King Richard

Why then I do but dream on sovereignty
As one who stands upon a promontory
And spies the far off shore where he would tread
Wishing his foot were equal with his eye
He chides the sea that sunders him from thence
Saying to have his way he'll laid it dry
So do I, so do I, wish the crown (being so far off)
So do I, so do I, chide the means (that keeps me from it)
So do I, so do I, swear I'll cut the causes off
Flattering me with impossibilities
I said off with my brother Clarence, dead by the will of man
I said off with my brother Edward, dead by the grace of God
And off with his wretched children, dead by the cruel hand of fate
So do I, so do I, wish the crown (being so far off)
So do I, so do I, chide the means (that keeps me from it)
So do I, so do I, swear I'll cut the causes off
Flattering me with impossibilities
But soft -- here come my executioners
Will you now dispatch this thing?
We come to have the warrant
That we may be admitted
Where your brother's children live
I can smile and murder whilst I smile
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears
I'll drown more sailors than the mermaid shall
I'll slay more gazers than the basilisk
I'll deceive more slyly than Ulysses could
I'll even add colours to the chameleon
Can I do all this an cannot get a crown?
Tut -- were it farther off, I'll pluck it down
King Richard -- he once had a crown and now he's underground
King Richard -- he got himself a spot underneath a parking lot
King Richard -- he went to the field and now he's dead
King Richard -- knocked him from his horse and they cut him in the head
King Richard -- he just had to get rid of those snotty little kids
King Richard -- well he put them in the tower now look where he is

Lonely Birthday

Well it's just a lonely birthday
Just a lonely birthday
But hey, don't worry 'bout me
Cause it's just a lonely birthday (well it's been about one outta two)
A lonely birthday (isn't anything new 'cept the absence of you)
And I just can't help but missing you a bit today
And I just won't help but missing you a lot tonight
It's the first time in fourteen years
That your voice was nowhere to hear
And I just can't help it
I suppose I'll have to admit, that it's
Just a lonely birthday (just how it goes)
Just a lonely birthday (a little time to compose)
A lonely birthday
But hey don't worry bout me
It's just a lonely birthday (unravel the bows)
Just a lonely birthday (this bouquet is more a thorn than a rose)
I suppose that it shows
I guess I'm doing ok
But I just can't help but missing you a bit today
I guess I'm doing alright
But I just won't help but missing you a lot tonight
It's the first time in fourteen years
That your voice was nowhere to hear
An I just can't help it
Little maudlin I have to admit
But it's just a lonely birthday
They might think we're dumb and lonely
But they're wrong cause our love is strong (repeat)
Never never thought it'd be like this

Mild September

I remember well when we first met
The kindness of your smile
The bus it down the wrong way went
We chatted for awhile
The park that day was lush and green
A mild September afternoon
The prettiest I'd ever seen
I taught you a few chords
Before we walked you to your door
So little time, felt like so much more
That even now, with the days so far behind
You're always on my mind
The pictures that you send
I love the way you hold the cup
Your fingers and your smile
I really want to drink you up
Been thirsty for awhile
I keep your postcard on my desk
A gesture to remind, 'cause I've always had
A penchant for the maudlin-esque
You're always on my mind
And every time I see a pretty flower I think of you
And every time I waste away an hour it's with you on my mind
And every time I sing a pretty song it is for you
And every time I wait a bit too long I hope that you don't mind
And every time I feel I know for sure it is for you
But every time I'm feeling insecure it's with you on my mind
And every time I try to go to sleep I'll think of you
And every time I wake up you'll be all that I have on my mind
You're on my mind
All I can do
Is hope that I will someday see you again
And every time I wake up you'll be on my mind
And I won't find
An hour of rest until I've heard back from you
And every time I go to sleep I'll think of you
It's all I can do

Song for Risa

I met a girl one day
It was a happy day
I spent with Risa
I met a girl one day
She does bemuse me
Her voice is music
And now it's every day
I think of Risa
