Don't be the person that you came with -
Hi, dys. That Cohen number is a personal favorite of mine.
I remember you,
You're the one who said I love you, too,
I do, didn't you know.
I remember you,
You're the one who made my dreams come true,
A few kisses ago.
I remember too a distant bell
and stars that fell from way out of the blue.
When my life is through,
And the angels ask me to recall,
The thrill of it all,
Then I shall tell them I remember you.
I did that one from memory....
What's up, dys?
and I'm listening to "I'd really love to see you tonight"
Odd how songs seem to say what we can't.
The road is long with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where who knows where
If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn'y filled with gladness of love for one another
It's a long long road from which there is no return
While we're on our way to there why not share
And the load it doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
A dedication to Bobby Darin, whose life was cut short while still in creative ferment. I loved his work and the man he had evolved to.
I liked Bobby Darin a lot too. And of course, Cohen.
To osso, the dog lover:
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
I do hope that doggy's for sale
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog he won't be lonesome
And the doggy will have a good home
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
I do hope that doggy's for sale
I read in the papers there are robbers
woof woof
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggy to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishes
He can't take a goldfish for walks
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
I do hope that doggy's for sale
In honor of Old Topic Ressurection Day here on A2K, I dedicate this song to Craven and TTH:
I WILL FOLLOW HIM (Little Peggy March)
I will follow Him, follow Him wherever He may go,
And near Him, I always will be,
For nothing can keep me away, He is my destiny.
I will follow Him, ever since He touched my heart I knew,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away, away from His love.
I love Him, I love Him, I love Him,
And where He goes, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
I will follow Him, follow Him wherever He may go,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away...
I will follow Him (follow Him),
Follow Him wherever He may go,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away, away from His love...
I love Him (Oh yes, I love Him)
I'll follow (I'm gonna follow)
True love (He'll always be my true, true love)
Forever (Now until forever)
I love Him, I love Him, I love Him,
And where He goes, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow,
He'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love,
From now until forever, forever, forever...
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away, away from His love.
That is sooooooooooo funny!!!!
Do you mind if I use that on other threads? I can think of a few
And for my dad:
That's My Dad
words and music by TJ Loughran
My Dad is like no one else I have ever known
My Dad, I remember each evening when he'd come home
to see how he'd smile, and have all the while
the love that he always would show
My Dad could never have been a better friend to me
My Dad, I could turn to him no matter what would be
This friend firm and true, what one man can do
this person who's given so much
I could say "thank you" a thousand times
but I never could say it enough
Who always brings the sun home with him
That's My Dad - That's My Dad
and who always knows the right song to sing
That's My Dad - That's My Dad
stood by me when my world was shaking
held my hand when my heart was aching
He picked me up when I fell down
I could say "I love you" a thousand times
but I never could say it enough
Who always hangs the world on a string
That's My Dad - That's My Dad
Who is the one who taught so many things
That's My Dad - That's My Dad
How can you say thanks to someone
someone who means so much
touched my life so deeply
That's My Dad
The one to your dad is very sweet :-D
This one goes out to Jpin who introduced me to the Bright Eyes on his Song of the Day thread (whatever happened to it?), also to Jina, my good friend who believes in the same causes, to Mr. Right whoever that might be if such even exists, and what the hell, I also dedicate it to Myself, because, why the heck not!
JUST ANOTHER TRAVELIN' SONG
Well I'm changing all my strings
I'm gonna write another travelin' song
about all the billion highways
and the cities at the break of dawn
I guess the best that I can do now
is to pretend that I've done nothing wrong
and to dream about a train
that's gonna take me back where I belong
Well now the ocean speaks and spits
and I can hear it from the interstate
and I'm screamin' at my brother on a cellphone
he is far away
And I'm saying nothing in the past or future
ever will feel like today
until we're parking in an alley
just hoping that our **** is safe
So I go back and forth forever
All my thoughts they come in pairs
Oh I will, I won't, I doubt, I don't,
I'm not surprised but I never feel quite prepared
Now I'm hunched over a typewriter
I guess you call that paintin' in a cave
And there's a word I can't remember
and a feeling I cannot escape
And now my ashtray's overflowing
I'm still staring at a clean white page
Oh and morning's at my window
she is sending me to bed again
Well I dream the dark on the horizon
I dream the desert where the dead lay down
I dream a prostituted child touching an old man in a fast food crown
Oh yeah, I dreamt this ship was sinkin' there was people screaming all around
And I awoke to my alarm clock it was a pop song it was playin' loud
So I will find my fears and face them
or I will cower like a dog
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
I'll fight like hell to hide that I've given up
Dedicated to all the paid and unpaid "spies" on A2K:
SECRET AGENT MAN
(P.F. Sloan / S. Barri)
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
------ lead guitar ------
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Swingin' on the Riviera one day
And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Secret agent man
Harpo's Blues (I Wish I Was A Willow)
Phoebe Snow
And I could sway to the music in the wind
And I wish I was a lover
I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend
I wish I was a mountain
I'd pass boldly thru the clouds and never end
I wish I was a soft refrain
When the lights were out I'd play
and be your friend
I strut and fret my hour upon the stage
The hour is up
I have to run and hide my rage
I'm lost again
I think I'm really scared
I won't be back at all this time
And have my deepest secrets shared
I'd like to be a willow
A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain
But I'd hate to be a grown-up
And have to try to bear my life in pain
I wish I was a soft refrain
When the lights were out I'd play
and be your friend
I strut and fret my hour upon the stage
The hour is up
I have to run and hide my rage
I'm lost again
I think I'm really scared
I won't be back at all this time
And have my deepest secrets shared
I'd like to be a willow
A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain
But I'd hate to be a grown-up
And have to try to bear my life in pain

May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose
Recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens
One fine day as I was walkin' down the street
Met a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket,
In his tin cup I did drop it
And I heard him say as I made my retreat.
COURUS
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
May an elephant caress you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
I was way behind one day to catch a train
Taxi driver, "said we'll make it just the same"
But a speed cop made it with us
And as he wrote out the ticket
I stood by politely waitin' for my change.
CHORUS
Well, my laundry man is really on his toes
Found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes
When he called me, I came runnin'
Gave him back his dime for phonin'
And I heard him sayin' as I turned to go.
CHORUS
This one goes out to the drummer:
