Flying into London but the Queen doesn’t care,
She says Abbie’s going downtown, you can visit her there.
Eating fish and chips and drinking ale in the pub, what a good time.

See the white cliffs of Dover, take the ferry to France,
We don’t know what’s coming next, but we’re gonna take a chance.
Climb aboard the bus where we’re meeting old friends for the first time.

And we’ll be touring the Cosmos…

Nostalgic Tears (Vicky’s Song)

Lyrics and music by Ed Perrone (BMI)

From the album, Nostalgic Tears (2003)

Clearing out the cobwebs from the attics of my mind
Sweeping off the dust from all the memories that I find
Hold them to the light and reminisce — but not too long
I have to go
To move along

Turning back the pages in the diary of my years
Leafing through the dreams and hopes, the sorrows and the fears
But now the pages crumble into dust and blow away
I can’t go …

Good for You

Digital single (2014)

Well, the Congresswoman tells her citizens,
“You know I feel the pain that you feel.”
And then she climbs into her limousine
To go eat a thousand-dollar meal.

And the President tells the people,
“I want our nation to be free.
But if the price of freedom is tyranny,
Well, that’s the way it’s got to be!”

And when are you going to realize
That they’re lying to your face?
They tell you what you want to hear
Just …

Inquisition

From the album, Holy Wars (2006)

All the witches are in chains and you peek out your window
Watch the priests drag them down the street to the burning ground
See the torches, feel the flames, and you hear them screaming
Hide your face, close the curtain, it’ll all go away.

Hear the righteous ones preach that it’s all for the good of the people
Send the sinners back down to the devil where they belong
But your heart says those sinners are really …

If Jesus Met Mohammed

Lyrics and music by Ed Perrone (BMI)

From the album, Holy Wars (2006)

If Jesus met Mohammed
What do you think they’d say?
Would they chat about the weather
Just to pass the time of day?
Would they wander down by the schoolyard
And watch the children play?
If Jesus met Mohammed
One fine day.

If they both ran into Moses
Hangin’ out at the traffic light
Would he say, “Hey, guys, I’m buying,
Let’s go out and have a bite”?
Would they laugh about the good times?…
