Restarting the lyrics thread with Milo's last offering
[Spoken]
Those who dance and romance while they dance...
They seem so happy and gay;
Though they sing while they swing and they sway,
Somehow I can't feel that way.
I've been dancing with tears in my eyes,
'Cause the girl in my arms wasn't you;
Dancing with somebody new,
When it's you that my hearts calling to.
Trying to smile, once in a while,
But I find that so hard to do.
I've been dancing with tears in my eyes,
'Cause the girl in my arms wasn't you.
Dancing With Tears In My Eyes

I'm singing Baby
I know you know
When the music's pumpin'
And the lights are low
You become someone else
I feel it burnin from my soul
It takes me higher..yeah
And baby there's no reason to control
Your hot dance with my desire
I Know~Shawn Mullins

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
when you love some one but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
Fix u- by Coldplay..... the best song i have heard in 2005.

Lights
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh
So you think you’re lonely
Well my friend I’m lonely too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Ooh, ooh
It’s sad, oh there’s been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Sun streaking cold --
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end --
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.
Feeling alone --
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend --
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze --
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.
Aqualung - Ian Anderson

The *sun* is a mass
of incandescent gas
a gigantic nucular furnace
where hydrogen is turned
into he-li-um
at a temprature of millions of degrees
Yo, ho! It's hot!
The sun is not
a place where we could live
But dum dum dum
dum dum dum dum
There'd be no you and me!
Songs of Science by ___, later lifted by ___
by Lou Singer and Hy Zaret, 1959
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where Hydrogen is built into Helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives
We need its light, we need its heat
The sun light that we seek
The sun light comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where Hydrogen is built into Helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot...
The sun is so hot that everything on it is a gas
Aluminum, Copper, Iron, and many others
The sun is large...
If the sun were hollow, a million Earth's would fit inside
And yet, it is only a middle size star
The sun is far away...
About 93,000,000 miles away
And that's why it looks so small
But even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day
We need its heat, we need its light
The sun light that we seek
The sun light comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom smashing machine
The heat and light of the sun are caused by nuclear reactions between
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, and Helium
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where Hydrogen is built into Helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not
Folks said his family were all dead
Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going

The night Santa went crazy
The night Saint Nick went insane
Realized he'd been getting a raw deal
Something finally must've snapped in his brain
Yes, Virginia, now Santa Claus is dead
A guy from the SWAT team blew a hole through his head
Yes, little friend, that's his brains on the floor
Guess you won't have the fat guy to kick around anymore

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

My bonnie lies over the ocean
My bonnie lies over the sea
My bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh bring back my bonnie to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me

My bonnie lass she smelleth,
Making the flowers jealouth.
Fa la la (etc.)
My bonnie lass dismayeth
Me; all that she doth say ith:
Fa la la (etc.)
My bonnie lass she looketh like a jewel
And soundeth like a mule.
My bonnie lass she walketh like a doe
And talketh like a crow.
Fa la la (etc.)
My bonnie lass liketh to dance a lot;
She’s Guinevere and I’m Sir Lancelot.
Fa la la (etc.)
My bonnie lass I need not flatter;
What she doth not have doth not matter.
Oo la la (etc.)
My bonnie lass would be nice,
Yea, even at twice the price.

Alors Pierre s'approcha de lui, et dit: Seigneur, combien de fois pardonnerai-je à mon frère, lorsqu'il péchera contre moi? Sera-ce jusqu'à sept fois? Jésus lui dit: Je ne te dis pas jusqu'à sept fois, mais jusqu'à septante fois sept fois.

And my head I'd be scratchin

He's a good dog
I've had him for years
used to get up when I walked by
Now he justs lifts up his ears
and he listens when I talk to him
though he don't understand
when I talk too much he just ignores me
and goes to sleep again
He's a good dog
I got him as a pup
I tried to teach him all those tricks
But then I just gave up
cause he never acted very bright
though his eyes they've got this glow
and I actually think he knows some things that
actually I don't
And he never barks at strangers
and he never barks at cars
and he howls at the coyotes
while they're howlin' at the stars
and he scratches at the back door
'til someone lets him in
then he scratches at the other side
'cause he wants back out again.
He's a good dog
and one of these days
gonna have to drive him into town
and have him put away
'cause he don't hear that good no more
and he can't hardly walk
but until then I'll look at him
and say
he's a good dog.
Good Dog

I had a dog and his name was Blue
I had a dog and his name was Blue
I had a dog and his name was Blue
I betcha five dollars he's a good dog, too
Singin' "here, ol' Blue, you're a good dog, you!"
Ol' Blue come when I blow my horn
Ol' Blue come when I blow my horn
A' Blue come a' runnin' through the yella' corn
A' Blue come a' runnin' when I blow my horn
Singin' "here, ol' Blue, you're a good dog, you!"

