Boss Boss
© and ℗ 2018 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
They used to be your friend
You remember
But that came to an end
You know why
When your friends turn into bosses
You better count your losses
Chorus:
They became the boss, boss
They became the boss, boss
They became the bossiest boss in all the world
They became the boss, boss
Verse 2:
Everything goes better
With a boss
You’d better go and get her
You know why
You just don’t know what to do
When your boss is not there to help you
Chorus:
They became the boss, boss
They became the boss, boss
They became the bossiest boss in all the world
They became the boss, boss
Bridge:
Your supervisor
Is so much wiser
Is so much better
Than you have ever been
’Cause they’re the boss now
They are the boss now
They are the boss and they can
Never be your friend
I see right through you
You can’t fool me
Verse 3:
You know you’re at a loss
Without your boss
Whatever would you do
No clue
Your bosses know it all
They think they know it all
Chorus:
They became the boss, boss
They became the boss, boss
They became the bossiest boss in all the world
They became the boss, boss
City Lights

Verse 1:
City lights
City streets, running feet, in the rain
City streets, it’s a game, all the same
As yesterday
Chorus:
City lights, city lights, city lights, city lights 2x
Verse 2:
When we meet
Where we stay, when we stay, it’s the same
As yesterday, city streets, we’re complete
And it’s today
Chorus:
City lights, city lights, city lights, city lights 2x
Bridge:
It’s my city, it’s so pretty
In my city, city lights
It’s my city, it’s so pretty
In my city, city lights
Verse 3:
In the night
Till the light, when we meet, city lights
City streets, when we touch, it’s too much
’T was yesterday
Chorus:
City lights, city lights, city lights, city lights 3x
Ctrl-Alt-Delete
© and ℗ 2018 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
We're on the information highway
On Instagram and Twitter all day
We've got an iPhone in each hand
We're on Facebook till the end
We've got nothing else to do
We know of nothing else to do
Chorus:
I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete my brain
I'm gonna start all over again
Don't want a virus in my head
So what I'm gonna do instead
’Cause it's driving me insane
Ctrl-Alt-Delete my brain
Verse 2:
We get our news from every corner
But we’re afraid of every foreigner
And with our iPads in our hands
We've already made our plans
We've got nothing else to do
We know of nothing else to do
Chorus:
I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete my brain
I'm gonna start all over again
Don't want a virus in my head
So what I'm gonna do instead
’Cause it's driving me insane
Ctrl-Alt-Delete my brain
Verse 3:
We're strangers in our own existence
It's time to build a strong resistance
It's like we're on some kind of drug
It's maybe time to pull the plug,
We've got nothing else to do
We know of nothing else to do
Chorus:
I’m gonna Ctrl-Alt-Delete my brain
I have to start all over again
Don't want a virus in my head
So what I'm gonna do instead
’Cause it's driving me insane
Ctrl-Alt-Delete my brain
Ctrl-Alt-Delete my brain
Ctrl-Alt-Delete my brain
Ctrl-Alt-Delete my…brain
Dipshit Kid

So where the hell have you been?
You only just turned sixteen
Barely done playing Lego
You got your gf preggo
But you don’t care
Chorus:
You’re just a dipshit kid
You always ruin it
You break your collarbone
You break your iPhone
Your parents pay or it
Grandparents pay for it
You’re such a dipshit kid

You drank your mother’s booze
You found your father’s bong
Your grandpa gives you weed
You think it’s all so sweet

You break your collarbone
You break your iPhone
Your parents pay or it
Grandparents pay for it

