@we have a winner....
we opened this forum March 21st, 2015 and have achieved 4000 posts, thanks to the last of the Mohicans....quite a Little Feat.....
Let's go backwards down the number line....nahhh that sounds a bit too Phishy to me.....
(ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one)
We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell.
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown.
The final countdown
Oh!
We're heading for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us (seen us)
And welcome us all, yeah.
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
It's the final countdown...
The final count down [2x]
The final count down
Oh!
It's the final count down
The final count down [2x]
It's the final count down
We're leaving together
The final count down
We'll all miss her so.
It's the final count down.
Oh!
It's the final count down.
@ Everything Counts In Large Amounts
Gotta keep on floating down the river...
Division is confusion
It can drive you up a wall
Like any good illusion
It ain't anything at all
One was always fine before
We figured out how to get one more
Now it's another and another
Still we ain't got nothing at all
Let me tell you somethin'
Every thing is one thing, honey
Every thing's been done
There ain't nothin' new under the sun
It adds up to one, it all adds up
The lines we draw between things
But there's a wall around my heart
Talk to climb the big things
And still I don't know where to start
Fallen angel?s making plans
Breaking deals and shaking hands
Build it up and you hope that it stands
Out further and further apart
Let me tell you somethin'
Every thing is one thing, honey
Every thing's been done
There ain't nothin' new under the sun
It adds up to one, it all adds up
It all adds up, it all adds up
It all adds up, it all adds up
Every thing is one thing, honey
Every thing's been done
There ain't nothin' new under the sun
It adds up to one, it all adds
Every thing is one thing, honey
Every thing's been done
There ain't nothin' new under the sun
It adds up to one, it all adds up
It all adds up, it all adds up
It all adds up, it all adds up
It all adds up, it all adds up
It all adds up, it all adds up
It all adds up, it all adds up
@keep it moving......
Rock-a-bye baby If you wanna dance
Grab yourself a body
And take a chance
Said one time around
Is all you get
I'm still dancin'
So you lost your bet
I got a hardcore mama
With a hot hoochie coo
Make my wheels start spinnin'
Like a formula two
Got one for the money
Two for the show
Three for my honey
And four to let you know that I...

Threw out my pipe

Got a squeaky clean body
And a dirty mind
I'm a real fine dancer
I'll be cuttin' the rug
Got a brand new baby
She's my brand new drug
I got one for the money
Two for the show
Three for my honey
And four to let you know that I...

Ain't got no trouble in my life No foolish dream to make me cry
I'm never frightened or worried
You know I always get by.
I heat up
I cool down
Something gets in my way I go around it
Don't let life get me down
Gonna take it the way that I found it
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
You say that life is a circle
But that ain't the way that I found it
Oh...Gonna move in a straight line
Keeping my feet firmly on the ground
I heat up
I cool down
I got words in my head so I sing them
Don't let life get me down
I can't hold onto the blues so I play them
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
@there's trouble in River City.....
never thought I'd bring this one out....After all Harold Hill was the Music Man.....
Well, a woman who'll kiss on the very first date
Is usually a hussy
And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out
Is anything but fussy
But a woman who'll wait till the third time around
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground
She's the girl you're glad you found
She's your shipoopi
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi
The girl who's hard to get
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi
But you can win her yet
Walk her once just to raise the curtain
Then you walk around twice and make for certain
Once more in the flower garden
She will never get sore if you beg her pardon
Do re me fa so la si
Do si la sol fa mi re do
Squeeze her once, when she isn't lookin'
If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin'
Once more for a pepper-upper
She will never get sore on her way to supper
Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do
Now little ol' Sal was a no-gal
As anyone could see
Lookit her now - she's a go-gal
Who only goes for me
Squeeze her once, when she isn't lookin'
If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin'
Once more for a pepper-upper
She will never get sore on her way to supper
Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi
The girl who's hard to get
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi
But you can win her yet
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi
The girl who's hard to get
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi
But you can win her yet, shipoopi
@ Shapoopi
Ah ha ha ha ha
Life could be a dream....

