hymn for lost wages

mp3

miss liberty, strong to save
who's given me an honest wage
who's bidden each recession deep
it's own appointed limits keep
O hear me when i cry to thee
for our lost provisions
and all the perils we
face as a union

mister lincoln, abraham
who would become the president
who's own fourteenth amendment
made law beliefs self-evident
O hear me when i cry to thee
of all our divisions
and these inequalities
we bear as a union

O citizens, free and brave
O immigrants on the restless waves
O aliens who shelter seek
O foriegn lands O hear me
O hear me when i cry to thee
of all our good intentions
and the possibilities
we share as a union

smile where the rainbow fell down

mp3

what's not clicking
did the stock ticker stop ticking
her tune
what's so unsettling
did our creditors remember our debts
are due

nothing but blue skies
blue skies from now on
with a smile where the rainbow fell down

we had a hunch
we should have known the dough it don't roll itself
--how true
and each adjustment
it's the sucker taking stock of himself
anew

nothing but blue skies
blue skies from now on
with a smile where the rainbow fell down

thy blind sky

mp3

i might peek through key holes
i might creep to you up close
i might peer through telescopes
that i might see you

in thy blind sky
shining with a
cataractous eye
whirling in the night
my how lovely a blight
i do love you

do you know me and if i were known
would you foresee things that i don't
or with empathy would you grow to see
that we're equals

for my clear sight
perceiving here
the manefested sky
circling my eyes
my how lovely a life
that i might see you

in thy blind sky
shining with your
cataractous eye
whirling in the night
my how lovely a blight
i do love you

i do love you

where are my boys

mp3

where are my boys
where are those ugly mutts i found
my dogs my pups my hounds
oh they've all grown old
and been put down

where are my boys
where can those homely boys be found
my lads my chaps my pals
oh the fell in love
they all moved out

ah ah ah

where is my wife
where is the love of my life my spouse my bride
oh she's right with me
she's at my side
oh she's right with me
she's at my side
