Lyrics:

Fair at first, then second went great
Far out, far out far out far out

Was it faith, what a thrill
Far out, far out far out far out
We did it together, we did it apart
We got it together, far out

Far out...

Was it fate, was it will?
If it could, it should, it would, it shall
We sailed together, we channeled apart
Always together, far out

Far out...

What was it, that was it?
What was it, that was it?
Did, didn't, if, ifn't, same diff

Far out...

Third was something new, fourth was even more
Far out, far out far out far out
We made it better, we went farther
We did it together, far out

Far out...

VERSE:
Oo-we, oo we are gonna take
Oo, we're gonna take a trip tonight
Ah yeah. Oh yeah, have some fun
We’re gonna have-a fun till we’re done

Never been so high
Feel like I’m falling, falling, falling
Falling high
Worlds above me, all the world’s below me
Rolling and falling, flying and falling
Rolling so low

Oo-we, oo we are gonna take
Oo, we’re gonna take a flight tonight
Oh My, Oh I never been so light
Never felt delight like tonight
Yeah, we’ll fly...

Evil I

From the album Hold On
Words and music by Billy Dechand
© 2003 Bucktooth Music (ASCAP)

What did you think I would do when I saw you feeling down
Did you expect me to check if I could make anything better
Bet you were shocked when I did not, but just made your life worse
Proud of myself, relaxed, I laughed at your terse little frown

It was a beautiful day, even I could see the sky was blue
No sign of rain, I was pleased to see you in pain
You deserve what you got and I hope that you rot in a pool of regret
I’ll never forget ‘cuz the pay for revenge is my own expense

CHORUS:
I look in the mirror at my own eyes
They’re looking at me, I can’t get away
I turn to the side , but they’re determined to stay with me
I try but I cannot hide – Evil I

Perhaps you recall, I’m quite sure, how you put me down
It was this time last year, plus a month, on a sunny Sunday
You slighted my grace and delighted my friends by dissing my shoes
I stared hard and glared so I could burn a hole right into you

CHORUS

So you thought if you bought me a gift I’d forget and forgive
That’s a lot to expect as I obsess on events I’m always reliving
Holding a grudge, I never let go, or see anything good
I could I know now, but no I doubt if I would

Every Dog Has His Day

From the album In Dog's Country
Words and music by Billy Dechand
© 2007 Bucktooth Music (ASCAP

Lyrics:

Most of our days we dig in the dirt
Kicking up dust, for whatever it's worth
Most of our nights we howl at the moon
Bearing our souls, a scary and beautiful tune

HOWL 

But once in a while
Maybe once in a lifetime
We feel the heat of the light of the lime
As a friend holds up a glass
To toast us at last and celebrate

CHORUS:
Every dog has his day
Every beast has a tail
Every sun is a star
A dog who catches a car

Every sea has a coast
Every coast has a bay
Just as every boat needs to sail
Every dog has his day

Notes:

This one also has a proper lead sheet.

In Dog's Country is a musical about two dogs, a cat, a squirrel, and The Man. This  song in particular was inspired by this Far Side comic:

Every Day Is Today

From the album Post
Words & music by Billy Dechand

Tires screech as we turn
Round the bend
Wind blows cold
Glass is blurred, crashes heard
All we see
Rain falls

CHORUS:
Every day is today
I don’t know what to say
Tomorrow is another day
I’ll know when
Tomorrow is today
However then
I won’t have much to say about today

Forest fire
California noon
Wind blows more
With every moon
Grass is burned, seasons turn
All we see
Rain fails

Another Day
All we need
You and me
Wind, blow home
Lasting thirst, clouds return
All we see
Rainfall

CHORUS

Don't Worry

From the album Hocus Pocus
Words and music by Billy Dechand
© 1999 Bucktooth Music (ASCAP)

Lyrics:

I found out the hard way
How to make you cry
I walked in and I spoke my mind
I spoke my mind, and walked away

We fancied we knew the rules
But we were fools
We made mistakes and never forgave
You and I deserve a second chance

Don't worry whether I really love you
There's no need to worry
Whether I really need you
I still love you
I will not leave you

You showed up in the nick of time
For I thought I knew
There would never be love in my life that lasts
At last! You came and stayed

You still wonder if I'm the one
Who will stay with you
All I want is to spend time with you
Everywhere, every day; I'll find a way

Don't worry whether I really love you
There's no need to worry
Whether I really need you
I still love you
I will not leave you

Chords:

verse: G F Em D (3x) G D Em F

chorus: C Am C Am D F C Am (2x)
