CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO:  I Don’t Need You

I don’t need you but I want to
Wanna be underneath your thumb
I don’t mean to be so see-through
Wanna get in bed
I Wanna play with guns

Drag me over the bridge and through the park
into the dark
into the weeds
between two trees
and on my knees
and you drag me down down down down down down down
and you run me down down right into the ground

I don’t need you….

Waves are crashing in at 4 am wanna take a swim
into the woods
into the dark
Pacific Rim
And your diving down down down down down down down
and we are shivering on the cold ground

I don’t need you….

Riding down to Swallow Hill
The breeze is fresh off Pikes Peak
Pedal up to Highland Bridge
Takes me to yummy things

I can ride from here to there
faster than you drive
I can ride my B Bike I can ride ride ride

Serene along the river
Roll into to Cherry Creek
I check her in on Columbine
Shop for fancy things

I can ride to a Rockies Game
To see the Av’s or March with Pride
I can ride to the Peoples Fair
I can ride, ride, ride

I can ride from here to there
faster than you drive
I can ride my B Bike I can ride ride ride

I can ride to the Orange and Blue
I can ride baby two by two
I can ride like a Nuggets Dancer
Meet me at the Double Daughter

I can ride on a first date
I can ride on my last
I can ride to the MCA

To see the Flobots or catch the Fray

I can ride from here to there

faster than you drive
I can ride my B Bike I can ride ride ride

Thank heavens for Travis Dickerson, Lindy Dickerson and John Bright.  Travis produced the song and played various instruments, John produced the vocals and Lindy played guitar!

Pay My Rent!!!

This is a funny song, and a serious request.  I am hosting a good old-fashioned Brooklyn style rent party here on my blog.  The money ran out.  Gone.  Gotta pay the rent.  New job starts soon thank goodness, but this month is a mess.  SO, can you help?  If you are in a position to, you can become a monthly subscriber for $4 a month and get access to Mp3’s of all BloginSongs.  If you would rather you can pay $5 and get my RENT album which features the best 10 songs (in my opinion) from the first year of BlogInSong.  That is 50 cents a song!

If you can help, I need it.  If you can’t help financially then make my day and leave a comment or forward this to your friends.  Thank you for listening!

A BIG HUG AND THANKS to all my current Monthly Subscribers!  Let me know if you have everything you need to download the songs!

I can’t afford to pay my rent

I get no help from the government

I can’t afford to pay my bills

Cannot afford my happy pills

My kids are begging mommy please

More mac and cheese

My job is starting in two weeks

Can you bring me

A 6 pack please?

Some Tilamook

Sharp cheddar cheese

Can you come to our garage sale?

Can you drop $5 bucks

On my record sales?

Dear Friends,

Can you help me pay my rent?

Its true I am avoiding things

Like asking Mom or selling my ring

I’m begging now I’m on my knees

Of course I cancelled MTV

My kids are begging Mommy please

I need to pee

I guess I better stop singing

Can you bring me

A 6 pack please?

Some Tilamook

Sharp cheddar cheese

Can you come to our garage sale?

Can you drop $5 bucks

On my record sales?

Dear Friends,

Can you help me pay my rent?

CLICK/LISTEN: Bells Gonna Ring

There’s something massive

And circular

And bigger than me

Bearing and tearing through March

Into spring

Something loping

A flock

A need

A despair

And no lover or mother or father or brother can share

In the change

That is coming

Or the things it will spawn

It is mine for the hunting

It is mine to take on

No telling

What kind of mischief

Or electric sting

But the needle is dropping

And the bells gonna ring

Only I can keep running

Get lost in the cloud

Might never come out

If I come out a princess

If I come out a serpent

Well that’s what we’ll work with

And its possible

I’m leaving the wrong things behind

But my belly’s hot fury is burning

In its own crazy light

One half of the sales price for this song/ringtone will go to Reverend Billy and his Flock!  Go and visit them and fall in love!!!

