Sunset Grill - Don Henley

 

Lets go down to the sunset grill

We can watch the working girls go by

Watch the basket people walk around and

Mumble

And stare out at the auburn sky

Theres an old man there from the old world

To him, its all the same

Calls all his customers by name

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

You see a lot more meanness in the city

Its the kind that tears you up inside

Hard to come away with anything that feels

Like dignity

Hard to get home with any pride

These days a man makes you somethin

And you never see his face

But there is no hiding place

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

Respectable little murders pay

They get more respectable every day

Dont worry girl, Im gonna stick by you

And someday soon were gonna get in that

Car and get outta here

Lets go down to the sunset grill

Watch the working girls go by

Watch the basket people walk around and

Mumble

And gaze out at the auburn sky

Maybe well leave come springtime

Meanwhile, have another beer

What would we do without these jerks

Anyway?

Besides, all our friends are here

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

Down at the sunset grill

Donna Fargo - Manhattan Kansas

 

Manhattan Kansas ain't no place to have a baby

When you got no man to give it his last name

And the folks back in Manhattan

didn't want me or my bundle

So I took my child and caught an evening train.

 

And I found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner

At least it buys the baby milk to drink

He once told me I was pretty

but the only ring it got me

Is the ring of grease that runs around the sink

 

Yes I laid beside him gentle

cause he told me that he loved me

And he made me dance before the music played

 

But at least I didn't beg him

I'd rather wash my dishes

Cuz' it makes me feel as if my hands're clean

 

Sometimes I stand here thinkin'

bout a man back home in Kansas

And how the folks just turned away ashamed

And I stare down through the soap suds

reach down and pull the drain plug

And watch it as Manhattan floats away

 

Yes I laid beside him gentle

cause he told me that he loved me

And he made me dance before the music played

 

But at least I didn't beg him

I'd rather wash my dishes

Cuz' it makes me feel as if my hands're clean

.

Drivin' with your eyes closed - Don Henley

 

met a frenchman in a field last night

He was out there with an easel,

Painting carnival light

He said, I used to paint the princess;

I used to paint the frogs

Now I paint mustaches on dangerous dogs

He said, sometimes its a country;

Sometimes its a girl

You, everybody got to have a purpose

In this world

You yankees are so silly about matters of

The heart

Dont you know that women are the only

Works of art

Youre drivin with your eyes closed

Youre drivin with your eyes closed

Youre drivin with your eyes closed

Youre gonna hit somethin

But thats the way it goes

Some guys were born to rimbaud

Some guys breathe baudelaire

Some guys just got to go and put

Their rockets everywhere

You can breed em by the thousands;

You can trick and you can train

Just look at all those poor dogs that are

Dragged down bu the seine

How many arrows must I shoot into the

Blue?

Ah, you little maniac, Im crazy over you

Before the dearth of lovers and

The punishment of pride

Lets go scrape out on the terrazzo

Its just to hot outside

Youre drivin with your eyes closed

Youre drivin with your eyes closed

Youre drivin with your eyes closed

Youre gonna hit somethin

But thats the way it goes

Talk talk, talk and talk

Talk talk, sweet talk

Talk talk, tough talk

Talk talk, dirty talk

Talk talk, walk and talk

Talk talk, big talk

Kiss kiss, kiss

Talk talk, talk and talk

Talk talk, smooth talk

Talk talk, body talk

Talk talk, back talk

Talk talk, small talk

Talk talk, baby talk

Talk talk, peace talk

Talk talk, bullshit

The Who - Gettin' in Tune

 

I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well

With the chords I'm playing

I can't pretend there's any meaning here

Or in the things I'm saying

 

But I'm in tune

Right in tune

I'm in tune

And I'm gonna tune

Right in on you

Right in on you

Right in on you

 

I get a little tired of having to say

"Do you come here often?"

But when I look in your eyes and see the harmonies

And the heartaches soften

 

I'm getting in tune

Right in tune

I'm in tune

And I'm gonna tune

Right in on you (right in on you)

Right in on you (right in on you)

Right in on you

 

I've got it all here in my head

There's nothing more needs to be said

I'm just bangin' on my old piano

I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow

(Getting in tune to the straight and narrow)

Getting in tune to the straight and narrow

(Getting in tune to the straight and narrow)

Yeah, I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow

(Getting in tune to the straight and narrow)

 

I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well

With the way I'm feeling

There's a symphony that I hear in your heart

Sets my head a-reeling

 

But I'm in tune

Right in tune

I'm in tune

And I'm gonna tune

Right in on you (right in on you)

Right in on you (right in on you)

Right in on you

 

Baby, with you

Baby, with you

Baby, with you

Baby, with you

Baby, with you

 

I've got it all here in my head

There's nothing more needs to be said

I'm just bangin' on my old piano

I'm getting in tune with the straight and narrow

 

Getting in tune to the straight and narrow (repeat)

Outstanding Man!