Imagine you imagining that you love me
And starting on a family tree
Imagine starting on a family tree
The mama is you and the papa is me
If your heart goes bumpety-bump
It's love, love, love!
If your throat comes up with a lump
It's love, love, love!
If your knees go knockety-knock
It's love, love, love!
If you're cuckoo like the cuckoo in the clock
It's love, love, love!
Imagine you imagining a cozy flat
Complete with running dog and cat
Imagine having running dog and cat
And we will have welcome all over the mat
If your heart goes bumpety-bump
It's love, love, love!
If your throat comes up with a lump
It's love, love, love!
If your knees go knockety-knock
It's love, love, love!
If you're cuckoo like the cuckoo in the clock
It's love, love, love!
Imagine you imagining a man and wife
We'll go and buy a fork and a knife
Imagine eating with a fork and a knife
How ritzy we'll be for the rest of our life
If your heart goes bumpety-bump
It's love, love, love!
If your throat comes up with a lump
It's love, love, love!
If your knees go knockety-knock
It's love, love, love!
If you're cuckoo like the cuckoo in the clock
It's love, love, love!___________________________________________ What?"If your knees go knockety-knock
If you're cuckoo like the cuckoo in the clock"? It's gotta be the great Guy Lombardo and his orchestra back in 1944 playing "It's Love, Love, Love"
Regrettably, they don't write lyrics like that anymore... thankfully.

A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don’t want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don’t find this stuff amusing anymore
If you’ll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Al Nivrfergityah

Mother I want to be married
I want to be a bride
I want to live with that young *man*
Forever by my side
Forever by my side
Oh, happy I will be
For I'm young and merry
And oh so weary
Of my-y virginity

Night's the garden wall
Evening's a creeping vine
And our fingers are woven
Into stanzas that rhyme
The thunder is such a fright
And the sky is a cloth
And the moon's bright night light
Reflects off a moth
In your sad arms she comforts
Time is devout
And forever collapses to the span of a flower

Slow down, you move too fast
You gotta make the morning last
Just kickin' down the cobblestones
Lookin' for fun and
Feelin' groovy....
Hello lampost
Whatcha knowin?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me?
Doo Bee Doo Doo,
Feelin' groovy....
Got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me...
Life, I love you,
All is groovy....

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing near my ear
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me
'got a groovy kind of love
Anytime you want to you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me
got a groovy kind of love, oh
When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I don't care
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me
'got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love, oh
We got a groovy kind of love

When I hear that soft refrain
And I hear you gently sigh
I wanna take you where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingoes fly
Lie in the dark with the sweet sound of the nightingale
And listen for lark, and I will tell you a tale
Soft winds blowin', blowin' outside
I wanna take that moonlight ride
When I hear you gently sigh
I wanna take you where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder, yeah in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingoes fly

http://www.1950s60s.com/Music/1958/Twilight_Time.mp3Heavenly shades of night are falling
It's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling
It's twilight time
When purple colored curtains
Mark the end of the day
I hear you my dear at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor
As day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender
The setting sun
I count the moments darling
Till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time
Here in the after-glow of day
We keep our rendez-vous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
Like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
With dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just
To be with you
Together at last at twilight timeTwilight Time____________________The Platters

Sweet F. A.
Yeah, the hustle's now
Really nice somehow
See the street car scene
From the black limousine
Shout it out
Let it all hang out
But you won't get rough
'Cause it's all a bluff
Sweet F.A. - never gonna make it
Sweet F.A. - people think we fake it
Sweet F.A. - now we're gonna take it
Sweet F.A.

It might as well be night
Hope that you're alright
Well I just can't wait
To get you in my sight
You ask me if I miss you
I say not at all
Only every night
'Bout this time
When evening shadows fall
Every night about this time
When evening shadows fall
You're always on my mind
When evening shadows fall
Evening Shadows~Van Morrison

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
Your Song, by Elton John.

Money
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.
Money, get back
I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.
Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that
They're giving none away, away, away.

http://www.links2love.com/love_lyrics_69.htm(Go to link, punch [Midi] then minimisze and sing-a-long.) I was all right, for a while,
I could smile, for a while
But I saw you last night,
you held my hand so tight
As you stopped, to say "Hello"
Ah you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying, over you,
crying, over you
Then you said "so long"
left me standing all alone
Alone and cry-ing, cry-ing, cry-ing, cry-ing
It's hard to understand, but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I, was over you, but it's true, oo so true
I love you even more, than I did before
but darling, what can I do
For you, don't love me, and I'll always be,
Cry-ing over you, cry-ing over you
Yes, now you're gone, and from this moment on,
I'll be crying
I thought that I was over you, but it's true, oo so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what, can I do
For you don't love me and I'll always be
Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying
crying, crying, crying
Yeah crying, crying, crying over you Crying_________________Roy Orbison

http://www.links2love.com/love_lyrics_380.htmThe evening breeze caress the trees,
Tenderly.
The trembling trees embrace the breeze,
Tenderly.
Then you and I came wandering by,
And lost in a sigh were we.
The shore was kissed by sea and mist,
Tenderly.
I can't forget how two hearts met,
Breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly.
~
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly.
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly. Tenderly________________Nat King Cole

