"Certain of the Truth" by Wolf Kier
copyright Wolf Kier 2012 2013 2022
I was certain of the truth
until just today
when I found a daisy
underneath my
windscreen wiper blade
I was shattered, I was rattled
I was harried, I was stirred
Could that daisy mean
that the ghost of love
would soon return
to me?
And I know that no one else
could have left it there
except for you
you fiend, you ghoul!
Are you back to complicate my days?
Are you back to stimulate my nights?
Are you back to bring me back to life?
Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
Are you back to bring me back to life?
I was certain of the truth
until today
I was certain of the truth
that you had left me in my cave
with a fire and a rock
and a bearskin artist's smock
Left to holler and to groan
at the dinosaurs and Gods
and scratch pictures of you
in the wall with a stone.
But now you return
you fiend, you ghoul!
you fiend, you ghoul!
Are you back to complicate my days? Hell hound!
Are you back to stimulate my nights? Monster!
Are you back to bring me back to life? Help me?
Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
I was certain of the truth
until today.
Now there you stand
in all your glory
A revelation, with trepidation
Will you stay for good this time?
A second coming, silent running,
but that's another story....
ba bara ba ba ba...
I was certain of the truth
until you turned back
towards that door
You'd come back to see...
To watch me in my misery
And now you disappear again
You fiend, you ghoul!
Monster!
You just came back to complicate my days
And haunt me every night (monster!)
Now I'm certain of the truth
One more time....
Help me! Hell hound!
ba bara ba ba ba.....
ba bara ba ba BAAAAA.....

Nevermore (I Swear, I Swore) by Wolf Kier
Copyright Wolf Kier 2016 2022
I'm sorry that you feel like that
I'm listening you want me back
We've been here once or twice before
I swear, I swore, nevermore
I swear, I swore, nevermore
I swear, I swore, nevermore
I swear, I swore, nevermore
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
I swear, I swore, I swear, I swore,
nevermore, nevermore
Something salty on your lips
That ain't the taste of fish'n'chips
This hound dog been around too long
Say Picaso, it rhymes with....++++
I swear, I swore, nevermore
I swear, I swore, nevermore
I swear, I swore, nevermore
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
I swear, I swore, I swear, I swore,
nevermore, nevermore
You stand in my doorway (nevermore...)
Hope ain't the cure (nevermore...)
I swear I swore last time (nevermore...)
(nevermore...)
Wake up!
The crucifix burns where it touches your skin
If Satan came calling, baby, you'd let him in
I'm listening, you want me back
I'm sorry that you feel like that
I swear, I swore, nevermore
I swear, I swore, nevermore
I swear, I swore, nevermore
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
I swear, I swore, I swear, I swore,
nevermore, nevermore
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
nevermore, nevermore
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
nevermore, nevermore

Fashion Demands by Wolf Kier
copyright wolf kier 2012-2013-2022
She got a brand new pair of shoes
I know cos I got the bill
They better be a pretty fancy pair of f+++ing shoes
because I ain't eaten meat in at least 3 weeks.
She says, "well fashion demands"
I said, "I'll do what I can, baby."
She got a brand new sports car
A sports car she does not drive
Because her fancy fortune teller told her
That a sports car is how she's gonna die
GONNA DIE
She says "but fashion demands!"
I said I'll do what I can, baby.
And what fashion demands
Of course, you gotta have
and if fashion says jump
Then some magazine will tell you
How high and how far
but it certainly won't tell you
how to survive
when you hit the ground
when you hit the ground
when you hit the ground
And my girl knew how to hit the ground running
She got a brand new boyfriend
I saw them on the news
And I could not help but notice
the bitch was still wearing
those shoes that I paid for
Shoes she could not afford
In a month of Sundays
But if that's what fashion demands
I'll do all that I can
to laugh
If that's what fashion demands
I'll do all that I can
I'll do all that I can
just to laugh out loud, yeah.

