Esplanade 03:16
ESPLANADE There’s a place where I like to go everyday In Redondo Beach, L.A. It’s a street where You’ve got a view of the bay And it’s name is Esplanade Sand and surf and breeze Makes me a Beach Boy And I can dream When I’m on Esplanade Eat a sandwich Watch the dolphins go by Down on Esplanade Like a movie The scenes unfold for your eyes Down on Esplanade Sand and surf and breeze Makes me a Beach Boy And I’ll daydream While I’m on Esplanade Oh can you smell the sea air? And can you tell me why I’m now not there Sand and surf and breeze Makes me a Beach Boy And I’m so glad When I’m on Esplanade Oh can you smell the sea air? And can you tell me why I’m now not there Maybe someday I’ll win the lotto and buy My piece of paradise But in my mind I already own this And I think it’s pretty nice The sand the surf the breeze I am a Beach Boy When I’m down here Down on my Esplanade Esplanade Yes Esplanade Copyright (c) Namesake Music, BMI www.NamesakeMusic.info

PLACES OF DREAMS When I was just a small child My mother took me to see Steps that were built by my grandfather Early in the century But all I saw was Indians And they were all around me I felt that I was once with them And they were my family My father as a small child Held onto his mother’s hand While he watch his father swinging From the steeple so grand Now that young boys’ an old man On the very same spot He holds onto his own son’s hand As he prepares to depart We’ll take our walk at night on Vliet Over to Hawthorn’s Glen up the street And there is Bushski’s barn after dark I see the skating rink in the park These are all magical hotspots They are the Places of Dreams These are all magical hotspots They are the Places of Dreams Copyright (c) Namesake Music, BMI www.NamesakeMusic.info

Star Desire 03:38
STAR DESIRE Star attraction Gravitational pull Cosmic magnates Magically take control Star Desire Pulling me higher and higher Well don’t you know that’s exactly who you are? Moon in Pieces Raising in the Third House Ruled by Cancer Fighting not to get lost In Star Desire Equal parts of water and fire Well don’t you know that’s exactly who you are? When it’s dark and dim Caused by lack of pure light Ignite the stars – consult with the charts When all hope runs thin Like it did only yesterday Ride with the tide let it guide you away Star Desire You make the world – world much brighter Well don’t you know that’s exactly who you are? When it’s dark and dim Caused by lack of pure light Ignite the stars – consult with the charts When all hope runs thin Like it did only yesterday Ride with the tide let it guide you away Star Desire Orbiting Zodiac Endless journeys But I always come back To Star Desire You set the moon and planets on fire Well don’t you know that’s exactly who you are? Star Desire You’ve got this moon clearly on fire Well don’t you know that’s exactly who you are? Copyright (c) Namesake Music, BMI www.NamesakeMusic.info

IT’S ABOUT TIME Once a flower child Innocent and carefree But I cut my hair off It’s About Time I packed a rifle While living in a jungle But I turned my helmet in It’s About Time Life takes us around and around Sometimes lost and sometimes found We’re here for such a short while Best make it worthwhile I made a living Working in an office But I took my tie off It’s About Time I play my music Counting beats and measures I made this song up And It’s About Time Life takes us around and around Sometimes lost and sometimes found We’re here for such a short while Best make it worthwhile Like an alarm clock Chiming at the hour’s top Our lives go tick tock It’s About Time Always fleeing Never repeating Just receding From that time when we took our first breathe Deep inside of me Are many possibilities I squeeze them out of me Cuz' It’s About Time Copyright (c) Namesake Music, BMI www.NamesakeMusic.info

Mystified 04:14
MYSTIFIED Whirling swirling changing shades of red Melting into greenish blue Colors twist and turn inside my head All this makes me think of you Images They freeze in my mind Like the twinkle in your eye To all that’s left I’m thoroughly blind I’m completely Mystified Magic moments are so rare and true I’ve been captured by your spell Images They freeze in my mind Like the twinkle in your eye To all that’s left I’m thoroughly blind I’m completely Mystified Mystified Whirling swirling changing shades of red Melting into greenish blue Colors twist and turn inside my head All this makes me think of you You You Copyright (c) Namesake Music, BMI www.NamesakeMusic.info

