This is just me screwing around. I’m trying to write a homage to Prince’s Sign O The Times that talks about how Trump not signing his hush agreement with with Stormy Daniels is pretty typical of this era we now live in. Let me stress, I have no beats and I’m just screwing around.

No Sign O The Times
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

in this crazy era of ours what can I say
our leaders demand hush agreements of lovers
so they can be president
then they….don’t sign
if that’s not a sign of the times
I don’t know what is
if you get what I mean
if you get what I mean
if you get what I mean

it’s no sign o the times
I’m afraid
people want all the power
but none of the responsibility
they think they can get away with it all
and we’ll ignore it
as long as we’re entertained

it’s no sign o the times
it’s no sign o the times
it’s no sign o the times

[bridge]
but we can only hope
that the people are no dopes
that they won’t be rubes
that they can see the truth

it’s no sign o the times
it’s no sign o the times
it’s no sign o the times

I find myself inspired by Janelle Monae’s great song Make Me Feel. It’s very much inspired by Prince. But anyway, I feel like writing about trying to woo a woman in lyrics. No one cares about anything I write, so you get this.

Here Kitty
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

see you walk on by
your presence makes me sigh
visions of touching your side
fill me with desire
but I can’t get even a hi

things keep going on and on
nothing seems to change
no matter how much I complain
all I ask is a little of your time
and that you come when I say

here kitty
here kitty
come and get it
here kitty
here kitty

girls come and go
don’t you know, don’t you know
but something about you shines
makes me smile at your thought
but what roles may occur
late at night with only the moon
to light our way
is anyone’s guess I feel
let me call again

here kitty
here kitty
come and get it
here kitty
here kitty

[bridge]
here’s so much I want to say
but I worry you’ll run away
just the mention of your name
is enough to ease the pain

all I want is your warmth
close to me but I fear
you’ll run away
no matter how much I cry

here kitty
here kitty
here kitty
here kitty
