By request: A place for Chicago FTW folks to go when they just can't get off the bus and stop Daydreaming....
@ I know...
but what could be better than this:
Whatever happened to Saturday Night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine
I used to drive around with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowing on a rock 'n' roll show
You climbed in the back seat
Really had a good time
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
My head used to swim from the perfume I smelt
My hands kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt
She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine
Get back in front, put some hair oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song
With your arms around you girl you try to sing along
You felt pretty good, woo
Really had a good time
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
OOOHHH EDDIE!!!!!
Guess where Ellen Foley is from?
@ Hump Day
Finally had to turn the heat on. 75 during the day 40 at night. Indian summer is hanging on tight. Hopefully Gramps gets to leave the hospital soon.
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going thru
They can understand.
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

@final jeopardy......
The category is obscure facts about even more obscure background singers city of origin......
The final jeopardy answer is....
This is Ellen Foley's city of origin......
What is St. Louis, Alex?
That is correct and you wagered......EVERYTHING!
Hope Gramps rallies....
Crack the Sky are very underrated as bands go.....
I see you sittin' there with nothin' on
But the T.V. set and a glass of somethin'
I think the rain has stopped but you don't care
You just sit and stare away
Old man you know it happens every day
People come and people go
I'd like to know just what you think she'd say
If she saw you now
Man I swear these are
Chorus:
Long nights
Long nights
Long nights alone
Long nights
Long nights
Long nights at home
I know you feel that you've been cheated, Dad
I can feel it too, I can feel for you
If I were crazy I would take your life
So you could go up there and join your wife
Old man you know it happens every day
People come and people go
Don't you hear me what I'm tryin' to say is
I'll take care of you
Man I know that these are
Long nights.....
@ We have a winner!
ding ding ding.
po dunk hospitals dont know how to treat sepsis, go figure.
Nothing some hardcore IV antibiotics can't treat.
Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I've got the power, and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not I'll take those
Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Keeping my mind on a better life
When happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
@night time is the right time......
Quentin Tarantino not only can make memorable movies, but the songs he finds for his soundtracks amaze me.....
hot air hangs like a dead man
from a white oak tree
people sitting on porches
thinking how things used to be
dark night
dark night
the neighborhood was changing
strangers moving in
a new boy fell for a local girl
when she made eyes at him
she was young and pretty
no stranger to other men
but doors were being locked at night
old lines were drawn again
[Chorus]
I thought things like that
didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
had been shed long ago
dark night
dark night
he took her to the outskirts
and pledged his love to her
they thought it was their secret
but someone knew where they were
he held her so close
he asked about her dreams
there was a shot from a passing car
and the young girl screamed
@ For Love
I get up in the evening, and I ain't got nothing to sayI come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
(Chorus)
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message just keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round my place
I check my look in the mirror wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere I'm just livin in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is
(Chorus)
You sit around getting older there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders come on baby the laughs on me
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you got to stay hungry hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction come on baby give me just one look
(Chorus)
You can't start a fire, sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire, worryin' about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
@I would do anything for love......
....but I won't do that....
What exactly is THAT?
Inquiring minds want to know.....
Holy Mother of God
You've got to go faster than that to get to the top.
Dirty old mountain
All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone
So you better start doing it right
better start doing it right.
You're halfway up and you're halfway down
And the pack on your back is turning you around.
Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember
You don't look back whatever you do.
Better start doing it right.
On your left and on your right
Crosses are green and crosses are blue
Your friends didn't make it through.
Out of the night and out of the dark
Into the fire and into the fight
Well that's the way the heroes go, Ho! Ho! Ho!
Through a crack in Mother Earth,
Blazing hot, the molten rock
Spills out over the land.
And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away. Hey! Hey! Hey!
If you don't want to boil as well.
B-B-Better start the dance
D-D-Do you want to dance with me.
You better start doing it right.
The music's playing, the notes are right
Put your left foot first and move into the light.
The edge of this hill is the edge of the world
And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right
better start doing it right.
You better start doing it right.
Let the dance begin.
@ "THAT"
my explanation:
femal singer: "When you raise me up will you help me down, Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town"....
..."but sooner or later you'll be screwin around"...
ML... "No i wont do that", "No, I wont do that."
"Can you tell me where my country lies?"
said the unifaun to his true love's eyes.
"It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe
- for her merchandise, he traded in his prize.
"Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd.
"Old man dies!" The note he left was signed 'Old Father Thames'
- it seems he's drowned;
selling england by the pound.
Citizens of Hope & Glory,
Time goes by - it's "the time of your life".
Easy now, sit you down.
Chewing through your Wimpey dreams,
they eat without a sound;
digesting england by the pound.
Young man says "you are what you eat" - eat well.
