I seem to be posting quite a bit tonight. Eh. These are some songs my father and I are working on do to us wanting to play together. Some are songs he wrote back in the day and I am helping him work them out while others are ones we are co-writting. They are all Irish tunes with a bit of rock, jazz/blues, and with my influences of regge, punk, funk, and poetic rhyme. Also a whole lot of Blarney! Also want to get my song writting back up and going again so tell me what you think.
It's The Devil In Me (Imagine a carnival-like droning from the accordian and no other instruments with this song)
O help me I think I'm falling
In_to_Hell_aga
My head is still a burnin' and I'm goin'
Round and round again (Chorus)
O help me I think I just fell in_to_Hell_aga
Now I know for sure thats its the devil in a me
(Chorus)
Well I had this offal dream
I couldn't even scream
I was too drunk to walk
I couldn't even talk
I could see stars that night
Must have been in a fight
If I could only see
It's the devil in me
I heard this knock at the door
Couldn't get up off the floor
There must be someone there
But sure I really don't care
Maybe they will go away
I'll start a brand new day
Thats what we all have said
It's the devil in me
(Chorus)
I'm going up and then comin' back down again
Moving round and round
Can't you see that I've found
Another sound and town
I feel really fine, twice more around
And I'm homeward bound
I still have those massive scars
From drinking in sleezy bars
I can still see those offal stars
The night I went to planet Mars
while driving some fancy cars
We thought were really ours
Know I now for sure it's
The devil in me
***This song is both a description of the life of an alchohalic musician as well as what life is like as a musician in general. Also it is my da's trophy for defeating his alchohalism. This is a final master peice and I don't care what people think Da and I did a fucking amazing job.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm Running Away (This is more of a fast paced fun song. Imagine a little kids nursery beat with a little guitar stumming)
I'm running away and never comming back again
I don't care if you never try to find me a (Chorus)
I'm running away and never comming back again
I don't care if you never come and look for me!
(Music starts playing)
Intruduction: (Using a little kids voice)
I don't like my school and everbody hates me. There's big fat Freddy and Little Jimmy. Homework to do every night and I get big F's from my teacher. I can't take it anymore! I think I'm gonna run away and never go to school!
(Chorus)
I have found a nice wee place and it's so warm and cheerful here
There's animals and clowns and thrills and people people riding elephants
Sure you can't see me I'm so happy playing away in this big tent
I sell my popcorn to the crowd and I'm never comming home!
(Chorus)
I am living in a bus with lots of little monkey friends
There's me and Gus and Franky's tusks and Babba chasing both of us
We do our tricks and fetch some sticks its so great I just can't wait
To do it all again and I'm never comming home!
(Chorus)
Here I am in a diffrent town with crowds of people running around
Our costume room has flying baloons were all such fools
There is no school I only wish that you could save me
Running away just doesn't pay I never want to roam again
I really don't want to stay
(Hold)"O Mammy I want to come home!"
***This was written one day while Da and I were thinking and talking about the sense of home and no matter how badly you want to leave, or how far you go. You will always want to come home. I thought explaining this from a little boys perspective would make it a good fun song let alone make the point well because everyone at one point or another when they were little wanted to run away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Puttin' On The Squeeeeeze (A party song with strong accordian background and a good didly guitar) Anytime it says 'me' you can change it out for 'it' or 'her' anytime, except in the chorus.
Come on and SQUEEEEZZE me
She say to me again and again and again
Please hold me nice and tight
I need to feel those fingers
Up and down from left to right
Come on now and SQUEEEEZZE me (Chorus)
She says until the morning light
Please hold me nice and tight
Were gonna keep playing this thing all night
Until we get it right!
(1)
You can sqeeze me in the ally
"" "" "" "" "" "" park
"" "" "" "" "" "" morning time
Or squeeze me after dark
You can take her to the beach
In her fancy leather case
Can damn near squeeze her keys
In any party place
(2)
Some nights she's very heavy
And some nights she's rather light
Some nights I can't even find the thing
She's the story of my life!
