about

I wrote Planet Nine in 1979. It was a Jules Hanon song for many years. Recently there has actually been a planet discovered which is being called Planet NIne. This is not a song about that. It is another song about how I view the world we live in and the the planet we live on. This song is neither positive nor negative. It is a song with attitude; especially the last vocal part where I basically say I am going to do what I want and that's that.

lyrics

Life living on borrowed time
Deep beneath the Planet Nine
We will all have to unwind
My head's feeling oh so fine
Reign now and complete your grind
For now and for all time
House burning – lives on fire
Flames are rising as you climb

While interest rates increase
You're to burn your fleece
And the policies we knew have been demised

Carelessly you start to whine
Life itself has been behind
How on earth can you make your find
Space crawls ‘round where you grind
You're living on borrowed time
Deep beneath the Planet Nine
We're all having to make the climb
Without becoming too entwined

While all is lost it seems
We have to be redeemed
'Cause the politics we’ve made are all conceived

You don’t ever listen
to what I’ve got to say
‘Cause what I’ve got has got what you’re not
And I prefer my way
I don’t read no tea leaves;
I don’t tell no tale
Name the reason some of us
choose not to inhale

All of you by now know what is
to be defined
I know I don’t need what you say here on Planet Nine