Old man says "you are what you wear" - wear well.
You know what you are, you don't give a damn;
bursting your belt that is your homemade sham.
The Captain leads his dance right on through the night
- join the dance...
Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould.
Follow on! Till the gold is cold.
Dancing out with the moonlit knight,
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout.
There's a fat old lady outside the saloon;
laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune.
The deck is uneven right from the start;
and all of their hands are playing apart.
The Captain leads his dance right on through the night
- join the dance...
Follow on! A Round Table-talking down we go.
You're the show!
Off we go with - You play the hobbyhorse,
I'll play the fool.
We'll tease the bull
ringing round & loud, loud & round.
Follow on! With a twist of the world we go.
Follow on! Till the gold is cold.
Dancing out with the moonlit knight,
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout.
@really??? That's what THAT is???
It's one o'clock and time for lunch,When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk.
There's always been Ethel:
"Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now."
And then Mister Lewis:
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own?"
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!
Keep them mowing blades sharp...
I know what I like, and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.
Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said:
"Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you
in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!"
But I remebered a voice from the past;
"Gambling only pays when you're winning"
- I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure.
Keep them mowing blades sharp...
I know what I like, and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk.
@ Then what is this?
in response to your lawnmower song...
I'm screaming out for help
Nobody's helping me
Fly like I'm a falcon
On a balcony in Calgary
Everything I touch I turn to gold
Like alchemists
Heart is palpitating
Eating Alpo I'm allowed to be
I'm top dog now
Top of the food chain
Opposite of Mellow
Spittin' yellow and blue flames
I'm the little goblin
And I'm probably pumped up
Dumb fucks don't even know
What's up I'm a dump truck
I'm still anonymous
I'm still an Anarchist
I'm still a man who's here
To mentally molest you mannequins
If you don't understand the match
Read the manifest
Smoke a rapper like Mr. Dizaster did to Canibus
If you don't like it change the channel
I'll dismantle any panelist and hammer him
Until he needs an ambulance
Riding through the desert on a camel wearing camo print
Ammo will go blammo
Got you covered like a laminate
It's the abominable snowman
Stick a sword through your abdominal
Like Conan
I'm a crazy artist call me Van Gogh
Son I'll bring the Anarchy
Like I'm from SAMCRO
[Hook]
(I am) I'm the lawn mower man
I'm the lawn mower man
I'm the lawn mower man
Powerfully electric
With an ongoing plan [x2]
[2nd Verse (Video version only)]
Had it all but lost it due to bad habits
Old dude still rock like Black Sabbath
Madchild bouncing back like I'm a jack rabbit
Dagnabbit, a white boy that raps savage
I'm an artifact, I'm a rhyming lord
I rip the spinal cord right out of a dinosaur
Strike, I'm a strange and deranged cobra
Chains to remain sober, the danger and pain's over
I said I'm fly like Astro Boy
Rip your fucking Face/Off like Castor Troy
I'm fat like Honey Boo Boo, I'm fucking cuckoo
I'm the little engine got caught, I go choo-choo
I play the ukulele, sing I'm proud to be Canadian
Can't help it, I'm a hyper-hyperventilating alien
[Hook]
[3rd Verse]
Yo
I guarantee that I use words nobody else has
Beating rappers up so fucking bad
I almost felt bad
Cause I am dope
It's a fact I can't help that
Slashing through these rappers
Like a motherfuckin' hellcat
Heavenly but I'm a little devil in a bat cave
Last 5 years Mighty Mouse was in a rat cage
Red dragon spitting fire until my face is warm
I spit lit gasoline and vomit agent orange
Older than a rotary phone
Mind totally blown
Silver Surfer I am moulded in chrome
Super Beast!
My testosterone is right through the roof
But I'm sober now
I'm Percocet and Vicodin proof
Super Beast!
I'm in a total zone
Take a shot of cortisone
Leap tall buildings and I bench press motor homes
Raining in my city and now and everything is turning grey
Goblin drinking from a golden goblet
By a burning tray
????I do not endorse this artist, but wow the lyrics!
@Honey BooBoo......
Read that and this came to mind......
dedicated to Sgt. Pupper
So messed up I want you here
In my room I want you here
Now we're gonna be Face-to-face
And I'll lay right down In my favorite place
And now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Well c'mon
Now I'm ready to close my eyes
And now I'm ready to close my mind
And now I'm ready to feel your hand
And lose my heart on the burning sands
And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wenna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Well c'mon
@ Iggy
that song appears on the Crow soundtrack- I love that movie and the tracks
Uh-huh, AHH HAH! OH YES~!
Treat me bad, and I'll take it
Throw your ball I'll run and chase it
Fetch you the newwwwspaper
Treat me good, I'll do you tricks
I'm in need I'll catch a fix
Love me 'til I'm in your favor
I said a dog is man's best friend!
