everything is gonna Pass away so fast now Yeah, it's good to be Friends of the family Always far, and never near There's something still stays Together Through all the winds of Destiny that blow Yeah it's good to be Friends of the family. When I was young, you know, Things went so slow But now that I'm old and grey It's good to be Friends Of the family. -enjoy, andy

Until all the heavens have gone awayUntil the oceans they do the same I'll hang around for you Just like I said I'd do For you You For you Until the oceans they turn to rain Until the heavens they do the same For you I'll hang around Up on this dirty ground For you You For you Until the mountains they call your name Until your pleasure, it turns to pain I'll be here for you Just like I said I'd do For you You For you Until the atoms they go their way Until the giants they have their say All you have to do is call my name And I'll be there to ease the pain For you You For you -schubert andy

Puddlehead and Puddin' TimeCame out west in '49 To the gold fields they would go A miracle, was theirs to know They left St. Louie, one fine day Early in the month of May Onto the plains, they made their way The children laughed, the horses neighed Into the wilderness they moved Past the Omaha and Sioux They crossed the Rockies, by South Pass God's creations, built to last They endured both sun and shower Stopped a while at Franklin's Tower Re-supplied, and with new power Nothing here could make them cower Then one day they came to see A village of Shoshone They hailed the chief, and made their rest Smoked the peace pipe, passed the test Broke out fiddle, and banjo Danced all night under moonglow Good friends they had come to know But now it was time to go One last stretch of barren waste Was staring them right in the face They prayed unto their Lord and Giver And made it to the Truckee River Now more mountains in their sight They crossed over the Range of Light To Sutter's Fort, they made their way And waited out the winter's rains Prospecting in the spring thaw They moved up a secluded draw And there beside a rushing stream They knew that they had found their dream Puddlehead and Puddin Time Six long months they worked the mine Broke their backs in heat and cold And dug up fify pounds of gold

What was that You used to say to me Things sure ain't What they used to be. Running crazy in the streets Living alone in between the sheets Was a struggle just to make it day-to-day Always looking for a better way. Never quite seen Anything come free No, things sure ain't what they used to be. Kids running crazy in the streets Night walker's dream, but they never sleep You talk so loud, but you look afraid Now it's time to sleep in the beds we made. So, well, come in to reality Still the same as it's always been And if you're still into the run around Well, everybody else long gone to ground. What was that You used to say to me Yeah things sure ain't What they used to be. -a

Hi folks, As the politicians continue their parties in this election season, I've written this little satirical rag to help us recover our righteous indignation and moral outrage over what these bozos have done to our country and world. Everyone can sing along: So, a one-a and a two-a: The Righteous Indignation Rag Welcome friends, how do you do Glad to see some of you pullin’ through Tell me now and tell me true Has this ol’ world been lyin’ to you Gather round and tip your hat The shadow man is the one in the black Got your name and number too Photographed in red, white and blue Blame it on the liberal pinko fags Do the righteous indignation rag You know, my god he don’t love the Jews The camel jockey ‘slamics too The Buddhists man can be such a bore Drop those atheists dead on the floor I know ‘cause Falwell told me so Now serving time way down below No air-conditioned fat cat limousine Just dinin’ on his sulfur and kerosene So be you straight or dressed in drag Do the righteous indignation rag Come on, boys, let’s join in the fight Through the gates of Hell we’ll be marchin’ tonight Dress you up in khaki and green A pocket bible and an M-16 You can fire on everything in sight God’ll sort ‘em out later tonight So jump onboard the war’s begun The new world order is a barrel of fun So wrap my ass up in the flag Do the righteous indignation rag They bomb my brain with EMP My guitar replies with its own remedy Dancin’ in the grass to keep me sane My mind goes a’ridin’ on the wind and the rain They call, “To arms!”, but I ignore Back myself right out of that door Locked forever, I’m gone, goodbye I got no mind for the idiot lies Time to split this scene’s a drag Do the righteous indignation rag Do the righteous indignation rag Do the righteous indignation rag… Peace, Byrd

I know it's been a long time And a long, long, lonely road. And I know that I hurt ya, babe And I just can't make that go. Baby, please don't make me Go through all this all alone It was hard enough before you left But now there's just no hope And if you're wondering why I called today I just called to say, Baby, I love you, and won't you please Come on home Baby won't you come on Won't you come on home. Baby won't you promise me You won't never, never go I know it's been a long road And you've come along, long way And I know that I hurt ya baby, And I just can't make that go away And if you're wondering Why I called today I just called to say Baby, I love you. and won't you please Come on home Baby won't you come on Baby won't you come on Baby won't you come on home.

