A woman
Of perplexity
A woman
For eternity
A woman
Of the land
A woman
For a man
I'm down
On my knees
And I'm saying
Please believe me
-SHE WAS WAITIN' FOR HER MOTHER AT THE STATION IN TORINO AND YOU
KNOW I LOVE YOU BABY BUT IT'S GETTING TOO HEAVY TO LAUGH (L) (c. 1970) -Shawn Phillips

I write this song in memory
of a woman that I knew
she loved me much and I loved her
but then she never knew
and I was forced to go away
there was nothing I could say
I had to leave that very day
for almost two years or more
and now she's gone and I am left
with memories of her breast
and days of life and nights of love
and all the wondrous rest
I shan't forget
and the effect
it isn't even finished yet
it started 'fore we'd barely met
ten long years ago
yesterday
For Her- Shawn Phillips

THIS MAGIC MOMENT
This magic moment
So fifferent and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer night
Everything I wanna have
Whenever I hold you tight
Jay and the Americans

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'...
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fifferents in the deep blue sea Sorry, Helen, I couldn't resist!
Joy to you and me
JOY TO THE WORLD

There was a jolly Milum once
Lived on the river Dee;
He work'd, and sung, from morn till night,
No Lark more blythe than he.
And this the burden of his song,
For ever us'd to be,
"I care for nobody, not I,
If no one cares for me."
-- Issac Bickerstaffe, Love in a Village (a very successful opera of 1762)

My Baby Just Cares For Me
my baby don't care for shows
my baby don't care for clothes
my baby just cares for me
my baby don't care for silks and laces
my baby don't care for high tone places
Clark Gable is not her style
or even Durante's smile
she's sensible as can be
my baby don't care who knows it
my baby just cares for me
I wonder what's wrong with baby
she just cares for me

CHANTILLY LACE
AND A PRETTY FACE
AND A PONY TAIL HANGIN` DOWN,
WIGGLE IN HER WALK
AND A GIGGLE IN HER TALK,
MAKES THE WORLD GO `ROUND
AIN`T NOTHIN` IN THIS WORLD
LIKE A BIG EYED GIRL
TO MAKE ME ACT SO FUNNY,
MAKE ME SPEND MY MONEY,
MAKE ME FEEL REAL LOOSE
LIKE A LONG NECKED GOOSE,
LIKE A GIRL.
(spoken:)
OH, BABY, THAT`SA WHAT I LIKE.

You know the landlord rang my front doorbell,
I let it ring for a long, long, spell,
I peeped through the window and pulled back the blinds,
I said, wont you tell me what is on your mind?
He said "Money Honey" Doo wap de die,
If you want to get along with me.
Well I screamed and I hollered I was so hard pressed,
I called the woman that I loved best,
I finally got my Baby 'bout half passed three
She said, wont you tell me why you calling me?
I said "Money Honey" Do wap de die
If you want to get along with me.

This truly great song with well-crafted, highly imaginative, poignantly poetic lyric merits a pasting in its remarkable ripeness. Right?
One morning when I was out shopping
Though you'll find it hard to believe
A little blue man came out of the crowd
And timidly tugged at my sleeve
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits
I hurried back to my apartment
I rushed in and I closed the door
But there on my desk stood the little blue man
Who started to tell me once more
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits
For weeks after that I was haunted
Though no one could see him but me
Right by my side was the little blue man
Wherever I happened to be
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits
One evening in wild desperation
I rushed to a rooftop in town
And over the side pushed the little blue man
Who sang to me on the way down
"I wuuuuv youuuu!"
I whispered, "Thank goodness that's over!"
I smiled as I hurried outside
But there on the street stood the little blue man
Who said with a tear in his eye
"I don't wuv you anymore."
The Little Blue Man

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no!
My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment but I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type that was most inclined
When out of his sight to be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts, no more ifs or ands or buts
Oh no!
They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happenin', I knew I was a genius
What's so strange when you know that you're a wizard at three?
I knew that this was meant to be
Well I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night
My parents got frantic, didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy?
I may have been only three but I was swingin'
They all laughed at Al Graham Bell
They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand
The litany and the logic that went on in my head?
I had a brain, it was insane
Don't you let them laugh at me
When I refused to ride on all those double decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top
My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no!
My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
But I said "Dear doctor, I think that it's you instead
'Cause I have got a thing that's unique and new
It proves that I'll have the last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head... I got two
And you know two heads are better than one"

They laughed at me, wanting you.
Said I was reaching for the moon.
But oh, you came through.
Now they'll have to change their tune.
They all said we never would be happy.
Darling, let's take a bow.
But ho, ho, ho.
Who's got the last laugh now?

It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand

WO'N day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe's CafeJust sitting digging on the scene at Smokey Joe's CafeA chick came walking through the door, That I had never seen before At least I'd never seen her down at Smokey Joe's CafeAnd I started shaking -when she sat right down next to me. Her knees were almost touching mine at smokey Joe's CafeA chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's CafeI could smell her sweet perfume she looked at me my heart went Boom And everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's CafeSaid: Man be careful- that chick belongs to Smokey Joe!Then from behind the counter out stepped a man A chef's hat on his head, a knife in his hand He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout... You better eat up all your beans boy and clear right on out Well I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's CafeAnd so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's CafeI'd rather eat my Chili beans at Jims or Jacks or Johns or Jeans, Than take my chances on the scene at Smokey Joe's Cafe. I risked my life - at Smokey Joe's that crazy fool. SMOKEY JOE"S CAFE-The Robins(who later became) The Coasters( I'm so smart. I remembered all the words.)

COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
In a little café just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to that man, José
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
Performed by Jay and the Americans

Uranium money
Is booming in the old home town now
It's putting up sleek concrete
Tearing the old landmarks down now
Paving over brave little parks
Ripping off Indian land again
How long--how long
Short sighted business men
Ah, nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing--
"You give your love, so sweetly"
One more time

And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I'll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found
Elton John, "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters"

Streets of London
Ralph McTell
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely by his side,
yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
How can you tell me you're lonely
And say, for you, that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old gal who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talkin, she just keeps right on walkin
Carryin her home in two carrier bags
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour and he goes home alone
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading like the ribbons that he wears
In our winter city, the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care
(do you know this as a blue/rap? a ballad? not at all?
i learned it as a ballad, as did my daughter, in the early 90's it was done as a rap song, and her friends were all surprized at its previous existance.)

Tell a tale of married men
of simple shells and curried zen
falling through the world of when
today
serpent coils and hydrofoils
you don't believe what he does with oils
speaking words that he said once
yesterday

Let me tell ya little story bout a man named Jed
The poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin for some food
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude
Oil, that is, Texas tea.
The Beverly Hillbillies song.
(an American televison show from my youth)

We are made of sunbeams
we are made of molten glass
we can light the fire of living
we can learn with an ugly past
we can roar into the future
like a bull with battered brains
and it's a mighty thin line
'tween livin' and dyin
and all these stupid games
and it all depends on if you use your mind
BELIEVE IN LIFE - Shawn Phillips again, I know, but he uses such great words

I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

Get outta my dreams, get in the back seat baby
Get into my car, (get in yeah)
Get outta my mind
(Get outta my mind)
Get into my life (get in yeah)
Oh I said hey! you! get into my car
Lady driver, let me take the wheel
Smooth operator, touch my bumber
Hey let's make a deal, make it real
Like a road runner, coming after you
Just like a hero, outta the blue
I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle, I'm your man

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. “And, hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy. ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the momeraths outgrabe. Lewis Carroll -- Jabberwocky AnnaS & Keiva: Might as well get the whole thing...Must add this version: The Jabberwocky Spellchecked by Modern Technology Teas broiling and the silty tomes Did gyrate and gamble in the wave All misery were the boroughs And the mime rashes outraged. "Beware the Jabberer, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch Beware the jujitsu bird and shun The furious bantering." He took his viracity sword in hand: Long time the maximal foe he sought So rested he by the tom-tom tree And stood awhile in thought. And as in Irish thought he stood, The Jabberer, with eyes of flame Came waffling through the Tulsa wood And burbled as it came. One two, One Two! And through and through The voracity blade went snicker snack! He left it dead and with its head He went glamoring back. "And hats thou slain the Jabberer! Come to my arms, my bleakish boy! O farmhouse day! Calculi! Canary! He chortled in his joy. Teas broiling and the silty tomes Did gyrate and gamble in the wave All misery were the boroughs And the mime rashes outraged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Lotus version) Twas bridling and the slight toes Did gyre and gimlet in the wade All mimes were the boroughs And the modem rats outgrew. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (MS Word version) Twas brisling, and the smithy toes Did gyre and gamble in the wade: All missy were the borogroves, And the mom rates outgrabe. [Edit] I've been reminded that this (the original) is known as a poem, not a song. True, and by rights it would be placed more appropriately in the Poetry thread. However, <rimshot> a cursory study reveals that it has been set to music at least four times.  st

Looka there honey o-o-e, looka there honey, mercy me.
Looka there honey o-o-e, way over there by the peacher tree.
Now I love yo peaches, they so mellow and fine,
When if we start lovin',
Every now and then they run across my mind.
Looka there honey, o-o-e, looka there baby, mercy me,
Way over there by the peacher tree.

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
...
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
What's Going On

Look at the widow,
Bloody great cow,
Isn't grand boys, to be bloody well dead?
Lets not have a wimper, lets have a bloody great cry,
and always remember the longer you live,
the sooner you bloody well die!
Look at the preacher,
Bloody great hypocrite,
Isn't grand boys to be bloody well dead? (etc)
irish traditional
sung to a lively, cheerful tune, like all great irish songs about death!)

Hey lady--you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh Darling... walk a while with me
You've got so much...
Many have I loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.
Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.
Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.
Over The Hills And Far Away -Led Zepplin

To dream the impossible dream,
to fight the unbeatable foe,
to bear with unbearable sorrow,
to run where the brave dare not go...

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
"I Have a Dream", ABBA

Follow every rainbow, til you find your dream!

And though I'm still as pure as mountain snow...
You can tell my uncle here and now
'Cause he's my agent anyhow
But don't tell Mama what you know
