Bad Company - Shooting Star​

Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do I think it was
And from there it didn't take him long

Got himself a guitar
Used to play every night
Now he's in a rock and roll outfit
and everything's all right
Don't ya know

Johnny told his mama
Hey, Mama, I'm going away
I'm gonna hit the big time
Gonna be a big star someday

Momma came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said "Don't cry Momma,
Smile and wave goodbye."
Don't you know

Chorus)
Don't you know
That you are a shooting star,..(don't you know, don't you know)
Don't you know that you are
A Shooting Star
And all the world will love you
Just as long..as long as you are?

Johnny made a record
Went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by
Surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him
And said "Well I made the big time at last."

(chorus)
a shooting star.,....

(chorus)

Johnny died one night
Died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets
By his head

Johnny's life passed him
by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind
You can still hear him play

Don't you know,...

U2 - All I want is you

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say youll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say youll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...

Honeymoon Suite - New Girl Now

Hot summer night
Storm lies in the air
My eyes are a little heavy
I'm feeling in the past tense
I'm hardly aware

I don't want you on the phone
don't you play that good girl with me
Why must I always say it again

I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
And she's a lot like you

I tried to wash my face
But my head fell to low
I tried to bury myself
But my mind wouldn't stay at home

I don't care if you're sitting at home
somebody has broken into me
Why must I always say it again

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
And she's a lot like you

I don't want you on the phone
don't you play good girl with me
Why must I always say it again

I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
I've got a new girl now
And she's a lot like you

For Atlantic....


Thanks Sweetie!! My eyes roamin'

 

[wez]

This one seems appropriate for my new found freedom!!

For Cool Dude...


Freebird... Lenny Skinny

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
cause theres too many places Ive got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I cant change.
But please dont take it badly,
cause lord knows Im to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
Cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird youll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Lord help me, I cant change.

 

[RoyalOrleans]

This one seems appropriate for my new found freedom!!

It's also an appropriate redneck anthem.

 

[wez]

You old softie. I can tell you now you won't like it.

You gotta be crazy... You'll like it if you like Sabbath.. Soungarden... Heavy, tasty guitar riffs... Yeah baby, drop D tuning!!!

It's also an appropriate redneck anthem.

Great classic, my friend and jailor.

 

[wez]

Cool dude, Hows your ass feel?

The south ain't only the bible belt... Kangaroo court capital of the world.

 

[snafu]

It rocks.. check it out.

Okay good rythim and good quitar licks. The lyics still suck. I won't be putting in my list of songs but it was better than I expected. It must be one of those songs that have to grow on you.

The only Garth Brooks song I have ever liked! It's done to the tune of an old Irish melody slowed a beat or two.

"Ireland"

good story line. Song sucks though.

Idiot in the box ~ Wez & Alice in Chains..

I think you need to make that your theme song.LOL

Bad Company - Shooting Star​

Classic! I love that song. Makes you want to pick up the quitar and make something of yourself.

Another " I wish I was a rock-n-roll star" song

R.E.O. Speedwagon Rock and Roll Star


I was just a boy when the river ran dry
And I can still remember my mama cry
She said "Son leave as fast as you can
But don't waste your life in this rock n' roll band"

I saw the light and left as fast as I could
I knew deep down it was gonna do me good
So I threw my Fender in an old friend's car
I knew I'd come home a rock n'roll star

So we hit the road but the road hit back
We thought we'd take the world with a hit and run attack
Now I'm center stage but it feels bizarre
Despite new cars and caviar

An overnight success created by the press
But they'll eat you up if you show them any stress
So I lick my wounds and I hide my scars
The whole world thinks I'm a rock n' roll star

Rock n' roll star, rock n' roll star
That's what they call you
That's not what you are
Rock n' roll star, rock n' roll star
I still wanna be a rock n' roll star

So we got a break in our whirlwind tour
I called home said I'm comin home for sure
I'm tired of hurry up, make the plane, jump in the car
I'm home on loan, I'm a rock n' roll star

 

[wez]

Okay good rythim and good quitar licks. The lyics still suck. I won't be putting in my list of songs but it was better than I expected. It must be one of those songs that have to grow on you.