Wakin' up this morning Drinkin' yesterday's coffee It's burnt tasting and bitter Just like the two of us. I think I'll let this morning Turn right into tomorrow I'm just gonna lean back And turn on the Jets Cause I got nothin' to add To this pile of words Just don't want to see you Turn your butter into swords So if you find me dreaming You might just leave me be Don't you know some stones Are better left unturned Sometimes it's better to Just walk on by Walk on by and Let sleeping dogs lie. Wakin' up this morning Drinkin' yesterdays coffee It's burnt tasting and bitter Just like the two of us I think I'll let this morning Turn right into tomorrow I'm just gonna lean back And turn on the jets.

No please don't go Just please stay We will pass our time away Inside the sunshine That we have stumbled Upon. Now that you're home Stay awhile Take a load off your bones, And let me say I don't ever want to see You go away. --- a thanks for the kind words, stuman and tl. i'm just trying to express a little intelligence, while i appear to be here. at any given moment, i'm gettin' way more than i'm givin', especially when it comes to dead.net. i enjoy trying to find my way around this vast virtual library architecture, and reading yer'all posties. love, andy ps i try to tiptoe in while you're all sleeping, and lay little poem-roses on your pillows, for when you awaken.

Just give me a reason to believe, And I'll go on, Wearing my heart out on my sleeve, I'll carry on, Just give me a reason to hope, And I'll go on, No matter how steep the slope, I'll carry on, I'll carry on. Just give me a piece of your heart, And I'll go on, Just a little piece of your heart, That I'll carry on. Just give me a reason to believe, And I'll go on, Wearing my heart out on my sleeve, I'll carry on, I'll carry on.

Just need a moment to clear my head,Straighten my spine, Allow my spirit to rise. One more time singing, one more time bringing Everything to life, in my mind. Just need a moment to clear my head Straighten my spine, Allow my spirit to shine. Telephone wires singing, trying to get higher Thinking that, there are no words Words. I'll have nothing to do with them Words. Won't be the same when I get through with them Just need a moment to clear my head Straighten my spine, Allow my spirit to rise. Bird on the wire singing. I have no idea, What was I thinking? That there are no words Words. Well, I'll have nothing to do with them Words. Won't be the same when I get through with them. Just need a moment to clear my head Straighten my spine. Allow my spirit to shine. Wind on the wire Singing. I have no idea, What are you thinking? Words Words. Well, I'll have nothing to do with them Words. Won't be the same when I get through with them Just need a moment to clear my head Straighten my spine. Allow my spirit to rise One more time singing, One more time bringing Everything to Life. In my mind. -a

I ain't got no place to call my own I ain't got no place, I'm all alone Ain't got no wife Stay out all night Cause I ain't got no life. But i'll tell you why These are the best Days of my life Cause I got you Lord, cause I got you. I'm losing hair I'm losing sleep I'm making promises I can't keep Time slips away To no one knows where If I think about it too much I get scared I ain't got no place to call my home I ain't got no place, I'm all alone Ain't got no wife Stay out all night Cause I ain't got no life. But I'll tell you why These are the best Days of my life, Cause I got you, Lord, cause I got you.

Why don't we close our eyesAnd fall into the future Just so we realize What we are shooting for Why don't we close our eyes And fall inside Into the world inside our mind It's all right, yeah, it's so nice So, don't you be unkind And I think you will find Everything is gonna be alright In good time So clap three times And you will know the answer It works everytime We believe Takes us right through The eye of the needle You can't use force To get inside. So, Why don't we close our eyes And fall into the future Just so we realize What we are shooting for Why don't we close our eyes And fall inside Into the world inside our mind It's allright, yeah, it's so nice So, don't you be unkind And I think you will find Everything is gonna be alright In good time. -a

What you gotIt's all you need You could have nothing And still be Singing in the breeze. Don't hold yourself down Spread your wings and fly Or just walk on into town And let those cars go by. Cause what you got It's all you need Head up into the hills And camp out in the trees. No one can keep you down Spread your wings and fly Or just kick on back And stare up at the sky. Cause what you got It's all you need You could have nothing And still be Singing in the breeze.
