A member of The Sleestacks, Twister, and other more obscure notables like The Dazzle Heads, Three Swank Guys, and Pure Berry; Mark "Cheese Wiz" Peeters has finnally come out with his own solo-project. Real Graham Goodness is an amazing kaleidoscope journey into the deep depths of one man's soul, and his basement where the four-track resides. Come along if you dare, and experience the Cheese Bean for yourself.
Mark is available for birthday party magic shows, calculus tutoring, and beer brewing seminars.
...And then there was Sammy, playing with himself in the park
I know you'll think I'm silly, but I really did like that kid
oh we had some good times, but those days are all gone now
you see Sammy had some trouble, local boys and all that jazz
you know I still miss him, when the summer sun hangs low
that's when we used to play, down in ole 'frisco
sometimes I think I see him dancing in the tree tops
but it's just a hallucination, you know I've been around
and then there was Sammy yeah, then there was Sammy
and then there was Sammy, and then there was Sammy
you know Sammy was a good guy
and Sammy, if you're out there
I know you know how I feel
because Sammy, you're gone now
and me? well, it's knida the same
Oh and Sammy, do you think you could return
that a dollar fifty you owe me?
thanks, hey you're a champ
Late at night when Sammy'd fallen asleep
I used to play silly little games, oh just to earn me keep
he wasn't a big boy, but you know that never stopped him
I remember he used to say, ''Hey buddy scratch my back.''
Whoahohoho Sammy yeah, whoah yeah there was Sammy
oh yeah then there was Sammy

The plaster heads spun in the traffic until they saw what was coming
jump of sight they saw plastic wrappers when they looked around it was sunny
it was one of those days in the summer time when the sky was shouting up above
and when they laughed, they were fried!
They experienced all the stock responses of acid trippers there
the sky was different the flowers changed and they knew they were there
it was the summer time, as I mentioned before, and they thought it was pretty grand
to be looking through their eyes and not to be looking through six feet of sand
and when they laughed, they were fried!
it was cool man, they were feeling fine, they weren't hurtin' no body
it was their time to shine

Alone, a lonely boy, alone, a lonely girl
I, I feel like crying, take, take me love
to a place loveforever, we'll make love loveforever
hold, hold my hand, look, look deeply at me

to a place loveforever, love that place loveforever
I, I can not fall, when, when I have you
you, you lift me up, higher and higher
find that place loveforever, the best that place loveforever
loveforever loveforever thatÍs forever baby loveforever

Our ancients tell of green times on the edge of memory
the King of Ice ruled no one all the men were free
the planet was covered with green life from the land to the sea
the earth gave root to enormous things the word for them was tree.
The sage taught me all of this
when I was just a boy they showed me to see
my mind falls down into a trance
I ring the bell again to achieve clarity.
The King of Ice rules the land no greenness shall remain
the trees destroyed to feed his greed the forest turned to plain
now the people need his air machine the plants to him a bane
subservience is the order of the day all heretics shall be slain.
My mind turns back the wheel of time
I travel far beyond to the planet green
My trance becomes more deeper still
I find the knowledge that can finally set me free
II - The Forest Primeval
The years flow by like onion skins
I travel down a road of genetic memory
to a place so rich and full of life
they threw it all away, how can this be?
the air so moist and sensual
so different from the air machine
a sent so fine and unusual
mother earth your children are so mean
III - Awakening
( the trance is broken )
I can't take this any longer
my mind will surely bust from all I've seen
screaming out now, realizing just how,
the injustice far to keen
IV - The Streets of Balladtroy
Back in the streets of balladtroy I've got a message for you
my mission to tell everyone of all that I've seen
oh my God and satan to there's nothing that I can see
that is oh so quite as beautiful as this lovely tree
oh people go search your drawers we've got to find a way
if we could just get just one seed we'll dethrone our king today!
Ice javelins pierce my skin they throw me to the ground
they take me to the Inquisitor to discover what I've found
then in the midst of torture I start to see a way
to escape my final torment I let my mind take me away.
V - The Finale
( The Forest ... a Slight Return )
Back to the forest primeval where the creatures known as birds
fly throughout the trees giving freely of their turds
back to the smell of sweetness of the air they give to us
back to the mirror of their beauty and their total lack of fuss
content in just being and growing in the sun
I feel a faint discomfort and then with them I am one.