"Above the Rubble Waits the Sky" by Wolf Kier wk027
copyright Wolf Kier 2013 2022
Ah? ah ha ma.... ma
no no no no no
I'm buried in the rubble
and only one eye can see out
I can see the sky
but I can't speak or shout
no no no no no
I can't scream or shout, I can't
They say that in the sky
reside both meteors and heaven
but the questions that I need to ask
concern neither
I can't
I can't scream or shout
I can't, no?
I can't scream or sh-
out out out out sh-out shout shout
A tornado it came calling
that's what got me in this jam
I can see the sky
but I can't feel either hand
my time is covered over
I can't feel either hand
I wait for blessed saviors
every woman every man
no no no no no...
I can't scream or
I can't scream or
I can't scream or speak
I can't scream or sh-
no no no no no ah ah
Goodness knows but he won't tell
If this jam is just my living hell
and in a moment of real weakness
I allow myself to weep (weep)
but only goodness knows (weep weep)
and he won''t tell (sh.................)
I can't scream or shout
I can't scream or sh....out
I can't scream or shout
no no no no no ah ah
no no no no no
no no no no no
ah? no.

"Said the Monkey to the Chimpanzee" by Wolf Kier
copyright 2012 2022 Wolf Kier
I saw it on the TV
and I had the sound turned down
"we're off to war" the caption read
politicians gathered round
And the children packed their underwear
and rode off on a train
and we'll never see
their sorry innocent asses again
What if this is?
What if this is?
What if this is?
The war that we don't win
What if this is?
What if this is?
What if this is?
The war that we don't win
One two three four
let's go fight another war
"sink or swim"
said the monkey to the chimpanzee
Now the desert sands are swarming
with a million sorry souls
armed with only video controllers
and out of juice cell phones
while the people back home
shoot each other for a dime
and the banks are holding empty homes
and reneging on all their loans
What if this is....?
What if this is?
What if this is?
What if this is?
The war that we don't win
What if this is?
What if this is?
What if this is?
The war that we don't win
One two three four
let's go fight another war
"sink or swim"
said the monkey to the chimpanzee
Solo
Said the monkey to the chimpanzee
"You don't look nothing like me
but we can both act like human beings
if we try"
ha ha ha ha
Said the chimpanzee, the smarter breed,
"Not on my time, no, siree!
A human cannot act like me
I never dropped a nuke"
What if this is?
What if this is?
"Those humans make me puke!"
What if this is?
The war that we don't win
What if this is?
What if this is?
What if this is?
The war that we don't win
One two three four
let's go fight another war
"sink or swim"
said the monkey to the chimpanzee
One two Three
Oh!

"Overlload" by Wolf Kier
copyright Wolf Kier 2012 2013 2022
Awf! Cha cha cha cha
If I'm in overload forgive me. Ow!
If I hit the road forgive me
I'm learning to sleep
with 27 people in my bathroom
wandering in my bedroom
any time they please
I'm learning to speak
with dead people talking at me
filling up my head
with all the things that they once said
How hard can it be?
How hard can it be?
If I'm in overload forgive me.
If I hit the road forgive me
I'm hanging on a bough
Blowin' in the wind
Waiting on a sound
Maybe I"m waiting on a jet plane
To get me out of here
To get me out of overload
I'm learning how to keep
my focus on the road
despite the danger signs
Speeding up way too fast
I'm focused on that
sweet distant tomorrow
Where peace might
just be mine at last!
and noise in my head
Is left far behind
If I'm in overload forgive me.
If I hit the road forgive me
Overload.
If I leave here
the 27 people
living in my bathroom
will have to
find another
place to
congregate
And if I leave here
the multitude of dead folks
stuck between my ears
will have to
move along
to the oblivion
where they belong
Move along..
Move along...
Cha cha cha cha
I'm learning how to juggle
the diverse pharmaceuticals
modern medicine's miracles
and keep an even keel
I'm learning how to speak
only when spoken to
only when I'm paid to do
on bleeding heart TV chat shows.
Ouch!
If I'm in overload forgive me.
If I hit the road forgive me
I'm hanging on a bough
Blowin' in the wind
If I'm in overload forgive me.
If I hit the road forgive me
Waiting on a sound
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Maybe I'm waiting on a jet plane
To get me out of here
To get me out of overload
Cha cha cha cha.

