AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Find Me (2007) - 03 - "Find Me"
Lyrics:
Find Me
Find me, I'm right here
floating, I've been here for days
trying to keep the deep
beneath my feet
Now I can feel you flying overhead
but I'm swallowed in the waves
and I wonder how many days more
you'll search for me
Oh god, please find me alive
Lose me, in twilight
Hopeless, I can't feel my legs
I never noticed before
how water's like air
Oh god, please find me alive
Find me, I'm right here
descending, I feel the weight of it
Light is fading out
as angels kiss my feet
Now, all that I can think of, shivering away
is my fourth birthday
when my guardians threw me away
Oh love
You didn't find me
Why didn't you find me alive?

Happy Rhodes – Rainkeeper Lyrics
Ooh rainlover
You're the one
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Be my love
Ooh rainkeeper
Does your heart..
Does it overflow with fear?
You and I could cry a sea
'Cause I'm the other side
Know where you hide
I'm there
So be wary of me rainlover
In my dreams
You are lying by me
And we're free
Ooh rainmaker
Do you know..
Do you know where my love goes?
Only mother knows
That I'm the other half
The psychopath
I'm here
Better fear me
Your other side
Know where you hide
I'm there
So be wary of me rainkeeper
Time to die
And she wants you by her side
Forces to collide

AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Rhodes II - 15 - "Under And Over The Brink" (Alternate version, "barely salvaged from the vault") (1986/1992)
This was a CD bonus track when Happy re-released the until-then cassette-only Rhodes II on CD in 1992. The cassette release was called Rhodes Vol. 2.
Lyrics:
On the brink of complying
I'm very slow
And I say to myself:
"Oh no, don't go
Well I like you the way you are
So please don't change
Don't you know that your mind could rearrange?"
So today it starts and tomorrow it ends
I lost my soul and I lost my friends
So today it ends and tomorrow it starts
The brooding of a million hearts
Music's the way, the only way I know
It's time to let the brooding heart
Choose the way to go
'Cause love is not the answer
It's never here to...

Lyrics:
Many Worlds Are Born Tonight (4:52)
If you stare into a flame
You'll get an eye full of energy
If you write your nightscapades
You'll get a dawn full of promises
If you want, then want a lot
It's the only way to be sure
Listen to what moves you
And let the moon catch your memories
These things, I forget when I need to...
I misplace the bandages that
I'm not gonna bleed through
If you stare into a flame
You'll get an eye full of energy
If you write your nightscapades
You'll get a dawn full of promises
If you want, then want a lot
It's the only way to be sure
Listen to what moves you
And let the moon catch your memories

Lyrics:
Warpaint

All the cruelty dealt
To one big soul
In the black
All the hiding from

Now as I go into battle
I am armed for the fight
With the knowledge of ten men
Strength of nine
As I walk through fire
I am shielded from the flame
Although the guilty parties
Take no blame
Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint
Every line

In the air
Every eagle drop one feather
Just for me
There is a deafening warcry
And it's ringing in my ears
It is drowning out floods

AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Rearmament - 01 - "Perfect Irony" (1986)
Shown is the cover and spine of the Rearmament cassette, now out-of-print. Those cassettes were hand-made by Happy Rhodes and Kevin Bartlett. Ok, they didn't forge the plastic or make the paper, but when they got an order they would dub each cassette individually, and put together the cassette insert themselves. They did this with each of the first four albums ("1st4") until they were all re-released on CD in 1992.
The picture on each cassette is an actual photograph by Happy, cut and pasted onto a cassette insert. Rhodes I, Rhodes II and Ecto all have photographs of monsters painted by Happy. Rearmament has a blurry photograph of Happy's eyes, but again, a copy of the photograph was cut and pasted onto each cassette...

It's time to let the brooding heart
Choose the way to go
'Cause love is not the answer
It's never here to stay
What's here through the night
May be gone by day
On the brink of attack
I'm society prone
And they're telling me:
"You should find out what is wrong"
I think I'm alright
I'm still putting up a fight
But I keep on losing
Soon I'll be dying of fright
On the brink of insanity
I see my friend
And I'm trying to tell him:
"It can't be the end
Well, you've made me live
Now you've got more to give"
If he goes o'er that brink
Who will I cry with?
Because music's the way, the only way I know
It's time to let the brooding heart
Choose the way to go
'Cause love is not the answer
It's never here to stay
What's here through the night
May be gone by day
What's here through the night
May be gone by day

And let the moon catch your memories
Turn the lights out for a while
And have a rock with the solitude
Many worlds are born tonight

With the knowledge of ten men
Strength of nine
As I walk through fire
I am shielded from the flame

My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint

Every eagle drop one feather
Just for me
There is a deafening warcry
And it's ringing in my ears
It is drowning out floods
Of noisy tears
On the path behind me
I leave many gravesite
Every tombstone
Mark one conquered night
So don't try to tell me there's no

AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Rearmament - 01 - "Perfect Irony" (1986)
Shown is the cover and spine of the Rearmament cassette, now out-of-print. Those cassettes were hand-made by Happy Rhodes and Kevin Bartlett. Ok, they didn't forge the plastic or make the paper, but when they got an order they would dub each cassette individually, and put together the cassette insert themselves. They did this with each of the first four albums ("1st4") until they were all re-released on CD in 1992.
The picture on each cassette is an actual photograph by Happy, cut and pasted onto a cassette insert. Rhodes I, Rhodes II and Ecto all have photographs of monsters painted by Happy. Rearmament has a blurry photograph of Happy's eyes, but again, a copy of the photograph was cut and pasted onto each cassette. The track listing was often hand-typed too.
No fan has ever seen the original Rearmament photo. The cover of the CD release (especially Samson Music's re-release) came out muddy and you can barely tell they're eyes.

Lyrics:
The Perfect Irony
I thought I wanted to die
But I barely had the time
And isn't it funny
How I didn't even
Have the money
To say goodbye?
Oh what the perfect irony
With this man
I want to see the land
But is my mind even,
Oh I must choose to believe him
Or say goodbye
Oh what the perfect irony
I want to love
It's all I'm thinking of
But isn't it sordid
How my dreams can become distorted
Just tell me why my life's the perfect irony
I can't decide
If I should laugh or cry
I think it's kind of funny
How they say all I need is the money
To get by, to get by, to get by
Oh what the perfect irony
