I Cant quite hear you now all the fluids are building in my ear You're sounding so distant I wish you'd speak louder to me It hurts when I swallow now It's hard when I have you inside my mouth I'm restless these nights when you're scratching at my throat Replicate in me Spread and Breed in me Have your way do what you need to So long as you'll soon be gone The Poison is under my skin Chemicals are driving me out of my mind I'm washing it off me over and over Pour out the liquid now Taking clothes off just to clean them again and the Little one still chews his legs when he's not asleep Replicate in me Spread and Breed in me Have your way do what you need to So long as you'll soon be gone

Life is orange and white Let me hear you scream bobcats fight Life is orange and white If practice makes perfect they will be alright Bobcats stand up show your orange and white Glenn high bobcats fight fight fight. Had to cancel our vacations My oldest boys on jv He's a freshman playing football They practice seven days a week Twice a day So he can play Life is orange and white Let me hear you scream bobcats fight Life is orange and white If practice makes perfect they will be alright Bobcats stand up show your orange and white Glenn high bobcats fight fight fight. Grab your helmet pads and play book Don't forget to tie your shoes The talk around the breakfast table Is man zone and cover 2 It's all I see We live and breathe Life is orange and white Let me hear you scream bobcats fight Life is orange and white If practice makes perfect they will be alright Bobcats stand up show your orange and white Glenn high bobcats fight fight fight.

When you were born we promised not to lie to you No Santa Claus, no sugar-coated platitudes After all, your mum and I had learned to lose And somehow found a way to win together And now you're tough, you'll be alright, bring on the day It won't be long, another week, for summer's play I'll walk you to the bus and send you on your way You'll say, "I'm nervous, daddy," I'll say "why?" I'll be quick to erase The frightened look on my face We'll buy the pens we'll pack the pack and lace yr shoes We'll buy the notebooks with the cats and kangaroos And late tonight, yr mum and I will hit the booze And try not to think about the old days I wanna make an armored suit Or find a size 1 combat boot Yes, you're right, it's scary And I might have lied about the tooth fairy And you'll make friends, they'll come and go And a few of them will bruise your soul Cause some people suck and they'll have their own way And I'd give everything to be there every day But I can't They won't let me I used to think I had a better way to love Bypass the snuggly stuff and lay down hard wisdom from above There are so many things I wish that i could say But you'll have to learn them in your own way Yes, you're right, it's scary And I might have lied about the tooth fairy And you'll make friends, they'll come and go And a few of them will bruise your soul Cause some people suck and they'll have their own way And I'd give everything to be there every day But I can't They won't let me

Hook Your Thumbs ©clay howard your looking over here I'm looking over there when maybe somewhere in the middle we'd find the answer for the question of the problem we are facing but were all afraid of crossing the line we got a lot of fingers pointing at all of the ringers when looking in the mirror we're blind the answers for the questions of the problems we are facing is at the start of the line hook your thumbs don't point your fingers you cast your vote yeah i still remember look at home then try and lose your temper hook your thumbs don't point your fingers

Growing up fast Not a day goes past Where I don't give thanks For my little ones Growing up fast Try to make it last A little longer... But they're growing up so fast Something about this summer man I can't believe the changes Wake up one day, conversations And Older faces Seems like it was yesterday When the big guy H arrived Now he's six acting like sixteen And the twins are right behind Now they go away for ten days and I'll be solo and missing them Summer camps and walking miles Look around don't see babies Taking a trip to gramas house Can't believe it's so crazy Half of me is excited To be fee The other half will miss them terribly

The radio rips the dreams out of my head every day somebody needs me to do something every day But then I take a gander at the calendar and see two words too long gone No events today I checked there's no mistake No events today I think I’ll take a trip to Naptown I’ll enjoy this anomalous respite because it lasts for a day Soon morning until midnight I must go go go, every day It will be another fortnight until I meet those words again No events today I checked there's no mistake No events today I think I’ll take a trip to Naptown

Who's ready to head north? It's not very far, for what it's worth We landed there and opened up our eyes We left it all behind Memories locked in our minds A home we can't replace, but we'll sure try You'll love the view from here And soon the leaves will disappear And frame the mountain 20 miles down south We loaded up the truck We boxed the plates and with any luck We won't break a thing when we take them out Jack Daniels on the porch Jim Beam in the hall Jose Cuervo holds some more We did not drink them all All the shoes are in Grey Goose Man, we got it made This is a liquor box serenade The carport pours down rain The Beatles over the fireplace A secret trail from the bedroom to the blue The wall fell to the floor We never wanted for anything more Than a home to live & love and that's the truth Jack Daniels on the porch Jim Beam in the hall Jose Cuervo holds some more We did not drink them all All the shoes are in Grey Goose Man, we got it made This is a liquor box serenade I need a new rhyme scheme Maybe something in between The light & the dark A princess & a killer queen Who's ready to head north? It's not very far, for what it's worth We landed there and opened up our eyes Jack Daniels on the porch Jim Beam in the hall Jose Cuervo holds some more We did not drink them all All the shoes are in Grey Goose Man, we got it made This is a liquor box serenade

The Bright Side She’d been fine all summer long and then the second day of school She came home with a fever and a real bad sore throat too We took her to the doctor and he did a couple tests He said she’s got strep throat, to take some med’s and get some rest Look at the bright side The schools help build your immune system really very well A cesspool of the latest germs with every homeroom bell What better place to send your kids Bacteria figured out just where to hide Look at the bright side A big nest of yellow-jackets right beside the path A short walk through the woods is all it tool to feel their wrath I ran out getting’ stung with crazy arms waving though the air My young had seen the nest before and asked why I went in there Look at the bright side The EPI Pen manufacturers have to make a living too To get so close to nature is something everyone should do That must be what my young son thought As to let me have this experience in my life Look at the bright side SOLO Week after week I sit around and write these songs Everybody tells me that they think they’re really strong But no one’s come to say that on their next big release That they’d like to sing my song and here’s a check for 50 G’s Look at the bright side I won’t worry about that money and all the taxes that I’d pay And the calls to write more songs’d be too much trouble anyway What better way to keep your day job And stay out of the paparazzi’s eye Look at the bright side Look at the bright side Look at the bright side Look at the bright side

about

Duncan sez:
"Write about something important that is going on at this moment in your life. As in career change, moving, family drama, home improvement, etc., (not so much sitting in a chair writing a song)."
