ODE TO THE INNER BITCH
VERSE:
I was always a good girl.
I did what I was told.
Never messed around with boys
I couldn’t be that bold.
Then one day I met a man
And thought my Prince had come,
But he would always stand me up
So I tried to change the bum.
No matter how hard I tried
And tried, he just wouldn’t switch
Then one lovely day I came
Upon my Inner Bitch.
CHORUS:
And my Inner Bitch said, “Stop!”
You’re trying to be too nice!
It’s time to call it quits
So here’s some good advice
You only need to let ‘em do it twice,
The first time…..and the last time.
VERSE:
Now my Inner Bitch is strong,
But she’s not lookin’ to be the boss.
She stands up on her own two feet
And won’t seek another’s loss.
She won’t try to change yo,
But she won’t be pushed around.
If something isn’t working
She just gets right out of town.
So on that lovely day I learned
To change what was a glitch.
No need to be mean, “I don’t think so!”
Is the mantra of the Bitch.
CHORUS
VERSE:
So now when I meet a person
Who can’t tell me when they’re mad
Who saves up all their anger
’Til they can’t help being real bad.
Or I meet somebody
who tries to get me to do
Exactly what they’d like
And doesn’t give me a single clue.
I don’t try to please ‘em
And I don’t give‘m “What for….”
Cuz my Inner Bitch has schooled me
And I know how to find the door.
CHORUS
BOOZE AND PILL BLUES
First you see there’s nothing
Nothing but booze and pills
Booze and pills they help you
To get 10,000 ills
Then you feel like dying
Feel like cutting off your head
Your head it is so heavy
You can’t get up out of bed.
You lay in bed all morning
Then you lay in bed all night
The bed it is a comfort
Everything else puts you uptight
You don’t want to see the flowers
You don’t want to see the sky
All you want is booze and pills
Most of all you want to die
And when these things come down
And they’re coming down on you
The Big Depression’s got you
But there’s something you can do
You can go down to the hospital
Go down if you can go
The pills they have are different
And you start thinking real slow.
When you’re in the hospital
You don’t know what could be worse
You need some help and comfort
But can’t tell who’s the nurse.
I need some help and comfort
I need to ease my pain
I feel like I’ve got nothing
It’s those booze and pill bottle blues again.
LOVE OF YOU
I thought if I locked up the love
You left behind you Dear
In some safe place removed from touch
Why, then some distant year
When it was merely something saved
Like clover in a book
Pressed dry by time -
It wouldn’t hurt
At all the day I took it out to reminisce alone
About your eyes, your smile
There’d be no pain to look at you
In retrospect a while.
But love won’t be confined, Dear One
At least not love of you -
It sing and beats and weeps its way
Through anything I do.
GONE
It was time for him to move along
We’d played together for so long
But I didn’t cry til he was gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
I didn’t cry til he was gone
The gifts life brings, they come and go
When they will we never know
But it was time for him to go
Go, go, go, go
It was time for him to go.
May he have joy and love and peace
May life’s sweet wonder never cease
But it was time for him to leave
Leave, leave, leave, leave
It was time for him to leave.
LOVING KINDNESS
VERSE:
Don’t know how two be a parent.
My folks were only human just like me,
But the really loved each other
And the sparks that flew between them you could see.
They did their best, they made mistakes
They were nowhere near to perfect, that is true
They built their home on loving kindness,
They were good to one another through and through
CHORUS:
Loving kindness spirals upwards
Taking everyone around it as it goes
It begins with people closest
And moves out into the whole world as it flows
It’s being good to those you love
And loving those you know
Build your homes on loving kindness
Heal the world kindly loving as you go
VERSE:
My home is built on loving kindness
It starts between my other one and me.
We care for one another
Even when it’s only problems that we see.
We do out best, we make mistakes
We are nowhere near to perfect that is true
But we are good to one another
To show the kids that love is what you do.
CHORUS:
VERSE:
Sometimes I get distracted
Thinking things are more important over there
That I need to do what’s right
To show the whole world how much I care.
Then I remember that the ones I touch
Are the ones right here at home
Loving kindness starts with me
Then travels outward like the ripples from a stone.
CHORUS:
BLUES IN ADVANCE
VERSE A:
Before I was born they told me there’d be blues comin’ my way
We can’t say when they’ll get you, it could be any old da
I said, “Sorry, I refuse. That doesn’t suit my plans
I choose to take my Blues in Advance.”
CHORUS:
In advance, in advance
I won’t be doin’ that disappointment dance
‘Stead of waitin’ for that shoe to drop
I’m in control right from the top
I choose to take my Blues in Advance.
VERSE B:
When I wake up I pray for a bad attitude
Cuz I know other people will always be rude
And I’m not gonna give ‘em the chance
I choose to take my Blues in Advance.
CHORUS:
VERSE A:
When I meet somebody who’s ready for romance
Who wants to be my partner in love’s ambivalent dance
I think, “Maybe it’ll work out.”
But don’t wanna take the chance
I choose to take my Blues in Advance.
CHORUS:
VERSE B:
There’s this guy who is hot and he’s funny and smart
But I know that he’ll only be breaking my heart
And I’’m not gonna give him the chance
I choose to take my Blues in Advance.
CHORUS:
VERSE A:
Some people might say that I’m losing taking all my Blues in Advance
They might even suggest I’m missing out on life’s uncertain dance.
I say, “Go ahead enjoy your pain, I’ll be the lucky one
You can be swamped in misery and I’ll just be here having fun.”
CHORUS:
MONDAY AGAIN
VERSE:
My days go ‘round and ‘round and ‘round
I must admit it’s go me down
I go to sleep and when I rise
The same old shit before my eyes
I could use a little fun day
Feels like every day is Monday
CHORUS:
Monday again
Next Monday
Third Monday
Almost Friday
Friday, Saturday
Almost Monday
Monday again.
VERSE:
These weeks I walk are all the same
I’m captive of this rat race game
There are no ifs, no ands, no buts
I’ve gotta decorate my rut
I pray that I can stand up brave
Until this rut becomes my grave.
CHORUS:
GOD’S HEART
VERSE:
Before the beginning god lived all alone
And the loneliness weighed on god’s heart like a stone
So god made the world of it’s own heavy heart
So god could taste life on earth, each and every sweet part.
CHORUS:
God loves us just the way we are.
God made each differently
But all are made of God’s own heart
So god the world may see.
VERSE:
God’s heart is expressed here in numberless ways.
Abundant diversity signals god’s praise.
We honor and thank her by loving each other
By knowing god is alive in each sister and brother.
CHORUS:
VERSE:
We are god’s hands and heart, we are god’s points of view.
It’s through us god lives in the deeds that we don
We’re here to draw nearer, god’s love to express
To be the way that god made us, each different, each blest.
CHORUS:
VERSE:
And so as you walk your path holding god’s heart
Remember to stand in the Truth, do your part.
We’re all original blessings, god’s spirit expressed
Our path is Peace, Grace, Abundance and all that is best.
CHORUS:
God loves us just the way we are.
God made each differently
But all are made of God’s own heart
So god the world may be.
