I'm gonna crawl up to yo'window,
I'm gonna crawl up to yo' doo'.
I'm just gone keep on crawlin'
til I crawl upon yo' flo',

'cause I'm a crawlin' King snake, and I rule my den.
Don't you hang around my mate, I'm gonna use her for myself.


Crawling King Snake, -Lightning Slim.

Look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends.

--Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends; Phil Ochs

[Edit: This particular verse revfers to the Kitty Genovese stabbing in New York City.]

(Is it legal to move from window to another window? Can't remember the rules!)

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?


Eleanor Rigby
Lennon/McCartney

Clang, clang go those jail guitar doors
Bang, bang go those boots on the floor
Cry, cry for your lonely mother's son
Clang, clang go those jail guitar doors

"Jail Guitar Doors", The Clash

No, no, no, no I don't smoke it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on de floor.
No thank you please,
It only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find de door.

The No No Song, Ringo Starr

You wouldn't believe the number of times I've heard somebody say
How come some guy, some handsome prince, hasn't swept you away
But I take off on that tour bus, a different city every night
And doing what I love to do makes it hard to be a wife

"Hard to be a Husband/Hard to be a Wife"
~~Brad Paisley and Chely Wright

I'm sitting in the railway station,
Got a ticket for my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand,
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,

Paul Simon, 1965

You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore hi, byb!
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
Than to have your ham and eggs in Carolina

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina
In the morning
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her
In the morning

Carolina In the Morning

Ladies and Gentleman -the great and never late.....
-//[Elder Ray Charles]

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know,
She is my baby and she lives next do'
In the morning when the >sun< comes up,
she brings me coffee in my favorite cup.


Hallelujah, I Just Love Her So -Ray Charles
