Quintessence
Music
The vital impulse
The fifth classic element
The most perfect embodiment of consciousness and nature
I am a poet I am a musician
A part time magician full time adherent of the Tesla tradition
That evoked the no ego Quintessence out of the ether into existence
a quintessential sing along 50 song repertoire viva la resistance
No audience glare zero fanfare
An in depth analysis on the whys and wherefores of tortoises and hares
Detailing the sonic adventures of a space cadet on a perilous mission
That deals with the aftermath toxic fall out from a great war of attrition
In a 5 album set from just a position
Songs of desolation with nihilistic themes
The flaw of attraction broken down dreams
Cringing scenes selfish genes every rhythm of that virtuosity
Jukebox jive marital strife all points in between
Popular culture organised sound
Messed around with tempo beats and catchy maladies
In search of the profound
Went out to work each day to pay the bills both feet on the ground
Written from the ringside with laughs along the way
The underdog against the odds somehow made the grade
An act of God a Manichean play
A fluke a happy accident some may say
Zippa de do da serendipity day
For general amusement it includes Disney spells looney tunes
Extreme mood swings romantic interludes
And for lovesick individuals a different kind of blues
Tall stories morbid fascinations
Bad vibes good vibrations
The travelogue of a small cog
In an immense musical machination
An antidote some aural relief
A comfort blanket in an empty state of disbelief
To ward off the worst effects of
Chronic loneliness and compassion fatigue
An exit strategy for when your boat has sprung a leak
And you find yourself without a paddle whilst canoeing up shit creek
Orbiting the sun not having much fun
At 66,000 miles per hour as we speak
On the go music chorus and verse
The sublime the ridiculous the downright absurd
Mind over matter the use of will power
To overcome personal problems and spiritual dilemmas
Carl Stipetic awesome repertoire
Cubase in yer face Ziggy played guitar
Out of dark matter an existential noir
From edge of empire a muso’s account of the story thus far
Boney was a warrior Jean Francois
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Who are you not to shine in the light?
Rough justice soundtracks for life
A users guide on how to survive the rollercoaster ride
When the eternal universe attempts quantum suicide
Stand well back hold on tight
Just because you’re breathing it don’t mean that you’re alive
Zippa De Do Da Serendipity Day
Come alive
Ken Dodds dads dogs dead
You cant take it with you when you go
Fall in love
Show me how to love you
The times they are a changing
Don’t get any better than this
Perfect world
Making waves
Unique
Can’t get enough of this feeling
Come Alive
There were times
When all that I wanted to do
Was lay down and die
From all that I’ve ever known
It’s so hard to say goodbye
Come alive
All things bright and beautiful
When my garden grows
Feel that rhythm
Feel that soul
At number 5 Milton Drive
I’m watching the flowers burst into life
Amazed at the power to revitalise
You can believe me or open your eyes
Come alive
Every time I plant a seed
All things bright and beautiful
When my garden grows.
Ken Dodd’s Dad’s Dog’s Dead
Red lorry yellow lorry
Red lorry yellow lorry
Ken Dodd’s Dad’s Dog’s dead
At unit one Bar and Grill there’s a murder of crows
It’s in the heart of student land where anything goes
Dreams and aspirations expensive educations
The only thing that’s frowned upon is procrastination
Let’s all go mental
I get a little sentimental over you
Don’t care where you’re going
Don’t care where you’ve been
Why stay outside in the pale moonlight
When you can walk right in
If you’re feeling lonely don’t know where to look
You can always track us down we’re on Facebook
Let’s all go mental
I get a little sentimental over you
Dancing on the table boogie for a while
To seek permission is to seek denial
Going out in T Shirts summer all year long
Stagger back to Bedlam singing football songs
Let’s all go mental
I get a little sentimental over you
Red lorry yellow lorry
Red lorry yellow lorry
Ken Dodd’s Dad’s Dog’s dead
Rumble in the jungle
Islands in the stream
Just the distant echo
Of the hippy dream
You Can’t Take it With You When You Go
I can still remember the words of advice
Given to me when I was only a child
Everything has value everyone a price
And it makes perfect sense to share and share alike
You can’t take it with you when you go
Oranges and lemons, cranberries and limes
Mix them all together, we’ve got the best of times
Nectarines and tangerines and darling clementines
Pour for me another glass of your sunshine
You can’t take it with you when you go
The bare necessities and mother nature’s recipes
Are the only equities we need
We return as naked as the day we were born
No first class tickets for the journey home
You can’t take it with you when you go
I say its half empty you say it’s half full
I say it’s all to fragile you say it’s beautiful
Wherever there’s a fortune there’s free enterprise
Stand up dance if you’ve nothing to hide.
