Fooie-Fooy
c. 14 Vlayman
What's the matter with the light? Why's it never on?
You used to take great delight, in turning me on
Now it's bitch and whine and moan, you say I'm never home
I'd rather be alone than listen to you now!
CH1: Fooie-Fooy, fooey on you
Fooie-Fooy, fooey on you
I know what I'm gonna do, turn it up and fuck it up
Fooey, on you
How's it that you never smile? Why's it that you always sleep?
I come home after that extra mile, wake you up and I'm a creep
CH2: Now it's bitch and whine and moan,
you say I'm never home
I'd rather be alone
than listen to you now!
CH1: Fooie-Fooy, fooey on you
Fooie-Fooy, fooey on you
I know what I'm gonna do, turn it up and fuck it up
Fooey, on you

Futile
c. '14 Vlayman Products
You struggled mightily to get things done yer way
You put it all on the line 'cuz there was never any other play
You saw the need for speed and so you went right at it
You worked and struggled and fought like some kind of addict
In yer shoes they oughta have to walk a mile,
Then mebbe they'd realize how yer actions were so
beautiful and futile
You gave it everything you tried to wear 'em down
When they said talk you sang and tried to drown 'em out
You had a way with words, they came fast and free
You had your own drummer and you wrote the melody
In yer place they prob'ly couldn't smile
But damn sure they'd realize how yer life was so
beautiful and futile
She stood by yer side as you climbed up from the street
She liked a quick ride and you thought she was just dumb and sweet
She had a good hide whether she layed down alongside or kneeled
She seemed so innocent until her collusion was revealed
In your defense they took you down with treachery and guile
You couldn't see how all you did was beautiful and futile
SOLO
In your grave they left your hopes and dreams all in a pile
They don't see how what they done is just ugly and futile

To Your Drummer
c. '14 Vlayman Produx; derranged by Grankspoine
She said it was time for me to go
She said it was time for me to leave
Well I looked you in the eye
Because I, I just didn't want to believe
And you know, what you said in there
Well it just wasn't fair
And they said it was some kinda abomination
Even as they couldn't hide their fascination
And I looked you in the eye
Because I, I just didn't want to believe
And you know, what you said in there
Well it just wasn't fair
CH: . . You never gave me a chance
You never even let me try and dance
To your drummer
Solo
And I looked you in the eye
Because I, I just didn't want to believe
And you know, what you said in there
Well it just wasn't fair

Gettin' Better (Baby)
c. '14 Vlayman
Baby's getting better, she's getting better all the time
Ya might not know it if you ask her, but you can, see it in her eyes
see it in her eyes
you can see it in her eyes

I don't know what to get her, gotta get her a thing
Baby's getting better, mebbe I'll get her a ring
get her a ring
I'll get her a ring
mebbe I'll get her a ring
Baby wants to see me, she sees I'm here
Baby wants to please me, leave with me from here
leave with me from here
She wants to leave with me from here
leave with me from here
Baby says she loves me, loves me much as she can
Ya know I love baby, too, someday I'll be her only man
I'll be her only man
someday I'll be her only man
I'll be her only man

I know yer inna hurry to get goin'
You got a thing about you needs to move
But if it wasn't for the things that I am knowing
You wouldn't move along with such a groove
Don't you wanna wait
until I'm late?
I know how you hate bein' slow
Don't you wanna wait
until I'm late, baby?
Wait for me before ya go
Every buddy's talkin' 'bout how's yer motor's runnin'
They all see you at the starting line
We all know that you like nothin' better'n gunnin'
But baby's got learn to earn her time

Wintertime
c. '14 Vlayman
In the summertime when it was hot,
In the summertime when the leaves turned black,
In the summertime when it was not what I wanted
In the summertime you came back.
Aaaa- aah aaah
Aaaa- aah
Aaaa- aah aaah
Aaaa- aah
In the wintertime
It was the wintertime you made me me happy
The only time you made me me happy
Was when you left

End (How It All Will)
c. '14 Vayman Produx
In the grey morning on the first day of the month,
I heard the calling of the birds for their mates,
There was no warning on that first day of the month,
that you'd be late.
In the red morning just before the storms began,
I heard the mothers calling for the children,
There was no other warning before the storms began,
But for the light and then the wind.
In the bright morning just before sun fell down,
I heard you calling out my name,
There was no warning just before the sun fell down,
And it never will ever rise up again.
Oooh, my dear
I know just what you fear
You see what I do but you fail to comprehend
How it all will end

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois
Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to
vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
