"Royal Oil"

Royal Oil, come on bubble and boil.
Stabs like a dagger, makes you stagger on the hot tin foil.
Mind your mind or it will surely spoil, then you sleep down in the soil.
Nothing comes from nothing, come on Royal Oil.

"six blade knife do anything for you
anything you want it to
one blade breaking my heart
one blade tear me apart
six blade knife do anything for you

you take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
come up from behind me you lay it down cold on my skin
took a stone from my soul when i was lame
just so you could make me tame
your six blade knife do anything for you

gotta be free of it babe - i don't want it no more
wanna be free of it now - i don't want it no more

everybody got a knife it can be just what you want it to be
a needle, a wife, something that you just can't see
you know it can keep you strong
yes and it'll do me wrong
your six blade knife do anything for you"

Money for Nothing


Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin' and chicks for free

"People see rock stars, you know what I'm sayin'? But you still try to get out
more like everybody else, you know, its a fun job, but its still a job. There's
gonna be another cat comin' out,
looking like me, sounding like me next year. I know this. It'll be a flipside
tell what you did someone trying to spin off like some circus."

You ever have big dreams? Or makin' big cream?
Big shot, heavy hitter on the mainstream
You wanna look trendy in the Bentley
Be a star band, never act friendly.
You wanna have big fame
Let me explain what happens to these stars and their big brains
First they get played like all damn day
Long as you sell everything will be ok
Then you get dissed by the media and fans
Things never stay the same way they began
I heard that some never get fooled to the fullest
That's why fools end up dining on a bullet
Think everything's fine in the big time
See me in my Lex with the chrome ray shine
So you roll far and live large
It ain't all that goes with being a rock star"

~Cypress Hill "RockSuperstar"

^_^

(i got this from the chet atkins/mark knopfler album "neck and neck", it's actually a redo of the song "there'll be some changes made"

edit: a little late, but it still works

chet: there'll be a change in the weather and a change in the scene
i'm gonna start wearing leather and change my routine
i'll wear dark glasses, maybe a toupee
i'll get down and boogie and become risque
i'll start wearing makeup, like jackson and prince
you'll see me riding in my mercedes benz
nobody wants you when you just play guitar
there'll be some changes made tomorrow
there'll be some changes made

mark: yeah but chet, you're never gonna get to play that rock N roll
you're kinda country, just a little bit old

chet: but your money for nothing? and your chicks for free?

mark: well, them groupie girls ain't what they're cracked up to be

chet: well i'd really like to find out for myself don't you know
i've had a quiet life down here on music row
"well, like man" whaddya think?

mark: i don't know

chet: i really think that i can make the grade
there'll be some changes made"[/font]

OMG Corey Hart! That song always makes me think of "Black Cars look better in the shade" but since there is really no connection....

to:

Just a little more time is all we're asking for
Cause just a little more time could open closing doors
Just a little uncertainty can bring you down
And nobody wants to know you now
And nobody wants to show you how
So if you're lost and on your own
You can never surrender
And if your path won't lead you home
You can never surrender
And when the night is cold and dark
You can see, you can see light
Cause no-one can take away your right
To fight and never surrender

~To

"It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down"

Jack Johnson "flake"

^_^

to:

We sit in the car outside your house
I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you
and you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
well you let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm goin down

We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night
We come home early burning, burning in some fire fight
I'm sick and tired of you setting me up
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me down

~To
"You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove"

Tracy Chapman "fast car"

^_^

from that to
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for nights
In cars

Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please?
If I open my door
In cars

Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away

it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
to long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking

I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go"



First fav sarah song to my second fav sarah song

The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'

If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you

The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me

Summertime
And the livin' is easy,
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high.
Oh yo' daddy's rich
An' yo' ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby,
Don't you cry. One of these mornin's,
You's gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread yo' wings
An' you'll take the sky.
But till that mornin',
There's ain't nothin' can harm you
With your Daddy an' Mummy
Standin' by.

Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
In the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
With faces hidden while the walls were tightening
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin' rain
Dissolved into the bells of the lightning
Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked
Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
An' the unpawned painter behind beyond his rightful time
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

"rumor has it that you're tired of my scratchin' and drums

during this episode vocally i explode
my title is the king of the FM mode
see, my volume expands to consume
and my structures emote a lyrical heirloom
vacally pulsating, i initiate gyrating
you must respond to my bells, there's no waiting
for the duration, there's no articulation
receiving ovation for the bell association
the vocalization techniques i employ
the voice of my shadow could take a toy boy
the injection of bells into this beat
the result-enough energy to amputate your feet
greater insulator microphone dominator
my name is cool j, manipulator innovator
connoisseur, i'm sure my percussion will excite
these bells are gonna rock all night
rock the bells"

