C’MON C’MON

I walk along the avenue
OK not really
But that’s how these songs start
I’m sitting at a computer
That’s not to say
I don’t suffer for my art
For the sake of argument
Let’s assume I’m walking anyway
Now I’ve gone and done it
I’ve forgotten
What I was gonna say
C’mon c’mon
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh baby baby
Hey hey
Let the sun shine on your life
(repeat)
Up and down
And round and round
Who cares if it’s not profound
Up and down
And round and round
My feet never touch the ground
Up and down
And round and round
Who cares if it’s not profound
Up and down
And round and round
People dig a happy sound
C’mon c’mon
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh baby baby
Hey hey
Let the sun shine on your life
(repeat)
C’mon c’mon
C’mon c’mon
C’mon c’mon
C’mon c’mon
I walk along the avenue
Another lie
But that’s how these songs end
My friend
C’mon c’mon
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh baby baby
Hey hey
Let the sun shine on your life
(repeat)

HUSH (DORITO DUST)
John Soeder
© 2009
Yo yo check my flow
This is how we do it in the 440
Yo yo check my flow
This is how we do in the 440
Hush little baby
Don’t day a word
Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Papa’s gonna buy you some bling
And if that bling ain’t good enough
Papa’s gonna buy you some other stuff
And if that stuff don’t make your day
Papa’s gonna sell it on eBay
Can you hear me?
Are you out there?
’Cause I’m sending out this song to you tonight
Can you hear me? (Can you hear me?)
Are you out there? (Are you out there?)
On and on and on and on tonight
Hush little baby
Get a load of this
Papa’s gonna get you a stimulus
And if that stimulus don’t trickle down
Papa’s gonna take you to funkytown
And if that funkytown forecloses
Papa’s gonna buy you a dozen roses
And if those roses make you blue
Papa’s gonna get you a bailout, too
Can you hear me?
Are you out there?
’Cause I’m sending out this song to you tonight
Can you hear me? (Can you hear me?)
Are you out there? (Are you out there?)
On and on and on and on tonight
I’m like Dorito dust on your fingers
Chip on my shoulder and the flava lingers
I’m like Dorito dust on your fingers
Long gone baby
But the flava lingers
Can you hear me?
Are you out there?
’Cause I’m sending out this song to you tonight
Can you hear me? (Can you hear me?)
Are you out there? (Are you out there?)
On and on and on and on tonight
(repeat)

INDOCHINE

Indochine
See her dancing in a young boy’s dream
And all the visions that come in between
Are of Indochine
Carousel
Spins round and round by a wishing well
I whisper secrets I could never tell
About Indochine
Parasol
She takes it with her to the shopping mall
And when her liberators come to call
She pretends it’s raining
Indochine
Everywhere she goes she makes a scene
Long live my little drama queen
All hail Indochine
Parasol
She takes it with her to the shopping mall
And when her liberators come to call
She pretends it’s raining
O Indochine
Take me back to a young boy’s dream
’Cause everything else I’ve ever seen
Pales next to Indochine
Indochine
Indochine

GLORY TRAIN
John Soeder
© 2009
I heard that lonesome whistle
In the middle of the night
Ran to the window
Yonder saw a light
Getting closer
Making its way
Brighter and brighter
The light became
Then I heard the conductor
Call my name
Train came screeching to a halt
Outside my door
On it way to a place
Where the streets are paved with gold
Porter with angel wings
Gave me a hand
Took my seat and off we went
To the promised land
Rolling thunder
Roll down the line
Don’t need a ticket
Don’t need no bags
Some dressed in Sunday best
Some dressed in rags
Young and old
And black and white
Riding
Side by side
Making their way to a place
Where the streets are paved with gold
All aboard
Faster and faster
Sped that Glory Train
Past mountains
Past forests
Past endless fields of grain
It was God’s half acre
Far as you can see
Rolling over rivers
And the sandy desert floor
Through sun and rain and snowstorms
Toward that distant shore
Beyond this horizon
Pilgrim set your sights
Fix your gaze on a place
Where the streets are paved with gold
Looky here
Now
Do not weep for me
My dear friend
This is not farewell
This is not the end
We’ll meet again
Down the line
I’ll save you a place
Where the streets are paved with gold
C’mon now