"TILT" by Wolf Kier wk031
copyright Wolf Kier 2013, 2022
Did you laugh? Did you smile?
Did you frown? Did you cry?
Did you do all that today?
Did you tilt the record machine?
I can't tell you how to live your life
I won't be here when the mud starts to slide
Did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you?
Did you stop to wonder why? I wonder.
The holy man's gun in the dresser it hides?
Did you tilt the record machine?
I can't tell you how to live your life
I won't be here when the worlds collide
Through the holy mysteries of our redemption, may almighty God release you from all punishments in this life and in the life to come.
May he open to you the gates of paradise and welcome you to everlasting joy.
JOY JOY
Did you laugh? Did you smile?
Did you frown? Did you cry?
Did you do all that today?
Did you tilt the record machine?
I can't tell you how to live your life
I won't be here when the mud starts to slide
Did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you?
Did you stop to wonder why? I wonder.
The holy man's gun in the dresser it hides?
Did you tilt the record machine?

"Crawlspace" by Wolf Kier
copyright wolf kier 2010-2016 2022
Quick
Quick up the stairs
Before she knows
Fine line drawn
Between our souls
We share this house
We share this
Bed
We made a child
Out of lightning we said
We signed a pact
In ink red with blood
No separation when
Death comes to call
No heaven will dilute our
Love
I float here in this crawlspace
I dwell here in this half place
She lives here with a sad face
My lips are stitched
My spirit detached
No heaven will
Steal my love
Steal my love
Quick
Quick to the wall
She passes me by
Fine line is drawn
Between wind and the sky
We were one
I am none
A whisper on her neck
And I am done.
We knew the earth and we knew the sky
We knew the water and we knew the fire
We knew the passions rich with delight
We knew a bond beyond all desire
I float here in this crawlspace
I dwell here in this half place
She lives here with a sad face
My lips are stitched
My spirit detached
No heaven will
Steal my love
Steal my love
Steal my love

A Dark and Sinister Spice by Wolf Kier
Copyright Wolf Kier 2011 2014 2022
A dark and sinister spice
It runs right through this life
Gives tools to fools who choose
our future
Two wrongs don't make a right
Two clowns in costumes fight
No rules for those who choose
our future
A dark and sinister spice
We all know that sacrifice
Each time we set aside
Our dreams for what we
don't need
Hopes lost to monotony
Dreams crushed by vicious greed
Love chained to misery
Who's got the time to breathe?
World turns for those who hate
Time stops for those who wait
Move now, don't hesitate
into the future
A dark and sinister spice
We all know that sacrifice
Each time we set aside
Our dreams for what we
don't need
Every day we eat it up eat it up
It ain't food
but we eat it up eat it up
Everyday we eat it up
It ain't air and it ain't water,
It ain't food
but we eat it up eat it up
eat it up, eat it up....
She works right through the night
Her children live in fright
What hope is there for
the future?
World turns for those who hate
Time stops for those who wait
Move now, don't hesitate
into the future
the future...future.
A dark and sinister spice
We all know that sacrifice
Each time we set aside
Our dreams for what we
don't need
A dark and sinister spice
We all know that sacrifice
Each time we set aside
Our dreams for what we
don't need

