Ya Ho - One Man Clapping
I nearly died when you jumped in But you had to drown before you could swim All the people on the beach, they were so impressed That they wanted to join you but no they wouldn’t undress Oh there, that wetness, splashed their skin So they prayed for a whirlpool to pull you in Ya […]

To be loving when the knives are out Takes much courage and a mind without doubt I’m just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk Trying to impress is the nature of my work And it’s so hard to remain open If it’s true, it can’t be spoken Really hard Really hard Rhetoriticians think they’re […]
Leaking - One Man Clapping
I’m leaking down the left side Oh god no, i hope it doesn’t show But somebody’s getting a mouth full of the emperor’s new clothes. I’m leaking down the left side No one can see my gallbladder’s burst and so has my spleen. Leg and an arm and a leg and a arm… I’m leaking […]