But when we're together now
On goes the lights
I push and pull
And scream and shout
Then everythings alright
(Chorus)
So welcome to Heaven here's your harp
And a nice guitar for you
But welcome to Hell
Fight your accordian
It will make you turn black and blue
It grabs you around the throat
Then it beats your back too
It feels so good when you git it on
It wants to be next to you
(4)
It pinches me in the legs
And it has ruined all my good clothes
It disturbs the neighbors
And the cat and wakes the dead lord knows
I have this fear that it will go in and never come out again
It makes me laugh and it makes me cry
It's my ACCORDIAN!!!!!
(5)
There's buttons here and buttons there
Buttons everywhere
What are they for I wonder
But nobody knows for sure
For me I honestly believe
That himself the Devil put them there
Just to confuse the hell out of me
It enought to make you swear!
1 again + Chorus that fades
***This is my first try at writting a song in a long time. Its to honor my fathers accordian that he has had since he was sixteen. Based off of all the stories he has told me about the crazy times they have had together I tried to write about what it is to play one, loving so much it makes your heart explode when you play it right to when you want to crush the damned thing.
This poem is a work in progress, which is why it is up here rather than in my house. Would love feedback.
Mesmerizing
The world seems maximizing
The people prophacizing
Wars pulverizing
Darkness emasculating
Men
With their power
Money
Weapons
And hungerious greed
Are terrifingly feminizing
I find this all mesmerizing
A passage from one of Salman Rushdie's books. Read it and really think about it. He is one of the most inciteful people on the planet. It will blow your mind if you understand it.
"For a long time I have believed...in a fourth function of Outsidedness - that in every generation there are a few souls, call them lucky or cursed, who are simply born not to belong, who come into the world semi-detached if you like, without strong affiliation with family or location or nation or race; that there may even be millions, billions of such souls as many non-belongers as belongers perhaps, that; in sum, the phenomenon may be as "natural" a manifestation of human nature as its opposite, but one that has been mostly frustrated, throughout human history, by lack of opportunity. And not only by that; for those who value stability, who fear transience, uncertainty, change, have erected a powerful system of stigmas and taboos against rootlessness; that disruptive, anti-social force, so that we mostly conform, we pretend to be motivated by loyalties and solidarities we do not really feel, we hide our secret identities beneath the false skins of those identities which bear the belongers' seal of approval. But the truth leaks out in our dreams; alone in our beds (because we are all alone at night, even if we do not sleep by ourselves), we soar, we fly, we flee. And in the waking dreams our societies permit, in our myths, our arts, our songs, we celebrate the non-belongers, the different ones, the outlaws, the freaks."
~~~Salman Rushdie~~~
Think about it!
I saw this thing on "Best of Craigslist" it is a REAL craigslist posting...its fucking hilarious!!!

Waltz
Step close
Step away
Step close
Step away
Triple one
Triple two
this waltz we do
Circles and circles
Step close
Feel the heat
Sweat
Love
Passion
Growth
Step away
Feel the wilt
Jealousy
Confusion
Dryness
Cold
Step close
Step away
Triple one
Triple two
Spinin' and wirlin'
Like we do
Around the floor
More and more
less and less
Lost
Then found
Crushed toes
Hightened spirits
Exausted bodies
As the music dies down
To the last slow song
Everyone looks aross the floor
and all I know
Is I love you
Fluttering Light
I'm burnt out
Lost
Tainted by self abuse
I've meandered the streets
I've seen it all
Shootings
Stabbings
Victimizations of all sorts
I've spent every moment
Making life better for others
Then one night
On a screen
I see a caretaker
Who has been through it
Lost that innocence
That I gave away for a thrill
Knows life for the giving
This little fluttering light
Small and blinding
Has made me see
See what I'm made of
What I will be
What I desire
Driven again
A fluttering light is all it took
A Firefly is all it is
Yet
I have found Humane Perfection
I will chase this Firefly
all night and day
Just to be reborn
Again
And again
And again....