I took a cab ride with Reverend Billy

I suggested the Starbucks Drive through

Billy was struck by a bolt from up above

And he got on his knees and prayed

He said save her

Save her

She’s a beautiful child of this world

She’s got one hand in the devils paw

The other on her credit card

Exorcise the demons from this girl

Billy was afire with the spirit from above

My body was a shakin’

Felt like I was cracking up

We came upon a wal mart store

I got that devils urge

So the Reverend held me down while I purged

He said save her

Save her

She’s a beautiful child of this world

She’s got one hand in the devils paw

The other on her credit card

Exorcise the demons from this girl

We raced across the city

To the Mercury Café

We ordered local cheeses

And some fair trade lattes

Billy held my fragile head

And fed me apple pie

And we sent those corporate coffee cups

Right  back down to hell to fry

He said save her, save her

She’s a beautiful child of this world

She’s got one hand in the devils paw

The other in her money box

Exorcise the demons from this girl

With admiration and thanks to Reverend Billy (muse), DJ Bonebrake (drummer), Lindy Dickerson (guitars) and Travis Dickerson (organ, production)!

You’re in good hands with Saxby Chambliss
George Bushs’ bill goes to the King of Beers
Snap, crackle pop, for old Bill Clinton
Diamonds are forever
Just like swift boat smears

Are you raising your children to stand up or accede
To the power of our nations
Love for corporate greed?
Buy a pack of Marlboros
And you better believe
That the choices when you get to vote
Are going to be
About the money

Money, Honey

Please don’t squeeze the Arnold
Is it live or is it Pelosi?
Nothin’ says lovin’ like something from Palin
Here’s a campaign message

How do you spell relief
When it keeps going and going?
Do you Yahoo or reach out to touch
The real thing?
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz
You are not in control
And might be finger lickin’ good
Or it might just clean your toilet bowl

Money, Honey

“In all, fifteen Fort Carson GIs have been arrested in connection with a dozen murders over the past five years. And these aren’t the only crimes linked with soldiers in Colorado Springs. Since 2005, the number of military personnel in the El Paso County jail has increased more than 25 percent, outpacing the population growth of soldiers and veterans in the region.

Besides the sheer number, there’s something else striking about the soldiers being arrested…. “For the most part, they were squeaky-clean prom kings. Then they enlist in the military and maybe do multiple combat tours, and they come back and commit violent offenses.”

Ft. Carson Colorado
The proud home of our 4th Infantry
The men that pulled Sadaam
out from his hole
Ft. Carson Colorado
Those brave souls of the 31st Dixie
Named after Kit, its the Army’s heart and soul

Ft. Carson’s Deadly Duty
Was the headline on the Sunday News
Now Ft. Carson’s pride is burdened by
Its finest Iron horses running wild

And the army said “some problems slipped right through the cracks’
I wonder what they meant by that
Did they mean the 9 soldiers
turned by war from men to fiends
Did they mean the 6 now dead and gone
Shot or stabbed and left to bleed alone

Ft. Carson’s Deadly Duty
Was the headline on the Sunday News
Now Ft. Carson’s pride is burdened by
Its finest Iron horses running wild

Its constant fear, adrenaline
Its what they are trained to do
Redeployed and torn up limb from limb
And then told to come on home and settle in
Ft. Carson sends ‘em over there
Prepared for every kind of terror
But Ft. Carson doesn’t comfort them back home

Lilly was workin’ hard
Hitting the plant floor every day
She learned every single job
It was Goodyear all the way
Everyone in Gadsden Alabama
Knew her very well
The lady Manager
The sweetest gal
The hardest worker

Then one day
She got a letter from a stranger
Exposing that her pay
Was waaaaaay less than what the guys were makin’
Means Lilly spent
Round 20 years
Getting less
Doing the same
Wasn’t there a law about that
Back in the day?

And Miss Lilly says
Might don’t make right
Whats good is good
I’m gonna fight, I’m gonna fight
And you can thank her
For your right to equal pay
Miss Lilly Ledbetter
Your Miss American Way!

Shake downs for sex
Back room cigarettes
Lilly never wanted
Any part of this
They backed the wrong gal
Up against a wall
And it took an act of Congress
But the wall came tumblin’ down

Hey Lilly Hey
Ginsberg had her back
Lilly had her faith
Y’all better get right with that
And pay attention
Don’t take one penny less
Might need to mention
Lilly Ledbetter Act

And Miss Lilly says
Might don’t make right
Whats good is good
I’m gonna fight, I’m gonna fight
And you can thank her
For your right to equal pay
Miss Lilly Ledbetter
Your Miss American Way!
