FAVORITE LYRICS?

[Midwest Spy]

I just want to say this is my way of telling you

That everything i could never say before

Yeah this is my way of telling you

That everyday I'm lovin you so much more

- Gerry Rafferty, Right Down The Line

[BlueTiki]

I hate it when MS talks to his penis in public.

[cladking]

I had a girlfriend who fit this pretty well.

I'm not the most macho guy in the world but not many women are more man than I am. ...And way more woman!!

Was she a skater, Clad? Sounds a bit like Spike.

She did most things well.

I just listened to this one yesterday;

[cladking]

This is a better song though;

[HairOfTheDog]

Good songs, Clad.

I think Lady Blue is a really sexy song by Leon Russell. The lyrics, the sax, the voice...

So if you want it to be real good to ya,
When I'm layin' here makin' love to ya,
A listen real close to me baby,
You just wait and see lady,
I've got a lotta love to give ya,
I've got a whole life to spend if you'll
Just let me sing a sweet love song
Lady Blue, oh sing a love song
Lady Blue.

[Midwest Spy]

Heard this today.

Considering how short Jim Croce's life turned out to be, I thought this lyric was very apt:

But there never seems to be enough time to do things you want do once you find them.

-Jim Croce, Time In A Bottle

[Midwest Spy]

Every once in a while, an oldie but goodie will enter my playlist again.

Love listening to this one quite a bit:

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here

[BlueTiki]

Tequila (x 3)!

Tequila - The Champs

[crash]

Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

[Midwest Spy]

'You took your coat off and stood in the rain. You're always crazy like that.'

-Jewel, Foolish Games

What a brilliant composition by such a young songwriter (at the time). So heartfelt, you can actually hear her heart breaking when she says 'your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.'

[Midwest Spy]

When you were just a young girl and still in school

How come you never learned the Golden Rule?

Don't talk to strange men and dont be a fool

I'm hearing stories and I don't think that's cool.


Rick Springfield, Don't Talk To Strangers


BTW, Rick still looks great for 60-something years old.

[BlueTiki]

And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me

Clint Black - This Nightlife

[Midwest Spy]

Love the acoustic intro on this one.

Janet Jackson sampled it for one of her hits in the late 90's too.

Always makes me feel good inside.


Chewin' on a piece of grass, walking down the ro-o-ad

Tell me 'How long you ginna stay here Joe'?

Some people say, 'This town don't look good in snow'.

You don't care I know.

Ventura Highway in the sunshine.

Where the days are longer the nights are stronger than moonshine.

-America

[BlueTiki]

I am in Algodones, Mexico and after passing by a strip club, this oldie popped into my head:

Candy Barr was really quite a star,
she could do-have-done-did-dance the dirty donkey.
But she went to jail, she dropped a nail on some
Snow-White-uptight-do-right Dallas honky.

Oh, when she's good, she's so, so good,
but when she's bad — she's better.

Yes she is!

Candy Barr was really quite a star,
she could back-drop-non-stop-be-bop a Silver Dollar.
Put your money down she'll turn you 'round,
she can make-shake-fake-break-take you 'til you holler.

Oh, when she's bad — she's better.
When she's bad . . . oh, when she's bad — she's better.

Yes she is!

Jerry Riopelle - Candy Barr

[Blindgreed1]

I poked her and I stroked her till my wrist went numb
and applied rotation on her sugar plum.

RIP Frank you fucking genius.

[HairOfTheDog]

I have a love for Dinah-Moe too, Gunnar.

And her filthy pimping little sister.

Just get me wasted
And you're half-way there
'Cause if my mind's tore up,
Then my body don't care

Plus, the Moe sisters had Tina Turner in the background-- all for 40 bucks. Probably wind up with bovine perspiration on your upper lip area trying to top that deal. Only Frank.

[crash]

She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs

Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there

[Midwest Spy]

Yes I'm loose from the noose
That's kept me hangin' around

I keep lookin' at the sky
Cause it's gettin' me high

Forget the hearse cause I never died.
I got nine lives, cats eyes
using everyone of them
and runnin' wild.

[Donovan]

Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun.
But mama, that's where the fun is.

[Midwest Spy]

Nice...

Sure looks good...

Mmm, mmm, mmm....

Skate a little lower now.

The Cuervo Gold,

The fine Colombian,

Make tonight a wonderful thing....

-Steely Dan, Hey 19
