I didn't want to say it
But surely you can see it?
Tell me you are not so blind
She's a fighter
A vicious little biter
You ain't seen nothing like her
She is going to chew you up
Get out while you can!
Get out while you can!
Alex
Think about the future
You're just a plaything to her
Do you think she really cares?
She's a hunter
She's hiding undercover
Lining up to shoot you
Just because it's fun to her
Get out while you can!
Get out while you can!
Alex
Now don't you get offended
I won't watch you blow it
I can't let you screw this up
That girl is trouble
A bad idea all over
If you won't end it, I will
I can't watch her chew you up
I won't watch her chew you up

I’ve got an idea
we can point the car away from here
and hit the gas
leave our old lives in the past
and change our haircuts
you go dark and I’ll go blonde
and if anyone comes looking for us
we’ll keep moving on
the thrill
the heat
the thought of something new
no place
to stay
I haven’t thought this through
we’ll change identities
give ourselves new names
you be Barbara
and I’ll make do with James
we’ll split the driving
every hundred miles
and if we get pulled over
we’ve practiced our best smiles
the thrill
the heat
the thought of something new
no place
to stay
I haven’t thought this through
no jobs
no cash
nothing much to do
I’ll steal
I’ll fight
just to spend time with you
when we’re out of fuel
I guess we’ll have to walk
when we’re out of food
the I guess it’s time to talk
we’ve lives we can return to
we’ve got clothes we can unpack
I can take you out for dinner
if my job will take me back?
the thrill
the heat
the thought of something new
no place
to stay
I didn’t think this through
no jobs
no cash
nothing left to do
I’d steal
I’d fight
just to spend time with you

Feathers flutter and the leaves turn pale
You're the smoke that all the world inhales
Pretty ourobouros eating its tail
you're just too precious
White teeth and high-waisted jeans
Stage your sprawl outside a limousine
Perpetua's the perfect light to lay on the scene
you're just too precious
And in '88
You could have been a supermodel
Old school cool
On the page
Gracing the runway
of the cocaine age
And in '88
You could have been, you could have been
You could have been so great
Look for answers in the looking glass
Drink attention from a demitasse
Collect your thots for a trending pass
you're just too precious
And is it all worth it, my polythene pet
to pose in a rose-tinted tourniquet
calling to your followers from your minaret
you're just too precious
And in '88
You could have been a supermodel
Old school cool
On the page
Gracing the runway
of the cocaine age
And in '88
You could have been, you could have been
You could have been so great
don't look away
don't, don't, it's dark out there
don't go away
don't, don't, it's dark out there
don't look away
don't, don't, it's dark out there
don't go away
don't, don't, it's dark out there
don't look away
don't look away
don't look away
don't look away

So do you want it tough ?
Just when you had enough
So you choose to be
Anything to stop me
And do I want it tough ?
Let go and feel the rough
Why don’t you leave me
So you can be free
Ooo embarrassed eyes
Come and step on that pride
Calm the chattering mind
Close the box of imaginary fright
When you failed the first
You’re over the worst
It’s all you can do
See the light that shines above you
I want it more so see
Accept all that you can be
Get in the moody blues
Be the high by my side
Ooo embarrassed eyes
Come and step on that pride
Calm the chattering mind
Close the box of imaginary fright
Here’s to the good times baby
Who wants to live forever
Be here to see the sunset , everyday
Here’s your unwritten novel
Turn the page to see the trouble
Read between the lines and you’ll find
Life !!!

Morning jungle
Birds in the sky
Relish the green
Watch the world sigh
Anyway we’re all going to die
Push away the spider webs
Filling up your messy head
Brush away the dragonflies
That flitter around your vacant eyes
Morning in the forest
Stars have gone to rest
Clouds are filled with dreams
The things you got off your chest
Morning ocean
The waves have come to play
Dip your toes in the sand
What brought you to this sacred land
Drink up all the peace that’s there
Floating in the salty air

Unbreak My Heart
You
were never meant be the one
Ooh
I really should have run run run
The first time that you lied
The first time that you crept out late at night
The first tear in my eye
And how am supposed to find
A magic spell, a miracle
To unbreak my heart
Oh I, I can’t divine that secret rhyme
I need to find an angel now to
Unbreak my heart
Unbreak my heart
Unbreak my heart
Now
It’s time to make another meal for one
Ooh
Drown these thoughts in wine til daylight comes
That last vicious fight
The last time that I had the strength to cry
That last goodbye
And how am supposed to find
A magic spell, a miracle
To unbreak my heart
Oh I, I can’t divine that secret rhyme
I need to find an angel now to
Unbreak my heart
Unbreak my heart
Unbreak my heart

Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, shine my way
I’ve been sitting in the dark too long
I’ve been stuck here without much hope
A little light from you would help me cope
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, shine my way
I’ve been trapped inside my head too much
I’ve been stuck inside my loneliness
A little light from you would ease the mess
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, shine my way
(Please come sunshine!)
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, shine my way
It’s time to throw the shutters wide
It’s time to let the sun shine in
It’s time to break out from where I’ve been
Let it in
(c 2019 Alex Klages)

Race for the skies - Where my anger resides
Frustration - Where my reason is in need of translation
I don’t have the patience for this
You know your mind but you cannot resist
I have not got the will or the strength
To be a role model or be your good friend
You freeze your emotions, and left them hanging in the wind
You have no respect for your elders, or the wisdom that they defend
I don’t have the patience for this
You know your mind but you cannot resist
I have not got the will or the strength
To be a role model or be your good friend
(c 2019 Michael Szymanski)

BURIED IN A NATION
(Tell Me When It's Over)
Check, check
Check, check
1,2,1,2
(Does anyone here know what's going on?)
(I swear noone here knows what's going on)
(These people can't really be in charge?)
(Just tell me when it's over)
(I can't watch anymore)
Heavy are my stars
(Always)
Heavy in my heart
Like an undertow
Every word you speak
So outrageous
Everything you say
Is suicide
Buried in the lies you tell
You think that everything's fine...
Hope we'll survive
(One day at a time)
Perfect are the lies you tell in your mind
When you fall asleep
You better keep on praying really hard
To a God for your soul to keep
Can someone tell me
How am I supposed to breathe?
1,2,1,2
Check, check
Ohhh
'Cause I'm buried in a nation of men
That cannot understand the lives of all
Ohhh
And everyone is finding excuses
For glory and a hardened home
Be it small stars
Or be it greed
Here's hoping we can survive
Breaking through the light
Something too cold to catch this rhythm
When your skeletons come calling
Then will the truth be told?
Something too cold to catch this rhythm
When your skeletons come calling
Then will the truth be told?
Are you too proud
Too pure
Too real
To spend it?
(I can't watch anymore)
Are you too strong
Too cool
Too tough
To make it?
(Please, tell me when it's over)
Hey are you everyone?
Do you have a heart?
Am I the only one?
Check, check
Check, check
1,2,1,2
Check, check
(Does anyone here know what's going on?)
Check, check
Do you have a heart?
Am I the only one?

Somewhere over there, across the sea
There’s a man creating music continuously
It feel so close , yet so far away
I want to badger for more every day
It’s near the end but we’re not on the ropes
Can I find a place to sing , will neighbours cope
Daylight fills his life whilst I’m fast asleep
Tomorrow I'll sing it somewhere out at sea
Received
Relief in me
Feel
Conceal
Is it real ?
Acoustic dreams can be .......
Open your eyes then connections flow
I’ve never met this man but feel so close
I’m a Cooperider gazing across to see,
A man sat in his hammock sipping tea
There’s snow outside , so I’ll make some flames
And if it snowed in Thailand , he’d do the same
A world so small brings it home to me
At last we all can praise technology
Receive
Relief
In me (give the acoustic dreams to me )
Feel
Conceal
Is it real ?
Acoustic dreams can be
Ah American dream
Ah Asian dream
(Be here with me, then we shall see)
Ah continental team
(Be here with me, and you will see)
Musical dreams so sweet

Happy
Playing with my mom
Playing with my dad
Makes me feel so happy!
Sad
I wish I had someone to play with...
Excited
Cedar Point - Yay!!!!!!!!
Bored
It's snowing again? I'm so bored
Scared
It looks like a worm...
A really big worm...
...with scales? ...and a rattle?!?!!
Surprised
Going up the stairs at my house
Did you hear that?
Boo!
Angry
Don't push me!
Don't push me!
I'm mad!
Frustration
Look at my perfect LEGO helicopter
Oh no I dropped it!
Grrrrrr
Relaxation
Ahhhhhh.....
Optimism/Pessimism (note: minor/major switches)
😀 February Album Writing Month? It's the best time of the year! There's 28 days to write music! That's so COOL!!!
😞 14 songs in 28 days? You'll never get there. Your songs are going to suck, if you write anything at all. That's INSANE!!!

