BLOCK PARTY TMRW. Jeannette PA,S 4th St near Clay.

 
I will be performing two original songs on the Baby Blue Kay guitar, then four more originals on the keyboards. The two acoustic guitar songs are like light and dark, 'Pleasures Of time' and 'My Heart Is In The Ground'. Here are the lyrics;

THE PLEASURES OF TIME;
Looking at the vistas of the morn,
Thinking of the day when I was born.
I looked like a monkey and I wailed like a horn.

(chorus)
All the pleasures Time brings,
All the pleasures Time brings,
all the pleasures of Time.

Dancing crazy, free and wild,
Looking at life like a child.
I look at you and you smiled.
(repeat chorus)

Dance, the next best thing to sex,
Spread your legs and stretch your necks.
Watch the cosmos genuflect.
(repeat chorus)

Beauty is the face of Time.
Look for beauty and you will find
someone who is fair and kind.
(repeat chorus)

If you did not win your fight,
Time will come and make it right.
Time will bring you love all night.
(repeat chorus twice)

MY HEART IS IN THE GROUND
Take the silver from the table tonight
and put a cork on the wine.
My heart is in the ground.

Take my shovel from the garden wall.
I believe it's going to rain.
And my heart is in the ground.

(chorus)
Tell al my critics and assassins of my name
They may freely slander with out fear of litigation.

She said I have a lot of nerve
and not another word.
And my heart is in the ground.

(instrumental verse of chorus)

So take my shadow from the factory wall
and put a cork on the wine.
My heart is in the ground.
My heart is in the ground.
My heart is in the ground.

  1. And the congregation chants:

    All the pleasures Time brings,
    All the pleasures Time brings,
    all the pleasures of Time.

  2. It could be done gospel style, but the way I do it now is real Pete Seeger style folksie.
