Looking Glass River (AMKC) lyrics (PD) Robert Louis Stevenson) Smooth it glides upon its travel, Here a wimple, there a gleam -- O the clean gravel! O the smooth stream! Sailing blossoms, silver fishes, Paven pools as clear as air -- How a child wishes To live down there! We can see our coloured faces Floating on the shaken pool Down in cool places, Dim and very cool; Till a wind or water wrinkle, Dipping marten, plumping trout, Spreads in a twinkle And blots all out. See the rings pursue each other; All below grows black as night, Just as if mother Had blown out the light! Patience, children, just a minute -- See the spreading circles die; The stream and all in it Will clear by-and-by.

The Men Who Looked Like (Susnara-Clinger) lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger & Dan Susnara The man who looked like Joey Bishop Well, he drinks too much and he pees in public And he picked the wrong guy, punched out his lights Who, he perceived, looked at his wife: The man who looked like Barney Fyfe The man who looked like Barney Don Knotts Well, he wears a suit when he drives a tractor And detectives watch his girlfriend nights She’s out late with scary military types Quote: Samo Hung and Wesley Snipes The man who looked like Ringo Starr He found a suitcase hidden in his car Well, he learned the truth about Peter Best Who wouldn’t sell his fate like all the rest He lost the fame, but he passed the test The man who looked like no one else He hid in an attic, but broadcast his self to the universe in a clever disguise He told the truth, but made it sound like lies Their minds rejected, but it showed in their eyes.

Ramon (Micky Saunders & Ken Clinger) I guess you never knew when I fly above the man in the crowd the lady wears those flashing eyes a feather touch is not allowed we haven’t heard a thing all day sitting in the back seat, I had a cup of tea a little gypsy gets around he had a berth, he got to sea heads across the sky they smile away, the butter pie is melting hands across the water boiling tea beneath the 3 legged fly Billy Budapest pajamas cats and kittens hypnotize bells are buzzing, bees are humming long haired lady’s big surprise I guess you never saw a friend of mine, well he did say let’s eat at home, we can’t be wrong the kettle’s on the boil a mile away hands across the water smiling butter pie and cup of tea heads across the sky, don’t let them tell you what you want to be my dog he got 3 legs down the street give your heart cause love is long and when we’re finished driving smile away and sing your song ram on

Remains (Jesters Longevity & KC) lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger I climb onto the table hearing birds sing in the trees flies are buzzing round she directs them to the door she pulls needles from the alcohol she dries them with clean gauze she says her guides will help her as they always have before she says my guides will help me our guides work in harmony meridians and energy experiences stored relaxation comes sense of others in the room tune into their presence in a nonphysical way their dimension is dimensionless no sense of space nor time spirit without bound’ries but more real than night and day cold air passes over me I recognize the touch I cannot see the energy but instinct knows the way her voice recalls me back to my body and its world the guides will now reveal the spot obstructing memories twirling thin gold needles center forehead sacred eye golden needles stimulate the higher frequencies scar tissue is holding some traumatic psychic pain memories begin to come across the centuries conflicts with authority broken hearted loss promises that were not kept passions cool then cease responsibilities create resentment and dismay confused misunderstanding distrust grows by degrees but deep and far beyond it all remains the heart of love unresolved experiences cloud the core of peace her voice again recalls me to my body and its world energized contentment vivid memories remain removing golden needles from my forehead’s sacred eye she says relax and choose some mem’ries easy to retain in spite of all this vividness it slowly fades away the physical obscures your inner worlds your private gains I climb down from the table hearing birds sing in the trees I drift out thru the doorway tho part of me remains.

Without a Grain of Salt (Beeg Srahka & KC) lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger While you’re astray on Deep Space 9 with Rolodex control Shaggy manes on occupants confusing two lost souls Eleanor rides into love she gives the same old line wanders into training charts their authors’ tongues were tied Mercury responds to guilt It’s thorough to a fault no reason to apologize without a grain of salt I’m really sorry you’ve been fed without the proper cream the catalog neglects the eggs to save the cost of steam Filled with Perry Como’s songs we know he couldn’t spell and so we translate lyrics yet know the lies they tell The two lost souls regain the field the label wonders why we entertain on treadmills and then reward with pie Eleanor, she shows regret it’s too late to be smart the flip side of her recipe meanders from the start You’re still astray on Deep Space 9 the cancellation shows but it’s too hard to flip the switch to something no one knows Mercury has dulled the pain with substances still banned But rubbing salt into the wound works better than with sand Now we find that you’ve attained a private vat of cream and had a dozen eggs preserved in coolness by the stream Perry Como takes a bow and thanks the two lost souls their garbled comprehension has let him take control

Fantasies in Rhyme (Mars Dark) lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger cities of the future sending messages in time colors reaching consciousness their fantasies in rhyme voices whisper secrets things are different than they seem I sense I’m going to lose myself drift off into a dream waking up to majesty the air is full of sound it echoes deep inside of me the future is unbound

Colors Blooming Thoughtlessly (Ken Clinger & Hal McGee) lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger the spiral becomes tighter narrowing its hold while the current becomes stronger too much to resist ahead there looms the vortex point too perfect to behold concentrated energy yet gentler than a kiss a surge from deep inside of me so beautiful with pain I lose a part of what I held too tightly to destroy but I can’t stand much more of this in spite of all the gain another surge, a wall collapse an all encompassed joy waking up, confusion reigns this won’t fit with that reorganize the dark & light choose grayness to fit in everything is now in place the inner diplomat but deep inside insisting voice refusing to give in a daydream interrupts the flow something like a kiss or colors blooming thoughtlessly within a field of gray the strange and wonderful return but shrouded in a mist a dream becomes a memory to slowly fade away
