YOU THINK YOU'RE IN LOVE
You think you're in love
Never felt like this before
You think you're in love
It feels strange, but you want more
You think you're in love
Don't know what's come over you
You think you're in love
But you know just what to do
Like a flash of lightning in the dark night
She's shown your path forward with a bright light
Senses reeling
Centre come undone
Got the feeling
She's the one
You think you're in love
Never felt like this before
You think you're in love
It feels strange, but you want more
You think you're in love
Don't know what's come over you
You think you're in love
And you know just what to do
Now you grasp ideals that romantic bards espoused
And understand the urges that once caused brave knights to joust
Sounds and colors clearer now you've found her
Feelings, flavors sharper when around her
Where's this adventure
Taking you? Don't know
Buckle up
And here you go
You think you're in love
Never felt like this before
You think you're in love
And it's mighty strange, for sure
You think you're in love
Don't know what's come over you
You think you're in love
And you know just what to do

THE WOODS ARE ON FIRE

THE WOODS ARE ON FIRE
On fire! All of the woods are on fire
On fire! You see how the woods are on fire
Trees burning up what a shame
The skies are alight with flame
Big fines if you use plastic straws
But if you loot, you're not breaking the law
Madness spoils the cities we knew
It's spreading across the countryside too
On fire! All of the woods are on fire
On fire! You see how the woods are on fire
Trees burning up what a shame
The skies are alight with flame
Don't fall for their "green plan", it's a ruse
The more laws they make, the more freedom we'll lose
It's not hypocrisy when buffoons
Dictate while we all dance to their tune
They're laughing as they set fires
Increasing power is their true aim
This chaos is just one part of their game
One thing a forest ranger soon learns
Dead and beetle-damaged acres need some controlled burns
They want us scared so that we'll demand
Order brought back with an iron hand
As their pawns and paid thugs riot some more
Arson is more than a metaphor
They're on fire! All of the woods are on fire
On fire! You see how the woods are on fire
Trees burning up what a shame
The skies are alight with flame
Fire fire fire fire fire fire
On fire

SUMMER MAGIC

SUMMER MAGIC
Feel the summer magic, feel the summer magic
Feel the summer magic and excitement in the air
When summer comes, love is everywhere
When the temperature begins to climb
Exhilaration rises too
The world seems full of possibilities
There isn't much that you can't do
On winter nights you wouldn't hit a soul
On Main Street with a bowling ball
In summer there is so much going on
And here we are, thick of it all
Feel the summer magic, feel the summer magic
Feel the summer magic and excitement in the air
When summer comes, love is everywhere
Where'd the ladies hide, those long grey months?
Maybe cooped up in a room
Now their beauty fills our eyes again
Loveliness once more in bloom
Girls who spent the winter as plain Jane
Now enchanting every boy
There goes Isabella queen of Spain
Helen, too, direct from Troy
Summer moonlight casts its spell
And romance starts to surge and swell
Summer puts the spring back in my step
Fun and new beginnings call
Days are at their longest, birds build nests
They won't fly South until the fall
Gloves and heavy jackets cast aside
With them, woe got up and went
Summer sunshine helps us all forget
The winter of our discontent
Feel the summer magic, feel the summer magic
Feel the summer magic and excitement in the air
When summer comes, love is everywhere

DO I KNOW YOU FROM TV

DO I KNOW YOU FROM TV
Do I know you, know you, know you from TV
Ever strolled down the sidewalk on a busy downtown day
Someone looks familiar, you say "hi", go on your way?
Two blocks or so later and you finally realise
That was no acquaintance, but a celeb you recognised
Do I know you from TV
'Cause you look like a superstar to me
Prime time's really where you ought to be
Do I know you, know you, know you from TV
You trend-setter, go-getter, I see it happen more and more
People stopping, asking where have they seen you before
Charisma and glamor and a style that's all your own
Ahead any further you would need your own time zone
Do I know you from TV
'Cause you look like a superstar to me
Prime time's really where you ought to be
Do I know you, know you, know you from TV
Our brains aren't really wired for distinguishing between
The faces of those met in person and those we've only seen on screen
Most cities and landscapes look much better from afar
People too, but not you. You're more lovely nearer that you are
You dazzle and sparkle, girl you thrill and make me laugh
Before you get too famous, may I have your autograph?
Do I know you from TV
'Cause you look like a superstar to me
Prime time's really where you ought to be
Do I know you, know you, know you from TV

TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM

TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM
Take one for the team, take one for the team
Short-term pain for long-term gain
Take one, you gotta take one
Take one for the team, take one for the team
Sometimes that's what you have got to do
Take one for the team
This formal bash might be the dumbest thing you've ever heard
How did you get roped in? Can't back out now, you gave your word
Since you did don't be a grouch but bear it with good grace
And your reward will be the smile upon your sweetheart's face
Take one for the team, take one for the team
Short-term pain for long-term gain
Take one, you gotta take one
Take one for the team, take one for the team
Sometimes that's what you have got to do
Take one for the team
It doesn't get much smaller than a team of only two
But if something is worth fighting for we know what we must do
Those times you disagree it's not always best to get your way
If doing so will make your darling sad and spoil her day
Let one hand wash the other, if you do this thing for her
She might return the favor next time, do what you prefer
Take one for the team, take one for the team
Short-term pain for long-term gain
Take one, you gotta take one
Take one for the team, take one for the team
Sometimes that's what you have got to do
Take one for the team

A VERY FUNNY THING
It's a funny thing, a funny thing, a very very funny thing
A funny thing, it's a very funny thing
It's a funny thing, a funny thing, a very very funny thing
A funny thing, it's a very funny thing
The more you say you have to teach
The less we want to learn it
The more your mob demands respect
The more you really need to earn it
CH
The more you push us all about
The less we want to move it
The more you say you're in the right
The more we want to see you prove it
CH
The more you shout to drown us out
The more we know you're in the wrong
If you cancel all who disagree
Your argument must not be strong
Masked marauders on the street
Thought police patrol online
To get folks bowing to your thugs
And be complicit in our own decline
The more glib slogans you recite
The more we will offend you
The more oppressive rules you make
The more we'll want to rise and end you

XENOGLOSSY

XENOGLOSSY
One reads about these people who
Wake up from surgery
Talking with the accent of some place that they have not been to
Even speaking languages they never previously knew
Families stunned by what they hear - xenoglossy
As unfamiliar words appear - xenoglossy
I know just how their friends must feel
When they encounter it
Someone who they love starts acting strange. It must seem quite unreal
You haven't been yourself at all. I'm really not sure how to deal
Always thought it was a myth - xenoglossy
But just who am I talking with? - xenoglossy
Paranormal vibe, are you a reincarnation
Recalled to life from some historic civilisation
Of obelisks and monoliths? - xenoglossy, xenoglossy
You've changed a lot since our first date - xenoglossy
You love the things you used to hate - xenoglossy
Each day I'm always learning more
Do you have multiple
Personalities which you had not revealed to me before?
What secrets do you still conceal, what might you also have in store?
Really puzzles me a lot - xenoglossy
Some things you'd rather know, some not - xenoglossy
All I thought I knew of you seems tinted and tainted
A stranger in the flesh with which I'm so well acquainted
This is no xenophobic thought - xenoglossy, xenoglossy

DRAMA MAGNET

DRAMA MAGNET
Drama magnet, pulling people in
Like a vortex when it starts to spin
If you play her game, never gonna win
Drama magnet, look what she attracts
Online profile says: likes to relax
Long walks on the beach? Doesn't fit the facts!
There is no smooth sailing
She'll always hit a squall
Even if you think you're only gonna head over to the mall
Someone at a store
Will cause her to get sore
And window shopping turns into a hair-pulling brawl
Drama magnet, there's no place to hide
Being with her requires taking sides
Calm and conflict will constantly collide
Why does she get so mad?
Why's she even care
If a certain friend of hers forgot to give her some likes and shares?
With vengeance in her eye
She'll let mean rumors fly
Trouble trails her every step you'll soon be aware
Drama magnet, her restraint failed to evolve
It's much better not to get involved
Walk past, don't meet her eye, there's your problem solved

DEFENDANT'S SONG
(WS Gilbert / Arthur Sullivan) arrangement by Arch Rockfeller
O gentlemen listen I pray, though I own that my heart has been ranging
Of nature the laws I obey for nature is constantly changing
The moon in her phases is found, the time and the wind and the weather
The months in succession come round and you don't find two Mondays together
Consider the moral I pray
Nor bring a young fellow to sorrow
Who loves this young lady today
And loves that young lady tomorrow
You cannot eat breakfast all day, nor is it the act of a sinner
When breakfast is taken away to turn his attention to dinner
It's not in the range of belief to look upon him as a glutton
Who, when he has tired of beef, determines to tackle the mutton
But this I am willing to say
If it will appease her sorrow
I'll marry this lady today
And I'll marry the other tomorrow

