inspirational lyrics by Cathie Fredrickson, Fergus Falls, Minnesota
He walks the streets of Minneapolis
he´s got blister´s on his toes and feet
jaunty in his new white shoes
struttin´down Hennipin Avenue
Yellin´groupies everywhere he goes
better believe, he´s puttin´up a show
in the land of America
he´s the sweet-swede thing You know!
He´s the man in the red pants
where the sharks swims over our heads
in the Mall-of-America
He´s the man in the pants - they are red!
Look - there´s Phillip and his brand new Trike!
riveted with leather and spikes
He says; wanna´come for a ride? Jump on! We´re gonna´have a good time!
Take a turn to downtown-Nicolett - in the land of 10.000 lakes
explored by the Vikings - Yeah - the swede´s are coming to town!
He´s the man in the red pants
where the sharks swims over our heads
in the Mall-of-America
He´s the man in the pants - they are red!
"Minnesota-nice" and an occasional quake
where the peoples´smiles are no-way a fake
The state Loon - he´s got a wonderful sound!
You can betch´ya - this Swede is coming to town!
Mankato - Fergus Falls
Alexandria - St. Paul
Climax - Fertile
Kasson - see it all!

G´day - How ya´been?
Are there troubles on the horizon?
G´day - Does it peel your skin?
Follow You around like Paparazzi?
Break the wind and hold yur breath
it will pass right by!
I got packages for You
- to open up!
Now look inside the wrappings
colors bright
unveil them
one-by-one!
Just say RIP-RIP-RIP
and all is gone!
CLAP yur hands and sing a song
Yu got the whole world in yur head!
Wang-Wang-Wang
say CHERIOU!
It´s not that bad - surely NO!
It´s only in Yur head!
Yu got the whole world in yur head!
bada-bada-ba
bada-bada-ba
G´day - where did You go?
Did you find a place to hide yur mask?
G´day - do You want to fold?
tell them all that they can kiss yur ass...
Break the wind and hold yur breath
it will pass right by!
I got packages for You
- to open up!
Now look inside those wrappings
colors bright
unveil them
one-by-one!
Just say RIP-RIP-RIP
and all is gone!
CLAP yur hands and sing a song
Yu got the whole world in yur head!
Wang-Wang-Wang
say CHERIOU!
It´s not that bad - surely bro!
It´s only in Yur head!
Yu got the whole world in yur head!
bada-bada-ba

©(NOT) The End Of The World
by UnDErHatTEn/Joe Jaunty (2014)
-----------
You sit alone-lone,lone lonely in your head
talking to yourself with nothin to say
"I picked the wrong way" picks your brain
you can smell the coffee, but you´re not awake
CHORUS:
Hey now buddy - don´t be sorry
it´s not the end of the world!
Hey now dude - you are screwed
it´s not the end of the world!
Hey there fella´- don´t be mellow
cause haven´t you heard?
You´re a fool - not the sharpest tool
-it´s not the end of the world!
-----
You say your brain is a place with a whole lotta´space
just put up a sign - with "Room for Rent"
All those sweepstakes swept-swept away
-go boil an egg and put it on your face!
CHORUS:
Hey now buddy - don´t you worry
it´s not the end of the world!
Hey now dude - You´re maybe screwed
it´s not the end of the world!
Hey now bro - you are quite slow
you don´t get it at all!
Hey now dude - hey now You
it´s not the end of the world!
-----/Some sort of SOLO/-----
Hindsight 20/20 - learn from your mistakes
the RIGHT way - was to the left...
Just turn around-round-round, spin all around
feeling dizzy? Try not to miss the ground...
CHORUS:
Hey now buddy - don´t be sorry
it´s not the end of the world!
Hey now dude - you are screwed
(but) it´s not the end of the world
Hey there fella´- don´t be mellow
cause haven´t you heard?
You are a fool - not the sharpest tool
it´s not the end of the world!
____________
Hey now buddy - don´t you worry
you put the "A" in Absurd
Hey now dude - You´re maybe screwed
-it´s not the end of the world
Hey now bro - you are quite slow
you just don´t get it at all!
Hey now dude - hey now you
-it´s not the end of the world!
/it´s not the end of the world/
/it´s not the end of the world/

MUSIC and LYRICS - Joe Jaunty © 2014
Sitting on a stick
memories getting picked
Hover off unsavory ground
Collecting sounds like: "La-Di-Dah"
Abra-Cadabra!
wizardry and magic
in our songs
Here I´m sittin´on a stick
while the cameras goes: "CLICK"
Everyone is staring at the clowns!
My partner sitting safe and sound
a solid place - til I fall down!
(remember; not to look down!)
CHORUS:
Collect our sounds on USB
love songs about U and Me
We are here
just to - pleeeease!
Our music reaches to the sky
(the) air is thin up in the clouds
hover´off unsavory ground..
----
Sittin´on a stick
gives me a buzz and a fix
collabs calling us combined
I - just hover around
My partner´s sitting safe and sound
a solid place - until I fall down!
CHORUS:
Collect our sounds on USB
love songs about U and Me
We are here
just to - pleeeease!
Our music reaches to the sky
air is thin up in the clouds
hover ´bove unsavory ground...
/SOLO/
------
it isn´t very easy now
we are doing it to be admired!
just hope I wont hit the groooound!
My partner is sitting safe and sound
(a) solid place - til I fall down!
hover ´bove unsavory ground...
---
Sitting on a stick
brain is getting picked
like the last kid on the playground
Need no helmet - not that far
Curve ball is made of tar
digging us a hole-in-one...
CHORUS:
Collect our sounds on USB
love songs about U and Me
We are here
just to - pleeeease!
Our music reaches to the sky
air is thin up in the clouds
hover ´bove unsavory ground...
remember - not to look down!

