Indecision
When you’re falling
Do you look up towards the sky
When you’re falling
Does you accept, do you deny
When you’re boiling
With indignation as you read the news
When you're sleeping
Do you dream in rhythm & blues
Open the bottle
Open the bottle and look inside
Is it thirsty,
Does it want to be realized
But indecision
(When will you finally decide)
Indecision
Are we leaving or have we arrived
When you’re first feel
down in pair lovely lips
When you’re screaming
Are you following a script
I hear the prayer
I hear the Muslim to the call
I see the stranger
See his thumb as he hitchhikes home
In a strange town
Pines are green and the mountains brown
Coffee’s brewing
Morning mist and a distant sound
But indecision
(When will you finally decide)
Indecision
Are we leaving or have we arrived

Fireflies (Capo on 5)
Ooohhh Ohhhh
Fireflies on the northern lights
Singing like they know it like a lullaby
Got up for the both of us
Speeding like a demon to the sacrifice
Now we're all eating from the golden spoon
Hockey like a body when it hits a monsoon
You held up and you paid the price
Looking for a booking of your own device
Ohhh.. Fireflies
Fireflies in a shopping mall
make it to the lake and do a cannonball
Looked deep in the cream of your eyes
Feeling like I’m staring at an early sunrise
But you were waiting for apologies
thinking there’s a clash of ideologies
Jaw dropping in the night sky
moving’ like they glowing with a kryptonite
Ohhh.. Fireflies
Bridge
Fireflies bringing back the blues
drinking like an open bar without the booze
You don’t want to see em anymore
swimmer with a glimmer on the sandy shore
city lights keep the night a blaze
Fender hit a bender and you count the days
The bonfire of the vanity
pluck it like a bucket of insanity
Ohhh.. Fireflies

One For The Mondays

One For The Mondays
I wake up in the morning
Well aware that it's not worth thinking of
Leave the bed get my grounding
Pick up my weight am I even awake and it’s
One for the Mondays
Two for the Tuesdays
Three for the Wednesdays
And something's always dragging me down
Push myself to do better
Well aware that I'm not getting wiser
Watch some self-help videos
Check my pulse is my brain an idiot and it’s
One for the Mondays
Two for the Tuesdays
Three for the Wednesdays
And someone’s gonna be coming around
You said you'd take care of me
When I grow old
Well Ding Dong I'm an invalid
Ding Dong I'm an invalid
And I'm gonna retire
Yes I'm gonna retire
Check my clock every evening
Well aware I may never wake up again
But it's not worth thinking no
Cause my lover is also my best friend
And it’s one for the Mondays
Two for the Tuesdays
Three for the Wednesdays
And something's always dragging me down
One for the Mondays
Two for the Tuesdays
Three for the Wednesdays
And someone’s gonna be coming around

Calories
Take a hard look in the mirror
All the faces you see
All the glass and the breeze.
You wanted me to teach you
But the lessons you learn
Decide to change the rules.
Bicycle tires got flat
And you really got fat
Ol hungry eyes.
Ooohh
Ohh the calories, calories
That you burn
With every tear
If flattery is
The only curse
And it's a courtesy
You know it’s a matter of fact
But you’re still glad you asked
Ol Hungry eyes
Ooohh
Bicycle tires got flat
And you really got fat
Old hungry eyes.
Ooohh

This Coffee Is Killer
(DADF#AE - CAP3)
This coffee is killer
It’s really quite good
It’s been a long night
And I ain’t feeling so good
She left me last evening
Just walked out the door
So please top me up
If you’ve got any more
Black no sugar
Right up to the top
Cause I’ve been to the bottom
Ive wept my last drop
The only soul I ever truly loved
Has split the scene
Now all I’ve got is a waitress
And this dose of caffeine
This coffee is killer
It’s clearing my head
I can hardly sleep
In a big empty bed
So jolt my senses
And numb my aching heart
Pour me another cup
Let’s drink to a fresh start
Solo
So mix up a brew
Help me get through the day
Black no sugar
Keep em coming my way

Song That Wants To Be Sung
The plants that live to be talked to
the chair just likes to be sat on
The sunset loves to be looked at
Until it’s followed by moonlight
Friends that are friendly to be with
The chord that needs to be strummed
And where is all this coming from
The song that wants to be sung
wants to be sung
wants to be sung
wants to be sung
The floor that creaks to be walked on
The match that can’t wait to be sparked
The gun that is ready for combat
The blood in need of a heart
the cake the dreams of a birthday
with candles who love to be blown
The town that grows to a city
the house that’s good to be home
It’s good to be home
Proud to be home
It’s good to be home

Not In Your Head

Not in Your Head
It’s not in your head
it’s what’s in your heart
Most people go with
the sun fades away
It’s not in the attic
it’s in the basement
Put it on display and
don’t be afraid to go there
It’s not in your heart
it’s in the soul
tearing you apart
not to lose control
to get there
Oooohh We’ll get there soon
It’s not in your head
it’s in your heart
escapes me every day
but I’ve got an olive
It’s not in your head
it’s in your heart
Let the bastards bled
I saw the blood and go there
It’s not in your head
that’s in the heart
breaking the bread
tearing it apart
Oooohh We’ll get there soon

Hey Buddy
Hey!
Buddy
Turn it down now
You play your music too loud
Hey!
Buddy
Turn it down now
Neighbours are going def
We don’t wanna
Listen to reggae
Eight hours a day
We just want
Some peace to drink in
And listen to the birds
Singing their song
La La La La…La La La
La La La La…La La
Singing their song X2
Hey!
Buddy
It's way too loud now
Nothing to be proud of
Hey!
Buddy
Listen to reason
I can feel the boiling in my blood
We just called
the local police
They should be on their way now
There’s too much LL Cool J
Think you’re god’s own private DJ
Pull the plug man it’s closing time
La La La La…La La La
La La La La…La La
It’s quitting time X2
You act like a tool
what makes you think this behaviour is cool
the punishment is way too cruel
Hey
Buddy!
all the neighbours hate you
what did you expect
hey buddy
At this volume
Maybe maybe you should get your hearing checked
Don’t need to listen
to your bootlegs blasting
for eight hours a day now
We had a hard week of actually working
Now we want a little piece to smoke
and get high
La La La La…La La La
La La La La…La La
A little peace to get high X4

Jon Cohen Ex Montréal, Québec
Fantasy prom king, master crafter of cult-pop gems and multi-threat instrumentalist Jon Cohen Experimental creates sweet but potent stories that spring from curiosity. This dynamic one-man band's beguiling art rock inventions and melodic hooks promise a sultry escape from those pesky workaday hang-ups. At times folksy, indie and at times grungy, the E.L.O vs. 90’s vibe is raw and unapologetic. ... more