I said a dog is girl's best friend!
Oh a fox, can be foxy
And brother wolf, he's the guy
Shootin straight through the woods and ate, grandma
But a dog is a dog
Is a dog is a dog
Unlike the wolf who'd make a widow out of grandpa
I'm liable to save a life to you baby when you're lost out in the snow
I'll be like Santa Claus, so don't be dissin
Say you sho' can use some snow
Provin dog is man's best friend
Ohh milkbones for milk y'all
Make me stick my nose in there
And see who do I smell, ahahahaha!
Oooh! Uh-huh, uh-huh, AHH HAH YEAH~!
Pat my back, pat my back
Pat my back, I'm contented
Watch my tail and I will wag it
Fetch you the newwwwspaper
Extend your hand and I will lick it
Throw the stick I'll run and get it
For just a bone I'll be forever in your favor
Just let me go in the yard!
[repeat 2X]
A dog is man's best friend
A dog is girl's best friend
And don't forget puppy love!
And remember, my bite is rough
Much worse than my bark
Ass patrol the dark, woof!
Tear the roof off!
{*long instrumental solo*}
Dog, is man's best friend, HIS BEST FRIEND!
Dog is a woman's best friend
I said dog, is man's best friend
[George Clinton]
Extend your hand and I will lick it
Toss the stick I'll run and get it
Just a bone I'll be forever in your favor
Standing dog in the yard, GUARRRD~!
[repeat 2X]
Oh we keep turnin ya on, keep turnin ya on
We, keep turnin ya on
Hey hey, OWWWWWWWWWW!
@who let the dogs out?
Me and my arrowStraighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It's me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Taking the high road
Wherever we go, everyone knows
It's me and my arrow
And in the morning when I wake up
She may be gone, I don't know
And we make up just to break up
I'll carry on, oh yes I will
Me and my arrow
(do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It's me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
A dying cubs fan's last request
By the shore's of old Lake MichiganWhere the "hawk wind" blows so cold
An old Cub fan lay dying
In his midnight hour that tolled
Round his bed, his friends all gathered
They knew his time was short
And on his head they put this bright blue cap
From his all-time favorite sport
He told them, "Its late and its getting dark in here"
And I know its time to go
But before I leave the line-up
Boys, there's just one thing I'd like to know
Do they still play the blues in Chicago
When baseball season rolls around
When the snow melts away,
Do the Cubbies still play
In their ivy-covered burial ground
When I was a boy they were my pride and joy
But now they only bring fatigue
To the home of the brave
The land of the free
And the doormat of the National League
Told his friends "You know the law of averages says:
Anything will happen that can"
That's what it says
"But the last time the Cubs won a National League pennant
Was the year we dropped the bomb on Japan"
The Cubs made me a criminal
Sent me down a wayward path
They stole my youth from me
(that's the truth)
I'd forsake my teachers
To go sit in the bleachers
In flagrant truancy
and then one thing led to another
and soon I'd discovered alcohol, gambling, dope
football, hockey, lacrosse, tennis
But what do you expect,
When you raise up a young boy's hopes
And then just crush 'em like so many paper beer cups.
Year after year after year
after year, after year, after year, after year, after year
'Til those hopes are just so much popcorn
for the pigeons beneath the 'L' tracks to eat
He said, "You know I'll never see Wrigley Field, anymore before my eternal rest
So if you have your pencils and your score cards ready,
and I'll read you my last request
He said, "Give me a double header funeral in Wrigley Field
On some sunny weekend day (no lights)
Have the organ play the "National Anthem"
and then a little 'na, na, na, na, hey hey, hey, Goodbye'
Make six bullpen pitchers, carry my coffin
and six ground keepers clear my path
Have the umpires bark me out at every base
In all their holy wrath
Its a beautiful day for a funeral, Hey Ernie lets play two!
Somebody go get Jack Brickhouse to come back,
and conduct just one more interview
Have the Cubbies run right out into the middle of the field,
Have Keith Moreland drop a routine fly
Give everybody two bags of peanuts and a frosty malt
And I'll be ready to die
Build a big fire on home plate out of your Louisville Sluggers baseball bats,
And toss my coffin in
Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow
From the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind
When my last remains go flying over the left-field wall
Will bid the bleacher bums ad?eu
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue
The dying man's friends told him to cut it out
They said stop it that's an awful shame
He whispered, "Don't Cry, we'll meet by and by near the Heavenly Hall of Fame
He said, "I've got season's tickets to watch the Angels now,
So its just what I'm going to do
He said, "but you the living, you're stuck here with the Cubs,
So its me that feels sorry for you!"
