Wince Upon a Groovy
(lyrics by Dan Susnara & Ken Clinger
music and performance by Ken Clinger)
sitting in the park with my head in the clouds
I noticed blue sky for the first time
I began a groovy for what seemed to be months
tho I get confused how I got here
without arriving
on taxi or bobsled
and nary a pillow
to place under by head
and push 'round pretending
it's "Jaws" in the parlour
and it gets excitening
whenever there's lightning
sitting in a tree with my eyes to the sky
I noticed the clouds for the first time
the groovy continued for what feels to be years
and it seems I've always been here
without arriving
on zebra or saucer
and only daydreams
to float 'round my head
and drift 'round pretending
it's "Oz" in the attic
and I'm filled with wonder
whenever there's thunder

On My Own
(by Dave Gourd of u n c l e j i m)
I was walkin' - walkin' on my own
I was thinkin' - thinking -˜bout my home
If - I could make you happy
It - would make me make it snappy
And I - would be seeing you later
But now - It's see you later alligator.
I'm assumin' - you feel just like I do
I'm presumin' - that you and me are through
If - you change you mind now
Too late - -˜cos we'll never find how
We - could get back together
I do - has become never never.
Yes. I'm broken hearted now - that we are parted
But I don't know why - I can't seem to cry.
I feel cheated - the love we had is gone
Feel defeated - you've left me on my own
My - arms don't enfold you
Cos I - no longer want to hold you
And I - am telling you frankly
That I - don't want no hanky panky
I bin walkin' - bin walkin' on my own
I bin thinkin' - bin thinking bout my home
If - I could make you happy
It - would make me make it snappy
And I - would be seeing you later
But now - it's see you later alligator.
I'm assumin' - you feel just like I do
I'm presumin' - that you and me are through
Yes. I'm broken hearted now - that we are parted
But I don't know why - I can't seem to cry.
Yes. I'm broken hearted now - that we are parted
But I don't know why - I can't seem to cry.

Kafeja Muziko
(Café Music)
muziko per Ray Carmen, vortoj per Ken Clinger
(music by Ray Carmen, words by Ken Clinger)
Humpo iras en la kafejon.
(Humpo enters the café.)
Sidanta çe tablo en angulo estas Stella, kiun li esperis esti tie.
(Sitting at a table in a corner is Stella, whom he hoped would be there.)
Alirante la tablon, Humpo demandas: Çu mi sidu çi-tie?
(Approaching the table, Humpo asks: May I sit here?)
Stella rigardas Humpon interesigxe, esperante ke li povus senpezigi ßian enuon.
(Stella regards Humpo with interest, hoping he might relieve her bordom.)
Jes, sidu çi-tie, se vi povos diri al mi ion interesan, ßi respondas.
(Yes, sit here, if you can tell me something interesting, she answers.)
Humpo sidigxas kaj diras: vi estis en mia songxo anta¨nokte.
(Humpo sits down and says: you were in my dream last night.)
Vi rajdis en kaleßo kun porko, veturante apud amaso de aklamantaj pengvenoj. Vi amba¨ portas kronojn kaj fluantajn robojn.
(You were riding in a carriage next to a pig, driving by a crowd of cheering penguins. Both of you were wearing crowns and long flowing robes.)
Stella maltrankvilis a¨di tion. Gxis nun, ßia sekreta vivo kiel regxino de la Pork-Planedo estis nekonata al Teranoj.
(Stella became quite concerned upon hearing this. Up until now, her secret life as queen of the Hog Planet had been unknown to Earthlings.)
Nun tio ßajnis montri©i en iliaj son©oj, anka¨ la fakto ke Sxi kaj sxia edzo Porky la Kvara anta¨nelonge renversis la açan registaron de la proksima Pengven-Planedo.
(Now it was appearing in their dreams, as well as the fact that she and her husband Porky IV had recently overthrown the evil government of the nearby Penguin Planet).
Íi timis ke iliaj planoj por Ter-Planedo konatigxus tro frue.
(She feared their plans for Planet Earth might become known too soon.)

