Apparently...

Parking inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah parking inspector
won’t let you wreck my fun
cos when I pay for my ticket
I won’t curse and despise
no i’ll run into the girl
with the slinky blue eyes
then my list of one thousand and one
will remain
I had plans to get it done
but now my plans they have changed

California girls
We're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin
So hot
We'll melt your Popsicle
Oooooh oh oooooh

And I'll wait for her to come
She won't break my heart
'Cause I know she'll be from Australia
She's so beautiful
She's my dream girl
La la la la
She's my dream girl

Jeannie, fresh as a daisy.
Just love how she obeys me,
Does things that just amaze me so.

Jeannie. I'll introduce her,
To you, but it's no use, sir,
Cause my Jeannie's in love with me.

All my life I've wondered if what I done was wrong
All I ever cared to do was ride my pony on
I never had no heartache was always happy and gay
Until I met a Texas girl who stole my heart away

Where the sleepy Rio Grande goes slowly to the sea
It was there she promised to be mine throughout eternity
But the angels they grew jealous of her beauty and her smile
And came along one stormy night and stole away my bride
The birds have hushed their singing
Sadness is over the land
The birds miss my darling by the sleepy Rio Grande

How do you like it so far
Giddyap

I am your power and your pain
I'll make you gallop at my pace
Human pony girl

I am the monkey on your back
And we're going for a ride home
Human pony girl

Your nights are a season at my command
Human pony girl, heeyah

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

When a man's an empty kettle he should be on his mettle,
And yet I'm torn apart.
Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kind-a-human,
If I only had heart.
I'd be tender - I'd be gentle and awful sentimental
Regarding Love and Art.
I'd be friends with the sparrows ... and the boys who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart.

I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin'
I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain

Wasted days and wasted nights,
I have left for you Behind
for you don't belong to me,
your heart belongs to someone else.

Why should I keep loving you,
when I know that you're Not true?
And why should I call your name,
when you're to blame
for making me Blue?

Don't you remember the days
that you went away and left me,
I was so lonely
prayed for you only,
my love.

I've got your picture that you gave to me
And it's signed with love just like it used to be
The only thing different, the only thing new
I've got your picture, he's got you

I've got the records that we used to share
And they still sound the same as when you were here
The only thing different, the only thing new
I've got the records, he's got you

I've got your memory, or, has it got me?
I really don't know but I know it won't let me be

The story's in the past with nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need

You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door

But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for

He don't give a damn
'bout any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call 'Rock an' Roll'

And the Sultans, yeah the Sultans, they played Creole

Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun,
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind.
There were more than a thousand reeds
Springing up like weeds,
There were horns of ev'ry shape and kind

There were copper bottom tympani in horse platoons
thundering, thundering, all along the way
Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons
Each bassoon having his big fat say
There were fifty mounted cannon in the battery
Thundering, thundering, louder than before
Clarinets of eve'ry size
And trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score

Seventy six trombones hit the counter point
While a hundred and ten cornets played the air
Then I modestly took my place
As the one and only bass
And I oompahed up and down the square.

Now, when I leave this town
Won't be - back no more
Yes, when I leave this town, mama
Won't be back no more
I've got the blues so bad
Standing 'round my door

Yes, I got the blues so bad
Why won't you let me be
I have the blues so bad, mama
Why won't you let me be
Now, when I go to Chicago
Blues don't you follow me

I'm on my way to Atlanta
where the water tastes like cherry wine.
'Cause the water in this town
tastes just like turpentine.

The techtonic dispatcher shifts
to smooth the ocean floor
and flattens out to warmer winds
of Brisbane's sunny shore.
Where Buddhas tend to mending wrists
a tea made from the leaves
of eucalyptus fragrances
and coriander seeds

Under the rainbow and behind Versailles
From the aisles of Fedco to the 405
From MGM to Veteran's Park
Way down at Chippendale's fumblin' in the dark
Where the ghostly specter of Howard Hughes
Hovers in the smoke of a thousand bar-b-ques

Baby, Culver me
And I'll Culver you
When the streets are shining with the smoggy dew
When the lights are glowing with the mists of June
And the whole world is lit up by the Culver Moon

Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load.
"If you're goin' to Oodnadatta, mate, um, with me you can ride."
So I climbed in the cabin and I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand, I said
"Listen, mate, I've travelled ev'ry road in this here land."

Cos "I've been everywhere, man,
I've been everywhere, man.
'Cross the deserts bare, man;
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been ev'rywhere.

Been to:

Kirribilli, Yeerongpilly, Wollondilly, don't be silly.

I've been here, there, ev'rywhere, I've been ev'rywhere.

^^^^^^^^^^ Yes but can you pronounce them all? ^^^^^^^^^^^
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

I've been here, there, ev'rywhere, I've been ev'rywhere.

^^^Of the 93 places mentioned in the song I have only made it to 31^^^

I recall a schoolboy coming home
Through fields of cane
To a house of tin and timber
And in the sky
A rain of falling cinders
From time to time
The waste memory-wastes
I recall a boy in bigger pants
Like everyone
Just waiting for a chance
His father’s watch
He left it in the showers
From time to time
The waste memory-wastes
I recall a bigger brighter world
A world of books
And silent times in thought
And then the railroad
The railroad takes him home
Through fields of cattle
Through fields of cane
From time to time
The waste memory-wastes
The waste memory-wastes
Further, longer, higher, older

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Papa does great with it
Wwings like a gate with it
Evens his weight with it, now

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left, she goes right
Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow!

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba
'cause papa loves mama tonight

This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new one is the consequence
Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
consequence of you

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way, too
Is when I fall in love with you

And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way, too,
Is when I fall in love with you

Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah

When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so

gently

That when she passes, each one she passes goes - aah

Ooh But I watch her so sadly, How can I tell her who loves her,

Yes it would give his heart gladly,

Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, he smiles - but she doesn't see

Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
...and be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a ___?

Find a wheel, and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes, along the ground, ground, ground
'Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love, will hold you round, round, round
And your heart's a song with a brand new sound
And your head, goes spinnin' round, round, round
'Cause you found what you've been dreamin' of

I gave a letter to the postman,
he put it his sack.
Bright in early next morning,
he brought my letter back.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.

You may be right, I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light, don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right

In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl here's what they say

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore

Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
That sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
My someplace is here

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you

>>>>>>>Had to<<<<<<<<<<<<

Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody puts me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

I got holes in both of my shoes
Well I'm a walking case of the blues
Saw a dollar yesterday
But the wind blew it away
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

It's 1200 miles from Palm Springs to Texas
But tonight it's right next door
For a week each year
It's the old frontier
That's what brings them here, western atmosphere

You can't tell the dudes from real riding cowboys
When they sashay across the floor
There's the circus means, lots and lots of thrills
Folks from Houston yeah, and from Beverly Hills
Clowning from the Shamrock right to the Almiera door
You'll find it's 1200 miles from Palm Springs to Texas
But tonight it's right next door

Do you see that parade
Do you hear that parade
Coming down Palm Canyon Drive
But if you see that parade
Come on and cheer that parade if you're 8 or 85

Who's that riding up ahead
Why it's the govenor of Texas someone said
What's he doing up this way
Why it Palm Springs and Texas day

Ah, you can't tell the dudes from real riding cowboys
When they sashay across the floor
Folks are trading in all their Cadillacs
For those pinto ponies and cowhide slacks
And there's no one left down at Neiman Marcus' store
Because it's 1200 miles from Palm Spring to Texas
But tonight it's right next door

Down down down down came the sun
Fast fast fast fast beat my heart
I knew
As the sun set
From that day
We'd never part

And I asked this God a question and by way of firm reply,
He said `I`m not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.

Watching the world go by
Under a sunny sky
Strolling 'round the park on a Sunday afternoon
Oh how the moments fly
Watching the world go by

Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon.
Really, couldn't get away too soon.
I can't imagine anything that's better.
The world is ours whenever we're together.
There ain't a place I'd like to be,
Instead of movin' down a crowded avenue,
Doin' anything we like to do.

I dont want french fried potatoes,
Red ripe tomatoes,
Im never satisfied.
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

I dont want pork chops and bacon,
That wont awaken
My appetite inside.
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

A fella really got to eat
And a fella should eat right.
Five will get you ten
Im gonna feed myself right tonight.

I dont want fish cakes and rye bread,
You heard what I said.
Waiter, please serve mine fried
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

Now if you don't have it just bring me a check for the water.

My first customer was Megan
She came in for a hamburger with the lot - no meat
"Hey that's a salad roll" I said and we started going out

My second customer was Susan
she came in for Diet Pepsi morning tea
Each day and I said "You don't need to be on a diet.
Do you wanna come out tonight?"

I said "I'll bring Gringo he's got a lot of money
And he'll take us to the bars where they've got a view.
He'll buy us all those beers they give it to you in bottles
They put lemon in the top it don't taste too bad I'm telling you"

My third customer was Maria she came in for hot chips and sauce
"More sauce" she said. I said "now you're talking"
and she took me home to meet her mother

My fourth customer was Sandy she came in for nothing I could see except me
So it was I too, was eating a hamburger of sorts within an hour

I make hamburgers I get all the girls
and I take 'em out to dinner and I give 'em all a whirl
and If they work I keep 'em If they don't I keep 'em too
But I teach 'em all how to be dirty girls like you

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She likes the theater, but never comes late
She never bothers, with people she hates
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke
That's oke
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

In the night, the harlot moves across the floor
She turns the handle on the door
A hundred eyes seem to look right through her
Why she's there they're not sure
Behind her love, she falls down to her knees
Without a word, se begins to weep
And her tears, they fall down upon his feet
She smothers them with kisses
And she dries them with her hair

You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'
I don't know why

I stay home
Each night when you say you'll phone
You don't and I'm left alone
Sing the blues and sighin'

You treat me coldly each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever somebody is near, dear

It must be
Great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see
What you mean
To me

And the only sign of life is the ticking of the pen
Introducing characters to memory like old friends
Frantic as a cardiograph scratching out the lines
A fevered recognition, a catalogue of crime

And when you're gone,
I can run through the house screaming,
and no one will hear me...
I really should be glad...
But I'm bluer that blue;
Sadder than sad...

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry over you
Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay
Without you, you got me singin' the blues

I got a kind hearted woman
do anything in this world for me
I got a kind hearted woman
do anything in this world for me
but these evil-hearted women
man, they will not let me be
I love my baby
my baby don't love me
I love my baby, oooh
my baby don't love me
But I really love that woman
can't stand to leave her be

A-ain't but the one thing
makes Mister Johnson drink
I's worried 'bout how you treat me, baby
I begin to think
Oh babe, my life don't feel the same
You breaks my heart
When you call Mister So-and-So's name

Green-eyed lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
Green-eyed lady, ocean lady
Soothing every ragin' wave that comes
Green-eyed lady, passions' lady
Dressed in love
She lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady feels life
I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free.

Green-eyed lady, wind swept lady
Rules the night, the waves, the sand
Green-eyed lady, ocean lady
Child of nature, friend of man
Green-eyed lady, passions' lady
Dressed in love
She lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady feels life I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will take me for myself,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I won't need nobody else, no, no.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed -- yes, yes, yes.

Hmm, well I got a woman mean as she can be
Well I got a woman mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me

She gotta ruby lips, she got shapely hips, yeah
Boy she makes ole roy-oy flip
I got a woman mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me

Big ole ruby red dress wanders 'round the town
Talkin to herself now, sometimes sittin' down
Don't you get too close now, ruby runs away
Poor ole ruby red dress born on a sorry day
I can hear her say

Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone now, leave me alone
Leave me alone, please leave me alone, yes leave me

You always said that I would know someday
Just how it feels when your love walks away
I let you down, I let you go
I lost you, how was I to know

I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more

I never knew I could feel this way
I never could see past yesterday
You feel that everything is gone
I feel it too, you're not alone

I'll see you through the rain
Every heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone any more, any more, any more

How could she?
How could she?
Just walk out and leave me?
After all these nights in her arms,
Look where I am!

And I've Got Two dollars in the jukebox,
And five dollars in a bottle,
And ten more just in case that don't do the trick!

And I'll be dead broke tomorrow morning,
With heart-aches by the dozen,
And a lady on my mind that's driving me crazy.

You don't remember me, but I remember you
't was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you

If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you, you, you, you

Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy

If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you

You live your life in the songs you hear
on the rock and roll radio
and when a young girl doesn't have any friends
that's a really nice place to go
folks hoping you'd turn out cool
but they had to take you out of school
you're a little touched you know
Angie baby

lovers appear in your room each night
and they whirl you across the floor
but they always seem to fade away
when your daddy taps on your door
Angie girl are you alright?
tell the radio goodnight
all alone once more Angie baby

Angie baby
you're a special lady
living in a world of make believe
well maybe

Apparently

She came in one night from Omaha, worn out
She never could sleep on trains, took the bus to Hollywood
Lookin` for a room in the pourin` rain
With hair so blonde and eyes so brown
She thought she`d take this town and turn it upside down

And me, I was livin` in a hotel just off Sunset
She moved in across the hall
And she said she`d be a movie star
And waited every mornin` for a call
So I asked her in just to have a little drink but she hardly had the time
A call might come tomorrow, she got to learn her lines

On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, dream your dream - seven bucks a night

And then the months went by without a job
The money that she saved was nearly spent
So she started bringin` strangers home
Just tryin` to find a way to pay the rent
And she`d sit down and drink my coffee, got nothin` much to say
Just busy rehearsin` in her mind the scene she`d never play

On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, dream your dreams for seven bucks a night

I found her there one mornin`
She didn`t come for coffee when I called
She`d gone and brought the wrong one home this time
There were crazy lipstick marks all over the wall
Now she`s goin` back to Omaha but not the way she`d planned
There`ll be no crowd to cheer her on, no welcome home, no band

On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, dream your dream for seven bucks a night

She came in one night from Syracuse, tired from sleepin` on the plane
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreamin` of the lights.

She, she came from the land of the cotton,
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone,
And she worked and she slaved so hard,
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun,
Oh, but she sure could sing,
Oh, she sure could sing.

Then He looked down and He took a little pity,
The whole town swore He decided,
He'd help her some,
And He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty,
For deep inside His heart He knew,
She was the only one,
Oh but she sure could sing,
Yea, she sure could sing.

She had faith, she had believing,
She led all the people together in singing,
And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Hallelujah. Oh hallelujah,
They use to walk singing songs by the river,,
Even when she knew for sure,
She had to go away,
And she never knew what her life had to give her,
And never had to worry about it,
For one single day,
My but she sure could sing,
Oh yes, sure could sing.

She had faith, she had believing,
Led all the people together in singing,
And she prayed every night to the Lord up above,
Hallelujah. Oh hallelujah,
She, she came from the land of the cotton,
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone,
And she worked and she slaved so hard,
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun,
Oh, but she sure could sing,
My, she sure could sing,
Oh, but she sure could sing,
Oh, but she sure could sing.

Another you
Another me
It was the dawn
Of the first day
And life
Had only just begun
Another you
Another me
The past had
Nothing more to say
We had our moment
In the sun
And I can't see
No I can't tell you
How we came to be
Another you
Another me

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's got the mind of a child
And a body peaking over the hill
Well, she would if she could
And she should but nobody will
With her nails painted red
And her hair so unnaturally curled
Well I think that she may be
The oldest baby in the world

She's tasted the night life
But it's left her with nothing but hunger
And all the available men
Seem to think that they want something younger
But youth is a costume
And the beauty within lies unfurled
And I think that she may be
The oldest baby in the world

Fast horses win races
And royal flushes beat aces
And everyone's playing to keep
So let's turn out the lights
And rock that old baby to sleep

She loves the sound of the rain
But you know she's still afraid of the thunder
She keeps a head full of hope
And a heart that's so full of wonder
She may look like a woman
But she's still some daddy's little girl
And I think that she may be
The oldest baby in the world
Yes, I think that she may be
The oldest baby in the world

Every time I see you looking my way
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
In the car or walking down the highway
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

When you move up closer to me
I get a feeling that's ooo-wee
Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat
'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love

Heartbeat,
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me,
Heartbeat,
Why does a love kiss stay in my memory,
Piddly pat,
I know that new love thrills me,
I know that true love will be,
Heartbeat,
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me,

Heartbeat,
Why do you skip when my babies lips meet mine,
Heartbeat,
Why do you flip then give me a skip beat sign,
Piddly pat,
And sing to me love's story,
And bring to me love's glory,
Heartbeat,
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me,

He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you

I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

Look through any window, yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town

Where do they go
Moving on their way
Walkin' down the highways and the byways
Where do they go
Moving on their way
People with their shy ways, and their sly ways

Wednesday morning at five o'clock
as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the back door key
Stepping outside she is free

She (we gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for
so many years (bye bye)

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me

She (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for
so many years (bye bye)

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade

She (what did we do that was wrong)
is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for
so many years (bye bye)
She's leaving home (bye bye)

These shades can hide the teardrops crying
But not the way I feel inside
These shades can only do their part
But these shades can't hide my broken heart

These shades can hide my red red eyes
But not the hurt left by your lies
These shades can only do their part
But these shades can't hide my broken heart

Go and get yourself some cheap sunglasses...

You know what they say
Where there's a will there's a way
Lies are free
Talk is cheap

It's just your jive talkin'
You're telling me lies
Jive talkin'
You wear a disguise
Jive talkin'
So misunderstood
Jive talkin'
You're really no good

Our candle burns away
The ashes full of lies
I gave my soul to you
You cut me from behind

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
You're scared of the truth, I'm tired of the lies
Cuz who I am, is where you wanna be

Don't act like an angel
You fallen again
You're no super hero
I found in the end

So lie to me once again
And tell me everything will be alright
Lie to me once again
And ask yourself before we say goodbye
Well goodbye
Was it worth it in the end...

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
go on to work in the morning
to come home in the evening
and have nothing to say
Make me an angel
that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
that I can hold on to
to believe in this livin'
is just a hard way to go

The room was completely black
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said, quote
"Ain't that a hole in the boat"
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep on grinning
If this is just the beginning
My life's gonna be beautiful
I've got sunshine enough to spread
It's like the fella said
Tell me quick
Ain't love like a kick
In the head

(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
There was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile
Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house

Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little bat
Tried to fix his roof with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat

Talkin' 'bout my baby, Little Latin Lupey Lou

We went one day about a month ago
To have a little fun in Mexico
We ended up in a gambling spot
Where the liquor flowed and the dice were hot

So here we are in the Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no friends to go our bail
So here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
<no lie>No lie. :wink:</no lie>

Beyond the rim of the starlight
My love is wandring in star flight
And she may find
In star clustered reaches
Love, strange love
On starry beaches

I know her journey ends never
Her Star Trek will go on forever
But tell her while
She wanders her starry sea
Remember
Remember me

A law was made a distant moon ago here
July and August cannot be too hot
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot

I know it sounds a bit bizarre
But in Camelot
That's how conditions are

The rain may never fall till after sundown
By eight, the morning fog must disappear
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering
Than here in Camelot

I'm going to make this my own moon landing
i'm going to give this the best that i've got
you see right from the start we've been drifting apart
it's our actual standing
i'm going to make this my own ..

