Monday Morning Rock by Marshall Crenshaw

The same old sounds, the same old sights
The same old Friday and Saturday nights
We're out all night, we must have fun
It's hard to know, but it has to be done.
I'm gonna be relieved when I can finally stop
And do the Monday Morning Rock.

Neon lights of pink and blue
A drink in my hand and my arm around you
The beat runs on 'till way past dawn
The doors open up, there's a day going on
That's when I know I gotta go home and set my clock
To do the Monday Morning Rock.

Well now everybody all up and down the block
Let's do the Monday Morning Rock.

No more fun, the weekend's done
We've done our duty, now we're all alone
I touch your hand, your eyes meet mine
It's warm, it's quiet, and I'm feeling fine
Let's turn out all the lights and lock the lock
And do the Monday Morning Rock.

Change of The Guard by Steely Dan


If you listen you can hear it
It’s the laughter in the street
It’s the motion in the music
And the fire beneath your feet
All the signs are right this time
You don’t have to try so very hard
If you live in this world
You’re feelin’ the change of the guard

All the cowboys and your neighbors
Can you swallow up your pride
Take your guns off it you’re willin’
And you know we’re on your side
If you wanna get thru the years
It’s high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You’re feelin’ the change of the guard

Foo Fighters - Best Of You... (For some reason, today, it reminds me of RWA, and Clay playing cat and mouse..) (Sorry guys...)



I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new?

I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Ohh

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Quitter by Gas Giants


Looking over all the angles obvious that some ain’t right
Litter the recycle bin with all the things I'll change tonight
Well that’s not wrong, its merely lame
There’s no need to hide my shame
Well I’m tired of slowly sinking
Still there’s no one else to blame

I can’t help it I’m a quitter
From inside I’m cold and bitter
Always out an unbeliever
We’re not floating in the ether

Sick of the illusion that it's sad to ever want to know
Taking off and sputtering whenever it was time to go

Well it's not my fault, I'll never try
I can’t even tell you why
Well I thought I heard you calling
From the corner of my eye

I can’t help it I’m a quitter
From inside I’m cold and bitter
Always out and in denial
Laying wreaths and Spanish tile
I’m not scared I’m only nervous
When chocolate shakes and power surges
Stephen Hawking can’t know either
We’re not floating in the ether

It's not my fault, I'll never try
Well I can’t even tell you why
Well I thought I heard you calling
From the corner of my eye

I can’t help it I’m a quitter
From inside I’m cold and bitter
Always out and in denial
Laying wreaths and Spanish tile
I’m not scared I’m only nervous
When chocolate shakes and power surges
Stephen Hawking can’t know either
We’re not floating in the ether

Always out and in denial
Laying wreaths and Spanish tile
Stephen Hawking can’t know either
We’re not floating in the ether.....

Thunder Road By: Bruce Springsteen (

The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing For The Lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again. I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me

You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now, I ain't no hero, that's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey, what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
Well, the night's busting open, these two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back, heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh, come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh oh oh, Thunder Road
Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road
It's lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey, I know it's late, we can make it if we run
Oh oh oh oh, Thunder Road
Sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road

Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride ain't free
And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken

There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines rolling on
But when you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind
So Mary, climb in
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win

No Surprises, by Radiohead

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
’bout a ghost from a wishin’ well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I’m a ghost that you can’t see
If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won’t read that book again
Because the ending’s just too hard to take

I’d walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let’s be real
* I never thought I could act this way *
And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it
I don’t know where we went wrong
But the feelin’s gone
And I just can’t get it back

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
’bout a ghost from a wishin’ well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You’ll know that I’m just tryin’ to understand
The feelin’s that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I’ve got to say that I just to get it
I don’t know where we went wrong
But the feelin’s gone
And I just can’t get it back

Hide away by John Fogerty

Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,
Is there somethin' on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
Is that something in your eye?

Well, I know you really never
Liked the way it all goes down;
Go on, Hideaway.

What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard;
Oooh, I wish you well.
Think it's gonna rain,
Oh, what's the diff'rence,
Is there some way I can help?

'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh, Lord,
Wish I Could Hideaway

Hold on, give yourself a chance,
I can hear the leavin' train.

All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Oooh, I wish you well.
See you soon, maybe tomorrow.
You can never tell;

"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh,
Wish I could Hideaway

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway.
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway.

Ann It Goes by Circus Monkey

I got a tired story, I got a tired heart
This carousel is a monster, it takes up the whole park
It started somewhere, somewhere way back there
Ann it goes
Ann it goes

She left a lifetime of passes, now here's a real big joke
I'm getting sick to my stomach, I need the antidote
It started somewhere, somewhere way back there
Ann it goes
Ann it goes

Ann it goes
Ann it goes (repeat)

 

[Abbey Normal]

Winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine

I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you

I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it e'er remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine

I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you

He ne'er came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss of honey
A taste more bitter than wine

I will return
I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll come back for the honey and you

Cover Girl: by New Kids on the Block

I get up in the morning and I see your face, girl
You’re looking so good, everything’s in place
Don’t you know I could never leave your side girl
Won’t you stay here with me and be my bride?
Don’t you know you’re my kind, you’re just what I like
Girl you’re everything, don’t you know you’re alright
The only girl I’ve always needed for so long
Chorus:
Oh, oh-oh, she’s my cover girl
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, she’s my cover girl
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh


































Just Kidding!

