Loss Into Gain
He Followed Her
To Her Apartment
In 1963
She Gave Him Love
Made What Was Broken
Made Out Of Debris
She Always Turns
His Loss Into Gain
Always Turns
His Loss Into Gain
And When She Calls Him
On The Telephone Telephone
He Gets The Shivers
And Turns To Stone
It Makes Her
Jealous
And Now He Calls Her
By The Hour
It’s 1983
Thousands Of Songs
Written About Her
About Her Mind
Her Soul Her Body
And Now He Turns
Her Loss Into Gain
And When He Calls Her
On The Telephone Telephone
He Calls Her Over
She Turns To Stone
It Makes Him
Jealous

Quicksand
citizen of the world
twisted torn and twirled
strangers in disguise
dwell inside your eyes
they have seen too much
they have been too kind
like a wounded dog
they'll be left behind
Keeper of the peace
monotheist police
inflicting untold pain
you did it in god's name
you have rolled the dice
bluffed and cheated too
maxed out credit cards
your payments now overdue
like building castles on quicksand
with hope against hope there’s a master plan
Seeker of the truth
broke her wisdom tooth
wrote misguided books
charmed us with her looks
they got you pretty far
critically acclaimed
self-made superstar
all for the wealth all for the fame
like building castles on quicksand
with hope against hope there’s a master plan

Rock, Paper, Scissors
You Left Me In
A State Of Shock
Said I Was Paper
When You Needed Rock
With Just A Snip
You Cut My Heart
You Said We Needed
To Be Apart
Rock Paper Scissors
And Cotton Lovers
Brought Together
By A Higher Power
Until It Shattered
Like A Sheet Of Ice
And Love Is Not A Game
You Play With Dice
You Put One Hand Behind Your Back
Your Palms Are Sweaty And Your Nerves Are Wracked
Rock Paper Scissors
Best Out Of Three
You Got The Worst Out Of Me.
You Had It Good
But You Wanted More
How Could I Love You
You Were Keeping Score
I Never Been Too
Good At This Game
Just Pointing Fingers
And Laying Blame
Rock Paper Scissors
Maybe Matches Too
You Smother Fire
That Still Burns For You
Although You’re Winning
I Can't Understand
Why You Suffocate
Me In Your Paper Hand
A Palm For Paper
A Fist For Rock
Peace For Scissors
No Need To Talk
Rock Paper Scissors
Best Out Of Three
You Got The Worst Out Of Me.
As If I’d Ever Want To Play This Again
As If Id Ever Want To Play With You Again
The Game Is Over
The Scores Are Set
We’ve Had Out Fun
Though We Still Have Regrets
So Now You’re Playing
With Another Man
Clever New Schemes
To Get The Upper Hand
Rock Paper Scissors
Not Another Round
What’s Left Of Love
We Bury Deep In The Ground
We May As Well
Just Go Our Separate Ways
Or Even Play This Game
Again Another Rainy Day
If You Cut This Paper Heart There Are No Winners We Both Fall Apart
Rock Paper Scissors
Best Out Of Three
You Got The Worst Out Of Me.
Rock Paper Scissors
The Best Out Of Me
Rock Paper Scissors

Duck N Cover
I feel a wave of love
Hitting me smack in the eye
Cam in from up above
Silhouetting the sun
Though it hurt at first
It wasn’t worse than losing that love
Losing that love, losing that love
And it’s gone
I feel
A pang of loneliness
Barely pass me by
She wanna take away my happiness
For just a little while
I was outta luck
So I had to duck n cover
Chugga chchuga chuga ga
Duck n cover
Duck n cover x3 only .
I get a sense of awe
Tumbling over my head
They say you gotta watch out for Murphy’s Law
Think I’m better of dead
So I put on a bat
Step up to the bat
And hit a homer …..
Spit on the sand
And I’m gone
Duck n cover

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
