"High on my own Agenda" is all right, considering it's one of my "clever" songs. Sometimes I'll write a song--usually title first--where two cliches get smutted into one. In this case, "high on my agenda" and "high on my own supply" formed the idea of an egomaniac in a quest for the drug of eminence. It's been a fairly popular song.

"High on my Own Agenda" [vonHummer]
I cruise from place to place, tryin’ to score, each day it seems to take a little bit more til I can roar like a lion, high on my own agenda, I'm so high on, high on my own agenda
Started crackin’ wise, sneaking sarcasm, having the final word was like an orgasm, soon verbal spasms were just flyin', high on my own agenda, I'm so high on, high on my own agenda
So superb, no matter the verb, the subject is always me, as I center myself self-centered, high on my own agenda
First rate, can I stand up straight, such colors and shapes I see, walls melt and reality bends, high on my own agenda
I’m so high on, high on my own agenda, I'm so high on, high on my own agenda...
So superb, no matter the verb, the subject is always me, as I center myself self-centered, high on my own agenda
First rate, can I stand up straight, such colors and shapes I see, rules melt and reality bends, high on my own agenda

vonHummer is a Portland music/cable access legend whose career spanned from Fall of 2001 to Fall of 2011, during which he
recorded a hundred or so songs for use in his absurdist show (and feature film) and played only a handful of concerts. Currently retired, his work shines on for the ages. Or will he someday return...?...more
Long split up, but not forgotten. Some say the Winebirds functioned as an ersatz Fleetwood Mac, and that's more than fair, but to me, they functioned as a real-life Partridge Family. vonHummer
