Jolene

Cochine flame flaming in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust and blind
Held you in my arms
One time lost you just the same Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood in my lips
A Picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
I still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means Jolene
Been so long since I seen your face
Or Felt a part of this human race
I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long
A Man needs something he can hold onto
A Nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of those things will do
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair
A Picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
I still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means Jolene
Jolene
Jolene

A different Jolene.......


Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And i cannot compete with you, jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing i can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, jolene

And i can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But i could never love again
He's the only one for me, jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, jolene

 

[Figment1986]

When I’m feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I’m not so blue
When you’re close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing in my ear...
Wouldn’t you agree, baby you and me,
we’ve got a groovy kind of love...?
Anytime you want to, you can turn me on to
Anything you want to, anytime at all.
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can’t control the grivering inside...
Wouldn’t you agree, baby you and me,
we’ve got a groovy kind of love...?
When I’m feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I’m not so blue
When I’m in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I don’t care...
Wouldn’t you agree, baby you and me,
we’ve got a groovy kind of love...?

Goovy King of Love.... Verry good song...

Must have been love... But it's over now)

Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, in this air of silence
In the bedroom and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes
And dream away

It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out

Make-believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
In and outside I turn to water
Like a teardrop in your palm
And it's a hard winter's day
I dream away

It must have been love, but it's over now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love, but it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows

It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out

It must have been love, but it's over now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love, but it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows

Oohh

 

[Woody13]

Sorry, I'm still in the car song mode.

You may have heard of jalopies,
You heard the noise they make,
Let me introduce you to my Rocket '88.
Yes it's great, just won't wait,
Everybody likes my Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.

(Guitar solo, leading into steel guitar solo.)

V-8 motor and this modern design,
My convertible top and the gals don't mind
Sportin' with me, ridin' all around town for joy.
(Spoken) -- Blow your horn, Rocket, blow your horn!

(Horn sound effect leading into guitar solo.)

Step in my Rocket and-a don't be late,
We're pullin' out about a half-past-eight.
Goin' on the corner and-a havin' some fun,
Takin' my Rocket on a long, hot run.
Ooh, goin' out,
Oozin' and cruisin' along.

(Guitar solo.)

Now that you've ridden in my Rocket '88,
I'll be around every night about eight.
You know it's great, don't be late,
Everybody likes my Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.

(Fade out, ending with sound effect of a car driving away.)

They made up their minds and they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

They drank up the wine and they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down they started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home but they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

The children woke up and they couldn't find 'em
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
(Leavin' it all behind)
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home but they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home but they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

Does she talk?

She's just your size
She's sexy she's beautiful
Does she talk?
She's just your size
She's sexy she's beautiful
Does she talk?
'Cause man you can't teach
A slithering snake how to talk
Did she lick your palm
To tell you your fortune tonight?
Did she lick your palm
To tell you your fortune tonight?
You know sometimes it just isn't worth
Putting up a fight, is it?
[solo]
Gonna need you a key
To open the door to her heart
Gonna need you a key
To open the door to her heart
Or are you afraid her body is
Missing that part?
Well I can *** you up the ***
You can *** me up the ***
Alright
Well I can *** you up the ***
You can *** me up the ***
Alright
Because they took channel 23
Off the air last night
Down home
You're gonna like it
You're gonna like it...

-Matthew Sweet

Bad Reputation

know I got a bad reputation
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk
If I could only give you everything
You know I haven't got
I couldn't have one conversation
If it wasn't for the lies, lies, lies
And still I ought to tell you everything
'till I close my eyes
Suddenly I'm on the street
Seven years disappear below my feet
Been breaking down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Suddenly I'm down in Harold's Square
Looking in the crowd, your face is everywhere
Been turning around
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Don't try to be an inspiriation
Just wasting your time, time, time
You know about the best I'll ever be
See it in your eyes
I know I got a bad reputation
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk
If I could only give you everything
You know I haven't got
Suddenly I'm on the street
Seven years disappear below my feet
Been breaking down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Suddenly I'm in another place
Looking in the crowd I think I see your face
Been turning around
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
(Down, Down, down)
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
(Down, Down, down)
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
(Down, Down, down)
Don't you think I've heard the talk?
Nobody's going to tell me who to love
Been breaking down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Suddenly I'm down in Harold's Square
Looking in the crowd, your face is everywhere
Just turning around
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Been breaking down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
I'm just breaking down, down, down, down
Been breaking down, down, down
Been breaking down, down, down

Don't Get Weird on Me, Babe

She's a Girl, and I'm a Man

she said she didn't understand and so she guessed he was deep
he swore he'd never been to college and was too tall to be
so as she led him to the slaughter thinking she'd be laughing last
now the lady in the question is his better half
she's gotta be the stupidest girl i've ever seen
she don't care who, why, where i've been
she's got a right to be, with all that's wrong with me
but she doesn't wanna understand that she's a girl and i'm a man
he thought that women and drink would make a man out of him
but the extent of his studies left a jaded man
so as she led him to the altar he was easily led
and when they asked him if he did, well then this is what he said
she's gotta be the stupidest girl i've ever seen
she don't care who, why, where i've been
she's got a right to be, with all that's wrong with me
but she doesn't wanna understand that she's a girl and i'm a man
well she's a girl and i'm a man
she's a girl and i'm a man
she's a girl and i'm a man
she's a girl and i'm a man
she's a girl and i'm a man
she's a girl
she's gotta be the stupidest girl i've ever seen
she don't care who, why, where i've been
she's got a right to be, with all that's wrong with me
but she doesn't wanna understand that she's a girl and i'm her man
every time she's near me
she gives me any reason to be alive
try to get right
yeah she looks right through me
she says you're not cool, you're just like me
you're a stupid man
get over here, hold my stupid hand
she's all right, yeah...
you wouldn't understand, sister is a man fan
she's gotta be the stupidest girl i've ever seen
she don't care who, why, where i've been
she's got a right to be, with all that's wrong with me
but she doesn't wanna understand that she's a girl and i'm a man

Cruisin’ through the west side
We’ll be checkin’ the scene

I’ll be burnin’ rubber, you’ll be kissin’ my a**
Pull up to the bumper, get out of the car
License plate says stunner #1 superstar

I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
Get this party started

Makin’ my connection as I enter the room
Everybody’s chillin’ as I set up the groove
Pumpin’ up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody’s dancin’ and their dancin’ for me
I’m your operator, you can call anytime
I’ll be your connection to the party line

[tigsmom]

In an oldies mood......


