The Drinking Song- Moxy Frouvous

And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred

He was a rock, to the end, a solid reminder
Couldn't deny a friend


We lived in the noise and the sweet amber poison
Peekin' up the skirt of the end

And we'd drink, two gnarly dudes and some records
Much like plates of black food


We filled up our faces, saw some far places

Stood on the roof in the nude


And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred


Between poles, he said "We're like cows in the grass"
Brushing off flies


Chaise lounging around, standing up, falling down


Till we no longer opened our eyes

And we'd drink, ever notice how drinking's like war?
Cup o' troops o'er the gums


To the end of our health, a campaign 'gainst myself


Armed with bourbons and scotches and rums


And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred


Think of bombs, we're poised on the edge of disaster
Whether it's right or it's wrong


We opened the window, played some Nintendo


Sang a few bars of some pretty old song:


Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene


I'll see you in my dreams

Oh to dream, those impotent bones of extinction
Flying graceful and free


None but the best 'cause the man cannot rest


Till he's finally beaten his me

And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred


Till the end, he passed out on the sundeck that morning
Quietly saying goodbye

But I was so hammered I sputtered and stammered

Told him he couldn't just die

He was a rock, went straight for his own Armageddon
Face froze in a grin


Ambulance flyin' in, I never drank again


Can't really call that a loss or a win


And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred

I can play that.

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Boy you know you make me float
Boy you really get me high
I feel like Im on dope
'Cause you
You serve me on a regular
Boy we need to tie this rope
Before we drift any deeper
There now hold me close
Lets take this overboard now

I want you to
(rock the boat)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat
(work it in the middle)
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle
(change positions on me)
Change positions, do positions
Now
(stroke it baby)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me

Ooooh baby I love your stroke
'Cause you, cause you get me to where I'm going
In a jury you'll get my vote
'Cause I believe, I believe you know just what you're doing now
Baby now we can coast
(let's coast, let's coast)
Just don't get in a hurry
But, that's too slow
Go ahead and put that thang in over-drive

I want you to
(rock the boat)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat
(work it in the middle)
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle
(change positions on me)
Change positions, do positions
Do positions, do positions
(now stroke it baby)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me

I need you to use yourself
Like you've never ever used to do before
To explore my body
Until you reach the shore
I'lll be calling, calling for more

(rock the boat)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat
(work it in the middle)
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle
(change positions for me)
Change positions, do positions
Do positions
(stroke it for me)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me

I want you to
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle, work the middle

Change positions, do positions
Do positions, do positions
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me

Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.

Hey woman, you got the blues, cos you aint got no one else to use.
Theres an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
Between here and there.
Theres a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha ha woman its a crying shame,
But you aint got no one else to blame.

Chorus
E-evil woman, e-evil woman, e-evil woman, evil woman

Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin in a daze,
Ha ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the lord gave you,
Its so good that youre feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.

Chorus:repeat

Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now youre tryin to wail a different song,
Ha ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you
Drink the cup,
I came runnin every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin in your eyes,
Ha ha very nice to know, that you aint got no place left to go.

Loving you
Isnt the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel

If I could
Maybe Id give you my world
How can i
When you wont take it from me

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do

If I could
Baby Id give you my world
Open up
Everythings waiting for you

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

i haven't heard that song in ages. i love that freakin' song.

You are a young man
And you're eager to seek
A way to let the world
Know what you think
The lesson learned
Is not taught in a school
You have to start out first
By being the fool

[Chorus:]
But I see changes
They happen every day
And I see change
Coming your way

You give your life away
For what in return
A chance to see your name
In lights, while you learn
Your manager is home
And working a way
To keep you on the road
And moving day to day

[Chorus]

You work yourself to death
So you can have a home
You put your money aside
To call it all your own
You finally save enough
And you think you're gonna advance
Turn around, there's Uncle Sam
He's got his hand down your pants

[Chorus 2x]

Maybe some change
Is all that we need
Change is coming to help us succeed
Change happens every day
Change happens every day
Change happens every day

Love is My Religion- Ziggy Marley


Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
I'll take you to the temple tonight

