The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun I walk a road horizons change The tournament's begun The purple piper plays his tune The choir softly sing Three lullabies in ancient tongues For the court of the crimson king The keeper of the city keys Puts shutters on the dreams I wait outside the pilgrims door With insufficient schemes The black queen chants the funeral march The cracked brass bell will ring To summon back the fire witch To the court of the crimson king The gardener plants an evergreen Whilst trampling on a flower I chased the wind of a prism ship To taste the sweet and sour The pattern juggler lifts his hand The orchestra begin I slowly turn the grinding wheel In the court of the crimson king On soft grey mornings widows cry The wise men share a joke I run to grasp divining signs To satisfy the hoax The yellow jester does not play But gently pulls the strings And smile as the puppets dance In the court of the crimson king "Court Of The Crimson King" lyrics |

Blinded By the Light
Manfred Mann Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground The calliope crashed to the ground But she was... Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the song with the funky break" And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride Asked me if I needed a ride But she was... Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light She got down but she never got tired She's gonna make it through the night She's gonna make it through the night But mama, that's where the fun is But mama, that's where the fun is Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun But mama, that's where the fun is Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone, that's where they expect it least" And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner, watching the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance The calliope crashed to the ground But she was... Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"

(ngdawg made me do this)
Jug Band Music Lovin' Spoonful I was down in Savannah Eatn' Cream and Bannanas When the heat just made me faint I began to get crosseyed I thought I was lost I'd begun to see things as they ain't. As the relatives gathered to see what's the matter The doctor came to see was I fine. But the doctor said give him jug band music, It seems to make him feel just fine. I was told a little tail about a skinny as a rail L.A. put cowboy with a headache He was hung up in the desert swappin' rats And tryn' ta get a drink of water with his knees gettin' mud caked And I'll tell you and exceptance how he stumbled into Memphis Tenassee Lookin' hard and gettin' dust baked. We gave 'im little water; a little bit of wine he opened up his eyes but they didn't seem to shine And the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine So if you ever get sickly get sister run quickly to the dusty closet shelf and pull out a washboard; and play a guitar chord and do a little do it yourself. call on your neighbors to put down their labors and come and play the hardware in time cause the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine I was floatin' in the ocean greased with suntan lotion when i got wiped out by a beach boy he was surfin' when he hit me but jumped off his board to get me and he dragged me by the armpit like a child's toy as we staggerd into land with all the waitors eatn' sandwitches we tried to mooch a towl from the harpoloy he emptied out his eardrums; i emptied out mine and everybody knows that the very last line is the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine and the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine.

The Trews - Not Ready To Go Lyrics
It's never ending, as far as I know But there's a doubt you feel, between us both You're grounded daily, I'm on a cloud I float up every night, as you come down I'm not ready to go Are you unhappy, or are you low? I should be leaving but I'm not ready to go I'm not ready to go Even if you think I'm crazy, drunk, and stoned I don't wanna be messed up alone There's nothing wrong here There's nothing wrong here There's nothing wrong here There's nothing wrong.... I'm not ready to go diggin' these guys lately......check 'em out eh. |

High Time We Went"
(Joe Cocker/Chris Stainton) Well, it's five o'clock in the morning feel just like the end of a mule Somebody's been yawning trying to break out the rules. Yes, it's high time we went Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went there? Ain't it high time we went? Well, it's four o'clock in the morning, somebody's shouting the news, nobody's been yawning, Preachers all around for the blues. Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Three o'clock and I'm dreaming, somebody's shouting the way, nobody can see me, trying to find a brand new day. Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Two o'clock and I'm rolling, everywhere I look is the same, somebody's been calling, trying to put the blame on my name. Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? It's one o'clock and I'm falling, falling for the same old game, somebody's been shouting, let me be by the stage. Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Well, it's twelve o'clock and I got there, didn't think I'd make it in time, somebody's been shouting, "Don't forget the lemon and lime." Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? Ain't it high time we went? |

Almost Cut My Hair
CSNY Almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day. It's getting’ kinda long, I coulda said it wasn't in my way. But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly, cause I feel like I owe it to someone. Must be because I had the flu' for Christmas and I'm not feeling up to par. It increases my paranoia, like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car. But I'm not giving in an inch to fear cause I missed myself this year. I feel like I owe it to someone. When I finally get myself together, I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather. And I find a place inside to laugh, separate the wheat from the chaff. I feel like I owe it to someone.

