By request, a gathering spot for Chicago-bound folks to connect and plan!
@RIP
I'm a Nick Cave fan also. Here's one of the best................
"Red Right Hand"
Take a little walk to the edge of town
and go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
in the humming wires
Hey man, you know
you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
a tall handsome man
in a dusty black coat with
a red right hand
He'll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul,
but there won't be a single thing
that you can do
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
is a red right hand
You don't have no money?
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one
You don't have no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
'cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand
@ tough all around
RIP Arthur... poor Nick.
Here's my tribute:
It's up in the morning and on the downs
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
His throat it trembles when he sings
For he is helpless before you
The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your mind
Still your soul
For still, the fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you
The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
The fox chases the rabbit round
The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things they stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your soul
Still your mind
Still, the fire of love is true
And I am breathless without you
@ and that's all I gotta say about that....
Would you know my nameIf I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Way out there in the cottonSun beatin' down so hard
Sweat rollin' of this shovel
Diggin' in the devil's boneyard
Sure like a cool drink of water
Soft rag to soothe my face
Sure like a woman to talk to in this place
It's a hundred and ten
Hundred and ten in the shade
Goin' way down
Mama won't you carry me
Handle so hot I can't stand it
Might shrivel up and blow away
Noonday sun make you crazy
Least, that's what the old men say
Bottom land hard as a gravestone
Couldn't cut it with an axe
Gonna lay me down right here
And that's a fact
It's a hundred and ten
Hundred and ten in the shade
Goin' way down
Mama won't you carry me
Sometimes late in the evenin'
Everything is quiet and still
I set here and think about leavin'
Lord, I guess I never will
Heartache down in that city
Bright light scares me anyway
Sure like a woman to talk in this place
It's a hundred and ten
Hundred and ten in the shade
Goin' way down
Mama won't you carry me
@ ready to roll
Hey there, happy Friday!
Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot, you wish your tired feet were fireproof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk
From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Mmm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk

@can you dig it, yes I can.....
I've been waiting such a long time.....
Gonna sit down in the kitchen
And fix me something good to eat
And make my head a little high
And make this whole day complete
Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
And put a good buzz on
Well pass it to me baby
Pass it to me slow
We'll take time out to smile a little
Before we let it go
Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
And put a good buzz on
Well there ain't nothin' to do
And there's always room for more
Fill it, light it, shut up
And close the door
Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
And put a good buzz on
We gonna sit around the kitchen
Fix us somethin' good to eat
And make ourselves a little high
And make the whole day complete
Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
And put a good buzz on
Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
And put a good buzz on
Grazing in the grass...it's a gas.....
@Winning
The best part of all of us winning, as most of us are just having a good time, not even knowing there is a contest. A Race? Cool!
Anybody know if 11/4 time can be considered a waltz? And what song did Bobby use it in the very first time?
Ding! We win again!
Yabba dabba dooo later than sooner.
Carry on, wayward or not, and please turn up the bass...
more a game...
...than contest.
But, the Edwards was such a sublime choice, that I had to stand down (having already used Illegal Smile in a previous tussle. :-))
@ everynight and day if I can help it!
oh man, that's beautiful...pass it to me slow.
You better do as you were told, you better listen to the radio!
Radio.
Radio.
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly.
Radio.
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio, Radio.
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio, Radio.
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Someone still loves you!
Radio ga ga [3x]
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio, Radio.
@hey Poobah! Happy Friday.....
ba dus is idling and pointed at NYC....just a hunch....but an educated one....
Glad you feel comfortable here, Miami is ok with the arrangements....
Carlos + the core 4 = road trip
One day I was on the ground
When I needed a hand
And it couldn't be found
I was so far down
That I couldn't get up
You know and
One day I was one of life's losers
Even my friends were my ac-cus-ers
And in my head
Lost before I'd begun
I had a dream
But it turned to dust
What I thought was love
That must have been lust
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
When I played my hand
I looked like a joker
Turn around
Fate must have woke her
'Cause lady luck she was
Waiting outside the door
[Chorus:]
I'm winning
I'm winning
I'm winning
And I don't intend on losing again
Too bad it belonged to me
It was the wrong time
And I meant to be
It took a long time
And I knew for now
I can see the day
That I breath for
Friends agree there's a need
To play the game
And to win again
tuning...
