    @ Confetti
    and I still have some confetti from the Lips shows... I thought I was smart, I thought I was right I thought it better not to fight I thought there was a virtue in always being cool So when it came time to fight, I thought I'll just step aside and that the time would prove you wrong And that you would be the fool I don't know where the sun beams end and the star light begins, It's all a mystery Oh to fight is to defend if it's not now than tell me when Would be the time that you would stand up and be a man For to lose I could accept, but to surrender I just wept and regretted this moment Oh that I, I was the fool I don't know where the sun beams end and the star light begins, It's all a mystery And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life, It's all a mystery Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things you can't avoid, You have to face them when you're not prepared to face them If I could, I would, but you're with him now it'd do no good I should have fought him but instead I let him- I let him take it I don't know where the sun beams end and the star light begins, It's all a mystery And I don't know how a man decides what right for his own life It's all a mystery

    Wayne Coyne and the Lips record in Dunkirk NY where my son goes to college....he met him and had a meet n greet at Starbucks accidentally....and you are spot on....per Scotty, Wayne is one cool character, without ego or pretension...... this song was not written for him..... You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't You? You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive Well you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well you're where you should be all the time And when you're not you're with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend, and...

    @ Wayne Coyne
    I've seen the Flaming Lips twice in STL. The 2nd time I dressed up as Wonder Woman and was given a backstage pass while waiting in line outside the venue. During the show Wayne was swinging his mechanic light around his head and he lost control of it and it hit the bassist in the arm and then hit wayne in the head pretty hard. The bassist had to stop playing for a second. When I went backstage to meet Wayne he had a huge goose egg on his head and probably a concussion. He told me that when she would come on tour his wife would always dress as Wonder Woman too. He was the most down to earth guy and met and shook everyones hand even though he shoud have been in the ER. The rest of the band wasn't present for that. Waiting, for the Ambulance to come Hoping that it doesn't come too late Hearing the sirens in the distance Hold on help is on the way. Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm right here beside her Though I live somehow I frown Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm not a real survivor Wishing that I was the one that wasn't here anymore The one that wasn't here anymore The one that wasn't here anymore Oh we can't trade places Our lives are strangely our own Mr. Ambulance Driver Tell me For everyone that dies Someone new is born Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm right here beside her And though I live somehow I frown Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm not a real survivor Cause wishing I was the one that Wasn't gonna be here anymore. Mr. Ambulance Driver Though I live Somehow I found Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm not a real survivor Cause wishin I was the one that wasn't here anymore The one that wasn't here anymore

    Good Morning Daydreamers! The sun is shining, the weather is sweet. got the radio on...Pure Prarie League I can see why you think you belong to me, I never tried to make you think, Or let you see one thing for yourself, And now you're off with someone else and I'm alone, You see I thought I might keep you for my own. Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I do. Don't you think the time is right for us to find, That all the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time, Can't you see which way we should turn together or alone, I can never see what's right or what is wrong, 'Cause that take too long to see now. Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I do. Come on now, Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I do. Now it's come to what you want, you've had your way, And all the things you thought before just faded into gray, And can you see that I don't know if it's you or it's me, But if it's one of us I'm sure we both will see, yeah, Won't you look at me and tell me. Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I, longer if I do. Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I do. I keep fallin' in and out of love with you, Fallin' in and out of love with you, Don't know what I'm gonna do, I keep fallin' in and out of love with you

    @Its just like any other day....
    Good morning America, how are you? I can still feel all your sunlight shine before the dawn First light morning feeling's got me losing so much sleep I just can't say how much I miss you when you're gone 'Cause I get a feeling something like a summer wind When you love me like a sister, then you're gone again But there's so much light shining in your eyes That you just can't help but keep a love alive Now I hear some other loving sunshine brother's Left you crying and you're all alone So dry your eyes and try and say your goodbyes 'Cause you're old enough to get back on your feel all on your own Don't you kind of get a feeling like a summer wind 'Cause he loved you like a brother, now he's gone again But there's still a lot of love light in your eyes And you sure know how to keep a man alive Well you can stand right there and tell me something's wrong It's so hard to know your problems when you're gone So, early morning riser There's not much more I can do to try and make things right If you need another sunshine brother I can be right there beside you by the early morning light And I'll forget that feeling like a summer wind And I'll probably start to think about you now and then But there's still a lot of light shining in your eyes And you still know how to keep a love alive Coffee is on..... and I've always preferred Phillips to slotted....

