    A metaphor for "share the love..."

     

about

Another rough demo recorded moments after I wrote it...
Wish you could hear all the orchestration I could hear inside my head while writing this tune!

"Don't bogart the wine" was a throwaway line, ad-libbed writing this song. Many songwriters vocalize random syllables/words, searching for melody, and musical progressions. The subconscious occasionally manifests through these seemingly nonsensical words and phrases. revealing the power of the unconscious to direct our focus, and force awareness. Sometimes startling, sometimes strange, sometimes magically revealing...

The ending mantra rips off the Beatles lyric "All you need is love". I'm hoping the tag, "Baby, won't you give me some", flavors the lyrics uniquely enough to justify the rip!

Be generous with your love, nurture your talents (the ability to truly listen to a friend in need is one of the rarest talents) and cheerlead the passions & possibilities of others and yourself.. SHARE THE WINE...Baby, won't you give me some...

lyrics

DON'T BOGART THE WINE
(Baby, won't you give me some)

On the day that I died, Dr. Jekyll met Mr Hyde,
Choices from fear are gift-wrapped in pride..
I could’ve laid on the floor, and looked up your dress,
I could’ve been more, but I settled for less..
I guess I’ll see you at the dance on the other side..
Hope this road will go on forever..
A soul is mind out of time..
Never ever never, never ever never say never..
The future is blind..
Pass that bottle, don’t bogart the wine!

It was seventy-one, we were seventeen..
Your sticky buns were so sweet and clean..
Baby won’t you give me some..
An Olds 4-4-2 into a full moon night..
We smoked “Big Bambu”, we had the second sight,
Tried to outrun the sun..
Wish this road would go on forever..
Soul is mind out of time..
Never ever never say never..
The future is blind...
Pass me that bottle of wine..
Don’t bogart the wine..

Late ’08, almost fifty-five..
It’s a miracle I’m still alive..
Let’s eat the pie in the sky..
Baby won’t you give me some..
Sticky buns and steaming dreams..
A belly laugh, and a primal scream..
Thrill me with the smile from your eyes..
Baby won’t you give me one…


Wish this road would go on forever..
Soul takes time out of mind..
Never ever never say never..
The future is blind...
Baby, pass me that bottle of wine!
You gotta share the wine!
Share it baby!!


In the end, all that's left is love..
(Baby, baby, please won’t you give me some!)
In the end, all we need is love..
(Baby, baby..Baby, won’t you give me some!)
In the end, all that's left is love..
In the end, all we need is love..

I've posted some barely adequate recordings here, many bad writer's renditions, of a few songs I've written in my life. Most of my songs never recorded, likely never will be. No matter, just mutterings to myself. I'm a lyricist who believes that language is a dog chasing it's tail. Didn't immerse into human life as I probably should've, or perhaps I immersed too much. The dark births the light. ... more
