Several of the plays have songs in them for which I’ve written lyrics. Here is a sample. “Temple of Love” from Children of Argos “Orpheus” sings this deliberately cheesy Europop number at Electra’s wedding. Hamish Binns, of the group Finis Terrae, composed and arranged the tune and sings it here. When our eyes met I knew I was fated for you and you for me too till forever When you looked back at me I could tell you could see it was just meant to be we together Come down Aphrodite and Zeus, play your parts Inhabit our bodies empower our hearts We’ll fly to Olympus and there up above we’ll worship each other in the temple of love Love, love, goddess of love, Olympic love, love me Love, love, goddess of love, Olympic love, love me Love me love me love me in the temple of love Love me love me love me in the temple of love When our love has begun and our bodies are one and we soar to the sun I’m a deity Love was never like this With just one little kiss Dionysian bliss for eternity Come down Aphrodite and Zeus… In addition, I’ve written lyrics for a few songs outside the plays. This one, with music by Ed Baker, is performed by his group, The Atwaters. You can hear it at their site. “Republican Woman” My baby drives a Hummer She gets her news from Fox She sold her stock in Enron Just before it hit the rocks She tells me that she loves me I think it’s all a pose She’s waiting for the Rapture To slip out of her clothes Republican woman If this is the land of the free Republican woman She ain’t no Lady... Liberty My baby dittos Limbaugh As if she had no brains She thinks the press is liberal And Saddam flew the planes She locks and loads her rifle She puts me in her sights She gives my name to Ashcroft When I ask to hear my rights Republican woman If this is the land of the free Republican woman She ain’t no Lady... Liberty She checks her mail for anthrax Even when it comes from me She’s got me censored I ain’t free Doesn’t pay no taxes Doesn’t feel my pain It’s enough to drive a registered voter insane My baby heard me talking She read the latest polls She told her friends in Florida To strike me from the rolls I feel so disenfranchised She screwed me yet again And please don’t get me get started On Republican men Republican woman If this is the land of the free Republican woman She ain’t no Lady...