I suspect that 1) will be the hardest for people to get (a deep track and non-hit). But the rest of them were radio-played songs at some point. Oh well, non one wants to play trivia games anymore, it's just too trivial... It appears that most of us are blogged and e-mailed out, i.e. e-overloaded. No matter, SC coming up and nothing left do but... :-) ;-) :-D

Wait until you see my FB avatar...(at least it's not a clown) Figured I would go back to my OG pic for the home stretch, just a few days away from Levi's now. "the old ones" will recognize me better if it makes you feel any better, it comes straight from the Without a Net album art (picture on the CD itself)

are correct! An email is coming, I'm not waiting to send it I am just being slow (sorry). I want to take a pic of myself in my SD shirt and also show a small map with the location of the meet included in the e-mail. I hope to have it done tomorrow night. Until then, Hyatt Regency hotel bar area 3-5PM. The Hyatt Regency lies across the street and kitty-corner to the North-West of Levi's stadium.

Coffee is on, By the looks of things Mr. Mayor was up the better part of the night.... Take the wheel Sarge....I'm diggin Uncle Q..... Remember last summer when we had the chance To find each other, start making romance But it didn't come off because you found another Without one hand of a clock, what good is the other? And I can't find no true love, oh baby, it's so hard And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car So I went to the place where everybody hangs out To see what everybody was talking about And over in a corner all alone with you Was a boy from last summer singing songs to you And he can't sing like I can sing, oh, it's so hard And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car When I'm home alone I can think of other things to do But when I'm rolling in forward motion I think about only you It's been a year and a day since I talked to you I don't know how I made it, but I sure have been blue And every time I think about what might have been I jump in my car and start riding again And I can't find no true love, oh baby, it's so hard And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car

Seems I got to have a change of scene cuz every night I have the strangest dream.... I woke up this morning with a feeling of despair I looked for my pussy but my pussy wasn't there Well, well, well My cat fell in the well Oh puss puss puss poor kitty kitty kitty My cat fell in the well I got out a ladder and I climbed down to my pet I saw in a jiffy that my puss was soakin' wet Well, well, well My cat fell in the well Oh puss puss puss poor kitty kitty kitty My cat fell in the well The doggone hole by the pump Was she pushed, or did she jumped? There never was a kitty half as pretty As the pussy that fell in the well There never was a pussy that could quite compare with her Pretty as a picture with her long and silky fur - Well, well, well, well my cat fell in the well, well Oh oh oh pussy pussy pussy poor kitty kitty kitty My cat fell in the well If you have a pussy that you wouldn't trade or sell Never let her wander or she might fall in a well Well, well, well My cat fell in the well Oh puss puss puss poor kitty kitty kitty My cat fell in the well Fell in the - well! Sorry...just had to sing that one....

Sometimes I feel like I am drunk behind the wheelThe wheel of possibility, however it may roll Give it a spin, see if you can somehow factor in You know there's always more than one way To say exactly what you mean to say Fastball right down the middle.

Now on K DED going out to Reno by special request..... When you're driving down the highway at night And you're feelin' that wild turkey's bite Don't give Johnny Walker a ride Cause Jack Black is right by your side You might get taken to the jailhouse and find You've been arrested for driving while blind Now just the other night with nothin' to do We broke a case of proof 102 And started itchin' for that wonderful feel Of rollin' in an automobile You could say we was out of our mind And let me tell you we were flyin' while blind Then they had us up against the wall Hey it's only blood grain alcohol And there ain't no cause for alarm We ain't out to do nobody no harm How could anyone be so unkind To arrest a man for drivin' while blind Don't try this at home, your mileage may vary.....

was i out of my mind...? - sister was singing as she was getting ready for work yesterday or the day before. I was all "why are you singing Fastball?" So random. So. Quick hello - as requested - from the back of the bus. I am too excited to not have extreme ADD right now - and running around polishing all of the rails - of which this bus has many for not being a boat (?). Keep the tunes coming folx. I do love a good singalong. See all of you soon, and some of you sooner! xo S

Now I'm a union man Amazed at what I am I say what I think, that the company stinks Yes I'm a union man When we meet in the local hall I'll be voting with them all With a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!" And the rise of the factory's fall Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Til the day I die Til the day I die Us union men are wise To the lies of the company spies And I don't get fooled by the factory rules 'Cause I always read between the lines And I always get my way If I strike for higher pay When I show my card to the Scotland Yard And this is what I say: Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Til the day I die Til the day I die Before the union did appear My life was half as clear Now I've got the power to the working hour And every other day of the year So though I'm a working man I can ruin the government's plan And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card Makes me some kind of superman Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Til the day I die Til the day I die You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Til the day I die Til the day I die wunnerful wunnerful.....

