about

Taken from the Songs of Mild Peril series.

Songs of Mild Peril are songs about life not always being as it seems. The flip-side. Literal meanings amidst the ambiguous, abstract, bleak and oblique. Songs about the world and the human condition from the comfort and terror of midlife.


Cartoon Dreams

Wake up sleepy Gene Genie!

lyrics

I've got a four leaf clover
With your name on it
Maybe I'd get lucky if you come on over
There's space and a place to sit

I've got eyes with x-ray vision
And they can see through you
The truth here lies
And exorcism could be the death of you

You switched the light on you got a spark
That keeps me out of the dark
You put the flight on and threw the dart
To complete my tattooed heart

I don't believe in God
No saviour just law of Sod
I'm too scientific and Darwinist
I'm praying that I got the genes
To see you through your teens
Arrest development stay forever young

I just believe in you dear
And me and ABC
I believe in he and she
And birds and bees and you and me

But I don't believe in God
I'm guided by Darwin unblinded by faith
I pray to God I got the genes
The ink and the tattooed dreams
Until the fat lady's sung we'll stay forever young

She don't believe in God
Prefers to think life's just odd
She seems to exist as a nihiist
She's praying that she's got the genes
The ink of the cartoon dreams
Until the fat lady's sung she'll stay forever young
