People have wishes in life....dreams that they wish would come true.

All kinds of things they hope they will do.

To be the most beautiful of all or to rule the world.  To be the most passionate lover or to just figure out who they are supposed to be. What their purpose is in life.  I guess, I'm that type of person.  The one waiting for the skies to open up and give me a sign....a reason... a meaning for my ultimate existence. 

I have had ideas along the way, feelings of what that is, but I always seem to second guess it.  My gut tells me things all the time. Powerful things.  Things that I should have been listening to, but haven't.  And I honestly can't tell you why I do that....is it that my brain believes itself to be smarter that my intuition?  Some inner battle for superiority.... 

It's a very tiring and losing battle, people.  All that to say, live life and don't let life you.

Peace and Love, T-Bird

So, it seems that a lot of you out there like this song, so i figured i would say a little bit about it.

The song is all autobiographical, as most of our lyrics tend to be.  It's about how for as long as I can remember I've had all these dreams of how my life would be and what I would be doing and such... and how even though most of them have not materialized into what i pictured them to be the dreams never died.  They still live in me and who i am evolving into.

So, here goes the lyrics. Peace and Love - T

City Life

I had big dreams

I had ideas

I had everything

I had my name

I wanted everything to go my way

I didn't need nobody

'Cuz I was everything

 

I went to college

It changed everything

I learned of revolution

& How to make my body sing

Then I got a job

And I settled down, down, down

Forgot about my city life

But not about my light

 

Wanted fame, wanted money, wanted recognition

Wanted everybody to know my name

Wanted love, wanted light, wanted recognition

Do you know my name?

 

I always wanted to live in the city

But I ended up in the country

Always wanted to fly an aeroplane

But I never learned

 

The love I once felt for those things

The happiness I remember

I found a new appreciation

For the dreams inside my heart

The love I once felt for those things

The passion it brought forth from me

Stills burns inside my body

Still burns inside my mind

 

Wanted fame, wanted money, wanted recognition

Wanted everybody to know my name

Wanted love, wanted light, wanted recognition

Do you know my name?

 

I always wanted to live in the city

But I ended up in the country

Always wanted to fly an aeroplane

But I never learned

 

I never learned

No, no never, no never, never

I never

 

I always wanted to live in the city

But I ended up in the country

Always wanted to fly an aeroplane

But I never learned

Always wanted to see my name in lights

Wanted fame, wanted fortune

Always wanted to live in the light

In the warm glow of light

 

I like to think of this song and every person's song who has ever gotten fed up with a roommate, live-in boy/girlfriend or whoever that seriously needed to remove themselves from their space.  It's called Pack it Up and of course I had my own muse to write to lyrics about, but you all can insert whoever you want.  Peace and Love - TBird

There's no time to play around

No time to make light of this

You know the rent is due, but I swear I'm through with you

So just pack up your shit

Call U-Haul to help yo' ass

Cuz when five o'clock rolls around I don't wanna see you in this town

Leave your keys to my door

Leave your keys to the mail

Leave all yo' access to my doors

Make sure yo' shit if off my floor

Call your Momma, call yo' friends

Call your Daddy, call Tyrone

I don't care where you go, you just can't stay here no more

Just make sure its done today

Hey, hey hey

Pack it up Pack it up

Get the hell out now, cuz I'm tired of your shit

Pack it up Pack it up

Get the hell out now, cuz I'm tired of your shit

Now for all of you who got questions

Wonderin' why I'm at this point

So I guess I'll just back it up to let you all know just what's up

See when we first met

Things were fine cool peachy and dandy

But then he had to test my patience and invade me all up in my spacious love

And Lord knows I cried

Talked Lord and I begged

But all that shit it was in vain

So its you out in the rain

So just pack up yo' shit

I don't care where you go

You just can't stay with me no fuckin' mo

Just make sure its done today

Hey, hey hey

Pack it up Pack it up

Get the hell out now, cuz I'm tired of your shit

Pack it up Pack it up

Get the hell out now, cuz I'm tired of your shit

Clean the dishes in the sink

Wipe the dirt ring out the tub

Make sure you get every damn thing up offa my floor

I want every trace of you, erased wiped clean from my place

You betta get up out my goddamn face

Call the Sol that rides the Pine

Mr. Clean is in the book

Dial 411 or 911 and I'm sure you'll find 409

Just Lord, Please

Get your shit and go

Just make sure its done today

Hey, hey hey

Pack it up Pack it up

Get the hell out now, cuz I'm tired of your shit

Pack it up Pack it up

Get the hell out now, cuz I'm tired of your shit

Pack it up Pack it up

Get the hell out now, cuz I'm tired of your shit

Pack it up Pack it up

Get the hell out now, cuz I'm tired of your shit

Hey, T here.

So many of you have asked me to start posting the lyrics to our songs so I will do that starting now beginning with Doesn't Matter. 

When I wrote the lyrics for this song, I was thinking about relationships and friendships, of my own and those that I was encountering.  At the time, it seemed as if all of my friends were breaking up, getting divorced, etc. and there are times when you start to question your own judgement and the boundaries you may or may not have set.  Well, the song is about when you've reached that point with someone where it just doesn't even matter anymore what's said or done because you just don't care.

Doesn't Matter - Pennyshaker 2006

There is something I want to say - Don't want words to get in the way of my meaning - It's been a long, long time coming - You see, I've got this loomin' feeling - Of a pending catastophe - I know it's over between us - It's plain for everyone to see

I've gotta go - Time to leave - There's no more space for me to breathe - I've gotta go - Time to leave - There's no more space for me to breathe

Doesn't even matter what else there is to say - Doesn't even matter how the words wanna play - Doesn't even matter anymore - I've got to go

I held my tongue and hid my feelings from you - All these years we've been together - But I won't do that anymore - It's like a band-aid on a gaping wound - See pain is a heavy burden to bear - Particularly when you do it alone - So - Tonight I'm layin' down my burden - I've gotta go and get away from you

I've gotta go - Time to leave - There's no more space for me to breathe - I've gotta go - Time to keave - There's no more space for me to breathe

Doesn't even matter what else there is to say - Doesn't even matter how the words wanna play - Doesn't even matter anymore - I've got to go

How I've cried and How I've tried to fix this love we got - But all you ever did was try to break me down and say that I wasn't your kind of woman - So I stopped trying to be everything you ever wanted and I tried to find myself - There's no question in my head that this love we had is dead and it's time for me to move on, on, on

Doesn't even matter what else there is to say - Doesn't even matter how the words wanna play - Doesn't even matter anymore - I've got to go

Doesn't even matter what else there is to say - Doesn't even matter how the words wanna play - Doesn't even matter anymore - I've got to go
