(1st Verse)
Give to me first
And some will come down to you
Like manna from heaven
Like lush morning dew
I'll create some for you
But not by you getting
But by some mystical brew!

(Chorous)
Don't tax my genius
Or ever ask why?
The more the rich have the better?
Ideological pie in the sky
It's all beyond your conception
Yet come as no surprise
Us wealthy are always
Trickle-Down Guys!

(Bridge Verse)
I'm the King on the Hill
I'm the Brewer
The Baker
The Candlestick Maker
The Captain of Industry
The Wealth Generator!

(Last Verse)
I'm the Entreprenuer
The more I get and acrue
By some strange machination
Finds its own way down to you
I know it sounds odd
But just believe that it's true
Cos' if it's bullshit to me
It's definitely bullshit to you!

(Chorous Verse)

My old friend - Mr Blue!

By Tony Lawrie

The song is a standard 8 bar blues verse with a standard 12 bar blues Chorous that, using personification, captures the history, musicality, and nature of the gendre of the Blues. Not all verses need be performed and the order of the verses can be varied. The song leaves lots of scope for featuring solos by various musicians and instruments during actual performance.

Cool Mountain Air

By Brian Hendrix

I was driving up the mountain to visit my brother and I remarked to my mother who was driving that the air must have dropped about 20 degrees halfway up. It was very chilly, and I guess this song sorta floated in on the wind, as the entire time at my brother's house I was looking to write this chorus down before I forgot it. The rest of the song built around that, and I'm really thrilled about the final result and how this came out in the end. This is a situation a lot of rural/southern people go through. People close to us don't feel stuck to the land; they feel drawn to the big city. We often wish they'd come on home, where they belong.
