Peter Ulrich Pt. 1: Three Unexpected Drummers!
Carpets and Bass Drums!
Strokes of Luck that Changed our Lives
The Cure became Judges with a bunch of Fives
We all took numbers, and we all took a Name
They were all unreadable when the next day Came
The Journey is The Thing!
Does anyone know the Way? There’s got to be a way
Fake it to Make it, then Lock it away
The Highs and Lows that made it Work
Difficult relationships created the Quirk!
The Bells are Ringing for me and My Pal!
A Constant Support from the Chaos Outside
The Rarity of Security was Peter’s Reality
Thirty years of always being taken on a Ride
Had Lol and Budgie seeking a safe place to hide
Booking The Cooks!
What the world don’t know, won’t hurt ‘em
They were TOO Good Looking for OUR own Good
Cheek bones to Die for, and Handsome on the inside
Dead Can Dance - Cooler than Frankenstein’s Bride!

Nabil Ayers Pt. 1: Sheet – We Need To Get Back In
Los Angeles Goes Out - Not Up!
Reinvigoration and we’re running up that hill,
But are we in the wrong sort of bungalow – Bill?
It was pots and pans and party time when Nabil was only two!
Happy House on Top of the Pops showed Budgie’s Ratamacue!
Drum lessons on the roof – of the National Geographic!
Inside the Hallowed world of the drummer’s secret handshake
All the drummers in Pasadena put together make an earthquake
A Night in the Museum with an Egyptian sort of sound
Genesis and Focus on the Oval cricket ground
Bow Bells are Ringing!
Cheech of Chong made Lol an Angelino
In the Biggest library in the Town of Televisino
An unlikely meeting of Minds at the LA Forum
Don’t tell Duff McKagan or even Matt Sorum
Books Books Books!
When your whole life drifts like a Spirit in the Sky
There’s no time left as Tears go By
The second one’s needed, so no need to sell ‘em
It’s a personal thing - it’s the way I tell ‘em
Memory is Not an Exact Science!
Don’t you Love me Baby?
But you condensed my life into half a chapter!
It probably didn’t fit the greater arc of the story
It’s not what happens - it’s how you remember it.

Reggie Watts Pt. 2: Out Of The Melting Pot Into The Fire
Love it to Death!
Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, and Led Zeppelin too
Adam Ant, B.A.D., Def Leppard and Yazoo?
All vying for airtime in Great Falls Montana
Would Lol’s Studded catsuit have raised a Hosanna?
Hey, What do You Do?
What is it that makes Reggie choose to risk all?
When counting a song in, could make a heart stall
It’s not a choice, it’s to brandish, the spiritual sword
It’s the old familiar wave, ‘neath an old surfer’s board.
How do You Stay Optimistic?
Get yourself some Private Ai – become a Super-brain
They’re all riding ticketless on a Berlin subway train
The only way is Up – away from the Big Corps
One potato, two potato, three potato, four
Improvising with Fusion!
Recycling everything is the New Future Dream
100-year lightbulbs become like Peaches and Cream
All we Need is Love and Reggie in the Race
We’re plotting our escape, to the much bigger place
We All Love Collaboration!
Music is the Victim – where does that leave us?
Solo improvisation – Get the Room to lead us
Music is the Funhouse of Mirrors and Smoke
You feel it coz’ it’s the real thing – not a bottle of Coke!
