Tapioca Song
Today is National Tapioca Day OR IT WOULD BE IF IT WAS JUNE 28TH.

Here it is on Youtube.

One last chorus, if you’re doing it en masse, with a super slow and deep last note.
Mother’s Day
THIS is probably one of the best songs I ever wrote. Your mileage may vary.
ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR MAY 9
Well he went to his mother to ask her for her blessing for the life of a robber he was headlong bound. He knelt on the dirt floor of the house where he was born, she blessed him and she said,
“My son, go forth and steal!” x2
Crack baby born in a hospital room, and she’s seven months old and she’s known no other home. Thousands more like her as friendless as can be, and what will she grow into without help from you and me.
Don’t you know/how a mother loves her children. x2
Say hi to Mom say hi Now say goodbye
When I first held that helpless infant to my breast I thought, “It may get better but so far this is the best” nothing could prepare me for the way that I would feel! there’s magic in imagining, more magic in the real
Don’t you know/how a mother loves her children. x2
Thank you Gord, for doing such a great job on this… that’s him in on guitar and I think that is Mick Fleetwood on canned ie previously recorded drums.
Republican sentiments at last
Let’s see them booted out
the kings and queens of england
have stolen all your shit
but now they call it pageantry
and make you pay for it
the roundheads tried to end them
and they came slith’rin’ back
and now they’re narked cause harry wed
a yankee who is black
The kings and queens of england
stole half the world away
they stuck some in museums
and now you have to pay
The kings and queens of england
have stolen half the world
and now the heir’s a numpty
who’s known to rape young girls
they’ve blown all of their chances
of this there is no doubt
who’ll join with me so we can see
the crowned heads booted out
From dunnett head to dover
let’s see them booted out
It’s international asexuality day!
The Asexual Visibility and Education Network defines an asexual as “someone who does not experience sexual attraction” and stated, “[a]nother small minority will think of themselves as asexual for a brief period of time while exploring and questioning their own sexuality” and that “[t]here is no litmus test to determine if someone is asexual. Asexuality is like any other identity — at its core, it’s just a word that people use to help figure themselves out. If at any point someone finds the word asexual useful to describe themselves, we encourage them to use it for as long as it makes sense to do so.” (From Wikipedia)
According to various surveys, some of which had quite large data sets, one person in a hundred never feels sexual attraction to anyone. Asexuals can have sex out of curiosity or to please a partner, so lack of sexual activity is not in itself the criterion. More info is here.
this isn’t mine
But it’s my favourite finger picking style song, by Don Ross (Michael Michael Michael). He does an EVEN FASTER version of this but I don’t like it as much
Why won’t you die
1 Apophis was a god of note or so the legends say, til SG1 got up his nose and elseways in his way,
they tried to kill him n times- n minus one he survived,
you should have heard me shout for joy at the start of season 5. Chorus 1
2 Hathor was a re-al cow although she was Goauld, she put her finger to her lips and all the menfolks
drooled. Samantha Carter decked her CO cause she wasn’t fooled Jack O’Neill laid hands on her
and now she’s SUPERCOOLED Chorus 2
3 Nirrti’s gene experiments crossed her off Santa’s list. She lied and stole and lied some more and
got O’Neill quite pissed. She aimed for Jonas’ undies, we’re so glad that she missed! Then her minions made
her dance to the Istanbul twist Chorus 2
4 Sound is so evocative, it helps you in a slump, unless you’re waking up at night to wonder ‘what’s that bump?’
The gate is down! No DHD! Morale just took a dump! But I like when they close the iris, who’s that
THUMP THUMP THUMP. Chorus 2
The wind in the pines
I’m embarrassed by the lyrics, so I’m not posting them.
Sailing to Byzantium
It’s under copyright, so no lyrics.
Dark Souls 2 what are you all about anyway
Gotta run the crows are here.
spinal clinic
this is the midi version converted to mp3
played on the mandolin the beat is on the other side and it’s much more bluesy
I’ll probably post that later in the year – with the lyrics.
When ya gonna marry me?
Well my pa don’t say much but he don’t like none of my suitors
and my ma never stops she’s like a wasp in a winderpane
My sisters they fume and they tell me it’s my duty
Though I don’t want to wed, suitors harp at me again
Crowdin’ round, night and day
crowdin’ round, braggin’ and laughin’
Crowdin’ round, beggin’ kisses sayin’
When you gonna marry me?
I have sent them all off down the road in dusty twilight
and in peace I can pull down and play my mandolin
in the dark by the gatepost I hear a banjo twangin
And he’s far enough away that my pa can’t call it sin
Crowdin’ round, night and day
crowdin’ round, braggin’ and laughin’
Crowdin’ round, beggin’ kisses saying
When you gonna marry me?
All my life I’ve looked after my sisters and my brothers
now they tell me to marry and move out my trousseau
I’m worn out with this fam’ly and now must start another
Ne’er to sail foreign seas now, or hike in mountain snow
Crowdin’ round, night and day
crowdin’ round, braggin’ and laughin’
Crowdin’ round, beggin’ kisses saying
When you gonna marry me?
Some nights after my suitor let the banjo introduce him
He appears and then shyly he asks me for my hand
He’d not press me with children, as having the impression
It was something a husband and wife would jointly plan
instrumental break
Oh you speak to my heart, but what other chains are hiding
Shall I spend all my days by a stove and a sink
Shall I gasp in a fact’ry or wait upon your tidings
While you gamble in brothels and spend your health in drink?
chorus and fade
