Death in the wilderness
It's a hopeless case I guess
Who's looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won't be long
We'll find the wilderness has died
We'll be the lonely one
Concrete, plastic human throng
Tellin' one another have you heard the news
We'll mow it down, we'll rape the ground
'til there's nothing left to abuse
The rabbit, he'll be gone
The bird will sing no song
The wolf, the bear, the lion too
The insect far and near, creatures like the deer
We'll put in cages a the zoo
Death in the wilderness
It's a hopeless case I guess
Who's looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won't be long
We'll find the wilderness has died
The stream will all dry out
The fish, gone no doubt
We'll have no animals to fear
The tree will be no more
We'll use it to build the store
Mountain scene will disappear
These changes takin' place
Will affect the human race
We'll all know it when it's gone
God save this planet now
We've got to help somehow
We've left it happen way too long
Death in the wilderness
It's a hopeless case I guess
Who's looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won't be long
We'll find the wilderness has died
We'll find the wilderness has died
Death in The Wilderness - JJ Cale

Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
We've grown accustomed to your fate.
We almost make your life begin.
We've grown accustomed to the loons that
cackle night and noon.
Your bugs, your slugs,
Your smells, your sounds
Are sacred nature to us now;
Like building homes and building inns.
We were serenly independent and content before we met
Surely we could always be that way again-
And yet
We've grown accustomed to the trees;
Accustomed to the birds;
Protective of their fate.
[Spoken]
"Rape nature?" What an infantile idea. What a heartless,
wicked, brainless thing to say.
Who but we can protect the animals from the comet.
Who but we can protect Earth's wee creatures from the coming age of ice?.
Who but we can protect the wee vile creatures from themselves?
Mankind-so-kind, that's who, and let's not forget it.
[Sung]
But we are a most forgiving kind;
The sort who never could, ever would,
Take a position and staunchly never budge.
A most forgiving kind.
But, If the green freaks beg please,
And even crawl upon on their knees
And promise to atone;
Let them shiver, let them moan;
We'll slam the door and let the pussycats freeze!
[Spoken]
"Enviornmental kooks!"
I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face

Pussycat wasn't a kitten
And not as dumb as they thought
She had a good head on her shoulders
And beauty that couldn't be bought
The royalty made her an offer
If she'd keep trouble at bay
They'd give her the money and diamonds
Be queen for a day

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah!
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand
I'll pick up your hand
And slowly blow your little mind

[SPOKEN]
I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, 'Is that all there is to a fire'
[SUNG]
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle.
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over,
I said to myself, 'is that all there is to a circus?
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love.
Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't,
and when I didn't I said to myself, 'is that all there is to love?'
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
I know what you must be saying to yourselves,
if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment,
for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
Is That All There Is

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows ’em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though has Macheath dear
So there’s never, never a trace of red

Jumpin' Jack Flash
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas! Gas! Gas!

Day by day night after night,
blinded by the neon lights
Hurry here hustlin' there,
no one's got the time to spare
Money's tight nothin' free,
won't somebody come and rescue me
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire
Crossfire~Stevie Ray Vaughn version

Blinded by the light
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin’, sneezin’ and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Looking for someone
Who would want to stay
I might find her
With a bit of luck one day
But who knows
So until then
I can only try and try again
Merry-go-round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round

Just wanna be with my love tonight
And it's a lover's prayer, oh yes it is
Takes a little time, takes a little care, yeah, yeah, yeah
And when it gets way on in the midnight hour
I just wanna play my guitar
I just wanna see you smile, touch your face
Be with you in my own place
Lover's Prayer~Van Morrison

YOUR PRETTY BROWN EYES, YOUR WaVy HAIR,
I WON'T GO HOME NO MORE, 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT THERE.
I'M TELLING YOU NOW LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU,
DON'T LEAVE ME NO MORE.
LIPSTICK TRACES ON A CIGARETTE,
EVERY MEMORY LINGERS WITH ME YET.
I GOT IT BAD LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU,
DON'T LEAVE ME NO MORE.
(Won't you come on home?)
WON'T YOU COME ON HOME?
(Won't you come back home)
WON'T YOU COME BACK HOME?
I'M CRAZY 'BOUT YOU, CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU,
WON'T YOU COME BACK HOME?
I'M TELLING YOU NOW LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU,
DON'T LEAVE ME NO MORE.
(Won't you come on home?)
WHY DON"T YOU COME ON HOME?
(Won't you come back home)
WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME?
I'M CRAZY 'BOUT YOU, CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU,
WON'T YOU COME BACK HOME?

Don't know when I've been so blue,
don't know what's come over you.
You've found someone new
and don't it make my brown eyes blue.
I'll be fine when you're gone,
I'll just cry all night long.
Say it isn't true
and don't it make my brown eyes blue.
Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies.
Give me no reasons, give me alibies.
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry,
say anything but don't say goodbye.
I didn't mean to treat you bad,
didn't know just what I had.
But honey now I do
and don't it make my brown eyes,
don't it make my brown eyes,
don't it make my brown eyes blue. ~ R Leigh

Primitive love
I want what it used to be, primitive love
No modern love, it's all a hustle
What's done is done, now it's my turn to have some fun
You're much to sly, don't give me alibis
I don't want to know, I don't want to know

Not a soul down on the corner,
That's a pretty certain sign,
That wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine.
All the boys are singing love songs,
They forgot "Sweet Adeline,"
Those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine.
There goes Jack, there goes Jim,
Down to lover's lane.
Now and then we meet again,
But they don't seem the same.
Gee, I get a lonesome feeling,
When I hear the church bells chime,
Those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine.

