When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doing it for some dolls
When you spot a John waiting out in the rain
Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane.

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.

Hey hey, my my,
Rock'n'roll will never die.
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away...

It's been a slow turnin' from the inside out
A slow turnin' but you come about

Slow learnin' but you learn to sway
A slow turnin' baby not fade away

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you


It's been a while - Staind

Hold up your head and don't let yo' conscience get you down.
'cause if you never lie to me, I'll always
be hanging around-
I'm not gonna let you down.


Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide -Sonny Boy Williamson

I want to tell you something, Junior,
I'm gonna tell you something that will make you see.
I only got two eyes and I offer you one,
Now don't you think well of me?

You are woman, I am man
You are smaller so I can be taller than
You are softer to the touch
It's a feeling I like feeling very much

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you
to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

A flower grows . . .

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
A candle glows . . .

Where I'd heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn't play.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And as I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone

One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer

(spoken) Hey there's Charlie. Hey Charlie! Man am I glad to see you. Look Charlie, I want another drink, you know when I got money I always buy you a drink. Look at me, I'm shaking like a leaf. At least you could stand me for a ten-cent shot. You will? Man you're looking good to me!

Thank You, thank you, thank you, Big Mary.
Thank you for what you done for me.
You'd be my woman, if you hadn't gone back to your use ta be.

The day she died, the neighbours came to snicker
Well, that's what comes of too much pills and liquor
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
She was the happiest corpse I'd ever seen

And I remember how you held me the night my father died
I didn't have to tell you I just broke down and cried
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye

Sometimes a bottle of perfume
flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought louise 10 cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
And everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women like Louise they get by

[last 3 posts: "corpse", "died", and "cried"... sheesh!]

What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

As long as I
Have you
Though there be rain
And darkness too
I'll not complain
I'll see it through

Louise, The sweetest girl I'll ever know.
I'd walk from Chicago,
to the gulf of Mexico.
You know the night time is the right time,
to be with the one you love, you know when night comes Baby,
God knows, you so far away, Louise...

Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain,
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end,
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
But I always thought I'd see you, baby, one more time again.

I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