I don't need no enemy
to keep me awake at night
no one's gonna go for free
we'll travel very light

for now i've had enough from you
i'm done and so are you
go see what you can do
the universe is expanding

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly
Destination moon

Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight
The earth is like a toy balloon
What a thrill you get ridin' on a jet
Destination moon

We'll go up, up, up, up, straight to the moon, we two
High in the starry blue, I'll be out of this world with you

Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go!
Destination moon

Black boy in Chicago
Playin' in the street
Not enough to wear
Not near enough to eat
But don't you know he saw it
On that July afternoon
Saw a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon

Young girl in Calcutta
Barely eight years old
The fly's that swarm the market place
Will see she don't grow old
But don't you know she heard it
On a July afternoon
Heard a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon

River's getting dirty
The wind is getting bad
War and hate are killing off
The only earth we have
But the whole world stopped to watch it
On that July afternoon
Watched a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon

And I wonder if a long time ago
Somewhere in the universe
They watched a man named Adam
Walk upon the earth

Is it just me, or a message from above?
Bells are ringing, push has finally come to shove.
The door before me now is open just enough.

And I'm sick and tired of waiting for dreams that never come,
And games I never played in, but still wish that I had won...

I'm alive, I've got one shot and I'm taking it to you.
I'm alive, I've come to realize not a moment too soon
That this is my one small step, this is my walk on the moon.

Don't you think their hands were shaking as that rocket ship touched down?
I'm sure they shivered when they finally touched the ground.
And the giant leap so fragile that it hardly made a sound...
But it must have been amazing what a world they got to see.
So I don't care, my foolish fear won't get the best of me now

I'm alive, I've got one shot and I'm taking it to you.
I'm alive, I've come to realize not a moment too soon
That this is my one small step this is my walk on the moon.
This is my walk on the moon.

Oh it must have been amazing, what a world they got to see!
So I don't care, my foolish fear won't get the best of me now...

I'm alive, I've got one shot, and I'm taking it to you.
I'm alive, I've come to realize not a moment too soon...
I'm alive, I've got one shot, and I'm taking it to you.
I'm alive, I've come to realize, not a moment too soon
That this is my one small step,
This is my one small step,
This is my walk on the moon.
This is my walk on the moon.
This is my walk on the moon.

I was standing by the window yesterday morning,
Without a thought of worry or of care,
When I saw the postman coming up the pathway,
With such a happy look and jolly air.

As I heard the postman whistling yester morning,
Coming down the pathway with his pack,
Oh he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
When he handed me that letter edged in black.

Oh, he rang the bell and whistled while he waited,
And then he said "Good morning to you, Jack."
But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
When he handed me that letter edged in black.

With trembling hand I took the letter from him,
I broke the seal and this is what it said:
"Come home, my boy, your dear old father wants you!
Come home, my boy, your dear old mother's dead!"

"The last words that your mother ever uttered ---
'Tell my boy I want him to come back,'
My eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking,
For I'm writing you this letter edged in black."

I bow my head in sorrow and in silence,
The sunshine of my life it all has fled,
Since the postman brought that letter yester morning
Saying,"Come home, my boy, your dear old mother's dead!:"

"Those angry words, I wish I'd never spoken,
You know I never meant them, don't you, Jack?
May the angels bear me witness, I am asking
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black."

"Is it still over? Are we still through? Since my phone still ain't ringin', I assume it still ain't you..."

The moon is the same moon above you
Aglow with it's cool evening light
But shining at night, in Tunisia
Never does it shine so bright

The stars are aglow in the heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining at night in Tunisia
They guide you through the desert sand

Words fail, to tell a tale
Too exotic to be told
Each night's a deeper night
In a world, ages old

The cares of the day seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in Tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace

Each wonderful night in Tunisia

It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"

We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere

And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"

We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere

And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, i’m goin’ your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossin’ you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after that same rainbow’s end
Waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

A dirty moon on a decayed night
The waning moon is again waxing
Be it love or be it betrayal
It’s the same corpse

Aa, the thing in this hand that has done it all,
If fading from those eyes,
Can be reborn any number of times

Are you escaping or chasing after something?
You no longer know
Look at me and be further captured
In burning crimson roses of hell

Are you wanting to live or wanting to fall?
Because you do not know yet,
From this love may come the sadness
I wish for the demise; don’t you?

Aa, that heart is plundering,
Being imprisoned inside the depths of my body
As I become penetrated with light

Moon over miami,
shine on my love and me,
so we can stroll beside the roll,
of the rolling sea.

Moon over miami,
shine on as we begin,
a dream or two that may come true,
when the tide comes in.

Hark to the song of the smiling troubadours,
hark to the throbbing guitars,
hear how the waves offer thunderous applause,
after each song to the stars.

Moon over miami,
you know we`re waiting for,
a little love,
a little kiss
on miami shore.

Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Icy fingers wave
Ski trails on a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont

Telegraph cables they swing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely

Evening summer breeze
Warbling of a meadow lark
Moonlight in Vermont


(thanks tutm and chez for keeping the moon theme long enough for me to fit in this one)

I've been waiting all through the night
Wiping all the sleep from my eyes
Pressed to the window pane
Hope there's no sign of rain
We'll make plans you promise to keep
Side by side as we fall asleep
Suddenly we'll awake
And in surprise we'll say

Goodbye moon, hello sun
Oh, the day has just begun
Hold my hand we'll go downstream
Let's forget just where we've been
These are the times
We will always call as mine and yours alone

Leaves fall lightly onto the ground
Breeze picks up not making a sound
Watch as they fly away
Knowing we're here to stay
Dip your feet bare into the stream
Find a shade spot under the tree
Watch as the clouds go by
Sailing the clear blue skies

Goodbye moon, hello sun
Oh, the day has just begun
Hold my hand we'll go downstream
Let's forget just where we've been
These are the times
We will always call as mine and yours alone

Goodbye moon, hello sun
Oh, the day has just begun
Hold my hand we'll go downstream
Let's forget just where we've been
These are the times
We will always call as mine and yours alone

You can try to resist
Try to hide from her kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No you can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you

Cajun moon, where does your power lie
As you move across the southern sky
You took my babe way too soon
What have you done, cajun moon

Someday babe, when you want your man
And you find him gone, just like the wind
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'cause cajun moon took him from you

When daylight fades, the night comes on
You can hear the silence of this song
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'cause he got me like he got you

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

One more Moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can I just have one more moon dance with a-you
My love.

"watch out where the huskies go / don't you eat that yellow snow".


.

away with these nightmares
away with suburbia
shake down away
you marry a role and
you give up your soul til you break down

"it's me and the moon," she says
"i got no trouble with that, but i am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die"
"it's me and the moon," she says

but what do you say we go for a ride?
what do you say we get high?
but i'm so tired of days that feel like the night

"it's me and the moon," she says
and i got no trouble with that, but i am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die
i am a butterfly, i am a butterfly, i am a butterfly

Gotta have this one from the Nevilles~

Yellow moon, yellow moon,
why you keep peeping in my window?
Do you know something I don't know?
Did you see my baby
walking down the railroad tracks?
You can tell me if the girls
ever coming back.

Is she hid out with another
or is she trying to get back home?
Is she wrapped up in some other's arms?
Or is the girl somewhere all alone?
Can you see if she is missing me,
or is she having a real good time?
Has she forgotten all about,
or is the girl still mine all mine?

With your eye so big and shiny
You can see the whole damn land
Yellow moon can you tell me
If the girl's with another man?

Oh yellow moon,
have you seen that creole woman
You can tell me,
Now ain't you a friend of mine.

Here's to the crabgrass
Here's to the mortgage
In fact, here's to Suburbia
Lay down your briefcase
Far from the rat race
Where nothing can disturby ya

Uncomplicated
It's what we waited
For so long in this city
Come let us go there
Live like Thoreau there
A life of sweet simplicity

And when you talk about Dylan
He thinks you mean Dylan Thomas

Well the folk scene is dead
But he's holdin' out in the village
He's been writin' songs speakin' out
Against wealth and privilege
He says 'I dont believe in money
But a man could make him a killin'
'Cause some of that stuff don't sound
Much different than Dylan
I hear down there it's changed you see
They're not as backward as they used to be

When I first dropped in the little small place
For three weeks wasn't a soul around
When I first dropped in the little place
For three long weeks wasn't a soul around
The first chick I met was on the village tonight
An' she strictlly taken me down

She got a pad like a palace
Ev'rything was cruisin' kind
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
She take me to her pad
An' ev'rything was cruisin' kind
She started talkin' that d.d. talk
And ya know that changed my mind

Words were exchanged last night
You could call it a fight
It's such a shame, I never thought we would
Wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't so good
I've had enough of that
With other loves in days gone by
It wasn't much I know
Mmm just enough, enough to make me cry

If you leave me, can I come too?
We can always stay
But if you leave me, can I come too?
And if you go, can I come too?

Don't let it happen again
'Cause that I couldn't take
Ooh once was quite enough
It's easy to forgive, harder to forget

If you leave mee, can I come too?
We can always stay
But if you leave me, can I come too?
And if you go, can I come too?

