Where's The Song In Me?
01:44
|
|||
How many places can we look for ourselves?
How many ages can we be?
Where is the song that we’re dyin’ to sing?
Oh Papa, where’s the song in me?
Where’s the song in me?
Where’s the song in me?
Oh Papa, where’s the song me?
Where’s the song in me?
Where’s the song in me?
I know I got a song in me.

Eric Francis Blue

Where in the world,
Where in the world is Eric?
Where in the world,
Where in the world is he?
Where in the world,
Where in the world is he...
Where is he?
Maybe lost in a song
That he can’t begin to sing
In starry night skies
Way out there may be Eric
Unless he skipped the light
To some other universe
Or maybe he’s here
Drifting somewhere on the sea...
On the wide-sea
Maybe lost in a song
That he can’t begin to sing
Deep inside of a song
Trying in his way to be free
But where in the world,
Where in the world is Eric?
Maybe lost in a song
That he can’t begin to sing

Age Of Reflection
03:14
|
|||
This is the age of reflection
Don’t you think it’s weird
How we got carried away by our own image
Without ever once really looking in the mirror?
This is the age of reflection
What you call curious years
Where no words can explain what can’t be explained
When your guts are the only thing that’s still pure
We’ve been on a ride
On a drunken boat in the night
And I know that something ain’t right
But at least I got you by my side
Right? Hmm.
This is the age of reflection
Upon looking glass oceans of fear
Watching the play of our inventions
They got you thirsty enough to swallow every tear
This is a call for intentions
Find your pole star, now take aim
No more looking back all you forth-steppers
From those latent unrealized baby-days
Oh, we’ve been on a ride
On a drunken boat in the night
But we’re all gonna meet up in the heart some day
For a big cosmic roll in the hay
Hey, hey
Oh!

All I Want Is Your Truth
04:10
|
|||
I drive a garbage truck for the world
And I’m filling up on all your dreams
Loading up on all that’s meaningful
Rejected visions hiding in your chest
Oh that’s exactly the kind of thing that I collect
Bathed in all the tears of your neglect
Ahh, I’m coming for you
Ahh, all I want is your truth
I drive a garbage truck for the world
The imaginary place of how things seem
And everybody’s living in some kind of dream
I’ll take your waste and build another world
Somewhere you may someday wanna live
A place where they want what you have to give
Ahh, I’m coming for you
Ahh, I’m coming for you
Ahh, all I want is your truth
Ahh, all I want is your truth now
Ahh, all I want is your truth
Ahh, all I want is your truth

Rock 'n' Roll Is Free
05:09
|
|||
Seven and seven is twelve to a judge
They tried to put away rock n roll for as much
This town has lost its sense of fun
No wonder Iggy Pop is still on the run
So if you feel alone
You’re in good company
And all you need to know
Is in Roger Daltry’s scream
Because rock n roll is free
The Beatles wrote the book and love showed the way
How Mister Jones can’t live in no cage
The Rolling Stones are alive that should be enough
To secure a happy end for all of us
For us, for all of us
Put the love back in us
Put the fun back in us
Put the fire back in us
Put the us back in us
Put away your phone
And fall down on your knees
The collective soul
Cries out for a better dream
Well, rock n roll is free
Rock n roll is free
Now it’s time to move over
And let Syd Barrett take over
We’ll let him have his fun...
What is rock n roll, anyway, but an outburst of the high underground?
Like a wildfire burning away time
And it’s a truth that sets you free
But hey, enough of my yackin'
What do you say, let's boogie with James Lowe from the Electric Prunes
Her spirit bends the bars of every jail
Because her god given ass has never been for sale
She’s not for sale, not for sale
The wild animal is not for sale
But boy she can shake, rattle and roll
Those great balls of fire, hail hail
Hail rock n roll, hail hail
Hail rock n roll, hail hail
Hail rock n roll, hail hail
So if you feel alone
You’re in good company
With ten thousand girls
Who cannot wait to scream
Rock n roll is free
Rock n roll is free
And all the colored girls sing
Rock n roll is free

