Meditation on Disorder
Fourteen in 1970,
reared in the blackstuff and the piss,
and gone before the concrete gave
to bad fashions and closed coal pits.
You feel as though a prophet out of time
has raised his head to talk not Godly things,
but sanctified despair, disorder beautiful, a bird that sings
of coffins and of crime.
About you films and plays and shows have been made,
I'd like it if you stayed
in only those disordered sounds
that so clearly evoke
a car that hurtles down the M1 late at night,
a walk home through the darkness rent ...
reared in the blackstuff and the piss,
and gone before the concrete gave
to bad fashions and closed coal pits.
You feel as though a prophet out of time
has raised his head to talk not Godly things,
but sanctified despair, disorder beautiful, a bird that sings

I'd like it if you stayed
in only those disordered sounds
that so clearly evoke
a car that hurtles down the M1 late at night,

Backstage (Van Halen)
Welcome Backstage, I’m Damian DeadLove. The year was 1996, September 4th to be precise. I’m watching the MTV awards show for some reason, I’ve never been huge into watching the award’s ceremony. Not even for live performances, mainly because the sound was never great on those shows. In my opinion that is.
Dennis Miller, the comedian, was the host that night. He was ready to announce the next presenter, and I was floored when he uttered the name, Van Halen. “Runnin’ With The Devil” is cued up and I’m waiting for the big reveal. Waiting for the curtain to be pulled back so...

I Quit the P.O.
I quit the P.O.
I QUIT the Post Office near me
To stand on a stage in a seedy corner of town not far from here
The P.O. paid my bills gave me (almost) middle class
Kept a roof over and paid all the bills
Even had enough to spend on the kids
What was I thinking I can’t pay for schooling
Playing in a dive bar
I quit the P O to pursue my dreams
Wake up look around at the damage I’ve done
Hope to wake up drunk on a rock star yacht
Forget about the damage I’ve done
The kids have the best...

Ru-di-men-ta-ry Guitar
Ru-do-men-ta-ry Guitar
ru·di·men·ta·ry guitar
With some good lyrics can make a song
I’m ru di men ta ry in my guitar
My lyrics can carry much further
So I play like a guitar student without any rhyme or rhythm
But my words fill in the space
That my guitar cannot get to
But that doesn’t deter me from unlocking
My fingers on some strings
So if your like me and you love music
Don’t be discouraged by what you can’t do
Instead live in the little things you do well

Book of Me
Book of Me
I write a book of songs
But I’m writing a song
Wordy too early in the morning
How about shut up and let your words walk
Pearls of a hit all I have to do is
Let my words breathe and reflect me
Instead of stepping on my creativity
Allow thoughts to step in between
I write a book of songs but all I need is
Something concise and real pretty
Now we’re on Jimmy Kimmel hope I don’t
Fuck up on live Tv , but I can fake it real good

The Tourist
too much in my head
but that is how it always is
my head will never grow quiet
so i will fill it
with beautiful music
radiohead circling my brain
getting rid of the noise
just for a bit
but that is how it always is
my head will never grow quiet

radiohead circling my brain

Prison Blues(with no shoes)
Picked up a parlor guitar 11/21
Picked up a parlor guitar on 11/21
Picked up a guitar on a cold November
I don’t remember when I felt this down
Started strumming but it’s all about being blue
Strum a little longer I get up off the floor
Stomp my foot and feel the beat
But I just lost my shoes and belt
Hear that metal ring as it’s closing
I got the prison blues with no shoes
Got them old turnkey blues but where’s my shoes I don’t know
So I serve some lunch and when I can

Lost Love Between
Lost love between
Covers pulled to your side
I get in your tug of war
Pull some covers and you
Back to me
Hold you lightly
Feel every impulse
A rooster calls
Breakfast on my plate
You’re cooking up
A love song
Look at the clock
Can’t wait to see you
Everyday is Eden
Everyday is Garden
Back in the roost
Familiar feeling in the kitchen
On the couch
Binging some Breaking Bad
Fall into your total love
Hear a heartbeat
...

Deep in Here (music n bball)
Deep in here(music +bball)
Watching great athletic events
Are something to applaud
But music is deep in here
Catching a pass or scoring down low
Just can’t compete
When you hit that chord
Or a great vocal line
Watch the crowd respond
But you didn’t catch anything
Cept something deep in our soul
Sport teaches life lessons
But Music is supreme
Sport is disciplined
Music is another level
Two things in life that I represent
Ball and some strings
When you ball and try to write...

Feeling It
Your feeling it
Let it flow
Don’t think about it
Let it go
Keep it simple and true
Don’t complicate it
Or pick at scabs
Let the healing begin on the tip of my pen
I’m feeling it it feels so good
Like my soul has taken a shower
My armpit smells like basketball
But my iron is hot
Like a blacksmith
Pounding em out
Soul on metal feels real good
Every nerve dances and pulsates
Tingles down my legs
I can’t carry a tune
But I can create one
Sing it...
Let it flow
Don’t think about it
Let it go
Keep it simple and true
Don’t complicate it
Or pick at scabs
Let the healing begin on the tip of my pen
I’m feeling it it feels so good
Like my soul has taken a shower
My armpit smells like basketball
But my iron is hot
Like a blacksmith
Pounding em out
Soul on metal feels real good
Every nerve dances and pulsates
Tingles down my legs
I can’t carry a tune
But I can create one
Sing it...

cheap hotel room
Its got a comfortable bed
and rustic decor
but the view out my window
is a brick wall
and there's dead cockroaches
scattered across my floor
The complimentary coffee is bad
the shower's temperamental
but the walls of this room are thicc
and I can't hear anyone yelling
or fucking or playing loud music
while I'm trying to sleep
I'm glad I picked up groceries
for breakfast already
because the roach problem
isn't giving me much confidence
