LeviF Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 And I spent time 'neath the trestles With the punks and the dime store saints Kept faith and a switchblade tucked beneath my coat And I ran with dirty angels, slept out in the rain We were scared and tired and barely 17 And my first sin was a fear that made me old And my first sin was a fear that made me old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire proof Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be Out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) We'll be havin' some fun (Under the boardwalk) People walking above (Under the boardwalk) We'll be fallin' in love (Under the boardwalk) Yeah (boardwalk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ferguson forever Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 When this old world starts getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space On the roof, it's peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin' My '60 Cadillac was rollin' through Nebraska whinin' Doin' a hundred twenty, man the fields was bendin' over Headin' out for the mountains knowin' we was travelin' further All our fires were blazin' And the spinnin' wheels were turnin' turnin' Had my girl beside me brother brother she was burnin' burnin' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 "...Always strivin', always climbing way beyond my will Same old sensation, isolation at the top of the bill Always seeming, like I'm moving but I'm really going slow What do you do when you get to the top and there's nowhere to go Just how I get there will be anybody's guess With all the so called trappings of success Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill Too busy raisin' Cain I'm back on the street again I'm back on the top again..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind but now I see 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Early nod to St.Patrick's Day: "In Banbridge Town in the County Down One morning last July, From a boreen green came a sweet colleen And she smiled as she passed me by. She looked so sweet from her two bare feet To the sheen of her nut brown hair. Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself For to see I was really there. ..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
