CH: Montenegro, little Montenegro
Montenegro on the Adriatic Sea
Montenegro, little Montenegro
Warm-hearted country with a troubled history.
Prince Danilo told Nicolas Rex,
Extraordinary valour is meaningless
When your life is invented and you can’t confess
Hop on a ship and take your mess to...
CH
When the Ottomans knock and they want your cash
And the Byzantines burn your villages to ash
And you claim independence and throw a bash
Don’t side with the Serbs or your car will crash.
CH
Oh, Oh, Oh, Grow, Montenegro
Montenegro, little land of strife
Unhappy, happy, unhappy wife
Pin a medal on your pride, but hide your pain
If you’re out of whiskey then drink champagne.
CH
When the king is dead and the parties fade
The careless and confused stumble from the fray
Look out across that distant bay
A little green lantern will light the way to...
CH
Oh, Oh, Oh, Grow Montenegro
CH END.

1920, 2020, you pick any century
and tell me human misery
has changed in some capacity
those that have and those that don't
living separate fantasies
your new york is hard to see from my world of luxury…
why we all be playin' games like grown ups? so sophisticated-
gets so complicated when desires get frustrated
you were loved and now you're hated- it's a silver plated life
with a gilded wife but scrape it with a knife you'll find the strife i tell you-
rich and poor are both unhappy, but the rich hold all the cards
drive their cars and run you over spending all their four leaf clovers
the ones that weren't born here are the ones full of pretensions
they've adopted attitudes from movies full of condescension
perpetuated myths and mannerisms of invention
while born-and-bred new yorkers are the ones that don't get mentioned
they're genuine and never qualify for your attention
it could be the hamptons, generations full of power
it could be the williamsburg, who live in artsy towers
buying up the property, to them it's like Monopoly,
their reckless sweeping of the poor -
like they're nothing but debris
assimilating culturally and then making it trendy-
mister gatsby, mister gatsby
a phony among phonies, mister gatsby...
america says you're the greatest book it's ever read
don't know what good that does us, but that's what the critics said

Her voice is a deathless song
Rock of the world, founded on a fairies wing
Her voice is full of money
You can't repeat the past
She used to understand me
In Louisville she moved fast
And we rose and fell in that
We jingled and jangled in it
Oh the cymbals' song a that
Sounded like this
There is no difference between men
a thinning briefcase of enthusiasm
A singing compulsion, a whispered listen
An arrangement of words never to be played again
A decade of loneliness
I am one of the few honest people I've ever known
She asked me questions
In her low, thrilling voice
I followed it up and down
Compelled I had no choices
And we rose and fell in that
We jingled and jangled in it
Oh the cymbals' song of that
Sounded like this
A singing compulsion, a whispered listen
a thinning briefcase of enthusiasm
There is no difference between men
An arrangement of words never to be played again
And now I'm thirty and now i'm thirty years old
A thinning list of single women to know
There's a big difference between the sick and the well
Thinning hair and if I die who will tell
My greatest fear in life
Is that someday I am gonna die alone
Of course the funny thing
Everybody dies alone
People all around
You close your eyes you're on your own
So let's rise and fall in this
Let's jingle jangle in it
And the cymbals' song of it
Will sound like this

We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