What now my love?
Now that you left me
How can I live through another day?
Watching my dreams turning to ashes
And my hopes into bits of clay
Once I could see
Once I could feel
Now I am numb
I've become unreal
I walk the night
Without a goal
Stripped of my heart
My soul

You to me
Are sweet as roses in the morning
And you to me
Are soft as summer rain at dawn, in love we share
That something rare

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day

Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
A vow that all betray

For the passions that thrill love
And lift you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let you fall to hell

So ends each story

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away

Don’t get me started, it’s getting kinda crowded in here
Back up off me, I’m feeling like I’m suffocating
Now here’s my problem, I’m not gonna be your chick on the side
Forget about it, you know damn well it wouldn’t be right
I don’t know what you been thinking bout me
Did you think this was gonna be that easy?
Hell no you must be going crazy


Why don’t you get out of my life, get out of my sight
Get off of my back.
Why don’t you get back to your world, Go back to your girl
I think you owe her.
I know what’s going on
I won’t be second to none
Back off 'cause you’re crowding my space
You need to get out of my face

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?

So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy

Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
And you've bought everything in style

So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy

Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie

They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer

I walk in shadows searching for light
Go to the light, no comfort in sight
Hoping it brings someone who cares
Always moving but going nowhere

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of piece of mind
Tell me please

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Here you come again
Just when I've begun to get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger

Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so that all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag, but then...
I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in


(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a dinged-in sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun
Your mama always said you'd be
The chosen one

She said: you're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine
But you were born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do
It's Janie's last I.O.U.

She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleaze
He ain't never gonna be the same

Well they all said Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act the little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume,
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
But women like Louise they get by

Well everybody thought it kind of sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd always put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Lousie rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard it said
Too bad it ended so ugly,
Too bad she had to go this way
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
So good night Louise, good night

Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den
The TV set's been blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on

I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven
Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy
I can't let you go with that
You have won all my money
And my brand new stetson hat

Stagger Lee went home
And he got his forty-four
Said, I'm goin' to the barroom
Just to pay that debt I owe
Go Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee went to the barroom
And he stood across the barroom door
He said, nobody move
And he pulled his forty-four

Stagger Lee, cried Billy
Oh, please don't take my life
I've three little children
And a very sickly wife

Stagger Lee shot Billy
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy
And it broke the bartender's glass

She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar
She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all

She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet
We went up to her room and she lowered the boom

I was feeling no pain, feeling good in my brain
I looked in her eyes, they were full of surprise

I asked her to marry me she smiled and pulled out a knife
The party's just beginning she said, "Your money or you life?"

Now I'm back at the bar, she went a little too far
She done me wrong, all I got is this song

Running through kitchen
Now she's running through the door
Running through the bathroom
Now She's running on the floor
Chashing after me yea i don't wanna know
something in her hand yea i think i gotta go cuz

she got a knife to my head today
she got a knife to my brain alright


do what i say
dont do what i do
I was on the run no time to think it through
got me on the run you think its really fun
messing with my head you better go to bed cuz

she got a knife to my brain alright
she got a knife to my head alright

Put down the knife I thought i told ya
Put down the knife You poke your eye out
Put down the knife you better do it

She, Needs, To, Go ,To, Bed

She got a knife to my head alright
She got a knife to my brain alright
She got a knife to my head alright
She got a knife to my head alright

KNIFE!

APPARENTLY

Your six blade knife can do anything for you
Anything you want it to
One blade for breaking my heart
One blade for tearing me apart
Your six blade knife - do anything for you

You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
When you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skin
Took a stone from my soul when I was lame
Just so you could make me tame
You take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin

I'd like to be free of it now - I don't want it no more
I'd like to be free of it now - you know I don't want it no more

Everybody got a knife it can be just what you want it to be
A needle a wife something that you just can't see
You know it keeps you strong
Yes and it'll do me wrong
Your six blade knife - do anything for you

Oh, the shark, Babe
Has such teeth, Dear
And he shows those
Pearly whites
Just a jack-knife
Has old Mack Heath, Babe
And he keeps it outta sight

You know, when that shark bites
With its teeth, Babe
Scarlet billows start to spread.
Fancy gloves, oh
Wears old Mack Heath, Babe
So there's never
Never a trace of red

Down, down. Down, down. The star is screaming.
Beneath the lies. Lie, lie.
Tschay, tschay, tschay.
Careful, careful, careful with that axe, Eugene.
The stars are screaming loud.
Tsch.
Tsch.
Tsch.

LOL! I can't believe y'all went and brung knives to an axe-fight! :lol:

<<<<<< Time to up the ante, bringing in guns & knives >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


They say don`t go on Wolverton Mountain,
if you`re looking for a wife.
`Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty
young daughter,
he`s mighty handy with a gun and a knife.

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there.
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there.

All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain.
I want his daughter for my wife.
I`ll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clilfton Clowers, he may take my life

I`m going up on Wolverton Mountain,
It`s too lonely downhere below.
It`s just not right to hide his daughter
From the one who loves her so.

But I don`t care about Clifton Clowers,
I`m gonna climb up on his mountain,
I`m gonna take the girl I love.
I don`t care about Clifton Clowers,
I`m gonna climb up on his mountain,
I`m gonna take the girl I love.

sent for my baby, and she don't come
I sent for my baby, man, and she don't come
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none

And if she gets unruly, thinks she don't want do
If she gets unruly, and thinks she don't want do
Take my 32-20, and cut her half in two

Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

(When I hold you in my arms)
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

And when I feel my finger on your trigger
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

I know nobody can do me no harm
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

Yes it is, gun!
Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

Happiness (is a warm gun)
is a warm gun, yeeeaahhh!

I was born, six gun in my hand.
Behind a gun I'll make my final stand

It's why they call me
Bad Company and I can't deny
Bad Company 'til the day I die
'Til the day I die, 'til the day I die

Rebel souls, deserters we are called
Chose a gun and threw away the sword
Now these towns, they all know our name
Six gun sound is our claim to fame

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Apparently

Every time it rains it rains
Pennies from heaven.
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven.
You'll find your fortune falling
All over town.
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down.

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers.
If you want the things you love
You must have showers.
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree.
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak,
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Dance with me
I want my arm about you;
The charm about you
Will carry me thro' to Heaven

I'm in Heaven,
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

I have often walked on this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town
Does enchantment pour out of every door
No, it's just on the street where you live

And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear

People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth
That I would rather be
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

Heaven's just a sin away oh oh just a sin away
I can't wait another day I think I'm givin' in
Though I'd love to hold you tight Oh oh be with you tonight
But that still won't make it right 'cause I belong to him.


Oh way down deep inside I know that it's all wrong
Your eyes keep tempting me and I never was that strong- ong.


Oh devil's got me now Oh oh gone and got me now
I can't fight him anyhow I think he's gonna win.

Heaven's just a sin away Oh oh just a sin away
Heaven help me when I say I think I'm givin' in

When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh,
I hurry to my Blue Heaven.
A turn to the right, a little white light,
Will lead me to my Blue Heaven.

I'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom;
Just Molly and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven.

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you

I walk along the street we used to walk
Two by two, lovers pass
And as they're passing by, I could die
'Cause you're not here with me
Now the trees are bare
There's sadness in the air
And I'm as blue as I can be

Night after lonely night, we meet in dreams
As I run to your side
You wait with open arms, open arms
That now are closed to me
Through a veil of tears
Your vision disappears
And I'm as blue as I can be

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you

In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours

Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow
of Blue velvet

But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears

I've been workin on the railroad all the livelong day...

Blue Spanish eyes.
Teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes.
Please please don't cry.
This is just adios and not good-bye.
Soon I'II return, bringing you all the love your heart can hold.
Please say. si si....
say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me.

Blue Spanish eyes
prettiest eyes in all of Mexico.
True Spanish eyes, please smile for me once more before I go.
Soon I'II return, bringing you all the love your heart can hold.
Please say: si si....
say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me.

I'm In The Mood For Love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm In The Mood For Love.

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm In The Mood For Love?

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm In The Mood For Love.

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Tonight we drink to youth
and holding fast to truth
don't want to lose what I had as a boy

My heart still has a beat
but love is now a feat
as common as a cold day in LA
Sometimes at night alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing

Love hurts
but sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive

Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
have a heart and try me
'Cause without love I won't survive

I'm fettered and abused
Stand naked and accused
should I surface this one man submarine

I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth
I'll never lose what I had as a boy
Sometimes at night alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing

Love hurts
but sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive

Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
have a heart and try me
'Cause without love I won't survive

Without love I won't survive

Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive

Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
have a heart and try me
'Cause without love I won't survive

Love hurts, oh
Love hurts
Without love I won't survive

Love hurts, oh
Love hurts
Without love I won't survive

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields.

Love, Reign o'er me
Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high

Love Reign O'er me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

I've gotta stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
But when he knows you're tellin' lies
And he hears 'em passin' by
He's not a man at all

When you see me shed a tear
And you know that it’s sincere
Dontcha think it’s kinda sad
That you’re treatin’ me so bad
Or don’t you even care

Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses
That's for sure
I die each time
I hear this sound
Here he comes - that's Cathy's clown

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day

Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
A vow that all betray

For the passions that thrill love
And take you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let it fall to hell
So ends the story

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away

Telling the truth can be dangerous business.
Honest and popular don't go hand in hand.
If you admit that you can play the accordion,
No one'll hire you in a rock 'n' roll band.

But we can siiinnnngggggg . . . our hearts out (all night)
And if we're lucky, then no neighbors complain.
Nobody knows where the beginning part starts out (sing all right)
But being human we can live with the pain.

Because life is the way we audition for God;
Let us pray that we all get the job.

Cryin' out loud gets you pointed and laughed at
Be like a baby. Only babies should cry. . .
Somebody tell me how that rumor got started.
Some things I know that only God knows why.

