My Love
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
CHORUS:
I’m inclined and primed to leave
But she won’t let me be.
She goes and breaks my heart
Every time she goes,
My love,
Teais it all apart,
My love
Is unkind to me!
VERSE 1:
My love didn’t love me
Yet my love wouldn’t leave me.
As I’d set out to leave her
She’d set out to retrieve me
And she would. CHORUS
VERSE 2:
My love was an heiress
They say she came from Paris.
Her manners were quite strange to me
And I was blind, as far as I could see. CHORUS
BRIDGE:
She would love me so,
Then she’d let me go.
Run me all around
Like a foolish clown.
I'm on bended knee,
Wish sh'ed let ne bw.
When will I ever be free? CHORUS, VAMP and END

Dream Ships
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Woke up this morning, I was feelin’ fine.
So many good things I had on my mind.
Like endless summer nights and when I’ll see you again.
VERSE 2:
I look to flowers when I’m feelin’ blue.
How often flowers tell me what to do.
They sing forgotten songs of life, of love and of truth.
BRIDGE:
And I can make them sing for you, my love.
And they will tell you what to do, my love.
And they’ll take care of the two of us.
‘Til dream ships sail away.
VERSE 3:
Like constant motion in an endless tide.
Life’s waters flowing from the tears inside.
Beguiling, ever smiling sea, of sailors last chance.
BRIDGE:
A distant voice that cries and calls to me.
It says to come and I will make you free.
And that’s the way it must always be
‘Til dream ships sail away.
VERSE 3:
Now seasons over and the dream awake.
I’ll walk again and make the same mistake.
A golden blossom falls and OH –
You know now we’re home.

You Stole My Life Away
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
& Kenneth Higgins
VERSE 1:
Walkin’ away, standin’ tomorrow up.
Love thrown away, like a used paper cup.
I couldn’t learn, through no concern of yours.
Taken today,
You stole my life away.
REFRAIN:
Love comes and goes but it always stays the same.
And before a word is spoken, another promise broken, again.
VERSE 2:
Love so unkind, it ties me up and makes me blind.
All so untrue, once gone, left up to you.
Hurt me once more, laughing but on the floor.
Can’t run, can’t stay.
You stole my life away.
REFRAIN:
Love comes and goes but it always stays the same.
And before a word is spoken, another promise broken, again.
BRIDGE:
How can I tell you what I’ve never known?
Time brings me sorrow and leaves me out all alone.
REFRAIN and END:
Love comes and goes but it always stays the same.
And before a word is spoken, another promise broken,
And before a word is spoken, another promise broken,
Yes, before a word is spoken, another promise broken, again.

Pandemic Blues
Robert Porembski
Woke up this mornin’, was feelin’ fine
Turned on the TV, damn near lost my mind.
I’ve got the blues.
Them ol’ Pandemic Blues.
Every time I see the news, I get them ol’ Pandemic Blues
Can’t go visit my girlfriend Iris
I so afraid she’s got the virus and I’ve got the blues
Them ol’ Pandemic Blues.
Every time I see the news, I get them ol’ Pandemic Blues
Toilet paper flyin’ off the shelf
Have no idea how I’m gonna wipe myself
I’ve got the blues.
Them ol’ Pandemic Blues.
People hoardin’ stuff like some kind of miser
I can’t get me no hand sanitizer
But I’ve got the blues.
Them ol’ Pandemic Blues
I got the blues,
Them ol’ Pandemic Blues
I got the blues,
Them ol’ Pandemic Blues

Better Days

VERSE
Better days are comin’
For those who want them and those who care
They’re gonna turn your life around and pick you up when you are down

She’ll be there waiting at the station
She’s gonna take you by the hand and lead you to a promised land
Those better days!

Better days for lovin’ you
Those better days are gonna see us through
No matter what we do

When the light shines upon my head
I’m gonna thank the lord above
And get on out and share the love
For better days.

Get Away
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Let's leave the city, get away.
We'll find another place to stay, oh boy.
There's too much trouble here, our kids can't even play.
Let's leave this city, get away.
VERSE 2:
We'll live a country life so sweet.
See no more fighting in the street, no more.
No more drafty rooms or unfair rents to pay.
We'll leave this city, get away.
BRIDGE:
Get away.
Find a new place to stay,
Where we can live in peace everyday.
VERSE 3:
A whole new world is there to see.
And it just waits for you and me -
Oh it waits, waits, waits, oh yeah.
We'll stay together.
I don't care what they might say.
As long as we can get away, oh lord, oh lord!
BRIDGE AND VAMP:
Get away,
Find a new place to stay.
Lord, we can get away.
Gonna find a new place to stay, oh lord!
We can get away.
Gonna find a new place to stay.
Gonna find a new place to stay.
Gonna find a new place to stay.

Polly By Golly
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Girls come and go
And I’ve had so many,
Yes, I know.
Love’s crossed my mind.
Once I thought it’d be so hard to find
But that’s not so – because
CHORUS:
Polly by golly, I’m in love with you.
I can’t help it but I know it’s true.
‘Cause when you do the things you always do
Oh, Polly, Polly, I’m in love with you.
VERSE 2:
Right from the start
In your quiet way you stole my heart.
Took me away,
Gave me everything I’ll ever need
And here I’ll stay – because CHORUS then BRIDGE
BRIDGE:
Funny how love has a way of rememberin’
Such things that we might otherwise forget.
Strange as it seems you’ve crept into my dreams
And you haven’t crept out of them yet.
VERSE 3:
Now you and I
Soar above the clouds
Like birds we fly.
Just you and me
And I’m sure that’s how we’ll always be eternally.
Because - CHORUS and END

I Lose My Heart
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Now and then I fall in love
With the girl that I’m dreamin’ of.
Now and then I fall in love and then,
I lose my heart.
VERSE 2:
Sometimes she’s young, sometimes she’s old.
Always a beauty or so I’m told.
Now and then I fall in love and then,
I lose my heart.
BRIDGE:
Sometimes I ache and sometimes I sob.
‘Cause lookin’ for love is a full time job.
But when the right girl comes along,
I always know. SOLO and BRIDGE
VERSE 3:
The other day, I fell in love.
She was the girl that I’m always dreamin’ of.
Every time I fall in love, that’s when
I lose my heart – that’s when
I lose my heart.

I Love You (Madly)
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
They took me away, yesterday.
You wanted to see me badly.
Though I told you not to wait for me,
I still love you, madly, madly -
Well I’d like you to know, though I’m in here.
My heart’s outside with you my dear.
Oh my mind won’t let me be - I
CHORUS:
Love you, madly
Love you, madly...
VERSE 2:
I did not mean to use the knife.
I did not think that I’d get life.
And though our love can never be,
I’ll always love you - madly, madly.
Prison walls can’t hold my heart.
Yet every minute we’re apart.
I can’t stand this pain in me - I
CHORUS
Love you, madly
Love you, madly...
SOLO
Well I’d like you to know, though I’m in here.
My heart’s outside with you my dear.
Oh my mind won’t let me be - I CHORUS AND END

I Wanna Be a Politician
Robert Porembski & Ronald Porembski
VERSE 1:
I wanna tell people lies, I wanna spit in there eyes,
I wanna be a politician.
I wanna shake your hand, I wanna make a stand.
I wanna be a politician.
I wanna start a war, I wanna become a bore,
I wanna be a politician.
I wanna get in the race, I wanna step on your face,
I wanna be a politician.
CHORUS:
Just vote for me.
(You know you wanna)
Just vote for me.
(You know you wanna)
VERSE 2:
I wanna steal from the poor, I wanna be a whore

I wanna say stupid things, I wanna pull some strings,
I wanna get off the hook, I wanna write a book,
I wanna be a politician. CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I’ll promise you anything
Even if I can’t give it.
Lie when I take oath
‘Cause I know I can’t live it.