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just the way you used to do
Till the blue skies chase the dark clouds far away
Now, won't you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know
Tell 'em it won't be long
'cause they'd be happy to know that when you saw me go
I was singing this song
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day We'll Meet Again
__________________ The Ink Spots________________________ Written by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles(Notes: This version did not chart but in 1941, Kay Kyser and Guy Lombardo's versions both hit # 24. In 1942, Benny Goodman stood alone at # 16. And then in 1954, Vera Lynn brought it back at # 29 and her version was used in the final scene of the 1964 film "Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" directed by Stanley Kubrick. If you saw the film you'll remember the song, a masterpiece of juxtaposition.) I'd swap my last little toe to hear the Ink Spots' rendition.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
So goodbye yellow brick road

I'm going back to my plough

Come on lets go back
Follow the yellow brick road as we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
I once used to call home sweet home
I roam the streets so much they call me a drifter
Sometimes I stick up a thumb just to hitch hike
Just to get picked up to get me a lift to 8 mile and Van Dyke
And steal a god damn bike from somebody's backyard
And drop it off at the park that was the half way mark
To meet Kim had to walk back to her mama's them dramas after
dark
To sneak me in the house when I'm kicked out my mom's
Thats about the time I first met Proof when poof he'd carry on
the set
Set eyes born in and out some flyers, he was doin some talent
shows
At center line, I had told him to stop by and check this out
sometime
He looked at me like I'm out my mind shook his head like white
boys dont know how to rhyme
I spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place
And we both had the same rhymes that sound alike
We was on the same shit that Big Daddy Kane shit with compound
syllables sound combined
From that day we was down to ride somehow we knew we'd meet
again somewhere down the line

RIGHT DOWN THE LINE
You know I need your love
You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

Hold the Line
It's not in the way that you hold me, it's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
She said it’s really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
dat other guy

He was mobile and ignoble with no conscience global,
a blot, some say, upon the human race.
Some say he was vicious, malicious and ambitious,
But no one ever said it to his face.
Sometimes at night I wake up in fright,
I think his time is once again due;
he was far but now he's nearing, soon he'll be appearing
in a theatre of war near you!
Oh, those who can walk better carry the wounded
and those who can't walk better run.
What's that sound in my eardrums? Here comes Attila the Hun!
Hubba-hubba, wanga-wanga-be-bop!

The Want of a Nail
You’re askin’
What’s all this talk about horses and war?
Put yourself in the place of the man at the forge
And day after day you live a life without love
’til the morning you can’t take it anymore
And you don’t get up
-- Todd Rundgren

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
Frankie Valla, from Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
-- lyrics by Johnny Mercer, music by Joseph Kosma

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.

no, don't bother to thank me. but hey, ship that toe postage paid, would you?
My dear tsuwm, you are quite the good fairy. The ink was hardly dry on my song request when you so kindly posted the obscure 1939 song "We'll meet Again" as recorded by the Ink Spots.
My friend, I hope you'll forgive the spelling errors in my post. When I typed "toe" I meant "toad" and when I typed "left" I meant "lefty", so now instead of my left toe I'm sending you a toad named "Lefty". I hope you understand.
And one more thing...the dern post office wouldn't let me ship a live toad so I pointed Lefty north and set him hopping.
But no need to worry about Lefty, I warned him to watch out for double-talking weasels because they can't be trusted. Thanks again.
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown; Two left feet but oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown. They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown; I'll tell you why, you know I don't lie...much. It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town; Since she came, why it's a shame how she coos 'em down. Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met. Georgia claimed her, Gergia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown. No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown; Two left feet but oh so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown. They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown;, I'll tell you just why, you know i don't lie, not much! All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown;, They buy clothes at fashion shows with one dollar down, Oh boy tip your hats, oh joy, she's the "cat's" Who's that, mister? 'Tain't her sister -- Sweet Georgia Brown. Sweet Georgia Brown

Few songs in the history of music have been recorded by so many different artists from so many different genres. Allmusic.com lists more than 1,100 releases. It has been done by just about everyone from Pat Boone to the Beatles, from Bing Crosby to Buddy Greco, by most of the big bands, by vocal groups from The Ink Spots and The Mills Brothers to The Los Angeles Jazz Choir, by virtually all of the giants of jazz, even country artists from Roy Rogers to Willie Nelson. Yet the first version that often comes to mind is the whistled recording to which The Harlem Globetrotters basketball team still does their warmup routine before games.)

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year
Some Sweat Hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

You In your Lark You're a mark You're a screamer
You know how to hustle
Daddy is a rare Millionaire I don't care
Yeah you got the muscle
I got the news
Yes dear how did you know
Can't you see our love will grow
Take it in your hand All the sirens And the band
Get to bendin' my ear
How was I to know about the warm soulful secret
You been keepin' for years
I got the news
Slow down I'll tell you when
I may never walk again
Broadway Duchess
Darling if you only knew
Half as much as
Everybody thinks you do
What I hear may be true
I would still be proud to know you
Spanish kissin' See it glisten
You came ragin' Love rampagin'
I got the news
Yes dear how did you know
Can't you see our love will grow
Steely Dan
