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

You can't plant me in your penthouse
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.

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

ON BROADWAY
They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
They say there's always magic
In the air
But when you're walkin' down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off
And you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine
On Broadway
But lookin' at them
Just gives me the blues
How ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even
Shine your shoes?
They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home
They all say
But they're dead wrong
I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
On Broadway

"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together" "I've got some real estate here in my bag" So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies And we walked off to look for America "Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh "Michigan seems like a dream to me now" It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw I've gone to look for America Laughing on the bus Playing games with the faces She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera" "Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat" "We smoked the last one an hour ago" So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine And the moon rose over an open field "Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping I'm empty and aching and I don't know why Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America All gone to look for America another guy

A Man I'll Never Be
If I said what's on my mind
You'd turn and walk away
Disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind
So easy just to say
That everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
I can't get any stronger
I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
And hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby , light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Aouh, come on!
Come on, babe!
Yeah! come on!
Come on!
The DOORS - Light my fire

And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands

Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel, holdin' my
lover with the other: a sweet, soft, Southern thrill.
Worked hard all week; got a little jingle on a Tennessee Saturday night.
Couldn't feel better: I'm together with my Dixieland Deli...ght.
Chorus
Spend my dollar; parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight; hold her
uptight; make a little lovin', a little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh, so right: My Dixieland Delight.
Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover, redtail hawk settin' on a limb, a
chubby old groundhog, croakin' bullfrog, free as the feelin' in the wind.
Home grown country girl gonna give me a whirl on a Tennessee Saturday night.
Lucky as a seven livin' in heaven with my Dixieland Delight.Dixieland Delight

Afternoon delight
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn’t bite
But you’ve got some bait a waitin’ and I think I might try nibbling
a little afternoon delight.

sheeeesh... ok, nows I gots tah splice three together...
Ok, taking the ‘man’ from Love lies bleeding, the ‘dollar’ from Dixieland Delight, and eta’s ‘fish’ can get us back to grand unified theory of song…
A man without a woman is like a ship without a sail,
A boat without a rudder or a fish without a tail,
A man without a woman is like a wreck upon the sand,
There's only one thing worse in the universe
That's a woman without a man.
A woman without a man.
You can throw a silver dollar down upon the ground,
And it will roll, because it's round.
A woman never knows what a good man she's got,
Until she turns him down,
So listen, my honey, listen to me
I want you to understand
That as a SILVER DOLLAR goes from hand to hand
A woman goes from man to man,
A woman goes from man to man.
Jack Palmer and Clarke van Ness, 1939

No, it wasn't the Lovin' Spoonful, they did Nashville Cats. This was a real live spoof.

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

He makes it look so easy
He looks so clean
He moves like God's

He makes me thing about
All these extra moves I make
And all this herky-jerky motion
And the bag of tricks it takes

My starter won't start this mornin'
And I'm about to lose my mind
My starter won't start this mornin'
And I'm about to lose my mind
I wanna go and see my little baby
But my machine is all outa time.
I got water in my gas tank
and my battras all run down
I got water in my gas tank
and my battras all run down
If I don't see my little baby
I'm gonn' leave this lonesome town.
My starter won't start this mornin'
And my car won't do a thing
My starter won't start this mornin'
No my car won't even sing
(classic line)
I must begot some kind of bad disconnection
Somewhere in my piston ring..
My Starter Won't Start

[ingroup extension for wholegroup hugginess]My previous song was originally encountered in an earlier lifetime when hunting down the prime origins of the famous "fish on a bicycle" quotation - and the two names I used here are idents of two posters from waybackwhen, much missed but... suggested by the fish/bicycle/shanks' pony warp in my brain...[/hug]

But you ran out of gas
Down the road a piece
Then the battery went dead
And now the cable won't reach...
It's your last chance
To check under the hood
Last chance
She ain't soundin' too good,
Your last chance
To trust the man with the star
You've found the last chance Texaco

Last chance lost--
In the tyranny of a long good-bye
Last chance lost--
We talk of us with deadly earnest eyes
Last chance lost--
We talk of love in terms of sacrifice and compromise
Last chance -

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girl and a baby boy
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know man makes money to buy another man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
It's a Man's World

The light keeps comin' on,
I got water in the fuel.
My brakes are gone,
I got a left front tire throwin' tread
by tomorrow morning I could be dead -

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.

