60s Rock Stars
lyrics © 2014 by Ken Clinger
Peter’s in the basement
Mike is in the yard
Micky dreams of porpoises
While Davy rides a St. Bernard.
Mick surveys his wardrobe
Charlie bums a light
Keith remembers Brian, meanwhile
Bill suggests a pillow fight.
60s rock stars
Celebrities
60s rock stars
Just do as they please.
Jorma at the crossroads
Marty likes to paint
Paul and Jack make magic popcorn
Grace, she falls into a faint
Jack is spouting nonsense
Ginger tells a lie
Eric buys a box of choc’late
Eats it with his shepherd’s pie
60s rock stars
Celebrities
60s rock stars
Just do as they please.
Dennis at the ocean
Al and Bruce explore
Carl plays in Brian’s sandbox
Mike rejects the cornfield lore
Syd gets off the octopus
Nick reties his shoe
Roger flees the neighborhood
When David ignores Richard’s clue
60s rock stars
Celebrities
60s rock stars
Just do as they please.
Denny joins the Mugwumps
Cass hit by a pipe
John’s a vintage journeyman
Michelle slowly learns to type.
Ray does meditation
John beats out the time
Robby breaks his record player
Jim supplies perplexing rhyme.
60s rock stars
Celebrities
60s rock stars
Just do as they please.
John banks on the quarry
George, he learns to slide
Paul invests in scrambled eggs
Ringo cannot be denied
60s rock stars
Celebrities
60s rock stars
Just do as they please.
unused:
Barry has a birthday
Robin rents a throne
Maurice on an iceberg
making random calls on his phone

BOVINIA (The Bovinian National Anthem)
by Ellen Miz Ellen
Bossy Utopia, land of flowing milk,
This is Bovinia, untouched by human guilt,
We love Bovinia, her grassy spaces wide,
Peaceful Bovinia, there we shall abide.
Onward to Bovinia, come now to unite,
Bring the lamp of humor, change the dark to light.
Utter simplicity, is all she asks of thee,
Lovely Bovinia, the fairest and the free,
Live in Bovinia, a sense of the absurd,
shines in Bovinia, along with Bossy's word.
Onward to Bovinia, come now to unite,
Bring the lamp of humor, change the dark to light.
Bossy utopia, flows with milk and honey,
Mother Bovinia, source of all that's funny,
Weirdest Bovinia, we promise to be true
Never to be normal, Bovinia for you.
Onward to Bovinia, come now to unite
Bring the lamp of humor, change the dark to light.

Two Hands
lyrics by Ken Clinger ©2014
—*—
two hands touch in silence
two hands beyond the crowd
rendezvous, follow thru
uncertainty allowed
two hand inclination
two hands to pay the price
clarity, dexterity
permission once or twice
—*—
to linger
to borrow
to become one
today and
tomorrow
the midnight sun
searching the surface
until the knot has come undone
—*—
two hands without warning
reaching beyond the bend
willow tree, tranquility
meeting the silent friend
two hands join together
two hands sharing time
master key, guarantee
finding the hidden rhyme

Promises
Lyrics © 2007 by Ken Clinger
falling leaves and fading lights
winds from across the sea
clouds that hide the distant stars
prevailing minor key
summers passing into memory
sunshine into dream
fading into pastel colors
softening of promises
that mean more than they seem
autumn skies reveal their glow
released from summer's glare
tempered aspect view ascends
emerge in tempered air
contemplating lessons learned
evolving points of view
rising into subtle regions
re-exploring promises
in ways that can come true
arriving at a balance bearing
deeper harmony
shifting breezes, constant change
maintain stability
fall's arrival
prompting memories
lulled by summer dreams
awakening to new awareness
realizing promises
that give more than they seem

Goodbye to Christmas (version 2)
lyrics ©2006 Thelonious Octopus
Goodbye to the days I once believed
That you put gifts under my tree
Goodbye to the happy Christmas days
And to my blissful childlike ways
Goodbye Santa, reindeer and elves
And fairy tales we tell ourselves
Goodbye the days of play pretend
Those days have come to an end
(first chorus)
Goodbye
Goodbye make believe
Goodbye
Now I truly see
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goooood-byeeee
I find it odd we celebrate God
Coming to Earth in a frail bod
By spending money we can't afford
Just to get stuff we come to ignore
Goodbye, this Christmas is not the same
The illusion's gone and there is pain
All's not lost in the winter snow
My Christmas spirit will ever show
(chorus 2)
Goodbye
Goodbye make believe
Hello
Now I truly see
Hello
Joy inside of me
Helloooooooo

Pine Tree Symphony
Words and music by Wes Johnson
phxsongwriter@yahoo.com
Get off work on Friday and the car’s already packed
I’m headed down the highway, and I may not come back
For at least another week or two
Maybe more, you never can tell
I’m searching for a melody I heard long ago
It’s etched into my memory, playing soft, sweet, and slow
I’m headed to the mountains
Where I’ve got the best seat in the house
For a Pine Tree Symphony
The wind, it’s going to whisper softly to me
It’s blowing gently through the trees
And it’s music… it’s sweet, sweet music to my soul
I find the largest conifer in this forest stand
I lay down my body, and I spread out my hands
I gaze out in wonder
At this magical starry, starry night
Then I close my eyes, and I fade into a dream
I let the euphoria wash all over me
There’s nowhere else
I would rather be at this point in time
Than at a Pine Tree Symphony
The wind, it’s going to whisper softly to me
It’s blowing gently through the trees
And it’s music… it’s sweet, sweet music to my soul
When it’s time to leave, you know I just want to stay
Stay here forever in this forest hideaway
Someday I will
I know that it’s going to come true
So when I die, please lay my ashes to this ground
Let me blow into the wind and be part of the sound
And if you listen carefully,
I know you’re going to hear me singing
In this Pine Tree Symphony
The wind, it’s going to listen softly to me
It’s blowing gently through the trees
And it’s music… it’s sweet, sweet music to my soul

Not Enough
original poem by Charlie Newman © 2013
edited for lyrics by Ken Clinger
life is not enough
you are not enough
nothing is enough
one thing could be an other
but it is not
and it is not
resurrection
rejection
remorse
to night begins with the unexpected
in Bo Diddley streets with neck tie
amnesia
that never play noose
obsess laugh moan scream
blacken blue balance
millions of eyes rise
empty pant pocket
the lip stick road is a
cannibal dynamo
running consciousness
teasing facts wishing fun talking
blood and the war ain’t
even over yet
arms of love wither
to shards of ecstasies
I have ghostly conversations
with my self
not enough
not enough
life is not enough
keep it up, easily
strut the facts or lie
naked for an instant, remember:
principals
awakening
I shrink
residual halo
better days recalled
unforgotten people
never blink
valuing passionate display
erased books
deaf neglect
retro-neo-futurist
soft focus hocus pocus
bottled suffering
covert hiphop multinational
migraine propaganda
it’s not enough
not enough
