Like Gary Numan
by B.R Frazer ©2018
I found a recipe
On a darknet site
A kind of formula
That turns water into wine
Take a drink and you're Trump-proof
From all the sick shit
His minions dish up
When they're digging into it
Are we living in the darkest time in history?
No surprise we want to disappear
From all this fear
I want to be like Gary Numan
Live in my car, be an auto inhuman
Don't like the melting pot
They want to purify the line
But in reality
They are as muddy as they're blind
They cannot listen
Because they will never submit
They do not understand time
Or that we're running out of it
Could we be whisper close to eternity
Could we be a single breath from insanity
I want to be like Gary Numan
Live in my car, be an auto inhuman
Under cover, and utter illusion
Here in my car, I'm in total seclusion
Like Gary Numan
L-l-l-l-l like
Gary (Gary, Gary)
Like
G-g-g-g-g-g
Like Gary Numan
I want to be like Gary Numan
Live in my car, be an auto inhuman
Under cover, an utter illusion
Here in my car, in total seclusion
Like Gary Numan
Like Gary Numan
Like Gary

Good Girl
by B.R Frazer & Tara Holloway ©2018
She used to be someone I knew
Blew sugar daddies when
the rent was due
Fancied herself as a star
A Marilyn cloned of
Feather boas and tar
She loved to shoot holes in the night
Painting the day
In shadows and spite
Revelled in anxiety
Waiting for love
Til she's dead on her feet
She was a good girl in some other life
Good girl, so happy and wise
A good girl in somebody's eyes
But not mine
She tries on men like boots
Flutters sorrowful eyes
Blood-red from the kush
Crying herself to sleep
Spends her pay cheque on makeup
To help her hit on the freaks
She was a good girl in some other life
Good girl, so happy and wise
A good girl in somebody's eyes
But not mine
She was a good girl
in some other life
Good girl, innocent and nice
A good girl in somebody's eyes
But not mine
She was a good woman, good woman
She was a good woman, good woman
Once
She was a good girl in some other life
Good girl, so happy and wise
A good girl in somebody's eyes
But not mine
She was a good girl
in some other life
Good girl, innocent and nice
A good girl in somebody's eyes
But not mine

Scream in Silence
by B.R Frazer ©2017
All roads to ruin start with a stumble
tragedy feeds off small mistakes
It's purification, act one of delusion
in a plutocratic state
I tried to be quiet, stayed mum to the riot
But I can't ignore this loaded game
A puppet & tool, the worst April fool
Too rich to relate
I can only scream alone in silence
I can only hide the pain away
I can only breathe in cold defiance
Burning in the hell that you create
A man on the edge, pride on the brink
A finger poised to cast our fate
You mock him & spit in a schoolboy fit
And nudge him closer to the bait
Do you even know
It's armageddon you sow
When you blink
It's too late
I can only scream alone in silence
I can only hide the pain away
I can only breathe in cold defiance
Burning in the hell that you create
I can only
I can only
I can only
scream alone in silence
(silence, silence, silence)
It's too late

Mister Maybe
by B.R Frazer ©2018
Crowds a'flock like buzzy bees
They wander (ooooh)
In throughout my consciousness
they flow
All distractions interfere
and cover up my view
The walls of noise they block me
from you
Is you is or ain't you ain't
my baby
In you come then out
You're Mister Maybe
Won't hold my breath 'til you
come back (Nooo!)
Late at night your pebbles scratch
my window
A carnal call, you cum and go
what's new
Must admit, the usual's getting
pretty boring
Hard swallowing your
non-committal view
Is you is or ain't you ain't
my baby
In you come then out
You're Mister Maybe
Won't hold my breath
Is you is, I bet you ain't
my baby
In you come then out you're
mister maybe
Won't hold my breath
I won't hold, no
I won't hold
Won't hold my breath, nooo
Is you is or ain't you ain't
my baby
In you come then out
You're Mister Maybe
Won't hold my breath
Is you is, I bet you ain't
my baby
In you come then out you're
mister maybe
Won't hold my breath 'til you
come back (Nooo!)

