SngTht Sun - The Pretender

Caught between the longing for love
And the struggle for the legal tenderjbrn
Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
And the junk man pounds his fender.
Where the veterans dream of the fight
Fast asleep at the traffic light
And the children solemnly wait
For the ice cream vendor
Out into the cool of the evening
Strolls the Pretender

OK, and you might look at this.


SngTht Sun - Calypso

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've taught us
The stories you tell

BkTht Tue - QBQ

Paraphrased from a book on the iPod.

Instead of attempting to place blame, or trying to cover your own rear end, ask the question behind the question.  Use the word "how" or "what", include the word "I", and conclude with an action (e.g., "What can I do to make the situation with the Big 3 better?" or "What can I get to help re-rail the train?").

SngTht Sun - Peaceful World

People know this world is a wreck
We're sick and tired of being politically correct
If I see through it now but I didn't at firstjcm ch
The hypocrites made it worse and worse
Lookin' down their noses at what people say
These are just words and words are okay
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way

Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
