Ancient forms of life Are dying out fast Yet ancient forms of life Will survive Woman needs love Man needs love The whole dam world needs love Get up off the floor Right now Got to make it on your own This time Woman needs love Man needs love The whole dam world needs love Woman needs love Man needs love Woman needs love Man needs love Woman needs love Man needs love The whole dam world Ancient Forms of Life Are Dying Mother Nature Gotta survive Woman Woman needs love Man The whole dam world Needs Get up off the floor right now Woman Woman needs love Man Oh Man needs love Like the whole dam world Needs love Got to make it on your own this time Got to make it on your own this time Mother Nature says You got to make it on your own this time It’s been a long time Since I was in heaven Did we make our hell Did we make our hell Did we make our hell Did we make our hell
2.	Common Garden Blues 03:45	lyrics	buy track
I'm not a common tit, I'm blue, Flap my wings, bob my tail, tweet, and fly like a Bird, I'm not a common tit, I'm blue. Next to sparrows, feisty robin. Attitude blackbird is around too. Watch out blackbird. sparrow hawks coming through. Come join my garden Amid the bugs, bees, and the trees, Dandelions, earthworms and smiling daisies. Buttercup gold traded the sun To be with the clover having melancholy fun, Dodging the lawn mower whilst I'm in the thorn bush, Well, I ran out of rhyme cos I'm no common tit, I'm blue. I’m blue, That's common garden blues The common garden blues. Common garden blues. Common garden blues. Common garden blues. Common garden, blues. I'm no Dylan, Dylan was a poet Hmm Bob knew that he didn't blow it cos he's poet to well Bob said that, and we all agreed I'm no poet, nor a common tit, I'm blue It's the common garden blues We got the common garden blues Well, it’s the common garden blues We got the common garden blues Well, it's the common Garden Blues Common Garden Blues I said that, so it must be true Come join my garden Common or blue The stench from the outhouse is not me, it must be you No matter friend, we're all the same, One song, one call We're all singing, we're all blue The common garden blues Said The common garden blues We’re singing the common garden blues The common, garden, blues

Keep your head above water my friend Turning out just fine Doing what you do and everything else Keep it to one line Well, keep your head above water my friend You’ll sink beneath the waves When the time comes for you lot Be brave Keep your head above water my friend It could be your last The Blackness of a sinner’s world It will be the last So, keep your head above water my friend You’ll sink beneath the waves When the time comes for you lot Be brave As man Gazed towards the stars The stars shone in a hypnotic light Which drawing man to explore this wounder In rockets From all over the earth From the east from west There isn’t much time For playing around Or looking at the stars From the east from the west From the east from the west From the east Do you know what you’re doing When you’re Killing off yourselves? Destiny of this world? Keep your head above water my friend Its turning out just fine Doing what you do and everything else Just keep it to one line Destiny of this world Is nothing new? Destiny of this world Is nothing new?

5.	Well 06:39	lyrics	buy track
Throwing pennies…… Can’t break the spell no Keep wishing by the flowers She Loves me she loves me not Throwing pennies to the well Throwing pennies…… And days spent dreaming Days of holding well From a pocket that’s empty To a belly with plenty Who knows where you go to Who knows where yer Throwing pennies to the well Throwing pennies…… Can’t break the spell no In my heaven aren’t no rebellion Just a loving cup run over Throw another penny to the well Throwing pennies…… You don’t get lucky If you don’t have wishes You don’t have wishes If your hearts not on fire Not on fire Not on Fire Not on Not on Not on Not on Not on Not on fire Throwing pennies…… When I needed something When I needed someone When I needed something real bad Throwing pennies to the well to the well to the well Throwing pennies……

Take a little loving Spill it if it falls Bend the backs when shovelling sacks Spend the message on the wall It’s a lovely time Knocking at the door Change the mood to rocking you Take a little loving Spill it if it falls Bend the backs when shovelling sacks Spend the message on the wall It’s a lovely time Knocking at the door Change the mood to rocking you

about

Retoons Project Vol 2. A mix art rock, blues with a classic 70's style rock finale. All lyrics, except Common Garden Blues, were written early 70's and 80's. I thank my younger self for recording the demo tapes I now crib to recreate the songs fifty years later :)

about

KCJ RAR York, UK

Independent artist, song creator and musician
KCJ RAR Project Retoons, recreating songs I wrote as a wannabe back in the 1970's and 80's. Now home recording guitars and virtual instruments to create classic rock numbers that never were; symphonic prog epics that could have been; and avant-garde psychedelic art rock grooves that surely fill a gap in music history today? Maybe not, but lots of fun! ... more
