    Sarge play it nice and easy for Toterooski!!!! In the timbers of Fennario the wolves are running round The winter was so hard and cold froze ten feet neath the ground Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me I sat down to my supper T'was a bottle of red whiskey I said my prayers and went to bed That's the last they saw of me Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me When I awoke, the Dire Wolf Six hundred pounds of sin Was grinnin at my window All I said was "come on in" Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me The wolf came in, I got my cards We sat down for a game I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades but the cards were all the same Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me In the backwash of Fennario The black and bloody mire The Dire Wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me

    The bottom line's been snortedThe bottom card's been dealt No one knows like you know right now How truly bad it felt All your life you wasted On dreamin' about the day, Worker bees kill off their queen and carry all her eggs away Oh and if you die fearin' God And painfully employed You will not go to heaven, You'll go to Champaign, Illinois Up north in Chicago Where booze makes no one blush Memories come back to you In a double bourbon rush But memories aren't all bad Yeah and neither, my friend, are you there is an argument there must be some heaven left for hearts that are half true Oh and if you spend your whole life Driving horses into Troy You will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois Roll on blacktop highway In circles towards the sun Springfield's in the distance, and that's the last big one After that comes judgment, Yeah and judgment will be swift You will be eliminated, But here's a parting gift: Oh and if you die fearing God And painfully employed No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois

    Morning Kristine.... This one goes out to Stan the cat.... Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now Don't it feel like something from a dream Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this Don't it feel like tonight might never be again We know better than to try and pretend Baby no one could'a ever told me 'bout this I said yeah yeah [Chorus:] The waiting is the hardest part Every day you see one more card You take it on faith, you take it to the heart The waiting is the hardest part Well yeah i might have chased a couple women around All it ever got me was down Then there were those that made me feel good But never as good as I'm feeling right now Baby you're the only one that's ever known how To make me wanna live like I wanna live now I said yeah yeah [Chorus:] The waiting is the hardest part Every day you get one more yard You take it on faith, you take it to the heart The waiting is the hardest part Oh don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool Don't let this go too far Don't let it get to you

    Poster Gewee has given a REALLY good rundown on Chicago points of interest in the 'Guide to Chicago' thread. A good list of places to eat (including the vegan recommendations that I couldn't give rgr.) I'd take the poster down the line, MissReddin, with a grain of salt; there is a CLARK COUNTY in Illinois, but that's a way's away in Southern Illinois. Chicago is in COOK County. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!!

    @One More Day...
    I find myself alive.... One more day to patch my sails, and shine my rails... Packing list is ready.... On my way to the mines Coffe is brewed.... Happy Hump Day...so hump like theres no tomorrow and now for the final time...Supper IS Ready Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off. Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right. ...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue Hey my baby don't you know our love is true. Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies. Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright, Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly. The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand. ...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you. Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true. I've been so far from here, Far from your warm arms. It's good to feel you again, It's been a long long time. Hasn't it? [The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man] I know a farmer who looks after the farm. With water clear, he cares for all his harvest. I know a fireman who looks after the fire. You, can't you see he's fooled you all. Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all. Share his peace, Sign the lease. He's a supersonic scientist, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. Look, look into my mouth he cries, And all the children lost down many paths, I bet my life you'll walk inside Hand in hand, gland in gland With a spoonful of miracle, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary. We will rock you, rock you little snake, We will keep you snug and warm. [Ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men] Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest, We walked across the fields to see the children of the West, But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors standing still below the ground, Waiting for battle. The fight's begun, they've been released. Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang... And they're giving me a wonderful potion, 'Cos I cannot contain my emotion. And even though I'm feeling good, Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule. Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate. The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord. [How Dare I Be So Beautiful?] Wandering through the chaos the battle has left, We climb up a mountain of human flesh, To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life. A young figure sits still by a pool, He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool. (He is you) Social Security took care of this lad. We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower. A flower? [Willow Farm] If you go down to Willow Farm, to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies, like the fox on the rocks, and the musical box. Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad, and everyone's happy to be here. There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag. The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird. (Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail) Hadn't you heard? (They're going to change you into a human being!) Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese, and wonderfully clean in the morning. We've got everything, we're growing everything, We've got some in We've got some out We've got some wild things floating about Everyone, we're changing everyone, you name them all, We've had them here, And the real stars are still to appear. ALL CHANGE! Feel your body melt; Mum to mud to mad to dad Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office, You're all full of ball. Dad to dam to dum to mum Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing, You're all full of ball. Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes. Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa Momma I want you now. And as you listen to my voice To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause. You've been here all the time, Like it or not, like what you got, You're under the soil (the soil, the soil), Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!). So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang and all of us fit in our places. [Apocalypse In 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet)] With the guards of Magog, swarming around, The Pied Piper takes his children underground. Dragons coming out of the sea, Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me. He brings down the fire from the skies, You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes. Better not compromise. It won't be easy. 666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul. Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune. And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue, Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true, I've been so far from here, Far from your loving arms, Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine. [As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet)] Can't you feel our souls ignite Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night, Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows We have finally been freed to get back home. There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice, "This is the supper of the mighty one", Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Has returned to lead his children home, To take them to the new Jerusalem.

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

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.

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