I was tuning in the shine on the light night dialDoing anything my radio advised
With every one of those late night stations
Playing songs bringing tears to my eyes
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
When the switch broke 'cause it's old
They're saying things that I can hardly believe
They really think we're getting out of control
Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio
I wanna bite the hand that feeds me
I wanna bite that hand so badly
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me
Some of my friends sit around every evening
And they worry about the times ahead
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
And the promise of an early bed
You either shut up or get cut up, they don't wanna hear about it
It's only inches on the reel-to-reel
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
Tryin' to anaesthetise the way that you feel
Wonderful radio
Marvelous radio
Wonderful radio
Radio, radio
@fine tuned......
;-)
Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear, but you're not really here
It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you, I really do
Loneliness is such a sad affair, and I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say, to make you come again?
Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar
Hey guys, I just made myself cry.......love that song....
@ a friend indeed
Did someone say roadtrip? Buckle up Sarge!
If there's one thing
in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool
And bright clear water
Lots of those friendly people
They're showing me ways to go
And I never want to
Lose their inspiration
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
Well, I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales
They are my brothers
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
I've never been romantic
And sometimes, I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air
Yeah, yeah
Let me breathe the air
If there's one thing
In my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool
And bright clear water
It's kind of a special feeling
Out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon
Like a lover
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
(Time for a cool change)
It's time, it's time
It's time, it's time
For a cool, cool change
(Time for a cool change)
I know it's time for a cool change
(Time for a cool change)
Now that my life is so prearranged
Well, I know, I know
I know, I know
(Time for a cool change)
It's time for a cool change
Yes, it is, yes, it is yes, it is
You know it's time for a cool change
@on the road again!
I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
and every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace
I'm going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
@ superstar
Sonic youth has a haunting version of that song which I adore.
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me, go
Yeah go but remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky babe
Yeah, you got lucky babe
When I found you-
You put a hand on my cheek
And then you turn your eyes away
If you don't feel complete
If I don't take you all of the way, go
Yeah go, but remember good love
Is hard to find
You got lucky babe
Yeah you got lucky
When I found you
@Ellie Mae....

Hey listen mister
I need some place to stay tonight
A small hotel will do just fine
Give me directions please
I think I'll find my way alright
I'm only passin' through this time
'Cause there's a long road ahead and
A lot to leave behind
There's a Long Road Ahead
Gonna leave it all Leave it all
Leave it all behind
It's been a long time since I've had a bite to eat
So can you spare me a quarter
I've walked a thousand miles
I need to soothe my tired feet and That's the gospel truth mister
'Cause there's a long road ahead and
A lot to leave behind
There's a Long Road Ahead
Genna leave it all Leave it all
Leave it all behind
rgr, that!
Been out on the road'Bout six months too long
I want you so bad
I can hardly stand it
I'm so tired
And I'm all alone
We'll soon be together
And that's it
I'm comin' home
To your love
Hitchhiking on the turnpike
All day long
Nobody seemed to notice
They just pass me on by
To keep from going crazy
I got to sing my song
Got a whole lot of lovin'
And baby that's why
I'm comin' home
To your love
Comin' home, yeah
Comin' home
Comin' home
Comin' home
@Motel Shot.....
found the LP for 25 cents back in 1980..... In my top 5 ever since.....along with Abbey Road, Layla....and two others.....
Stan, I think we are Siamese twins separated at birth....
I was standing by the window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
To carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better home a waiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
I said to the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For that body you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go
Well I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in that grave
I went back home Lord that home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
@ D & B
Kristine, I was gonna play comin home yesterday....
I've got a never-ending love for you
From now on that's all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never-ending love for you
(remaining verses—all voices, including "Friends")
I've got a never-ending love for you
From now on that's all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never-ending love for you
After all this time of bein' alone
We can love one another, give for each other
From now on (rest)
It's so good I can hardly stand it
Never-ending love for you
From now on that's all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd sing my never-ending song of love for you
(scat)
After all this time of bein' alone
We can love one another, live for each other
From now on (rest)
It's so good I can hardly stand it
Never-ending love for you
From now on that's al I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd sing my never-ending song of love for you
I've got a never-ending love for you
FADE: From now on that's all I want to do
@ K n H.......
nighttime in the switching yard here....
I will leave you with a Puppers choice.....
Only you know and I know
All the lovin' we've got to show
So don't refuse to believe it
By reading too many meanings
'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday
We're both here to be pleasin'
Oh, no, no, not deceivin'
But it's hard to believe in
Ah yeah, when you've been so mistreated
'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday
If I seem to mislead you
It's just my craziness comin' through
But when it comes down to just two
Ah, I ain't no crazier than you
'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know, oh yeah
Only you know and I know, oh yeah, get up
Have y'all a great weekend.....back Monday....God willing and the creek don't rise....
