The Night Country

for february 2010, fireball wrote a bunch of words and sent them out to farflung folks to put them to music. seventeen songs came back from that venture. fireball added a little bit to many of the songs, with mixed results. here is information about the songs.

it's mid-february. the storms hit the land
the commander in chief is playing his hand
the orders are given, and they come down from above
he's a secret agent, and he's working for love

Ooooooooooooooo! Secret agent of love!

inside the beltway, it's tightening up
all around the tension is heightening up
some say that hip hop is whitening up
there's nobody whiter than fireball! Secret Agent for Love!

Ooooooooooooooo! Secret agent of love!
working on a tan by the reflecting pool
lovers and lawyers break the golden rule
from the oval office to the diomede school
soul redemption and urban renewal

Ooooooooooooooo! Secret agent of love!

we got the romance movie with the real long lines
we got excise tax on macedonian wines
we got anthrax scares in our valentines
love is a battlefield loaded with mines

Oooooooooooooooo! Secret agent of love!

singing 'bout peace, love, and kebabs
don't let scott spring touch your knobs
he's working for good, but his sound is flawed
he's a secret agent on a love jihad

Oooooooooooooooo! Secret agent of love!
