HOPELESS ROMANTICS (S.O.S)
Fairy tales
Are for little kids
Hopeless romantics
Who can't quite believe
That all we have
Is what's in sight
And if it's always dark
It will never be light
Would you believe
Through the darkest night
Somewhere the sun
still shines brightly
Sure to find its way somehow
To making tomorrow today
Captain Bottom-Line
Seems to always win
Throws fairy tale dreams
Overboard, into the sea
Well, hopeless romantics
Don't quit the fight
Though all seems dark
And feels far from the light
Would you believe
Through the darkest night
Somewhere the sun
still shines brightly
Sure to find its way somehow
To making tomorrow today
Lately, lately I've been dreaming
Maybe life is happily ever after
Lately, lately I've been dreaming
Maybe life is happily ever after
Would you believe
Through the darkest night
Somewhere the sun
still shines brightly
Sure to find its way somehow
To making tomorrow today

DON'T LOOK BACK
I think I recall, I was only two
But I'm sure that it's true
The new day was a chance to laugh once more
And only play was the purpose of the world
Now I want experience and influence
And prominence and dominance
I need this and all of that
Won’t you hear me say
Don't look back, let innocence go
If you stop and watch the show
You're much too slow
Don't look back, onward we go
We’re only tomorrow
Don't you know
The man in the moon waves me on
And the stars make a way for me
But the grown-up whispers in my ear
Open your eyes, it's only a dream
Now you want experience and influence
And prominence and dominance
You need this and all of that
Won’t you hear you say
Don't look back, let innocence go
If you stop and watch the show
You're much too slow
Don't look back, onward we go
We’re only tomorrow
Don't you know
We measure our lives
With facts and with figures
Don't look back, let innocence go
If you stop and watch the show
You're much too slow
Don't look back, onward we go
We’re only tomorrow
Don't you know

TWO-WHISKERS LAND
In Two-Whiskers Land
Everyman needs a moustache
Well-groomed and bright
Worthy of angel-light
In Two-Whiskers Land
The man’s measure is his moustache
Not what he knows
No, only what he shows
Everyman must understand
That every man is part of the plan
In Two-Whiskers Land
In Two-Whiskers Land
Don’t you know you need a moustache
To have a clue?
In fact, your neighbor has two
In Two-Whiskers Land
There’s a fancy new moustache
The latest and the greatest
Only way to pass the test
Everyman must understand
That every man is part of the plan
In Two-Whiskers Land
What becomes of us
When our whiskers fall apart
Can we give in to life?
What becomes of us
When our whiskers turn to dust
Let us give in to life

FURTHER
Stolen thrones claimed by us
Oh how we make such a fuss
We reap what we earn
The darkness seems so grim
Even our hope is growing dim
That the King will return
The call, the dawn
The sound of horse
The banner of the King
Invades, invades, invades, invades
(Going)
Further in, further up
To the rhythm of His heart
Further in, further up
(We're going, we're going)
Further in, further up
To the rhythm of His heart
Further in, further up
We’ll get ours, come what may
We’ve got a lot to say
Where there’s nothing at all
And our love has left a mark
Even our joy is growing dark
We delight in the Fall
The call, the dawn
The sound of horse
The banner of the King
Invades, invades, invades, invades
(Going)
Further in, further up
To the rhythm of His heart
Further in, further up
(We're going, we're going)
Further in, further up
To the rhythm of His heart
Further in, further up

In Spite of Ourselves

IN SPITE OF OURSELVES
Our life is surely growing older
While we're looking over our shoulders
At choices made and hearts we've broken
Battles lost and loves unspoken
What if we can be changed
What if we can be new
Can you and me
In spite of ourselves, a revolution be?
Just you and me
In spite of ourselves can a revolution be
Our end is surely drawing closer
But hope, you know, still springs eternal
Should we let go, giving grace to all
Perhaps this kindness will break our fall
What if we can be changed
What if we can be new
Can you and me
In spite of ourselves, a revolution be?
Just you and me
In spite of ourselves can a revolution be
What if we’re not on our own
What if we’re not over
Can you and me
In spite of ourselves, a revolution be?
Just you and me
In spite of ourselves can a revolution be

Somewhatodd Vancouver, British Columbia
Besides being complicated, reality, in my experience, is usually odd. It is not neat, not obvious, not what you expect...
The problem is not simple and the answer is not going to be simple either. -C.S. Lewis "Mere Christianity"
Looking for the real in the odd and the odd in the real.

Tripped-out, beat-heavy, strangely funky French psych that’s slinky and mysterious.
