This World
This world she reaches up to me
a thousand ways from the ground beneath my feet
She tells me stay and let the fools move on
another day, and they'll all be gone
Hope and fear, I'm fighting these tears
the constant conflict overwhelms me
it sometimes brings me down
When they're near I'm feeling no fear
cause there's one that will support me
she never let's me down
This world...
Hope and fear, I'm fighting these tears
the constant conflict overwhelms me
it sometimes brings me down
When they're near I'm feeling no fear
cause there's one that will support me
she never let's me down
This world... she calls out to me
a thousand sighs from beneath the city streets
In her eyes I watch the fools move on
such angry lives, and then they're all gone.

Naked Greed
For all their pretty gold chains and costumes
the face of naked greed, never looks good on anyone
Let's see many times can you call your own women bitches
and whores and say the N-word in a song
you rub our noses in your wealth, every chance you get,
with brands you love, you taught us luxury is not all wrong,
and now you come begging hat in hand, look for charity when
in your own lives, the sum of what you gave us adds to none,
oh look at all the shareholders, they're all a fluttah, claim that
what you do is like some droppings from the sun,
as having failed so hard in the world, you try to make a
new one where you can be a king in your own pond

Scraps of Love
Here I come, out of the cold
of sniffing those posts it's feeling just a bit old
It's the same thing every day
I think in doggy terms and hope this one's better some way
I notice a smell it's something cooking
The stove is lit and I'm hoping and looking
I'd like to eat a full course if I was able
but I'm not allowed to eat at the human table
I'm on the ground, I'm on the floor
I've got the big eyes, I'm begging for scraps of love
I'm at your feet, I'm at the door
My tongue is hanging out, hoping for scraps of love..
scraps of love..
Here I am, I've got a wet dog smell
I was messing in the garbage and you can tell
You know it's the same thing every day
I think in fuzzy logic so I hope this one's better some way
Once again I smell that smell, there's something cooking
The stove is lit and I'm hoping and looking
The hunger is like my tail when I wanna catch it
It's an unbearable itch but I can never scratch it
Round and around and around I go!
I'm on the ground, I'm on the floor
I've got the big eyes, I'm begging for scraps of love
I'm at your feet, I'm at the door
My tongue is hanging out, hoping for scraps of love..
scraps of love..

It Might be the Sun
It might be the sun, it might be the rain
that brings me to you today
It might be the wind is calling out my name
It makes me feel this way
It makes me feel...
It might be your sand falling through your hand
that pulls me from far away
It might be your sky shining with your stars
Whatever it is, I'm here today
Whatever it is, I'm here today
Whatever it is...

Me and My Dog
Take a look at my dog
He'll put a smile on your face
But if I leave him too alone he'll run crazy,
tear up the whole place
He rips up my stuff if I don't love him enough!
And he brings me to woe
with all his endless drama show
But he's my dog,
such a funny dog
such a funny, crazy dog
he's my dog.
Take a look at my dog
He's the happiest dog I know
So I don't understand why he has to
hump his bed-blanket in the snow
He'll f*ck it so much til his tail is falling off!
He puts me off my lunch if I happen to be eating
while he's effing in the frost
But he's my dog,
such a happy dog
such a happy, humping dog
he's my dog.
Take a look at my dog
He's got the biggest heart
so I'll never understand
why he has to kill every squirrel in the park
He'll eat their guts til I'm weeping at the gore!
and he brings me all to grief
when he tries to track blood in the back door
But he's my dog,
such a loving dog
such a loving, killer dog
he's my dog....

My Sexy Car
I drive a sexy car
And as I do it holds me secure
in the joy of leather seats
and computer-controlled climate and entertainment
And as I drive my sexy car
I thread these destinations on a string
crush space beneath shiny rims into a single thread
of time and information
And every woman who beholds me
as I ride in my sexy car
wishes she could fellate me!
And every man turns away,
conscious of his social inferiority
In my sexy car...
I burn the remains of dinosaurs
in the heart of my sexy car
And sometimes I drive for hours on whim
For driving a car soothes my mechanical soul
In my sexy car... my sexy car
And should I pass a bum on the road
I can feel safe in my sexy car
For the vulgar ugliness of humanity can't reach me
as I pass by behind these forged steel walls!
In my sexy car... my sexy car
my sexy car
And as I reflect upon my sexy car
every woman ever I've loved fades away
For who needs the drama of human love
when they have the warm embrace and flawless beauty
of mechanical perfection?
my sexy car

Girl That I Love
Would you like to see a picture of the girl that I love?
Would you like to see a picture of the girl that I love?
that I love...
that I love
Would you like to see a picture of the girl that I love?
Would you like to see a picture of the girl that I love?
that I love
that I love
I hold her picture close to my heart
Til I'm the last one there saying I love you, I love her
I turn to her picture when things fall apart
Cause she's never there, it's all I can do
Would you like to see a picture of the girl that I love?
Would you like to see a picture of the girl that I love?
that I love...
that I love
Would you like to see a picture of the girl that I love?
It's time to see a picture of the girl that I love?
that I love...
that I love
that I love...
I'm holding her picture close to the depths of my heart
Cause I was the last one there saying I love you, I loved her
I'm turning her picture away when my world falls apart
Cause she's never there, it's all I can do
that I love...

A Better World
We're standing here in hope of a better world
We raise our glass to the future I can see in your dark eyes
We're waiting here to catch a ride to a better world
The bus is late and I think it's about time it arrive
We're standing here in hope of a better world
We raise our glass to the future I can see shining in your eyes
We're waiting here to catch a ride to a better world
It's getting late and I worry that it will never arrive
never arrive...
Even through the thick and thin,
life throws us ugly chances and turns
and we still move on... fighting the sickness,
the worst ones are within
The bad programming of a million years
possesses our minds and dances!
Twin diseases of religion and rage,
while others look on with sick love
Hush now little baby don't you say a word
Daddy's gonna make everything alright
Hush now my little darling you are my world
Daddy's gonna protect you til he dies (dies)
Hush now little baby don't you say a word
Daddy's gonna make everything alright
Hush now my little darling you are my world
It won't be long until we arrive
We're standing here in hope of a better world...

monksolo New York, New York
A lot of my songs reward patience and unfold in interesting ways.
My music comes
from a place where post-punk attitude meets modern electronica/sampling and electric guitar. I am always trying to push boundaries.
Here you will find a wide variety of styles, sometimes across a single album.
