"Fair Warning"

You know, wishing won't make it so
Hoping won't do it, praying won't do it
Religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it
The supreme court won't do it,
the president and the congress won't do it
The UN won't do it, the H-bomb won't do it,
the sun and the moon won't do it
And God won't do it,
and I certainly won't do it
That leaves you, you'll have to do it!

I know that you've been wondering
if I'm the same man inside
Never tried to fool you
'cause I've got nothing to hide
I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down
'Til I've seen paradise with my very own eyes
Love owns us all, Time owns us all, Life owns us all
But the world doesn't own me
Dontcha follow me now
I ain't afraid to say I may have been wrong
I have to go now
I'd rather live by a dream than live by a lie
And that's why
There ain't no cure for what I've got baby
We just have to suffer
I feel no pain, I can't complain,
things could always be rougher
But I picked up this banner
and I just can't put it down (No)
I can't let the world die just 'cause no one would try
Dontcha follow me now
Everybody's got to find his own place in the sun,
everyone
So shine on me now
I'd rather live by a dream then live by a lie
You can say what you will about me
talk is cheap and I don't mind
When you lay your life down in them grooves
you know you're bound to get scratched up sometime
It's only just a song, pay me no mind
I have to go now
You've got to walk that road alone
if you walk it at all
Don't follow me now
I gave you all fair warning
Now it's goodbye
And every once in a while why don't you think of me
'Cause it's a long, long time and a long way to go
Can't you see the light shining in my eyes
'Cause it's just one victory
'Cause your dream goes on forever
Don't you know that I've been trying
to get my trip together
Be a real man
I got to be a real man
1, 2, 3, do it one more time
Be a real man
Everybody be a real man
Go then, don't believe, and I don't know
'Cause I got to be a real man
You can be a man, a real man
I'll swim that river, climb that mountain
You and me, we all gotta be, real men

Another 2 favorite lyrics....


"Eternal Love"

When your life gets too lonely
It might help to feel me in your heart
I remember you happy, but thought it
Unfair that we are apart
And it's gonna be all right
'Cause everlasting love
Will get us through the night

There's a new day that's dawning
It brings with it skies so blue and clear
I can't offer you blue skies
I've only got love, eternal love
Soon it's gonna be all right
And the day will come
When we live as one

Drifting through time on an ocean of eternal love
Sailing through space on an ocean of eternal love

Doesn't love have a meaning
To put that in words would be so hard
Just remember the feeling of love in a song
That's a love for real
And it's gonna be all right
'Cause everlasting love
Will get us through the night

Hiroshima

Under the rising sun, dirty yellow children play
And in the red pagoda, mamasan is praying

Blood wasted saving face, ancestors are looking on
As they wave their silver samurai underneath the big gun

Hiroshima, no one could imagine
Not the victors nor the victims
Pitiful survivors, nor the pawn of a man
Who had the button under his hand
No one would believe it

God, God is on our side, he placed the power in our hands
To teach the yellow peril, this is Christian mercy
Harry, Harry give 'em hell, give 'em hell one more time again
We'll show those axis powers how to make an oven [fry them]
Hiroshima, Nagasaki
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever f**kin' forget

This is the official voice of the United States of America addressing the
Peoples of the islands of Japan. tomorrow morning, on august 15th, 1945 at
Exactly 8:15 am, we will bomb your cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima with a
Blast that will level these cities. this is the only alert you will receive.

Yeah you may have all you want baby
but I got something you need
oh yeah, ain't talkin' 'bout love....

[LateNight]

I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes.
And for that one moment I could be you.
And I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes.
Then you'd know what a drag it is to see you.

-- B. Dylan

A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
**The day the music died**
So...

(Chorus)
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'

(Chorus)

Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'

(Chorus)

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singin'

(Chorus)

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin'

(Chorus)

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most-
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost-
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing

(Chorus, 2x)

[AnimeSpirit]

Well I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line.
Well I'd been here for two long years.
I finally made the warden my friend.
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Taking care of Ol Red.

Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen.
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail.
He's a four legged tracking machine.
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain't nobody got past Red.

(Chorus)

Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my cousin up in Tennessee.
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could be.
Well they penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a mile just south of the gate.
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just drop him off and wait.

(Chorus)

Now Ol' Red got real used to seeing
His lady every night.
And so I kept him away for three or four days
And waited till the time got right.
Well I made my run with the evenin' sun
And I smiled when I heard 'em let Red out.
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And Ol' Red was headed south.

(Chorus)

Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Love got me in here and love got me out.

**Chorus**

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun.
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes.

[Pocahontas]

Here's to You!

They got 3 in the front and 4 in the back of a Civic
Camped out all night on the sidewalk just to get tickets
With their hands on the fence in the back by the buses and the limousines
Just to get a glimpse of a drummer or a singer yeah anything
And they come from miles around for that moment when the lights go up and they scream

It's the girls in the front row singin'
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's the lighters in the air and you guys up there
You're the heart and the soul and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you! Oh yeah!

There's a silver-tongued blonde trying to sweet talk her way back stage
There's a mom and a dad in the aisle not acting their age
There's a wet corvette-red lipstick print on a Coors light cup
And judging by the way she's dancin' I'd say she's had enough
The guitars come alive and you make us want to stay all night when you scream!

Here's to you oh yeah come on
Yeah here's to you oh yeah oh yeah
Here's to you here's to you
Oh yeah oh yeah

Can anybody relate to this song???

We say grace and we say Mame and if you ain't in to that we don't give a dam !
