----

There's a scar on my lip
One that you can't help but kiss
From when I was a kid
I got it like this
See I was three years old, maybe younger still
I crashed headlong into a window sill
And was surprised when I broke instead of it
That's the scar that's on my lip
That's what you're kissing when we kiss.

When you leave, you'll be fine.

When it gets real late
So late that it's not late anymore
And I'm alone, awake
Just creaking with the floors
I can ask the sun to let me sleep
Don't know what stake it holds in the hours I keep
Well I'll push it down
But these burning hands won't seem to do
All my efforts fall right through
The morning makes me think of you.

When you leave, you'll be fine.

But if we're talking about distractions
Everything is a distraction
Except when your blood flows
When your heart beats
And when your ribs rise
When your lungs breathe
If the earth moves
Where will you be
With what you love more
Where does that put me?

When you leave, you'll be fine.

Dandelion On My Sleeve is an original song by my old "band" The Ushers--an experimental psycho-delic folk rock fusion musical ensemble with manic depressive tendencies. Dandelion On My Sleeve was recorded in 1991 and appeared on our second project--Pandora's Jukebox--in 1993.

~~~~~~~

I had no cause to be awake
I was never asleep

seven angels passed me by
their curtains drawn
over their eyes

they looked at me
and wished the best
it wasn't easy
they needed to rest
but oh I wish I had
a dandelion on my sleeve

if I had a string of pearls
I would sink them in the sea
but alls I've gots this old dandelion
and it's so light
it just floats away

~~~~~~~

I had no cause to be afraid
the mermaids looked at me
they presumed me to be a man
but like the pearls
I'm ground into the sand

I went by with my simple mind
and my eyes tied with apron strings
cause they would eat me up in a second
if I didn't have
a dandelion on my sleeve

if I didn't have part of that dandelion
on my sleeve

The Aliens is an original song by my old "band" The Ushers--an experimental psycho-delic folk rock fusion musical ensemble with manic depressive tendencies. Unknown recording date--most likely 1994. I found this track on an old cassette work tape of songs we were working on for our third project. The project was never completed.

Dedicated in the memory of Walter Paul "Trip" Schwarz III.

Tell me.
Tell me about the spyders--
about the aliens.

Darting upward down.

They're still a mystery--
a mystery to us.

Do they know how to love?
Do they understand beauty?
Do they believe in god?

Do they want to take us silently in bed?
Of course they won't.

But my cat is missing one paw
and most of the hair on my head is gone--
and no one thinks anything's wrong.

Hello humans.
(?)Once(?)
We'll ride the spyders
to reach our new home
(?)to fulfill our destiny(?)
inside the Black Hole.

Tell me.
Tell me about the spyders--
about the aliens.

Darting upward down.

They're still a mystery--
a mystery to us.

Do they know how to love?
Do they understate beauty?
Do they believe in god?

This Spell is an original song by my old "band" The Ushers--an experimental psycho-delic folk rock fusion musical ensemble with manic depressive tendencies. This track is from the last time we all got together in the studio. The recording date is unknown but it was most likely sometime in 1994. Subsequently--off and on over a 10 year period--Dan and Sam tweaked it... to put it mildly. This Spell was also intended for our never completed third project.

Thanks to yaffle for the Earthquake clip.

I had absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics but I will post them once I transcribe them.

Here's a new original song (written, oh, two-ish weeks ago). Yes, I realize I lamely drink the last swig of my coffee before starting, but I was afraid it'd get cold by the end. Sorry.

And, I'm now on Facebook.

Here are the lyrics:


I'm getting used to the sound of me
All tripped up and fumbling
Picking words from that lovely stream
Of all the things that you mean to me
Cause it hurts
Oh it hurts to like you so much

How to thank the earth for you
The eyes the smile the wisdom too
You're all good things thrown into one
You put the flowers on my tongue that say
Yes I love you this way

And there's so much that I should tell you
And there's so much that you should see
So many "Keep out: heart bound" places
You belong in me

I'm getting used to the sound of you
Volleying back this feeling too
Tasting all the things I wished
Waiting in that lovely kiss with you
Where there's no hiding the truth

And how you treat me like a queen
Like when I said my eyes were swampy green
And I saw you smile and I heard you say
"If your eyes are swamps, they're the Everglades"
And that you love them that way.

Sometimes it's hard for me to tell you
What is harder still to hide
And so I hold tight stay trite and never let my heart decide

But despite my fear
I've got no way of stoppin'
The sound of you from breaking through
The static in my mind
And I just won't hear
Another word of caution
I know it's dangerous
To love like us
But I feel safe enough in the sound of you

I remember how it used to feel
To try to make indifference real
To weed out love so skillfully
That you would never get to see
The flag that you were sticking in my heart those days

I knew gravity would get to me
And I'd be yours eventually
But never dreamed it could be so sweet
Watching you just talk to me
At night, when the city lights were burning outside

Sometimes it's hard for me tell you
But I'll tell you
Cause I know you sympathize
When I hold tight, stay trite, and just can't let my heart decide

(Chorus)

Wrote this one about 3 years ago. Enjoy!

When the night is done
And when we greet the sun
You know there's no one
I'd rather see
Than you by me

I'd wear my poet suit
If it helped me steady you
Oh when you need me to
I'd soothe your mind

And with a lover's view
I'd write a song or two
That I would sing to you
A million times
If you asked me to

So come and rest your thoughts with me
Underneath the cypress tree
We can watch the moon and stars shine at their finest
Let the rest say what they may
I'm a mere heartbeat away
And you will always be the object of my kindness

You know it's not like me
To speak so forwardly
Straight to your core, I see
Straight to my mark

But you know exactly why
My spirit soars at night
You hear your voice inside
Inside my heart
Inside my heart

Chorus

Another song I wrote. Enjoy!

And, I'm now on Facebook.

So he tells me that you're the new girlfriend
As you're hanging all over his side
But be careful because he's my best friend
And I don't like that look in your eyes

I've been watching you change him to suit you
Don't think I don't know what you do
I know that you hate that he's close to me
And that I know him better than you
Well I know him better than you

Never ask him to choose because you'll lose
You're just some chick that he digs
We've been hurdling branches for so long
And already you're tripping on twigs

So go ahead bring him to Gina
And parties with all of your fools
As for all of the people that matter to him
We know that boy's too good for you

Now I don't want to fight but girl I know your type
I know it I know it so well
You treat him right or I'll swear on my life
That I'll have to put you through hell
I swear that I'll put you through hell

Now put away all of your ammo
I can see your hackles rise
I know you're afraid that I'll take him
It's been screaming at me through your eyes

So I'll say it again: he's my best friend
I've got someone of my own
But I won't sit back as you hurt him
So shape up or leave him alone

Chorus
La da etc.
Chorus
