Memphis snow
When my sunshine was stolen away
With love and kindness, took away my blindness
You knew just what to say
Gave me strength to live through the day
Kept me safe and warm
Now I hang on to every word you say
Anger was never my thing
Silent was my pain
But you heard the screams from within
You gave me so much time
When words were hard
You taught me how to rhyme
Chorus Your heart is as pure as Memphis snow
I can’t ever let you go
How on earth did I survive alone
With so many things to atone
Living life outta control
Bless your beautiful soul
Long may love reign
And may peace follow
In a world gone insane
When nothing makes any sense
Except two hearts rolled into one
No need for pretense
Did I ever say thank you?
Did I ever say sorry?
Well I think it’s long overdue
I’m gonna be there all the way
Into the dark hours
And the light of day
Chorus
Your heart is as pure as Memphis snow
I can’t ever let you go
How on earth did I survive alone
With so many things to atone
Living life outta control
Bless your beautiful soul

What’s up
What’s up what’s down
I hear you laughing like a clown
What goes around comes around
Price hikes airport strikes
Better off on a mountain bike
Watch out for the spikes
Loved up messed up
Chasing the easy buck
Guess your out of luck
Last train home left to roam
Gonna need some soft foam
Welcome to the pressure dome
Get me out of here
High price for a flat beer
Kids want the latest gear
Coffee cost more than gold
Christ I’m getting old
I see it all unfold
chorus
What’s up what’s going down
Seen you on the wrong side of town
Trying to make sense of this mess
What’s up it’s your guess
The pope is so drugged up
All he can say is god bless
Society sobriety
Got the better of me
Where is my Marie
Need her please her
Life is a blur
Why should I call my boss sir
It’s all just a game
Ain’t no such thing as shame
All this crap for 15 minutes of fame
Can’t be happy with what you got
Tied your self in a knot
If you can’t stand it sit down and squat
chorus
What’s up what’s going down
Seen you on the wrong side of town
Trying to make sense of this mess
What’s up it’s your guess
The pope is so drugged up
All he can say is god bless
