the juice in the sluice got loose
the stray cats became gay cats
and then they shot their pa's
wimmin started working
but first they burnt their bras
freud discovered dystrophy
and cancer of the throat
lord mountbatten drowned
and Jeff Buckley in their boats....
men stopped wearing hats
and dark long overcoats
we went all hippy
and got quite lippy
and rock and roll
became so droll
(jus kidding)
the sixties were so special
a formative generation
bob dylan sang his guts out
the sweetheart of the nation
america the new israel
her growing pangs so sore
became the leading figure
and the cause of every war
and every single person
from Kabul to Chaing Mai Town
wants to join the circus
and be a silly clown
oh, forgive me for my freedom
and forgive me for my words
but when ma spoke of JFK
she told me that the birds
were talking to her
and I jus got a little weird inside
America, my favourite place
gee....thanks for the ride.....
A & W root beer's got that tingly taste
A & W root beer's got that tingly taste
that tingly taste
that tingly taste.....

As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
A Brief History of the Mindless Drone
JC, he wore the black for me.
And down in Mississippi
As an enlistee
And then sometime
Around 1953
He got a gun.
He learned to run.
After his world went round
He said, My boys
Don’t take them guns to town.
Howard Zinn
One of the finest men,
I mean, hell, yeah
Can I get an A-men?
Used the GI Bill
Then taught
Guns ain’t such a thrill.
Zen and Zinn --
Oh, thank the lord
For real men.
Just when I thought
I had lost them again
In my ear Pirsig said,
It’s all in your head.
Korea and Chris,
I remember the dead.
And the one I like,
I mean, really, the most
Cause his ships are real
And don’t carry no ghosts
Is HC Westermann,
A man with a plan.
What’s in a name?
A man without shame.
A man who knew rightly,
Knew who to blame.
His sculptures, you see
Are like Noah’s fine ark
Real as can be,
more bite and less bark.
but memories...they eat me
I've seen it all before,...
bring it on cause I'm no victim.
