Son Ombre
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

I Was a Teenage Grandad
In 1991 got glassed,
Cousin got murdered, friend got attacked,
House next door to ours got ransacked again...
But seeing is believing,
Hearing is receiving-
Deaf and blind world, I don't believe in,
Blinded by light, flattened by sound,
Over and out-underground.
Down here, talk to us,
We'll here, the future is here,
Walk with us fromhere-
In 1993 I will be three "O" years inside this body,
I don't know what's going on outside me...
But seeing is believing,
Hearing is receiving-
A deaf and blind world, I don't believe in,
Blinded by light, flattened by sound,
Over and out-underground.
Down here, talk to us,
We'll hear, the future will heal,
Walk with us from here.