There was a Joe
Leanin' on the back door
A couple Jills with their eyes on a couple bills
Their eyes was statin'
They was waitin'
To get their hands on some easy money
They flipped a dime
One said " well, I'll take heads this time"
One stepped up
One stepped back
One loosened her shoulder strap
She couldn't speak,
Her knees got weak
She could almost taste that easy money
Easy Money~Rickie Lee Jones

Take me to the action, take me to the track
Take me to a party if they're bettin' in the back
I've been working all my life, can't afford to wait
Let me call my wife so I can tell her I'll be late
I want the easy, easy money
Easy money, I could get lucky
Oh, things could go right
I want the easy, easy money
Easy money, maybe this one time
Maybe tonight
~ Billy Joel

Takin Care of Business
You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out!
If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day

In the half-tone light of a young morning
she sighs and shifts on the pillow.
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly
to kiss the Pussy Willow.
In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing
in a sad voice nobody hears.
She waits in her castle of make-believe
for her white knight to appear.
Pussy Willow down fur-lined avenue
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs for the train , see: eight o'clock's coming
cutting dreams down to size again.
Pussy Willow down fur-lined avenue,
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming,
cutting dreams down to size again.
She longs for the East and a pale dress flowing
an apartment in old Mayfair.
Or to fish the Spey, spinning the first run of Spring
or to die for a cause somewhere.
Pussy Willow down fur-lined avenue,
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming,
cutting dreams down to size again.

She's faced the hardest times
You could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders
Bore the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence, in her ears
Let her cry, for she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
And if by chance I should hold her
Let me hold her for a time
But if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden, to be mine
Be careful how you touch her
For she'll awaken
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you walk into her eyes
you won't believe
The way she's always paying
For a debt she never owes
And a silent wind still blows
That only she can hear and so she goes
Let her cry, for she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
Skylark

I am a sailor and you're my first mate,
We signed on together, we coupled our fate,
We hauled up our anchor determined not to fail,
For the heart's treasure together we set sail.
With no maps to guide us we steered our own course,
We rose out the storms when the winds were gale force,
We sat out the doldrums in patience and hope,
Working together we learned how to cope.
Life is an ocean, love is a boat,
In troubled waters it keeps us afloat,
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you,
Now gathered around us we have our own crew.
Together we're in this relationship,
We've built it with care to last the whole trip,
Our true destination is not marked on any chart,
We're navigating for the shores of the heart.
The Voyage~Christy Moore

Point of Know Return
I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well
And they say they need sailing men to
Show the way, and leave today
Was it you that said, "How long, how long?"
They say the sea turns so dark that
You know it's time, you see the sign
They say the point demons guard is
An ocean grave, for all the brave,
Was it you that said, "How long, how long,
How long to the point of know return?"
Your father, he said he needs you
Your mother, she says she loves you
Your brothers, they echo your words:
"How far to the point of know return?"
"Well, how long?"
Today I found a message floating
In the sea from you to me
It said that when you could see it
You cried with fear, the Point was near
Was it you that said, "How long, how long
To the Point of Know Return?"