But we can siiinnnngggggg . . . our hearts out (all night)
And if we're lucky, then no neighbors complain.
No body knows where the beginning part starts out (sing all right)
But being human we can live with the pain

Riders on the storm, riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born, into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There’s a killer on the road, his brain is squirmin’ like a toad
Take a long holiday, let your children play
If you give a man a ride, sweet family will die
Killer on the road

Girl you gotta love your man, girl you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand, make him understand
The world on you depends, our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm, riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born, into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm, riders on the storm
Riders on the storm, riders on the storm

What makes a man go crazy when a woman
wears her dress so tight
What makes a man go crazy when a woman
wears that ol' dress so tight
Must be the same ol' thing
that make a tom cat fight all night

Now, why do all the big men
try to run a big-legged woman down
Now, why do all the big men
try to run a big ol' woman down
Must be the same ol' thing that
makes a bulldog a huggling 'round

It's that ol' same thing,
now tell me who's to blame
The whole world is fighting
about that ol' same thing

What make you feel so good
when your baby's in her evening gown
What make you feel so good
when your baby's in her evening gown
Must be that same ol' thing
that makes a preacher lay his bible down

It's that ol' same thing,
now tell me who's to blame
The whole world is fighting
about that ol' same thing

I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me

It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes

You and your glance
Make this romance too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazing their light can't hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle

You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside

Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes

Just when I think
I'm free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love

(I must like this. I used it already back at the beginning of June.)

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

I see you live on Love Street
There's this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Full moon and empty arms
The moon is there for us to share
But where are you
A night like this could weave a memory
And every kiss could start a dream for two

Full moon and empty arms
Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon
And next full moon
If my one wish comes true
My empty arms will be filled with you

She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She only lets you wonder how to feel them
Would you get behind them if you could only find them
She's my baby, she's my baby
Yeah, it's all right

The ground is so warm, and the moon is so bright.

Apparently

Overhead, the moon is beaming
White as blossoms on the bough
Nothing is heard but the song of a bird
Filling all the air with dreaming
Would my heart but still it's beating
Only you can tell it how, beloved
From your window give me greeting
Hear my eternal vow

Soft in the trees lies the echo of my longing
While all around you my dreams of rapture throng
My soul, my joy, my hope, my fear
Your heart must tell you that I am near
List from above while I pour out my love
For you know through my life you are love'd
Oh, hear my longing cry, oh, love me or I die

Blue moon, you saw me standin' alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me sayin' a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

Find a few survivors! A doctor's come to town.
Tell me all your symptoms, please, and haul your trousers down.
Half your troubles, please; these don't need to be told,
And I can cure the other half with blue bread mold.

Blue bread mold, the story must be told.
Nothin' keeps ya livin' like the blue bread mold.
Blue bread mold, the story must be told.
Nothin' keeps ya livin' like the blue bread mold.

Just like old Saxophone Joe
When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.

Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.

Rasberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care ?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there.

Saddle me up on my big white goose
Tie me on 'er turn her loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.

I don't need much and that ain't no lie
Ain't runnin' any race
Give to me my country pie
I won't throw it up in anybody's face.

Shake me up that old peach tree
Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.

Windin' your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taking you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it had everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin'
You're tryin' now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
But you're cryin'
You're cryin' now

Way down the street there's a lad in his place
He opens the door he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything

He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down there's a quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin
Cus he's rollin'
He's the rollin' stone

And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin' it's a new morning
You're goin'
You're goin' home.

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London

If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Werewolves of London

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Werewolves of London

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Werewolves of London
Draw blood

Standing on Preston Platform,
Do the soft shoe shuffle dance...
Brush away the cigarette ash,
that's falling down your pants...
And you sadly wonder;
Does the Nurse treat your old man,
the way she should...
She made you tea; asked for your autograph;
What a laugh...

You look to the stars for answers
Your face glowing in blue
You smile at the thought that there's something out there
Suddenly a smile turns to a stare
A million tiny light bulbs shining
Through celluloid across the country
Little green men
Eyes shielded with a shaky hand
The women screaming
And the children gather and wonder
Who's there
Who's there

We'll be close as pages in a book
My love and I
So close, we can share a single look
Share every sigh
So close that before I hear your laugh
My laugh breaks through
And when a tear starts to appear
My eyes grow misty too

Our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground
We'll hold them fast
Darling, as the strongest book is found
We're bound to last
Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart
We'll be close as pages in a book
Never to part

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.

I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you.
I'll be in love with you.

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you..

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Last nights dream
We rode our bikes
To our tree house by the sea
And there we laid and said we'd never leave.

Last nights dream
I promised you would have
The whole world at your feet
And that we'd lay
On a bed we made of leaves.

And we both know
You're everything I need
And now I know
What she does to me

She takes me high
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
She's got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me high, high


Last nights dream
We drove your car
To the dead end of your street
And we made love where no one else could see.

Last nights dream
I held your hand
And asked if you would be
Forever mine, together you and me.

And we both know
You're everything I need
And now I know
What she does to me

She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
She's got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me high, high
She takes me high tonight.

I'll keep sleeping
If I don't stop dreaming
I would stop my breathing for you
I'm not leaving
This life I'm dreaming
Cause I can't stop living with you.


She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
She's got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me high, high

She takes me
She takes me
She takes me
She takes me high tonight

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him
You might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains
His life was far away on the road and hanging by a song
But the strings already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long

It's a Colorado Rocky Mountain high
He's seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadows from the starlight
Are softer than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high
Colorado
Rocky Mountain high

Big house, big car, back seat, full bar.
Houseboat won't float. Bank won't tote the note.
Too much stuff. There's just too much stuff.
It'll hang you up, dealing with too much stuff.

Hangin' out on the couch puttin' on the pounds.
Better walk, run, jump, swim. Try to hold it down.
You're eatin' too much stuff, too much stuff.
It'll wear you down, carrying around too much stuff.

Hundred dollar cab ride, fogged in, can't fly.
Greyhound, Amtrak, oughta bought a Cadillac.
Too much stuff. Too much stuff.
It'll slow you down, fooling with too much stuff.

Well, it's way too much.
You're never gonna get enough.
You can pile it high
but you'll never be satisfied.

Rent a tux, shiny shoes, backstage, big schmooze.
Vocal group can't sing, won awards for
everything.
Too much stuff. Too much stuff.
They just keep on going, rolling in all that stuff.
Got hurt, can't work, got a lot o' bills,
But the policy don't pay 'less I get killed.
Too much stuff. Too much stuff.
Just my luck, counting on too much stuff.

Running back can't score till he gets a million more.
Quarterback can't pass. Owner wants his money back.
Too much stuff. Too much stuff.
You know, you can't get a grip when you're slipping in all that stuff.

Women every which-a-way messing with my mind.
You know, I fall in love every day three or four times.
Too much stuff. Too much stuff.
It'll mess you up, fooling with too much stuff.

Yeah, too much stuff. Too much stuff.
Too much stuff. Too much stuff.
You never get enough 'cause there's just too much stuff.
You know you can hurt yourself, fooling with too much stuff.
Yeah, it'll tear you down, fooling with all that stuff.

Caught a ride into South Dakota,
With two girls in a light blue Desoto,
You know one's name was Jane,
The other was plain,
But they both had racing motors.

Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife,
She had a brand new laid down Rambler.
She stopped outside of town,
Laid the rambler down,
Said she sure could dig it if I rode her,
Said she sure could dig it if I rode her.

Doing my best to get back to you,
Ain't nothing' I'd rather do.
Look for me Sunday,
Gonna be there, honey,
With something special just for you.
Yeah a little something special just for you.

At a truck stop for toothpick and water,
Caught a ride with a fruit picker's daughter,
I drove her through the night,
While the fruit got ripe,
She gave me all I could eat for a quarter.

Next I hopped a train with a hobo woman,
Said she was from Texas too.
The way she did, what she did,
what she did, what she did to me,
made me think of you.
Yeah honey made me think of you.

Doing my best to get back to you,
Ain't nothing I'd rather do,
Look for me Sunday,
Hope I'll be there, honey
With something special just for you,
Yeah a little something special just for you

Bet all my money on a race horse baby
One they said can't lose.
Now I'm walking down here,
in the freezing rain
Trying to get to you, trying to get to you.

Doing everything I know how to do
I'm down here in the freezing rain, honey
Trying to get to you,
Yeah just trying to get to you.

Doing everything, everything I know how to do
Walking down here in the freezing rain, honey
Trying to get to you,
Yeah trying to get to you.