You talk too much, you talk too muchI can't believe the things that you say everyday

You keep on talking baby drive me out of my mind
You talk too much
I can't believe the things that you say everyday
If you keep on talking baby
You know you're bound to drive me away
Well I laid out in the afternoon I start to nappin'
You walk into the room with them jaws a-flappin'
You keep that motormouth moving morning, noon and night
You keep on talking baby make my head turn white
You talk too much
I can't believe the things that you say everyday
If you keep on talking baby
You know you're bound just to drive me away
I think you're trying to put me through some kind of test
I'm begging you baby won't you give it a rest
You talk about people that you don't even know
Keep it up baby I'm gonna pick up and blow
You talk too much
I can't believe the things that you say everyday
If you keep on talking baby
You know you're bound to drive me away
Don't get me wrong baby I don't mean to complain
But if you keep on talking you're gonna drive me insane
You keep on talking all around the clock
I'm begging you baby won't you please stop
You talk too much
I can't believe the things that you say everyday
If you keep on talking baby
You know you're bound to drive me away
Have a great weekend....and a safe hike....
@ Talk Talk
You know I never I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do
You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you
[Chorus]
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
Till I'm screaming for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you
[Chorus]
C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me
have a good one, talk at 'cha later...
weather is going to be perfect for hiking!

Here comes the doctor in charge
Woahoho

Ain't that the way you like it?
Ho, ha!

I wrestle, with your conscience
You wrestle, with your partner
Sittin' on a window sill, but he
Spends time behind closed doors
Check out Mr. Businessman

On the way to the stock exchange

Happy hour in 20 minutes kids....
hey everyone
Hi rich and holly and everyone else. feelin' alright. it is a fine north Texas afternoon...the cold front is moving through. down to 95 today, only high 80s yesterday. that IS an August cold front here.somethin' funny happened in chicago...I took my bro-in-law who doubles as one of my best friends, to the july 3 concert. anyway, he always sort of liked the dead but hadn't seen them since a concert long ago and really lost interest. always liked the studio classics but not really a fan..ANYWAY...he is now streaming the Friday night show 2-3 times a week. He tells me "I finally get it, and they're quitting, why didn't you MAKE me go to shows with you?". just goes to show to show once again, the things you regret the most are the things you don't do. I don't have the heart to tell him that, as GRATE as Trey did and he may actually be better technically then JG, he ain't Jerry. I'm still basking in it. Have a great weekend and thanks for the beer tip. I will search for it.
@there will never be another......
You hit the nail on the head, Chicago was great, Santa Clara was great, Trey was proficient....but he is not, never was and never will be Jerry....
That my friend is a good thing.....I am a Daydreaming Deadhead and I miss Jerry.....
Have a great weekend, enjoy the heat.....
OK.....Holly called it, post #4020 will shut this bad boy down....
Til then....
Nothing left to do but smile, Smile, SMILE.....
work so busy but I will be at
work so busy but I will be at ny for dead and company if anyone else is going to be there
post 4019....
it's been a fun trip....
This ones Deadicated to us.....
They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
Mortatone is in town
Here comes Mayor Klangstone and Mad Swan Disease...
His custom amps got them in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in their pants
And Oat Willie and Pam who says hi are restless
They need somewhere to go
As Pupper and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row.
Katniss, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles :-)
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Tom Hanlon style....nice hat brah!
And in comes Devil's Friend, he's moaning
"You belong to Me I Believe"
And Totem says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Stanley sweeping up tonight
On Desolation Row.
Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
Holly and OzarkMatt
Have even taken all their camping gear inside
All except for Cain74 and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is either making love
Or else expecting rain
And Bob Loblaw, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row.
Now StellaMoon, she's 'neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Jerry's great rainbow
ASL just spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row.
Boo469 disguised as Kurt009
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk and kids in tow...
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
You would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row.
rrrrgrrrr, he keeps his world
Inside of a coffee cup
But all his sexless patients
They're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row.
Across the street they've nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the pic-a-nic
geophantomoftheoperameister
In a perfect image of a priest
They're spoonfeeding Bobby69
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And Graceful is shouting to skinny girls
"Get outa here if you don't know"
Tfonts is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row.
At midnight all the Dreamers.....
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row.
Praise be to Gobs black Licorice
Ba dus sails at dawn
Spascarella's shouting
"Which side are you on ?"
And Miller's horse and mkav
Fighting in the captain's tower
While Geeky just laughs at them
And Roadking just holds flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row.
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
About the time the door knob broke
When you asked me how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke ?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, we're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Dont send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them from....
the Sunshine Daydreamers subforum....
@ Monday Daydreaming
Hello lovely people! We have among us a poet and didn't know it.
Thanks, rrrrgrrrr for that thoughtful piece, including all of us merry pranksters. Makes me a bit verklempt...
As for a new thread....I dont think we need it...thoughts?
The page loads fine for me still and I would hate to leave all the other thoughts and memories from this forum behind.
Geoits420somewheremeister had the honors of post 4020...but it doesn't have to stop there...
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
@natural born Eastman....
....c'mon pretty mama let's get on the road again....