~Patrick Nicholas "Simba" Commins
Exomatic Insomnia
With a single choice
Microscopic pins
An entire galaxy can change
With a single choice
Macroscopic bugs
A persons world can change
Under unexplained reasons
We humans have a gift
A special uniqueness
The ability of awareness
Awareness of the power of choice
More so
We control the awareness
And yet
Even though we all have this gift
Most wander the world
In a dream
Of stolid insomnia
~Patrick N. Commins
Well here I am, once again, watching the sunrise and set. Watching the cars drive by to work, then watching them come back. Sitting as the songs on birds die away, along with the rest of the existance of sound, leaving me alone till the day begins again. Most people don't wakingly exist during the hours of my waking dreams. I wish more people understood what this was like.
I'm moveing all of my poetry that was in my house to here....to save space I think is the reason.
This is one that is still kind of rough....but I like it so far.
Kennel Hound
I've wandered
Sauntered
Ran with my tail between my legs
I've grown
Been shown
And Thrown to the curb
People have owned me
Have fed me
Have pet me
I've been out on my own
All alone
Torn to bone
Teeth, claws, and paws
I've been beaten
Malnurished
And Abused
I've tried to be fostered
I was Locked in
No one pet me
No one fed me
No one played with me
Not even a ball
I've begged before
Those cold streets
Still make me shake
Now as you look into this cage
Cement floor
And my metal dish
Would you...please
Adopt me?
~Patrick Commins~
Yes, yes a few more songs by Flowbots.
Anne Braden
From the color of the faces in sunday's songs
To the hatred they raised all the youngsters on
Once upon a time in this country long ago
She knew there was something wrong
Because the song said yellow, red, black, and white
Everyone precious in the path of christ
But what about the daughter of the woman cleaning their house
Wasnt she a child they were singing about
And if jesus loves us black or white skin
Why didn't her white mother invite them in?
When did it become a room for no blacks to step in?
How did she already know not to ask the question
Left lasting impressions
Adolescence's comforts gone
She never thought things would ever change
But she always knew there was something wrong
She always knew there was something wrong
Years later she found herself mississippi-bo
To help stop the legalized lynching
Of mr. willie mcgee
But they couldnt stop it
So they thought that theyd talk to the governor
About what happened
And say were tired of being used
As an excuse to kill black men
But the cops wouldnt let em past and
These women they struck em as uppity
So they hauled em all off to jail
And they called it protective custody
Then from her cell she heard her jailers
Grumbling about outsiders
And when she called him out
And said she was from the south they shouted
Why is a nice southern lady
Making trouble for the governor?
She said, i guess im not your type of lady
And i guess im not your type of southerner.
But before you call me traitor
Well its plainest just to say
I was a child in mississippi
But im ashamed of it today
Imagine the world that youre standing within
All of your neighbors and family and friends
How would you cope
Facing the fact
The flesh on your hand
Was tainted with sin
She faced it every day
People she saw on a regular basis
People she loved in several cases
People she knew were incredibly racist
It was painful
But she never stopped loving them
Never stopped calling their name
And she never stopped being a southern woman
And she never stopped calling for change
And she saw that her struggle
Was in the tradition
Of ancestors never aware of her
It continues today
The soul of a southerner
Born of the other america
We Are Winning
Rival gangsters sit down to plan an after-school program
A religious fanatic posts footage of an interfaith service project
A group of teenage boys watches a video of a father playing catch with his son
An adult film star paints thumbnail portraits of elderly couples, fully clothed and smiling
A record executive records a demo of his apology
A policeman makes reverse 911 calls instructing residents to take to the streets
A patriot reports for duty
She's wearing an orange jumpsuit and holding a picket sign
She's ashamed of her birthplace
But retreat is not an option
Women and children
Frontline
Logon
Tune in
Stand and be counted
Wounded
Stationed
In the belly of the vulture
Watch your back
Theres no civilians
Women children
Frontline
Listen
Consider this a distant early warning
The fires imminent
Pollution gathering dust particles
Funneling through smokestacks
Airwaves
Bandwidth
Disinformation tube fed
Check the label
Delete the virus
Alert the masses
Butterfly wing crosswinds send black hawks toward hurricane survivors
Roses sprout from empty lots and sidewalk cracks