And he said, "Ahh Play, play that lonesome losers tune,
That's the one I like the best"
And he closed his eyes, and slipped away
What we got is the Dying Cub Fan's Last Request
And here it is
Do they still play the blues in Chicago
When baseball season rolls around
When the snow melts away,
Do the Cubbies still play
In their ivy-covered burial ground
When I was a boy they were my pride and joy
But now they only bring fatigue
To the home of the brave
The land of the free
And the doormat of the National League
@ Lets hear it for the Mets!
Better luck next time Cubbies!
I’m a man on fire
Walking through your street
With one guitar
And two dancing feet
Only one desire
That’s left in me
I want the whole damn world
To come dance with me
Ohhhhhhhh
Come dance with me
Over murder and pain
Come and set you free
Over heartache and shame
I wanna see our bodies burning like the old big sun
I wanna know what we’ve been learning and learning from
Everybody want safety (safety love)
Everybody want comfort (comfort love)
Everybody want certain (certain love)
Everybody but me
I’m a man on fire
Walking down your street
With one guitar

Only one desire
That’s left in me
I want the whole damn world
To come and dance with me
(bah bah bah bah bah…)
Yay, yay. Come dance with me
Over heartache and rage
Come set us free
Over panic and strange
I wanna see our bodies burning like the old big sun
I wanna know what we’ve been learning and learning from
Everybody want romance (romance love)
Everybody want safety (safety love)
Everybody want comfort (comfort love)
Everybody but me
I’m a man on fire (he’s a man on fire)

To come and dance with me (come and dance with me yeahhhhh…)
@Murphy's curse.....
Heard it for the first time during last nights playoff game, thought it was superstitious bunk.....it's not....felt so bad for the Cubs, not that I was rooting for them, being a New Yorker and having grown up with the Mets in my backyard. The way they lost, the errors and the bad luck.....really wish the series would have gone 7. Oh well.....condolences to those diehards.....it was uncomfortable watching last nights game....
on a lighter note.....just heard the Ramones on the radio.....their entire studio discography, 14 albums can be played sequentially in under 8 hours.....
1 2 3 4
Do you wanna dance and hold my hand?
Tell me baby I'm your lover man
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance
Well do you wanna dance under the moonlight?
Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
Well do you wanna dance under the moonlight?
Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you wanna dance
@ Back to the Future II was wrong...
But how strange that it was the same matchup and same day...
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'
Underneath the starry sky?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'?
Just the moon and you and I, just the moon and you and I
Moonlight dancin', moonlight dancin'
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of late night romance
Underneath the starry sky?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of late night romance?
Just the moon and you and I, just the moon and you and I
Moonlight dancin', moonlight dancin'
Oh, nobody's gonna be there oh, so don't you wanna go where
We could dance across the sky leave the world behind us?
Nothin' that we couldn't do yeah, we could dance across the sky
Leave the world behind us just the moon and me and you
Just the moon and me and you
We could hide inside the rhythm 'til the morning finds us
Share a little ecstasy yeah, we could hide inside the rhythm
'Til the morning finds us if you come away with me
I'll show you how it feels to be moonlight dancin', moonlight dancin'
Oh, you gonna sail the wind
Oh, so don't you wanna begin?
Moonlight dancing, moonlight dancing
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'?
Just the moon and you and I
Moonlight dancin, moonlight dancing
Moonlight, moonlight, moonlight
@Marty McFly.....
never trusted the guy........
also learned to never bet on the Cubs....they are the Buffalo Bills of baseball....said disgustedly, being a Bills fan......
Crazy Janey and her mission man
Were back in the alley tradin' hands
'Long came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man
All duded up for Saturday night
Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes
And said, "Anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake?
It's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of rosé so let's try it
We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe
And I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go
They're build like light
And they dance like spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night)
Oh, you don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night)
Stand up right now and let them shoot through you"
Well now, Wild Billy was a crazy cat
And he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap
He said, "Trust some of this, it'll show you where you're at
Or at least it'll help you really feel it"
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake
I had my head out the window and Janey's fingers were in the cake
I think I really dug her 'cause I was too loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt." She said, "Honey, let me heal it"
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right, like only a lonely angel can
She felt so nice
Just as soft as a spirit in the night (all night), in the night (all night)
Janey don't know what she do to you
Spirit in the night (all night), in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let her shoot through me
Now, the night was bright and the stars threw light
On Billy and Davy dancin' in the moonlight
They were down near the water in a stone mud fight
Killer Joe gone passed out on the lawn
Well now, Hazy Davy got really hurt
He ran into the lake in just his socks and his shirt
Me and Crazy Janey was makin' love in the dirt
Singin' our birthday songs
Janey said it was time to go
So we closed our eyes and said goodbye to Gypsy Angel Row
Felt so right
Together we moved like spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night)...
