SinceThe70s Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill Oh no move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 When I was seventeen I dreamed of being king and Having everything I wanted But that was long ago and My dreams did not unfold so I'm still the king of nothing When I was seventeen I dreamed I gave a ring to A pretty queen and then I held her But that was slumber's fault for I have no love at all and I'm still the king of nothing If I could rule I'd dance my cares away Find romance every day I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say I'm the king I'm the king I'm the king of nothing If I could rule I'd dance my cares away Find romance every day I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say I'm the king I'm the king I'm the king of nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Pull me back together Or separate the skin from the bone Leave me all the pieces, and then you can leave me alone Tell me the reality is better than dream But I found out the hard way, Nothing is what it seems! I push my fingers into my eyesIt's the only thing that slowly stops the acheBut it's made of all the things I have to take Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside If the pain goes on All I've got, all I've got is insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Hopelessly passing your time in the grassland awayOnly dimly aware of a certain unease in the airYou better watch outThere may be dogs aboutI've looked over Jordan, and I have seenThings are not what they seem What do you get for pretending the danger's not realMeek and obedient you follow the leaderDown well-trodden corridors into the valley of steelWhat a surprise The look of terminal shock in your eyesNow things are really what they seemNo, this is no bad dream Edited May 30, 2019 by WhoTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Is she really going out with him? Well, there she is, let's ask her Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing? Uhm, hmm Gee, it must be great riding with him Is he picking you up after school today? Uhm, umm By the way, where'd you meet him? I met him at the candy store He turned around and smiled at me You get the picture? Yes, we see That's when I fell for the leader of the pack My folks were always putting him down (Down, down) They said, he came from the wrong side of town (What you mean when you say that he came From the wrong side of town?) They told me, he was bad, but I knew he was sad That's why I fell for the leader of the pack One day my dad said, "Find someone new" I had to tell my Jimmy, we're through (What you mean when you say that You better go find somebody new?) He stood there and asked me why, all I could do was cry I'm sorry, I hurt you, the leader of the pack He sort of smiled and kissed me good-bye The tears were beginnin' to show As he drove away on that rainy night I begged him to go slow But whether he heard, I'll never know Look out, look out Look out, look out I felt so helpless, what could I do? Rememberin' all the things we'd been through At school they all stop and stare I can't hide the tears but I don't care I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack (Gone, gone, gone, gone) The leader of the pack, now he's gone (Gone) The leader of the pack, now he's gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone) The leader of the pack, now he's gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Just about a year ago, I set out on the road Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again The man from the magazine said I was on my way Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again Mmmm If I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song I've sung And ev'ry time I've had to play while people sat there drunk You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Vid: Trib to the 173rd... Edited May 30, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I got on a public bus I paid my fare like the public does They were traveling to work, traveling to play And this is what the driver say You may be bored to the point of aggravation Excited as a lighted fuse Sick with the sight of deprivation Or you may think you've got nothing left to loose But it don't matter what you feel You can beg you can borrow or steal But as long as I'm holding the wheel I don't want no spitting on the bus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Up with the sun, gone with the wind,She always said I was lazy.Leaving my home, leaving my friends,Running when things get too crazy. Out to the road, out 'neath the stars,Feeling the breeze, passin' the cars. Women have come, women have gone,Everyone trying to cage me.Some were so sweet, I barely got free,Others, they only enraged me. Sometimes at night, I see their faces,I feel the traces they've left on my soul. Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul,I tell you, those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul. Travelin' man, love when I can, Turn loose my hand 'cause I'm goin'. Travelin' man, love when I can, But sooner or later I'm goin' on. Travelin' man, travelin' man.

PastaJoe Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I know what my people are thinking tonightAs home through the shadows they wanderEveryone smiling in secret delightThey stare at the castle and ponderWhenever the wind blows this wayYou can almost hear everyone sayI wonder what the king is doing tonight?What merriment is the king pursuing tonight?The candles at the court, they never burned as brightI wonder what the king is upto tonight?

KD in CA Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Everyone's creeping up to the money godPutting tongues where they didn't ought to beOn stepping stones of human hearts and soulsInto the land of "nothing for free" Well the way that we're livingIs all take and no givingThere's nothing to believe inThe loudest mouth will hail the new-found wayTo be king for a day Everyone's licking up to the new King PinTrying to get way up with a smileSing for your supper boy and jump to a finger clickAin't my way of living in style 'Cause the ladder gets longerAnd ambition gets strongerI can't satisfy the hungerThat bad old moon has got you in its swayTo be king for a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