http://www.ibiblio.org/john_henry/songlist.htmlEDIT: Pardon the excessive length of this song but I felt honor bound to give the unknown genius who wrote this version of the epic "John Henry" some currency. While what worth you might gleam from reading this song will depend on what brain you brought to the reading, I promise you a careful study will be worthwile. "Another early version of the John Henry ballad collected by Johnson was obtained from Leon R. Harris of Moline, Ill. Mr. Harris, apparently an itinerant construction worker, claimed he first heard this version in 1909 while part of the crew building the Birmingham Power Co.'s plant at Birmingham, Alabama." JOHN HENRY Lissen to my story; 'Tis a story true; 'Bout a might man, --John Henry was his name, An' John Henry was a steel-driver too-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- John Henry was a steel-driver too. John Henry had a hammah; Weighed nigh fo'ty poun'; Eb'ry time John made a strike He seen his steel go 'bout two inches down,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- He seen his steel go 'bout two inches down. John Henry's woman, Lucy,-- Dress she wore was blue; Eyes like stars an' teeth lak-a marble stone, An' John Henry named his hammah "Lucy" too,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- John Henry named his hammah "Lucy" too. Lucy came to see him; Bucket in huh han'; All th' time John Henry ate his snack, O Lucy she'd drive steel lak-a man,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- O Lucy she'd drive steel lak-a man. John Henry's cap'n Tommy,-- V'ginny gave him birth; Loved John Henry like his only son, And Cap' Tommy was the whitest man on earth,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- Cap' Tommy was th' whitest man on earth. One day Cap' Tommy told him How he'd bet a man; Bet John Henry'd beat a steam-drill down, Jes' cause he was th' best in th' lan',-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- 'Cause he was th' best in th' lan. John Henry tol' Cap' Tommy; Lightnin' in his eye; "Cap'n, bet yo' las' red cent on me, Fo' I'll beat it to th' bottom or I'll die,- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- I'll beat it to th' bottom or I'll die." "Co'n pone's in my stomach; Hammah's in my han'; Haint no steam-drill on dis railroad job Can beat 'Lucy' an' her steel-drivin' man, Lawd, -- Lawd, -- Can beat 'Lucy' an' her steel-drivin' man." "Bells ring on de engines; Runnin' down th' line; Dinnahs done when Lucy pulls th' c'od; But no hammah in this mountain rings like mine,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- No hammah in this mountain rings like mine." Sun shined hot an' burning' Wer'n't no breeze at-tall; Sweat ran down like watah down a hill That day John Henry let his hammah fall,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- That day John Henry let his hammah fall. John Henry kissed his hammah; White Man turned on steam; Li'l Bill held John Henry's trusty steel,-- 'Twas th' biggest race th' worl' had ever seen,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- Th' biggest race th' worl' had ever seen. White Man tol' John Henry,-- "Niggah, dam yo' soul, You might beat dis steam an' drill o' mine When th' rocks in this mountain turn to gol',-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- When th' rocks in this mountain turn to gol'." John Henry tol' th' white man; Tol' him kind-a sad: "Cap'n George I want-a be yo' fr'en; If I beat yo' to th' bottom, don't git mad,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- If I beat yo' to th' bottom don't git mad." Cap' Tommy sees John Henry's Steel a-bitin' in; Cap'n slaps John Henry on th' back, Says, "I'll give yo' fifty dollars if yo' win,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- I'll give yo' fifty dollars if yo' win." White Man saw John Henry's Steel a-goin' down; White Man says,--"That man's a mighty man, But he'll weaken when th' hardes' rock is foun',-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- He'll weaken when th' hardes' rock is foun'." John Henry, O John Henry,-- John Henry's hammah too; When a woman's 'pendin' on a man Haint no tellin' what a might man can do,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- No tellin' what a mighty man can do. John Henry, O, John Henry! Blood am runnin' red! Falls right down with his hammah to th' groun', Says, "I've beat him to th' bottom but I'm dead,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- I've beat him to th' bottom but I'm dead." John Henry kissed his hammah; Kissed it with a groan; Sighed a sigh an' closed his weary eyes, Now po' Lucy has no man to call huh own,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- Po' Lucy has no man to call huh own. Cap' Tommy came a-runnin' To John Henry's side; Says, "Lawd, Lawd,--O Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawd,-- He's beat it to th' bottom but he's died,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- He's beat it to th' bottom but he's died." Lucy ran to see him; Dress she wore was blue; Started down th' track an' she nevvah did turn back, Sayin', "John Henry, I'll be true--true to you,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- John Henry, I'll be true--true to you." John Henry, O, John Henry! Sing it if yo' can,-- High an' low an' ev'ry where yo' go,-- He died with his hammah in his han',-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- He died with his hammah in his han'. Buddie, where'd yo' come from To this railroad job? If yo' wantta be a good steel-drivin' man, Put yo' trus' in yo' hammah an' yo' God,-- Lawd, -- Lawd, -- Put yo' trus' in yo' hammah an' yo God. *****************************************************

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin' crude.
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.
Well the first thing you know ol' Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said Jed move away from there
Said Californy is the place you ought to be
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is.
Swimmin pools, movie stars.
The Beverly Hillbillies!

So I say it's up to us to straighten
Out this mess...
We got to go through hell...
And then that's the last of this
Miserable test...
Black must be bold
Because it's gold and true
Kings of this world...
So let them go to the moon.
Yes let them go to mars.
Because deep down inside
They're really from the stars.
That's why they don't want
Us to mix...just the way
The word of God had said.
So let them go to saturn...that's
Where they'll learn instead.
Because black and white
Together is right...
And white by itself is
An egotistic elf....