 

Freddy Fender Take a letter Maria

 

 

Last night as I got home about a half past ten

There was the woman I thought I knew

In the arms of another man

I kept my cool, I ain't no fool

Let me tell you what happened then

I packed some clothes and I walked out

And I ain't going back again

 

[Chorus:]

So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife

Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life

So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife

Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

 

You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me

And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me

Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life

All work and no play has just cost me a wife

 

[Chorus]

 

When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand

That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man

I never really noticed how sweet you are to me

It just so happens I'm free tonight

Would you like to have dinner with me

 

[Chorus]

 

So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife

[snafu]

Wow I can't believe I've never posted a J Geils Band song!

 

 

J. Geils Band Centerfold

 

 

Does she walk?

Does she talk?

Does she come complete?

My homeroom homeroom angel always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes, no one could ever stain

The memory of my angel could never cause me pain

Years go by, I'm looking through a girlie magazine

And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between

(Chorus)

My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold

My angel is a centerfold

Angel is a centerfold

My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold

Angel is a centerfold

Slipping notes, under the desk

While I was thinking about her dress

I was shy, I turned away, before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes whenever she flashed those baby blues

Something had a hold on me when Angel passed close by

Those soft fuzzy sweaters, too magical to touch

To see her in that neglige is really just too much.

(Chorus)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah (x3)

Now listen:

It's okay, I understand

This ain't no never-never land

I hope that when this fish is gone

I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take your car, yes we will, we'll take your car and drive it

Take it to a motel room, and take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been wrecked

The pages from my mind are stripped

Oh no, I can't deny it

Oh yeah, I guess I got to buy it

(Chorus)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Alright!

Alright!

1, 2, 3, 4...

Nah nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah (x4)

My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold

My angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold

My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold

My angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold

Nah nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

(repeat to fade...)

 

This is one of many good songs!!

Hoobastank The Reason

 

 

i'm not a perfect person. there are many things i wish i didnt do

but i continue learning. i never meant to do those things to you.

and so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know

 

i've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be

a reason to start over new, and the reason is you

 

i'm sorry that i hurt, its something i must live with everyday

and all the pain i put you through, i wish that i could take it all away

and be the one who catches all your tears, thats why i need you to hear

 

i'm not a perfect person, i never meant to do those things to you

and so i have to say before i go that i just want you to know

 

i've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be

a reason to start over new, and the reason is you

i've found a reason to show a side of me you didnt know

a reason for all that i do, and the reason is you

Evanescence

 

My Immortal

 

 

I'm so tired of being here.

supressed by all my childish fears.

And if you have to leave,

I wish that you would just leave.

cause your presence still lingers here,

and it won't leave me alone.

 

These wounds won't seem to heal,

this pain is just too real,

there's just too much that time cannot erase.

 

 

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.

And I held your hand through all of these years.

But you still have...

 

All of me.

 

You used to captivate me by your resonating light,

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.

Your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams

Your voice has chased away all the sanity in me.

 

These wounds won't seem to heal,

this pain is just too real,

there's just too much that time cannot erase.

 

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.

And I held your hand through all of these years.

But you still have...

 

 

All of me.

 

I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.

But though you're still with me,

I've been alone all along.

 

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.

And I held your hand through all of these years.

But you still have...

 

All of me.

[angie]

I do love that song..

Me too. Great tune.

[snafu]

Me too. Great tune.

I think it great too. I played it three times last night. I'm trying to memorize the lyrics.