All was roses in the garden of times
Where days of heaven played like songs in my mind
Not everyone is welcome to dream on the stage
Where rejection is your punishment instead of fame
That’s how much I like cocaine
That’s how much I like cocaine
Angels falling in white parachutes
With nothing to fear but the skin of the truth
If you feel lost ‘cause no one knows your name
They’ll be happy to say rock n roll is to blame
That’s how much I like cocaine
That’s how much I like cocaine
That’s how much I like cocaine
That’s how much I like cocaine

Ripe Unknown
04:06
|
|||
The cosmic joke is the mystic seed
Absent crisis of identity
Welcome back reality
We are all we need already
Can you see?
The enchanted mind is opening
Under wisdom’s mighty tree
Between the buttons of majesty
All I really wanna feel
Is me
Take a trip inside of yourself into the ripe unknown
Where your thousand petaled lotus flower yearns to explode
And infinity’s children laugh themselves all the way home
Oh
Ho ho
Hee hee
Ha ha
The cosmic joke is the mystic seed
Knowing we are already free
Maybe that’s why the world looks so funny
And everything’s covered in a layer of honey
Can you taste it?
Because nobody knows anything
You better listen to your own heart sing
Listen up
Uh huh
Welcome to the ripe unknown
The ripe unknown
How does it feel?
Take a trip inside of yourself into the ripe unknown
Where your thousand petaled lotus flower yearns to explode
And infinity’s children laugh themselves all the way home
Take a trip inside of yourself into the ripe unknown
Where Infinity’s children laugh their pants all the way home
Tra la la la la la la la...

Green Light
04:30
|
|||
I clawed my way back to creation, through creation, any way I could
Begging for a song to sing, a song borrowed from the woods
Borrowed from the bird woods
The world does not come out and tell you that it exists
The green light comes from you
And now that I know I am building everything from inside out
I’m up from the underground
La la la la la
Tra la la la la
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
I was hiding from a man made mental construct
I must have thought they knew more than me and you
How could we have been so stupid?
Don’t approximate yourself to anyone else’s dream
The whole thing is you, when the love in you is true
It has never been any different, only you have opened your eyes
Now let it flow from inside
Tra la la la la
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Thank you for the song
So sorry I took so long
You don’t have to keep acting solid when everything is airborne
And moving constantly, moving through the starry sea
Step into the unknown doorway and wake up from everything
The green light comes from you
The green light comes from you
The green light comes from you
The green light comes from you...

First came the apples
First came the golden apples
But I refused to take a bite
So I took wing on a fancy flight
With bear claws and brown sugar porridge
Cheese Danish and jelly donuts
Washed around in sweet winter wine
The world is full of pleasures that would love to try you on for size
Heavy heavy heavy heavy breakfast experience
The day was young, and so was I
Go go Jimmy Lowe:
Clotted cream and fried scones
Cinnamon honey from across the pond
Marmalade and hollandaise
Baked beans and sausage bangs
Candied mushrooms of a colorful kind
Could it be this is all a voyage of the mind, by some strange design?
I was about to explode but that didn’t teach me how to read the signs
Oh, the signs...
Bacon fruit cakes, bubble and squeak
Hominy grits for weeks n weeks
Eggs sunny side everywhere
French toast and jam for a year
Pancakes, hot maple syrup
Strawberry and whipped cream waffles
Gravy smothered biscuits, home fries
I think we lost ourselves somewhere along the line
And maybe golden apples are the food of the wise
Oh, to be wise...
Heavy heavy heavy heavy breakfast experience
The day was young
I said the day was young, and so was I