People of the earth can you hear me
Came a voice from the sky on that magical night
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets
They traveled to the world on a silvery light
The people of the earth stood waiting
Watching as the ships came one by one
Setting fire to the sky as they landed
Carrying to the world children of the sun, children of the sun

I don't hate my parents
I don't get drunk just to spite 'em
I've got my own reasons to drink now -
Think I'll call my dad up and invite 'im.
I can sleep till noon any time I want
But there's not many days that I do
I gotta get up and take on that world
When you're an adult, it's not a cliche, it's the truth
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I got the problems of an adult
on my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now
I can't look at young girls anymore
People would think I'm some kind of pervert
Adults find sex either boring or dirty
Young people get away with murder
I can't write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more "boy meets girl, boy loses girl"
Now it's more like "man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong"
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult on my head and my libido
I'm an adult now
I can't listen to rock and roll anymore
I mean, I like the music, but I can't stand the racket
All that screaming, screaming, screaming
Some guy screaming in a leather jacket.
I can't take drugs anymore
I can't afford any artificial joy
I'd sure look like a fool lying dead in a ditch somewhere
With my head full of chemicals like some cheese-eating high school boy
I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
on my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

Why must every generation think their folks are square
And no matter where their heads are they know mom’s aunt there?
Cause I swore when I was small that I’d remember when
I knew what’s wrong with them that I was smaller then
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules
Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school I know I have forgotten maybe one or two
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby’s due
And I know he’ll have a question or two
Like "hey Pop, can I go ride my zoom
It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended by balloons
And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue
And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs"
And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation
Then I’ll know that all I’ve learned my kid assumes
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons
And still I’ll try to them him all the things I’ve done
Related to what he can do when he becomes a man
And still he’ll stick his fingers in the fan
And "Hey, Pop, my girlfriend’s only three
She’s got her own videophone and she’s taking L.S.D.
And now that we’re best friends she wants to give a bit to me
But what’s the matter Daddy, how come you’re turning green?
Can it be that you can’t live up to your dream?"

Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
from German band's (Nena?) lovely catchy song from about 1985 or so: 99 Red Balloons [99 Luftballons in the original]

Ninety-nine dead baboons
Sitting in my living room
Not so comfortable, it seems,
But quite a conversation piece
That one's Jake, this one's Dinah,
There's big Ned in my recliner -
No, it's not a Lazyboy,
Can't you see it's a dead baboon.
Sorry, I couldn't resist - a parody I heard about twenty years ago.
We now return to regular programming.....

I’ve been working on the railroad, all the live-long day. I’ve been working on the railroad, to pass the time away. Can’t you hear the whistle blowing, Wake up so early in the morn. Can you here the whistle blowing, Dinah, blow your horn. Dinah, won’t you blow Dinah, won’t you blow Dinah, won’t you blow, your horn, your horn. Dinah, won’t you blow Dinah, won’t you blow Dinah, won’t you blow your horn. There’s someone in the kitchen with Dinah, There’s someone in the kitchen I know, I know. There’s someone in the kitchen with Dinah, …and he’s strumming on the ole banjo. Strumming, strumming. He’s strumming on the o-ole banjo, banjo. Stumming, strumming. He’s strumming on the o-ole banjo. - Song I learned in grammar school when I was about 7 years old. (this was *many* moons ago so forgive any mis-remembered lyrics.  )

Island Of Souls
Billy was born within sight of the shipyard
First son of a riveter's son
And Billy was raised as the ship grew a shadow
Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun
And six days a week he would watch his poor father
A working man live like a slave
He'd drink every night and he'd dream of a future,
Of money he never would save
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future
Soon came a day when the bottle was broken
They launched the great ship out to sea
He felt he'd been left on a desolate shore
To a future he desperately wanted to flee
What else was there for a shipbuilder's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done
One day he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they would never be found
To a place far away from this town.
Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship
All the workmen suspended like flies
Caught in the flare of acetylene light
A working man works till the industry dies
And Billy would cry when he thought if the future
Then what they call an industrial accident
Crushed those it couldn't forgive
They brought Billy's father back home in an ambulance
A brass watch, a cheque, maybe three weeks to live,
And what else was there for a riveter's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done
That night, he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they could never be found
To a place far away from this town,
A Newcastle ship without coals
They would sail to the island of souls.

Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates
Of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging our shirts
In the dirty breeze
And after it rains
There’s a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It’s not that the colors aren’t there
It’s just imagination they lack
Everything’s the same
Back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town...

Willy Wonka:
[Spoken]
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
[Sung]
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it
There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by.
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy."
To have a girl like her
is truly a dream come true.
Out of all of the fellas in the world
she belongs to you...
But it was just my imagination
running away with me.
It was just my imagination
running away with me...