And I'm walking and I'm talking to myself
And it's raining and I'm freezing me to death
thinking 'bout you babe
thinking 'bout you babe

James Dean, James Dean
I know just what you mean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look allright
If I could see it on the silver screen

You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator
You were just too cool for school
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop
The only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules

James Dean, James Dean
So hungry and so lean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems
There's nothing there at all
You just seem older than yesterday
And you're waiting for tomorrow to call
You draw to the curtain and one thing's for certain
You're cozy in your little room
The carpet's all paid for, God bless the TV
Let's go shoot a hole in the moon

And Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screens
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range
Turn on the T.V., shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight

Nine o'clock mornings, five o'clock evenings
I'd liven the pace if I could
Oh I'd rather have ham in my sandwich than cheese
But complaining wouldn't do any good
Lay back in my armchair, close eyes and think clear
I can hear hoof beats ahead
Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop
While the wife and the kids are in bed

And Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screens
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range
Turn on the T.V., shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

She stood beside my narrow bed
To check my E.K.G.
She shook her pretty little head
At what's become of me

I thought I glimpsed a path that led
Through rhododendron days
And fuchsia nights to the boatshed
In which we two once lay

But she gazed only at my chart
The valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart
In Macgillycuddy's Reeks

Terminal
Spinning and whirling
Descending unending
Light the halo
Watch the day glow
Spiral is viral
I'm seeing believing
Dig the feedback
Take another crack at it

Harder and harder
The hollow deceiver
Hit the noise blox
Smash the ice box
Louder and louder
Forgetting the setting
Kill the digital
Beat the terminal

Go
Take it slow
Let it go
Get down hard
It's terminal

Sensing commencing
The final dismantle
Your confusion
My illusion
Terminal heading
Advance to the hideout
Put the light out
Throw me down, throw me down

Hear a phoebe sing his only song
This summer's day is hovering
I'll ride my full heart, troubles fly like embers
Out the windows of our traveling car

Even the stars sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars hide away
Even the stars sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars hide away
Even the stars sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars hide away

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlour Bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are

But here I sit in Dublin
Just rollin' cigarettes
Holdin' back and chokin' back
The shakes with every breath

Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinkin' what I thought
I loved you from the git go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbye

I am just a poor boy
Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
I would not be the same

I'll stand up and be counted
I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from you

I have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been too proud
To come in out of the rain

I have seen the David
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues

Stand up
Hold my hand
I hope you understand
Here where time is still
I walk the hill
Stand here
Close to me
Here for all eternity
I wait as others will
I walk the hill

I held you then
I hold you still
I held you as I always will
And you can have my heart to fill
As I walk the hill

I am not as strong as I am told
Feels to long since I was bold
But you can lie in sheets of gold
If I walk the hill

You touch me and I understand
We only write our names in sand
But I can stand where legends stand
When I walk the hill

I pulled into the regular pump
I was feelin' quite at ease
I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please"
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun
He said, "Boy this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run"

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
Because that great fillin' station holdup
Cost me two good years

We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP
A big ol' jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career
We're wanted men, we'll strike again
But first let's have a beer

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
Because that great fillin' station holdup
Cost me two good years

We were sittin' in the Krystal
About as drunk as we could be
In walks the deputy sheriff
And he's holdin' our TV
Roughed us then he cuffed us
And he took us off to jail
No pictures on a poster, no reward and no bail

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
'Cause that great fillin' station holdup
Cost me two good years

Yes that great fillin' station holdup
It cost me two good years

Amanda the actress waits at the station
She's drifting with nothing to do
With dilettante steps she's quick to accept
The weather and times turning screw

She lives in a tower armed with defences
She learned from her mother and friends
She walks like a pharaoh, dresses in day-glo
When she's in pain she pretends...

That late in the night when the lights are all out
She slips off her stockings and shoes
She makes you her lover and lets you discover
The smiles she keeps, she keeps for you

She keeps no, she keeps no
She keeps no secrets from you

Facing the morning, wearing her shadow
She throws her dice and I-ching
Success in Japan, a rescuing man
Knows she won't change anything

`Cause late in the night when the lights are all out
She slips off her stockings and shoes
She makes you her lover and lets you discover
The smiles she keeps, she keeps for you

She keeps no, she keeps no
She keeps no secrets from you
She keeps no secrets from you
She keeps no secrets from you
She keeps no secrets from you

Can you please tell me what the time is?

I’m feelin’ mighty lonesome
Haven’t slept a wink
I walk the floor an’ watch the door
In between I drink
Black coffee …

Love’s a hand-me-down brew
I’ll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room.

Been talkin’ to the shadows
One o’clock ‘til four
An’ Lord how slow the moments go
When all ya do is pour
Black coffee …

Since the blues caught my eye
I’m hangin’ out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry.

You know a man is born to love a woman
To work and slave to pay her debts
Just because he’s only human
To drown his past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes.

I’m moanin’ all the mornin’
Mournin’ all the night
In between it’s nicotine
Not much heart to fight
Black coffee ...

Feelin’ low as the ground
I’m waitin’ for my baby
To maybe come around.

Gonna drown my past regrets
In some coffee and a few cigarettes.

I’m moanin’ all the mornin’
Mournin’ all the night
In between it’s nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee …

Feeling low as the ground
It’s driving me crazy!
Just waitin’ for my baby
To maybe come around.
Please come around.

I was feelin' the blues
I was watchin' the news
When this fella came on the TV
He said I'm tellin' you
That science has proved
That heartaches are healed by the sea
That got me goin'
Without even knowin'
I packed right up and drove down
Now I'm on a roll
And I swear to my soul
Tonight I'm gonna paint this town

So bring me two pina coladas
I want one for each hand
Let's set sail with Captain Morgan
And never leave dry land
Troubles, I forgot 'em
I buried them in the sand
So bring me two pina coladas
She said goodbye to her good timin' man

oh, are you standing
are you standing up or sitting down?
i've got news to deliver to you and you're not gonna like the way it sounds.
i've gone straight under and i've ripped the sails.
i've buttoned my lip with liquid nails.
i crossed my eyes and then i started falling right down in the parking lot.
there's a sunday rider on the corner every weekend.
he makes his run, counts, leaps and sits.
it always crosses my mind when i start sorting out the lost and found.
tonight i'm gonna spend just laying down,
smoking all the pot that i just found.
it was laying on the ground in the parking lot.
i'm gonna set sail in a different sea,
cause i can't clean up for anything.
crash landing's never been too good to me.
i'm just standing in place making a mess of things.

Lady Luck and four leaf clovers
Won't ease this hurt I feel all over
My life was one special occasion
'Til your leaving dampened the situation

I'm Standing on Shaky Ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shaky Ground
Ever since you put me down

My car got repossessed this morning
Harder times I haven't seen in years
You better throw me a life preserver
'Cause I'm about to drown in my own tears

We skipped a light fandango,
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor.
I was feeling kind of seasick,
But the crowd called out for more.
The room was humming harder,
As the ceiling flew away.
When we called out for another drink,
The waiter brought a tray.

Woke up this morning
Happy as could be
Looked out my window
And what did I see
A comin' up my sidewalk
Just as plain as day
A well a here come trouble
That I never thought I'd see
When you went away

Hello trouble, come on in
You talk about heartaches
Where'n the world ya been
I ain't had the miseries
Since you been gone
Hello trouble, trouble, trouble
Welcome home

We'll make a pot of coffee
And you can rest your shoes
A you can tell me them sweet lies
And I'll listen to you
For I'm just a little part of
Of the life you've lived
But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble
Than to never know the love you give

I guess you're off to have your fun
Another ending just begun
And I know what I don't see
Really shouldn't bother me

So go and have yourself a ball
You'll be at no one's beck and call
And with that fire in your eyes
Another lover's moon will rise
And someone else will take the fall

And that's just the way you are, I've known all along
Some candles always burn even when the night is gone
But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally
When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
You can burn one down for me
So you don't matter anymore
I'll convince myself, I'm sure
As if I give a damn
That's just the way I am

So go on and pour yourself some wine
With who'll ever spend your time
'Cause anyone can see you won't be crying over me
And you never were that kind

And that's just the way you are, I've known all along
Some candles always burn even when the night is gone
But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally
When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
You can burn one down for me

When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
You can burn one down for me

Oh I get drunk most every night
Seems like all we do is fight
The more I drink
The less I feel blue
Sometimes I feel like an awful fool
Spendin' my life on an old bar stool
And yes I guess they oughta name a drink after you

If this date were to be our last
I'd never sit down this glass
It'd take all the booze in the world
To forget you
You've left my heart a vacant lot
I'll fill it with another shot
And yes I guess they oughta name a drink after you

Looks like I had my fill
Guess I better pay my bill
When I started out I only meant to have a few
Someone just said that you left town
I better get a double round
And yes I guess they oughta name a drink after you

Nickels and dimes, memories and wines
She's on his mind once again
The same old stool, the same old fool
Played by the rules, but didn't win
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose.
He tried forgettin', but he knows that it's no use

He's got a fool-hearted memory
It won't let him see that she walked out the door
He's got a fool-hearted memory,
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more

Baby, you come whisper at my door
What do I open it for?
I'm always happy to see your face
Even though you are discrace.

I'm sick of sneaking around X4

Hide your smile It's broad daylight
And don't start thinking about last night
You can't say these things out loud
But I'm not leaving and I'm not proud.

I'm sick of sneaking around X4

Do me the honor of holding my hand on the plane
Take me on public transit
Express your feelings on the train
We travel together over time zones and weather
Never really touching the ground.

The only evidence I have
Dirty pictures in my bag.
Am I ever going to see where you live?
Am I ever going to meet your kid?

