Song – Your Car Knows Exactly Who You Are above
Song lyrics are as good a way to describe the world as are “big expert theories” – – ‘blame your car.’
Fossil fuels create problems ranging from global warming and air pollution to water pollution of streams, lakes and oceans.
And, Your Car Knows Exactly Who You Are.

My Name, It Is Music
Song – My Name, It Is Music above
My Name, It Is Music
by John E Martin
Travel with me
I’m a travler through time
Your moments are precious
Your life is a rhyme
I’m just a feelin’
I live in your soul
My name, it is music
And I’ll ne’er grow old
So sing to the mountains
And sing to the trees
Whistle along with the
Leaves through the breeze
Tell me you love me
And tell me you care
Tell me you’re with me
And tell me you dare
Travel with me
I’m a travler through time
Your moments are precious
Your life is a rhyme
I’m just a feelin’
I live in your soul
My name, it is music
And I’ll ne’er grow old

It’s Gonna Shine, The Sun’s Gonna Shine
Song – It’s Gonna Shine, The Sun’s Gonna Shine above
It’s Gonna Shine, The Sun’s Gonna Shine
by John E Martin
Gas tank’s on empty
And the car’s drivin slow
Haven’t been able
To make my life go
Mary, she calls says
“Johnny, answer the phone
I got somethin’ to sell
And gettin’ down
To the bone
Ya know it
Won’t cost ya nothin’
Man,it’s up there
It’s free
It ain’t owned
By the voters
Or the utilities
It’s gonna shine
The sun’s gonna shine”
Well I’ve been beat up
And I’ve been torn
You know I,
I talked to God
I thought I
Was reborn
I’ve been hungry and tired
And cold and wet
I put my money on the ponies
And I lost my bet
I’ve seen the years grow shorter
And my friends grow old
But when I find myself
Out in the cold
It’s gonna shine
The sun’s gonna shine
If you got trouble
If ya lost your job
Well if ya
Lost your life
Or if ya think you’re a slob
When you’re
Out a money
And you’re
All alone
And the tax man calls ya
On the phone
And a pile a dirt
Is your best friend
When ya think life’s over
And you’re at the end
It’s gonna shine
The sun’s gonna shine
It’s gonna shine
The sun’s gonna shine
