RODRIGUEZ, Sixto


I wonder


I wonder how many times you've been had

And I wonder how many plans have gone bad

I wonder how many times you had sex

I wonder do you know who'll be next

I wonder l wonder wonder I do


I wonder about the love you can't find

And I wonder about the loneliness that's mine

I wonder how much going have you got

And I wonder about your friends that are not

I wonder I wonder I wonder I do


I wonder about the tears in children's eyes

And I wonder about the soldier that dies

I wonder will this hatred ever end

I wonder and worry my friend

I wonder I wonder wonder don't you?


I wonder how many times you been had

And I wonder how many dreams have gone bad

I wonder how many times you've had sex

And I wonder do you care who'll be next

I wonder I wonder wonder I do


Sugar Man


Sugar man, won't you hurry

Cause I'm tired of these scenes

For a blue coin won't you bring back

All those colors to my dreams


Silver magic ships you carry

Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane

Sugar man met a false friend

On a lonely dusty road


Lost my heart when I found it

It had turned to dead black coal

Silver magic ships you carry

Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane


Sugar man you're the answer

That makes my questions disappear

Sugar man cause I'm weary

Of those double games l hear

.....


Crucify your mind


Was it a huntsman or a player

That made you pay the cost

That now assumes relaxed positions

And prostitutes your loss?


Were you tortured by your own thirst

In those pleasures that you seek

That made you Tom the curious

That makes you James the weak?


And you claim you got something going

Something you call unique

But I've seen your self-pity showing

As the tears rolled down your cheeks


Soon you know I'll leave you

And I'll never look behind

'Cause I was born for the purpose

That crucifies your mind


So con-convince your mirror

As you've always done before

Giving substance to shadows

Giving substance ever more


And you assume you got something to offer

Secrets shiny and new

But how much of you is repetition

That you didn't whisper to him too?


Jane S. Piddy


Now you sit there thinking feeling insecure

The mocking court gesture claims there is no proven cure

Go back to your chamber, your eyes upon the wall

'Cos you got no one to listen, you got no one to call


And you think I'm curious


Drifting, drowning in a purple sea of doubt

You wanna hear she loves you

but the words don't fit the mouth

You're a loser, a rebel, a cause without


But don't think me callous


Dancing Rosemary, disappearing sister Ruth

It's just your yellow appetite

that has you choking on the truth

You gave in, you gave out, outlived your dreams of youth


And I can't get jealous


So go on, you'll continue with your nose so open wide

Knocking on that door that says "Hurry come inside"

But don't bother to buy insurance 'cos you've already died


And you can't be serious


I saw my reflection in my father's final tears

The wind was slowly melting, San Francisco disappears

Acid heads, unmade beds, and you Woodward world queers


I know you're lonely

I know you're lonely

I know you're lonely...