You’re just a dipshit kid
And you don’t care

Don't Be an Asshole
© and ℗ 2019 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
Don’t take up two spots parking your car
You may think you’re alone, yet here we all are
You can be direct, but you shouldn’t be rude
Just be polite, it’s not that hard to do
All people are equal, live and let live
Don’t hold a grudge, but forget and forgive
Don’t block the sidewalk, you’re not the police
A blind man may just want to go by, so please
Don’t smoke in parks when there’s kids everywhere
Go a fair distance and don’t spoil the air
Don’t use the F-word with children around
Just mind your language, it’s not a nice sound
Clean up your dog poop, I know it’s a drag
The street looks much cleaner, so just bring a bag
Chorus:
Don’t be an asshole, don’t be a jerk
But do what you can to make it all work
At home, on the street, or in school, or at work
Just don’t be an asshole and don’t be a jerk
Verse 2:
When you lead your life with the people around you
Start thinking of how you do what you do
When you’re watching a movie, turn off your phone
Others are there too, you’re not there alone
Please use your blinkers when you turn left or right
And switch on your headlights when it’s dark at night
There’s kids on the street, so don’t run a red
And don’t ignore stop signs, you may end up dead
Bullying people who are different from you
Is so not cool! What if they did that to you?
Don’t leave your shopping cart, put it away
Damaging cars is not okay
Say please and thank you, say sorry too
Good manners are easy, that’s nothing new
Chorus:
Don’t be an asshole, don’t be a jerk
But do what you can to make it all work
At home, on the street, or in school, or at work
Just don’t be an asshole and don’t be a jerk
Endverse:
And most importantly, don’t drink and drive
Be a DD and arrive alive
Chorus:
Don’t be an asshole, don’t be a jerk
But do what you can to make it all work
At home, on the street, or in school, or at work
Just don’t be an asshole and don’t be a jerk
Don’t be an asshole, don’t be a jerk
But do what you can to make it all work
At home, on the street, or in school, or at work
Just don’t be an asshole and don’t be a jerk
Get a Doughnut

Going through the drive-thru
That is what we all do
Tim Hortons to the rescue
Fifty folks in front of you
Chorus:
Get a doughnut
Get a doughnut
Get a doughnut with your coffee
Get a doughnut
Get a doughnut
Verse 2:
By the time you get your ammo
A paper cup of hot joe
Giving you some gusto
Cappuccino or espresso
Chorus:

Get a doughnut
Get a doughnut with your coffee
Get a doughnut
Get a doughnut
Verse 3:
Fill me up with caffeine
Squeeze them out, those coffee beans
My body’s favourite gasoline
Makes me run like a machine
Chorus:
Get a doughnut
Get a doughnut
Get a doughnut with your coffee
Get a doughnut
Get a doughnut
Ham and Eggs
© and ℗ 2019 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
In the morning, or in the afternoon
When the sun is high, or with a full moon
I don’t want haute cuisine
Want nothing complex
All I want for a meal is ham & eggs (2x)
Chorus:
Ham & eggs is what I’m saving for
Ham & eggs is what I’m craving for
Ham & eggs is what I like the best
Ham & eggs, and you can keep the rest

In a restaurant, or in a drive-thru
Don’t get me donuts, or any Irish stew
Don’t want no fancy stuff
No obscure objects
All I want for a meal is ham & eggs (2x)

Ham & eggs is what I’m saving for
Ham & eggs is what I’m craving for
Ham & eggs is what I like the best
Ham & eggs, and you can keep the rest

I don’t like Thai food, or any specialties
So, for my supper
And my midnight snacks
All I want for my meal is ham & eggs (2x)

Ham & eggs is what I’m saving for
Ham & eggs is what I’m craving for
Ham & eggs is what I like the best
Ham & eggs, and you can keep the rest
Ham & eggs is what I’m saving for
Ham & eggs is what I’m craving for
Ham & eggs is what I like the best
Ham & eggs, and you can throw away the rest
How's Yo Sista?
© and ℗ 2018 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
Here I am with all these people
Asking all these questions all the time
How are you? How’s your dog?
How’s your mother? How’s yo sista?
How is work? How is life?
How’s the weather? How’s yo sista?
Chorus:
How’s the weather? How’s yo sista?
How’s the weather? How’s yo sista?

Every time I see the same people
And I keep telling them I’m fine
I’m okay, I don’t have a dog
My mother passed away, but not my sista
Work still sucks, life passes by
The weather’s shit, but not my sista
Chorus:
How’s the weather? How’s yo sista?
How’s the weather? How’s yo sista?
Verse 3:
So, if you really care about me
Ask me something real and don’t pretend
Show some interest, be a friend
And don’t ask me the same thing every time
How’s yo sista? How’s yo sista?
How’s yo sista? How’s yo sista?
Chorus:
How’s yo sista? How’s yo sista?
How’s yo sista? How’s yo sista?