Lyingclose to you feeling your heart beating And I'm wondering what you're dreaming Wondering if it's me you're seeing Then I kiss your eyes And thank God we're together I just want to stay with you in this moment forever Forever and ever Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleepCause I'd miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do I 'd still miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Aerosmith's disgustingly earwormy I don't want to miss a thingwell you made me think of it, so why should I be the only one to suffer!?

You don't need to know my name or speak my language
You don't have to understand a word I say
You don't need to kiss my lips or be my lover
For our hearts to beat together when I play
Just get lost in the rhythm of my inner heart
Can't you hear it in the dark ?

Remember your name and address
and telephone number too
And if, someday, you lose your way
you'll kno-ow just what to do
Walk up to that kind policeman
the very first one you see
and simply say, "I've lost my way
I cannot find my street
But I know my name and address
and telephone number, too"
And he'll be kind
and help you find
the dear ones who wait for you.

Driving down the interstate
Running thirty minutes late
Singing Margaritaville and minding my own
Some foreign car driver dude with a road rage attitude
Pulled up beside me talking on his cell phone
He started yelling at me like I did something wrong
He flipped me the bird an' then he was gone
Some beach
Somewhere
There's a big umbrella casting shade over a empty chair
Palm trees are growing and warm breezes blowing
I picture myself right there
On Some beach, somewhere

Somewhere
There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.
There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with
Jim Croce

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Pink Floyd

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
running on - on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on
running on - running on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
running on - running on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind
Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
running into the sun but I'm running behind
RUNNING ON EMPTY - Jackson Browne

(chorus)
She walks through the corn leadin’ down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin’ sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox... on the run
Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
A woman tempted me down in paradise hall
This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
Like a lonely fox, boys, I need a place to hide
Oh, we’ll drink a glass of wine, boys, to purify our soul
We’ll talk about the world and the friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who have put me on before
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at the door
(chorus)
She walks through the corn leadin’ down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin’ sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox... on the run
Like A Fox

I am just a poor boy and my story’s seldom told
I’ve squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm

Tell Me Why
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sittin' on my own
Did you have to treat me oh so bad?
All I do is hang my head and moan
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me

Anthony, Anthony
Oh, he said he can't love me
But I think he can
Yes, I think he can
I told him that just before he ran
Just before he ran
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
And he's not lookin' back
He's not lookin' back
Cause he doesn't want anything I have
Or anything I am
Anthony, Anthony
Oh, he said he can't love me

No spell has been broken. No words have been spoken.
No point anymore, if she can't love me.
No hope she would do so. No dream to pursue, so
I finally know that I shall always be
In this hopeless state, and condemned to wait:
Wait for death to set me free.

Next time you see me, things won't be the same
Yes, next time you see me, things won't be the same
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only have yourself to blame
Like a true, true, sayin', all that shines is not gold
Yes, like a true, true, sayin', all that shine is not gold
And like the good book says, you've got to reap 'xactly what you sow
Well, you lied, cheated, uh-oh for so long
Well, you lied, cheated, uh-oh for so long
You're just the wrong woman, baby, another queen is on your throne
Next time you see me, things won't be the same
Yes, next time you see me, things won't be the same
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only got yourself to blame.
Next Time You See Me
__________________________Little Junior Parker (1956)
Edited because inselpeter interjected an aside and got me off track.
Unchain my heart, baby let me be
Unchain my heart 'cause you don't care about me
You've got me sewed up like a pillow case
but you're lettin my love go to waste,
So unchain my heart, Baby, set me free
Unchain my heart, baby let me go
Unchain my heart, 'cause you don't love me no more
Ev'ry time I call you on the telephone
Some fella tells me that you're not at home,
So unchain my heart, and set me free
I'm under your spell like a man in a trance
Whoa, But I know darn well, that I don't stand a chance
So unchain my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why don'tcha leave me in misery
when you don't care a bag of beans for me
So unchain my heart, oh please, please set me free
Unchain My Heart