Lover Come Quick by Wolf Kier
Copyright 2014 2022 Wolf Kier wk066
Lover come quick
I can't sleep without by my side
I got the weight of the world astride me
It's all bump and grind
Lover come quick
Been on so long this man, this man is gonna fade
Lover hurry up and...
Pull your hair back, pack the trunk,
Close your eyes, and lay down next to me
Please, lover come quick
Lover come quick
Can't you see that all this to-ing and fro-ing is wearing me
Lover come quick
I've seen the dawn too many times this week
Lover come quick
I need you beside me if I'm gonna sleep
Pull your hair back, pack the trunk,
Close your eyes, and lay down next to me
Please, lover come quick
Is that the bed head knocking on the bedroom wall?
You got the "to do" list, baby? I think we done it all :)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.... come quick.
Lover come quick
I love you like a madman, but the sandman's calling
Lover come quick
I got a train to catch, I got bills to pay,
I can't make love all night and then work all day
Lover come quick, baby baby
Pull your hair back, pack the trunk,
Close your eyes, and lay down next to me
PLEASE! lover come quick
Pull your hair back, pack the trunk,
Close your eyes, and lay down next to me
oh please, lover come quick.

Not This Time by Wolf Kier wk042
Copyright Wolf Kier 2013 2022
Girl, please don't be mean to me,
Kisses are all I need
Something to set me free
You can pretend on me
NOT THIS TIME
baby please don't go
please turn around
Swear on a pack of bibles
This is the big revival
Gonna change my ways
Gonna turn it around
Oh, I thought I'd seen it all
Pride it comes before the fall
Love ain't no apple pie
This time I wanna try
To find forever in this madness
Can you believe in this make believe?
Can you pretend to believe in this make believe?
Baby I ain't lying
Keep my feelings deep inside
This time I ain't hidin' hiding
Not this time.
Oh, I thought I'd seen it all
Pride it comes before the fall
You be on the high horse
I be on the sidewalk
Of course it's gonna rain again
Of course I feel the pain again
Nothing I can do, to keep from loving you
No no
Not this time
No
You be movin like a moonlit night
Slow and steady wins the race
I got your face in my hands
I'm coming in, coming in
for a kiss
Oh, I thought I'd seen it all
Pride it comes before the fall
Oh, I thought I'd seen it all
Fear makes critics of us all
This time I must confess
I caused this whole big mess
I didn't see that you needed more
than I had to give
I needed you to live
Please try to forgive
Girl, please don't be mean to me,
Kisses are all I need
Something to set me free
You can pretend on me

Good Enough by Wolf Kier
Copyright 2016-2022
I been walking in a straight line
Trying to keep my nose clean
You been talking up my bad side
And trying to stain my name
And it wouldn't hurt so much
If I didn't need to touch you
If I didn't need so much of you
If this ain't good enough
It's never gonna be
good enough
for me
I been minding up my manners
You know I watch my ps and qs
I eat my cake with a fork
And my ice cream with a spoon
I'll do anything it takes
Just as long as I'm with you
I need the touch of ya
I need so much of ya
If this ain't good enough
It's never gonna be
good enough
for me
Good enough-a!
We been talking round in circles
We been chasin' up our tails
And for every happy couple
there's a thousand who fail
And I wouldn't think so much
To shut this coffin with a nail
If I didn't think so much of ya
If I didn't need so much of ya
If this ain't good enough
It's never gonna be
good enough
for me

Periphery by Wolf Kier
copyright 2020 2022
I can't believe that you spent all that time
on the periphery, watching me
At the edge of my dreams,
on the edge of my dreams.
What did you see when you spent all that time
on the periphery, watching me?
Did you see me do wrong?
Did you see me do wrong?
You saw that part of me
That darkest heart of me
On the edge of my dreams,
on the edge of my dreams.
You got me open wide
You've seen me deep inside
Did you see me do wrong?
Did you see me do wrong?
On the edge of my dreams,
Did you see me do wrong?
On the edge of my dreams,
Oh?
Did you see me do wrong?
When did love become the fbi?
when did love become the cia?
when did love become the irs?
Do you love me any more?
Could you love me any less, now?
I'm in the jailhouse now
Knee deep in love somehow
On the edge of my dreams,
on the edge of my dreams.
You tore me open wide
You looked down deep inside
did you see me do wrong?
Did you see me do wrong?
I can't believe that you spent all that time
on the periphery, watching me
On the edge of my dreams,
on the edge of my dreams.
What did you see when you spent all that time
on the periphery watching me
did you see me do wrong?
Did you see me do wrong?