Eternal Boy
04:21
|

Eternal boy, where you goin’?
Light steps stepping everywhere
Eternal boy, where you headin’?
Down creaking shoulders falling all your cares
All the wisdom in the tangles of your hair
With nothing but the promise that
Your hero ship will float upon our dreams
And save the world
Eternal boy, in your special way
Pure heart, your not like the rest
Eternal boy, ever born to play
Triple summersaults stealing every breath
Your laughter shakes and rattles with the best
Clown of the solid ground
Straight face in the race through thoroughfares
You’re upside down
Eternal boy shall be nameless
Light steps fleeing in the night
Eternal boy, through the ages
Draining every rainbow lily white
And blowing every chance for a real goodbye
Leaving nothing but the promise that
Your hero ship bestows a grand surprise
You never know with eternal boy
|

12. |
||||
What are the chances
Everything dances
To your tune
Bom bom bom...
Universal
Yellow lotus
Calm upon the sea
Now you're dead
Green grass
White whale
Mad Christmas in your head
Can't remember the rest
|

13. |

Draw it on your bedroom wall
Or tell it to your mum
Call upon your one true friend
But try to stay calm
‘Cause the best thing that’s happened
To you all day
Is that you haven’t had
A single thing to say
And that’s okay, that’s okay
That’s more than okay
(Keep it to yourself)
Tomorrow is always
A brand new day
But just remember
You don’t have to share everything
Write it in a poem
Paint it in a picture
Sing it in a song
Or go try to figure
‘Cause there’s nothing wrong
With keeping it personal
Some things are just like that
Not easily dispersible
And that’s okay, that’s okay
That’s more than okay
(Keep it to yourself)
Tomorrow is always
A brand new day
But just remember
You don’t have to share everything
You don’t have to share everything
You don’t have to share everything
A bit of mystery
Keeps things interesting
We need time to ruminate
To know our song before we sing
All things must pass
Through your soul at least once
Before they’re allowed to turn to gold
Instead of just more bologna to munch on
That’s okay, that’s okay
That’s more than okay
(Keep it to yourself )
Tomorrow is always
A brand new day
I said that’s okay, that’s okay (Hey!)
That’s more than okay (Okay!)
(Keep it for yourself)
Tomorrow will be
It’s very own kind of day
But just remember
You don’t have to share everything
You don’t have to share everything
You don’t have to share

Old World No Harm
04:55
|
|||
Held by a feeling now and then
That eases my anxiety
Like the soft warm glow of hearth and home
Where these curious words run free
I like crooked teeth
Even if they’re slightly yellowing
Like a Polaroid where Grammy’s eyes were closed
Although she’s forever smiling
With no sense of irony
I like low technology
Maybe it just looks pretty
I like when the machine breaks down
And it’s all up to me
Send a letter to a friend
Through US mail, it’ll get there early spring
Sure as jabbering information streams
Can never teach you how to sing
Do ti la sol fa mi re do
Oh, I like the old world
And the slow spin round the strange carousel
I like old things and old people
Let’s get ‘em back down off the shelf
No harm in the old world
They really only wanna wish us well
La la la la la la la
Everything changes, nothing dies
Eternity, your only friend
The new world, a kissing cousin
To which my heart will never completely bend
Leave that job to plastic intelligence
Emm...
Oh, I like the old world
And the slow spin round the strange carousel
I like old things and old people
Let’s get ‘em back down off the shelf
No harm in the old world
They really only wanna wish us well
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

Strange
Did you think I was strange?
You think I was strange?
Think I was strange?
Forgot about strange
Yeah

