Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Little Green~Joni Mitchell

It’s not easy being green
It’s not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or
yellow or gold-
Or something much more colorful like that.
It’s not easy being green.
It seems you blend in with so many other
ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you over ‘cause you’re
not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water-
or stars in the sky.
But green’s the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it’ll do fine,
it’s beautiful!
And I think it’s what I want to be.

not a contiguous word match, but...
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I’d be without you
God Only Knows (surprise!)

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you...

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark,
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones.
'Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town.
Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
Yeah, go to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.
When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.
'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.
"Goodbye," that's all she wrote.
But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg.
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,
With your tail tucked between your legs,
Yeah, go to Jackson, you big-talkin' man.
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan.
I'm Goin' To Jackson

Take my word, the mockingbird
He will sing the saddest kind of song,
He knows things are wrong and he's right.
From natchez to mobile, from memphis to st. joe,
Wherever the four winds seem to blow,
I've been in some big towns and I've heard me some big talkin',
But there is one thing I know,
A woman's a two-face, she's a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night.
~Ella Fitzgerald, Blues in the Night, Mercer/Arlen.

After all Jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red.

Earache My Eye
My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve
My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose
My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team
For wearin' high-heel sneakers and actin' like a queen
The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair
And it don't bother me if people think I'm "funny"
'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money
money, money, money, money, money, money
Ahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
I'm so bloody rich! Ha ha ha ha
I own apartment buildings and shopping centers! Ha ha ha ha
And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha ha

She keeps her Moet et Chandon In her pretty cabinet
'let them eat cake' she says Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laserbeam

To avoid complications She never kept the same address
In conversation She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China Went down to Geisha Minah
(Killer, killer, she's a killer Queen)
Then again incidentally If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite

You wanna try...

When I come home one night
I was tired as a man can be
I saw a hat on the dresser
Where my hat suppose to be
I said "Wake up, Baby
Explain all this stuff to me,
Whose hat is that on the dresser
Where my hat, suppose to be?"
She said "you must be silly, you talk like funny,
Why don't you open up your eyes and see.
You know that hat, ain't nothing but a wash pan
That my mother-in-law sunt to me."
Well I've been all over the World
And the Gulf of Mexico
But I ain't never saw no wash pan
With no hatband around it befo'.
The next night when I come home
I was tired as a man can be
I saw a mule in my stable
Where my mule suppose to be
I said "Wake up, little girl
Explain all this stuff to me
Whose mule is that in my stable
Where my mule, suppose to be?"
She said " You must silly - Daddy you ain't talking right,
Why don't you open up your eyes and see?
You know that mule, ain't nothing but a milk cow
That my grandmother, sunt to me".
I've been all, over the World
And the Gulf of Mexico
But I ain't never saw no milk cow
With no saddle on its back befo'
Wake Up, Baby

Strange bird flying low

Shoot you down, he's a strange bird
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a strange bird

I wonder if we could play this game like Antakshari, the hindi equivalent, when each succeeding song segment has to start with the last leter of the preceding song segment.

Strange brew -- kill what’s inside of you.
She’s a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind she’s in love with you.
With you.
Now what you gonna do?

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose, everybody knows
Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"

Life is too short so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get shot.
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest.
Never start no static I just get it off my (chest).
Take a small example, a tip from me...
Take all of your money and give it up to charity.
Lovin’s what I got, it’s within my reach
It all comes back to you you’re going to get what you deserve.
Try and test that, you’re bound to get served.
Love’s what I got, don’t start a riot,
You feel it when the dance gets hot.
Lovin’, is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin’, is what I got, I said remember that.
Why I don’t cry when my dog runs away.
What I Got~Sublime

...Re-mem-mem, re-mem-mem-mem-ber oop-shoop then
Then , remember then
That night we fell in love
Beneath the stars above
That was a lovely summer night
Remember then, then, then, then, then
Summer's over
Our love is over
To lose that love was such a sin
Remember, re-mem-mem, mem-mem-mem-mem-ber
Our love is in the past
patta-past
Oh, has it gone so fast
patta-past
Why couldn't our love last?
Can't last
Wop, wop, patta patta pop-pop, shoo-wop-dah bop bop, ooh
I'm broken-hearted now
Since we have parted now
My mind wanders now and then
Remember then, then, then, then, then

New York State of Mind
Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood.
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind.

I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina coladas
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said I've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a Dreadlock Holiday
And I say
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don't you walk thru her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru her words
'Cause you ain't heard her out yet

Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
We would stay there ’till her sister rang the evening bell
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
Say you will come again tomorrow
Jamaica Say You Will~written by Jackson Browne, but I like the Tom Rush version better

Now they may take away your job
Take your fancy car
They may repossess your clothes, take that fine guitar
They may take everything you own
Well that's just for today
As long as you've got a song in your heart
Tomorrow's gonna be O.K.

Because Elvis gave 'em cars
You think I'm cheap
And you're hard done by
Look-you live here like a star
Rent free suite
Big blue pool that you sun by
Trips to tropic shores
Clothes from fancy stores
You want too much
You want too badly
You want everything for nothing

There was a problem the solution a problem again
The other side set on laissez faire
A crack in the image another form to amend
If a tree fell in the forest would anyone care?
And then it was over and done that's it
And then it was over and done that's it

man i'm losing sound and sight
of all those who can tell me wrong from right
when all things beautiful and bright
sink in the night
yet there's still something in my heart
that can find a way
to make a start
to turn up the signal
wipe out the noise
wipe out the noise
wipe out the noise
you know that's it
you know that's it
you know that's it...

You were my first thought
First thought in the morning
Just like the last time
You were mine that night
I just can't get away
From this holiday in my heart
When we are apart
I'll send a message to your heart

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take...

A butterfly that flaps its wings
Affecting almost everything
The more I hear the orchestra
The more I have something to bring
And now I see you in a beautiful
And different light...