Holly keep ba dus in good shape, we may need it sooner rather than later.....
C'mon Sarge.....let's go for a walk......
more changes
I'm moving through some changes I'll never be the same
Something you did touched me
There's no one else to blame
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
We've given up pretending
As if you didn't care
Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes
I look into the mirror
I see no happiness
All the warmth I gave you
Has turned to emptiness
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
You've left me here believing
In love that wasn't there
Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise, well you get what's coming
One word can bring you round
Changes
But when I look into your eyes and try to find out how
There's no way to save it now and everything I feel
Changes
Keep looking for
Changes
Changes
For some reason you're questioning why
I always believe it gets better
One difference between you and I
Your heart is inside your head
One word from you, one word from me
A clear design on your liberty
Who could believe when love has gone
How we move on like everyone
Only such fools
Only such jealous hearts
Only through love changes come
Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes
One road to loneliness
It's always the same
One road to happiness
It's calling your name
Change changing places
Changes
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes
Change changing places
Changes
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise, well you get what's coming
One word, one word can bring you round
Changes
YES!
@ Goodnight and Good luck
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Here in STL ...it looks like rain.
Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart
I am a changed person
After meeting the SD group in person and experiencing the best concert experience I have ever been to, I have to admit I am the better man for it.
So many kind people, so much coolness and kindness and love.
I am the better man for it. So many amazing things went down, the vibe was one I have never felt before. So for someone to say that any of these were not Grateful Dead shows, it's all bullshit.
I was there, man, it was the dead in just about every aspect, in some ways it was way better than the mid-nineties scene. When I hear about people (like that jackass Terry Boers) bashing on this band or the event in general, I just laugh. Some people just don't get it. I get it, and I got it 10-fold at FTW, a fantastic spectacle it was...
I am so blessed to have been part of it...
@Isthmus....
Be our lucky day......
and we bid you goodnight....
But not before knocking boots one last time on ba dus......
I been around the world
I've seen a million girls
Ain't one of them got
What my lady she got
She stealin' the spotlight
Knocks me of my feet
She's enough to start a landslide
Just a walkin' down the street
Wearin' dresses so tight
And lookin' dynamite
About to blow me out
No doubt about it can't live without it
The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm)
The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm)
She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm)
The girls got rhythm
She's like a lethal brand
Too much for any man
She gives me first degree
She really satisfy me
Love me till I'm legless
Achin' and sore
Enough to stop a freight train
Or start the third world war
You know I'm losin' sleep
But I'm in too deep
Like a body needs blood
No doubt about it can't live without it
The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm)
The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm)
She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm)
The girls got rhythm
You know she move like sin
And when she let me in
It's like liquid love
No doubt about it can't live without it
The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm)
The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm)
She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm)
The girls got rhythm
You know she really got the rhythm (girls got rhythm)
She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm)
Rock 'n' roll rhythm (rock 'n' roll rhythm)
The girls got rhythm
rrrrrgrrrrr has lost his mind.....Sarge has left the building.....
@ Klang-alang
Hey buddy, I agree. I am a changed person as well. I met up with you folks to try to get a taste of the vibe and I got a whole soul full!
Those talking trash obviously are not as attune to the cosmic vibrations reverberating through Chicago that weekend as we.
Well I used to wake the mornin'
Before the rooster crowed
Searchin' for soda bottles
To get myself some dough
Brought 'em down to the corner
Down to the country store
Cash 'em in and give my money
To a man named Curtis Lowe
[Verse 2]
Old Curt was a black man
With white curly hair
When he had a fifth of wine
He did not have a care
He used to own an old Dobro
Used to play across his knee
I'd give old Curt my money
He'd play all day for me
[Chorus]
Play me a song Curtis Lowe, Curtis Lowe
Well I got your drinkin' money
Tune up your Dobro
People said he was a'useless
Them people all were fools
'Cause Curtis Lowe was the finest picker
To ever play the blues
[Verse 3]
Well he looked to be 60
Maybe I was 10
Momma used to whoop me
But I'd go see him again
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet
Tryin' to stay in time
Well he'd play me a song or two
Then take another drink of wine
[Chorus]
Play me a song Curtis Lowe, Curtis Lowe
Well I got your drinkin' money
Tune up your Dobro
People said he was a'useless
Them people all were fools
'Cause Curtis Lowe was the finest picker
To ever play the blues
[Verse 4]
On the day old Curtis died
Nobody came to pray
Old preacher said some words
And they chucked him in the clay
Well he lived a lifetime
Playin' the black man's blues
And on the day he lost his life
That's all he had to lose
[Chorus w/alternate ending]
Play me a song Curtis Lowe, yeah Curtis Lowe
I wish that you was here
So everyone would know
People said you was a'useless
But them people all were fools
'Cuz Curtis your the finest picker
To ever play the blues
@I went down to the Crossroads....
damn girl....
