The Hard Taco Project
is a Simple Concept

I will write and record one song a month,
every month, until I am dead



I have been doing this since
1993 and so far my health is good.

Biosphere

Download Song


If you want to live like the people who live
In the Biosphere that live like the people who live
In the Biosphere that live
But livin' ain't easy.

What do you think of the people who live
In the Biosphere that live like the people who live
In the Biosphere that live
Then live!

So you think that you're a planeteer
Lend me an ear!
Why not turn that into a career...
On the geofrontier

The blood of nature has been spilt.
The horror we have built,
Forbodes a darkly morrow.
It haunts our daily egg,
Which hatches into sky-e-i-e-o.
For anyone, anywhere, anyhoo, everyone!

If you want to live in the Biosphere
Than you've got to forgive in the Biosphere
Welcome one and all to the Biosphere
Can you heed the call of the Biosphere
Way-o, way-o, it's the Biosphere
Way-o, man alive, it's the Biosphere
Way-o, way-o, it's the Biosphere
Way-o, man alive, it's the Biosphere.

Once I knew a girl a lot like you
But she was soy!
Couldn't find the things to see or do
So I yelled, "Oy!
I don't need you, I don't need you!
All I need is you!
This speech is my recital."
We're livin' life on the fly
We can kiss it all goodbye-e-i-e-o
To twigs and leaves, rocks and pines
Sticks and trees, lots of pines!

If you want to live in the Biosphere
Than you've got to forgive in the Biosphere
People work with gar in the Biosphere
And eat wheat from a jar in the Biosphere
Way-o, way-o, it's the Biosphere
Way-o, man alive, it's the Biosphere
Way-o, way-o, it's the Biosphere
Way-o, man alive, it's the Biosphere.

Oh man, alive.
Slap me with that jive.
Going steady ends.
But since you've ditched me,
Green enriched me,
Biosphere and friends!

And if I could I'd ride my bike.
That lonesome highway.
Five hundred miles.
But now I'm trapped inside this dome.
So I must roam,
Inside the Biosphere I fear.

Why'd you leave me here in the Biosphere
Why'd you leave me here in the Biosphere

Best Friends Forever

Download Song

From "Forced to Breed in Captivity"

Sunny days ahead
That is the forecast
Because you 're my best friend
If you broke your leg
I would sign your cast
Because you 're my best friend

Staying up all night
Watching the time pass
Rating the girls from class
Hey man, your sisters a fox
Kung Fu majorly rocks
Best friends forever
Best friends forever, now!

If we 're picking teams
I would select you
Because you 're my best friend
Not because you 're so good
But cause I respect you
And cause you 're my best friend

Need a book report
I'll do it for you
Cause that is what best friends do
Hell, yeah! You got an A.
High five coming your way
Best friends forever
Best friends forever, now

Staying up all night
Watching the time pass
Rating the girls from class
Lights out, call it a day
High five coming your way
Best friends forever
Best friends forever
Best friends forever
Best friends forever
Best friends forever
Best friends forever, now

Beowulf's Reply

Download Song

From "Beowulf: The Rock Opera"


Beowulf:
You've raised your objections, fine.
Now I'd appreciate if you'd hear mine.
I can tell you're all impatient so I'll keep this short
As a friendly emissary of the Geatland court,
I've been called upon for battle as a last resort,
But your men just sit around and whine!

Thanes:
They whine!
They whine!
They sit around and whine!

Beowulf:
Now to make my credentials known:
I'm the heir to the Geatland throne.
I was born with the brains of a hundred men
I can eat five cows, I can bench 310
I can bite through steel every now and then,
But usually just through stone.

Thanes:
Through stone!
Through stone!
He usually bites through stone!

Beowulf:
What upsets me is just this...
Hearing Unferth boo and hiss.
From a guy with a flair for losing fights,
He's afraid of cats and afraid of heights,
He's addressed as "sir" though he's dressed in tights
He's the prince of cowardice!

Unferth:
Why you...!

Thanes:
He's pissed!
He's pissed!
Now Unferth's really -

Unferth: Shut up! All of you... Okay, Beowulf, you want to prove yourself We'll see how you do tonight against GRENDEL!

Narrator: So Beowulf took his thanes and went into the sleeping quarters of Heorot. He took off his armor and put aside his weapons. He would not use them. The whole kingdom of Denmark held its breath as Beowulf and his fourteen thanes went to sleep.