Hair Poem--George Carlin
I'm aware some stare at my hair. In fact, to be fair, Some really despair of my hair. But I don't care, Cause they're not aware, Nor are they debonaire. In fact, they're just square. They see hair down to there, Say, 'Beware' and go off on a tear! I say, 'No fair!' A head that's bare is really nowhere. So be like a bear, be fair with your hair! Show it you care. Wear it to there. Or to there. Or to there, if you dare! My wife bought some hair at a fair, to use as a spare. Did I care? Au contraire! Spare hair is fair! In fact, hair can be rare. Flyman got no hair, Nor does a chair, Nor nor a chocolate eclair, And where is the hair on a pear? Nowhere, mon frere! So now that I've shared this affair of the hair, I'm going to repair to my lair and use Nair, do you care? (Beard Poem) Here's my beard. Ain't it wierd? Don't be sceered, Just a beard. |

Since Phil is out playing with Hanxter this weekend, it behooves me (how's that for a word?) to continue posting in a manner of which Phil would approve(like I care if he did). Therefore, without further adieu, I give to you, Flyman, Dire Straits:
Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it You play the guitar on the MTV That ain't workin' that's the way you do it Money for nothin' and chicks for free Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb Maybe get a blister on your little finger Maybe get a blister on your thumb We gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these colour TV's See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup Yeah buddy that's his own hair That little faggot got his own jet airplane That little faggot he's a millionaire We gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these colour TV's I shoulda learned to play the guitar I shoulda learned to play them drums Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera Man we could have some fun And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises? Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee That ain't workin' that's the way you do it Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free We gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it You play the guitar on the MTV That ain't workin' that's the way you do it Money for nothin' and your chicks for free Money for nothin' and chicks for free |

sweet...........good stuff from them boys........
you heard this one before? Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow One step forward and it's back to go You're standing on the throttle You're standing on the brakes In the groove 'til you make a mistake Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad Because you're gonna know lonely And you're gonna know bad When you're rippin' and a ridin' and you're coming on strong You start slippin' and a slidin' and it all goes wrong, because Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all One day you got the glory Then you got none One day you're a diamond And then you're a stone Everything can change In the blink of an eye So let the good times roll Before we say goodbye, because Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all sorta how i feel today. |

AW-sorry, Flyman, hopefully, this too shall pass
this song is in one way sad, but if you've ever heard it, there's something very soothing in it-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (later just 'Dirt Band') recorded this waaaaayyyyyy back when-even I was a kid! There are recent versions, but first is always best, at least in music. Buy For Me the Rain Buy for me the rain, my darling, buy for me the rain; Buy for me the crystal pools that fall upon the plain. And I'll buy for you a rainbow and a million pots of gold. Buy it for me now, babe, before I am too old. Buy for me the sun, my darling, buy for me the sun; Buy for me the light that falls when day has just begun. And I'll buy for you a shadow to protect you from the day. Buy it for me now, babe, before I go away. Buy for me the robin, darling, buy for me the wing; Buy for me a sparrow, almost any flying thing. And I'll buy for you a tree, my love, where a robin's nest may grow. Buy it for me now, babe, the years all hurry so. I cannot buy you happiness, I cannot by you years; I cannot buy you happiness, in place of all the tears. But I can buy for you a gravestone, to lay behind your head. Gravestones cheer the living, dear, they're no use to the dead. |

Truckin'
Grateful Dead Truckin’ got my chips cashed in. keep truckin’, like the do-dah man Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin’ on. Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on main street. Chicago, new york, detroit and it’s all on the same street. Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings. Dallas, got a soft machine; houston, too close to new orleans; New york’s got the ways and means; but just won’t let you be, oh no. Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love, Most of the time they’re sittin’ and cryin’ at home. One of these days they know they better get goin’ Out of the door and down on the streets all alone. Truckin’, like the do-dah man. once told me you’ve got to play your hand Sometimes your cards ain’t worth a dime, if you don’t lay’em down, Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me; Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been. What in the world ever became of sweet jane? She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same Livin’ on reds, vitamin c, and cocaine, All a friend can say is ain’t it a shame? Truckin’, up to buffalo. been thinkin’, you got to mellow slow Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin’ on. Sittin’ and starin’ out of the hotel window. Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again I’d like to get some sleep before I travel, But if you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in. Busted, down on bourbon street, set up, like a bowlin’ pin. Knocked down, it get’s to wearin’ thin. they just won’t let you be, oh no. You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel; Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down. I guess they can’t revoke your soul for tryin’, Get out of the door and light out and look all around. Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me; Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been. Truckin’, I’m a goin’ home. whoa whoa baby, back where I belong, Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin’ on. Hey now get back truckin’ home.

Long Haired Country Boy People say I'm no-good, And crazy as a loon. I get stoned in the morning, I get drunk in the afternoon. Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade, An', I ain't got no money, But I damn sure got it made. 'Cos I ain't askin' nobody for nothin', If I can't get it on my own. If you don't like the way I'm livin', You just leave this long-haired country boy alone. Preacher man talkin' on the TV, He's a-puttin' down the rock 'n' roll. He wants me to send a donation, 'Cos he's worried about my soul. He said: "Jesus walked on the water," And I know that is true, But sometimes I think that preacher man, Would like to do a little walkin', too. But I ain't askin' nobody for nothin', If I can't get it on my own. You don't like the way I'm livin', You just leave this long-haired country boy alone. A poor girl wants to marry, And a rich girl wants to flirt. A rich man goes to college, And a poor man goes to work. A drunkard wants another drink of wine, And a politician wants a vote. I don't want much of nothin' at all, But I will take another toke. 'Cos I ain't askin' nobody for nothin', If I can't get it on my own. If you don't like the way I'm livin', You just leave this long-haired country boy alone. I can see it. Cept for that hair |
