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

She's a brick----house
Mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick----house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact,
ain't holding nothing back.

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

"Now That I Found You"

Look over yonder what do you see
The sun is a-risin' most definitely
A new day is comin' people are changin'
Ain't it beautiful crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready gonna see the light
Love, love is the answer and that's all right
So don't you give up now so easy to find
Just look to your soul and open your mind

I want you,
I need you,
But there ain't no way, I'm ever gonna love you
So don't be sad,
cause two outta three ain't bad.
No don't be sad,
cause tow outta three ain't bad.

Get outta my car, and in to my dreams.
We didn't drive far
till I found out your schemes.

You know I only wanted to have a good time
You wanted one hundred dollars, I didn't have but ninty-nine


So get outta my car, and back into my dreams.

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.

Green Day, "Good Riddance(Time of Your Life)"