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Ah, you'd better stop the things that you do
I ain't lying, no I ain't lying
I just can't stand it baby
The way you're always running 'round
I just can't stand it
The way you always put me down
Yeah, I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine
I put a spell on you - Nina Simone

ROUNDABOUT
I'll be the roundabout
the words will make you out and out
you spend the day
your way.
Call it morning driving
through the sound and in
and out the valley
in and around the lane
mountains come out of the sky
and they stand there one mile over
we'll be there and we'll see you
ten true summers we'll be back
and laughing too
twenty-four before my love
you'll see I'll be there with you.
The music dance and sing
they make the children really ring
I spend the day your
your way.

c'est la vie
Have your leaves all turned to brown
Will you scatter them around you
C'est la vie
Do you love
And then how am i to know
If you don't let your love show for me
C'est la vie
In the night
Do you light a lover's fire
Do the ashes of desire for you remain
Like the sea
There's a love too deep to show
Took a storm before my love flowed for you
C'est la vie
Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All i needed was a rhyme for you
C'est la vie
Do you give
Do you live from day to day
Is there no song i can play for you
C'est la vie
C'est la vie - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
edit: *loved the Nina Simone belM - had to go and fetch the disk after that earworm was driving me crazy!

Light Up
Light up everybody
Join us in this celebration
Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air
Every day's a holiday when your lips meet mine
The music's keepin' time with our love
You are here, and so am I
The weather's quite divine
So pass me round your wine, lovely one
All I need is just one hit to get me by
'Cause baby when your near I'm halfway high
Light up, everybody
Join us in this celebration
Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air.

And if it's on a lazy afternoon in summertime
And you're drinking champagne and wine
Anytime, I don't mind
And even if I've got the blues
I'm tired of paying oh so many dues
And you decide to go for a cruise
Going to grab my razor and my suitcase and my toothbrush and my overcoat and my underwear
I will be there
I Will Be There~Van Morrison

SUMMERTIME
Summertime and the livin's easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh you're daddy's rich and your mom is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don' you cry
One of these mornin's you gonna rise up singin'
Spread your wings and you'll take the sky
Until that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you
With Mommy and Daddy standin' by, hey!
Oh hush little baby, don' you cry
Hush little baby don' you cry
Hush little baby don' you cry
Hush little baby don' you cry
from Porgy and Bess

I got a sweet little angel, I love the way she spread her wings
Yes, I got a sweet little angel, I love the way she spread her wings
Yes, when she spread her wings around me, I get joy in everything
You know I asked my baby for a nickel, and she gave me a twenty dollar bill
Oh, yes, I asked my baby for a nickel, and she gave me a twenty dollar bill
Whoa, you know I asked her for a little drink of liquor, and she gave me a whiskey still.
If my baby asked to quit me, well, I believe that I would die
Yes, If mu baby wanted to quit me, I do believe I would die
'Cause, if you don't love me little angel, please tell me the reason why.

Pardon this additional post but the weird Internet setup here wouldn't allow me to include the names of the song and the artist on the page above. Strange.

I put a nickel in the telephone, dialled my baby’s number
Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Each time I tried I got a busy tone
Not my baby’s number
Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Called his uncle in Jamaica
Left a message with the baker
Even checked the number in the telephone book
Got so awfully, awfully worried
To my baby’s house I hurried
When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook
And as I walked up to my baby - then
I got my baby’s number
He was busy in the parlour doing fine
Busy kissing someone else
While I was keeping busy
Getting a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line!
from BUSY LINE (Semos & Stanton) sung in the 50s by Rose Murphy