When the world will seem to close around you
and what you have been it will astound you
Don't be choked by the folk
who would have you thrown in their yolk

President's time coming on the T.V.
everything's fine, man it's really peachy.
Hey, the smiling face has got inside of you
pass me the wine, I'm feelin' really thirsty
brotherly love enhancer, bellydancer in my heart
bubble shapes, what happened to the corners?
smoothly soft we round them
you'll like them so much more
I feel fine, I really fine
all of the time, I'm really mine
happy hiccup yeah swelling my tomatoes
skipping down town running in the park
pour me a glass of happy ole libation
Go back to top of Real Graham Goodness Page.
Come along with me and take a peek at reality
our senses move so slow
there's a million things that you'll never know
Chorus:
To say that something is ''Real''
means it's something that you can feel
there's plenty out there my man
beyond the limits of your senses can.
So now you can see the shallowness of reality
the human mind can't hold
everything within our fold
Chorus
So even what you can't see
Can be more real that reality
take a trip and you'll learn
how deep is my butter churn
Chorus

time has come you're undone with your ankles in the fun

Goin' outside in the fields today
prancing sound with the feet of clay
gleamin' all metal he's a muscle man
you know in his heart is a fry pan.
Geraldine we have seen holding up because she is so lean
she's the queen, she's so keen, I'm the plant that she can preen
made of flesh and some blood say her name and you feel good.
Down a forty on the black side
rip out my soul and I'll toughen my hide
crazy ole uncle took my women away
and that a crime for which you must pay.
Jennifer she's a spur better that what you thought she were

Stepping back just for an instant don't be bothered be persistent
she's a prize that's like no other with her heather clovered hair.
She's got eyes that gleam forever if you catch then you'll never
feel the wanting of any other she's got everything right here.
Now another new ceremony yearly I'll linger over votive ears
yelling other unlies.
Sick of death, sick of falling, a sign of life trust your calling
no need to fear the anchor
when the anchor is life youÍd better hold and stay.
Look to the trees and the bees the cup is full I'm on my knees
I know that you've come to drink it
because you drank it before just the other day.

It takes a man to hold you under the covers
It takes a man asleep in the nude
hold your feet and fix the sink
revving up the engine for another kind of world
It takes a man to bench at least 300 pounds
It takes a man to cry in the rain
kiss you gently from the forklift
and raise another man in this crazy kind of world
Man, silent and vocal, genital and strong
Man, peaceful and wild, the perfect machine
standing as a testament to the selection
of natural laws of nature's, not girl's
you're riding a train and you're ditchin' the engine
it's a painful process and it's real slow
you might not like it, it's called de-evolution
we're going backwards but we still have to grow
the mind of man must take a new direction
a row of love and compassion he must hoe
It takes a man to concur his own fear
It takes a man to put up with a cranky woman
raise his head and thank the Maker
for giving him life no matter how messed up the world
It takes a man to respect all the womans
It takes a man to sing with a voice this low
heavy metal faggots screeching like a women
grab your crotch now and find out if your a girl
It takes a man, It takes a man
It takes a man, It takes a man

Come on up inside it, step inside and ride it
fuel fever can't hide it, my foot hits the floor!
smooth as silk, chocolate covered velvet
now listen here
get a little girl inside, go out for a ride
forget those lines you've tried
there's no need with this one
clear blue sky, forever opening up
down that road to fame you'll be up there
Nitro-burning funny car there is no substitute
that's how to get there
Come on up inside it, step inside and ride it
fuel fever can't hide it, your foot hits the floor!

Open the doors and do up your chores it's a summer day
you get them done quite early so you can run away
you see the people dancing there you know they've got it right
they're holding up into themselves they glow with inner light
so come in the house and run through the garden
save yourself from falling
come to the town and check out the garden
save yourself from falling when he comes a calling
when I was a young boy I skipped along the lane
and as I looked around of me I saw it very plain
and if you never had it you know you will be found
and if you come along with me I know you'll come around
so come in the house and run through the garden
save yourself from falling
open your door and run through the hall it's the summer calling
there'll be no more falling, in the summer time
now I am an old man holding what I got
I hold on to everything and that's a lot
we're coming to a passage of that you can be sure
I'll do my best to hold my fear, now show my the door
so come in my house and run through my garden
where flowers to be found
come to the trees and get on your knees there's goodness all around
can you hear the sound? the flowers, the trees, the forest, the breeze
the knowing, you're there, and everywhere you can be here