All my days I've been searching, to find out what this life is worth
through the books and bibles of time I've made up my mind
I don't condemn, I don't convert, this is a calling have you heard
bring all the lovers to the fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul

Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
hey you can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it

I don't want to fight, hey let's go fly a kite
there's nothing that we can't cure, and I'll keep you in my arms for sure
so don't let nobody stop us, free spirits have to soar
with you I share the gift, the gift that we now know oh oh oh

( Chorus )

Well I'm done searching now, I found out what this life is worth
not in the books that I find, but by searching my mind
I don't condemn, I don't convert
this is the calling have you heard, bring all the lovers to the fold
no one is gonna lose their soul

Motel-Dime Ven




se que me tocas sin ver
que te apareces detras de la pared
detras de mis recuerdos

siento las caricias de ayer
aquellos labios que busco sin saber
te quiero ver por dentro

y entre las llamadas busque
un mensaje oculto encontre
y es que quiero saber

dime que me crees
dime que me crees
dime que sientes cuando me ves
o cuando me voy
cuando no estoy
dime ven ven dime ven ven dime
dime otra vez nunca te olvide
dime que quieres volverme a ver
sin importar lo que vendra
dime ven ven dime ven ven dime

cada espacio
cada lugar
cada palabra inmortal que has repetido
grabo en mi cuerpo tu sonido
y cada ves que quiero so~ar
solo hace falta pensar en el inicio
y en lo que nos traira el destino

busco en las palabras la fe
las caricias fieles de ayer
por que quiero saber

dime que me crees
dime que me crees
dime que sientes cuando me ves
o cuando me voy
cuando no estoy
dime ven ven dime ven ven dime
dime otra vez nunca te olvide
dime que quieres volverme a ver
sin importar lo que vendra
dime ven ven dime ven ven dime

dime que me crees
dime que me crees
dime que sientes cuando me ves
o cuando me voy
cuando no estoy
dime ven ven dime ven ven dime
dime otra vez nunca te olvide
dime que quieres volverme a ver
sin importar lo que vendra
dime ven ven dime ven ven dime....

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

And I'll miss your laugh your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights I hate them
Lets start this again for real

So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

Cherish The Day

You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer
If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven

I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
You're ruling the way that I move
You take my air

You show me how deep love can be

You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer

I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away

You show me how deep love can be
You show me how deep love can be
This is my prayer

I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away
Won't shy

I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray

I Cherish the Day
I Cherish the Day
I Cherish the Day
I Cherish the Day
I Cherish the Day

Turn your ugly face
Are you so surprised to see me
Yeah i was your little childhood playground toy

And if i remember
Yeah if i do remember rightly
I said the tables would be turned around boy

Who's getting scared now
Tell me, tell me how does it feel
It feels so good from where im standing

The only times of my life
The sun was meant to shine for me
You made it pour down, pour down with tears of rain

Dug my pride with a knife
Encaged by your obsession with me
Time was mental torture and screams of justified pain

So ya gonna chase me now boy
Yeah ya gonna corner me now boy
You think ya gonna threaten me now boy
Somehow i dont think so

Yeah ya gonna stamp me down now boy
Yeah ya gonna crush me down now boy
You think ya gonna threaten me now boy
Somehow i dont think so

Who's getting scared now, tell me,
Tell me how does it feel
It feels so good from where im standing

Yeah youre getting scared now, piggy,
Go ahead and squeal
It sounds so nice from where im standing

Who's getting scared?
Who's getting scared now?

Ace said:

Ohh, how I love this song!

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live


When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Well it's Ninth and Hennepin
All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes
And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky
Like a tarp thrown all over this
And the broken umbrellas like dead birds
And the steam comes out of the grill
Like the whole goddamn town's ready to blow...
And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos
And everyone is behaving like dogs
And the horses are coming down Violin Road
And Dutch is dead on his feet
And all the rooms they smell like diesel
And you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept here
And I'm lost in the window, and I hide in the stairway
And I hang in the curtain, and I sleep in your hat...
And no one brings anything small into a bar around here
They all started out with bad directions
And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear
"One for every year he's away", she said
Such a crumbling beauty, ah
There's nothing wrong with her that a hundred dollars won't fix
She has that razor sadness that only gets worse
With the clang and the thunder of the Southern Pacific going by
And the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet
'til you're full of rag water and bitters and blue ruin
And you spill out over the side to anyone who will listen...
And I've seen it all, I've seen it all
Through the yellow windows of the evening train...