I can't be loved
by B.R Frazer ©2017
It's with sympathy I tell you
Everything must change
Packed my guitar and tone
Took the Macy Gray
Had suspicion for the longest time
Things were not quite right
Guess this is where I pay
In the back room
Your bodies tightly pressed
In the shadows
Drinking his caress
I can't be loved
Oooh
I can't be loved
(I Wish that I knew why)
I can't be loved
(Ahhh ahhhh)
I can't be loved
No no no
In my stark and swollen mind
I had to follow you
Imagination moved
to a darker side
If people have the power
To manifest their will
I not only took the pill
I drank the kool-aid
In a dark room
Your bodies tightly pressed
I watch your shadow
swallow his caress
I can't be loved
Oooh
I can't be loved
(I Wish that I knew why)
I can't be loved
(Ahhh ahhhh)
I can't be loved
No no no

Another Perfect Day
by B.R. Frazer ©2018
The Sun peeks over a field of dreams
World shakes off its starry beams
Coffee's on, ain't it good to be alive
Kids wake up to a velvet sky
Softly rub the sleep from their eyes
Another day to build on this perfection
Lilacs smell like French perfume
& the sound of laughter fills the room
It's a:
Perfect, it's a perfect
Just another perfect day
It's perfect, perfect
Just another perfect day with you
Warm breeze flutters across my face
Dip my toes in the cool of the lake
Some days you can almost touch the sky
Walked barefoot in the morning dew
The scent of pines, it smells like new
Spiderweb twinkles in the dappled light
Sometimes you gotta break stride
Smell the flowers and em-brace life
Seize the day, and find a....
better “meeeeeeeeee”
Perfect, Perfect,
Another perfect day
Perfect, perfect
Just another perfect day...
Perfect, it's a perfect
Just another perfect day
It's perfect, perfect
Just another perfect day with you
oooh ooooh, ooooh
It's perrrrrfeeeect
Another perrrrrrfeeect day, with yooo-ooo-oooou, with yooo-ooo-ooooou

Me myself and I
by B.R Frazer ©2017
Caught the wave of a roiling sea
Sank deep below
All that I could see … were dead roses
Flew to heights on a lover’s high
Came crashing to the ground
All that I could hear was “it’s over”
I tell myself
There will be blue skies (ah, ah , ahhhhh)
Convince myself, I’ll be just fine
It’s always
Me, myself and I, driving alone dear
Me, myself, and I
Gettin’ high
I see myself in time, without a lover
If I could be myself then I
Might just try … to learn to fly
It’s not love that eludes my gaze
But the heartache
makes it hard to smile at passers by
If fate should grant me one last wish
Stars align for Cupid's
I'll close my eyes; don't catch me crying
Drink myself to sleep
& dream the good lie (ah, ah , ahhhhh)
Wake up to the sound
Of si- lence
It’s always
Me, myself and I, driving alone dear
Me, myself, and I, gettin’ high
I always see myself in time
without a lover
If I could be myself then I
Might just try … to learn to fly
Me, myself and I
It’s always me, myself, and I
Just me, myself and I
don’t know why
It’s always
Me, myself and I, driving alone dear
Me, myself, and I, gettin’ high
I always see myself in time
without a lover
If I could be myself then I
Might just try to learn to fly

Heaven's Waiting
by B.R Frazer and DeeDee Butters ©2018
Waiting
For some bell to ring
An ethereal voice
Alone to sing
Looking back
Guess I reaped just what I sowed
Heaven's waiting
At the door for me
And I'm praying
That it's going to be
Everything the preacher
Said it would be
Dreaming
In a sea of scorn
On the Hesperus
Lashed to a mast in the storm
So many changes that I should have made
Listening
To my wild heart beat
Waiting
Til it ceases to be
A child of the damned
One of the cursed few
The release of love
Lou said it would be
One life's gift to eternity
The day all liars finally speak their truth
Heaven's waiting
At the door for me
And I'm praying
That it's going to be
Everything the preacher
Said it would be
Angel's waiting to put
wings on my feet
My Gabriel
Blows his horn so sweet
Carry me
oh won't you set me free
