Careful what you do
Careful what you don’t do
Careful when you click and where you share
Careful what you open
Careful what you search for
Don’t you know they’re hopin’
To leave you in the lurch, for…
Viruses
They’re everywhere
Mother#%$ viruses
they’re everywhere
viruses
They’re everywhere
Mother#%$ Viruses
they’re everywhere
You can’t say I don’t care
(you can’t say I don’t care)
You gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta beware
You must beware
Just like insolence
Just like violence
Just like ignorance
And there is no consequence!
No way lemme wipe my iris
Still plagued by what’s behind us
They claim to know who’s to blame
But it’s still too vague, really who’s the tyrant?
I ain’t playing this game, I’m tired
At the same time can’t be silent
I got humble fever
But if I don’t jam then their guns won’t either
Okay check this,
What if love was infectious?
Any other bug we’d be in a rut
With this in the tuck we’re protected
But we ain’t enough of it, it’s hectic
To heal we need a new perspective
For real our nature’s been neglected
Hate how hate goes viral every second
I’m writing to you from the government
Your computer has been infected
click right here to download the software
That will in turn steal your data
Before you get a chance to say
MOTHERF&@ING VIRUSES
They’re everywhere
Mother#$%#$@ Viruses
They’re everywhere
Viruses
Oh they’re everywhere
Mother#$%#$@ Viruses
They’re everywhere
Check this out
That’s inflammation for your information
Been the doctor and I’ve been the patient
Never in the matrix
Apart from all these viruses life is still amazing
You can’t say I don’t care
You gotta beware
Viruses
Careful!

Clicked on Romance

I remember the very first time I
Clicked on your profile
DING! When I read your first message
I couldn’t breathe
Seemed too good to be true
To discover that you
Clicked on me too!
Many people said it couldn’t last
So why even bother?
Ha! Online dating is stupid,
That’s what they said
They were wrong, we were wed
On a hot August Day
There was no wind gust that perfect day
Sounds so cliché...
But the third time I saw you my heart started to sing
Ring ding ding diddle-ittle ding ding ding
went my cell and my heartstrings
I’m so happy we swiped to the right
Everything now is more than alright
I’m so grateful we gave love a chance
When we clicked on romance!
Ding dittle-ittle-ing ding ding, dittle-ittle-ing ding ding
Went my device
Ding dittle-ittle-ing ding ding, dittle-ittle-ing ding ding
That sure was nice
Thanks to an app they call “Plenty of Fish”
We both got our wish!
I’m so happy we swiped to the right
Everything now is more than alright
I’m so grateful we gave love a chance
When we clicked on romance!
Ding ding ding oh yeah

My Finger Slipped
01:36

My finger slipped
My world got flipped
And I felt totally whipped
Because of my finger
Slip slip-slip slippin’,
Slip slip slip slip slippin’ ...
It’s creepy
I must have been sleepy or weepy or even asleep when I...
pocket dialed,
oh boy it was wild
Have you ever called 911
By accident?
I almost had a heart attack!
My heart and soul, they lost control
All because my finger slipped!
Wa, wa-wa-wa wa-wa wa-wa wa-wa
Not sure “Where or When”
But “Oops I Did it Again”
“You clicked male instead of female”
Did you get my email?
I meant thumbs up
And not thumbs down
I meant to send you a smile
Not a frown
I wish I could amend it
I wish I could unsend it
But the internet rules won’t bend, oh no!
My screen got flipped
Felt as though my wings got clipped
And it’s all ’cause my finger………
OMG I pressed the wrong emoji
Slipped!!

Would You Swing My Way?
03:01

I remember seeing you that grey November day
Beaming like the sun, melting my broken heart away
And I remember wondering, what would you say?
Would you swing my way?
Would you stay for a day?
Well guess what happened next?
I woke up to no text!.
I didn’t have the guts
To face your no’s if’s and’s or but’s
Then on the first of May
I finally mustered the courage to catch up and say
Baby, would you swing my way?
I remember seeing you that grey November day
Beaming like the sun, melting my broken heart away
And I remember wondering, what would you say?
Would you swing my way?
Would you stay for a day?
Well, that made me feel so vexed
To wake up to no text
I was too afraid to ask
But now I’ve taken off my mask
Baby baby baby baby are you up to the task?
Would you swing my way?
(Guitar solo: Nathan Hiltz)
Guess what happened next?
Ding ding ding, your text!
And then, and then and then,
LOL
And then and then
Hallelujah, Amen!
Baby I’m so glad
I found the guts to ask you
Baby would you swing my way?
Beep deetin’ deelya Deetin deelya dootin’ da
OH YEAH!

The social media tango,

Months go by, and I do not know why
I haven’t heard a peep from you
Are you dead? Or instead…
Have you deleted me?
Or is it simply in my head?

Living in a Hashtag World
Got me going crazy
Everything is clickable
Yet so full of bull!
Living in a Hashtag World
Makes ya feel so lazy
Lounging there u click click click click
Hashtag pretty slick!
“Message sending,” “message read;”
Notifications lose their charm:
“Somebody’s trending, are they dead?
Or is it a false alarm?”
Living in a Hashtag World,
Everybody’s viral
It’s a downward spiral, whoa man
Catch up if you can
<Scat break into long meter>
Living in a hashtag world
Always getting faster
Don’t let haters drag you down
Don’t even let ‘em make you frown
Living in a Hashtag World
Can make you all nostalgic
Magically you’re way back when
Here we go again! Go again,
«Envoi de message», «message lu;»
Les notifications perdent leur charme:
“Someone’s trending, are they dead?
Or is it another false alarm?”
Living in a Hashtag World
Here’s a Hashtag legend
Check her on the internet
#JaneBunnett
(Flute solo)
Please hang up and try your call again,
This is a recording.
At the sound of the tone, please enter the pound key.
What do you mean what’s a pound key???
Living in a Hashtag World
And there’s no escapin’
Bet ya someone’s tapin’ it,
Pretty soon we’ll reminisce
(scat solo)
Hashtag.
World.

