I Love That Car

California
That Santa Anna Breeze is calling me
Back to the wine country
Where the rivers flow like chardonnay
And the music plays all day
You and I will be rolling
Down that gentle hillside
Watching the balloons rising
Over the Bristlecone Pines
California
California
She's the midnight moon that follows you home
Just to make sure you're OK
She's the gentle breeze blowing through your hair
When the Sun comes out to play
California
I remember lake Anza
Playing guitar down by the shore
Serenading the angels
Like an Island troubadour
The days were long and sunny then
But now the time has flown by
And I miss the pure inspiration
Of the California sky

Faithful Companion
When I have a need for conversation
Her voice helps me unwind
And I feel at ease as she reveals her special meaning
Listen as she gathers information
For a moment we leave it all behind
While the world outside our door is haplessly waiting
Faithful companion
Guide us through these days
Faithful companion
Take the wheel as our ship sets sail
Faithful companion
Sometimes very late in the darkness
She comes to me and takes control
And I’m overwhelmed by the love I feel
And I know there’s nothing in this world as real
Faithful companion
Guide us through these days
Faithful companion
Take the wheel as our ship sets sail
Faithful companion
Love Comes and Goes
Sun streams through my bedroom window
As I crush my cloud blue pillow
Like a mothers alarm clock
It just won't go away, it just won't go away
We're all on missions of our own
No time to stop and say hello
We're just falling aimlessly
Like leaves on their journey
To the frozen ground, not making a sound
Love comes and goes
Like a midnight Train
That takes you to the
Pleasure and the pain
Love comes and goes
It'll leave you weak
Like a heart attack
Love comes and goes
If only we could just look up
From our designer coffee cups
And find some eyes to look into
And listen to their truth
We're all on missions of our own
No time to stop and say hello
We're just falling aimlessly
Just like leaves on their journey
To the frozen ground
Not making a sound
We're all on missions of our own
No time to stop and say hello
We're just falling aimlessly
Like leaves on their journey
To the frozen ground, not making a sound
Love comes and goes
Like a midnight Train
That takes you to the
Pleasure and the pain
Love comes and goes
It'll leave you weak
Like a heart attack
Love comes and goes

Too Big To Fail
They have gone beyond their reach
Corporation's are now people
And money is now speech
There is no money for healthcare
'cause they gave it to the one percent

Framed
Annie Walsh was murdered at the age of fifty one
She was a Manchester factory worker.
Jack Butler arrested Margaret Brown's son
He claimed he was the perpetrator
His name was Bobby, he was just nineteen
He was jailed, October seventy seven
Justice Milmo, said he didn't believe
And told the jury it's a simple decision
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
They're sharing the proceeds of crime
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
And everyone is involved
Believe the detectives or believe Bobby Brown
That would be the jury's decision
Everyone discussed it, all over town
And it was a short deliberation
They convicted Bobby while his mother cried
He got life in Kirkham prison
Based on all Jack Butler's lies
And the jury's quick decision
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
They're sharing the proceeds of crime
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
And everyone is involved
Bobby was vindicated 2002
Thanks to solicitor, Robert Lizar
He never forgot the cry for truth
In the eyes of Bobby's mother
Now Annie Walsh's killer is still hiding
And it don't look likely he'll be found
But eventually the lord will find him
And he'll burn in hells fire for what he's done
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
They're sharing the proceeds of crime
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
And everyone is involved

The Absence of Applause
It's December in New York City
And the chief is on TV
He plays the audience like a fiddle
But he'll never convince me
I firmly believe he's on the wrong course
So please accept my apology
For the absence of applause
Oslo brings clear skies
As he strolls the boulevard
He'll be accepting his peace prize
With his wife and bodyguard
But outside the protest is full force
So please accept my apology
For the absence of applause
He would stop the war in a minute
If his children were on the line
But it's only collateral damage
When the casualties are yours or mine
He's got spit shined shoes
And he says he wants peace
But he ordered 30 thousand troops
And I see gloom on his face
He says they'll be fighting a worthy cause
So please accept my apology
For the absence of applause
Now somewhere in Afghanistan
Our enemy takes aim
A scream fills the air
As the bullet makes its claim
Another beautiful life is lost
So please accept my apology
For the absence of applause
He would stop the war in a minute
If his children were on the line
But it's only collateral damage
When the casualties are yours or mine
It's December in New York City
And the chief is on TV
He plays the audience like a fiddle
But he'll never convince me
I firmly believe he's on the wrong course
So please accept my apology
For the absence of applause