Kassie Jones Parts 1 and 2
I woke up this mornin', four o'clock
Mister Casey told his fireman get his boiler hot
Put on your water, put on your coal
Put your head out the window, see my drivers roll
See my driver roll
Put your head out the window, see my driver roll
Lord, some people said Mister Casey couldn't run
Let me just tell you what Mister Casey done
He left Memphis, it was quarter to nine
Got in Newport News, it was dinnertime
It was dinnertime
Got in Newport News, it was dinnertime
I've sold my gin, I've sold it straight
Police run me to my woman's gate
She come to the door, she nod her head
She made me welcome to the foldin' bed
To the foldin' bed
Made me welcome to the foldin' bed
Lord, the people said to Casey, "You're runnin' over time"
"You'll havin’ a collision with the one-o-nine"
Casey said, "This engine's mine
I'll run it in close just to make my time"
Said to all the passengers, "Better keep yourself hid
Natural' gon shake it like Chainey did
Like Chainey did
I’m natural' gon' shake it like Chainey did"
Mister Casey run his engine in [a miles of place]
Number four stabbed him in the face
The depot told Casey, "Well, you must leave town"
"Believe to my soul I'm Alabama bound"
"Alabama bound"
"Believe to my soul I'm Alabama bound"
Missus Casey said she dreamt a dream
The night she bought her sewin' machine
The needle got broke, she could not sew
She loved Mister Casey, 'cause she told me so
Told me so
Loved Mister Casey, 'cause she told me so
There was a woman named Miss Alice Fry
Said, "I'm gonna ride with Mister Casey 'fore I die"
I ain't good looking but I takes my time
A rambling woman with a rambling mind
Got a rambling mind
Casey looked at his water, water was low
Looked at his watch, his watch was slow
On the road again
Natural born eastman on the road again
Lord, there's people tell by the throttle moan
The man at the fire's Mister Casey Jones
Mister Casey Jones
Mister Casey said, before he died
One more road that he wants to ride
People tells Casey, "Which road is he?"
"The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
Santa Fe"
This mornin' I heard someone was dyin'
Missus Casey's children on the doorstep cryin'
“Mama, mama, I can't keep from cryin'
Papa got killed on the Southern line
On the Southern line
Papa got killed on the Southern line”
"Mama, mama, how can it be
Killed my father on the first degree"
"Children, children, won’t you hold your breath
Draw another pension from your father's death
From your father's death"
On the road again
I'm a natural born eastman on the road again
Tuesday mornin', it looked like rain
Around the curve came a passenger train
Under the boiler lay Mister Casey Jones
Good old engineer, but he's dead and gone
Dead and gone
On the road again
I'm a natural born eastman on the road again
I left Memphis to spread the news
Memphis women don't wear no shoes
Had it written in the back of my shirt
Natural born eastman don't have to work
Don't have to work
I'm a natural born eastman, don't have to work
Okay, Marye...I'll say it...
Maybe Rich and Holly ought to have their own dueling song lyric thread and then the SD'ers can chime in every now and then :-)
Love to all !!
@ so, like....
...this is sounding like the ol song and dance routine...which has always been an intricate part of the Grateful Dead scene.
Sometimes I quickly scroll through the lyrics, sometimes I slow down and read them...either way, I'd rather not have to change buses to do that...
I vote we keep it all together in one thread. We can sing, talk, dance, and otherwise entertain ourselves very nicely here....now, about that quick brown fox and the lazy dog...
geothreedotjournalismrocksmeister
@ Geomeister
I second your notion! Or emotion...
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey's worse than none at all
Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Ooh
Maybe you think that love would tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh little girl
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Oh little girl, In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Oh, little girl
