Mp3 Audio Mp4 "video" The Mad Again               (apologies to Lewis Carol) Lyrics by Harley Halpern, Music by Doug Smith   ‘Twas Grunin and the P.A.A. Did grumble on the stage; All gloomy was the stage crew,   And the Mad Again outraged.   Beware the Wilson Mark my son, The steely stare the haughty frown, And beware the Young Milk Shell And don’t eat lunch when they’re around.  You shouldn’t fool with the master crew And make them feel upstaged It’s bound to cost you once you’ve got the Mad Again outraged The Mad Again, The Mad Again, The Mad Again outraged The Mad Again, The Mad Again, The Mad Again outraged He took his crescent wrench in hand, And focused lights, and mopped the floor, He set up chairs and music stands, Then opened the stage door.  And there behind the door he saw The Wilson Mark as dark as night Battling the Young Milk Shell He nearly fainted from stage fright.   (chorus)

every couple fights about money about attention about     harmless searing flirtations     temptations, indiscretions and     thoughts every couple fights about passion    and lack of passion about furniture, fixtures, fantasies and    families    all those dysfunctional families and we don't fight about any of that     because we are                    not a couple and we fight about that knowing what i want you    choose to escape and knowing what you want i    senselessly cling    a mess of depressed repression unappealing    stealing every ounce of hope from the air and you repeat (repeat, repeat) that    we are NOT a couple but what about this love? -- douglas brent smith
