Another coincidence. I was just listening to Tex.
Dream
Dream dream dream
When I feel blue
In the night and I want you
To hold me tight
All I have to do is dream
I can make you mine
Kiss your lips of wine
Any time night or day
Only trouble is
Gee whiz
I'm dreamin my life away
I need you so that that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream dream dream
Dream, when you're feelin' blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smokerings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So dream ..............
I was riding the escalator
In the Dream Department Store
All around me things were changing
In the Dream Department Store

If you miss me at the back of the bus
Can't find me nowhere
Come on over to th front of the bus
Cause I'll be ridin right there
If you miss me at the Mississippi River
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the swimmin pool
Cause I'll be swimmin right there
If you misss me at the cotton field
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the votin booth
Cause I'll be votin right there
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles............
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in my craddle
In them old cotton fields back home.
Now, when them cotton fields get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home.
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home.
Gotta jump down spin around pick a bale of cotton
Gotta jump down spin around pick a bale a day
I saw a skeeter on my head
Blinked his eye and I killed him dead
Gotta jump down -
Little Sally jumped down Wup Wup
Little Joe jumped down Wup Wup
Little Sally jumped down Little Joe jumped down Wup Wup Wup
I don't know but I been told
A gopher don't really live in a hole (he don't?)
Gotta jump down spin around
Watch it
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the drivin' rain
But it's all right now
In fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas
I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's all right now
In fact it's a gas
But it's all right
Jumpin' Jack Flash it's a gas, gas, gas, gas
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it's all right
In fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
i dont know but i been told
streets of heaven are paved with gold
now i dont know how things could get much worse
unless the russians was to get up there first
i dont know but i been told
streets of heaven are paved with gold
now i dont know how things could get much worse
unless the russians was to get up there first
Down the street the dogs are barking and the day is getting dark
As the night comes in falling the dogs will lose their bark
As I look to to the corner the street and the sign
I'm just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind
It's a restless hungry feeling that don't mean no one no good
And everything I'm saying you can say it just as good
You were right from your side and I was right from mine
We're both just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
Dressed like a priest you was
Tod Browning's freak you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see
The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal
CHORUS
(Will they come?)
I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they come?)
Oh baby, come unto me
(Will they come?)
Well, she's come, been and gone.
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go
Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach
Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized
CHORUS
Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs (x2)
In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
(There's gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow
CHORUS
Ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs (x2)
Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow
Call them the Diamond Dogs
Dogs
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, ooo
Call them the Diamond Dogs
Keep cool
Diamond Dogs rule, OK
Hey-hey-hey-hey
Beware of the Diamond Dogs (repeat)
(I haven't read back through the thread.... hope I'm not repeating a song)
Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Paul Simon)
She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose.
Ta na na......
People say she's crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that's one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds
And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds
People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well that's one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of our shoes

I would love to tour the southland
In a traveling minstrel show
Yes, I would love to tour the southland
In a travelling minstrel show
Yes I'm dyin' to be a star
And make them laugh
sound just like a record on a phongraph
those days are gon forever
Over a along time ago
O yeah
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
No, I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
'Cuz he looks so fine upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely, he's lonely still
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Well
I jumped up on the platform
The man gave me the news
He said you must be joking son,
Where did you get those shoes?
Yeah, where did you get those shoes?
Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show
They tell me times is changin' but I just don't know
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Oh Yeah.

Well I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it, umm
Well I never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well I headed out for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles
Can you feel it
Must be real it
Feels so good
Woah it feels so good
Well I never been to heaven
But I've been to Oklahoma
Woah they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter
Woah I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it, woah
Well I never been to heaven
But I've been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter.
May You Never Be Alone, by Hiram Williams, sr (Hank Williams)
Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight
I'm alone and oh so blue tonight
Like a piece of driftwood on the sea
May you never be alone like me
I believed the lies you told to me
When you whispered Dear I worship thee
Now here am I alone and blue
All because I loved no one but you
I gave up my friends I left my home
When you promised to be mine alone
Now you're gone our love could never be
May you never be alone like me
In the Bible God's own words do say
For every wrong someday you'll pay
I pray the Lord to set me free
May you never be alone like me
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
All alone am I
Ever since your good-bye
All alone with just the beating of my heart
People all around
But I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart
All alone, I'm so all alone
There is no one else, but you
All alone, by the telephone
Waiting for a ring-a-ting-a-ling
I'm all alone, every evening
All alone, feeling blue
Wondering (I wonder) where you are
And how you are
And if you are - all alone too