The Girl from Ipanema
Tall and tan and young and lovely
the girl from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes each one she passes goes “ahh”.
When she walks she’s like a samba
that swings so cool and sways so gentle
that when she passes each one she passes goes “ahh”.
Chorus:
Oh, but he watches so sadly.
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
but each day when she walks to the sea
she looks straight ahead, not at he.
Tall and tan and young and lovely
the girl from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes he smiles, but she doesn’t see.

ETA, I can't make the words fit with the tune we always hear. Can you write the first verse with the pauses to fit the music?

Yes, very cool, etaoin. But the "ahh" seemed a bit Lackadaisical; musical, yet lackadaisical.  ________________________________________________________________ Three cool cats, three cool cats
Parked on the corner in a beat-up car
Dividing up a nickel candy bar
Talking all about how sharp they are, these
Three cool cats
Three cool chicks, three cool chicks
Walkin' down the street swingin' their hips
Splitting up a bag of potato chips
And three cool cats did three big flips for
Three cool chicks
Well, the first cool cat
He said, "Man, look at that!
Man, do you see what I see?"
"I want this little chick!"
"I want that little chick!"
"Hey, man, save one chick for me!"
Three cool chicks, three cool chicks
They look like angels from up above
And three cool cats really fell in love
And three cool chicks made three fools of these
Three cool cats Three Cool Cats

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you
the
right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man , you're some kinda sinner"

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put ’em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see ’em
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Where the earth shows its bones of wind-broken stones
and the sea and the sky are one
I'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wine
and I'm running naked in the sun
There's God in the trees , I'm weak in the knees and the sky is a painful blue
I'd like to look around, but, honey, all I see is you.
Well, the summer city lights will soften the nights
till you'd think that the air was clear
and I'm sitting with friends where forty-five cents
will buy another glass of beer
He's got something to say, but I'm so far away
that I don't know who I'm talking to
Cause you just walked in the door, and honey, all I see is you.
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
but, honey, what the hell's it for?
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find a way to let you know somehow
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now.
Now alone in the lights on stage every night
I've been reaching out to find a friend
Who knows all the words, sings so she's heard
and knows how all the stories end.
Maybe after the show she'll ask me to go
home with her for a drink or two
Now her smile lights her eyes, but, honey, all I see is you.
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
but, honey, what the hell's it for?
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find a way to let you know somehow
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now.
Forty-five years

When I was younger man
I hadn't a care
Foolin' around
Hitting the town
Growin' my hair
You came along and stole my heart
When you entered my life
Ooh, babe, you got what it takes
So I made you my wife
Since then I never looked back
It's almost like livin' a dream
And oooooooh, I love you
You came along from far away
And found me here
I was playin' around
Feelin' down
Hittin' the beer
You picked me up
From off the floor
And gave me a smile
You said you're much too young
Your life ain't begun
Let's walk for awhile
And as my head was spinnin' 'round
I gazed into your eyes
And thought
Oooooooh, I want you
Thank you babe for being a friend
And shinin' your light in my life
'Cause ooooooh
I need you
As my head was comin' round
I gazed into your eyes
And thought
Ooooooh, I want you
Thanks again for being my friend
And straightenin' out my life
'cause oooooooh
I need you
Since then I never looked back
It's almost like livin' a dream
Ooooooh, I got you
If ever a man had it all
It would have to be me
And ooooooh, I love you

Brush up your Shakespeare.
Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And the women you will wow.
With the wife of the British ambessida.
Try a crack out of "Troilus and Cressida."
If she says she won't buy it or tike it.
Make her tike it, what's more, "As You Like It."
If she says your behavior is heinous.
Kick her right in the "Coriolanus!"
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And they'll all kowtow.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And the women you will wow.
If you can't be a ham and do "Hamlet".
They will not give a damn or a damnlet.
Just recite an occasional sonnet.
And your lap'll have "Honey" upon it.
When your baby is pleading for pleasure.
Let her sample your "Measure For Measure!"
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And they'll all kowtow.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And the women you will wow.
Better mention "The Merchant Of Venice".
When her sweet pound o' flesh you would menace.
If her virtue, at first, she defends---well.
Just remind her that "All's Well That Ends Well"!
And if still she won't give you a bonus.
You know what Venus got from Adonis!
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And they'll all kowtow.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And the women you will wow.
If your goil is a Washington Heights dream.
Treat the kid to "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
If she then wants an all-by-herself night.
Let her rest ev'ry 'leventh or "Twelfth Night."
If because of your heat she gets huffy.
Simply play on and "Lay on, Macduffy!"
Brush up your Shakespeare.
And they'll all kowtow.
Brush up your Shakespeare.
Start quoting him now.
From KISS ME KATE (1948)

You could talk like a fool-I'd listen
You could talk like a sage
Anyway the best of my mind
All goes down on the strings and the page
That mind picks up all these pictures
It still gets my feet up to dance
Even though it's covered with keloids
From the "slings and arrows of outrageous romance"
I stole that from Willy the Shake!
You know--"Neither a borrower nor a lender be"
Romeo, Romeo talk to me!

