    @life goes on.....great song, great band.....YouTube it....
    Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wallDo you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair By the way didn't I break your heart? Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart So sorry, I never meant to break your heart But you broke mine Kayleigh is it too late to say I'm sorry? And Kayleigh could we get it together again? I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you And Kayleigh I thought that we'd always be friends We said our love would last forever So how did it come to this bitter end? Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize Park Do you remember dancing in stilettoes in the snow Do you remember you never understood I had to go By the way, didn't I break your heart Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart So sorry, I never meant to break your heart But you broke mine Kayleigh I just wanna say I'm sorry But Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone Maybe it will prove that we were right Or ever prove that I was wrong Just watched the HD video on YouTube, first time in 30 years....somewhat dated but I'm verklempt.....entire album is a must have...

    @ angel in a centerfold...
    So, during that song once as a child I asked my step mom, "what's a centerfold?" Kids say the darndest things... Girl, you're looking fine tonight And every guy has got you in his sight What you're doing with a clown like me Is surely one of life's little mysteries So tonight I'll ask the stars above "How did I ever win your love?" What did I do? What did I say To turn your angel eyes my way? Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance Never even got one second glance Across a crowded room was close enough I could look but I could never touch So tonight I'll ask, the stars above "How did I ever win your love?" What did I do? What did I say To turn your angel eyes my way? Don't anyone wake me If it's just a dream 'Cause she's the best thing Ever happened to me All you fellows You can look all you like But this girl you see She's leavin' here with me tonight There's just one more thing that I need to know If this is love why does it scare me so? It must be somethin' only you can see 'Cause girl I feel it when you look at me So tonight I'll ask the stars above "How did I ever win your love?" What did I do? What did I say, To turn your angel eyes my way? Hey, hey, hey, yeah, awww

    An angel on a HarleyPulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone Puts his bike up on it's stand Leans back and then extends A scarred and greasy hand...he said How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya goin'? Then he takes your hand In some strange Californian handshake And breaks the bone Have a nice day A housewife from Encino Whose husband's on the golf course With his book of rules Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back To take a second look at you You flex your rod Fish takes the hook Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath Another number in your little black book These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking Oh babe, I must be dreaming I'm standing on the leading edge The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes "Jump" says Yoko Ono "I'm too scared and too good looking" I cried "Go on", she says "Why don't you give it a try? Why prolong the agony all men must die" Do you remember Dick Tracy? Do you remember Shane? And mother wants you Could you see him selling tickets Where the buzzard circles over Shane The bitch said something mystical "Herro" So I stepped back on the kerb again These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking Oh babe, I must be dreaming again These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

    Apparently they were travelling abroad And they picked up some hitchhikers...drill Wake up you're dreaming...what...you're dreaming We were moving away from the border Uh what border? Have a nice day...uh...have a nice day We were moving away from the border Looking for somewhere to sleep The two of us sharing the driving Two hitchhikers slumped in the back seat Hello I sneaked a quick look in the mirror She gave me a smile I said "Is anyone hungry? Should we stop for a while?" So we pulled off into a layby Her dress blew up over her head I said "Would you like to come with me?" She said something foreign under her breath And the sun shone down on her lovely young limbs I thought to myself she's much too good for him I lay down beside her with tears in my eyes She said

I was told June 10th or thereabouts by GDTSTOO in early March shortly after the TM debacle...they "wanted people to have tickets in hand by mid June" but it's all assumption until one of us gets them

As Mayor I have only one request from you. Don't wear the hot pants. They didn't go over so well last time. Mr. Haney's ex got just a little bit too excited and the town meeting REALLY got out of hand as a result. We don't want that again, so please...no hot pants. Another election already????
