Hello Earth Lovers,
Musicians and fans worldwide are invited to help
us get 140,000 environmental songs written,
recorded and on the charts. That's one
environmental song for each of the estimated
140,000 endangered species.
Musicians that help XOEarth Man write, fine-tune
and/or record one of these *140 Love Songs for
the Planet* will share the copyright of course.
Fans can help by sponsoring XOEarth Man or
other musicians to write and record an
environmental song about an issue of their
choice. If you sponsor one of XOEarth Man's
songs, you will get a copyright co-ownership
certificate in your or a friend's name. Or sponsor
us because this eco song idea is just a good thing.
For all the life, Stele Ely / XOEarth Man

The Greenhorns / stele c10
late winter nights schemes
digging up the chilly dirt
building beds for seeds
tucking in the sleepy worms
grow em out you greenhorns
young farmers sow your oats
heal our past with your power
grow the future with your valor
early spring mornings beams
tending the mulchy berms
turning over the compost cream
soaking some fertile seeds
grow em out you greenhorns
young farmers eat your oats
vanquish the poisons with your smarts
grow the future with your hearts
when your horns are high,
you beckon the lazy clouds
when your horns down
your hands dance in the ground
mid summer nights dream
reaping the supple organic beings
that celebrated the chance to live
because you sowed them as a seed
do kiss us please yee greenhorns
infect us with your earthe wisdom

Whales Dance /stele c10
whales dance, polar bears prance
for the people say no, no way, no drills in the open sea today
ocean beings and you and me, can celebrate this victory
for these sweet blue waters, and its wild water families
reborn over the waters, the elemental air,
blows onto the land to us, makes our skies more fair
future life and you and me, can celebrate this victory
for these sweet ocean waters, and earth’s many families
reborn over the waters, the waters crystalline,
rains on the land to us, makes our rivers so fine
so human babies coo, and wildlife babies, do as you do
and my lungs, and your blood, know its better too
the people say no, no way, no drills in the oceans today
so seals dance, penguins prance, horray

Coal Crazy / song stele 10
is that a purple alien smirking
(capo f2) d bm em d
in that jiggling jellow tree
d em g a d
or a two headed squirrel burping
what is reality
i gotta shut those coal plants down
before their smoke stacks suck away
me and some of the kids in town
want sanity today
coal crazy, crazy coal
em-r9 ema7-3, g-1 c-1
brain pains, heads roll
burning coal is poison by the ton
SO2, VOCs, NOX, hydrogen fluoride
lead, arsenic, mercury
hydrochloric acid, formaldehyde
for some the poisons are no big deal
maybe they’ve got genetic immunity
or the winds blowing in right direction
yeah it's cool they are so lucky
coal crazy, crazy coal
brain pains, ash holes
for some the poisons are a little deal
they’re a little sad but don’t know why
or a little cold or a little pain
or a little mad or a little cry
for some the poisons are a big deal
every dose becomes more toxic
it messes up their heads big time
as chemicals go synergistic
coal crazy, crazy coal
brain pains, soot blows
why is that flying hippo babbling
and brown angel spinning round
then turning into skull and bones
as three devils start getting down
i gotta shut those coal plants down
before their smoke stacks suck away
me and other kids in town
want clear minds today
coal crazy, crazy coal
brain pains, heads roll
pains the brain, woe the soul
