BEFORE I DIE
when I was just a young boy
they made me go to school
not just to learn my ABCs,
there were other kinds
of rules
I was told about a Hidden World,
all around that
you can’t see
and a battle that’s been
raging on for all Eternity
evil forces Everywhere, and
One man to protect you
and All will be Revealed
after you’ve died.I had to memorize the Word,
and know all of the Books
if I said I hadn’t heard of them,
I got disapproving looks
They talked about how everything
was something to be feared
I realized something was wrong
in the space between their ears
Satan gets into your mind
through your imagination!
And All will be Revealed
after you’ve died. Now I don’t think of Virtue
As something you receive
By turning up on Sundays
Just to show that you believe
The greatest people on the earth
would lead a Righteous cause
without a thought for Afterlife
or concern for ancient Laws
living in the Here and Now
aware my time is passing
Inspires me to live before I die

Heartbreak

you saw me standing there
in the midst of a wreck,
you were my Heartbreak, baby
you didn’t understand how a girl
like me could be there
if someone read my mind,
they’d know your the kind
to make my knees shake, baby
I spent so long alone, I thought that I wouldn’t care
I’m feeling my heart break
I want you all to myself
if you could understand
you’re the only man
to make my heart ache, baby
if you could understand
my fate can’t get any worse
if you could only see
I’m not just in this
for my sake, baby
then maybe you could see
you’re the key
to lifting the curse
I’m feeling my heart break
knowing we’ll keep you here,
all to ourselves
come back, be at my side
they can open our minds so wide
live your life in fantasies and fables
come back, be with me now
they can set us both free somehow
all your deepest dreams
will be enabled
they hold your salvation!
and your liberation -
in refuge underground
find the whole universe

Marlena

when I looked in your eyes
Marlena
bluer than desert skies
Marlena
you gave me your heart
how could you know
I’d turn away and hurt you so?
I left you far behind,
down at the end of the road
Oh, Marlena...
I took you down to the Valley of Roses
we celebrated all through the night
in Kalaat M’Gouna we found our way
to a corner of paradise
and I sang to you,
sang ‘til the morning light
and I’ll sing to you,
all the days of my life
When you looked in my eyes
Marlena
I ignored all your cries
Marlena
You gave me your heart
I didn’t know
your love was mine,
body and soul
but now I feel the pain,
standing here all on my own -
Oh Marlena!
Listen
I threw it all away
when I returned to the Valley of Roses
the people there had all taken flight
there was no sign of you,
or the city I knew
they’d left under cover of night
and I sang to you,
sang ‘til the morning light
and I’ll sing to you
all the days of my life

Silver City

|

|
silver city,
the land of my birth
slowly disappearing
a hole in the earth
you can’t thrive there
you barely can live
and the people who stay there
have nothing to give
some of them thought
they’d start over
they didn’t come here
to suffer
without purpose,
life slows to a crawl
rebuilding the houses
we made out of straw
make a new home
in the desert
all alone
out in the plain
parched earth and
abandoned mines
their dreams are
all that remain

kids all like to go
hear that funky sound,
take a look around,

not just for dinner
then off to a show
you might think it’s quiet
when you go downtown
but there’s a whole scene happening underground
my town baby,
it’s got a scene
now don’t stay at home
and stare at a screen
we’ve got rockin’ rhtyhms,
some blues and jazz
and it’s the best place to be
in western Mass
hear that funky sound,
take a look around,
everybody will be getting down
take a look and see
in the 413
I said it’s My Town
written/arranged:
benjamin miner
my town, baby, you oughta know
it’s where all the cool kids are startin’ to go
my town baby, every night and day
my town, listen what I’ve
got to say
hear that funky sound,
take a look around,
everybody will be getting down
my town baby,
it’s the place to be
my town fits
everyone to a tee
my town baby,

what I’ve got to say
take a look and see

kiss me, kiss me, kiss me -
babe now don’t you wanna
kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
yeah- yeah yeah yeah!
I went with you to the gallery
I’m lookin’ at the paintings
but you were lookin’ at me
I turned to you,
but you looked away
I don’t know what to do
‘cuz I don’t know if you wanna
kiss me
I don’t know
if you wanna be with me
just can’t tell
so I thought I’d let you
take the lead
when i met you,
i thought maybe you were the one
but I don’t know - just can’t see
where this is going

MFC Chicken play some of the most gutsy rock and roll you've ever heard, all while making you laugh, and crave southern cooking. Any of their albums area a blast.