ATOMIC GARDEN-
everybody wants do dance in a playpen, but nobody wants to play in my garden.
i see the hippies on an angry line, guess they don't get my meaning,
i'm enchanted by the birds in my blossoms, i'm enamored by young lovers on the weekend,
i like the forth of july, when bombs start flashing,
and i wish i had a shiny red top, a bugle with a big brass bell would cheer me up,
or maybe something bigger that could really go pop!
so i could make the gardening stop

NO CONTROL
time is so rock solid in the minds of the hordes but they can't
explain why it should slip away,
explain why it should slip away.
history and future are the comforts of our curiosity but here we are
rooted in the present day,
rooted in the present day
questions that besiege us in life are testament of our helplessness.
there's no vestige of a beginning,
no prospect of an end.
when we all disintegrate it will all happen again, yeah.
if you came to conquer, you'll be king for a day,
but you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away.
and believe these words you hear when you think your path is clear...
we have no control,
we do not understand.
you have no control,
you are not in command.
you have no control.

they're forming in a straight line
they're going through a tight wind
the kids are losing their minds
the blitzkrieg bop

they're piling in the back seats
they're generating steam heat
pulsatin to the back beat
the blitzkrieg bop.

ay oh, let's go
shoot'em in the back now
what they want, i don't know
they're all reved up and ready to go"

"When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighbourhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighbourhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
shattered dreams

jenny had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of ...

Jay committed suicide
Brandon od'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruellest dream, reality"

"brenda and eddie were the popular steadies
and the king and the queen of the prom
riding around with their car top down and the stereo on
nobody looked any finer
or was more of a hit at the parkway diner
we never knew we could want more than that out of life
surely brenda and eddie would always know how to survive

brenda and eddie were still going steady
in the summer of 75
when they decided the marriage would be at the end of july
everyone said they were crazy
brenda you know that you're much too lazy
and eddie could never afford to live that kind of life
but there we were waving brenda and eddie goodbye

they got an apartment with deep pile carpet
and a couple of paintings from sears
a big waterbed that they bought with the bread
they had saved for a couple of years
they started to fight when the money got tight
they just didn't count on the tears

well, they lived for a while in a very nice style
but it's always the same in the end
they got a divorce as a matter of course
and they parted the closest of friends
then the king and the queen went back to the green
but you can never go back there again whoa oh

brenda and eddie had had it already
by the summer of 75
from the high to the low to the end of the show for the rest of their lives
they couldn't go back to the greasers
the best they could do was pick up the pieces
and we always knew they would both find a way to get by
that's all i heard about brenda and eddie
i can't tell you more cause i told you already
and here we are wavin brenda and eddie goodbye"

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished em well
You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell
Cest la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They finished off an apartment with a two-room roebuck sale
The coolerator was jammed with tv dinners and ginger ale
And when pierre found work, the little money comin worked out well
Cest la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all blues, rock, rhythm, and jazz
But when the sun went down, the volume went down as well
Cest la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

"we only knew each other by letter when i met her off of the train
but when the smoke had cleared and the dust had stilled
she was standing there speaking my name
i guarantee she looked like an angel
couldn't get think of what i should say
when adam saw eve in the garden i believe he felt the selfsame way

i handed her up on the wagon and loaded up her trunk behind
she was sittin up there with the gold in her hair
i couldn't get her off of my mind

think that you could love me mary?
think we got a chance of a life?
do you think that you could love me mary now you are to be my wife?

we finally headed out of the station and rode up the home trail
when we came to the farm she laid a hand on my arm
i thought my resolution would fail
and i froze as she stepped in the doorway
stood there still as can be
i said "i know it ain't much it needs a woman's touch"
she turned around and looked at me

do you think that you could love me mary?
think we got a chance at a life?
do you think that you could love me mary now you are to be my wife?

we had a prairie wedding -- there was a preacher and a neighbor or two
i gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring
and the both of us said i do
now when the sun's going down on the prairie
and the gold in her hair is aflame
i say "do you really love me mary?"
i hold her and i whisper her name

do you think that you could love me mary?
think we got a chance at a life?
do you think that you could love me mary now you are to be my wife?"