Pacifist guerrillas move undetected through concrete jungles
New forms are beginning to take shape
Once-occupied minds are activating
People are waking up
The insurgency is alive and well
Rise of the flobots
Portrait of the new american insurgent
Rattle and shake the foundation of the world order
Assembly line consent
Resist
Refuse
Inform
Create
Direct loved ones to the trenches
Suit up
Forge rubble into fortresses
Plaster
Cloth
Aluminum
Broken porcelain
Rusted platinum
Burn bloodstains from decompressed diamonds
Hammer the battlecry into braille-studde
We are building up a new world
Do not sit idly by
Do not remain neutral
Do not rely on this broadcast alone
We are only as strong as our signal
There is a war going on for your mind
If you are thinking you are winning
Resistance is victory
Defeat is impossible
Your weapons are already in hand
Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom
Fight with tools
Your fate and that of everyone you know depends on it
There's A War Going On For Your Mind
There's a war going on for your mind
Media mavens mount surgical strikes from trapper keeper collages and online magazine racks
Cover girl cutouts throw up pop-up ads
Infecting victims with silicone shrapnel
Worldwide passenger pigeons deploy paratroopers
Now it's raining pornography
Lovers take shelter
Post-productio
They construct ransom letters from biblical passages and bleed mascara into holy water supplies
There's a war going on for your mind
Industry insiders slang test tube babies to corporate crackheads
They flash logos and blast ghettos
Their embroidered neckties say "stop snitchin'"
Conscious rappers and whistleblowers get stitches made of acupuncture needles and marionette strings
There is a war going on for your mind
Professional wrestlers and vice presidents want you to believe them
The desert sky is their bluescreen
They superimpose explosions
They shout at you
"Pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain
Nor the craters beneath the draped flags
Those hoods are there for your protection
And meteors these days are the size of corpses
There's a war going on for your mind
We are the insurgents
Yes again more lyrics from the Flobots. I encourage their messege more and more every damn day.
Fight WIth Tools
echo echo one-nine
hear the call through fault lines
smoke signals old rhymes
shorted lights in store signs
spelled in a broken code
find that it is time to
breath build bend and refine you
we sky tenants
give it all but wont give up
radio soul antennas
radio to lift spirits
call sign commando
m.o. is independence
scream till the walls fall,
dissolve all the limits
occupied minds
unemployed skills
desolation
worn out
torn down
just for now thrill seekers
slanging
test tube babies in beakers
where gun blasts pump straight from the speakers
the system where the
poor get poorly paid
to hold the ladder
where the rich get ricocheted
into the stratosphere
and in between people are rushin' like vladimir
with metals to make their status clear
get us out of here
we need heroes
build them
don't put your fist up
fill them
with our hopes and our hearts and our hands
we're the architects of our last stand
there's a war going on for your mind
those who seek to occupy it will stop at nothing
the battlefield is everywhere
there is no sanctuary
there are no civilians
you have two choices
surrender or enlist
what kind of person are you
always the first to argue
or never down to stick your neck out
cause it hurts you far too much
to see your rep suffer
set you up a buffer
well neither is enough for us cut from a tougher brand of duct tape
the propaganda's stuck on us like sock pajamas
spread like a virus
through accepted thoughts and proper manners
but off the cameras
something's simmering across the land
about to bubble up
and knock the lids off of the pots and pans
we are non stop juggernauts
stomp ziggurats
spit manifestos
by terabytes and gigawatts
shock paradigms
give sense to a score
throw thoughts through the sky
activate twenty more
in these high and dry times
expectorate on dogma
pragmatic sycophants
divide and conquer
we build bridges offer
hard work and prosper
as hand made heroes brought to you by no sponsors
all free minds to the front
all free minds to the front
we call upon women
we call upon children
we call upon the handicapped
the infirmed
the week of heart
we need your courage
your dedication
your passion
your commitment
gather up your platinum
melt it down
gather up your gold
melt it down
gather up your bronze
your silver
your aluminum
melt it down
melt it down
melt it down
This song represents one of my core and most powrfull beliefs. This brings me out of every rut. It is written by the Flobots. Its about how ALL human beings, me, you, EVERYONE has INFINATE POTENTAL! I will be posting more of their lyrics soon. I will even probably join their orginization, Street Team.