I second that emotion
[FADES] - Ooh little girl I second that emotion
@which one's Pink?
Hey now, Miami and I have been in the back seat of bis dus since Chicago, we kinda like it here.....know the territory, enjoy the company and the laughs....
I agree, the lyric thing is often scrolled but the creative interplay and spontaneity can't be beat.....if the consensus is we get a sub forum, so be it, but she and I might just as well get a room and hop off at the next station.....either way......
ein zwei drei
So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!
time for a nap.....
move over Sarge......
Just "hello"
Just wanted to say hello and connected to my fellow SD's! Hello!
@kurt009.....
Hey there brother......
Keep missing you on chat....hope all is well in the Midwest....heat broke here big time...feels like Fall....
keep on truckin'.....
@ Hey Kurt
nice of you to say hello!
The weather here in STL is fantastic!
Breezy and in the low 80's.
Where in the midwest do you hail from?
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin',
[CHORUS:]
Doo, doo, doo, Lookin' out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.
[CHORUS]
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.
[CHORUS]
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.
[CHORUS]
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows
@geography....
Think he may be closer to here.....
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
I wish I had you, to talk to
If a man ever needed dying he did
No one had a right to say what he said about you
And it's so cold and lonely here without you
Out there the law is coming
I've been so tired of running
[Chorus]
It hurts to see the man that I've become
To know I'll never see the morning sunshine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face or touch your hand
If just once more I could see
You, our home and our little baby
I hope this letter finds it's way to you
Forgive me love for the shame I've put you through and all the tears
Hang on love to the memories of those happy years
Red lights are flashing around me
Good Lord it looks like they found me
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there (This is the police. You are surrounded. Give yourself up)
@ Closer to the Heart
What part of the Midwest is close to Da Buff?
Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street
in the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody's going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool's advice
And take care of your own
One day they're here;
Next day they're gone
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
"Baby, I've changed. Please come back."
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there's somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
You can get out of the rain
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
@get closer....?
Sorry this is the most romantically relevant geographic song I could find......
Actually, nah.....just makes me laugh.....
You can find me in St. Louie
Where the gunplay ring all day
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Others just smoke an' fuck all day
You can find me in St. Louie
Where the gunplay ring all day
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Others just smoke an' fuck all day
I'm from the home of the Red Fox, Ced the Entertainer
Jettin' off with Brian Cox, I'll see ya later
Maybe not 'cuz I got somethin' hot in the Navigator
Waitin' in the parkin' lot
A Bad Boy, in a Ryde Ruff-er than The LOX
I keep 'em both cocked, Nina an' Sabrina
Now tell me boys have ya seen her, have you seen her?
Nine millimeter makin' niggas believers
Hop out the two seater in a Vokal wife beater
Levi's fresh from the cleaners
Heavy starch with the cuff Like fuck it, 'Leave It To Beaver'
Catch me in the Galleria, Plaza of Chesterfield
Rollin' down Hanley Hills in a black Sedan Deville
I used to love it when hit me for a rocker
Maybe a bopper, I kept it proper
A non-stopper, around the clock-a
Now it's cool to pull up the Benz an' helicopter
You can find me in St. Louie
Where the gunplay ring all day
