Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
My words but a whisper -- your deafness a shout.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink.
So you ride yourselves over the fields and
You make all your animal deals and
Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
The tidal destruction
The moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers
The newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
Your suntan does rapidly peel and
Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.

And the love that I feel is so far away:
I'm a bad dream that I just had today -- and you
Shake your head and
Say it's a shame.

Precious time is slipping away
But you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away

It doesn't matter what route you take
Sooner or later the hearts going to break
No rhyme or reason, no master plan
No Nirvana, no promised land

Because, precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away

Say que sera, whatever will be
But then I keep on searching for immortality
She's so beautiful but she's going to die some day
Everything in life just passes away

But, precious time is slipping away
You know she's only queen for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away

Well this world is cruel with its twists and turns
Well the fire's still in me and the passion burns
I love a medley 'til the day I die
'Til hell freezes over and the rivers run dry

Precious time is slipping away
You know she's only queen for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray because
Precious time is slipping away

Precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away

Precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray because
Precious time is slipping away

My coffee is cold
It's sittin' there on the stove
My juice and my toast are there too
My heart's in a shambles
I can't eat my scrambles
My eggs don't taste the same without you

Now if you'll only come back
I'll even dig your damn cat
I'll let you wear your curlers, too
I could do very nicely
With your once over lightly
My eggs don't taste the same without you

I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter,
And make believe it came from you.
I'm gonna write words oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off of my feet,
A lot of kisses on the bottom,
I'll be glad I got 'em.


I'm gonna smile and say,
"I hope you're feeling better,"
And close with love, the way that you do.
I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter,
And make believe it came from you.

lol, George. The saxophone player in our band used to love that line "kisses on the bottom" he was and still is a brat. What was so risque then is so ho hum today.

Never liked out of tune Boone, but I can't resist the following:




Love Letters In The Sand

On a day like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand


How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand


You made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you


Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand


Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

...working nutso hours to get a system delivered according to a brain-dead schedule...

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
We're gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.

Well get out of that bed,
wash your face and hands
Get out of that bed,
wash your face and hands
Well get in that kitchen
Make some noise with the pots and pans
I believe it to my soul
you're the devil in nylon hose
I believe it to my soul
you're the devil in nylon hose
For the harder I work
the faster my money goes

Well I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul

Shake rattle and roll

I'm like the one-eyed cat
peeping in a seafood store
I'm like the one-eyed cat
peeping in a seafood store
Well I can look at you tell
you ain't no child no more
I believe you're doing me wrong and now I know
I believe you're doing me wrong and now I know
'Cause the harder I work
the faster my money goes

Well I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul

Play it again!

I went over the hill, way down underneath
I went over the hill, way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes
And then you make me grit my teeth

Well I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul

From memory:

When I fall in love,
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love.

In a restless world like this is,
Love is ended before it's begun.
And too many moonlight kisses,
Start to fade in the warmth of the sun.

When I give my heart,
It will be completely,
Or I'll never fall in love.
And the moment I can feel,
That you feel that way, too.
Is when I fall in love with you.

Jeri Southern

"Leaving on my mind" written by Rusty Goodman shortly before his death.


This old house I've been living in, is needing some repair

The windows and the shutters are letting in the cold, cold air

I say to myself, I'm going to fix them, when I can get the time

But all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind.


Lately all I've got is leaving on my mind

It seems that's all I've been thinking about, most all the time

Soon and very soon I'll leave my troubles far behind

Cause all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind




I guess I ought to be looking for a better place to live

But I just can't get excited about the world and what it can give

I wouldn't care if I could buy it all with a solitary dime,

For what would this world's goods do me,

With leaving on my mind

cho.

As am I, Bi. but regardless of how weary we become, we've gotta walk that lonesome valley by ourselves. Hey, the preachers and teachers weren't all bad..just the ones who used the temple for making money. Hey, here's a bargain..You cheer me up and I'll cheer you up.

Hmm... i guess if I was having a REALLY GOOD day......



The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it.
I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok. it's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, plan b looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candle light
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can meand my teddy
Come in to sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok. it's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be

Just another day
Well, it's friday. you're late
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise

Must be time for a second chance
I can't escape this basement flat
Got writer's cramp and claustrophobia

Must be time for a better place
My sink leaks and the rats have won the race
Over and over

What can I do
There must be some solution

Must be time for a new idea
Pack up my things and get away from here
They're never gonna trace me
People upstairs make so much noise
Drive me mad with their electrical toys
Louder and louder

What can I do
There must be some solution
What can I do
There must be some solution
What can I do
There must be some solution

When the sun goes down o'er Dublin town
The colors last for hours, oh
The lights come on, the night's a song
And the streets all turn to gold.

A gentle mist all heaven kissed
Like teardrops off an angel's wing
Don't you know you'll cleanse your soul
With a walk in the Irish rain.

Cho: Oh, Katherine, take my hand
I've got three pounds and change
And I'll sing you songs of love again
And when I get too drunk to sing
We'll walk in the Irish rain.

Forever more I've stepped ashore
My sailing days are over, oh
Through time and tide and by your side
Together we'll grow old.

I threw my sea bag in the bin
And brought these pretty flowers home
Kiss me Kate, we'll celebrate
Before the bloom is gone.

A tinker and a tailor and a drunken old sailor
They all get together and they start to play
Time stands still while they sing their fill
They'll shout 'til the break of day.

A sweet little lady with a glass of stout
Sippin' it down 'til the foam runs out
She'll help her old man home again
With a walk in the Irish rain.

PDiddie, Why am I not surprised.

IF I SHOULD LOSE YOU Lyrics
NINA SIMONE
If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the skies
If I should lose you
The leaves would wither and die

The birds in Maytime
Would sing a lonely refrain
And I would wander around
Hating the sound of rain

With you beside me
No wind in winter would blow
With you beside me
A rose would bloom in the snow

I gave you my love
But I was living a dream
And living would seem in vain
If I lost you
