New Love
you came alone
and I came alone
it's really all about timing
well I'm sorry that I'm late
but in my book I'd written 8:00
but you stayed
and you laughed at my silly voices
and I laughed at your adorable laugh
but you had to go 'cause it was your birthday
and you'd already made plans to see all your friends
and I had butterflies in my belly
'cause it's new love
the intention of love
fluttering feeling of love

Pimple On The Nose - lyrics by Ronley Teper
It's like a pimple on the nose.
I should leave it alone.
But it's calling to be popped.
It takes all my will to stop.
As time passes by,
tick tock tick tock.
To the point of casual hellos.
And all our mutual friends' babies -- are now children,
futures beginning to happen.
Well the sushi bar's still there
and so is the chicken place.
But a lot of the memories have closed their doors.
And I think about you.
Was I such a fool?
Thinking 'bout you.
Was I such a fool?
Was I just a
working mule?

Big Black Clouds Lyrics by Ronley Teper
If the sun refused to shine
and big black clouds lurked all around
Sun ain’t nowhere round to burn
so big black clouds wash away
it seems so cliche cliche but hey, hey hey
it’s the way things are today
maybe tomorrow
we’ll find a better way
maybe tomorrow will bring a brighter day
If the sun refused to shine
and big black clouds lurked all around
and sun aint nowhere round to burn
so big black clouds
wash away
maybe tomorrow
we’ll find a better way
maybe tomorrow
will bring a brighter day
maybe tomorrow

Love Again lyrics by Ronley Teper
You can run away
you can hide away
and never love again
never love again
Well, you’ve done this before
might do it some more
try not to keep score
and never love again
never love again
but,
love can be just friends
love can be a man or woman
love can be inanimate
love can be just a nice cup of tea
And you can love again
you can love love again
you can love again
you can love again …

Stuff by Ronley Teper
stuff
stuff to do
gotta get it done
stuff
stuff to do
gotta get it done
but i'd rather
sit in this chair
with my phone,
with a book
or a movie
with a pet
with a joint
with a pen and paper
anything too…
procrastinate

Cohabiting Lovers
Lyrics by Ronley Teper
Well i'm just sitting on my chair minding my own business
I'm relaxing I'm chilling
my left foot's crossed over my right
then from outta site comes that glowing light
that radiant smile those curves, those
oh no ! I know that face. ah oh!
—
What have you been doing all day?
just sitting there on that chair
I asked you to take out the garbage
and the recycling and their still just sitting their
like you on that chair,
no garbage no blowjob
—
you know I love her sometimes
sometimes I really love her
sometimes she looks really nice in her onesies pyjamas
I've even fallen in love with her fuzzy winter legs
and anti deodorant armpits and…
oh no theres that face again oh no here it comes
—
how come you never come out with my friends
what you don’t like my friends? At least I have friends!
Why are you looking at me like that?
What you don’t like my new hair?
I just spent 500 dollars on this hair!
and did all the laundry, fed the dog
watered the plants, what you been doing?
just sitting on that frickin chair?
you said you change the vacuum bag
and how hard is it to put a new roll of toilet paper on
you know how constipated i get sometimes
are you even listening?
—
yes honey i’m listening
yes babe
yes snoockems
your hair looks so nice tonight
you say your constipated all the time
maybe you should eat more salad
—-
Don’t tell me what to eat!
I’ll tell you what were gonna eat
Tonight it’s gonna be fish,
‘cause it’s been sitting in the fridge too long
you said you’d throw it in the compost you said you’d do it today
but today is now tomorrow and tommorows become today and I blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
arrrrrrrg, arrrrrrrrrg, arrrrrggggg!

CRAZY
lyrics by Ronley Teper
Some are crazy
Some are crazier
Some are crazier than crazy
Matter over mind
Minding mine
My mind is fine most of the time (at least in my mind)
Time will tell time
Times sit's on my mind
They say all good things come in time
Well it's coming i can feel it coming I don't wanna ruin the surprise
It's gonna be miraculous almost spectacular(our) promises promises promises
wait it out don't doubt see what it's all about
Some are crazy
Some are crazier
Some are crazier than crazy
Well some people will tell you you're crazy
Don't let them bring you down
Just turn that frown upside down

Crazy Times
01:43

Shit’s hitting the fan
Time to do something ‘bout it
Got to shout it out
Got to act out about it
‘Cause in these times,
such great divide
and there’s no hiding it
no doughts about it
it’s crazy times
Change is coming, whether you like it or not
So which side are you on?
Are you over there
trying to hold on to the past
divided in social class
hate and religious faith?
Or are you over here
figuring out whats best,
deconstructing the walls
to figure out what’s next?
Gotta come together
Gotta wave the stormy weather together
Gotta listen, gotta act
There’s no turning back
The Future is now
So let’s figure out how.
Shit’s hitting the fan
We gotta work like fam(ily)
In these crazy times

Everybody's Friend lyrics by Ronley Teper
Everybody's friend
See’s the party to the end
Everybody's friend
The kind you can never pretend
Everybody's friend
Sees you through a few bends
Been behind the bar through a few trends
Everybody's friend
Get to know her
Watch the light stir
Over beers and gin
Next of kin kind of thing
Philosophizing over the jukebox
Jukebox of nostalgia
and a mischievous grin
Everybody's friend

Everyone Loves A Good Story, lyrics Ronley Teper
everyone loves a good story
and in this case the story begins in the middle
in the middle before the end and a new beginning
throw in some setting to add colour
first person narration a touch of alliteration
and if i knew where this was going I'd tell you
but it's all coming out in ebb and flows
and the narrative will nourish as the plot unfolds
set the tone add an interesting subplot
antagonize the protagonist
is it ok to side with the antagonist?
long run-on sentences
brief amounts of sentiment
when to know the character is spent
climb the cliff to climax
and if i knew where this was going I'd tell you
but it's all coming out in ebb and flows
and the narrative will nourish as the plot unfolds
How do I stay in this point of view
writers block is creeping through
is it good enough- can I get an advance for this stuff?
and if i knew where this was going I'd tell you
but it's all coming out in ebb and flows
and the narrative will nourish as the plot unfolds.

Alright, lyrics by Ronley Teper
it may take a couple of minutes if its something little let it whittle
it may take a couple of days if it's something that docent want to go away
it may take a couple of months to get over the hump jump over the bumps
it may take a couple of friends friendships that end a few backs to bend
it may take a generation of change at the edge and a new language
It may take a couple of years
a shitload of tears
yearning discerning nights tossing and turning
but despite how it may appears
-------------
it's going to ba alright
it's going to be alright
alright
It may take a couple of sends, ——— pretends, ——— there’s never
beginnings without ends
it may take a double dare, and a little bit of wear and tear
it may take a dying breath to get it off your chest
just keep your eyes on the sunset in the west
It may take a couple of years
a shitload of tears
yearning discerning nights tossing and turning
but despite how it may appear
but in the meantime they'll be times when
it's going to ba alright
it's going to be alright
alright