Darling you can count on me
'till the sun dries up the sea
Until then i'll always be
Devoted to you

I'll be yours 'till endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that i'm
Devoted to you

I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years our love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because i'm so
Devoted to you

Martha White Theme Song
~Flatt & Scruggs

Now you bake right (uh-huh) with Martha White (yes, ma'am)
Goodness gracious, good and light, Martha White.

For the finest biscuits, cakes and pies,
Get Martha White self-rising flour
The one all purpose flour,
Martha White self-rising flour's
Got Hot Rise.

For the finest cornbread you can bake,
Get Martha White self-rising meal
The one all purpose meal
Martha White self-rising meal
For goodness' sake

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]

Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...

Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistle]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistle]

Life's a piece of $hit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistle]

And, always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling...
I mean, what do you have to lose
You come from nothing
You go back to nothing
What have you lost, nothing
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]

Good ol' Python...:lol:

 

[dandaman]

On that note:

We're Knights of the Round Table
We dance whene'er we're able
We do routines and chorus scenes and footwork impeccable
We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot

We're Knights of the Round Table
Our shows are formidable
But many times we've given rhymes
That are quite unsingable
We're opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the diaphragm a lot

In war we're tough and able
Quite indefatigable
Between our quests we sequin vests
And impersonate Clark Gable
It's a busy life in Camelot
I have to push the pram a lot

 

[stranger]

Relax and settle down
Let your mind go round
Lay down on the ground
Listen to the sound of the band
Hold my hand

Open up your mind
We'll love right where we lie
I know you from inside
You're like a horse I'll ride o'er the sand
Through the land

Relax and let your mind roll on
Over all your problems
Relax and let your mind roll on
Over all your problems

We try harder and harder trying to get away
But it's a long long way until judgement day
So settle your affairs and take your time
'Cause everything in the world is yours and mine
Yours and mine

Relax and settle down
Let your mind go round
Lay down on the ground
Listen to the sound of the band
Hold my hand
Relax

 

[Not For Sale]

"Like Sprewells On A Wheelchair"- Dillinger Four

Not so jumpy now, downtown
No talk of concerns or fear
We'll just hand over all our tax money
Then about nothing but the price of cable and beer.
Oh, how easy it is sometimes
To get lost in these party lines
Are we cops of the free even overseas
Or this 'them and us' mentality ruin our eyes.

It's a message from the malcontent
We refuse to buy, we're heaven sent
With our gameface on
We're a UN no-show bullies from the get go.
They hit us with this 'love it or leave it' s***
Like a dog in a cage trained to beg then sit
If that's how it's gonna be
I'm not calling this home.

Mine's a little voice
S***, I thought that was the point
Born of a freedom never realized
With manifest destiny kept like a sign from the skies.
All around the world
They're ignored and ed
Staring back at us
Like we're spoiled little kids
How have we proven them wrong
With police states, hollywood, embargos and radio songs.

It's a message from the malcontent
We refuse to buy, we're heaven sent
With our gameface on
We're a UN no-show bullies from the get go.
They hit us with this 'love it or leave it' s***
Like a dog in a cage trained to beg then sit
If that's how it's gonna be
I'm not calling this home.

We're the land of the free trial membership to crap
Where adults can't find world powers on a map
Where leaders run free with absconded power
Where a flag costs more than you make in an hour
Where I stand with so many but we're told we're alone
Where I work for a living but I never feel at home.

 

[Woody13]

I Call That True Love

You gotta wake up every mornin',
Tip toe in the kitchen,
cook me a great big T-bone steak,
Serve it to me in bed,
Go down the street and hustle,
Bring me back all the money you make.
You gotta rub my body with sweet scented oil,
Cool me with a 'lectric fan,
Run to the church
Fall down on your knees
Say "Lord I wanna thank you that man!"

And I'll call that true love,
True and sweet.
That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin',
But, baby, that's the kind of love I need.

Wanna come home every evenin'
To a great big meal
Of wine and roasted pheasant.
Say to me, "Woody, this is Suzy,
This is Nell, I brought 'em both
Home to you for a present"
Cops bust in and find my stash,
You gotta tell 'em it belongs to you,
And when you're sittin' in the slam,
Tell all the other chickies
When they get out,
They should look me up too.

And I'll call that true love,
True and sweet.
That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin',
But, baby, that's the kind of love I need.


Some guy accuses me
Of foolin' with his wife
And threatens to tear me apart.
He points a gun at me,
I want you to jump in the middle
And take the bullet in your own little heart.
And as you're lyin' on the floor and dyin',
I want you to look up at me and say
"Woody I'm sorry I messed up the rug,
Just roll my body out of the way."

And I'll call that true love,
True and sweet.
That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin',
But, baby, that's the kind of love I need.


Movie people call you on the telephone
I want you to turn down the part.
And when we're ballin', baby,
Ride on top so I never, ever strain my heart.

And I'll call that true love,
True and sweet.
That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin',
But, baby, that's the kind of love I need!
