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. |  | | |  |

Someone posted the Pogues song ‘White City’ on a thread yesterday.
I was quite struck by one of the lyrics from it.
“Torn up ticket stubs,
from 100,000 mugs” |  |

Oh come all you young fellers so young and so fine
Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal
Well it's many a man that I've seen in my day
Who lived just to labour his whole life away.
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine,
A man must have lust for the lure of the mines.
Merle Travis, Dark as a Dungeon, 1946

While the music played
You worked by candlelight
Those San Francisco nights
You were the best in town
Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl
You turned it on the world
That's when you turned the world around
Did you feel like Jesus?
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
But yours was kitchen clean
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motorhome
Every A frame had your number on the wall
You must have had it all
You'd go to L.A. on a dare and you'd go it alone
Could you live forever?
Could you see the day?
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?
Get along, get along, Kid Charlemagne
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Now your patrons have all left you in the red
Your low rent friends are dead
This life can be very strange
All those day glo freaks who used to paint their face
They've joined the human race
Some things will never change
Son, you were mistaken
You are obsolete
Look at all the white men on the street
Get along, get along, Kid Charlemagne
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Clean this mess up, else we'll all end up in jail
Those test tubes and the scale
Just get it all outta here
Is there gas in the car?
Yes there's gas in the car
I think the people down the hall know who you are
Careful what you carry
'Cause the man is wise
You are still an outlaw in their eyes
Get along, get along, get along, Kid Charlemagne
Get along, get along, Kid Charlemagne

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Randy Newman - I Think It's Going To Rain Today (1968) [Post edited 18 Jun 2022 14:27]

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation
I break down
…….
Once there was a way,
To get back homeward.
Once there was a way
To get back home.
…….
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitation
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
You're gonna carry that weight along time
…….
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make
…..
Extracts from the "You Never Give Me Your Money/Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End" Medley on 'Abbey Road'.
Heartbreaking reflections on the breakup of the Beatles Brotherhood from McCartney. |
It's a great last line, but I think it's been misinterpreted. In response to the choruses of "love you", McCartney sings in realisation that there is as much self-gratifying love ("the love you take") as there is of the generous love ("the love you make"). |  | | |

Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots.
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down.
From Meccano to Legoland,
Here they come with a brick in their hand,
Men with heads filled up with sand,
Let's build.
Let's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Let's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots...
Whistling men in yellow vans
They came and drew us diagrams.
Showed us how it all worked out
And wrote it down in case of doubt.
Slow, slow and quick, quick, quick
It's wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick
Let's build.
Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
It's in with suits and new recruits
It's build.
Let's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Let's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots...

Girls
I like 'em fat, I like 'em tall
Some skinny, some small
I got to get to know them all
Girls
Love the things they know
Love the things they show
Got to be where they go
Pretty girls
With sunshine in their hair
The perfume that they wear
Girls are everywhere
I'd like to be on an island
With five or six of them fine ones
Even one that ain't good lookin'
They're the ones that do the best cookin'
Give me one with a lot of money
Give me two with lots of honey
Give me three that do them freaky things
Give me four fat mamas that like to swing |  | | |

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
Some blokes from West London |  | | |

I took myself down to the Tally-Ho Tavern to buy me a bottle of beer
I sat me down by a tender young maiden whose eyes were as dark as her hair
And as I was searchin' from bottle to bottle for somethin' unfoolish to say
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows and smilingly stole her away
I said hey little girl don't you know he's the devil he's everything that I ain't
Hidin' intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
All he's good for is gettin' in trouble and shifting his share of the blame
And some people swear he's my double and some even say we're the same
But the silver tongued devil's got nothing to lose I'll only live till I die
We take our own chances and pay our own dues the silver tongued devil and I
Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
But nothing that I could have said could've saved her
No matter how hard that she tried
Cause she'll offer her soul to the darkness and danger
Of something that she's never known
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger who'll love her and leave her alone
And you know he's the devil...