@ Hot Tub Time Machine
In the night, in the darknessLove can grow or love will die
Such a strange situation
Thought I heard somebody cry
I found love, inspiration
We had time so much to share
Came the night, came the darkness
I reached out and she wasn't there
There's a voice in the night
Cryin' in the night
Can't you hear it?
Can't you hear it?
There's a voice in the night
Cryin' in the night
Can't you hear it?
Can't you hear it?
Can't you hear?
So much pain, persecution
Disillusion and despair
I think I need some consolation
I think I need, think I need someone to care
All my dreams are gone forever
I feel them fade and drift away
Now I cry, cry, cry in the darkness
Can't you hear what I'm tryin' to say?
There's a voice in the night
Cryin' in the night
Can't you hear it?
Can't you hear it?
There's a voice in the night
Cryin' in the night
Can't you hear it?
Can't you hear it?
Can't you hear?
You tell yourself, don't be lonely, don't be scared
And everything will be alright
But the darkness comes and then you hear
All those voices in the night, in the night
A time will come when you are lonely
When you get scared and too weak to fight
Then you will cry, cry, cry in the darkness
And you'll be just another voice out in the night
There's a voice in the night
Cryin' in the night
Can't you hear it?
Can't you hear it?
There's a voice in the night
Cryin' in the night
Can't you hear it?
Can't you hear it?
There's a voice cryin' in the night
There's a voice cryin' in the night
In the night, in the night

[On the CB.]Breaker, one-nine, this here's the Duck again. You got a copy on me Pig Pen, c'mon? Ah, negatory, Pig Pen, there ain't no way out 'cept for that one Atlantic Ocean. Now listen, drop them hogs off in Omaha and get over here in a short, 'cause it definitely looks like we got us a problem.
Bears to the left; bears to the right
We didn't have no place to go.
They had us backed up clean to the shore,
And them cab-over Petes don't float.
I says, "Pig Pen, I got me a good idea.
Them Friends a' Jesus gonna save us!
"So praise the Lord and Mister Ford,
And follow that micra-bus, ten-four.
[Now, imagine a bunch of rowdy pirates -- the buccaneer type, not software -- chanting the Chorus.]
[Chorus]
Yo ho ho, and a thousand trucks
Gonna take a bath with a Rubber Duck
Yo ho ho, and a lots a' luck
'Round the world with the Rubber Ducky!
Yeah, we drove on the water like diesel whales
Sank about a hunnert-and-ten of 'em
I says, "Pig Pen, they just didn't have no faith
"They definitely gone ten-seven."
By the time we got into that Piccadilly Town,
'Bout half of 'em was lost at sea
I says, "Break one-nine for a ten-thirty-three"
What we got was the cotton-pickin' BBC
[Spoken, in a sorta British accent]
I say, Fabersham. Looks likes the Americans have got themselves another bloody Convoy.
[Chorus]
Yo ho ho, and a thousand trucks
Gonna take a bath with a Rubber Duck
Yo ho ho, and a lots a' luck
'Round the world with the Rubber Ducky!
[Spoken, in the same sorta British accent]
Good heavens! Look at them all! Half of them are sinking in the Thames! Hello! Some of our truck chaps are assisting them. Good show, actually. Oh, well, ten-four and all that rubbish.
Well, we crossed that Channel like snakes on glass
And stormed the beach about dawn
I says, "Grab your shifters and punch 13
"We all goin' truckin' on the Autobahn.
"Now, Pig Pen, this here's the ultimate slab
"'Cause there goes a Mercedes truck."
He says, "Break one-three for the Strudel Machine
"Ya just blew the doors off'n the Duck. How 'bout it?"
[Spoken, in a sorta German accent. A really bad German accent.]
Oh, zehn-vier, Rubber Duck. Ve are receiving you vall-to-vall, but the schpeed limit on za Autobahn is triple-nickels. You travel too schlow, Rubber Duck. We gonna see you around. We gone. Wiedersehen.
[If you know the song, then you can skip this note. If you don't, then a bit of explanation is necessary. During the next verse, the chorus (the singers, not the words) is heard in the background. What they're singing is what's printed in the tiny little letters. No, I am not making this up. That's what they're singing.]
Well, we stopped for a coffee in West Berlin
Dumb, dumb, dumb. This is
The British had hundred-mile tea
dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
I says, "Pig Pen, from here on it's wall-to-wall bears."
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb,
Says, "Bash the Wall; we gonna see."
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
Well, them big red bears must'a been in the bush
Dumb, dumb, dumb. This is
'Cause we didn't see a one all day
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb,
So we raked up the leaves and we shook out the tree
Dumb, dumb, dumb. This is
'Til they finally had something to say
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
You got it..