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars

Look at me, look at me
Hands in the air like it's good to be
Alive, and I'm a famous rapper
Even when the paths're all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm proud to be an American"
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want cuz, look--
I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome
And I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone
Look at me, look at me
Just called to say that it's good to be
Alive
In such a small world
I'm all curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a livin off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four miles to the gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run the business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers, shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the system
I can do anything with no assistance
...'Cuz I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
And I can split the atom of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule
Look at me, look at me
Drivin' and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be alive and on top
My reach, is global
My tower, secure
My cause, is noble
My power, is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let them all die in exasperation
Have'em all healed from the lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em
And I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command because
I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars

5. Under any circumstances, Anthony Loja and Cory harvey (Paying the most rent) have final say in terms of this document and THE APARTMENT in general. Even over other "Residents"
6. This Constitution is a living document and is viable to change at any time, under the watch and power of the "Residents".
7. A list of "Residents" and their duties within and pertaining to THE APARTMENT, along with those of "Crew Members", will be posted on another document. This other document, titled "Roster", is also a living document and can be changed at anytime through the watch and power of the "Residents".
8. Only "Residents" have the power to give someone a title. A "Crew Member" with a title may suggest possible canidate(s) for an open title slot.
9. The only people who may hold a title are "Residents" and "Crew Members". "Fringe Members" are not capable of holding any title besides that of "Initiate"; which still must be given by the "Residents"
10. "Crew Members" and "Residents" must up hold their title and duties. If they disconitue their duties they can be removed from their title and post through the watch and power of the "Residents".
-Definitions-

2. "Resident"- A person who lives in THE APARTMENT and is somehow putting in effort/monetar

An "Initiate" has only the power to run basic errands for the "Crew Member" (if one) with the Title. Meanwhile if the Title holder whom the "Initiate" is under is a "Resident" they can do anything that all the "Residents" feel the "Initiate" can do.
5. "rules"- A governing statement that will be enfored by "Residents" and "Crew Members" as well as be respected by visitors to THE APARTMENT. A "Rule" is anything within the Constitution, Roster or anything that the "residents" post somehow. "Rules" must be clear and easily understood.
And finally Our Crew Roster. Which needs to be updated.
-Roster-
Key=
*=This title can be owned by multiple people
NOTE:Any "Resident" can hand off a title temporarily (Agreed upon time by the "Residents") to a, trusted, "Crew Member" whom the "Residents" approve capable. It is then, if something goes wrong, both the "Resident"'s and the trusted "Crew Member"'s responibility. The "Resident" for bad leadership. The "Crew Member" for incompitence. If things go above par both will be praised. The "Resident" for good leadership and management. The "Crew Member" for competence (Possible re-crowning of Title).

I have decided to post my poetry and random thought up in this diary thing. All the diary is is a damn blog anyway.
I may even post my apartments Constitution here. I'm way to into and inspired by that thing.
Lookin' Round (May change title)
As the worlds spin
Twirlin' in their orbits
Wirlin' round their balls of gas
Swirlin' in their elequent dance
Lit only by strobe lights
We go amongst our fights
Blowing each other way
Each and every day
Leaders on giants shoulders
Like crushing flowers
Stealing candy from babies
Just to feed it to Hades
We go amongst our fights
Our day lit with bomb flare
Enough for Ghangis to have a scare
Up and down our planes soar
Much like the price of a whore
Enough to make the brothers cry to the core
Survival is loosing its lights
All of this and I'm still asked of God
Sodom and Gamorah
His cities of sins and ash
Are our cities of grins and cash
'Nough said