VIRGINIA, WE NEED TO TALK
John Soeder
© 2009
I know a girl
With a red dress on
Tell me if you think she’ll like this song
Do you think she’ll like it
(She might not like your song)
Oh she’s gonna like it
(Prob’ly won’t like your song)
She dances the minuet
Daddy has a bayonet
Do you know about it
(Who took the sha la la)
Yeah I know about it
(Bring back that sha la la)
Tonight
The stars are shining bright
I’m never going back there again
No I’m never going back there again
Tonight
The stars are shining bright
I’m never going back there again
No I’m never going back there again
The more I look
The more I find
The same things running
Through my mind
The less I know
The more I see
It’s true the truth
Will set you free
Dear Virginia
They steered you wrong
My sweet Virginia
We need to talk
I know a place where we can go
Nobody else has to know
Can you keep a secret
(Who took the sha la la)
It’ll be our secret
(Bring back that sha la la)
Music on the stereo
My ideal scenario
Music on the stereo
Is my ideal scenario-o-o-o
(She might not like your song)
(Prob'ly won’t like your song)
Today
There’s not much left to say
I’m never going back there again
No I’m never going back there again
Today
There’s no much left to say
I’m never going back there again
You won’t ever catch me back there again
The more I look
The more I find
The same things running
Through my mind
The less I know
The more I see
It’s true the truth
Will set you free
Dear Virginia
They steered you wrong
My sweet Virginia
We need to talk
Back to the girl
With the red dress on
Tell me if you think she’ll like this song
Do you think she’ll like it
(She might not like you song)
Oh she’s gonna like it
(Prob’ly won’t like your song)
The more I look
The more I find
The same things running
Through my mind
The more I look
The more I find
The same things running
Through my mind
Dear Virginia
They steered you wrong
My sweet Virginia
We need to talk

PRETTY PLEASE PLEIADES
John Soeder
© 2009
And so we came to the end
Our ship was dashed
Upon the rocks
Swam for my life
In a raging wine red sea
But fate had stuffed the ballot box
I was walking down the street
Minding my own business
When voices from above
Sang in harmony
You are the one
You are the one
Oh Pleiades
Pretty please
Pretty please
Pretty pretty please please
These Seven Sisters
Gonna bring me to my knees
When autumn’s chill
Hangs in the air
Look up at night
You’ll see ’em there
Shrouded in a haze like memories
See they rise
As the Hunter reaches for his bow
Still they rise
I’m walking down the street
Minding my own business
When 14 fingers
Point down at me
You are the one
You are the one
Oh Pleiades
Pretty please
Pretty please
Pretty pretty please please
These Seven Sisters
Got me on my knees
And so I came to the beginning
My thoughts raced backwards in time
The raging sea
Is calling me
But for now I’ll take a walk
Just to clear my head
You are the one
You are the one
Oh Pleiades
Pretty please
Pretty please
Pretty pretty please please
These Seven Sisters
Got me on my knees
Oh Pleiades
Pretty please
Pretty please
Pretty pretty please please
These Seven Sisters
Gonna be the death of me

APOLLO-SOYUZ
John Soeder
© 2009
We fight
Every other night
It’s just the way it goes
She thinks I’m wrong
I know I’m right
It’s all over
But the so-and-so’s
Why can’t we get back
To the spirit
They had in ’75
When the U.S.
And the Soviet Union
Soared above
That Cold War jive
It’s a fact opposites attract
It’s a fact opposites attract
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
She loves me
She loves me not
What’s it gonna be dear cosmonaut
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
Same old story
Throughout history
When folks don’t see eye to eye
They beat the war drums
And they send in the armies
Instead of giving peace a try
But don’t forget about
That little handshake
High above the atmosphere
If they could work it out
In outer space
Ain’t it worth a shot down here
It’s a fact opposites attract
It’s a fact opposites attract
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
She loves me
She loves me not
What’s it gonna be dear cosmonaut
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
I don’t wanna fight
Every other night
No more
I don’t wanna fight
Every other night
No more
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
She loves me
She loves me not
What’s it gonna be dear cosmonaut
What do we got to lose
What do we got to lose
We gotta get together like Apollo-Soyuz
(repeat)

IN THE DARKEST HOUR
John Soeder

In the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
When I can barely see
I shall know no fear
In that darkest hour
For I know
He’s watching me
In the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
When I can barely see
I shall know no fear
In that darkest hour
For I know
He’s watching me
In the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
When I can barely see
I shall know no fear
In that darkest hour
For I know
He’s watching me
I shall know no fear
In that darkest hour
For I know
He’s watching me
