Dedicate A Sly & The Family Stone Tune To A Orger

Mines will be to Ms. Psychodelicide

I know she's very fond of this tune .

For you Nan!! biggrin


Pretty, pretty, pretty as a picture
Witty, witty, witty as you can be
Blind 'cause your eyes see only glitter
Closed to the things that make you free

Ever stop to think about a downfall?
Happens at the end of every line
Just when you think you've pulled a fast one
Happens to the foolish all the time

Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you

Games are to be played with toys, et cetera
Love is to be made when you for real
Ups and downs are caused by life in general
Some are yours no matter how you feel

Shady as a lady in a moustache
Feelings camoflaged by groans and grins
Secrets have a special way about them
Movin' to and fro among your friends

Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you

Live it up today, if you want to
Livin' down tomorrow afternoon
Sunday school don't make you cool forever
Neither does the silver of your spoon

The nicer the nice, the higher the price
This is what you pay for, what you need
The higher the price, the nicer the nice
Jealous people like to see you bleed

Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you

Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching you...

Mach

For Tisse


Sunday morning, I forgot my prayer
I should have been happy, I still be there
Something could have come and taken me away
But the main man felt Syl should be here another day

That's why I got to be
Thankful yeah, yeah
I gotta be
Thoughtful
Ah ha thankful
You gotta be
thoughtful

From my ankle to the top of my head
I've taken my chances, hah, I could have been dead
I started climbing from the bottom, oh yeah
All the way to the top, ah huh
Before I knew it, I was up there
You believe it or not, yeah

Thankful
Thoughtful
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Thankful
Thoughtful

Oh, something gets me, hah, put my head on tight
Because I know the future everything'll be alright
Until then I'll kick back and let the light shine
Remember all yours coulda been all mine

That's why you ought to be thankful
Hah, hah, you ought to be thoughtful
Thankful
Thoughtful

Middle of stream, hah, I had to change my stroke
I say I put it on the good foot, ha, and it ain't no joke
They said I was dyin', I didn't want to go
I kept on feelin' I had to live some more
I had somethin' to tell y'all

To be thankful
Y'all oughta be thoughtful
Thankful
Thoughtful

Still rectifying, straightening things out
I know what a good feelin', you're never in doubt
Sometimes I'm by myself, oh lord, feelin' alone
I just look around and check it out and then it's all gone
I'm still happy to be here

Thankful
Thoughtful
Count your blessings

My Momma gave me a song and said "Son sing
Record thankful and thoughtful, be such a nice thaing
People got to be reminded where it's really at
Make your Daddy happy"
Momma, momma like it like that

You know I know you know I know
I'm thankful you know I'm thoughtful

purplerein

you know who you are..
If you want me to stay,
I'll be around today,
to be available for you to see.

But I am about to go,
And then you'll know,
For me to stay here I got to be mean.

You'll never be in doubt,
That's what it's all about,
You can't take it for granted it's mine.

Get home and please and don't
Forget to reach me by phone
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while.

And when you see me again,
I hope that you have been,
The kind of person....that you really are now.

Got to get in straight,
How could I ever be late,
When you're my woman taking up my time.

Whoa, oh how could you ever allow,
I guess I wonder how,
How could you pick out your pockets of fun. HOW HOW!!

Well you know that you'll never know tooooo,
Number one's gonna be number one,
ohh oww oohh

I'll be good,
I wish I could
I get this message over to you now.

ahhh, yeah, message, mmmm

When you see me again,
I hope that you have been,
The kind of person you really are now.

I'll be so good, oh
I wish I could,
I get this message over to you now.

ahhh, yeah
