Fire and Rain
Song by James Taylor Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone Susanne, the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain I seen sunny days that I thought would never end I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Won'tcha look down upon me, Jesus? Ya gotta help me make a stand You just got to see me through another day My body's achin' and my time is at hand I won't make it any other way Whoa, I've seen fire and I've seen rain Seen sunny days that I thought would never end I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Been walkin' my mind to an easy time My back turned towards the sun Lord knows, when the cold wind blows It'll turn your head around Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line To talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines In pieces on the ground Whoa, I've seen fire and I've seen rain Seen sunny days that I thought would never end I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you, baby One more time again, now Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things comin' my way this time around, now Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you Fire and rain, now |

Come Talk to Me
Peter Gabriel The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight In search of you I feel my way, through the slowest heaving night Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense I reach out through the border fence Come down, come talk to me In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief Why are you shaking like a leaf? Come on, come talk to me Ah please TALK to me Won't you please talk to me? We can unlock this misery Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can't you show me how you feel now? Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no-one there at all There's a tension pulling on your face Come on, come talk to me Won't you please talk to me? If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind? Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf, so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me I can imagine the moment Breaking out through the silence All the things that we both might say And the heart it will not be denied 'Til we're both on the same damn side All the barriers blown away I said please talk to me Won't you please come talk to me? Just like it used to be Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can you show me how you feel now? Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me I said please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind? Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me |

Land Of Confusion
Genesis I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fires still alight They're burning into the night There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go 'round Can't you see this is a land of confusion? This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh) And these are the hands we're given (Oh, oh, oh) Use them and let's start trying (Oh, oh, oh) To make it a place worth living in Ooh, Superman, where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow? The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go 'round Tell me why this is a LAND of confusion This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh) And these are the hands we're given (Oh, oh, oh) Use them and let's start trying (Oh, oh, oh) To make it a place worth living in I remember long ago Ooh, when the sun was shining Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight So long ago I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know we'll never keep Too many men, there's too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go 'round Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

The Intergalactic Laxative
Donovan I was impressed like everyone, When man began to fly, Out of earthly regions, To planets in the SKY. With total media coverage, We watched the heros land, As ceremoniously They disturbed the cosmic sand. In awe with admiration, We listened to the talk. Such pride felt they, Such joy to be Upon the moon to walk. My romantic vision shattered, when it was explained to me, Spacemen wear old diapers in which they shit and pee. Oh, the intergalactic laxative, Will get you from here to there. Relieve you and believe me, Without a worry or care. If shitting is your problem, When you're out there in the stars, Oh, the intergalactic laxative Will get you from here to Mars. They don't partake like you and I, of beefy burger mush. Their food is specially prepared To dissolve into slush. Absorbed by multi-fibers in the super diaper suit, Otherwise the slush would trickle down inside the boot. Oh, the intergalactic laxative, Will get you from here to there. Relieve you and believe me, Without a worry or care. If shitting is your problem When you're out there in the stars, Oh, the intergalactic laxative Will get you from here to Mars. You may well ask now what becomes of liquid they consume. A pipe is led from penis head to a unit in the room. The water is recirculated, filtered for re-use. In case of anti-gravity - pee gets on the loose. Oh, the intergalactic laxative, Will get you from here to there. Relieve you and believe me, Without a worry or care. If shitting is your problem When you're out there in the stars, Oh, the intergalactic laxative Will get you from here to Mars. Wherever man has conquered, on the quest for frontiers new, (Da da da da) I'm glad that he's always had to do the number one and two. It makes it all so ordinary, just like you and me, To know the greatest heroes, they had to shit and pee. The intergalactic laxative Will get you from here to there, For cosmic constipation There's none that can compare. If shitting is your problem When you're out there in the stars, Oh, the intergalactic laxative, The intergalactic laxative, The intergalactic laxative, Will get you from here to Mars. |
Comfortably Numb
Pink Floyd HELLO Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home? Come on now I hear you're feeling down Well, I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again Relax I'll need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain, you would not understand This is not how I am I have become comfortably numb I have become comfortably numb O.K. Just a little pin prick There'll be no more ah! But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on, it's time to go There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone I have become comfortably numb |
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils
It'll Shine When It Shines The old cat on the roof He could stand a little push 'Cause he's got nine good lives to live But like my Mama said You only live till your dead And you got to give and give and give There's a pebble in a pond Going on and on Making waves and tides and ripples and rain There's a leaf in the wind That don't no where to end Chasing days and waves and wishes and dreams Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates But it'll shine when it shines You might think I'm wasting time But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait Wipperwil's in the Dawn Pretty soon he'll be GONE But he's got one good song to sing But like my Daddy said It's in your heart not your head And you've got to sing and sing and sing There's a window in the wall Looking out on it all Leavin' fears and tears and troubles along There's a fire in the stove Keeping out the cold Warming wine and winters and babies and homes Seems like everyone is out looking for the sun Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates But it'll shine when it shines You might think I'm wasting time But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait Yes I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait |
Oh! Darling
The Beatles Oh! Darling, please BELIEVE me I'll never do you no harm Believe me when I tell you I'll never do you no harm Oh! Darling, if you leave me I'll never make it alone Believe me when I beg you Don't ever leave me alone When you told me you didn't need me anymore Well you know I nearly broke down and cried When you told me you didn't need me anymore Well you know I nearly broke down and died Oh! Darling, if you leave me I'll never make it alone Believe me when I beg you I'll never do you no harm, no harm When you told me you didn't need me anymore Well you know I nearly broke down and cried When you told me you didn't need me anymore Well you know I nearly broke down and cried Oh! Darling, please believe me I'll never let you down Believe me when I tell you I'll never do you no harm |
Spirit of Radio
Rush Begin the day With a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive Plays the song that’s so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood Off on your way Hit the open road There is magic at your fingers For the Spirit ever lingers Undemanding contact In your happy solitude. Invisible airwaves Crackle with life Bright antennae bristle With the energy Emotional feedback On a timeless wavelength Bearing a GIFT beyond price Almost free… All this machinery Making modern music Can still be open-hearted Not so coldly charted It’s really just a question Of your honesty One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity “For the words of the profits, Are written on the studio wall, Concert hall – Echoes with the sounds… Of salesmen.” |
I believe you're correct about the corvair.. looks like it from the rear end! |