Fashion! Turn to the left
Fashion! Right

We are the goon squad and we're coming to town

Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
Beep-beep

No offence, Maverick, I mean, I like David Bowie and all, but let's face it...that damn beep-beep song didn't have any meaning at all! Now here's a song with import! [Very slowly] Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep
While riding in my Cadillac
What to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me
About one third my size
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep[Slowly] I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He musta thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep[Normal speed] My car went into passing gear And we took off with gust (whoosh) Soon we were going ninety Musta left him in the dust When I peeked in the mirror of my car I couldn't believe my eyes The little Nash Rambler was right behind You'd think that guy could fly Beep beep beep beep His horn went beep beep beep [Quickly] Now we were doing a hundred and ten
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep[Very quickly] Now we're going a hundred twenty As fast as I can go The Rambler pulled along side of me As if we were going slow The fella rolled down his window And yelled for me to hear "Hey buddy how do I get this car outa second gear?" Beep-Beep
________________ The AutotonesNotice how the lyrics speed up when the cars go faster? Now, that's Art! Of course, it helps if you know what a "Nash Rambler" is. But if you don't...well, that's life.

While we float on this mortal sea
We wear our colours so heroically
We're only living on GMT
Everyone else is just a refugee
Ah I wake up, I'll take up
It's about time for a shake up
When pride is blind you know
We're only stuck in second gear
So wrap up, never give up
It's about time to deliver
Without the man who drives you ... (?)
You know I'm staying in
We're on an island in the sea
We're on and island we never leave
We're on an island in the sea
We're on and island we never leave

Refugee
We got somethin', we both know it,
We don't talk too much about it.
Ain't no real big secret all the same,
somehow, we get around it.
It don't really matter to me, baby,
You believe what you want to believe,
You don't have to live like a refugee.
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Somewhere, somehow,
Somebody must have kicked you around some.
Tell me why you wanna lay there and revel in your abandon.
It don't make no difference to me, baby,
Everybody's had to fight to be free,
You see you don't have to live like a refugee.
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Baby, we ain't the first.
I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned.
Right now this seems real to you,
But it's one of those things you gotta feel to be true.
Somewhere, somehow,
Somebody must have kicked you around some.
Who knows? Maybe you were kidnapped,
Tied up, taken away, and held for ransom.
It don't really matter to me, baby,
Everybody's had to fight to be free,
You see you don't have to live like a refugee.

Who’s better than me
’cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind...

Peace Of Mind
Now, if you're feeling kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying;
Futures coming much too slow,
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on staying,
Can't decide on which way to go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chorus :-
I understand about indecision,
But I don't care if I get behind.
People living in competition;
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
Yeah.
O-o-oh.
Now you're climbing to the top of the company ladder,
Hope it doesn't take to long.
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter,
Come a day when you'll be gone.
Chorus
Take a look ahead.
Take a look ahead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now everybody's got advice they just keep on giving.
Doesn't mean too much to me.
Lots of people have to make-believe they're living,
Can't decide who they should be.
Chorus
Take a look ahead.
Take a look ahead.
Look ahead.

...slowly I turned. Step by step. And then... Been so long
It's been a mighty long time
Since by baby left this town
I don't have nowhere to go
And I don't even have a dime.
Been so long
The carpet has faded on the flo'
Been so long
My light don't burn bright no mo'
I jes sit here wonderin'
Where in the world did...my baby go.
Been so long
My just can't sleep at night
When I go to eat my breakfast in the mornin'
My teeth and tongue, begin to fight.
Ooooooh! Oooh! Ooh! My Baby left town.
(She had to left town.)Mighty Long Time
____________________Sonny Boy Williamson As sang and played for me by Mister Williamson as we rode around Birmingham in the backseat of an old '48 Dodge looking for a liquor store a mighty mighty long time ago. Thanks Maverick, for giving me the occasion to relive the memory.

Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
what kind of pie?
In a graveyard charade, a late shift masquerade
2 for a quarter, dime for a dance
with Woolworth rhinestone diamond earrings,
and a sideway's glance
and now the register rings
and now the waitress sings

This Masquerade
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear
every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reason why
we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We could just start over
but it's oh so hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade

I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
So many people love you baby
That must be what you are
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition
I want to reach out and pull you to me
Who says I should let a wild one go free
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
But I can't love you this much baby
And love you from this far

In Your Eyes
Accepting all I’ve done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there’s nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
I will touch this tender wall
Til I know I’m home again
Ooh
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes
Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway (in your eyes) to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Love, I don’t like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway (in your eyes) to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Accepting all I’ve done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there’s nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
Oh it’s in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
I want to stand and stare again
Oh, it’s in your eyes.