It’s not where you come from, it’s where you’re going
It’s not where you come from, it’s where you’re going going going
Going that counts, going that counts, going that counts
Going that counts, going that counts, going that counts.
Black orphan girl
Born in Virginia
Boy she could win a million hearts with a single song
“Where there is love and inspiration I just don’t think that you can go wrong!”
Going Going Going that counts
Go-o-o-o-o-ing that counts
Not where you come from, not where you come from;
It is where you’re going that counts!
(piano solo: Attila Fias)
(alto saxophone solo: Alison Young)
Black white or beige
Why should it matter?
Aren’t we supposed to be human kind?
Haters be like poison in the water
Why can’t they open up their mind?
It’s not where you come from, it’s where you’re going
It’s not where you come from, it’s where you’re going going going
Going that counts, going that counts, going that counts
Going that counts, going that counts
It is where you’re going that counts!

Rebirth of the Cool

Sometimes I find myself
Running out of space on the vinyl shelf
I can’t get enough of this heavenly music
It’s not the philharmonic
But it works just like a tonic
Bilya-dootin’ Doolya-dootin’ Dooby-ooby Ow!
Talkin’ about the priceless soul of Nat King Cole
The timeless moan of Nina Simone
The genius punk named Thelonious Monk
Oceans of blood, sweat and tears, many years,
Inspiration
Will never run dry
Inspiration will never run dry
Look out:
Jazz is cool again
Inspiring even foolish hooligans
To feel the joy
To feel the freedom
of swi-i-ing again….
Rebirth of the cool
Rebirth of the cool
(trumpet solo: Andrew McAnsh)
Talkin’ about the magical styles of Miles
The charmin’ way of Carmen McRae
The legend of a young Mr. Lester Young
Oceans of blood, sweat and tears, many years,
Inspiration will never run dry
It’s time to listen up, time to fill your cup
To feel the ripple, the world is catching up
To the splashing waves of freedom
Rebirth of the Cool
Rebirth of the Cool
Rebirth of the Co-oo-oo-oo-ool
Rebirth of the Co-oo-oo-oo-oo-ool
<scat solo>
Rebirth of the Cool

21st Century Blues
06:18

Feelin’
Complete and utterly disconnected.
I’m feelin’
Dead as a battery
When piracy is common and privacy is dead
You’re watching cable news, you slowly fill with dread
You got the 21st century
Nothing’s elementary
Everything is in the air blues
Literally the air – literally the air – literally the air
Contains your nana, your papa, your mama, your dadda,
I’m talking about all of your data
You know that ain’t right but you can’t put up a fight!
Baba ilya dut boot loodi duy!
The craziest thing happened to me last night,
Last night when I was scrolling down my feed.
I said to myself “Man I want some honey!”
And the very next thing I saw an ad for honey!
Is somebody spying on me?
Well now I see
I don’t doubt it
I can’t live with this #$% and I can’t live without it!
(alto saxophone solo: Alison Young)
(guitar solo: Nathan Hiltz)
(piano solo: Attila Fias)
(tenor saxophone solo: Colleen Allen)
(bass solo: Alex Bellegarde)
I got the 21st century blu-u-u-u-u-es
Everything is in the air
Oh how I wish that I didn’t care
Believe it or not, we still got a whole lot to lose.
That’s why I got the 21st century BLUES!
Yeah.

Is it Googleable?
Everything under the sun is
Googleable
Betcha a million to one that
If you're sleeping on a mattress
And you've got an email address
You're googleable!
Do you google all day?
Rather than scratching your noodle?
That's okay
Go on and google and google and google
Ask your browser any question
Here are just a few suggestions
That people google away:
How do I get pregnant?
how do I get a six pack fast?
What is a Facebook poke?
How do I delete my cookies ?
What's the most effective diet?
Is life a cosmic joke?
Google apps theey’re the best,
Skeptics eventually clue in,
Who might have guessed
Other than Marshall McLuhan -
that the modern search for meaning
Would be so speedy discreet
and oh so easy to repeat,
Google anywhere -
Even in your underwear!
Your search did not match any documents.
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Or more general keywords.
If you search for "love" you will find
Over 2.7 trillion results
Would you like to use your current location?
Who invented egg nog?
How do you cure the hiccups?
How much does Santa weigh?
How do you spell Chanukah?
How do you make the Yuletide gay?
Well it's the quickest, the best
Way to solve any dispute now
If you are stuck, I really think
You should reboot now
Use the modern search for meaning
It's oh so speedy, so discreet
Oh so easy to repeat,
Everything is googleable!
(and if you’re looking for the lyrics to this song, well, you know where to find them!)

I totally love the sophistication behind Sir-Vere’s songwriting - one might even think it’s simplistic and primitive, but after many years of digging into progressive and technical music I’d say it takes way more skill to compose and record something as big as LOVESCOPE.