Don Henley- Sit Down, Your rockin' the Boat

I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven,
And by some chance I had brought my dice along,
And there I stood,
And I hollered,
"Some one save me,"
but the passengers they knew right from wrong.
For the people all said,
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat."

People all said,
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat."

And the devil will drag you under,
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat,
"Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down"

I sailed away on that little boat to heaven,
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist,
And there I stood,
Nicely passing out the whiskey,
But the passengers were bound to resist.

For the people all said,
"Beware, you're on a heavenly trip."
People all said,
"Beware, you'll scuttle the ship"

People all said,
"Beware, beware"
People all said,
"Beware."
And the devil will drag you under,
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat,
"Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down "
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"

And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven, Ha ha ha! Oooooh.
A great big wave came and washed me overboard,
Oooooh
And as I sank,
And I hollered,
"Someone save me"
That's the moment I woke up, Oooooh
Thank the Lord! Thank the Lord, thank the Lord!
And I said to myself, Said to myself,
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat."
Said to myself,
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat."
And the devil will drag you under,
With a soul so heavy you'd never float, "Sit down, sit down"
Said to myself,
"Sit down"
And the devil will drag you under,
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
Sit down you're rockin' the boat.

Soul to Squeeze by Red Hot Chili Peppers

I've got a bad disease
But from my brain is where I bleed.
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze.

Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream.
The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Have turned to demons of greed that's mean.

Chorus:
Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Today love smiled on me.
It took away my face say please
All that you had to free
You gotta let it be oh yeah.

Chorus

Oh, so polite indeed
Well I got everything I need.
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction.

It's bitter baby,
And it's very sweet.
I'm on a rollercoaster,
but I'm on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Let me on your shore.
I'll be coming back baby,
I'll be coming back for more.

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad

I could not forget
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't as special
But I wont regret it never.

Chorus

Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna keep you for the end of time.

Its Not Easy Being Green by Kermit

It's not that easy bein' green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or
yellow or gold-
or something much more colorful like that.

It's not easy bein' green.
It seems you blend in with so many other
ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water-
or stars in the sky.

But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
like a mountain, or tall like a tree.

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine,
it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.

She Was A Woman
Written by Doug Hopkins
Performed by The Chimeras


She was a woman unafriad of fire
She slept with a thousand men in vain
She dreams messiah
But something tells me that it's time to go home
To wrestle the demons down
Before I reach the door

She was a woman ten feet tall and never cryin'
And everything I was trying to sell she wasn't buyin'
But something tells me that it's time to go home
To wrestle the demons down
Before I reach the door

[chorus]

And disregard to feel this way
She'll tell you that she wants you
And nevermind to care this way
She somehow seemed, somehow seemed
To haunt you

And she was a woman unafraid and burning
And everything around her world was slowly turning
The sunset tells me that it's time to go home
To wrestle the demons down
Before I reach the door

[chorus]

Guitar Solo

She somehow seems to haunt you
She somehow seems to haunt you
She somehow seems to haunt you
She somehow seems to haunt you

Hey Sandy by Polaris


Hey smilin' strange
You're lookin' happily deranged
Could you settle to shoot me?
Or have you picked your target yet?

Hey Sandy
Don't you talk back,
Hey Sandy

Four feet away
End of speech, it's the end of the day
We was only funnin'
But guiltily I thought you had it comin'

Hey Sandy
Don't you talk back,
Hey Sandy

Hey Sandy
Don't you talk back,
Hey Sandy

Hey Sandy
Don't you talk back,
Hey Sandy

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Lyrics by Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young)

It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly
I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
And you make it hard.

Remember what we've said and done and felt
About each other
Oh babe, have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming.
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.

Tearing yourself away from me now
You are free and I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you
I do, that's forever,
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.

Something inside is telling me that
I've got your secret.
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard (x 3).

Friday evening, Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning, please be gone I'm tired of you.
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm suffering)
Listen to me baby.
It's my heart that's a suffering (Help me I'm dying)
It's a dying, that's what I have to lose
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing the song don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow.

Voices of the angels, ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy, lilting, leery, losing love, lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady.

Que linda me la traiga Cuba,
La reina de la Mar Caribe.
Cielo sol no tiene sangre allí,
y que triste que no puedo vaya,
Oh va, oh va, va.

Translation:
(How prettiness brings me to Cuba,
The reign of the Caribbean Sea,
Sunny sky has no blood over there,
And how sad that I cannot go,
Oh go, oh go, go.)

Holiday in Cambodia
Dead Kennedys

So you been to school for a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know how the ******* feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear

It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife

Your a star-belly sneech you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer on you
Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers til you starve
Then your head skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need my son:

Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack

Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot [etc.]

And it's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul

Kill the Poor
Dead Kennedys

Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the Neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home:

The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight

Gonna
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor:Tonight

Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night

While they:
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor:Tonight
