    stop me if I've gone too far...I can get carried away... I want to live, I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions I never give That keep me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old. I've been to Hollywood I've been to Redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold. I've been in my mind, It's such a fine line That keeps me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold. You keep me searching and I'm growing old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

    Why thank you. Have yourself a good evening, pat Sarge on the head for me. 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.

Ooh, you make me live Whenever this world is cruel to me I got you to help me forgive Ooh, you make me live now honey Ooh, you make me live You're the first one When things turn out bad You know I'll never be lonely You're my only one And I love the things I really love the things that you do You're my best friend Ooh, you make me live. I'm happy, happy at home You're my best friend You're my best friend Ooh, you make me live You, you're my best friend.

    Hey, I called you Trixie..... Yeah, it's been a long hard road here in da Buff..... To quote Tom Waits.... Ain't got no spare, ain't got no jack.... Don't give a shit...ain't goin back.... Life's been good to me so far...... She got high on lovin' Sorry but I'm passing through Maybe I got a toothpick In the bottom of my walkin' shoes This ain't a town for tear drops Or tattoo regrets Nah, yeah Sneakin' out the back way In the middle of a starry night Ain't gonna be remembered For all the things that I did right Can't say I need you, can't say I don't But I won't And no need to miss me when I'm gone And no need to miss me when I'm gone And no need to miss me when I'm gone And no need to miss me when I'm gone I wouldn't have very long

    man, you guys have been married since I was 1 year old. CONGRATS! You musta done somethin' right for her to keep you around. Say hi to her from Matt and I. And to Junior as well. BTW how was his show the other night? Catch ya on the flip side Sometimes I feel like i am leaving life behind My hands are moving faster than the movement of my mind Thoughts and generations of my dreams are yet unborn I hope that I will find them 'fore my moving gets too worn If only I could live to see the dawning of the dawn So we go on moving trying to make this image real Straining every nerve not knowing what we really feel Straining every nerve ending and everybody sees That what they read in the Rolling Stone has really come to be And trying to avoid a taste of that reality On an early New York mornin' a mirror in the hall Showed to me a face I didn't know at all Lines were drawn around a pair of eyes that opened wide When I looked into the mouth there was nothing left inside So I walked into the little room and whistled like a sigh As dawn light closed around me my head was still in gear Thinking thoughts of playing more and singing loud and clear Trying to reach a friend somewhere and make that person smile Maybe pull myself away from that old lonesome mile That often comes to haunt me in the morning All my friends keep telling me that it would be a shame To break up such a grand success and tear apart a name But all I know is what I feel whenever I'm not playin' Emptiness ain't where it's at and neither's feeling pain Well now what is going to happen now is anybody's guess If I can't spend my time with love I guess I need a rest Time is getting late now and the sun is getting low My body's getting tired of carryin' another's load And sunshine's waiting for me a little further down the road

I need your sweet inspiration I need you here on my mind every hour of the day Without your sweet inspiration The lonely hours of the night just don't go my way A man in love needs sweet inspiration And honey that's all I ask, that's all I ask from you I gotta have sweet inspiration You know there's just no telling what a satisfied man might do If I'm out in the rain baby In a bad situation I just reach back in my mind to find Sweet inspiration Sweet, oh what a power And I've got the power every hour in the day I need your sweet inspiration To go on livin' to keep on givin' this way Sweet, sweet inspiration Aloha!

You sir are risking the mighty rath of Klang. He rules from an awe inspiring rig, much like the Wizard of Oz's. Only his uses the avatar of an evil clown. Maybe you haven't seen it. Those of us who have know how terrifying it is. You have been forewarned. Just remember Mayor Klangstone has ordered that no one look behind the curtain.

Klang is Rgggrrr's alter-ego. Beans spilled. Or rumor spread? Again, beware the meds and round-number hoarders. I got no dime (or your $20 bill) but I've got some time to hear your story.

I never saw that one coming. But now that you mention it. It does seem suspicious that you never see them post a comment at the same time. I feel that this warrants furthur investigation.

Hi there and welcome to sunshiney daydreamer land! Well I don't have the official packet info in front of me at the moment, but the general gist is: *keep it friendly and positive *keep discussions generally pertaining to this group and the social gatherings being planned for Chicago, additional local happenings, the pick-a-nick and other group meetings * local info for help and aid to us all * use the other main thread for ticket discussions or save it for PMs * use the other main thread for complaints about the ticket situation if you must * be kind, rewind keep peace in your heart and get on the bus! rgergelis is driving the wheels off this crazy thing and we need enough bodies aboard to keep us balanced on the road to Chi-town. All aboard!! P.S. Mayor in name and satirical statute only. Here to help out if and when I can, just like any ordinary good citizen of dreamer-land.

From John Cash and the Carter family..... Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away Well the mornings so bright and the land is the light And the night, night is as black as the sea There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me. Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb and the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child And I'll be changed from this creature that I am There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me.