"Trucks And Trains"

These days go by like trucks and trains
Some hit so hard you barely feel a thing
Lights out right now back then and forevermore
Lights out left now these robots marching
To the nearest liquor store
There's something green that's leaving town
Always thought it was blue
Always knew I was wrong
Where it goes *heck* knows
maybe somewhere better than here
And what they say of the grass on the other side's true
Too much time looking up is turning everything blue
Including me - including you
Including you
These times count down like boats and planes
Some wash away in undertow
Some plummet down in flames
Lights out right now back then and forevermore
With sirens on this ambulance is racing
to the west coast shore
There's something blue that's leaving town
We always talked about black we're considering brown
Where it goes *heck* knows
Maybe somewhere better than here
And what they say of the grass on the other side's true
Too much time looking up's turning everything blue
Including me, including the ocean, including you
Feel the ocean blue
Engulfing you
I view the deep blue sea
It's turning red right in front of me
There's something gray that's leaving town
And it's way beyond me
How it gets off the ground
Where it goes *heck* knows
Maybe somewhere better than here
And what they say of the grass on the other side's true
Too much time looking up's turning everything blue
Including me, including the pilots, including you

*did a little editing* - don't want to offend anyone

and so my heart is paying now for things i didnt do
in anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
why cant i free your doubtful mind,and melt your cold cold heart?

youll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
you know you need and want my love yet youre afraid to try
why do you run and hide from lies, to try it just aint smart
why cant i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?

but now i know your heart is shackled to a memory

I bought a bourgeois house in the Hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
We settled in for the night my baby and me
We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on

Well now home entertainment was my baby's wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish
I tied it to the top of my Japanese car
I came home and I pointed it out into the stars
A message came back from the great beyond
There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on

Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires
We might'a got all nice and friendly
If we'd made it upstairs
All I got was a note that said "Bye-bye John
Our love is fifty-seven channels and nothin' on"

So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast
'Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for disturbin' the almighty peace
Judge said "What you got in your defense son?"
"Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on"
I can see by your eyes friend you're just about gone
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on...

Faint white figures paint my sleep

does it cost me scarring if the words stay true
even number your nephew (I don't want it anymore)
and when the answer that you want
is in the question that you state
come what may
in a pain that buckles out your knees
could you stop this if I plead (you got it)
so destined I am to walk among the dark
a child in keeping secrets from (will they know what I've done in the after)
in the sought for matter when the words blame you
in a blood red summer I'll give you (I don't want it)

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Brand new a baby blue machine
Brass tacks, duct tape
For the great escape
Packed in there like sardines
Back and forth

Often lost and paths criss crossed
Wake me up I need a nap

They did something
Which meant something
And that got them some attention
Eyes wide
A roller coaster ride
Great pride in this invention
I think they're selling Snake oil
At the dog and pony show
In the garden gee
Would you pardon me
And by the way how does it grow

Holding onto something
Once dreamt unattainable
The course was never charted
So don't look into the books
The secret's not the recipe
It's got to be the cooks
They made something
They played something
Blood, sweat, and elbow grease
If you can't stand the heat in the kitchen
Get out it will increase
Last train to where?
Hey get out of here
Nothing's measured and nothing's weighed
A dash of honesty in the recipe
That's the first mistake you've made

"...You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away..."

Thanks Babel!

oh yeah and here's my song..."grace" to "evangeline" ... kinda works

Evangeline

She came from Heaven well there's no point belaboring that
I've seen some trouble and I must admit that I'm in demand
I confront rejection with magnetic good intentions yet
hey Jack Get back in fact Don't do that
I act sharp
but feel uncertain
cuz next time
It could be curtains

Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
lend me your faith cuz mine is broken
Compared to mine
what is your crime Evangeline

Now just to be certain let's be sure to set the record straight
I could use an angel but I don't intend to split up the take
Never go for treason but I got reasons that don't warrant debate
My acts intact and in fact you're not all that
You act sure
but youre uncertain
cuz next time
It could be curtains

Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
lend me your faith cuz mine is broken
Compared to mine
what is your crime Evangeline

Well there's no use turning back
no use turning back
It's already much too late
When the house is burning

Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
lend me your faith cuz mine is broken
Compared to mine
what is your crime Evangeline

Kind of fits...in a hurry for something!

Sometimes I miss that feeling of fallin'
Fallin all over the edge
You know I miss that feeling of fallin'
I want to fall on over the ledge
And when my mind it can get so worried
And I just cant get no rest
Oh baby, yeah baby, that's when I gotta call you up instead

After midnight baby
Sittin' here all alone
Try to call your number
But you still ain't home
I've been a good girl baby
And I'm still through with all that mess
You see the way I'm feelin right now darlin
Well it scares me half to death
I'm missin' that feelin' of fallin'
Fallin' all over the edge........

Summer night up in Texas Baby
I was too hot and wet to sleep
I heard you pull up in the distance
You were coming to get me relief
We went screaming down that highway
So much faster then we should
And when you pulled me over in the moonlight
Man I still can feel that hood.
Well I miss that feeling....
When the blues start coming around
I wanna crawl up and take a real good look

It ain't something you get over
You can think you'll make it though
Go on and turn your head or try to walk away people
'Cause it never takes its eyes off of you.