MY POWER NAME

MY POWER NAME
My power name, my power name
I'm asking you to only use my power name
My power name, my power name
The fortune teller told me it will bring me fame
It will make me stand out in every crowd
Ought to bless yourself, saying it out loud
My power name, my power name
My power name
My power name, my power name
I'm only going to answer to my power name
My power name, my power name
Refusal to comply would really be a shame
It will bring success that will blow your mind
Better get on board or be left behind
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name
Good omens flashing everywhere it's heard
Look to the sky and see my power bird
If I am crashing out and feeling "bleh"
Restores me to a higher plane of "yeah!"
My power name, my power name
Soon everyone you meet will know my power name
My power name, my power name
Helps me do good deeds about which poets will declaim
Use all capitals when you write it down
And when I am king you can try my crown
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name
My power name
It fends off harm, makes fortune favor me
If you find yours then you will surely see
World series rings and Oscar wins are great
But the White House and Mount Rushmore still await
My power name, my power name
I'm asking you to only use my power name
My power name, my power name
The fortune teller told me it would bring acclaim
There are those who scoff, I pay no heed to them
To cultivate good luck I rub my power gem
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name
My power name, my power name

ZEN MASTER

ZEN MASTER
With difficult people you spend all day
Holding your tongue from what you'd like to say
No point engaging. Don't let them vex you
Keep cool until you're sure:
I'm a zen master and you can be too
Maintain your composure and you will soon feel
The calm you once faked has in time become real
Keep on convincing yourself til it's true:
Won't let them get to me
'Cause I'm a zen master and you can be too
Yes maybe you once were a hotheaded ram
Now you can say that's no more who I am
The brief satisfaction of violence you knew
Did it help anyone?
Try: I'm a zen master and you can be too
Let kindliness grow now, and conflict decrease
If we want to see peace, we all have to be peace
To your boddhisattva vow you'll stay true
With compassion and love:
I'm a zen master and you can be too
I'm a zen master and you can be too
I'm a zen master and you can be too

MISS NUDE BRAMPTON
Dusk falls down on TorBram road, on go the neon lights
Parking lot is filling up, big contest is tonight
And whoever wins, you will always be
Miss Nude Brampton to me
Misti does the splits so well, her mama would be proud
Then Stormi with her hat and cane knows how to work the crowd
But whoever wins, you will always be
Miss Nude Brampton to me
Independence in Namibia we celebrate
That's what Miss Nude SWAPO dances to commemorate
Now you're up! Your freckled skin and red hair dazzle me
I think you must be Heaven-sent, and not from Sudbury
So whoever wins, you will always be
Miss Nude Brampton to me
"Put your hands together gentlemen" says our MC
"For this year's winner, talented and lovely Brandi B"
Are the judges off their heads? This outcome is absurd
The title should have gone to you. I'm at a loss for words
But whoever won, you will always be
Miss Nude Brampton to me
Should scandal tarnish her tiara, render her reign dead
As runner-up you'd take her place and wear it in her stead
Folks can't see the heart behind those acrobatic bends
You're like a mermaid hiding her mermaidness from her friends
But whoever won, you will always be
Miss Nude Brampton to me
You will always be
Miss Nude Brampton to me
Miss Nude Brampton to me
Miss Nude Brampton to me

CRY BULLY

CRY BULLY
You love to play God and there is no doubt
You can really dish it out
But if somebody you attack
Should decide that they'll fight back
Cry bully, cry bully cry
With crocodile tears you wail on TV
"Why are people mean to me?"
If any pushback comes your way
Is turnabout now not fair play?
Cry bully, cry bully cry
It happens each day in Silicon Valley
Probably much more than in Gasoline Alley
When you made the choice to enter the fray
You knew your foe would get a say
But you can't admit you went too far
A victim you proclaim you are
Cry bully, cry bully cry
The virtues you play-act prove to be so fake
When you are revealed as such a soft snowflake
You dox and incite, make the mob charge headlong
Then say the one you struck was wrong
To shift the blame is your dark art
Project the evil in your heart
Cry bully, cry bully cry

GLAD TO OBLIGE
The Lawren Harris on the wall
Was what I gravitated to
The McMichael docent said to me
That's what men almost always do
Women have their other faves
Paintings I need help to see
Show me what they mean to you
I'll tell you what stands out to me
Glad to oblige, glad to oblige
That's how we grow, exchanging energies
Balancing strength and flexibility
Yin and yang, too. Glad to oblige
How you move also draws me in
A new wing of life's gallery
A new arm of the galaxy
A new urge is compelling me
Your dancing puts some novel scales
In my hands that I've never played
An incentive that lets me push past
The blisters. It's a worthy trade
Glad to oblige, glad to oblige
When you dance what you want us to play
In this dialogue between Terpsichore
And Euterpe we're glad to oblige
The whole club's moving to the beat
Every foot tapping on the floor
The sound flows out into the street
Enticing more folks through the door
Glad to oblige, glad to oblige
Music takes us back to happy times
And when you move with us we all will create
A better future. Glad to oblige
Glad to oblige, glad to oblige
When you dance what you want us to play
In this dialogue between Terpsichore
And Euterpe we're glad to oblige
The whole club's moving to the beat
Every foot tapping on the floor
The sound flows out into the street
Enticing more folks through the door