The Beach Boys Kokomo

 

Aruba Jamaica ooo I wanna take you

Bermuda Bahama come on pretty mama

Key Largo Montego baby why don't we go

Jamaica

 

Off the Florida Keys

There's a place called Kokomo

That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

 

Bodies in the sand

Tropical drink melting in your hand

We'll be falling in love

To the rhythm of a steel drum band

Down in Kokomo

 

Aruba Jamaica ooo I wanna take you

To Bermuda Bahama come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

 

Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo

We'll get there fast

And then we'll take it slow

That's where we wanna go

Way down to Kokomo

 

To Martinique, that Monserrat mystique

 

We'll put out to sea

And we'll perfect our chemistry

By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity

 

Afternoon delight

Cocktails and moonlit nights

That dreamy look in your eye

Give me a tropical contact high

Way down in Kokomo

 

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you

To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

 

Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo

We'll get there fast

And then we'll take it slow

That's where we wanna go

Way down to Kokomo

 

Port Au Prince I wanna catch a glimpse

 

Everybody knows

A little place like Kokomo

Now if you wanna go

And get away from it all

Go down to Kokomo

 

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you

To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Santa Monica Theory of a Deadman

 

She fills my bed with gasoline

You think I woulda noticed

Her mind's made up, the love is gone

I think someone's trying to show us a sign

That even if we thought it would last

The moment would pass

My bones will break and my heart will give

Oh it hurts to live

 

I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica

You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything

I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica

I remember the day you told me it's over

 

It hurts to breathe

Every time that you're not next to me

Her mind's made up, the girl is gone

And now I'm forced to see

I think I'm on my way, Oh it hurts to live today

Oh and she says

[angie]

Led Zepplin~Ramble On

 

Leaves are falling all around,

Its time I was on my way.

Thanks to you, Im much obliged

For such a pleasant stay.

 

But now its time for me to go,

The autumn moon lights my way.

For now I smell the rain,

And with it pain,

And its headed my way.

Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,

But I know Ive got one thing I got to do,

 

Ramble on,

And nows the time, the time is now

To sing my song.

Im goin round the world,

I got to find my girl, on my way.

Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,

Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

 

Got no time to for spreadin roots,

The time has come to be gone.

And tho our health we drank a thousand times,

Its time to ramble on.

 

Ramble on,

And nows the time, the time is now

To sing my song.

Im goin round the world,

I got to find my girl, on my way.

Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,

Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

 

I aint tellin no lie.

 

Mines a tale that cant be told,

My freedom I hold dear;

How years ago in days of old

When magic filled the air,

Twas in the darkest depths of mordor

I met a girl so fair,

But gollum, and the evil one crept up

And slipped away with her.

Her, her....yea.

Aint nothing I can do, no.

 

Ramble on,

And nows the time, the time is now

To sing my song.

Im goin round the world,

I got to find my girl, on my way.

Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,

Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

 

Gonna ramble on, sing my song

Gotta keep-a-searchin for my baby...

Gonna work my way, round the world

I cant stop this feelin in my heart

Gotta keep searchin for my baby

I cant find my bluebird!

Id listen to my bluebird sing but I cant find my blue bird

A-keep-a ramblin baby...

Immortal Technique

 

"The 4th Branch"

 

[Talking]

The new age is upon us

And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave

For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man

shall stand before God!!! It has begun

The beginning of the end

Yeah..

Yeah... yeah, yeah

 

[Verse 1]

The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish

A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist

Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond

And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran

They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam

When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran

This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings

Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings

I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish

The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ

You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white

Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy

Conservative political right wing, ideology

Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation

Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination

Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration

How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?

Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves

Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm

You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?

Human rights violations, we continue the saga

El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua

And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison

Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

 

[Hook]

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Read about the history of the place that we live in

And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

 

[Verse 2]

Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs

Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage

The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage

Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension

And they refuse to even mention, European intervention

Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams

U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's

Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams

Media censorship, blocking out the video screens

A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain

Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'

The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason

A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'

And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom

Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon

It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib

Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid

Where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live

I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life

But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique

Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks

You don't give a fuck about us, I can see through your facade

Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God

Bitch niggaz scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

 

[Hook]

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you

While you hanging your flag out your project window

 

[Talking]

Yeah..

The fourth branch of the government AKA the media

Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials

As if their opinion was at all unbiased

A machine shouldn't speak for men

So shut the fuck up you mindless drone!

And you know it's serious

When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign

To try to convince you they're fair and balanced

When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people

Giving that type of mentality a safe haven

We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do

We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!

We don't get weapons contracts, nigga!

We don't get cheap labor for our companies, nigga!

We are cheap labor, nigga!

Turn off the news and read, nigga!

Read... read... read...

 

Watch/listen to it here boi.