Fall in Love
There’s a zombie in my bed
I don’t dig the grateful dead
I’m not right in the head
Atlas shrugged right said Fred
Hope you fall in love with someone who
Falls in love with you
Don’t give up it’s ok to get mixed up
The DJ in here don’t do requests
It aint that kind of discotheque
Sending out and SOS from a state of helplessness
I don’t really dress the best and my haircut it looks a mess
Hope you fall in love with someone who
Falls in love with you
Open up and go feed buns to the ducks
Stay away from Virginia Plain
Say goodbye to Mary Jane
I’m not getting any younger
Sometimes I wonder how I keep from going under
Nothing much ado
There are better things to do than be seduced by the fairy tale
Of other people’s lives thinking they’re better off than you
Hope you fall in love with someone who
Falls in love with you
Stir it up and catch the raindrops in a cup
A day without dance is a wasted day
Show me how to love you
A lover’s kiss a state of bliss
Can you show me where love is
I want to feel a little tenderness
Patience is a virtue I no longer possess
Only a dreamer has the right
To while away the days and nights
Sleeping on a cloud
Falling from the heights
It’s too hot for crazy
Show me how to love you
Every day I want to hear the birds sing
I wanna feel I’m a part of this thing
Must I keep searching looking for signs
Or is there a place in your heart for mine
Only a dreamer has the right
To while away the days and nights
Sleeping on a cloud
Falling from the heights
It’s too hot for crazy
Can you teach me how to love you
Can you show me how to love you
The Times They are Changing
All the joy within me has burst into song
No need for words when love is strong
Two star signs together belong
No need to fear unrequited love
A grain of truth in a world of lies
From the depths of loneliness you heard my cries
Now I see the love light in your eyes
Every moment that I spend with you
I spend in paradise
We are changing
Because the times they are changing
Strip away the layers take me by the hand
I’ll try to be who I really am
And I promise to do all that I can
I’ll worship the ground you walk upon
If you’ll let me be your man
And when we wake up to a new tomorrow
No need to drown in a pool of sorrow
All those bad dreams we thought were real now seem hollow
Wherever your love leads me to I will follow
We are changing
Because the times they are changing
All the joy within me has burst into song
If I’m dreaming please don’t wake me
Let me believe that it’s true don’t you shake me
Able to face another day and what awaits me
From this deep sleep only your love can raise me
We are changing
Because the times they are changing.
Don’t Get Any Better Than This
If we can forgive and we choose to live
End the suffering end the prejudice
Tomb of memories I don’t want to exist
In a place like this where love don’t live anymore
Sail the seven seas kissing the breeze
I know your love can save me from all that is wrong
So I can believe again instead of cry cry crying
Two hearts beat as one let’s stay forever young
When we could hear the whispers
Of the stars amidst the roaring of the sun
Don’t get any better
Don’t get any better than this
Love is all there is
Don’t get any better than this
Took a fool like me to tell it how it is
One thing I know for sure
One truth we must endure
When all hope seems lost and faith no more
On the miracle mile too fragile to smile
Let’s wait here for a while and set the world to rights
Stay safe I know your love can save me from
All that is wrong so I can believe again
Instead of cry cry crying
Two hearts beat as one let’s stay forever young
When we could hear the whispers
Of the stars amidst the roaring of the sun
Don’t get any better
Don’t get any better than this
Love is all there is
Don’t get any better than this
Took a fool like me
To tell it how it is
Perfect World
Pretty woman walking down my street
Love you I love you
My heart skips a beat every time we meet
Cos I still love you
Everybody’s wanting the same thing
Everybody’s looking for something
Everybody’s singing the same song
We all need somebody to lean on
Somebody to dream on
I know the error of my ways I made mistakes
Turn them into perfect days I can change
I won’t run away this time I’m gonna stay
Please believe me when I say
My life falls apart when you go away
Cos I still love you
Everybody’s wanting the same thing
Everybody’s looking for something
Everybody’s singing the same song
We all need somebody to lean on
Somebody to dream on
In a perfect world nobody goes hungry
In a perfect world nobody is lonely
Everybody’s wanting the same thing
Everybody’s looking for something
Everybody’s singing the same song
We all need somebody to lean on
Somebody to dream on
Making Waves
We ain’t hurting nobody
We ain’t hurting no-one
Making waves
Never say never you and I go on forever
Wherever we go there’s gonna be a show
Because we are together right on time you arrive
Where have you been all my life
I need somebody to reflect the particles of light
Rainfall in the desert wash away the drought
Not all who wander through this world are lost to the sound
It’s just you and me splashing around
Making waves
We ain’t hurting no one
We ain’t hurting nobody
No diggety no doubt
I think we both know what love’s all about
What we have made poses no threat
Let’s remember how good it feels before we forget
For what we got don’t happen a lot
We owe it to each other to give it a shot
The only question we should ask ourselves
Is not why, but why not
A new kingdom in the sun If we build it they will come
We aren’t hurting nobody we ain’t hurting no one
It’s just you and me splashing around.
Unique
Some of you will serve some will dominate
Some will try destroy what others did create
You are the original you are what you eat
You are individual you are unique
Nobody like you
Some of you are wretched
Some of you are chic
Some are maniacs some turn the other cheek
You are what you think you are what you speak
There’s only one of you
You are unique
Nobody like you
You are unique
Can’t Get Enough of This Feeling
In silhouette we found each other
We made friends we became lovers
There’s so much about you that I yearn to discover
Seduce with words thinking big
Not afraid to take a risk destination off the wall
I’m starting to believe we can have it all
Can’t get enough of this feeling
Love at first sight in candlelight in the dark we met
From that first kiss my mind was set
In a moment of bliss that I won’t forget
How can it be coincidence if we both are feeling the same things
Dream of a future live not exist memories are made of this
Can’t get enough of this feeling
Feed my soul and fill my hunger
Love makes me feel younger
And with each passing day it grows a little bit stronger
You are the rhythm to my blues I’m dancing to your tune
Slow it down and bend the rules and turn it into something new
Can’t get enough of this feeling.
