The Art of Dispute

(Melanie Thompson)

All couples fight. That is a given. And I think we should fight. We should be able to express ourselves to the ones we love or to strangers. It is something that we should not avoid. Clear the air sometimes and you breath better. However, I think that when we do fight or argue we should do it in a manner that doesn't lead to hatred or violence. Make it a fair fight. Fair fights are permitted. Take the art of boxing for example. I love watching a good boxing match. And when I wrote this song I thought about boxing and all the rules that apply to that sport. If you are in a relationship learn to adjust. Learn to respect the one you love. Make some rules about how to argue your issues. And then follow them. Learn the art of dispute.

Verse 1. Most of the time 
 my baby and me 
 get along real good 
 happy, at peace. 
 Seldom take issue 
 but when we do 
 we practice the art of dispute. 

 She takes a side 
 and I take one too. 
 Try to defend 
 our point of view. 
 We never fight dirty. 
 We follow the rules. 
 Though there are many, 
 Here's just a few.

Chorus. No curse words permitted. 
 No slapping. No hitting. 
 No talk about who is at fault. 
 No jokes. No teasing. 
 No crying, that's cheating. 
 No dishes in pieces. 
 No holes in the walls. 

Verse 2. Eyeball-to-eyeball. 
 One-on-one. 
 Poised against each other, 
 at odds, head on. 
 If I'm egging her 
 and she's daring me, 
 we practice the art of dispute.

Chorus. No curse words permitted. 
 No slapping. No hitting. 
 No talk about who is at fault. 
 No jokes. No teasing. 
 No crying, that's cheating. 
 No dishes in pieces. 
 No holes in the walls. 

Verse 3. The art of dispute 
 is as ancient as time. 
 Created by great minds 
 much smarter than mine. 
 Passed through the ages 
 on hide and then stone. 
 Found underneath 
 some old dinosaur bones.

Chorus. No curse words permitted. 
 No slapping. No hitting. 
 No talk about who is at fault. 
 No jokes. No teasing. 
 No crying, that's cheating. 
 No dishes in pieces. 
 No holes in the walls.

Hello Banjo

By Melanie Thompson

We country folk love us some bluegrass music. And the major player in bluegrass music is the banjo. My grandfather played the banjo. And my mama told me that she loved to listen to him play. She said he was very good. Unfortunately, my grandfather died before I was born. So, I never had the honor of meeting him or of listening to him play his banjo. I wrote this song with three things in mind: the banjo, the south (where I grew up), and my grandfather. This song is dedicated to him and to all admirers of country music and lovers of bluegrass. To Grandpa Allen. Hope to see you in heaven.

The Distance Between Me and You

By Melanie Thompson

When we first meet someone we like, we believe them to be our soulmate. That special someone put here on Earth for us and us alone. But as time goes by and situations occur that feeling goes away. And when it does so do you. This song is about a couple who could not be away from each other for a minute. I knew this couple. And as the years rolled on, they both eventually separated and rolled themselves on too. One moved up there. The other up yonder. Never to see or speak to each other again. I hope you enjoy the lyrics. I enjoyed writing them.

The Piper

By Melanie Thompson

We all have done things we regret. Things that hurt others. Things that hurt us. I know I have. And for each bad thing, I have paid dearly. I have paid the Piper many times over. In fact, if I had a penny for every time that blood-sucking gangster came knocking at my door he would end up owing me. We can't run from the Piper. We can't hide from the Piper. He is a necessary evil. Or a necessary good? Maybe, he is simply justice. This song may seem dark, but it really isn't. When I wrote this song, I was thinking about how better off we all are when we take responsibility for our actions. That may sound nostalgic, but I believe it. And I hope you do to. My advice when you see the Piper. Just pay the man and move on.

Being Human

By Melanie Thompson

Today, it seems like a majority of people are insistent that they are "little gods" or have the powers of "the gods". Myself, I never wanted to be a "god". I never wanted superpowers either. I have my five senses given to me, to you, to us, from God. They are enough. We human beings are quite remarkable just the way we are. Sure, there is always room for improvement. But just look at us. How far we have come. The way we have seemed to survive against all the odds. If you are one of those who wish to be as great as God or better. I hope this song will change your mind. I hope you see just how great you already are. And I hope you understand and believe in your heart that it is O.K. to be human.

I Am Not A Joke

By Steven Soucy

This lyric is both quite serious and also tongue in cheek simultaneously. If that makes sense. Do you get to a point where you are sick of people not taking you seriously? I think we all do. But I'll tell you simply, I Am Not A Joke