I'm seeking someone to save my soul
Searching high when I'm low
I'm gonna start in the middle
With a cat, not a fiddle
And my notes are gonna follow soul
Oh, seeking someone to save my soul
feeling low when I'm high
I'm gonna start at the ending
Cause it's time to stop pretending
That I'm doing something with this life
That I'm doing something with my time
And I want you for my breakfast
And I want you for my lunch, oh
And when I sleep in on the weekend
I'm gonna want you for my brunch, oh
Cause you're the glory in my morning
Oh, you're the sunshine in my day
And when the whole city is snoring
We're gonna play, we're gonna play
City's cold and the country's slow
I think I'll float out to sea
And maybe find me an island
where the water meets the sky
and you will never ever hear from me
Oh, the city's cold and the country's slow
And I'm a long way from shore
And I'm a fool to be bitter
When I wise up and consider
That my girl lives practically next door
And I'm lovin' her more and more
In fact I want you for my breakfast
And I want you for my lunch, oh
And when I sleep in on the weekend
I'm gonna want you for my brunch
Cause you're the glory in my morning
Oh, you're the sunshine in my day
And when the whole city is snoring
We're gonna play, we're gonna play
We're gonna play, we're gonna play
And get things started right today
We're gonna play, we're gonna play
And if you say, you're gonna stay
Then I might never go away
Not another day
Not another day
We're Gonna Play - Matthew Barber (I like this song - it's energetic)

Mav. I love Nina Simone. Have you heard her rendition of "Here comes the sun."? Lord but that woman had a remarkable voice.

What a day for a daydream, custom made for a daydreamin' boy!
I'm lost in a daydream, dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new mowed lawn
I've been havin' a sweet dream; been dreamin' since I woke up today
It starred me and my sweet-pea --
She's the one makes me feel this way
And even if time is passin me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the blues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for droppin' my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy ol' toad.
And you can be sure that if you're feelin' right
A daydream will last along into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years...
What a day for a daydream, custom-made for a daydreamin' boy
I'm lost in a daydream, dreamin' bout my bundle of joy
(Whistle to fade)Daydream
____________ The Lovin' Spoonfull, 1966Comment: "Me and my sweet pea" ? "A pie in the face for being a sleepy ol' toad"? Geez! Lazy hippies!

I'm too far North
'cause this cold it's killin' me
I say
I'm too far North
'cause this cold it's killin' me
I was lyin' in the bed
don't ya know it was late last night
I was lyin' in the bed
just tryin' to make it right
That's when my baby jumped up and cried
"Daddy you got that frostbite!"

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
from Lyin' Eyes by The Eagles
[Nina sidebar] mmm, I was playing that track thre times in a row, Milo! The Beatles never sounded so good as in Nina's gravelly yet innocent croon. [/sidebar]
edit: d'oh! Sorry belM and Milo - don't know how I confused two posts over this reference.

Chantilly Lace
Chantilly Lace and a pretty face and a ponytail hangin down,
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk,
They're gonna make the world go 'round.
Ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
to make me act so funny, spend my doggone money.
I feel real loose like a long necked goose,
Like a - Wa baby thats what I like!
Spoken:
Huh? Will I what? Do I what? Will I what?
Can't never tell baby? ha ha ha ha I might
But honey you know what I like.
Chantilly Lace...
Spoken:
Huh? ha ha ha Huh? Whats that?
Pick you up at eight? And dont be late? You gotta be jokin woman,
I thought you might pick me up at eight and dont be late.
It dont make no difference baby, you know what I really like!
Chantilly Lace...
Spoken:
Wooo - Ha-haha honey, you're tearin' me up on this telephone.
I swear I don't know what I'm gonna do with you,
You yap and yap and yap and yap and yap
But when you break it all down you know what I like.

What I like about you, you really know how to dance
When you go up, down, jump around, think about true romance, yeah
You're whispering in my ear
Tell me all the things that I wanna to hear, 'cause that's true
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you

See-line woman
She drink coffee
She drink tea
And then go home
See-line woman
See-line woman
Dressed in green
Wears silk stockings
With golden seams
See-line woman
See-line woman
Dressed in red
Make a man lose his head
See-line woman
See-line woman
Black dress on
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan
See-line woman
Wiggle wiggle
Turn like a cat
Wink at a man
And he wink back
(see child?)
See-line woman
Empty his pockets
And wreck his days
Make him love her
And she’ll fly away
See-line woman
(take it on out now)
Empty his pockets
And she wreck his days
And she make him love her
Then she sure fly away
She got a black dress on
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan...Nina Simone_______ See-line Woman Note: I'm with Maverick and Belmarduk in the opinion that Simone's voice reflected dark and deep feelings. I think that Simone's bewildering voice excaped from human depths best left unvisited.

[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