verse 1
I’m in this to fight
I’m in this to fight
I’m in this to fight
Put your fists up
I’m in this tonight
I’m in this tonight
I’m in this tonight
so put your fists up
prechorus
you can’t hold me down
you can’t take my crown
chorus
sting like a butterfly
float like a bee
in and out of history
feel the fury of my potent attack
you better step off or you’ll be on our back
verse 1
I’lll step into the light
i’ll step into the light
i’ll step into the light
you better open your eyes
now you better decide
now you better decide
now you better decide
you better open your eyes
prechorus
you can’t hold me down
you can’t take my crown
chorus
sting like a butterfly
float like a bee
in and out of history
feel the fury of my potent attack
you better step off or you’ll be on our back

Batten down those hatches
ration out those cans
you’ve never looked so fondly
at the local handyman
pass out those wine reserves
it’s easier when you’re drunker
but what happens in the bunker
never stays in the bunker
keep your friends close
and your enemies warm
hearts are broken
in the calm after the storm
target locked in your sights
though still a little distant
but if you slip into something
a little less weather resistant
will you still be able
to meet each other’s eyes
when the school has been rebuilt
and the playing field has dried?
keep your friends close
and your enemies warm
hearts are broken
in the calm after the storm
we’ve all had a shock tonight
we’ve all had a drink
this is not Armageddon
we have come back from the brink
(c) Vom Vorton

They met with a cautious glance
Their meeting was a thing of chance
Fifty years since their last adieu
Back when they were twenty-two
(Chorus)
Two old men
Once young GI’s
Now with canes
And teary eyes
Is that still you
My old good friend
We have some time
Until the end
We had some fun, oh didn’t we
As we served the land of the free
It’s good to shake your hand once more
As we last did back in fifty-four
(Chorus)
Two old men
Once young GI’s
Now with canes
And teary eyes
Is that still you
My old good friend
We have some time
Until the end

A nice young man
Went down to a dance
Didn’t know dancing
But willing to chance
The junior high students
Lined up on the walls
Boys on one side
Facing girls oh so tall
The music began
The boys were not ready
Punching each other
And very unsteady
The girls tired of waiting
They danced with each other
No boy could be coaxed
Not even her brother
Chorus:
Such is the manner
Of junior high dancing
Unless things have changed
More waiting than prancing
At last the night
Was nearing its last
The boy got brave
Had to do something fast
The boy and the girl
Went out with the rest
She looked right over his head
He looked straight in her chest
Chorus:
Such is the manner
Of junior high dancing
Unless things have changed
More waiting than prancing

Long ago I took the lead
And opened the door
I drove
She took the lesser role
When we went out
I chose the place
Let her out
At the front door
Pulled out her chair
And hung up her coat
Told the server
What we would eat
Now she is always
Watching out for me
She drives and
Hands me my cane
And at dinners
She fixes my plate
And helps me to
My chair
The life we live
Is treasured still
But changed
Forevermore

A long way from half Moon Bay
Around the world halfway
He always kept the world at bay
He seemed to like it just that way
Froze impressions so they'd stay
An arm's length away
But then his armor fell away
He dropped the camera in the stream
He crossed the border, lost the frame
He dropped the camera in the stream
He is free and, free and strange
All the faces he'd portrayed
Turn to him, return his gaze
Unscripted and unmediated
Intense and untranslated
Senses flooding unabated
He notices he's afraid
Afraid and so alive
He dropped the camera in the stream
He crossed the border, lost the frame
He dropped the camera in the stream
He is free and, free and strange

V1
I don’t like you anymore
No I don’t like you anymore
You let me nothing to live for
You left me blue
I don’t like you anymore
V2
I don’t see you anymore
I don’t see you anymore
You left me nothing but heartache
Nothing but pain
So I don’t see you anymore
Non-Chorus 1
We used to be so close You were my dove
thought you were an angel sent from above
You never loved me as much, that is true
Every inch of the way, you needed a shove
V3
I don’t miss you anymore
Threw all your stuff out the door
I used to sleep with your shirt
When you left me so hurt
But I don’t miss you anymore
NC2
We used to be so close Then you changed
Once you showed your true self It was never the same
We used to be quite the pair, And then you flew
I never wanted much Maybe your name
V4
So I don’t need you anymore
No I don’t need you anymore
The game has been changed
I zeroed the scores
And I don’t need you anymore
