Doodlysquat 03:22
lyrics

I got a saga Of a new world order Free to roam the earth Cause we dissolved the borders Our energy is free But still we have our hoarders But it's free Don't mean doodlysquat Jack This is a story Of a brand new beginning Watch out for each other It doesn't start with sinning The air is so fresh It's as good as prehistoric And we never need drugs Just to feel euphoric The water is pure As clean as a whistle The nukes eradicated No ballistic missiles We don't kill our trees And we don't dig for coal Removed all the damns Returned what we stole Cause nature should be free Though some want a toll But free is good Don't mean doodlysquat, Jack I'm singing this ballad Of a better world I'm not out of my mind There's wisdom in these pearls Economy is booming There's never been a bust And we've left misery Sobbing in the dust All of our kids are Spared from poverty And we pay attention To our elderly School is free wheeling We're learning all the time We strive to be creative And find our inner rhymes We don't eat meat We adore our pets And we don't make war So we don't have vets You can live carefree Though some want no nets But free is good Don't mean doodly squat, Jack Gonna tell a tale Of a better place Where we all pull together In the human race We try to live in peace To live in harmony We give of ourselves And act neighbourly All things are connected We're all one and the same And we understand We need the sun and the rain We take care of our poor We watch after those in need We look after our sick Our healthcare is free Free is good But it don't mean, Doodly squat, Jack Skeptics, Do I hear skeptics? I ain't no pollyanna This ain't pie in the sky But how can this be true And not a pack of lies Imagine if you might Taking one little step That's how it all starts We're gonna get there yet And kindness is free Oh yeah? Don't mean doodlysquat, Jack

Habit Like A Rabbit 02:28
lyrics

Got a habit like a rabbit And a choir of the wires From the bishop to the abbott On the sabbath they conspire Dr. Parrot cannot bear it He's a prickly porcupine Got a stick and a carrot Writes his scrip then runs them lines Must have been a bad mistake Seemed so real turned out fake Fill the ocean with a potion Put the saw inside the cake Huggit Fuggit Pass them lips around I say druggit Buggit Turn it upside down The conjecture of the lecture Raised the rafters to the roof The injection of confection Coat the sugar on the truth I don't care What your Mama say I don't care How you roll I don't care What your Mama say I don't care For your roll

Doctor Pleasure at your service With references aplenty I will bring you to orgasm Like an everready bunny I can see that you are nervous And you really shouldn't be Tilt your world on its own axis If you're looking to be free Doctor Pleasure my dear lady Doctor Pleasure in the flesh The Equator's getting hot So let me help me with your dress A spot of lubrication And I'm sure you will agree That I'm unlike any other Dear, you have my guarantee Doctor Pleasure at the ready I can keep you company I will always take your call When you think you'd like some cream You can text me day or night With your wildest fantasies Perchance you'd like to skype When you're on your hands and knees Doctor Pleasure my dear lady Recommended you must know Yes, the better business bureau Has me rated three ohhs ohhs I have many invitations And I'm always well received Tell them my good woman That they'll be so ever pleased Doctor Pleasure is my greeting And I'm always triple x I have those good vibrations That you'll be wanting next Dr.Pleasure on my card Dr. P that is my name I've had the requisite training Should you burst into hot flames I am the man of the hour A midnight speacialist You need not feign surprise When you feel my naughty kiss Doctor Pleasure have no doubt Comes just as advertised It's true just what they say It's the motion and the size So call me now without delay For a special meeting I'm looking forward to it You'll know me by my greeting Doctor Pleasure at the ready When you find it hard to sleep You will easily slide away Once we've done the midnight creep It's possible i must admit That you become addicted And the truth of the matter is There are many such afflicted Doctor Pleasure rest assured Will be ever so discrete For I am a gentleman And my silence is complete You can have your cake and eat it too Should those be your wishes And may I offer that you look Ravishingly delicious

The Hellion 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I've been round the world At least a time or two I've been gone so long. baby Since I've last seen you I've sailed the seven seas And wept upon their shores Slept under darkened skies Broke down all the doors The scars upon my face Frighten little ones But the ones etched upon my soul Would frighten everyone I've been waging war I've been spilling blood There's no end to the river And what rises from the mud Chorus You know I'm a hellion up from hades It's a rebellion for sin's wages I am the troublemaker who is contagious Dancing on the graves through the ages There's only so much time There's only so much light It's when you're running low That you begin to fight The priests speak of mercy The poets favour grace The pious say their prayers I assure them it's a waste I've worn a lot of faces Taken many names And there's scarcely any traces But you know me just the same I'm the ageless one Born to walk this earth Death was sworn to shun me From the day of my birth You know I'm a hellion up from hades It's a rebellion for sin's wages I am the troublemaker who is contagious Dancing on the graves through the ages The broken and the lost The beaten and the spurned They always turn to me What I fill them with it burns Drink from the lake of lust Bath in the spring of greed I spread it like a virus All this hatred that I breed Do exactly as you wish Take everything you want Leave no stone unturned, baby Find me in my haunt I know you are my queen We share the same desire If I said I had enough Well, you know I am a lier You know I'm a hellion up from hades It's a rebellion for sin's wages I am the troublemaker who is contagious Dancing on the graves through the ages