I would destroy the land for a few measly grand,
I wanna be a politician.
I wanna placate the masses, kiss affluent asses.
I wanna be a politician. CHORUS

Now It’s Gone
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Well I left you late last evening,
When the stars came out to play.
As we had our tearful parting,
There was nothing left to say.
VERSE 2:
‘Cause it seem that you don’t love me
And it seems that you don’t care.
I was certain but mistaken,
‘Bout the things that we could share.
CHORUS:
Now it’s gone but I still love you,
And no matter what I do,
I just can’t help remembering
The things that we once knew.
VERSE 3:
Like a nighttime stroll through a lover’s lane
Or a frolic in the park,
When the light of love was shining bright
But now that light is dark.
CHORUS
VERSE 4:
And if in time we should meet again
Do you think you’ll feel the same?
Will you find it worth remembering
That once undying flame?
CHORUS/VAMP:
Now it’s gone but I still love you.
Gone but I still do.
Mmm, mmm, mmm….

REALITY (Edge of Reason)
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Baby said, “I can’t stay with you”.
Said that she found someone new.
I thought it was the end for me,
But she opened my eyes and she made me see.
CHORUS:
You can’t escape from reality,
That’s only gonna bring you misery, yeah.
Na, na, na, na ,na..........
VERSE 2:
For a while, I thought I was through.
But that was not the thing to do.
My mind just drifted aimlessly,
But then, again, she made me see. CHORUS
BRIDGE:
She was the only girl in my mind, at the time.
But I know, she treated me unkind, so unkind.
And now I know, I’m free as a bird.
Without any words, to tie me down, I’m no one’s clown. CHORUS
VERSE 3:
I finally returned to my rightful state.
Right on time and not a bit too late!
Before my hopes and dreams were gone,
I found the strength to carry on. CHORUS

Rollin’ Away
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Saw myself in the mirror today,
I watched the lines go rollin’ away.
Crease in my face and my hair turnin’ gray,
I feel like time been rollin’ away.
BRIDGE:
Give me little time,
Give me little time,
To change this water into wine.
Give me little time,
Give me little time,
A miracle is fine,
Just give me little time.
CHORUS:
I feel my time is
Rollin’ away,
Like the tide and the waves keep
Rollin’ away.
See my friends watch the years keep rollin’ away.
I feel like time is rollin’ away!
VERSE 2:
Four and twenty odd hours a day,
Don’t let your time go rollin’ away.
Look at your watch, tell me,
What does it say?
It says your time’s been
Rollin’ away. BRIDGE

My Favorite Chair
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
PROLOGUE:
I love how it feels,
I know that it’s real.
I love how it feels,
I know that it’s real.
VERSE 1:
Sitting here, alone at night,
I’m in my favorite chair
And it’s alright.
It’s alright.
VERSE 2:
Soft and cushiony, the velvet
Takes away regret
And it’s alright.
It’s alright.
BRIDGE:
Though the springs are old
It’s comfortable to me.
Though it’s worn in spots
It’s beautiful to see.
VERSE 3:
When I’m beat, dead tired
To the bone, it’s waiting there
My favorite chair -
And it’s alright
It’s alright.
It’s alright.

I’ll never forget you
I’ll Always love you

It’s not that of a child
And ’til you return, inside love will burn
How I miss your sweet smile

’Til you come back to me

THE SECOND EVE OF DESTRUCTION
PF Sloan
New lyrics by Robert Porembski
This viral world, it is explodin',
Covid spreadin', bullets loadin',
Right wing extremists rioting and lootin',
Untrained cops can’t stop themselves from shootin’,
A corrupt administration that lies in bed with Putin
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
Look at all the trouble they have in Minnesota
Then take a look at Georgia as they try and suppress the voter.
All around us racism is totally systemic,
An incompetent government can’t handle a pandemic,
Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
Every press conference is full of misdirection,
As they spin their lies and try to rig elections,
You can't hide the truth, it knows no regulation,
Complicit Senators won't pass legislation,
And protests alone can't unify the nation,
Go ahead, break the law, you’ll get dispensation
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
The department of justice has become a lousy joke
Any rule of law has gone up in smoke
The guy who runs Tesla wants to go to outer space,
But the way he runs his factory is a goddamn disgrace ,
Lying to the people has become commonplace,
You can hide your taxes and don't leave a trace,
Post some hate speech on Twitter and put it all in upper case
And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