It's always good to stay in sync with the Moons. ;-) Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved with gold 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 (will) make it home but (till then) they really don't care They wanted the highway, they're happier there today, today. That's my more positive spin on the Way to Santa Clara and Chicago.

This train is bound for glory, this train. This train is bound for glory, this train. This train is bound for glory, Don't carry nothing but the righteous and the holy. This train is bound for glory, this train. This train don't carry no gamblers, this train; This train don't carry no gamblers, this train; This train don't carry no gamblers, Liars, thieves, nor big shot ramblers, This train is bound for glory, this train. This train don't carry no liars, this train; This train don't carry no liars, this train; This train don't carry no liars, She's streamlined and a midnight flyer, This train don't carry no liars, this train. This train don't carry no smokers, this train; This train don't carry no smokers, this train This train don't carry no smokers, Two bit liars, small time jokers, This train don't carry no smokers, this train. This train don't carry no con men, this train; This train don't carry no con men, this train; This train don't carry no con men, No wheeler dealers, here and gone men, This train don't carry no con men, this train.

The other was rgr's nod to Cash & Carter Family's "There'll be Peace in the Valley". My daddy used to sing both of these songs to me; he had a beautiful baritone voice - very Johnny-Cash. Miss that old man.

Grab your ticket and your suitcaseThunder’s rollin’ down this track Well, you don’t know where you’re goin’ now But you know you won’t be back Well, darlin’ if you’re weary Lay your head upon my chest We’ll take what we can carry Yeah, and we’ll leave the rest Big wheels roll through fields Where sunlight streams Meet me in a land of hope and dreams Well, I will provide for you And I’ll stand by your side You’ll need a good companion now For this part of the ride Leave behind your sorrows Let this day be the last Tomorrow there’ll be sunshine And all this darkness past Big wheels roll through fields Where sunlight streams Oh meet me in a land of hope and dreams This train... Carries saints and sinners This train... Carries losers and winners This train... Carries whores and gamblers This train... Carries lost souls I said this train... Dreams will not be thwarted This train... Faith will be rewarded Just roll with it...my aim is true....And I really still miss Jerry! Stanley take the wheel....apologies to Carrie Underwood....

Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last nightWith bruised arms and broken rhythm and a beat-up old Buick but dressed just like dynamite He tried sellin' his heart to the hard girls over on Easy Street But they said, "Johnny, it falls apart so easily, and you know hearts these days are cheap" And the pimps swung their axes and said, "Johnny, you're a cheater" And the pimps swung their axes and said, "Johnny, you're a liar" And from out of the shadows came a young girl's voice, said, "Johnny, don't cry" Puerto Rican Jane, oh, won't you tell me, what's your name? I want to drive you down to the other side of town Where paradise ain't so crowded and there'll be action goin' down on Shanty Lane tonight All the golden-heeled fairies in a real bitch-fight Pull .38's and kiss their girls goodnight Goodnight, it's alright, Jane Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame We may find it out on the street tonight, baby Or we may walk until the daylight, maybe Well, like a cool Romeo he made his moves, oh, she looked so fine Like a late Juliet, she knew he'd never be true but then, she really didn't mind Upstairs a band was playin' and the singer was singin' something about going home She whispered, "Spanish Johnny, you can leave me tonight, but just don't leave me alone" And Johnny cried, "Puerto Rican Jane, word is down, the cops have found the vein" Them barefoot boys left their homes for the woods Them little barefoot street boys, they said their homes ain't no good They left the corners, threw away their switchblade knives and kissed each other goodbye Johnny was sittin' on the fire escape, watchin' the kids playin' down the street He called down, "Hey little heroes, summer's long, but I guess it ain't very sweet around here anymore" Janey sleeps in sheets damp with sweat Johnny sits up alone and watches her dream on, dream on And the sister prays for lost souls, then breaks down in the chapel after everyone's gone Jane moves over to share her pillow but opens her eyes to see Johnny up and putting his clothes on She says, "Those romantic young boys, all they ever want to do is fight Those romantic young boys, they're callin' through the window Hey, Spanish Johnny, you want to make a little easy money tonight?" And Johnny whispered, "Goodnight, it's all tight, Jane I'll meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane We may find it out on the street tonight, now, baby Or we may walk until the daylight, maybe" Goodnight, it's alright, Jane I'm gonna meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane We can find it out on the street tonight, now, baby Or we may walk until the daylight, maybe