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Others just smoke an' fuck all day
You can find me in St. Louie
Where the gunplay ring all day
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Others just smoke an' fuck all day
Sunday mornin, crack of dawn an' I'm yawnin'
Natural bridge an' Kings Highway is where I'm goin'
Wake up, man an' start blowin', gotta get those juices flowin'
Now I'm gonna tell ya one more time
For you cats that just ain't knowin'
Hey, you can find me in St. Louie
In the hole with me Fetty an' Leezy, gettin' swole
Grabbin' the Optimo, sharpin' up my flows
Practicin' for my shows, that's usually how it goes
We be ready to go, the chronic already rolled
Swingin' through O'Fallon Sounds, knockin' out of control
Like a boom, boom, boom, who is it? It's Jackie Frost
The one who's gettin' where he at
An' he showed you who was the boss
I'm like a human hot sauce, thinkin' I'll burn your thoughts
Your information was false, I'll show you just what it costs
In the M I, crooked letter, crooked letter, O U R I
No one could do it better, hey
You can find me in St. Louie
Where the gunplay ring all day
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Others just smoke an' fuck all day
You can find me in St. Louie
Where the gunplay ring all day
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Others just smoke an' fuck all day
Now in the middle, we keep it crunk an' jiggy
Love 'Pac an' Biggie, the way that you love your sticky
Call Louie he have you pissy, mix with Hen an' Crissy
Bumpin' Tim an' Missy with Slim, he used to diss me
In the red Expedishy
That's okay though, she can ride for the day though
Can't even be a house guest like Kato
I'm a dog, I said it, now call me Snoopy
Wouldn't have me in a hooptie, now you see me in a Coupie
In front of Utopia, I'm hopin' ya
Come down herd chippin', man, I'm toastin' ya
Thanksgiving 'round these parts, yo, we roastin' ya
An' when the heat come down, get to ghostin' ya
Locks with us, just how he jokes with us
My daddy told me that I'm supposed to bust
Don't be provokin' us, it ain't no joke in us
Just the North, South, East, West coast an' us
You can find me in St. Louie
Where the gunplay ring all day
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Others just smoke an' fuck all day
You can find me in St. Louie
Where the gunplay ring all day
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Others just smoke an' fuck all day
You can find me in St. Louie
Some got jobs an' some sell yay
Makes me wanna take a road trip......
HAHAHAHA,,,,
@ others just smoke an' fuck all day
Well, that about sums it up!
I'm somewhere in between the Galleria and "Natural Bridge and Kingshighway"
But what about this oldie...
When Louis came home to the flat,
He hung up his coat and his hat,
He gazed all around
But no wifey he found
So he said "Where can Flossy be at"
A note on the table he spied
He read it just once then he cried
It read 'Louis dear it's toos low for me here
So I think I will go for a ride Oh
Meet me in St. Louis, Louis
Meet me at the fair,
Don't tell me the lights are shining
Any place but there
We will dance the hoochie koochie
I will be your tootsie wootsie
If you will meet me in st. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair
(Company)
Meet me in st. Louis, Louis
Meet me at the fair
Don't tell me the lights are shining
Any place but there
We will dance the hoochie koochie
I will be your tootsie wootsie
If you will meet me in St. Louis, Louis
Meet me at the fair
Road Trip indeed!
@all is Fair.....
Bruce, first played live September 2002..... Oh what a thrill....
Every year when summer comes around
They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town
You can feel somethin' happenin' in the air
Well from Carol's house up on Telegraph Hill
You can see the lights goin' up out in the soldiers' field
Gettin' ready for the county fair
County fair, county fair
Everybody in town will be there
So come on, hey, we're goin' down there
Hey little girl with the long blond hair
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
Baby down at the county fair
