Golden Money Boy
He lived next door to my best friend
At night swept up tickets at the track
Sometimes he’d find discarded winners
My friend and I wanted a job like that
One night he came home wearing a suit and looking like a king
Said he bought a share in a horse and it might be the real thing…
Check the paper for Golden Money Boy
See if he’s racing at the Meadowlands tonight
Save your allowance and roll up your loose coins
Everybody’s kicking in, let’s go along for the ride
We stopped buying candy and soda
And sold all our baseball cards to friends
Week after week we kicked in our money
But damn that horse would never much contend
Finally one race he came in 3rd, it felt like the grand prize
We took our winnings into town and splurged on RC and Scooter Pies
Next day there was our neighbor
Riding in a brand new Cadillac
Said he sold his share of that fine horse
And he’s back sweeping tickets at the track
My friend and I still save our money and plan our get-rich schemes
Sometimes it’s good to be the king, even if just in your wildest dreams

Last Two Weeks of August (Summer’s Not Over)
That was the slow time at the showroom
So Dad could take those two weeks off
We’d head to the Cape every year to the same
Cottage #5 at Colonial Acres
For those two weeks it was like our second home
Summer’s not over, summer’s not over
We’ve got the last two weeks of August
Summer’s not over….
We’d head to Mildred’s for some chowder
To Fruitland for some Bunny Bread and milk
It was the one time a year we’d get all kinds of treats
Drive-in movies, mini golf, and sweets
Barefoot Trader for a souvenir
We'd take a ride into Hyannis
Buy the New York News for Dad
We’re walking the streets where JFK
Had his summer retreat back in Camelot days
But right now this is our town
Summer’s not over, summer’s not over
We’ve got the last two weeks of August
Summer’s not over….
Let’s see what’s happening at the Cooney's
That crazy wild family in Cottage 8
You got the girls heading to the pool
Pickle and Pete making wiffle ball rules
While Mr Cooney mixed a drink for Dad
The lazy days would find their rhythm
The August sunsets pretty soon start to fade
We'd pack the car on the final night
For a pre-dawn start and a last goodbye
Summertimes would never be the same
Summer’s not over, summer’s not over
We’ve got the last two weeks of August
Summer’s not over….
Summer’s not over, summer’s not over
We’ve got the last two weeks of August
Summer’s not over….

All the Lives We Ever Lived
I heard you in the darkness call my name one last time
It reminded me of childhood memories etched into my mind
Fever chills, I’d mouth your name and hope that you would hear
With nothing but a whispered sigh, you suddenly appeared
The dreams and fears that drove me to your bed for comforting
Some inner peace that made the world seem less frightening
In those subtle moments my character was formed
The solitaire I am today was both conceived and born
The quiet nights, your crossword puzzles and me with a new book
Well aware of what’s inside you and the ticking of the clock
But I can’t interrupt the silence without breaking our bond
We're never meant to break the surface of this placid pond
“And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be
Are full of trees and changing leaves” in perpetuity
And can you for a moment feel that light within your heart?
And capture that serenity that sets your life apart?
All the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be
All the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be
All the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be...

John Eagleson Lancaster, Pennsylvania
From the generation of 70's suburban basement garage folk pop rock kids who wanted to grab a guitar and write a song and become their own Bob, Neil, Bruce, Steve (Forbert) etc. This is my musical universe. My suburban life!
If you like John Eagleson, you may also like:
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