Dream (1996)
built on “Mouvement Quotidien” by Les Sourires Trompeurs
dream of sun beyond the clouds
dream of life beyond the sky’
dream of dreams beyond the mind
limits are gone, we’ve passed the test
we’re being granted all requests
whatever we envision
dream of colors past what we see
dream of music past what we hear
dream of love beyond our fears
it’s up to us to make it so
create our dreams, and let them grow
it just takes out decision
dream of life beyond the end
dream of giving till we transcend
dream of growing beyond division
deep inside, we’ve always known
experiences, we have sown
our endless living vision
dream of day combined with night
dream of sound combined with light
dream of union in division
dream ourselves beyond ourselves
dream our dreams beyond our means
dream beyond our dreams.

THE RITUAL OF RA
(lyrics by Greg Stomberg)
incense burned for lady sun,
stargazers cast into the one,
all of the stars say its been done
and you're all fools for not living for the sun,
rituals cast in symphonies,
themes caught in counter melodies
send the young down the open seas
the ritual of ra, goes on...
-*-
awaken in the morning,
feel the warmth of the naked sun,
give thanks to the glory within,
the ritual, the ritual of ra,
thin whisper of soul
bound for unconscious mind
cannot rest upon obstacles,
only rehabilitate the forces he finds
false memories forced into our minds
beauty and power built the stonehenge,
a spiritual clock to energize
our souls, to find and forever defend,
the gifts given to us so long ago,
-*-
floating away from familiar strangers
reveal ties that hold you to
your past, start breaking the silence
that rings round your ears
answers never come instantly
hopeless dreams caught in instant sanity,
speak of the darkness surrounding the light
think of the wonders, revealed by sight
ra lives in the sun,
energies evoked when the pyramids, were done,
rituals cast in symphonies,
themes caught in counter melodies
send the young down the open seas
the ritual of ra, goes on...

Candle Burns, Peace of Mind
I’m looking at a candle, burns a flame to meet the sky
I keep the candle laughing, I turn my face to cry
The safety pin returns my smile, I nod a brief hello
While you are building molecules, with your garden hose
My compass lasts forever, these things repressed inside
One feels it almost instantly, unless another's died
It's over, it's done, they’ve been meeting again
Just please please please, oh don't keep me from begin
I need to hear the colors red and blue, and whisper words
To fly all day and sing a tune, and not hear what I heard
To see all around me, and to take you by the hand
And lead you to a brand new world, that lately has been banned
We'll build things never built before, and do things never done
And just before it's over, it's really just begun

Calico Pie
by Edward Lear
Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
And they sang 'Tilly-loo!'
Till away they flew,--
And they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!
Calico Jam,
The little Fish swam,
Over the syllabub sea,
He took off his hat,
To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-Bat,--
But he never came back to me!
He never came back!
He never came back!
He never came back to me!
Calico Ban,
The little Mice ran,
To be ready in time for tea,
Flippity flup,
They drank it all up,
And danced in the cup,--
But they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!
Calico Drum,
The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
Over the ground,
Around and around,
With a hop and a bound,--
But they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!

"Shine (Wes & KC)"
(Wes Johnson & Ken Clinger )
lyrics by Ken Clinger
The thoughts inside your head
have gotten to the point of no return
it's time to
raise the peppermints from the dead
and meet the pixies in your flower bed
and give your dreams their
turn into your secret twin
and cast off all those doubts
about the laughing fountain you've seen within
that lovely fairy child's happy grin
that thrills you till you shout
We're made of golden sunlight
We're made of silver laughter
We're from beyond the darkness
smiling when your happy moments shine
The dreams beyond your mind
have risen to the height and strength you yearn
to live them
take the leap across the line
Now float until you reach cloud nine
and laugh with joy re-
turning with your secret twin
it's hide and seek without the waiting
let the fountain raise you high
renew your friendship with the sky
it's time for cele-
brating for no reason
everyboy wins a golden ring
for always
just remember that this is real
that when the clouds try to conceal
we're here and we sing
We're made of golden sunlight
We're made of silver laughter
We're from beyond the darkness
smiling when your happy moments shine