Now you'll be hangin' tight when we hit the top
And that rollercoaster's ready to drop
And you brag, how you wasn't even scared*
Well baby you know I just love the sound
Of the pipe organ on the merry-go-round
Baby down at the county fair**
County fair, county fair
Everybody in town will be there
So come on, we're goin', goin' down there
Hey little girl with the long blond hair
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
Baby down at the county fair
Now at the north end of the field, well they set up a stand
And they got a little Rock 'N' Roll band
The people dancin', yeah, out in the open air
Well it's James Young and the Immortal Ones
Just two guitars, baby, bass and drums
Just rockin' down at the county fair
Well county fair, county fair
Everybody in town will be there
So come on, we're goin' down there
Hey little girl with the long blond hair
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
Baby down at the county fair
Now it's gettin' late before we head back to town
We let the fortune wheel spin around
Come on mister, tell me what's waitin' out there
On my way out I steal a kiss in the dark
Hope I can remember where our car's parked
Baby at the county fair
Now off down the highway there's the last stream of cars
We sit a while in my front yard
With the radio playin' soft and low
I pull Carol close to my heart
And I lean back and stare up at the stars
Oh I wish never had to let this moment go
@ Hard act to follow
not many fair songs...per se
I'll ride the rollercoaster or the carousel
I like the Spider and the diving bell
But since she's gone I don't like so well
The ferris wheel
I'll ride the Rockoplane or the Tilterwhirl
It wasn't on these rides I lost my girl
Way up high is where I lost her
On a ferris wheel
Pretty Ferris Wheel by your colored lights
I saw someone steal her kiss from her that ni-ight
I'll pay my fair and ride the bumper cars
Those turning cars won't make the teardrops start
But way up there is where she broke my heart
On the ferris wheel
On the ferris wheel
On the ferris wheel
My hometown has a ferris wheel factory, one of just a few in the country. They made Michael Jackson's ferris wheel in his Fantasyland. Big Eli Ferris Wheel Co.
Oh really.....what about Be Bop Deluxe?
Here we come in a cloud stars in our eyesStanding up proud it's the perfect disguise
We've got so much to give, so much to gain
Just give me your money, and I'll give you my pain
It's a fair exchange (fair exchange)
Now Tia Maria, she leans on the wall
Looks in the mirror and pukes on the floor
Tries to remember the cause of it all
He just gave her a drink so she gave him a ball
It's a fair exchange (fair exchange)
But I expect you expect a lot from me
I can feel your burning need
Your greedy seedy
Fantasies are guaranteed
To make my young heart bleed
For you, and your pubescent blues, yes
You and your dancin shoes
You... And your sad glad news
About your boyfriend Stan
He's a dirty flirty man
And he'll get you if he can, look out
Here I stand in a daze axe in my hand
Another fool on the stage with a traveling band
There's a space in my heart... Permanent flame
Just give me your body and I'll give you my brain
It's a fair exchange (fair exchange)
Now Venus De Milo a statue of note
She lays in the gutter, with a knife in her throat
Naked as sin no, not even a coat
She gave you a thrill so you gave her a grope
It's a fair exchange (fair exchange)
Still, I expect you expect a lot from me
I know you all
The show goes on despite the wrong
The strong still rise
And the weak still fall
This song is up to you
All along, you never knew
This song
Is comin on through
To take you for a ride
It's tested true and tried
Even though it almost lied
And we have a merri go round manufacturing plant....go figure...
It's a fair exchange...
@ let's get down on the merry-go-round
ok, that's fair....
i'm not thinking outside the box today...
You give me that funny feeling in my tummy
Ahw sh.., yeah, that's right huh
Rollercoaster of love say what
Rollercoaster yeah (oohh oohh oohh)
Oh baby you know what I'm talking about
Rollercoaster of love