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby flagged a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
Well I took my harp on out of my dirty red bandana
Blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slapping time
Holding Bobby's hand in mine
We finallly sang near every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Freedom ain't worth nothing but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me Lord in everything I done
Bobby's body kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord I let her slip her away
Looking for that home I hope she'll find
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Freedom ain't worth nothing but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Me And Bobby McGee by Kristofferson & Foster, as sung by The Grateful Dead

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
Everybody!
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
That’s it!
Janis Joplin singing

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not o sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Lennon & Macca

And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a
study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm
singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.

I'm just a man, Dan's got a future,
with a fast picking hand,
but my brother,
my brother, like my mother,
they're living back,
in the dead head fad,
well don't be sad,
they may be upgly,
but they're not that bad,
their only faulter is that they hate water,
and water is something you gotta have,
hippies hate water,
one day I found,
myself driving, myself around,
and then I saw 'em,
like a herd sheep callin',
"Gimme a ride to the Dead show man",
well don't be sad,
they may be smelly,
but they're not that bad,
their only faulter is that they hate water,
and water is something you gotta have,
hippies hate water.

*It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line between love and hate
It's five o'clock in the morning
And you're just getting in
A knock upon the door
A voice sweet and low says
(who is it?)
She opens up the door
And she lets you in
And never once does she say
"where have you been?"
She says,"Hold it,
Are you hungry,did you eat yet,
Let me hang up your coat now"
And all the time she's smiling
Never raises her voice
It's five o'clock in the morning
And you dn't give it a second thought
(*Repeat)
The sweetest woman in the world
Could be the meanest woman in the world
If you make her be that way
She might be holding something in
That's really gonna hurt you
One of these fine days
There you are in the hospital
Bandaged from foot to head
In a state of shock
That much from bein' dead
You didn't think your woman
Could do something like that to you
You didn't think she'd got the nerve
Accidents speak louder than words
Louder than words
Louder than words
Louder than words,come on
Come on,baby,baby
If you won't give a damn about me
Come on baby,bay
You don't really care about me
Hear what I say
Hear what I say
Annie Lennox

Maybe she doesn't, but I will. Along with a "Welcome Back!"

You talk like Marlene Dietrich And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire Your clothes are all made by Balmain And there`s diamonds and pearls in your hair You live in a fancy appartment Of the Boulevard of St. Michel Where you keep your Rolling Stones records And a friend of Sacha Distel But where do you go to my lovely When you're alone in your bed Tell me the thoughts that surround you I want to look inside your head Where Do You Go To My Lovely (by Sarstedt Peter)

A little space
A little time
See what it can do
A little faith
Peace of mind
See what passes through
The sun will shine on you again
A bell will ring inside your head
And all will be brand new

A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd TODD: (spoken) These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for! LOVETT: Here we are, now! Hot out of the oven! TODD: What is that? LOVETT: It's priest. Have a little priest. TODD: Is it really good? LOVETT: Sir, it's too good, at least! Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh, So it's pretty fresh. TODD: Awful lot of fat. LOVETT: Only where it sat. TODD: Haven't you got poet, or something like that? LOVETT: No, y'see, the trouble with poet is 'Ow do you know it's deceased? Try the priest! TODD: (spoken) Heavenly! Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps, but then again, not as bland as curate, either! LOVETT: And good for business, too -- always leaves you wantin' more! Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays! -- Stephen Sondheim see it all here: A Little Priest

Shipped far north on a Dundee whaler,
Bonnie laddie! Hieland laddie!
Shipped far north as a whalin' sailor.
Me bonnie Hieland laddie!
Bound away to Iceland cold,
Found much ice but not much gold.
Greenland is a cold country,
Not the place for you and me.
We caught some whales an' boiled their blubber,
Oil an' fat choked every scupper.
We'll soon be homeward bound to Scotland,
Homeward bound to Bonnie Scotland.
I'll be glad when I get hame,
I'll give up this whalin' game.
Oh, Hieland Laddie went a-sailin',
Oh, Hieland Laddie went a-whalin'.

I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket for my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Silently for me.
Paul Simon

Someday,
When I'm awfuly low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look, tonight
Oh but you're Lovely
With you smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you [all]
Just the way you look, tonight
With each word you tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Love me,
Never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love , you [all]
Just the way you look, tonight
Just the way you look, tonight

let me tell you...
the power of love...
make you do right... love'll make you do wrong...
make you want to dance...
love and happiness...
love and happiness...
love is... wait a minute... love is...
walkin' together...
talkin' together...
say it again...
say it together...
Love and Happiness~Al Green

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping - staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's Talkin' ~ Harry Nilsson

Sailing
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
