BLZFAN4LIFE Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well the first days are the hardest days, Don't you worry any more, 'Cause when life looks like easy Street, there is danger at your door. Grateful Dead -- Uncle John's Band. I'm going to rent myself a house In the shade of the freeway I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning And go to work each day And when the evening rolls around I'll go on home and lay my body down And when the morning light comes streaming in I'll get up and do it again Amen Say it again Amen I want to know what became of the changes We waited for love to bring Were they only the fitful dreams Of some greater awakening I've been aware of the time going by They say in the end it's the wink of an eye And when the morning light comes streaming in You'll get up and do it again Amen Caught between the longing for love And the struggle for the legal tender Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring And the junk man pounds his fender Where the veterans dream of the fight Fast asleep at the traffic light And the children solemnly wait For the ice cream vendor Out into the cool of the evening Strolls the pretender He knows that all his hopes and dreams Begin and end there Ah the laughter of the lovers As they run through the night Leaving nothing for the others But to choose off and fight And tear at the world with all their might While the ships bearing their dreams Sail out of sight I'm going to find myself a girl Who can show me what laughter means And we'll fill in the missing colors In each other's paint-by-number dreams And then we'll put out dark glasses on And we'll make love until our strength is gone And when the morning light comes streaming in We'll get up and do it again Get it up again I'm going to be a happy idiot And struggle for the legal tender Where the ads take aim and lay their claim To the heart and the soul of the spender And believe in whatever may lie In those things that money can buy Thought true love could have been a contender Are you there? Say a prayer for the pretender Who started out so young and strong Only to surrender Jackson Browne -- The Pretender. You can spend all your time making money You can spend all your love making time The Eagles -- Take It To The Limit I met my old lover On the street last night She seemed so glad to see me I just smiled And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers Still crazy afler all these years Oh, still crazy after all these years Im not the kind of man Who tends to socialize I seem to lean on Old familiar ways And I aint no fool for love songs That whisper in my ears Still crazy afler all these years Oh, still crazy after all these years Four in the morning Crapped out, yawning Longing my life a--way Ill never worry Why should i? Its all gonna fade Now I sit by my window And I watch the cars I fear Ill do some damage One fine day But I would not be convicted By a jury of my peers Still crazy after all these years Oh, still crazy Still crazy Still crazy after all these years Paul Simon -- Still Crazy After All These Years. I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane. Waylon Jennings. I'll drink to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Sometimes in our lives we all have pain We all have sorrow But if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long 'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on Please swallow your pride If I have things you need to borrow For no one can fill those of your needs That you don't let show Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long 'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on If there is a load you have to bear That you can't carry I'm right up the road I'll share your load If you just call me So just call on me brother, when you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'd understand We all need somebody to lean on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSJayDee Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Last Mango in Paris - Jimmy Buffett I went down to Captain Tony's to get out of the heat When I heard a voice call out to me, 'Son, come have a seat' I had to search my memory as I looked into those eyes Our lives change like the weather but a legend never dies He said, 'I ate the last mango in Paris Took the last plane out of Saigon Took the first fast boat to China And Jimmy, there's still so much to be done' I had a third world girl in Buzios With a pistol on each hand She always kept me covered As we moved from land to land I had a damn good run on wall street With my high fashion model wife Til I woke up dry beneath the African sky Just me and my Swiss Army knife I ate the last mango in Paris Took the last plane out of Saigon Took the first fast boat to China And Jimmy there's still so much to be done We shot the breeze for hours As the sun fell from the skies And like the sun he disappeared before my very eyes It was somewhere past dark-thirty When I went back to the head I read upon the dingy wall The words the old man said He said, 'I ate the last mango in Paris Took the last plane out of Saigon Took the first fast boat to China And Jimmy, there's still so much to be done' I ate the last mango in Paris Took the last plane out of Saigon Took the first fast boat to China And Jimmy there's still so much to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 We're in trouble... No place to run now, not even Chicago... If the water keeps rising we will have to send it (and all the pollution) back into the lake! Right now we have a "reverse flow" of around +3 feet and the rain is still falling heavily! Sorry Robert... LZ... When The Levee Breaks: If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay. Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan Lord mean old levee taught me to weep and moan Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home Oh well oh well oh well. Don't it make you feel bad When you're tryin' to find your way home You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down South They go no work to do, If you don't know about Chicago. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. All last night sat on the levee and moaned, All last night sat on the levee and moaned, Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home. Going, go'n' to Chicago, Go'n' to Chicago, Sorry but I can't take you. Going down, going down now, going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The best lyrical song of all time: PETE TOWNSHEND - Slit Skirts I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were Lost in a maze I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of Divine right to the blues It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the Front page sad news. The incense burned away and the stench began to rise And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned From all this you'd imagine that there must be something learned Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts I don't ever wear no ripped shirts Can't pretend that growing older never hurts. Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants Have to be so drunk to try a new dance So afraid of every new romance Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance? Why can't we drink it up true heart romance Just need a brief new romance Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home just now. The big events of the day are passed and the late TV shows have come around. I'm number one in the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled. A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I'm unskilled. And I know that when she thinks of me, she thinks of me as him, But, unlike me, she don't work off her frustration in the gym. Recriminations fester and the past can never change A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range Once she woke with untamed lovers' face between her legs Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts Can't pretend that growing older never hurts Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants We have to be so drunk to try a new dance So afraid of every new romance Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance? Why can't we drink it up true heart romance Just need a brief new romance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
