Mandolin
words & music: Polar Levine vocal & instruments: P
Demo
---------------------------------------------- Mandolin, do your dance. Baby, do it with me 'Cause the night is red. Yeah, we're chemistry Mandolin, are we lost in a jam Like dolphins at sea Our music in the air. Yeah, it's harmony
Mandolin, are we lost in a jam Like dolphins at sea Bridge: There's a concert in my heart Since the day I first heard you, Baby It's a song, it needs a part And it's waiting for you 'Cause I'm so in love with you Yeah, I'm so in love with you Yeah, I'm so in love with you
Mandolin, is this my last affair - The one true tool for me Our song is in the air. Yeah, we're harmony
My mandolin, do your dance. Baby do it with me 'Cause the night is red. Yeah, we're chemistry
Hot And Dry
words & music: Polar Levine vocal & instruments: Polarity/1 Demo
----------------------------------------------- There's desire in your eye and combat in your high Let's call it greed. Let's call it off There's something else you need I'm not in this for the therapy I'm not paying for your fantasy I'm not your private piece of the rock
Chorus: You mistake me for the rain 'Cause you're hot and dry I'm not the rain I'm no't what you need Love's not here to make us bleed When you know who you are When you know what to call your pain You'll see me around And we'll stare down the eye of your hurricane But till then... stop calling me
There's a knot to be untied when the spirit is denied So let's set it free. Let's let it go It's best to say goodbye I don't want a love that's out of key Lots of rhythm but no harmony The kind that comes with a chain and lock
Chorus
A Dog Named Lou
words & music: Polar Levine vocal & guitar: Polarity/1
Demo
---------------------------------------------- Two times two A dog named Lou A smack across the chin A needle, thread and pin
I'm talking to my mother She's talking to her little brother He was sixty when he died a few years ago The numbers on her meter are all aglow She's technically alive. Two times two is five
A wagon full of fruit. Laughing in her bathing suit She can't get up or walk to the bathroom Now she's screaming, "I lived a life, now I'm ready to go, please let me go Those bastards say No. Where's Lou? Who the hell are you?"
The dog named Lou The kangaroo The dolphins jump and dive The bees in their hive They don't waste a minute pondering Who put them there, they're just being alive
They don't need tales about eternity Or comforting mythology They don't impose sanctity To force her heart to pump until it's Too late... too late To hold us in her arms and say goodbye A room full of strangers - we watch her crumble and die
Lone Ranger In The Rain
words & music: Polar Levine vocal and guitar: Polarity/1
Rough demo
----------------------------------------------
Lone Ranger in the rain searching for a virgin vein Long Dong Novocaine Is nodding through the hurricane More money, more honey More honkin', more tonkin' Still bangin' that good-guy theme But it just ain't like the good ol' team
No more Tonto to boss around No one to clean the camping ground No one to hold when the night is long Kemosabe no more strong Coyotes howl, bad guys prowl Feed the horse, stay the course The lonesome sun is going down Just can't trust no injun clown Chorus: Oh Tonto, you were his boy You left the masked man so lonely without his toy You never had his taste for the law And helping the paleface rape the squaw So move on, move on, Native Son Go on - you be the Righteous One Do it, do it. Do it, do it - be The One Do it. Yeah, you be The One Go on - be The One
Ain't no more cowboy scene A mask is just for Halloween Lone Ranger in the rain A silver bullet to ease the pain
Roll the credits, roll and splice Roll them suckers, roll the dice Tonto now deals the jack and spade Believes he's no more being played
Demo
------------------------------------------------ Green is to go and red's to stop The lights are there to make the pressure drop Things do get slow, so damn slow I forget where I was trying to go
Like a fast-moving train doing time in the rain Red light won't do, I'll invent a new lane Can't stand where I'm going. Too big a load But if I'm not there soon I'm gonna explode Chorus: How the hell do I keep this pace? How the hell did I get into this race? If I were you and you were me We'd be chewing the chain link fence to get free Of this traffic and all the congestion This crazy driver, crazy driver This crazy driver needs a new direction
Time to slow down to avoid a collision Gotta stop all the drama - just make a decision Been pushin' the mountain, pushin' too far Who's in control, the driver or the car?
Green is to go and red's to stop The lights, they're just some kind of prop I'm a crazy driver, so I've been told Got to be the only junk on the road
Chorus
One More Rain
words and music: Polar Levine vocal, guitar, ambience: Polarity/1 Demo
---------------------------------------
I was born in the winter on a chilly day Eighty degrees and going down The sun was laughin' as it dropped away Behind the Statue of Liberty's crown The New York Yankees were a baseball team From my home town so long ago Before they left to go way up north Where sometimes in winter they still get snow
Chorus: One more rain... One more rain... One more day of rain... You can see out the window all you need to know The water's rising, it's time to go
Mama reached New York at a real young age From a place called San Antonio Grabbed her dolly while the water's rage Busted the gates of the Alamo
So many left and moved up here Broke and muddy, without a home An empty old ruin is where they'd stay Till old Yankee Stadium got washed away
Chorus Way far back, a scared little boy Crossed the ocean on a mighty ship A giant green lady said, "Now you're home" Pointed to Manhattan with her fingertip
I read all about the old Broadway People used to walk there, right on the ground Now that giant lady the little boy saw Is standing in the water up to her jaw
Chorus
My grandma told it a hundred times They warned for years 'bout the coming change Politicians did nothing while it all got worse Puppies on the leash of the corporate purse
Chorus: One more rain... One more rain... One more day of rain... You can see out the window all you need to know The water is rising, it's time to go One more rain... One more rain... One more day of rain... You can see out the window all you need to know Take a last look around, it's time to go
I was born in the winter on a chilly day Eighty degrees and going down Never been that cold since then I'm tired of thinkin' bout what might've been
Daddy Was An Asshole
words & music: Polar Levine vocal & instruments: Polarity/1
Demo
------------------------------------------------ Daddy was an asshole, an asshole to his core Made me laugh on his good days But an asshole evermore
It was George Jones, James Brown Coltrane, Celia Cruz Rock and rap and ragas, flamenco, reggae, blues What kind of horn did Bird play? Who wrote the Blue Suede Shoes? Daddy was an asshole. There are no undos
Chorus: Daddy was an asshole. Today he is the same Had music in his belly and pictures in his brain He made me practice every day Each day I'd hate him more Made me laugh on his good days But an asshole evermore
Picasso and the cubists and Salvador Dali Dada and abstraction and anthropology Metaphors and dinosaurs, philosophers and funk Daddy was an asshole and I hate all his junk
Then I had my own son. I swore I'd do it right Gave him video games and candy bars Cartoons and Bud Lite I taught him how to monster burp Steal bicycles and fight Now he's reading fuckin Menken And bangin' drums all night
My kid, he's an asshole, and I'm an asshole's son Three green peas in a green pea soup I'm the only normal one I pimp roll in Armani and subprime is my trade Daddy was an asshole, but me - I'm gettin' paid