Yeah
Ooh, yeah...
I couldn’t arrange one single thought

Too Late To Be A Genius
04:38
|
|||
An arrow shot right through my dad
From my grandfathers to me
The spark, the gasp, the roar, the fire
Lights the family tree
But it’s too late
Much too late to be a genius
They said it's too late
All the best things have been said
So with my sweetest dreams hiding underground
Under the crush of humanity
I crammed my head with their familiar sounds
Spewing tales of deceit
But then a holy face
Emerging from that sea made me believe
There is nothing worth knowing
That isn’t worth knowing quietly
Because it’s too late
Way too late to be
It’s too late
Way, way late to be a genius
And it’s too late
Far too late to be a genius
It’s too late
One two four five three
How am I ever gonna sing my song?
And how many more hurts before we sing your song too?
Ahh...
As my last breath was disappearing
In their nervous fantasy
I exploded with a vision
And I was looking right at me
As I let go of all my beliefs
Then I plucked their deadly arrow from my side
Vowing never to repeat
It’s too late
Way too late to be a genius
It’s too late
Much too late to be
It’s too late
Way too late to be a genius
It’s too late
Far too late to be
It’s too late
Way too late to be a genius
It’s too late
Way way late la la

For You
02:57

I will be here for you
I will be here for you, for you
Just like you never asked me to
Still, I will be here for you
There may come a mysterious time
When your viewpoint shifts and you might find that you need someone
Someone who knows you
Well, I will be here for you
While it may seem like I disappeared
I’ve only ever been right over here thinking of you
And you can laugh in my face if you need to
Or if it excites you
Still, I will be here
I will be here
I will be here for you
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm
I will be here for you

Family Piano
08:36
|

The dreamers are bored
They can’t remember why
They ever left home
The place that accepted them
The place that also rejected them
And all this twists through their souls in a way
They can never really explain
It’s been their fuel for existence
And the wellspring of their pain
The heroes are tired
They’re looking for ways
Hmm, to get back home
Where they can play around again
Where they can make mistakes again
Where they can imagine a whole world
That doesn’t exist
And just like that,
Make up another one, and so on...
So come gather ‘round the family piano
There’s always room at the family piano
Come sing out of tune with the family piano
Because all mom n dad’s hopes and dreams
Still sway around the family piano
The successful are slipping
Down the slide of life
That’s how it goes
They did what they were told
Made sacrifices and worked real hard
Now they are working out
What success really means
And with mixed results they’re finding
Their way down the stream
Gently down the stream
The losers are angry
‘Cause they never had a chance
Hmm, to get things right
There’s so much in their past
That kept them from achieving their potential
Home life was a horror and no one
Took the time to understand them
Many suffered more abuse
Than you could ever imagine
Than you might take the time to imagine
Come gather round the family piano
Because there’s always room at the family piano
Come sing out of tune with the family piano
Because all mom n dad’s hopes and dreams
Still sway around
The family piano
Especially if you never had one
Or no one ever played it
We all wanna play around on it now
But only love can show us how
The wise are hungry
To apply their wisdom
Oh, to their past lives
They’ve come so far from that time
They’re eager for another chance to explain
All those follies and false starts,
Insincere pursuits and visions of fame
Because now they walk the earth without fear,
Without desire, and without shame
At least that’s what they say
I say come gather round the family piano
Because there’s always room at the family piano
Come sing out of tune with the family piano
Because all mom n dad’s hopes and dreams
Still sway around the family piano
And there’ll never be anything
That plays on you quite like the family piano
So everyone come gather round
Come gather round the family piano
Come gather round the family piano...

Creation doesn’t weigh in by the pound
But rather by the sound she makes through you
Do what you will to keep your heart clean
So your dreams can find their way to you
Creation doesn’t taste herself in the feast you make
Unless it’s truly made of you
Someday you will glimpse the love beyond your fears
Then your song will sing its way right through you
The world you can not see
Wants to be friends with the one you can
But the language that she uses is silence
A soft lullaby before we go
To say there is nothing you don’t already know
You may have just forgotten, that is all
But that won’t keep your song from knowing you through and through
The world you can not see
Wants to be friends with the one you can
Because the world you can not see
Has always been in love with the one you can
But the language that she uses is silence
But the language that she uses is silence
Silence is the mother of song
Silence is the mother of song
Silence is the mother of song
Silence is the mother of song...