YOUNG AND STRONG We’re young and strong And we must carry on To meet the fight Cuz' we’re right And it’s our turn The torch it still burns The lessons we’ve learned As time goes by Fathers pass to their sons Before they die Their wisdom they share Batons are passed With all responsibilities Our turn at last We’re ready to serve We’re young and strong And we must carry on To meet the fight Cuz' we’re right And it’s our turn The torch it still burns The lessons we’ve learned Our time is now Protecting traditions Our rights we’ve earned We carry the ball The day will come When we let our children lead But until we’re done We’ll lead the way We’re young and strong And we must carry on To meet the fight Cuz' we’re right And it’s our turn The torch it still burns The lessons we’ve learned We’ve earned Our turn Our turn – yeah Copyright (c) Namesake Music, BMI www.NamesakeMusic.info

THE MAN CAN DANCE The Man Can Dance Life is a chance He shows us living He sure can dance We feel his pain But he never complains He makes us feel good That is his aim Fate wants his arms Fate takes his legs Fate wants it all But fate can’t have him Cuz' his spirit It will not fall The man can’t walk Yet he leads the way He cannot speak now But says so much everyday He cannot stand up Yet he stands He stands so tall He can’t even shake hands But he lifts He lifts us all He cannot stand up Yet he stands He stands so tall He can’t even shake hands But he lifts He lifts us all The Man Can Dance Life is a chance He shows us living He sure can dance He sure can dance The Man Can Dance Copyright (c) Namesake Music, BMI www.NamesakeMusic.info

THE STORY OF BLACKIE AND LITTLE ONE I’ve got a story A story I want to tell Of a couple of gangsters Chicago - is where they dwelled The boss man was named Blackie And was as mean as they would come His sidekick was called Little One Everyone thought he was dumb Blackie planned to steal the gold While in transit one fine day They pulled it off without a hitch Cuz' he and Little One got away They went up to Wisconsin To the northern woods to hide They’d lay low for the winter Away from prying eyes They dragged their crate of shinny stuff And placed it in a pond And soon the pond froze over The gold would not be found As they walked back to the cabin Blackie yelled in all his pride His proclamation of arrogance To the wilderness he cried “I’m too smart for them No one knows I’m here I got away with the perfect crime I truly have no peers” “I could hide out here forever They’ll never find me here And the story of my perfect crime Will be told for many years” The days grew short with winter And Blackie’s meanness flared He took it out on Little One Cuz' there was no one else to share And on one cold December morning Blackie screamed - where Blackie stood “Get up and fix me some breakfast And go out and cut some firewood” Little One stood up and grabbed his ax To greet the winter cold But he stopped - and turned - and faced Blackie He didn’t do what he was told Bloodied footsteps in the snow Led the way back to the pond Where Little One hacked a hole in the ice And pulled up what could not be found He emptied out the container Of all the shinny stuff And replaced it with the body parts Of his boss who talked so tough As he pushed Blackie back in the hole He could hear the eagle cry Those echoed words once yelled by Blackie His proclamation of pride “I’m too smart for them No one knows I’m here I got away with the perfect crime I truly have no peers” “I’ll hide out here forever They’ll never find me here And the story of the perfect crime Will be told for many years – many years” I’ve got a story A story I want to tell Of a couple of gangsters Chicago - is where they dwelled The boss man was named Blackie And was as mean as they would come His sidekick was called Little One Everyone thought he was dumb Now Little One sits comfortably Under the warm Mexican sun Sipping on his tequila He ponders what he has done A smile appears upon his face And those words spin in his head The words once owned by Blackie Are now Little One’s instead “I’m too smart for them No one knows I’m here I got away with the perfect crime I truly have no peers” “I’ll hide out here forever And they’ll never find me here And my story of my perfect crime I will sing for many – many years” Copyright (c) Namesake Music, BMI www.NamesakeMusic.info