Letter in the Mail
© and ℗ 2019 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim

Every morning I’m hoping for more bills to pay
But without warning there’s a letter from you
As I’m walking to the front door

But all there is, is that letter from you

All the other letters that you sent
Can’t get myself to burn ’em
Why don’t I just return ’em
Because things will never be like before

The Mighty Band
© and ℗ 2019 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
He read it in the paper
It was on the radio
He heard it from his friends
And it was on a TV show
The mighty band is coming to town
The greatest show is going to go down
He bought his ticket in advance
He didn’t want to take a chance
The greatest show is coming to town
Verse 2:
He has almost all their albums
Except the latest one
He still has to earn some money
Before he can call it done
The mighty band is coming to town
The greatest show is going to go down
He bought his ticket in advance
He didn’t want to take a chance
The greatest show is coming to town
Verse 3:
That Tuesday night is coming
It’s only days away
The anticipation for his
Favourite band to play
The mighty band is coming to town
The greatest show is going to go down
He bought his ticket in advance
He didn’t want to take a chance
The greatest show is coming to town
Verse 4:
Then finally that night came
He got to see his band
That November night in ’69
From beginning to the end
The mighty band is coming to town
The greatest show is going to go down
He bought his ticket in advance
He didn’t want to take a chance
The greatest show is coming to town
Verse 5:
Fifty years down the line
The boy has gotten old
But he remembers that night well
And the memory is gold
The mighty band was coming to town
The greatest show was going to go down
He bought his ticket in advance
He didn’t want to take a chance
The greatest show was coming to town
The greatest show was coming to town
The Old Man and the Sea
© and ℗ 2019 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
Arthritic fingers shaped like claws
Aching knees that make him pause
The old eyes, the wrinkled face
His crooked body out of place
His vision sharp despite the years
Today it isn’t death he fears
The sea the colour of his eyes
Tears are falling as he cries
Chorus:
The old man and the sea
The old man and the sea
How can he see in the future
When all he has left is the past
He’s ready to let go at last
The old man and the sea
Verse 2:
The old man walked and walked his road
A hard and heavy path he strode
The cruel sea took both his sons
But they were not the only ones
The cold grey water took his wife
And ended so her precious life
The memories are always clear
But often they will bring a tear
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Verse 3:
The sea, his love, to whom he’d sing
He hates her more than anything
He slowly walks the sandy beach
His distant history out of reach
The old man’s life has passed him by
His death will come, the end is nigh
The cancer’s eating him away
But his life will be the sea’s today
Chorus:
The old man and the sea
The old man and the sea
How can he see in the future
When all he has left is the past
He’s ready to go home at last
The old man and the sea
The old man and the sea
The old man, the sea
The sea
Radioman
© and ℗ 2018 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
When I drive to work
In my beat-up car
With my mug of joe
And an old guitar
And the radio’s on
And the music’s loud
When I drive to work
That’s what it’s all about
Chorus:
I listen to the AM in the AM
I listen to the FM in the PM
In mono or in stereo
I’m a radioman
Verse 2:
I’m drumming on
The steering wheel
I think you know
How good that that feels
The song that’s on
Makes me want to stay
When I drive to work
On a rainy day
Chorus:
I listen to the AM in the AM
I listen to the FM in the PM
In mono or in stereo
I’m a radioman
Verse 3:
When the work is done
Then the music starts
And those first few notes
Really touch my heart
In the afternoon
When I’ve gone out far
While I’m driving home
In my beat-up car
Chorus:
I listen to the AM in the AM
I listen to the FM in the PM
In mono or in stereo
I’m a radioman
In mono or in stereo
I’m a radioman, I’m a radioman

What I'm Talking About
© and ℗ 2019 Music & Lyrics by Peter Stutterheim
Verse 1:
In the courtyard by the river
It’s cold and damp now and we shiver
Raindrops falling on the asphalt
Double-decker buses coming to a halt
Chorus:
I don’t know what I’m talking about
I don’t know what I’m talking about
Everybody’s gonna scream and shout
And I don’t know what I’m talking about
Verse 2:
Emerald horseshoes in the graveyard
Everybody’s doing their part
In the morning before the sun comes up
In the corner of your eyes there’s a teardrop

I don’t know what I’m talking about
I don’t know what I’m talking about
Everybody’s gonna scream and shout
And I don’t know what I’m talking about

Better come home before the night falls
Early summer when the owl calls
Metamorphosis of a butterfly
Through an open window you can hear a baby cry

I don’t know what I’m talking about
I don’t know what I’m talking about
Everybody’s gonna scream and shout
And I don’t know what I’m talking about

This whole world does not make sense to me
But there is no place where I’d rather be
All the misery, all the beauty
This is one world and it belongs to me

I don’t know what I’m talking about
I don’t know what I’m talking about
Everybody’s gonna scream and shout
And I don’t know what I’m talking about
