The Huntridge Blues Song
Hello there kind sir or madam,
thank you for joining me tonight.
Or if it's the morning, thank you for coming so early.
Otherwise, thank you, none-the-less.
I have a story to tell you,
I must confess.
Oh, it's kind of a sad one.
but it's a true one.
And let me tell you
I'm not the bad one.
But I was walking down the street one day
with a guitar in my hand.
And my hair was quite long and my beard was grown out
and my hair was matted
because
well, that's how nature made it.
And I am not living in a nature like city.
I am living with buildings and lights and gambling machines
and things that just seem to crush upon my soul.
Yet I live here and I have my own control
I don't need them pressing my buttons
to hit gamble this and gamble that
cash out, cash in.
Let me tell you baby
I always win,
because I bet on myself.
And there's the background to the story,
and here I was walking down the street
with my guitar
and here I was
just being myself
in my own neighborhood,
and what do you know it?
I waited for the light to change
and I waited for the cars next to me to start moving
so I could travel with them
like my blockers if I was on a football field.
But I was not on a football field,
this was on a sidewalk.
And I was in the street walking
and I felt safe,
because I was watching
for my own safety,
and I was watching for the lights to change.
And I moved forward with the green light
and there was a police officer who saw this movement
and he decided to turn on his own lights.
They flashed upon me like rays of fire from hell.
And what did he do?
He said, "You sir, broke the law."
And I said, "How dare you? I did not break any law."
And you know what he did?
He pointed his finger at me and said, "Give me your social security number!"
What number might that be, my good friend, officer?
What number is secure, my good friend, officer?
And I refused because hey, that's just me.
And he put me in his handcuffs
and my son was crying
and my love was taking pictures.
And you know what?
All he could do was try to make me afraid of him.
That's the only thing he could do, was try.
And it did not work.
No it did not,
I was not afraid of him.
I was only saddened
by watching my tears of my son flow down his cheek
and they were my tears as well.

Stand the Fuck Up!

Stand the Fuck Up!
Why is it that I feel this aggression?
I think I need a new revolution
I can't change my world with observation
I need to jump in and get in action
Stand up
Get up
Words and phrases clutter up imagination
In this land of nuclear proliferation
mankind sits on the verge of his own destruction
yet the propaganda flows without interruption
Stand up
Get up
The mind is listed as an inner sanctum
So why shouldn't I fight to protect it?
The police sirens force their way in
What ever happened to the constitution?
Stand up
Get up

Barehanded Wave
I know sometimes it feels like I'm in a dream
yeah, yeah
somewhere in between
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
in between
there's no refuge from the wicked
'cause they're standing at my backdoor
my backdoor
my backdoor
my door
they're breaking through
what's a man supposed to do?
what do I comprehend when they're coming in?
in
in
what do I comprehend?
in
in my barehands
hands
my barehands

No Substitute
Ain't no substitute for you
there ain't no substitute
Try to fill that space
where you, where you left your hole
Let me tell you baby
that I want you more and more
I try to find something
just to hold my head on for a while
But what I found is...
There ain't no substitute for you
There ain't no substitute
Nothing can sub in your place
You've got that special taste
and let me tell you baby
I'll hold your place
There ain't no substitute for you
There ain't no substitute
Looking all around this room
trying to smell your smell
Trying to get a vision of you
just so I can tell you that...
There ain't no substitute for you
There ain't no substitute
Baby, when I'm lying in my bed
your face is running through my head
and I've got to give you a little kiss
cuz baby you're the one that I miss
There ain't no substitute for you
There ain't no substitute
Baby, your love is what I crave
And I tell you this and I'm gonna make it
gonna be a hard time but I'm gonna take it
cuz you are my One
Baby, your the One
and I am only here just for you too
cuz you know it's true
There ain't no substitute
There ain't no substitute for you
There ain't no substitute
