ME and GENGHIS KHAN
J SHOGREN
Director’s second collaboration with the graphic novelist
was about a hapless art student named Jerome
who refused to give up his dream of being the world's greatest artist
so he spent his nights and days painting drunk alone
if you got the men and the ships, I’ve got the sea
everything else we need we’ll plunder
I know you’re thinkin we’ll turn back eventually
But it’s your vision of love I will always remember
I’ve got the blues in three different ways
Two minds to leave, one to stay
me and Genghis Kahn woulda gotta along haphazardly
your vision of love I won’t let me be
Willim met a waitress, who was outta work awhile
Iceberg of love, tattooed across her shoulder
every morning for breakfast, she served up a smile
Well, he loved this woman so much he almost told her
if you got the men and the ships, I’ve got the sea
everything else we need we’ll plunder
I know you’re thinkin we’ll turn back eventually
But it’s your vision of love I will always remember
I’ve got the blues in three different ways
Two minds to leave, one to stay
me and Genghis Kahn would have got along haphazardly
your vision of love I won’t set me free
I’ve got the blues in three different ways
Two minds to leave, one to stay
me and Genghis Kahn woulda gotta along haphazardly
your vision of love I won’t let me be
You vision of love I won’t let me be

Big Blue Bird of Happiness
J Shogren (Jahajunti music, ASCAP, 2010)
The big blue bird of happiness
Loves a little blue girl in a long red dress
Who loves his big blue heart to death…Any chance she can
All the windows I opened up
She’s a little quicker, she nailed them all shut
I guess I can’t blame all my bad luck…On him again
And the big blue bird of happiness…Has got eyes redder than the sun
He found he can’t talk down the moon…With his yellow tongue
Everyone knows
Around here the wind never blows
In the big blue sky of emptiness
Smiles a little blue girl nevertheless
Laughs a big blue bird at his lack of success…As he tries and tries again
And the big blue bird of happiness…Is flying circles all around the sun
By now he should know you can’t talk down the moon
With his yellow tongue
Everyone knows
Around here the wind never blows
Around here the wind never blows
And the big blue bird of happiness…Has got eyes redder than the sun
By now he should know he can’t talk down the moon
…With his yellow tongue
Everyone knows
Around here the wind never blows
Around here the wind never blows
Around here the wind never blows….