You Don't Know How It Feels
Tom Petty Let me run with you tonight I'll take you on a moonlight ride There's someone I used to see But she don't give a damn for me But let me get to the point Let's roll another joint And turn the radio loud I'm too alone to be proud And you don't KNOW how it feels You don't know how it feels To be me People come, people go Some grow young, some grow cold I woke up in between A memory and a dream So let's get to the point Let's roll another joint And let's head on down the road There's somewhere I gotta go And you don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels To be me My old man was born to rock He's still tryin' to beat the clock Think of me what you will I've got a little space to fill So let's get to the point Let's roll another joint And let's head on down the road There's somewhere I gotta go And you don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels No, you don't know how it feels To be me You don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels No, you don't know how it feels To be me |
Pigs On The Wing (part 2)
Pink Floyd You know that I CARE what happens to you And I know that you care for me too So I don't feel alone Or the weight of the stone Now that I've found somewhere safe To bury my bone And any fool knows a dog needs a home A shelter from pigs on the wing |
Pigs on the Wing (part1)
Pink Floyd If you didn't CARE what happened to me, and I didn't care for you, we would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain, occasionally glancing up through the rain wondering which of the buggers to blame and watching for pigs on the wing. |
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman You got a fast CAR I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say his body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way source: only registered users can see external links |
Alabama
Neil Young Oh Alabama The devil fools with the best laid plan. Swing low Alabama You got spare change You got to feel strange And now the moment is all that it meant. Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders That's breaking your back. Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch And a wheel on the TRACK Oh Alabama Banjos playing through the broken glass Windows down in Alabama. See the old folks tied in white ropes Hear the banjo. Don't it take you down home? Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders That's breaking your back. Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch And a wheel on the track Oh Alabama. Can I see you and shake your hand. Make friends down in Alabama. I'm from a new land I come to you and see all this ruin What are you doing Alabama? You got the rest of the union to help you along What's going wrong? |

No More Tears
Ozzy The light in the window is a crack in the sky A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back The man in the dark will bring another attack Your mama told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers Look in the mirror, tell me, do you think your life's in danger here? No more tears No more tears No more tears No more tears Another day passes as the night closes in The red light goes on to say it's time to begin I see the man around the corner waiting, can he see me? I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here No more tears No more tears No more tears No more tears "It's just a sign of the times going forward in reverse. Still, he who laughs last is just a hand in the bush." "A hand in the bush." So now that it's over can't we just say goodbye? (Bye bye goodbye) I'd like to move on and make the most of the night Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way Your lips are so cold, I don't know what else to say I never wanted it to end this way, my love, my darling Believe me when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here No more tears No more tears No more tears No more tears "It's just a hand in the bush." "In-in the bush, in-in the bush, in-in the bush, in-in the bush, in-in the bush, in-in the bush..." |

"Locked In The Trunk Of A Car"
The Tragically Hip They don't know how old I am They found armour in my belly From the sixteenth century Conquistador, I think They don't know how old I am They found armour in my belly Passion out of machine revving tension Lashing out at machine revving tension Brushing by the machine revving tension Morning broke out the back side of a truck stop End of a line, a real rainbow likening luck stop Where you could say I became chronologically fucked up Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped off Then I found a place, it's dark and it's rotted It's a cool, sweet kind of place where the copters won't spot it And I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it However, every day I'm dumping the body It'd be better for us if you don't understand It'd be better for me if you don't understand Then I found a place, it's dark and it's rotted It's a cool, sweet kind of place where the copters won't spot it And I destroyed the map that I carefully dotted However, every day I'm dumping the body It'd be better for us if you don't understand It'd be better for us if you don't understand It'd be better for me if you don't understand Let me OUT Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out |
