I I went for a ramble One pale winter’s morn The sky overhead gave no hint of a storm I reached for my pipe But I fumbled my pouch Match-sticks and tobacco and all did pour out Hi-O II I went for a ramble One pale winter’s morn The sting of the air was no cause for alarm I stroll at my leisure I stray from the trail This worried me not for the way I knew well Hi-O When a cloud Came and swallowed What there was of the Sun I wondered aloud, "Lord, what have I done?" III I went for a ramble One pale winter’s morn And I huffed in my hands and I tried to keep warm But my fingers were stupid And deaf to my wills Then the frost bared its teeth and it gnawed at my heels Hi-O

Mowing for the last Time of the year. Maybe the last time ever. Time to call some kid. About taking it over. That time could be used better. For more important things. Like maybe reading poetry. Or grilling up some wings Sometimes growing old aint that bad Dont go feeling sorry, dont go feeling sad Look at what you’ve got, not so much what you had Sometimes growing old aint that bad Some folks think I’m pretty clever Some might might even say cunning I don’t have time to write a song this week So you might say I’m punting

I saw a house on TV Some 47 rooms on a Cliff above the sea I put myself in that house Imagined gin and tonics With my supermodel spouse Somewhere out west of the night
I saw a flaming spear of light Go shooting cross the sky Thundering loud as cannonballs Had to pull off to the side I wish you’d call I have to change And I don’t know if I can change I’ve lost the depth, I’ve lost the range I have to change I read a book about the war About two brothers left divided By the colors that they wore Out on the front lines they’d meet Locked in private reverie the stalemate’s heat I have to change And I don’t know if I can change I’ve lost the depth, I’ve lost the range I have to change

A lone little boy Walked to a crossroad Sure where he’d been Not clear where he’d go The path north was wide And west where he’d come South was a haze And east not the one Why follow a path? The land is the land He make his own way To become a man Through the brush plain Where coyote would roam He felt the land call He knew he was home

The Middle Ages Situated between classical antiquity And the modern era A time of population decline And counterrurbanization Receding hairlines and peak tv Where do we go from here It’s a time for old beginnings Backyard fires and singalongs The Middle Ages Fall colors are in style Vikings, Magyars and Saracens Bringing in a fresh set of sounds Against a backdrop Of famine, plague and war Where do we go from here In the cadence of the choir Is the holy sound of the ancient melody Decked out in the new style The heart is locked in a wall Like a lonely anchoress In the many she sees but one She rises up toward the sun Drifts through stone and steel Joins with the seraphim comes down in the rain lives again and again In the green things that grow Pushing up through the snow As the crocus in the spring And the summer dandelion And the feathers on the breeze In the Middle Ages

BIG HOUSE IN THE BIG HOUSE EVERYTHING IS MINE IN THE BIG HOUSE EVERYTHING IS FINE AND YOU’LL FIND YOURS AND I’LL FIND MINE IN THE BIG HOUSE IN THE BIG HOUSE ALL IS RIGHT IN THE BIG HOUSE WE’RE OUT OF SIGHT AND YOU’LL FIND YOURS AND I’LL FIND MINE IN THE BIG HOUSE. IN THE BIG HOUSE THE SUN WILL SHINE IN THE BIG HOUSE LIVING ON CLOUD NINE AND YOU’LL FIND YOURS AND I’LL FIND MINE IN THE BIG HOUSE 2x

about

This week's assignment comes from M Snow:

"Should everyone survive, we'll end at 11 weeks/11 songs. If you were intending to keep to the original format's challenge, the possibility that there could be an 11th week presents a problem. If you're not concerned with staying to the original format, then there is no problem for you, but if you were, I offer you two choices:
1. Turn in your 10th song and be done
2. Turn in your best, tip-top throwaway and turn in your true final song next week
And when I say best throwaway, I mean give me your low effort best. Don't just crap something out, give it some thought (but just SOME thought). Don't labour over it, but don't bullshit it either. Try – just don't try too hard. Remember, this one ain't going on the album. But maybe it is. . ."