Out amongst the stars Floating here in space Gazing down at you Upon your blue blue face I thought I had escaped The pull of your blue world But I feel it still I'm drawn to you girl When I look away Up here in the void I'm just a little speck Amongst the asteroids You live upon an island Amidst a vast,dark sea And when I'm dreaming girl I hear you calling me It's a blue blue world That we're living in It's a blue blue world From the first breath to the end Out amongst the stars Floating here in space I am mesmerized By your cool blue face I thought I had escaped From your gravity But I feel it still I feel you pulling me It's a blue blue world That we're living in It's a blue blue world From the first breath to the end It's a blue blue world That we're living in It's a blue blue world From the first breath to the end

I've got a cure for cancer I've got a cure for the blues I've got a cure for sickness Ahh, but I ain't got a cure for you I've got a cure for war I think it's long overdue I've got a cure for hurting But I ain't never found a cure for you I've got a cure for drinking I've got a cure for pills too I've got a cure for needles But there ain't no cure for you I've got a cure for politicians I'm gonna leave a little clue I've got a cure for propagana But I ain't got a cure for you I've got a cure for cancer I've got a cure for the blues I've got a cure I've got a cure I've got a cure for everything But I damn sure ain't got a cure for you I've got a cure for cancer I've got a cure for the blues I've got a cure for every damn thing But I ain't got no damn cure for you No no no No No No No no no No No No

When I get up I open my eyes The songbirds cheer as the sun starts to rise I greet the day and all that will come Grab myself a coffee and I start to hum Life is sweet sing the little birdies Don't get your shorties in a curly whirly Oh life is sweet sing the little birdies Don't get your knickers in a knot Or in a curly whirly There's a little red bird knocks on my pane Says get on out before it starts to rain Throw the sashes open take a good look around Breathe in deep inhale the sights and sounds Chorus I stroll around greeting all my neighbours I'm sending good vibes with plenty left for later The smell of fresh baked pies fill me with delight That feeling you get when everything is right Chorus Watch out for the quicksand look out for the ruts Keep moving forward or you'll get stuck When people get down I try and lift em higher I lend a helping hand and pull them from the briars Chorus Time to savour tasty and throw out the sour It's in our attitude so who's got the power So when I get up I open my eyes And the songbirds cheer as the sun starts to rise

Some sunny songs, some darkers songs.

Here's a lyric video for one of the sunny songs - Curly Whirly youtu.be/P_0oJt2jG-s

credits

released January 7, 2016

Does anyone out there miss liner notes? I know I do, but most music lovers nowadays probably don't miss what they never had. Here are some liner notes anyway.

The first two SIRR records (Prize and Plus) were excluively one person productions. On CHARGE! I started to seek some help for things I couldn't do, or do verywell, on my own, and was fortunate to have guitarist Mark Hill start lending his extraordinary talent to a number of the songs. On this record you can hear the full fruition of our work together.

All songs written by SIRR, which means all melodies and lyrics by SIRR. While I also acted as producer/arranger, the songs would not be what they are without Mark Hill, Paul Healey, Irlenn (via Wikiloops), and Enoe, Bill and Raine O'Connor also made contributions along with Sarah Mullin. Mark and Paul in particular are collaborators of mine who add very creative and essential elements to the songs.

Guitars on Tracks 1-4,6,8,and 9 by Mark Hill.

Bass on Track 9 by Paul Healey.

Moog on Tracks 3 and 6 by Bill O'Connor.

Background vocals on track 7 by Raine O'Connor and Sarah Mullin.

I started exploring the world of sounds loops posted here, there and everywhere on the internet under Creative Common licences. While I always strove to write all kinds of different sounding songs, using these loops to help me write songs broadened what I do to an even more considerable degree. I want to thank the folks who made these short loops - and while I don't have any real names, I can pass on credit to the extent any information is known.

The guitar loop on Doctor Pleasure attributed to Enoe - Guitar Loop Riff 4 117. Many thanks.

Most of the percussion on Doodlysquat and all of the percussion on Curly Whirly are attributed to Irlenn from Wikiloops. That man created some wonderful latin flavoured percussion tracks, particularly Boss Nova and Samba tracks. I have little doubt that I will be writing other songs using his work in the future.

Blue World also uses a guitar loop but I no longer know the source, I can't even find the loop itself anymore. I should have been organized so as to have kept this information. My bad. But I'll publicly acknowledge and thank whoever came up with that guitar figure - as soon as I heard it it called to me and I knew I wanted to try and write something with it.

The title - it'll end up meaning whatever it means to people, the same with the songs. For me it means people. We're complex, lots of layers, and lots of layers of lies. Personal mythology is a common term about how we think of ourselves, but notice the term mythology. But I'll add that in every lie, some sort of truth is also revealed. Every fiction writer knows this. It's the paradox of lying. Yes it obscures one sort of truth, but it always reveals another.

So we are all Liar Cake. You, me. Your mommy and your daddy. Little sister and big brother too. All those layers of cake and frosting. So yummy. Because cake is good. So have a slice. Hell have two. After all, the man said let them eat cake. Liar Cake of course.