Push your foot right through that floor board
Make me cut those streamers down your back
I waste what's precious and I cant afford
And I try to run my life right off the track
It's that poison
Keeps me boiling
Only we truely twisted know so well
I dont need any drug to show me heaven
And I sure know how to spend plenty of time cleanin' hell

And I miss that feeling of fallin'
Keeping me falling baby

hmmm....the Bosstones covered that one, so I'll go with:

"Someday I Suppose"

There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When I can't rememeber
It irritates me
Could be I can't remember
Could be I choose to not,
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot
There was a girl and I don't know her name either
She gave me love and I swore I'd never leave her
If I did I'd come back someday and find her
Maybe I will I should write down a reminder
One day! One day who knows
Someday I suppose
There was a verse that I was gonna write I haven't yet
But there's still a chance I might An open book
That I still want to close I'll find the time
Someday I suppose A place and time,
I wanna be and spend a storyline
That's happy in the end Plans are made
with promises so certainly uncertain
I can't wait to set things straight
before they close the curtain
One day! One day who knows
Someday I suppose
The more I sort things out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think I'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more I try to change it's course
the more off course it goes
Of course I'll reach my destination someday I suppose
Sort it out,
Get distorted
One day who knows
Hide behind,
Someday I suppose

take a long holiday
let your children play
if you give this man a ride
sweet memory will die
killer on the road

girl you gotta love your man
girl you gotta love your man
take him by the hand
make him understand
the world on you depends
our life will never end
gotta love your man

riders on the storm
riders on the storm
into this life we're born
into this world we're thrown
like a dog without a bone
an actor out on loan
riders on the storm"

TO

Come Out And Play

You gotta keep 'em separated -

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guys colors and the others don't mix
They're gonna bash it up
Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope

To:

Gone Away

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky

And call out your name And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold Now that you've gone away

to:

Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Cause you know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can
send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can
Send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can
send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

this one is doubly appropriate since i just read that the singers in this song went to high school together:

"You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come thru the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feelin' alright
Well you just roll over
And turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But "used to be's" don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I leared how to love
And I learned how to lie
Well you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
And yYou don't bring me flowers anymore

Well you'd think I could learn
how to tell you 'goodbye'
You don't say you need me
You don't sing me love songs
You don't bring me flowers anymore"

at the end of the early british war
the young land started growin
the young blood started flowin

in a thousand different fights
i was there at the little big horn
i saw many men lyin i saw many more dyin
but i ain't a-marchin anymore

it's always the old to lead us to the war
always the young to fall
now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
tell me, is it worth it all

for i stole california from the mexican land
fought in the bloody civil war
yes i even killed my brothers and so many others
but i ain't a-marchin' anymore

for i marched to the battles of the german trench
in a war that was bound to end all wars
oh, i must have killed a million men and now they want me back again
but i ain't a-marchin anymore

it's always the old to lead us to the war
always the young to fall
now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
tell me, is it worth it all

for i flew the final mission in the japanese sky
set off the mighty mushroom roar
shen i saw the cities burning i knew that i was learnin
that i ain't a-marchin anymore

now the labor leader's screamin when they close the missile plants
united fruit screams at the cuban shore
call it "peace" or call it "treason" call it "love" or call it "reason"
but i ain't a-marchin any more.

Makin' lazy circles in the sky.

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Oh sweet home baby

"Keep On Rockin' In The Free World"

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
Some are black and some are white
Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
With the blind faith of Jesus you know that they just might, be
Rockin' in the U.S.A.

and i can't wait to get on the road again

on the road again
like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
we're the best of friends
insisting that the world keep turning our way

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

to:

(i cut & pasted this, cause i can't remember all the words )

"It was April the forty-first being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis my barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray and it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station, they said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it okay pal?"

While they were doing that I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar,
a real dive
But I knew the owner, he used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Gil was also down on his luck, fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar he poured me the usual
Rusty snail, hold the grunion -- shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin
On porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna -- Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail, and she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink
She drank like a . . .
She drank a lot

I said "What's your sign"
She said "Aquarium"
I said "Great, let's get tanked"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line:
"Not tonight, I gotta haddock"

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here"
What a crab!
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said
"A-balone, you're just being shellfish"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil
Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke but there he was
Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods Gil this guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said
"Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish what's your name?"
I said "Marlin"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh"

Coming down on the floor like a maniac.

Get down in full effect!
I want you back for the rhythm-attack
Coming down on the floor like a maniac.
I want you back so clean up the dish.
By the way, how much is the fish?!!
How much is the fish?!!
Here we go, here we go, here we go again!!
Yeeah!!

We're breaking the rules. Ignore the machine.
You won't ever stop this.

Coming down on the floor like a maniac.