[Spoken in a bad Russian accent. A really bad... you know the rest.]
Comrade Duck: you have been given until daybreak in Murmansk to get your cotton-pickin' trucks out of the U. S. S. of R. You will copy!
[That 'dumb' chorus continues.]
Well, we shot them rigs through salt-mine city
Dumb, dumb
With a hammer and a sickle on down
Dumb, dumb
Then we hit the fan through the Sea of Japan
Dumb, dumb
Tooled into Transistor Town
Dumb, dumb
I says, "Pig Pen, this here must be the place,
Dumb, dumb
"'Cause everybody's eatin' with sticks."
Dumb, dumb
He says, "Ten-Four, this here is CB land
Dumb, dumb
"'Cause my channel knob just went crick."
Dumb, dumb
[Spoken in a really bad Japanese (fill in the blank)]
Ah so, Lubba Duck. You have a nice day today, betta day tomollow. We catch you on frip-frop. This one Kamikaze Ozzie; we gone. Sayonara.
[Chorus]
Yo ho ho, and a thousand trucks
Gonna take a bath with a Lubba Duck
Yo ho ho, and a rots a' ruck
'Round the world with a Lubba Ducky!
[Obviously, poritical collectness hadn't yet permeated the U. S. of A. :)]
[On the CB.]
Ah, ten-four, Pig Pen, what's your twenty? Australia? Mercy sakes, ain't nothin' down there but Tasmanian devils and them Q-alla bears. What's that? No double-nickel limit? We gonna be there in a short, Pig Pen. This here's the Rubber Duck, ten-ten and doin' it to it like Pruitt used'ta do it to it. We gone. 'Bye-'bye.

I got a pig at home in a pen
Corn to feed him on
All I need's a pretty little girl
To feed I'm when I'm gone
Going up on a mountain
To sow a little cane
Raise a barrel of sorghum
Sweet little Liza Jane
Black clouds arising
Sure sign of rain
Put that old gray bonnet
On little Liza Jane
Yonder comes that gal of mine
How do you think I know
Know her by that gingham gown
Hanging down so low
Bake them biscuits baby
Bake em good and brown
When you get them biscuits baked
We're Alabama bound
@ Bama
Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma and Pa
Not the way that I do love you
Well, holy moly me oh my
You’re the apple of my eye
Girl, I've never loved one like you
Man, oh, man, you're my best friend
I scream it to the nothingness
There ain't nothing that I need
Well, hot and heavy pumpkin pie
Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
Ain't nothing please me more than you
[Chorus:]
Home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
La la la la
Take me home
Mama, I'm coming home
I'll follow you into the park,
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I've never loved one like you
Moats and boats, and waterfalls,
Alleyways, and payphone calls
I been everywhere with you (that's true)
Laugh until we think we'll die,
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you
And in the streets you run afree,
Like it's only you and me,
Geez, you're something to see.
[Chorus]
La la la la
Take me home
Mama, I'm coming home
‒ Jade?
‒ Alexander?
‒ Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
‒ I sure do‒you came jumping out after me.
‒ Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, and you were bleeding all over the place, and I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
‒ Yes, I do.
‒ Well, there's something I never told you about that night.
‒ What didn't you tell me?
‒ Well, while you were sitting in the back seat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you 'til just now!
[Chorus]
Home, let me come home,
Home is wherever I'm with you
Our home, yes, I am home,
Home is when I’m alone with you
Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my Ma and Pa
Moats and boats, and waterfalls,
Alleyways, and payphone calls
Home is when I'm alone with you!
Home is when I’m alone with you
@they call Alabama the crimson tide ......
The most sampled and quoted song by our motley crue......but it fits here...btw Edward Sharpe is not too shabby....
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight... say good night
Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home - she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time
Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be... where I'll be
Hi yo
We drift in and out
Hi yo
Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home and,
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head
Ah ooh
@ Roll Tide
Naive Melody- musical perfection, what else can be said?
This next song, I wish I could've remembered the other day for songs regarding not remembering.
Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off a light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
So take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
'Cause I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
Take that look of worry, mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
And I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
But I don't remember
Take, take me home.
I've had the Edward Sharpe song in my head the past two days! moats and Boats and waterfalls, alleyways and payphone calls
@roll me easy.....