I'm sick of sneaking around X4

When the train pulled in to the station
He slicked back his hair, rosined up his bow
Fiddle upside down, Orange Blossom Special
If you want to make a living then you've got to put on a good show


When he smelled the smoke and the cinders
Rolled his sleeves up, opened up his case
Played Cherokee Fiddle, played for the whiskey
Good whiskey never let him lose his place


He was always there playing for the miners
Devil's Dream was a tune they all understood
Then he'd go home to Oklahoma
And wait 'till the trains were runnin' and the weather was good


When he smelled the smoke and the cinders
Rolled his sleeves up, opened up his case
Played Cherokee Fiddle, played for the whiskey
Good whiskey never let him lose his place


Now the Indians are dressin' up like cowboys
And the cowboys are puttin' leather and turquoise on
And the music gets sold by the lawyers
And the fools who fiddled in the middle of the stations are gone


Some folks say they'll never miss them
Fiddle screeched like the engine break
Ol' Cherokee Fiddle gone forever
Like the sound that the whistle on an old locomotive make


So when you smell the smoke and the cinders
Slick your hair back, open up your case
Play Cherokee Fiddle, play for the whiskey
Good whiskey never let's you lose your place
No, good whiskey never let's you lose your place

They're stackin' the chairs on the table again
They turned down the Budweiser sign
Soon they'll be callin' a taxi for me
It's only a matter of wine

Yes it's only a matter of wine
Till I'm something that words can't divine
Yes she'll soon be out of my mind
And it's only a matter of wine

Outside a big truck is washing the street
Leaving our dream world behind
While inside I'm washing your mem'ry away
Cause it's only a matter of wine

Yes it's only a matter of wine
Only a matter of wine

We both lost our balance
I drink to forget

Whiskey and wine
Killing me, shot at a time

You put the liquor in the cup
And you just swirl it around
'Cause you don't remember
If you're up or you're down

A temporary fix
Your moments elixir, yeah
And I will say

I put my hand up in the air
And I won't do it again, no
Can't promise it because
I don't pretend to know why

The price I pay, yeah, yeah
Not a remedy for a thing
And I won't do it again

Whiskey and wine
Killing me, shot at a time

Whiskey and wine
Killing me, shot at a time

Well its sunday morning
And the sun is shining in my
Eye that is open
And my head is spinning
Was the life of the party
I can't stop grinning
I had too much tequllia last night

Jose Cuervo
You are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with
A little salt and lime
Did I kiss all the cowboys
Did I shoot out the lights
Did I dance on the bar
Did I start any fights

Now wait a minute
Things don't look to familiar
Who is the cowboy whos sleeping beside me
Well he's awful cute
But how'd I get his shirt on
I had too much tequllia last night

Jose Cuervo
You are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with
A little salt and lime
Did I kiss all the cowboys
Did I shoot out the lights
Did I dance on the bar
Did I start any fights

All those little shooters
How I love to drink them down
Come on bartender lets have another round
Well the music is playing
And my spirits are high
Tomorrow might be painful
But tonight we're going to fly

Jose Cuervo
You are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with
A little salt and lime
Everytime we get together
I sure have a good time
You're my friend, you're the best
Mi amigo(Tequllia)

Jose Cuervo
You are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with
A little salt and lime
Did I kiss all the cowboys
Did I shoot out the lights
Did I dance on the bar
Did I start any fights

Jose Cuervo
You are a friend of mine

Window walkin' downtown, feelin' mighty good
And I noticed from the corner how all alone she stood
Underneath the lamplight, an angel in disguise
Lonely little runaway with teardrops in her eyes

Crazy little ragdoll, her hair was wild and tossed
And I put my arm around her, 'cause I knew that she was lost
She didn't seem to notice that anyone was near
Till suddenly she turned to me and whispered in my ear

Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I want to go home, and help me get home
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I need to get home, need to get home

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
you do?

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

When all my dreams are scattered to the wind
I'll begin again and you're the reason why
When all our friends no longer know my name
And say that I'm not the same
I know that I'll get by

As long as there's you
At the end of every road
To give me all your love, and a gentle hand to hold
As long as there's you
At the end of every night to tell me it's alright
And shield me from the cold

Billy was a drover
He lived out on the three chain road
Fell in love with Mary and they married
She made his shack a home

He drove them off to Queensland
And it hurt to have to leave her on her own
But she promised she'd be waiting
When he brought the cattle home

There's a lonesome wind blowing down
The three chain road tonight
It's sending out a warning as she blows
Billy don't go riding down
The three chain road tonight
The wind is crying Billy please don't go

Billy came home early
He wasn't due for many days
Walked into the cabin and found his Mary
In a strangers arms she lay

In the blindness of his anger
The fatal shots rang out from Billy's gun
In that smoky silence he knew
And he wept for what he'd done

There's a lonesome wind blowing down
The three chain road tonight
It's sending out a warning as she blows
Billy don't go riding down
The three chain road tonight
The wind is crying Billy please don't go

Billy walked out slowly
He knew what must be done
Somewhere in the darkness a shot rang out
Billy's time had come

They say his spirit's out there
You can feel it every time the cold wind blows
It's warding off the strangers
Who come by the three chain road

Ever since the days of old,
Men would search for wealth untold.
They`d dig for silver and for gold,
And leave the empty holes.
And way down south in the Everglades,
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass sways.
The eagles fly and the otters play,
In the land of the Seminole.

So blow, blow Seminole wind,
Blow like you`re never gonna blow again.
I`m calling to you like a long lost friend,
But I know who you are.
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee,
All the way up to Micanopy.
Blow across the home of the Seminole,
The alligators and the gar.

Progress came and took its toll,
And in the name of flood control,
They made their plans and they drained the land,
Now the glades are going dry.
And the last time I walked in the swamp,
I sat upon a Cypress stump,
I listened close and I heard the ghost,
Of Osceola cry.

So blow, blow Seminole wind,
Blow like you`re never gonna blow again.
I`m calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are.
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee,
All the way up to Micanopy.
Blow across the home of the Seminole,
The alligators and the gar.

Way out here they have a name for wind and rain and fire
The rain is Tess , the fire's Joe, and they call the wind Mariah
Mariah blows the stars around, sets the clouds a'flyin'
Mariah makes the mountain sound like folks was up there dyin'

Mariah, (Mariah), Mariah (Mariah), they call the wind Mariah

Before I knew Mariah's name and heard her wail and whinin'
I had a gal and she had me and the sun was always shinin'
Then one day I left my gal, I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gol-durned lost not even-God-can find me

Mariah, (Mariah), Mariah (Mariah), they call the wind Mariah

When you're lost and all alone there ain't no name for lonely
I'm a lost and lonely man without a star to guide me
Mariah, blow my love to me, I need my gal beside me

Mariah, (Mariah), Mariah (Mariah), they call the wind Mariah

The wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound
Made him a slave to his wand'rin ways

And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Oh, I met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
I'm now alone with a broken heart

And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

The next of kin to the wayward wind

^^ My mother-in-law liked that song so much her e-mail address was waywardwind@hotmail.com

A month of nights, a year of days
Octobers drifting into Mays
I set my sail when the tide comes in
And I just cast my fate to the wind

I shift my course along the breeze
Won't sail up wind on memories
The empty sky is my best friend
And I just cast my fate to the wind

There never was, there couldn't be
A place in time for men like me
Who'd drink the dark and laugh at day
And let their wildest dreams blow away

So now I’m old, I’m wise, I’m smart
I’m just a man with half a heart
I wonder how it might have been
If I hadn’t cast my fate to the wind

When the sun rose this morning,
I didn't have my baby by my side.
When the sun rose this morning,
I didn't have my baby by my side.
I don't know where she was,
I know she's out with some another guy.

Don't the sun look lonesome
Shading down behind the trees?
Don't the sun look lonesome
Shading down behind the trees?
But don't your house look lonesome
When your baby's packed to leave.

Blow wind, blow wind, blow my baby back to me.
Blow wind, blow wind, blow my baby back to me.
Well you know if I don't soon find them,
I will be in misery.

Goodbye baby, that is all I have left to say.
Goodbye baby, that is all I have left to say.
But you have lost your good thing,
Go ahead and have your own way.

The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair- and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
And I lost you, i lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind

the summer wind
warm summer wind
mmm the summer wind

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin

Sarabeth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
And the bruise, it just won't go away
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
Flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with a smile
Stands at the door
And says will you please come with me

Sarabeth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white
Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you

Six chances in ten it won't come back again
With the therapy were gonna try
It's just been approved
It's the strongest there is
I think we caught it in time

Sarabeth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair

Sarabeth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom

For, just this morning right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny

Sarabeth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love was holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair

Its quarter to seven
That boys at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry
Cause this mornin where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin

And they go dancin
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grave
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords.

I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
but I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in second splat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on

The fire in your eyes
Keeps me alive...

And the fire in your eyes
Keeps me alive...

I'm sure in her you'll find
Sanctuary...

I'm sure in her you'll find
Sanctuary...

You don't remember me, but I remember you
Was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you

If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you

I see that worried look upon your face,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
She's found somebody else to take your place;
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
I too have lost my love today,
All of my dreams have flown away.
Now just like you I sit and wonder why;
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You need some sympathy, well so do I,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
She used to love me, that I know,
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were walking, that we were talking
The way that lovers do.

I'd help another place, another time,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You've got your troubles, I got mine.

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say
I hope you're feeling better
I'll close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And I'm gonna make believe it came from you

Took a walk and passed your house
Late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn
Way down tight
From within, a dim light cast
Two silhouettes on the shade
Oh, what a lovely couple they made

Put his arms around your waist
Held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste
In the night
Wondered why I'm not the guy
Whose silhouette's on the shade
I couldn't hide the tears in my eye-eyes

Lost control and rang your bell
I was sore
Let me in or else I'll beat
Down your door
When two strangers who had been
Two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock
Your on the wrong block

Rushed down to your house with wings
On my feet
Loved you like I never loved
You my sweet
Vowed that you and I would be
Two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days
Two silhouettes on the shade

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems that you're avoiding me
I'm ok alone but you've got something I need

Well, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
I've been lookin' around a while
You got somethin' for me
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive I've been all around the world
Some people say I've done all right for a girl
Oh yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah-yeah

I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh sometimes I think that your avoiding me
I'm ok alone but you got something I need well

I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Ouch ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

Heaven's holdin' a half-moon
Shinin' just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust

Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, 'til the evenin' ends
'Til the evenin' ends

You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik


I know your Daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him
Jump at his beck and call

But you won't need no harem, honey
When I'm by your side
And you won't need no camel, no no
When I take you for a ride

Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, 'til the evenin' ends
'Til the evenin' ends

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows paintin' our faces
And traces of romance in our heads

Oh, come on...

