To kick off easytime.
Bowie
'I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low.'
Those words get to me every time I hear them. |  | | |  |

Those story-style lyrics were written by Jimmy Webb
'His rise to solo stardom in the late Sixties can be broadly explained in two words: Jimmy Webb - the songwriter who provided Campbell with the three hits, By the Time I get To Phoenix, Galveston and Wichita Lineman. It was an unlikely partnership. Webb was a hippie. Campbell - like his friend John Wayne - a hawkish Republican.'

When you're falling awake
And you take stock of the new day
And you hear your voice croak
As you choke on what you need to say
Well, don't you fret, don't you fear
I will give you good cheer
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
If you wait then your plate I will fill
As the verses unfold
and your soul suffers the long day
And the twelve o'clock gloom
Spins the room, you struggle on your way
Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry
Lick the dust from your eye
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
We will meet in the sweet light of dawn
As the Baker Street train spills your pain
All over your new dress
And the symphony sounds
underground puts you under duress
Well, don't you squeal as the heel
Grinds you under the wheels
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
But the tune ends too soon for us all [Post edited 7 Mar 2019 19:17]

Arlene, I'm sorry for what I done.
I wasn't looking for love till I saw
Your red hair in the sun.
What we had could never be love,
That was easy to see,
But when I saw you at Red's
Pouring coffee
Something took a hold of me.
Arlene, you wouldn't even let me
Hold your hand.
When I stopped you in the road
You just screamed and ran.
The Handsome Family, Arlene

"Eyes Of The Squirrel" - Primus
The Eyes of the Squirrel are watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are watching
Barry swing his bat
Piano playing cats
Big mouth drunken whores
The Eyes of the Squirrel are watching
Drama that's for free
On reality TV
Where's that tuna casserole
The Eyes of the Squirrel are watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are watching
As we change our minds
At least a half a dozen times
Are we leaning red or leaning blue
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
Oil's constant flow
Through the Gulf of Mexico
Anyone for battered shrimp
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
Idiots start to fester
When he shot that child molester
Some call him hero, some call him con
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
Another arrogant Ass
Says he's got an N-word pass
What the hell's an N-word pass
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
Brad and An-Jolie
Expand their family
Who's gonna be the next Octomom
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
Obama wave his pecker
At the infrastructure wreckers
Saying whatcha' gonna do bout' that gun control
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
The Eyes of the Squirrel are Watching
Another Primus one: "De Anza Jig:
Oh I can still remember
Jenny Hernando
She was my little lovely one
When I was seventeen.
I remember the day that she
Gave me her viriginity
And then she gave it to everyone
In our vicinity.
Oh I can still remember
Julie Tolentino
The dancing Filipino
We used to run around.
Her and Flouncin' Freddy
Were going hot and steady.
Now she runs a dyke bar,
The biggest one in town.
I can still remember my
Old friend Todd Squelati
I watching him snort a
Milkshake right up his nose.
He slurped it up the left side.
Blew it out the right side.
How he ever kept it down,
I will never know.
Of course I still remember
Ol Flouncin' Freddy
We were pumping gas
Down at El Sobrante Shell
His Mustang was his pride n' joy
He liked to dance the cowboy,
Hanging out at Jack In the Box
But eat at Taco Bell.

Expresso bongo snaps of rome
In the latin quarter of the ideal home
She fūcks all day sleeps alone
Just a tiger rug and a telephone
Says a post war glamour girl's never alone
In the seventh heaven on the thirteenth floor
Sweethearts' counterparts kiss
Limbo dancers under the door
Where the human dynamos pissed
Adults only over her pubes
Debutantes they give her dubes
Beatniks visit with saxophones
And the way she eats her Toblerone
Says a post war glamour girl's never alone
Mau mau lovers come and go
Dreamboats leave her behind
In a baby-doll to go man go
On the slopes of the adult mind
A murder mystery walk-on part
A dead body or a gangland tart
Near the knuckle close to home
Criminal connections you can't condone
A non-doctor's anonymous drone
Says a post war glamour girl's never alone
The section of the populace
They call the clientele
The moguls of metropolis
Defenestrate themselves
In the clothes of a rabbit
You develop a twitch
One of the little sisters of the rich
Amorous cameras
clickety-click
Her rosary beads are really bones
Rebel rebel they bug your phone
A post war glamour girl's never alone
Yes there's always a method actor hanging about
There goes Mr Tic-Tac out of the back
With some bric-a-brac from the knick-knack rack
The dumb waiter reminds you of home
And the nice boy from Sierra Leone
The action painter's got up and gone
Nevertheless it's never been known
For a post war glamour girl ever to be
What you would call
Irrevocably - alone

