Haloes
Words and Music by SHAKE YOUR PEACE!
Nora brings us lavender and homemade breads.
The bread is still warm, and it steams on my porch!
Even the roses stick out their noses in jealousy,
Watching a love that is lighter than heat
Still rising in the summer.
Her smile works at the local nursery and I
Know her mouth knows blossoms and leaves,
She slaps wildflowers high fives when she’s in Utah’s mountains
And kisses them and eats them, and giggles on their petals
With her woman breath and freckles
Lightly dancing on their rustic grace and hardy
swaying green. She’ll thank the fields
And harvest some, and a few blessed plants may find
Their way to a leafy halo that’s growing
Around her peaceful head.
-----------------------
Every feather we find we put in our hair for the magic,
But ravens are mine and Nora’s are wrens.
We moved to the city so sometimes the pigeons will hear
From a passing swallow who we are
And throw us a feather.

To Protest the War
Words and Music by SHAKE YOUR PEACE!
(played on a “C” harmonica)
Bb C C F
Woke up today to protest the war
grabbed my harmonica and ran out the door
Feathers in my hair to protest the war
and I’m shaking my peace til my peace gets sore!
Walking down the street to protest the war
Walking like America’s my freedom dance floor
Kiss my lovey…to protest the war!
Then I rolled down the grass hill by the grocery store (why not?)
CHORUS 1&2
We were screaming: “Who’s streets? Our streets!”
I saw an old Jewish grandma getting beat
And then the cops, they jerked me off my feet
Thought I came out today to protest the war, but…
1- I’m just gasping/ 2- now I’m fighting for my freedom of speech
I didn’t come to fight with the NYPD
Riot cuffs are on my wrists, they’re making it a show
They’re spraying mace into the crowd as they scream “Let him go!”
Though their badges have eagles they throw my feathers in the gutter
I say “I can’t feel my fingers” so they make the cuffs tighter
Then they take us all to jail and ask good terrorist hunting questions
Like: “Tell me who you voted for in the last election.”
And “Which one of these 500,000 people told you about this secret insurrection?”
And “Don’t you love America and respect The Constitution and its sections?!?!”
CHORUS 2
So now I gotta new way to protest the war
So the NYPD redcoats don’t put me behind bars…again
“Who’s troops? Their troops!” No I’ll tell you whose they are
Every activist and lefty who still drives a stinking car
So now I’m going to the beach to protest the war
Where redcoats’ tea was once thrown in the harbor
We don’t need their hammers to build a new floor
We’re doing it ourselves: We’re making salt on the shore!

ON THE HUDSON
Note: "The repeating fiddle melody is a Whup hack of Hassan Hakmoun’s “Saade” (which he recorded and sung on Kronos Quartet’s “Pieces of Africa”). The tune was introduced to Gabe in hacked form by electronic composer/ cellist Cosmo D in the middle of a rooftop party they were playing together on New York’s Lower East Side in 2003(2?4?), and Gabe started improvising lyrics over the groove about the houseboat he was living on with his then-girlfriend. Gabe continued hacking Cosmo D’s version, and it soon became what you’re hearing here."

Gonna live the simple life baby
Gonna live the simple life mama
We can see the fishboat lights
Sleep out underneath the night
Gonna live the simple life baby
Gonna love you all my life baby
Gonna love you all my life mama
River storms and river tides
Still held between two riversides
Gonna love you all my life baby
Sail me up the Hudson River
[background: saaa aaaa aaail]
Sail me up the Hudson mama
From the Half Moon deck I see
Houses in the golden green
Sail me up the Hudson River!
Singing on the Hudson River
Singing on the Hudson mama
Sing of avocado trees and ships
And unborn children in your hips
Singing on the Hudson River!
There’s a five-piece gospel band
Inside the heart of every man!
Gonna live the simple life baby!