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter
Girls as sharp as her are something rare
But it's sad, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough
But it ain't no good to pine

If she wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough
But it ain't no good to pine

Walking about, even in a crowd
Well, you'll pick her out
Makes a bloke feel
So proud

If she finds that I've been 'round to see you
Tell her that I'm well and feeling fine
Don't let on now, don't say she's broke my heart
I'd go down on my knees
But it's no use to pine

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter

One of these days ... I'm gonna cut you up into little pieces.

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

there was a guy
an under water guy who controlled the sea
got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
from new york and new jersey
this monkey's gone to heaven

the creature in the sky
got sucked in ahole
now there's a hole in the sky
and the ground's not cold
and if the ground's not cold
everything is gonna burn
we'll all take turns
i'll get mine, too
this monkey's gone to haven

rock me joe!

if man is 5 - if man is 5 - if man is 5
then the devil is 6 - then the devil is 6 - then the devil is 6 - then the devil is 6
and if the devil is 6
then god is 7 - then god is 7 - then god is 7

this monkey's gone to heaven

When nothing I feel like
Is going my way
And me and my good thing
Got no place to stay
I pack up the Chevy
And we roll out of town
To a little piece of country heaven
Where we turn it up to eleven

Uncle John's farm is a place we can go
Where no one will stand in our way
And you'll love Aunt Colene
And her peaches and cream
It'll give us a shot in the arm
Down at our Uncle John's farm

Rock on the porch swing
By the light of the moon
And drink lemonade
On a hot afternoon
Roll on the river
Or have a roll in the hay
I'm so glad my momma has a brother
Thank you Lord, may I have another?

Uncle John's farm is a place we can go
Where no one will stand in our way
And the grass is so green in a city boy's dream
We can sleep all alone in the barn together
Down at my Uncle John's farm

Charley bought some popcorn
Billy bought a car
Someone almost bought the farm
But they didn't go that far
Things shut down at midnight
At least around here they do
Cause we all reside
down the block inside
at ....23 skidoo.

Midnight cruisin' in his Continental
Diamond rings, silk suit and spat
Checkin' out the chicks on every corner...
They're the feathers in his hat.

Makin' his rounds by every streetlight
Takin' his cut from the ladies' pay
They keep talkin', He keeps walkin'
And as he leaves you'll hear them say...

Come on, Girls... Let's work for Nobby...
Let's make hay while the streetlights shine...
Come on, Girls... Let's work for Nobby...
Nobby's gon' be your Valentine...

And if some girl gives Nobby trouble,
He pulls out a big switchblade...
Straighten up, Girl... on the double...
Or you'll get a real close shave...

Come on, Girls... Let's work for Nobby...
Let's make hay while the streetlights shine...
Come on, Girls... Let's work for Nobby...
Nobby's gon' be your Valentine...

Come on, Girls... Let's work for Nobby...
Let's make hay while the streetlights shine...
Come on, Girls... Let's work for Nobby...
Nobby's gon' be your Valentine...

Hot child in the city, runnin' wild lookin' pretty.

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I grow weak

I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Here comes my happiness again
Right back to where it should have been
'Cause now she's gone and I am free
And she can't do a thing to me

I just wanna dance the night away
With senoritas who can sway
Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright
Just like the sunny mornin' light

And if you should see her
Please let her know that I'm well
As you can tell
And if she should tell you
That she wants me back
Tell her no
I gotta go

I just wanna dance the night away
With senoritas who can sway
Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright
Just like the sunny mornin' light

And if you should see her
Please let her know that I'm well
As you can tell

And if she should tell you
That she wants me back
Tell her no
I gotta go

I just wanna dance the night away
With senoritas who can sway
Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright
Just like the sunny mornin' light

I just wanna dance the night away
With senoritas who can sway
Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright
Just like the sunny mornin' light

And if she should tell you "come closer"
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

And if she should tell you "I love you", whoa whoa
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
Don't let her love from your arms
Oh oh oh oh
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now, don't hurt me now

And if she tells you "I love you", whoa
Just remember she said that to me
Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
Don't take her love from my arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't leave me now for her love belongs to me

My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say

Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do

Aww, take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky

Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you

So, take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill,
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry.

Did you ever see a robin weep,
When leaves began to die?
That means he's lost the will to live,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Going down that long lonesome highway
Bound for the mountains and the plains
Sure ain't nothing here gonna tie me
And I got some friends I'd like to see
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way

One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Yes I'm going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way

Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
I don't want to be treated this away.

Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
I don't want to be treated this away..

Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
I don't want to be treated this away.

Goin' where the chilly winds don't blow.
Goin' where the chilly winds don't blow.
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
I don't want to be treated this away.

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by

My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by


(I'm pretty sure I already used this. Oh well.)

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

It's funny honey, you don't care
You never listen, to my prayer
Maybe baby, you will love me some day

Well you are the one that, makes me glad
Any other one that, makes me sad
When some day, you'll want me
Well, I'll be there, wait and see .

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me.

Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath To Wet Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel 'round Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat.
It's Just Another Day.

At The Office Where The Papers Grow She Takes A Break,
Drinks Another Coffee
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Awake,

It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.

Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Her Up
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.

As She Posts Another Letter To The Sound Of Five,
People Gather 'Round Her
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Alive,

It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.

Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Her Up
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.

Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath To Wet Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel 'round Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat.

Ah, It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through

All he asks from me is the food to give him strength
All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get

So, I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through

All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes
I don't need no cold water to make me realize that

I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through

and it's about Henri Matisse


E foi assim que você fez de mim
Esse quadro triste
Pintado em tela
Plhos caídos e um sorriso falso
Numa moldura amarela
Em tinta óléo e aquarela

Me pinte cruel
Me mate
Com a sutileza
Da arte

Me expôe e explora
Minha mediocridade
E assim, bem assim faz de mim
Sua vernissage

In Dublin's fair city,
Where girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she pushed her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Now she was a fishmonger,
And sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before,
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

She died of a fever,
And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I pay the rent
Pay it right on time
Baby I pay you every single dime
For my heart
The heart that you own

Used to be I could love here for free
Way back before you bought the property
Now I pay daily on what once was mine
Lord I probably owe you
For the tears that I cry

The locals call that sculpture "The tart with the cart''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statues_in_Dublin

Hear silver trumpets will trill in the Arabic streets of Seville
Oranges roll in the gutter
And you pick them up
And peel back the skin
To the red fruit within

But the flavour is..
Tart
And the flavour is...
Tart

Is it something you crave
And you say that you only feel bitterness
When you know it?s a lie, lie, lie?

Wild with a blackberry bush
there were blossoms of cherries to crush
There, at the edge of the asphalt tempting fingertips
They stain your hands, press too hard
They'll color your lips...

But the flavour is..
Tart
And the flavour is...
Tart

Is it something you crave
'Cos you say that you only feel bitterness
Would it kill you to show us a little sweetness?

Odd, where nothing else grows
It was something like love that she chose
Always a creature of habit
When pity would do
She wore down that heel with no feeling
She kept on her shoes

Nylon was hung from a peg
And a kohl black seam ran down her leg
Fishermen look for their nets
And send their regrets
But the bug lay there broken
She spoke, "Is this some kind of joke?"

but the flavour is...
Tart

Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times

When you snap your fingers
Or wink your eye
I come a running to you
I'm tied to you, baby
And there's nothing I can do
Ooh, sugar

Sugarpie honeybunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love you see
Wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And I've tried
But everytime I see your face
I get up all choked up inside

When I call your name, girl
It starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide

Sugarpie honeybunch
You now that I'm weak for you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

Yes, when they express it politely. I'm aware of that. Which, incidentally, may or may not be why I posted the pic. :mrgreen:

In the white room with black curtains by the station
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in her dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers ran down jungles in her dark eyes
Now she's dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried

I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

I am a rock
I am an island

september's sun welcomes you home
you've followed the road leading to new Rome
sky is open wide like father's arms
ship's sinking in your mother's tears
dreaming of fortune as many before
having it all planned in the back of your mind
ready for some change,taking the challenge
of making today the steps of tomorrow

ever rising hope's catching all the souls
taking them away on a trip far from home
in a big city,in a foreign land
learning life again
walking on the western ground

I'm just a rolling stone, all alone and lost,
On this road of sin I've paid the cost,
When I pass by, all the people say,
It's just another guy on the Lost Highway.

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine,
The day we met I went astray,
I started rolling down that Lost Highway.

I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two,
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,
But now I'm lost, too late to pray,
And I've paid the cost on the Lost Highway.

Now boys, don't start to rambling around,
On this road of sin you're sorrow-bound,
Take my advice, or you'll curse the day,
You started rolling down the Lost Highway.

We're all going on a summer holiday
no more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on our summer holiday,
no more worries for me or you,
for a week or two.

We're going where the sun shines brightly
we're going where the sea is blue.
we've all seen it on the movies,
now let's see if it's true.

Everybody has a summer holiday
doin' things they always wanted to
So we're going on a summer holiday,
to make our dreams come true
for me and you.
for me and you.

here it is the groove slightly transformed
just a bit of a break from the norm
just a little somethin' to break the monotony
of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
a little bit out of control it's cool to dance
but what about the groove that soothes
that moves romance
give me a soft subtle mix
and if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
and think of the summers of the past
adjust the bass and let the alpine blast
pop in my cd and let me run a rhyme
and put your car on cruise and lay back
cause this is summertime
