Sweet Child O Mine
 
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I'd hide,
I'd pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by....

Guns N Roses...who else?:)

Any of you folks hit a lick ?
 
No wasted time....were alive today
Churnin up the past....theres no easier way
Times been between us....a means to an end
God its good to be here walkin together my friend

Youre livin a dream....wo you on top
My mind is achin....lord it wont stop
Thats how it happens....livin life by the drop

Just one more !

Can anybody name this one ? With out using google ?

If you ever plan to motor west,
travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.

It winds from Chicago to LA,
more than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.

Now you go through Saint Louis, Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You see Amarillo,Gallup, New Mexico, Flagstaff Arizona.
Don't forget Winona, Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip,
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.

This song is a little sad, but we have all lost a loved one at one point or another (or will someday)


A Dream Goes On Forever

A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
I'm left standing here, I've got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream

A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by
But the time has stopped in my dream

We all have our everyday hopes and fears
And you'll find no exception in me
But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears
Over life's biggest tragedy

You're so long ago and so far away
But my dream lives on forever
I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
For without it there is no dream

You're so far away and so long ago
But my dream goes on forever
And how much I loved you you'll never know
'Til you join me within my dream

That first one was Life By The Drop, a most excellent SRV tune.

The second one I recognize as Route 66 which I've heard recorded by many an artist.

Welcome to the SBLive there GUITARMAN :peace:

Pink Floyd has written some interesting lyrics.....


Welcome to the Machine

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you
know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star,
He played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar.
He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the Machine.


******************
Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.

OK guys see if you can pick this one out. I do like some of Pink Floyd and I loved the SBRadio that is great. I will be listening to it at work when I can and I will sure pass it on to others that like this local forum. Thanks.
Here it is ???

My old dad went a walkin' one day,
Pushing tall weeds right outta his way,
My old dad went a walkin' one day,
Hey now, hey now

Corduroy pants and an old plaid shirt,
Daddy went a walkin' just to feel the earth,
Got a little dirty but that's all right,
Hey now, hey now

Old man crossing the road,
You've got to let him go,
Old man crossing the road,
He's feelin' fine

Daddy went a ridin' in his old car,
Took the dog with him 'cause it ain't too far,
Daddy went ridin' in his old car,
Hey now, hey now

Brown leather boots and an old straw hat,
Daddy's getting wood with the barnyard cat,
Got a little dirty but that's all right,
Hey now, hey now

Old man crossing the road,
You've got to let him go,
Old man crossing the road,
He's feelin' fine

Mama's waiting
at the top of the hill,
They'll be laughing,
oh the stories they'll tell...
When he holds her
in his arms again,
They'll be sweethearts
with time on their hands

My old dad went a walkin' one day,
Pushing tall weeds right outta his way,
My old dad went a walkin' one day,
Hey now, hey now

Corduroy pants and an old plaid shirt,
Daddy went a walkin' just to feel the earth,
Got a little dirty but that's all right,
Hey now, hey now

Daddy went a ridin' in his old car,
Took the dog with him 'cause it ain't too far,
Daddy went ridin' in his old car,
Hey now, hey now

Brown leather boots and an old straw hat,
Daddy's getting wood with the barnyard cat,
Got a little dirty but that's all right,
Hey now, hey now

Hey that's Neil Young's Daddy Went Walking!!! From Silver and Gold! I like it alot!!!:clap:

Isaac-Saxxon 05-30-2007 08:11 PM

OK Pokie see what you can do with this one. It is easy for a hard rocker like you to pick.

Breathe

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

Ya'll geat real my 3 and 4 year old kids know those. How about "Over head the albatross hangs motionless upon the air, and deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrynths of coral caves. The echo of the distant tide comes willowing across the sand and everything is green as submarine". I put my 4 year old to bed to this for weeks. Guess who?:laugh:

LateNight 05-30-2007 10:29 PM

here's some of the lyrics to a song that came out, about the same time my first son was born.. it caught my attention right away.


Well now on a summer night in a dusky room
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
In his mother's arms it was all the beauty I could take
Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make
In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused
Searching for a little bit of God's mercy
I found living proof

Purpahurl, google makes it too easy to cheat. And I'm not going to use google. So I will admit that I don't know. But I am better with melodies than I am with lyrics.
