TV dinners there's nothin' else to eat
TV dinners they really can't be beat
I like 'em frozen but you understand
I throw 'em in and wave 'em and I'm a brand new man oh yeah!

TV dinners they're goin' to my head
TV dinners my skin is turnin' red
Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin
I can't wait until tomorrow.... and thaw one out again oh yeah!

TV dinners I'm feelin' kinda rough
TV dinners this one's kinda tough
I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too
I even like the chicken if.... the sauce is not too blue.

And they're mine, all mine, oh yeah
And they sure are fine.
Gotta have 'em
Gimme somethin' now.

Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man

[Chorus:]
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me

Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the gov'nor, she wants to free her man

[Chorus]

If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
 
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder
Lightning strikes me?

I've fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in
So he gave up on me

I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding
Shelter in a downpour

I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
I'm no stranger to the rain

But when I get that foggy feeling
When I'm feeling down
If I don't keep my head up
I may drown

But it's hard to keep believing
I'll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down

I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal
Or borrow a little sunshine

And I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the man designed me
To ride the wind
And dance in a hurricane

I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder
Lightning strikes me?

But I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the man designed me
To ride the wind
And dance in a hurricane

I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to
leave because I'd go berserk?? Well...
You left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see
I've gone completely out of my mind.. And..
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be
happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!
You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said
that loosing you would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT???
I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and
laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And..


They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa,
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the happy home. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you pay me back
for all my kind unselfish loving deeds.. Huh??
Well you just wait, they'll find you yet and when they do they'll put you
in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!!! And...

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy
to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming
to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haa!!!
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time...

They had to take him away. He burned the house down.
 
Bob Dylan
"Positively 4th Street"


"You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down, you just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve to say you gotta helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that's winning

You say I let you down, you know it's not like that
If you're so hurt why then don't you show it?
You say you lost your faith, but that's not where it's at
You have no faith to lose and you know it

I know the reason that you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd you're in with
Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with?

You see me on the street, you always act surprised
You say, "How are you? Good luck," but you don't mean it
When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once and scream it?

No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
Don't you understand, it's not my problem

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment, I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you"
 
Haven't seen the head Squid postin' here in Music for a coupla weeks now. Figger I best bump this gem of a thread he got truckin' along here, if that's what it takes to git 'im back in these parts.

Here's one I'm livin', Early my deep-woods cephalopodish friend.

I watch you enough to know that you can relate:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pJL7TRM00Y]John Anderson, Black Sheep[/ame]

"My daddy was a brake man
On a highball travelin' train
And mama, she raised four little children
And a family had a good name

And poppa and momma wanted
Everything for us they never had
And big brother, little brother and sister too
None of them turned out half bad

'Cept me
Yeah, I'm the black sheep of the family

And big brother went to college
And became a doctor man
I guess he makes about a million dollars a year
Off the folks on insurance plans

He's got a big long Mercedes Benz
And a house overlooking the town
He sits in his Jacuzzi
And he watches the sun go down

And he feels real sorry for me
I'm the black sheep of the family

Yeah I drive me a big ol' semi truck
I'm makin' payments on a two room shack
My wife she waits on tables
And at night she rubs my back

And I tell her what my papa said to my mama
When he got off a highball train
Wake me up early be good to my dogs
And teach my children to pray

Little sister married a banker
Yeah he owns a country club
He bought her a big ol' racing horse
And a funny lookin' little dog

He buys her big rings and diamonds
And a brand new Japanese yacht
They like to get together
And talk about all the things they've got

But they never mention me
I'm the black sheep of the family

Yeah I drive me a big ol' semi truck...
I'm makin' payments on a two room shack
My wife she waits on tables
And at night she rubs my back

And I tell her what my papa said to my mama
When he got off a highball train
Wake me up early be good to my dogs
And teach my children to pray

I'm sayin' woman wake me up early
Be good to my dogs
And teach my children to pray"
 
Spending more time working and less drinking, as well as working some more. This weekend im off and I promise to post all that comes through my headphones into my beer addled brain. Promise.
 
What I Got"

Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation, and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot

Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got
'Cause you might get runover or you might get shot
Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity
Love is what I got
It's within my reach
And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got

(That's) why I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I got I got I got
