Reggae Sun Words and music Agasse/Townson There’s a place where I can go. In my mind I make it so. Down in Jamaica, Near Kingston town. I want you all to come with me. We’ll have fun down by the sea. Down in Jamaica, At Kingston town. I just try to get my fill. I don’t think I ever will. A little more but I’m still not done. Lying’ in the Reggae Sun. Lying in the sun. (Guitar Solo by Gary Maclennan) I’m just try to get my fill. I don’t think I ever will. A little more but I’m still not done. Lying’ in the Reggae Sun. Lying in the sun. Use your mind and come along, Every time you hear this song. Go to Jamaica, To Kingston town. Just relax and you’ll get there. Lots of sunshine and fresh air. Down in Jamaica, Near Kingston town. (Guitar Solo by David Edwin Townson) Out

Put Your Rubbers On © 2021 David Edwin Townson Socan/BMI - Work# A2699093 IPI# 142244505 Saw my baby on a Saturday Said what’s the chances you’ll come out to play? She said the weather calls for rain today. You’re gonna get wet, I mean in every way. You’re gonna get soakin’, like a drownin’ rat. And if I come out you’ll be thankin’ me for that. So put you’re rubbers on Put your rubbers on ‘cause when you’re pokin’ round the swamp And you’re feelin’ like a romp Put your rubbers on Walked to the bayou lookin’ for my boat She said I hope you swim ‘cause it won’t float. The gators ate the oars and floorboards too. Is there anything I can do for you? She said it’s pourin’ down we’d better go inside And get prepared before we take that ride And put you’re rubbers on Put your rubbers on ‘cause when you’re pokin’ round the swamp ‘cause you’re feelin’ like a romp Put your rubbers on

Eyes of the Morning Words and Music – David Edwin Townson, Ken Paialunga, Gary MacLennan Verse 1 Can you hear me knocking softly, on your window nightly girl? Don’t you know I love you madly, Don’t you know I need you? Verse 2 Can you hear me ringing daily On your telephone my girl Don’t you know I need you badly Don’t you know I love you Bridge ‘cause when I look into your eyes, I sense a certain kind of high You know its just your eyes … Eyes of the morning. (Solo) Verse 3 Can you see me crying softly, Sitting here all by myself. Don’t you know I miss you badly Don’t you know I miss you Bridge ‘cause when I look into your eyes, I sense a certain kind of high You know its just your eyes … Eyes of the morning. Out

Passing Fad 03:41
lyrics

Passing Fad Well I may leave you but you know I won't forget you. It's like trying to lose a friend I never had. Who's to blame or does it real matter. It appears that it was just a passing fad. And after all the time we spent together wasting, Going out just to find something to do. You'll find the passing of material relations, Will let every little good thing shine on through. And when the time arises for unwanted memories, To be so real it's hard to keep them in the past. What will you do without a gentle hand to hold you? Fantasia decked in colours, will not last! In loving memory of Ken Paialunga who co-wrote Passing Fad with Chakra.

Who's the Muse 06:28

Who’s the Muse? V1 I'm just sitting by the window, been looking as the world rolls by, Been doing that for months now, I haven't had to take a ride, I Need some inspiration, I can really put to use, There's just one thing I need to Know, Who's the Muse? V2 You may not even know it's you, but it's happening that way, Just gotta keep it going, gotta live it day to day, I need some inspiration, I can really put to use, There's just one thing I've been wondering, Just who is the Muse? Break 1 VerseV3 We all need someone to help us along, ideas to write something new, If we all can work together, there is nothing we can't do, Need some new inspiration, that I can really put to use, There's just one thing I've been wondering, Who's the Muse? Break 2 V4 I'm just sitting by my window, been looking at the world outside, Been doing that for months now, I haven't had to take a ride, Need some inspiration, that I can really put to use, There's just one thing I’m wondering, is it you? Are you the Muse?

about

Chakra was formed in 1971 by Gary Maclennan and Dave Townson as an acoustic duo. We played anywhere and anytime we could. As a matter of fact we'd show up at gigs and the proprietors would ask “Where are your amplifiers?”!!!
Well, of course we didn't have any!! This led to a string of last minute cancellations so we scraped together what we could and rented some gear. Finally the penny dropped and we realised it was time to expand and add a rhythm section (i.e. bass and drums). This led to a string of engagements province wide in British Columbia. After a few short years we disbanded and all went on to pursue various life styles and careers.
Well it's 50 years later and we're back rockin' 'em in the aisles once again with some tunes that were written by the band back in the early 70's. We are adding some more recent offerings too so keep an ear out for them as they filter onto the list.
Have a fabulous day and have many, even more fabulous days, to follow.
