Remix – War On Venus
War on Venus – Original music by Magus
I posted this song before, but I have entirely remixed it. The new mix sounds far superior to the original. I also shortened the title from “Tales of War On Venus” to “War on Venus.”
Lyrics:
We sit, swapping war stories
We’ve barred all the windows and doors
Each of us covered in blood
Half of it mine, half of it yours
Two chairs, sitting face to face
The room is bare, otherwise
Suspiciously watching each other for
Sudden movements, any shift in the eyes
There’s a word for why we’re here
The trap, it fits us like a glove
Explains all the mess and the misery
And that four-letter word is love
Pause long enough to take a shot
From the big bottle of poison
We’re not much but we’re all that we’ve got
We sweat bullets and swear “You’re the one.
You’re the only one for me.”
Weapons at the ready, there in our laps
Fingers never far from the trigger
No one smiles, no one eats or sleeps
Shots of whiskey and resentment get bigger
It’s no mystery how or where
We both know who’s to blame, we insist
Each of us swearing that the other struck first
It was a case of love at first fist
There’s a word for why we’re here
This trap, it fits us like a glove
Explains all the mess and misery
And that four-letter word is love

God Willin’
God Willin’ – an original, psychedelic, art rock tune by Magus (Kevin Trent Boswell)
God Willin’
Devil jump on ya
When you least expect it
With blood lust in his eyes
But you’ll pull through
Like you always do…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Tax man poundin’ hard on your door
Taking everything your money implies
Without turning to crime,
You’ll survive on a dime…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Shacked up for love, but it didn’t work out
Ain’t it painful when the love all dies?
But you’ll get off the street
And find someone sweet…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Until the Lord himself
Knocks you off your feet
You keep on swingin’
And you can’t be beat
God willin’
Screaming Boss Man Jack,
‘bout to break your back
All your time out the window flies
You just smile and pick up his slack
Because one day you’ll get him back…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise
The rivers can flood
And the levies break
But you know you gonna do
Whatever it takes
God willin’
To pay your bills, you need a little scratch
So you borrow from Frankie
But there’s just one catch:
Frankie is one of them connected type guys
The juice is steep but you better not renege
Less’n you want ol’ Frank to break your leg
But you just know you’ll pay it off…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Drowning sorrows, feelin’ bereft
You done lost a friend
And didn’t have but one left
And now that joker’s runnin’ around town,
Spreading rumors and lies
Such a double crossin’ can’t happen twice
Because after all, most folks is nice;
At least that is…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Show ‘em a whole army
Can’t ring your bell
The devils, cheats and liars
They can all go to hell
God willin’

Intergalactic Funk #72
Yesterday was my birthday but don’t worry, you didn’t miss the party. I’m bringing the party straight to you:
It’s a 70s funk theme, set in outer space. So put on your best pair of corduroy bell bottoms and platform shoes, dip your head in a bucket of glitter and step out onto the launch pad. We’re about to take the funk to a whole new level.
Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Funkalyze.

Words and music by Trent Boswell
Lyrics
Walking down that road
With your hand in mine
This world will be ours
Just give me some time
Walkin’ toward the sunset
No, they haven’t beat us yet
We will watch the sunrise
From the other side
When our time is done here
Then we will walk on
To where we will meet God
To teach us a new song
Everybody’s Happy
You know that everybody smiles
The road that we are walking
Is measured not in miles

Tragedy
I met tragedy yesterday
On the south end, today
He smiled at me
Said “Walk this way”
He took my hand, said to me
“Welcome friend. You’ll be with me.”
Said “I’m pleased to know you.”
Said “I’m pleased to do you.”
Said “You may leave…”
“You will return.” He said
“You still smile, child…”
“But you will learn.”
I am no hope***
I said “I want my freedom.”
I said “I gotta be free.”
So, I told that man…
“Get the hell away from me.”
I want my life
I want my life
I want my life
Don’t need no tragedy
*** This is an unspoken lyric. It’s part of the original poem, included here for context.