I'd lay my head on the railroad tracksAnd wait for the Double "E"
But the railroad don't run no more
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
I ain't naming names
She really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
(Well, I met a girl from the Vieux Carre`
Down in Yokahama
She picked me up and she throwed me down
I said, "Please don't hurt me, Mama")

@ Friday Fun
Nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hideI got nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide
It's not love, I'm running from
It's the heartaches, I know will come
'Cause I know, you're no good for me
But you've become a part of me
Everywhere I go, your face I see
Every step I take, you take with me, yeah
Nowhere to run, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me, now
But free of you I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you
When I look in the mirror and comb my hair
I see your face just a-smiling there
Nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me
But free of you, I'll never be
How can I fight a lover that's sugar sweet
When it's so deep, so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high, you can't get over it
So wide, you can't get around, no
Nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me
But free of you I'll never be
Nowhere to run to, baby nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run
@TGIF indeed
saw Paul McCartney last night, final night of tour....lived up to the hype....8pm a 30 minute Beatles slide show on big screen, 8:30 pm prompt show started and didn't end til 11:31pm, 43 songs later....if nothing else I got to see a Beatle up close and live. Setlist was diverse with 4 or so new tunes from 2012 album.....
5 man band all who could sing well, supported Sir Pauls upper register deficits, but hell at 73....amazing performance.....standout numbers....Let Me Roll It, Lovely Rita, Benefit of Mr. Kite, Hi Hi Hi and a tear jerking Something played on ukelale tribute to George.....Golden Slumbers medley finished it off....Show was in my all time top 10 live shows.....up there with a couple of Dead shows, Floyds DSOTM, Metheny, Sinatra with the Rat Pack and Rickie Lee Jones....
Better than the Stones and Eagles this year hands down....while It wasn't FTW it was every bit as good to me....could you imagine if the Beatles stayed together just a bit longer and toured Abbey Road?
but I digress....
As I walk along, I wonder
A-what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
@ Sir Paul
I'm happy for your show experience. Sounds like an amazing time. Live music can't be beat, especially from an icon like Paul. May he live long and tour much.
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 - running 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
@gotta keep on running....
Oh,Once upon a midnight dreary
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
Yeah, humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
And shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
Hey baby let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Tra la la la la bombardier this is the pilot speaking
And I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full
Yeah, I will drink it and always be full
Oh I like coffee, and I like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay
So be that way, I hope and pray
That there's something left to say...
For you, now
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Oh, yeah, now
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
@ Run Run Run
I took a plane around the world, Trying to loose her memory
But every where that I touched down
I found it waiting there for me
You can't run from love, there's just no place
In this world you can hide
You can, t run from love,
When it's looking for you all you can do is
Give up.
Sail across the seven sea's
Climb apon the mountian high
Build a wall around your heart
It's going to find you every single time
You can travel in a time machine,
Disapear without a trace
It won't matter where you go
It's going to find you any place
You can travel in a time machine,
Disapear without a trace
It won't matter where you go
It's going to find you any place.
You can't run from love there's just no place
In this world you can hide
You can't run from love ooooo
You can't run from love there's just no place
In this world cause I've tried
You can't run from love ooooooo
You can't run from love (fade out
@the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch....
I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot I used to stay out till the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it,
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely , till I found you
You can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one (is a strong one)
People talkin' about is
they got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down we will
still come through
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run
You know I don't understand why you don't
treat yourself better
do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby,
couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?
Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
I know we can take it
if our love is a strong one
(is a strong one)
Well, we're scared, but we ain't shakin'
Kinda bent, but we ain't breakin'
in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run
in the long run
in the long run, [etc.]
@ the winner loses all
Run, run, run, run [repeat line four times] You better make your face up in
Your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door
You better run
Run, run, run, run [repeat line four times]
You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside. And if your
Takin' your girlfriend
Out tonight
You better park the car
Well out of sight
'Cos if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box
You better run
@a win win situation.....
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat downI had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway......(foreshadowing earlier)
I was flyin'
Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
I felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was un-stoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine
I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine
@ Mr. Petty
good choice.
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm living at a pace that kills
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody waiting at home
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
You know I, I found the simple life, weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody waiting at home
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
[repeat and fade]
@the Devils in the details......
Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zoneOnly a crowd can make you feel so alone
And it really hit home
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
Well here's another goodbye to another good friend
After all is said and done
Gotta move while it's still fun
Let me walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I gotta move, it's still fun
I'm gonna walk before they make me run
Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well
After all is said and done
I gotta move I had my fun
Let us walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I did alright, I had my fun
I will walk before they make me run
@ See Spot Run...
Everybody wants to know where Jimmy has gone He left town, I doubt if he's coming back home
Well Tony got a job, three kids and a lovely wife
Working at the commerce bank for the rest of his life
[Chorus:]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend
Go someplace and start all over again
Don't know where I'm going, like a gypsy out on the road
I'll go someplace and join a traveling show
[Chorus:]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
I think Jimmy must have had the right idea
Packed his stuff and he got right out of here
I don't know where he's at but I'm sure that he's ok
Now I realize what Jimmy was trying to say
[Chorus:]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Do you get Svengoolie in NY?
