MR. GARU
I used to rule in cool
along the boulevard
avoided getting schooled
I was my own bard
my own bard
reality rolled up
I caught a glimpse of you
the curtains drew apart
now I’m nothin but Mr. Garu
Mr. Garu
Mr. Garu
Mr. Garu
when I saw you
the road fell through
Mr. Garu
Mr. Garu
there’s no dispute
and many truths
on all avenues
there are many truths
but the word falls through
now I’m nothing but you know who
Mr. Garu
On all avenues
there are many truths
I caught a glimps of you
Now I’m you know who
Mr. Garu
Mr. Garu
because of you
the words fall through
Mr. Garu
Mr. Garu
all avenues
and every truth
Mr. Garu
Mr. Garu
Mr. Garu
I’m telling youj
a glimpse of you
and tout a coup

The Acquaintance

Rollin on a wave
of independence
sock it to me babe
only the bare bones
flesh and zones
take me to a higher plane
the acquaintance knows
what comes it goes
freighted with exquisite tones
WHAT YOU'VE GOT IS WHAT YOU HAVE
THERE'S NO EXCHANGE, NO BEL AIR
THOUGH YOUR LOT IS CONSTANT FLUX
YOUR LIFE IS SAVED SWEET AND FAIR
the acquaintance knows
their appearance shows their grace
their compassion lights
with moral frame in place
Rollin on a wave
of independence
sock it to me babe
only the bare bones
flesh and zones
take me to a higher plane
luck is fickle
roll with the heft
and everywhere you go is home
you don't have to be alone

Whatcha Gotta Do – by Pip
slowin’ down the big machine
but it’s starting up again once more
whatcha gotta gotta do
the rigours of the rigorous,
hardly ever seems enough
whatcha gotta gotta do
gotta do; gotta do
all hat, no buffalo
news says it’s in the know
whatcha gonna do
big global moon and tide
let’s hear from far and wide
whatcha gonna do
caught up in calumnies
the gas light
puts you off your game
the rigours of staying put
somehow has set it all aflame
slowin’ down the big machine
but it’s starting up again once more
whatcha gotta gotta do
the rigours of the rigorous,
hardly ever seems enough
whatcha gotta gotta do
gotta do; gotta do
all hat, no buffalo
news says it’s in the know
whatcha gonna do
big global moon and tide
let’s hear from far and wide
whatcha gonna do
whatcha gonna do
good thing I’m paranoid
I don’t spend any time alone
there’s demons everywhere
Rumi, invite them into Rumi’s home
slowin’ down the big machine
whatcha gotta do…