Ronnie Van Zant..RIP....
talk about a band who made a deal with the Devil.....
Shoulda asked the Lord above for Mercy.....
Take me if you please....
@ Have Mercy
I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, "Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you."
I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
I said, "Wait a minute, mister,
I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you."
[Chorus]
"Won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see me no more."
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
As the water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son,
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door
yes, please...
@hey you, yeah you!
Well, its 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho I'll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for later on tonight
I'll find a little queen
And I know I can treat her right.
[Chorus]
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?.
Back at the hotel
Lord we got such a mess
It seems that one of the crew
Had a go with one of the guests, oh yes
Well, the police said we can't drink in the bar
What a shame
Won't you come upstairs girl
And have a drink of champagne
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
For there ain't no shame.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
9 o'clock the next day
And I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride
To do one more show, oh no
Can I get you a taxi home
It sure was grand
When I come back here next year
I wanna see you again
What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Well there ain't no shame
What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?
That's right it's Miami or Ellie Mae....but I prefer Holly.....
@mercy on me
My baby she may not a-lookLike one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club
But she got somethin' much greater than gold
Crazy 'bout that girl 'cause she got so much soul
I said she got the kind of lovin'
Kissin' and a-huggin'
Sure is mellow
Glad that I'm her fellow and I know
That she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me
'Cause she knocks me off my feet
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do
My baby when she walks by
All the fellows go, ooooooo, and I know why
It's simply 'cause that girl she looks so fine
And if she ever leaves me
I would lose my mind
She got the kind of lovin'
Kissin' and a-huggin'
Sure is mellow
Glad that I'm her fellow and I know
That she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me
'Cause she knocks me off my feet, hey
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do
Yeah, everybody in the neighborhood
Will testify that my girl she looks so good
And she's so fine
She'd give eyesight to the blind
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
She got the kind of lovin'
Kissin' and a-huggin'
Sure is mellow
Glad that I'm her fellow and I know
That she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me
'Cause she knocks me off my feet
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do
Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel
Yeah, it's all right
Mercy, mercy
g'night from those true sons of Chicgoland, The Buckinghams...
have a good weekend, y'all
@Have Mercy Ms. Percy....
Well you're dirty and sweet, clad in blackDon't look back and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of a hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.
Chorus:
Get it on, bang the gong , get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
You're built like a car, you've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
You're an untamed youth that's the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.
how bout we all get a room.....
@ this bird you cannot change
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.
[Chorus:]
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
Oh won't you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
[Chorus]
Boy, don't you worry.
You'll find yourself.
Follow your heart,
And nothing else.
You can do this,
If you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
[Chorus]
Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
@get a room?
We don't need no stinkin' room.....
We got ba dus......
Cmon baby take a chance with us....
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end
@ no end in sight
Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Here come the men faces hidden from the light
All through the shadows they come and they go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
It happens out in Vegas happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right
And he's looking out for Rosie and she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy
And he'll find her everytime
When the street light flicker bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight
All through the midnight
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
@ still here
Who scared you? Why were you born, my babe?In two-time's arms with all of your charms, my love
Why were you born, just to play with me
To freak out or to be beautiful, my dear?
Load your head, blow it up, feeling good, baby
Load your head, blow it up, feeling good, baby, ah
Well, my room is so cold, you know you don't have to go, my babe
And if you warm it up right, I'm gonna love you tonight, my love
Well, I'm glad that we came, I hope you're feeling the same
Who scared you and why were you born?
Please stay
I see your rider coming down the road
Got a burden, carrying a heavy load
One sack of silver and one bag of gold
@Goodnight Irene......
Goodnight
Goodnight Irene (and Miami and Geo and Sarge and all you lurkers on ba dus) .....and the rest of you .....
I'll see you in my dreams......
countered with...
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,I think I see my friends coming, Riding many a mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?
Jane, get me off this crazy thing! arrrrghhhh!
@ bonne nuit
One more for the road... thanks for takin me through the workday. Next week same bat time same bat channel...
I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
In the sweet summertime
We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime
And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in