@Dick and Jane....and Spot......
Yes Svengoolie is a staple here......
Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one nice again,
Like you, mama
You, mama...
You...
If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here
(if we ever get out of here)
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there,
"I hope you're having fun."
Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man,
And sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run.
For the band on the run, band on the run.
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man,
And sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run.
Yeah, the band on the run
The band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run
Well, the night was falling
As the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found
@Run Dick Run
Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end ah little girl
Well I know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end ah little girl
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end ah little girl
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or you won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end ah little girl
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah (fade out)
Dracula on Svengoolie tomorrow
Have a great weekend All!
@ Halloween Week is Magical!
Cold late night so long ago When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
I'm a magic man."
Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Summer over passed to fall
Tried to realized it all
Mama says she's a worried
Growing up in a hurry
"Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet my girl should be at home!"
"But try to understand, try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man, mama
He's a magic man"
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you a woman from a child!
But try to understand, try to understand
I'm a magic man!"
@Magic Monday.....poof....up in smoke....
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heartHow the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, gonna free her soul
It's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it all starts with a smile
You won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, it all blows your mind
If you believe in magic, come along with me
And we'll dance until morning baby just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll see you tomorrow, late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me
Yeah, do you believe in magic
Believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of a rock and roll
Believe in the magic gonna set you free
Aaahhh, yea, heah
Do you believe in magic, yeah
Do you believe like I I II believe
Now do you believe like I believe in magic
Do you believe like I believe in magic
Do you believe like I believe in magic
@ Nice Avatar
pass it this way...
Oh, ho, ho
It's magic you know
Never believe, it's not sot
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Lazy day in bed
Music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light
I love my sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light
I had my pants off in the morning LALALALLALLLAA
Oh, ho, ho
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so
@Humphrey Bogart.....
I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machineOn a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
@ Must be the season of the witch
had to cut out early yesterday.
You've heard the story of Minnie The Moocher
She was a red hot hoochie coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
Now Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
She messed around with a bloke named smokey
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down, down to China Town
And he showed her how to kick the gong around
He was down in China Town
All the cokeys layed around
Some were high, some were mighty low
There were millions on the floor
Knocking at the door
And there stood old Smokey Joe
He was sweatin', cold and pale
He was lookin' for his frail
He was broke, and all his jokes ran out
Nobody made a sound
As he stood and looked around
And then you hear old Smokey shout
Tell me, where's my Minnie?
My poor Minnie
Has she been here kickin' the gong around?
If you don't know Minnie
Oh, she's soft and she's pretty
She gets her pleasures kickin' the gong around
A hidee hidee hidee hi, a hodi hodi hodi ho
You didn't see me climb through that window
Nobody saw me come through that door
I just walked right through the wall
And I want you once [sic] and all
To settle back and let me have the floor
Now take a look, 'cause I'm not some stranger
I'm the face that all you cokeys oughta' know
Well, you can tell me I'm not wanted
But the joint will still be haunted
'Cause I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe
Do you remember when I kicked the bucket
In my mansion up on Striver's Row?
Well, they carried me off in a zillion dollar coffin
Yeah, I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe
Tell me, do you remember Minnie?
(Yes, we remember Minnie)
That frail I never found
(You never recognize your Minnie)
You mean to say that Minnie
Stopped kickin' the gong around?
I've got a date on my estate down in Hades
Call my chariot so I can go
And should the moocher walk in
Just tell her you've been talkin'
To the ghost of Smokey Joe
And should the moocher walk in
Just tell her you've been talkin'
To the ghost of Smokey Joe
And should the moocher walk in
Just tell her you've been talkin'
Zabadayandawayhow zaoo
Smokey Joe
@whatchu talkin' bout Willis....who you callin' ho?
Hi De HoHi De Hi
Gonna Get me
A piece of the pie
Gonna get me
Some of that Old Sweet Roll
Singin' Hi de hi de hi de hi de Hooooo
I've been down so low
Bottom looked like up
Once I thought that seconds saves
Was enough to fill my cup
So I proffered all I got
But it ain't no way to live
Being taken by the ones who got
The least amount to give
Hi de ho
Hi de hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singing hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.
[Instrumental interlude]
Once I met the devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods
Said -you can have your pick-
But when he laid that paper on me
And he showed me where to sign
I said thank you very kindly
But I'm in too good-a mood to mind
Hi de ho
Hi de hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.
Hi de ho
Hi de hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hoooo
[Repeat to fade]
@ ain't no ho...
...fo sho.
No clue how to follow the last track so here we go...
Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
"Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl..."
But every night I burn
But every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
"Oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
"Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do..."
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end
"Just paint your face" the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired..."
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream
Dream the crow black dream...