SOMETHING by Joe Jaunty ©2012
-I had a dream last night - I remember it all
I was out walking in the streets - talking to ya´all...
And I was asking:
- Is there somethingonyourmind?
- Is there somethingonyourmind?
1 -There was a young boy - shooting "hoops" in his yard
He was kinda´short in the leg - but he tried really hard...
Someone had told him -"Give it up - You suck!"
"But if I can´t dream my dream - what´s the use
to dream at all?"
- There was somethingonhismind!
- Is there somethingonyourmind?
2 -I saw a pretty girl - she was skipping rope
Suddenly she stopped in mid-air
like she ran out of hope...
(She said): "I came to think about - pollution and all that stuff...
and if I grow old - will our planet be snuffed?"
- There was somethingonhermind!
- Is there somethingonyourmind?
3 -Two guys where out fishing - in a little boat
and they were discussing - does God exist - or is he a hoax?
well, it turned out to be - the fishes-lucky-day!
Cos they rocked the boat and they sunk it all
and their bodies sailed away!
- There was somethingsontheirmind!
- Is there somethingsonyour mind?
4 -There was a blind man - and his dog
The man was beating it up with a stick - but it kept plugging along...
The Dog figured: "He´ll maybe change...
And if he wont - I will lead him across the next junction -
LOOK! There´s a train!"
- There was somethingonitsmind!
- Is there somethingonyourmind?
5 -Some guys blew up a house (or maybe there was two?)
They were all covered with hate - but I guess their ma´s loved them true...
If they only had had a hobby - collecting stamps and such!
It would never had happened - and those buildings would still be there- to touch!
- They had somethingontheirminds!
- Do You have somethingonYourmind?
6 -A brand new Mercedes pulled up - Fat guy at the wheel!
I tried so hard to read his thoughts - (but) it was a closed deal
So I had to ask him: WTF?
(And he said): "Well, I´m a politician you see - Vote for Me - and - Good Luck!"
- There was nothinginhismind!
- Is there somethinginYourmind?
7 - Most people are the same - all over the world
Well, apart from those pluckers - who won´t do what they are told!
I think that others - should be just like me!
Cus then there wouldn´t be any Wars...
...and I will beat them til they agree...
- There is somethingonMymind!
- Is there somethingonYourmind?
- Is there somethingonYourmind?
- coz there is somethingonMYmind!

BEST FRIEND
by Joe Jaunty
Someone walks on water-that´s not a bad idea-but if you dare to challenge-why He don´t get wet
then they tend to frown upon-if you don´t swallow their tale
--------------
I will be their best friend-as long as I´m with them
---------------
Some people counting stars-count them all day long-but at nighttime you´re better off- - some friendly advice-counting all the stars-and lining them up
----------------
I will be your best friend-when you´ve counted them all
----------------
/SOLO/
If someone starts to fall-there´s bound to be a noice-just a pity if you do not make it by choice
and if you just fell-Who will tell?
----------------
I can be your best friend-I promise I will tell
/SOLO/
----------------
Someone wish he´s taller- if you know that guy-And someone wish he´d spoken up-or at least asked "why"
----------------
Yeah- someone walked on water-I tried it once myself-I lived to tell the tale
but it ended less than swell
I learned from my experience-there´s water all around
------------------
Will You be my best friend?
and swim by my side...
------------------

AGAINST THE GRAIN by Joe Jaunty © 2013
/The Rub-Dub-Dub Song/
When I woke this mornin´ - way-way halfpast dead
Couldn´t stop yawnin´ - went back to sleep instead
The sun was out - all I saw was shade
(my eyes were full of pebbles and grain)
Wah-wah-wah-what´s U´r name?
Do ya´grind the grid or surf the waves?
Wah-wah-wah-what´s U´r game?
Do ya´ follow the road or investigate?
--------------
I´m locked and loaded - I can´t spell to "quitt"
my body´s moulded - in to someone else!
Why-why-why? Would U please explain
Why-why-why - am I against the grain?
Rub-rub-rub - do ya´ swallow or just complain?
Do ya´ wear U´r shades even in the rain?
Rub-dub-dub - do ya´ like it safe or a closer shave?
Cut it dry as a bone against the grain!
/Take the road to shame or fame!/
---------------
Rock that boulder - give it some stick
Use U´r shoulder - (Hell Yeah) give it a kick!
Roll it up the hill - roll it down again
Rub, rub, rub it - watch it roll - all the way!
----------
Do ya´ follow or rub - against the grain?
Rub it in - rub it out - all the way
Rub-dub-dub - /or/ do ya´wanna play it safe?
Rub-dub-dub - the ace of spades
give it a spin - are U sure how to play?
Rub-dub-dub - that´s the name of the game
Rub-dub-dub - against the grain
How ya´feel in the morning is a whole different play
Rub - dub - dub - rub it all the way!
/Don´t think about it - Just DO it!!/

If life is garbage
just recycle
start to whistle (a HIGH note!)
smile a trifle - You gotta´LAUGH!
Yur glass is empty - or maybe half
don´t worry - yu´ll soon be dead...