Upside down on the big dip dipper

Let me go down on the merry-go-round
All is fair 'n' a big fair ground
Let's go slow, let's go fast
Like a liquorice twist gonna whip your ass

Rollercoaster say what
I will be there for you I will be your man
@Around and around and around.....
.....so bring me back down.....
Well the times gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over god's world
You don't remember when you got your last meal
And you forgot just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock n' roll was
Until you met a drummer on a greyhound bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line
Well in the middle of the night
On the open road
And the heater don't work and it's oh-so cold
You're gettin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
The music of the street, drive you off your feet
You didn't know how rock n' roll looked
Until you caught your sister with a guy from the group
Half-way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got
Once bitten twice shy, babe
Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
All the blood on my hand and my les paul heat
I can't leave you home cos you're runnin' around
My best friend told me you're the best trick in town
You didn't know that rock n' roll burned
So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet
Once bitten twice shy, babe
I didn't know ya got a rock n' roll record
Until a saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
And look at you now, well it's dark as it's dumb
Once bitten twice shy, babe
@ My My My...
Dont look up the band...just read the lyrics. I do not condone listening to the makers of this song...
There is no hope for you and me
Cause this long drive might be [The last time I take the wheel]
You're not sure how you feel
I think the spotlight
Always gives you stage fright
Wish this song would end right
Wish that you would stop
Makin' my head spin
Over and over it's over but what if we...
If we just pretend
You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead
So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me
I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are
You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star
This isn't right you said
It takes some time you know
Let's try again tonight
This fight is getting old
I think the spotlight
Always gives you stage fright
Wish this song would end right
Wish that you would stop
Makin' my head spin
You're young but old enough to build up
Falling walls and false love
Wish this song would end
I wish this song would end
You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead
So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me
I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are
You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star
We're done tonight
We gotta pick it up slowly
Can I hear your voice
What a perfect story
Can I pick you up
You can be my star
Now the spotlight's on, move close for the final scene
You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead
So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me
I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are
You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star
You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star
You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star
good evening to you rrrgrrr...keep on truckin'!!!!!
.....not Fair....
you edited your post goddammmit....one too many m's.....
The screen door slams
Mary' dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me
You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now ?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold
Thunder Road
Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind so Mary climb in
It's town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win
Later kid.....high to Matt
I live in Indy. about 2 miles
I live in Indy. about 2 miles south of Deer Creek Music Center. Sure wish I could get something Dead related to stop on by. Maybe a summer tour! Weather here is nice! mid 70's and calm. Not looking forward to those chilly winds to blow!Cheers Mate!
@DeerCreek....
What memories....good and some not so good....especially in the end...just wanted to give liketohike a geography lesson so to speak....
Don't think Dead n Mayer will hit secondary markets, da Buff included, but we got Sir Paul MACCA in October....not too shabby....in an 18,000 seat hockey rink....not a stadium or a field.....
thanks for checking in, y'all come back now, ya hear?
Hug the kids....peace....
.....it's getting so much better all the time.....
@ Hey Folks
Good Afternoon all...It's hump day!
Children play in the park, they don't know
I'm alone in the dark, even though
Time and time again I see your face smiling inside
I'm so happy
That you love me
Life is lovely
When you're near me
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile
Living life is just a game so they say
All the games we used to play fade away
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago
Oh my darling, got to have you. Feel the magic when I hold you
Cry sweet tears of joy, touch the sky
Now I need you more than ever. No more crying - we're together
Tell me you will stay. Make me smile
@They smile at your face.....they wanna take your place...
Happy Humping Holly.....
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
@ Them Backstabbers...
chuck it in a bucket an' fuck it...
Dirty, rotten, filthy, stinkin...