I was young when I left home,
And I been out a'ramblin' 'round,
And I never wrote a letter to my home.
To my home, Lord, to my home,
And I never wrote a letter to my home.
Bob Dylan - I was young when I left home |
Wow that's a great tune....
It was just the other day
I was drinkin' on my pay
When I met an old friend I used to know.
He said your mother's dead and gone,
Your baby sister's all gone wrong,
And your daddy needs you home right away.
Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny on my name.
Well I can't go home this a'way.
This a'way, Lord Lord Lord,
I can't go home this a'way. |  |

Well, I done got old,
Can't do the things I used to
'Cause I'm an old man
Well, I done got old,
Well, I done got old,
I can't do the things I used to do
'Cause I done got old,
Remember the day, baby
That done passed and gone
When I could love you
Most all night long
But now things gone changed
And I done got old
I can't do the things I used to do
'Cause I'm an old man
I can't look like I used to
I can't walk like I used to
I can't love like I used to,
And now things gone changed
When I done got old
I can't do the things I used to do
Because I'm an old man
And I'm an old man
I'm an old man
I'm an old man
And I'm not the same
I'm a very old man

On the National Express there's a jolly hostess
Selling crisps and tea
She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks
For a sky-high fee
Mini-skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle
Back in '63 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country.
When you're sad and feeling blue
With nothing better to do
Don't just sit there feeling stressed
Take a trip on the National Express.

A song I knew the tune (and chorus) to but never really paid any attention to the lyrics of the verses or what the song really was about.
I heard it again not long after my son was born a few years ago. Wow! A real lesson in not what to do. Inspired in part by Harry Chapin's own relationship with his son.
I always remember hearing how my grandad (RIP) had turned down promotions at BP (sometime during the 50's & 60's) and it was in part because he knew the higher you go the quicker you get culled but mainly because his family meant more to him than a slightly bigger pay cheque that required your life 24/7.
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, Dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home, Dad
I don't know when, but we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home, Dad
I don't know when, but we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son
I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad
You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home son
I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad
We're gonna have a good time then ......

Oh!
I am the one, Orgasmatron
The outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony
My servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant
Clandestine and vain
Two thousands years of misery
Of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount
Paranoia the law
My name is called religion
Sadistic, sacred whore
I twist the truth, I rule the world
My crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies
You grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you
Your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant
And revel in your pain
And all my promises are lies
All my love is hate
I am the politician
And I decide your fate
I march before a martyred world
An army… | |

Crestfallen sidekick in an old cafe
Never slept with a dream before he had to go away
There's a bell in the tower
Uncle Ray bought a round
Don't worry bout the army
In the cold cold ground
Now don't be a cry baby
When there's wood in the shed
There's a bird in the chimney
And a stone in my bed
When the road's washed out
They pass the bottle around
And wait in the arms
Of the cold cold ground
There's a ribbon in the willow
And a tire swing rope
And a briar patch of berries
Takin over the slope
The cat'll sleep in the mailbox
And we'll never go to town
Til we bury every dream in
The cold cold ground

I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue
Different places yeah but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue
Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue
So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night in two
And a whistle and the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue |  |

Blood on all our hands we cannot hope to wash them clean,
History is mystery, do you know what it means?
Slaughter, kill and fighting still and murdered where we stand,
Our legacy is lunacy, brotherhood of man.
We are worse than animals, we hunger for the kill.
We put our faith in maniacs, the triumph of the will,
We kill for money, wealth and lust, for this we should be damned.
We are disease upon the world, brotherhood of man.