Always liked these lines:

it's all so great, but this is my favorite

"And the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet

Don't you want to be there, don't you want to go?
Where the light is breaking and the cold clear winds blow
Don't you want to be there in the golden glow

Don't you want to be there, don't you want to fly?
With your arms out, let a shout take you across the sky
Don't you want to be there when the time's gone by

Times there was love all around you
Times you were strong and alone
Times you believed love had found you
And you fell through time like a stone

And those you have wronged, you know
You need to let them know some way
And those who have wronged you, know
You'll have to let them go someday

Don't you want to be there?
Don't you want to cry when you see how far
You've got to go to be where forgiveness rules
Instead of where you are

Don't you want to be there, don't you want to know?
Where the grace and simple truth of childhood go
Don't you want to be there when the trumpets blow

Blow for those born into hunger
Blow for those lost 'neath the train
Blow for those choking in anger
Blow for those driven insane

And those you have wronged, you know
You need to let them know some way
And those who have wronged you, know
You'll have to let them go someday

Don't you want to be there?
Don't you want to see where the angels appear
Don't you want to be where there's strength and love
In the place of fear

[This is a test]



Too many sounds irritate my earholes
like Planet Rock beats from L.A. hoes
The same old thing same ol shit I'm tired
Was once on the payroll about to be fired
Black radio shame pop rap's to blame
Program your playlist to sound the same
With a disco tempo cliche intro
Wack rap tracks for commercial shows
Mindless music for the masses has to take
time away from the REAL rap master
So I stay cool for community airplay
while ratings slip for the shit that you play
This is a test a lesson to be observed
No wack rhymes are heard I keep on raising the curve
Back and forth I never stick em soft I just run it
Punks'll shun it, gangs keep their girlies on it
Paris is the dog, much doper than morphine
Sick with the style so you can say you've seen
The radical magical man, master of master plan
So smooth from beginning to end
This is a test, back it up when I'm in the place
and all hail to the dog with the righteous bass
The boss I come across rough on your radiowave
Terror on two track whenever I'm played
Punks keep steppin that's the reason why I
come through sicker than a L.A. driveby by
Droppin bombs in songs y'all keep singin along
So smooth it couldn't never go wrong
This is a test



Yo dig
When you buy a rap record do you buy it for dance moves
Or do you buy rap cause the lyrics are smooth
Cuz if you wanna dance you should stick with the other one
and leave the dog alone till the dancin is done
But then when you're ready for the brother who leads
and feeds all rap lovers with rhymes like these
I dish a little taste of the bass of Scarface
and paste a rhyme space to chase the weak-kneed
Cuz I don't play - well my name ain't [*****]
A A-T-C, a N-W-A
I'm Paris, the asiatic lord of light
With the power to fight and write rhymes to stay
Cuz I'm hotter than lava when I be up on a microphone
By now you should know it the poet doper than most
By dispensing of ignorance how I'm keeping the wack down
You enter to the realm of the Scarface sound
This is a test

Just take off your clothes and I'll drive you home I said
Knowing she never could pass on a dare
And knowing it sounded more desperate than reckless or bold
I just put it out there cold, too far gone to care

My eyes on the road, she slid herself down in the seat
And a vision of paradise swung into view
Across those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see
The beauty known only to me, and a big rig or two

On that freeway the light was receding
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
On the naked ride home

With the trace of a smile and that defiant look in her eye
She hurtled through space in a world of her own
And turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done
As if I was the doubting one who would have to be shown

On that freeway the light was receding
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
On the naked ride home

She gathered her clothes
And ran through the yard in the dark
Up onto the porch like a flash, and inside
Then one room at a time
I watched every light in our house come on
Like the truth that would eventually dawn,
Forcing me to decide

But on that freeway the light was receding
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
On the naked ride home