Good when you wanna say **** you, I wont do what you tell me!!!

Yeah lyrics ain't nothing to write home about, straight ahead anger at hypocrites.

I love it for the guitar mainly..

Really, the lyrics are quite appropriate though.. they really wanna drive the message home, and they do...

Listen to it a few times in a row, it gets you in the mood..

What else is cool, the way they repeat it over and over symbolizes the way we are brainwashed. Over and over and over and over......Now you're under control.


Hey mods, I figured it out, you won't need to combine my rantings anymore.

 

[RoyalOrleans]

Hey mods, I figured it out, you won't need to combine my rantings anymore.

I will continue to merge your posts when you make more than two consecutive posts with no reply. That is unless, you are posting something so huge that it can not be contained in one post.

 

[RoyalOrleans]

Great classic, my friend and jailor.

In the trailer park or mobile home community... there are many classics.

Such as...

Sweet Home Alabama
Born To Be Wild
Magic Carpet Ride
and anything by Charlie Daniels.

 

[snafu]

And I can't forget atantic! You and me think way to much the same. good songs!

Dr. Hook Livin next door to Alice

Sally called, when she got the word,
She said "I suppose you've heard.... about Alice."
So I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes,
As a big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive.

Oh I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)

We grew up together, two kids in the park,
Carved our initials deep in the bark......
Me and Alice.
Now she walks to the door with her head held high,
And just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive.

Oh I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)

Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
She said "I know how to help...., get over Alice."
She said "Now, Alice is gone, but I'm still here.
And you know I've been waiting twenty four years.........."
And the big limousine disappeared.......

I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice.
(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)

Now, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

Here's some good lyrics for the thinking man...Scott Weiland is one deep herion addict.

Vasoline~STP

One time a thing occured to me
Whats real, and whats for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home

It isnt you, isnt me
Search for things that you cant see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vaseline

Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think Id be safer all alone
Flys in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time

Youll see the look and youll see the lies
Youll eat the lies, and you will.

It isnt you, isnt me
Search for things that you cant see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline.

 

[wez]

Creep~STP... another good one.


Forward yesterday
Makes me wanna stay
What they said was real
Makes me wanna steal
Livin under house
Guess Im livin, Im a mouse
Alls I gots is time
Got no meaning, just a rhyme

Take time with a wounded hand
cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
cause I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

Im half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, Im half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, Im half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, Im half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be

Feelin uninspired
Think Ill start a fire
Everybody run
Bobbys got a gun
Think youre kinda neat
Then she tells me Im a creep
Friends dont mean a thing
Guess Ill leave it up to me

Take time with a wounded hand
cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

Im half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Im half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Im half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Im half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be

Take time with a wounded hand
cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

Im half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Im half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Im half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Im half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be,
Half the man I used to be

One more from our herion addicted friend...


Plush~STP


And I feel that times a waste at go
So where ya going to tommorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And I feel it

Where ya going for tommorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And she feels it

Where ya going to tommorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it

Where ya going for tommorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
To find it
To find it
To find it

Fade Into You by Mazzy Star


I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of light into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.


Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew


A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart


Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

Drill Ye Terriers


Every morning at 7 o'clock
There's twenty terriers a workin at the rock
And the boss comes along and he says, keep still
And come down heavy on the cast iron drill

So drill ye terriers drill
And drill ye terriers drill
Oh it's work all day for sugar in your tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill ye terriers drill

Our new foreman is Dan McCann
I'll tell you sure, he's a blame mean man
Last week a premature blast went off
And a mile in the air went Big Jim Goff

So drill ye terriers drill
And drill ye terriers drill
Oh it's work all day for sugar in your tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill ye terriers drill

Next time payday comes around
Jim Goff was short one brick he found
What for? says he and this reply
You're docked for the time you were up in the sky

So drill ye terriers drill
And drill ye terriers drill
Oh it's work all day for sugar in your tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill ye terriers drill.
