    they’re not gaming spies

  4. Song A Day #426.  “The Big Thaw with Groupon”

    winter is leaving
    springtime’s on it’s way
    now’s the time for fun fun fun
    now is the time to play

    rock cliimbing
    sky diving tennis golf
    boat tours
    street fairs and paintball
    manicure pedicure
    put your sandals on
    we’re going to the beach with groupon

    you can find someone to help you clean your house
    or to landscape your yard
    car washes and boot camps
    to help your abs get hard

    whale watching outdoor dining
    biking and walking tours for real!
    you can even rent a Segway
    groupon’s got all the best deals

  5. Song A Day #425.  “How is The World Different?  Because of You”

    his and all song a day songs available for download at: www.jonathanmannmusic.com

    humanity multitudinous
    and it inspires awe
    full of sadness and full of goodness
    we struggle to do our best through it all
    there is difference
    there is sameness
    but each voice a voice whether it boom or squeak
    and though we were all born and parent’s named us
    but in the lives we lead we are unique
    in a world ever changing
    sometimes we hide from what is strange
    but we can shape the rearranging
    thus becoming the only constant change

    how is the world different? Because of you.

  6. Song A Day #424.  “Lonesome Valley”

  7. Song A Day #423.  “The Wonders of the Mighty Powerstrip”

    The plugged-in devices in your house may seem like innocent inanimate objects, but they’re actually evil creatures, sucking more and more energy, causing global warming and costing you lost of money. In this song, I reveal the simple but effective tool of their demise. The mighty powerstrip.

  8. Song A Day #422.  “Don’t/Just Give It Away”

    This song and all other song a day songs can be downloaded at:
    www.jonathanmannmusic.com

    Don’t just give it away
    Just give it away

    mouth to mouth
    eye to eye
    can you see me?

    when i went on my merry way
    and i saw the beach in sand
    i thought i saw the will of god
    i saw what he had planned

  9. Song A Day #421.  “Double Take”

    Download this song or any song a day song from www.rockcookiebottom.com

    my love lay slain by a snake in a field
    and i vowed to bring her back by any strength that i wield
    no mere death won’t stop me for my love is pure and hot
    and beside my music my love is all i got

    so i set out to locate those tunnels leading deep
    and i came upon the river styx where the boatman earns his keep
    and even as he barred my way with staff and coin and ring
    i brought up my ukulele and i started to sing

    finally i came to the land of the dead
    and i saw the face that all men do dread
    and the face it spoke with words so cold and bleak
    that i felt that i was dying even as i heard him speak

    abandon hope all ye that enter here
    though love be your purpose you live not without fear
    my heart has never known love and so i will not let her go
    not for you orfeo

    oh good king you think you know everything
    but it’s love that binds the world and makes it whole
    you words move me not nor your song, i see your thought
    my heart will not be moved
    as is your goal
    i’d gladly give my life for hers as the world without her lives in a curse
    i’d die so she can keep her beauty in the world
    your precious life you’d give so that the one you love may live
    my sleeping heart is shaken life a banner fresh unfurled

    the two of you may go
    but this doom i do decree
    you may turn around only once
    to make sure she’s following
    but if you should turn a second time
    then your quest will be undone
    she’ll remain with me
    and you’ll go back to the sun

    and that’s the story of how i lost the woman that i love twice
    the first time by no fault of my own and the second time by my own vice
    for in the darkness and the shadow
    my thoughts began to quake
    and before i know what had happened
    i did a double take

  10. Song A Day #420.  “Ringtone for Eóin Fay.”

    This song and all song a day songs available for download at www.jonathanmannmusic.com

    my name is Eóin Fay
    i’m from sudbUry
    i’m a grammar nazi
    and i’m afraid of zombies
    i’m a nerd
    i’m addicted to sushi
    i love beer and have lots of tattoos
    and i’m irish and proud of it
    i’m an ass man
    not a boob man
    i’m afraid of: earwigs!

  11. Song A Day #419.  “The Robin Hood Tax”

    This song and all song a day songs available for download at:
    www.jonathanmannmusic.com

    have you heard this joke? it’s funny.
    about a system out of whack
    how the banks all took our money
    and we’re trying to get it back
    trying to get it back
    but the banks all drag their heels
    just like we knew they would
    it’s time that we got real
    it’s time for Robin Hood

    It’s the Robin Hood tax
    Do the Robin Hood dance
    Also known as the Financial Transaction Tax
    Some people call it FTT for short

    all over the world
    hundreds of thousands of times a day
    financial assets are traded
    the robinhood tax, taxes these trades

    like stocks, bonds and foreign exchange
    traded both physically and as derivatives
    options, forwards, futures and swaps
    we’re talking speculative banking
    so it won’t effect you or me

    it’s the Robin Hood tax
    do the Robin Hood dance
    make the Robin Hood face
    yeah

    the rate of the tax would be
    between .5% and .005%
    and implemented globally
    would raise 400 billion every year

  12. Song A Day #418.  “Fuck You Day”

    www.jonathanmannmusic.com

    it’s a day lost in time
    it’s not that it’s a shame or crime
    but you lose the day
    and the day gives way to
    bullshit and stuff
    as if you didn’t already have enough
    things to do
    the day makes you
    angry

    fuck you day

  13. Song A Day #416.  “Can’t Fly.”

    contribution complicated by the inner critic hating all
    and more
    offering the only thing i sing as chickens beat their wings and still
    do not fly
    don’t fly
    chickens don’t fly
    chickens don’t fly
    mr. mystery is replicating all around me as i pick
    up my guitar
    the rock he brings to her as proof is proof enough but still
    he can’t fly
    can’t fly
    penguins don’t fly
    opening between the best and worst of times the time has nothing
    to say
    burying beneath the sand a head of fear and shame and gutless guilt
    she can’t fly
    ostrich can’t fly
    contribution complicated by the inner critic hating all
    and more
    wheels turn among the song of children playing in the park the sky
    look up in the sky
    humans can fly

  14. Song A Day #417.  “I Kind of Want an IPad.”

    I kind of want an iPad I kind of want one really bad Let’s just say that I’d be glad To get one as a birthday present If I don’t get one I’ll be kind of sad Less than pissed but just a little mad I kind of want an iPad But I don’t know why I do i don’t know why i do i wasn’t that impressed at the debut But my thoughts and feelings are kind of screwed when it comes to apple products i don’t know what i’d use it for but just knowing it was there in a drawer it’s the idea of it that i adore i resist but know i’ve lost it

  15. Song A Day #415.  ”This Much I Know.”

    oh i found out the thing i love the most i have to leave behind
    oh no one ever tells you that you’re on your own when you die
    some people try to take it with them when they go
    they don’t know
    some people cling like static to a balloon
    but they are fools

    oh you can’t force the well to give you water when the rain hasn’t come
    oh you can’t make it rain or change your nature even if you cut off your opposable thumbs

    some people they try and push it but the river goes
    where the river goes
    human beings have too much going on inside them oh
    this much i know

    i’m going where the wind blows free
    i’m going where i can be me
