you are very welcome sweety :) and thank you for the wonderful compliment....you keep that up i gonna have a big head lol

Ain't I lucky! LOL

That's very beautiful and so are you. Thank you baby. :o)

Here are a couple lines from a songfor you my dear :)


We may be a thousand miles apart,
But I'll be with you whereever you are.

I'm already there, take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair Im the shadow on the ground.
I"m already there dont ,ake a sound Im the beat in your heart Im the moonlight shining down.
Im the whisper in the wind and I'll be there 'til the end.
im already there

Aragon sweetie, you've done it again!! Your website address has no spaces so its 'stretched' this page!

Yikes...How suicidal (or homicidal) is the person who wrote this poem?...I realize I'm way off the discussion going on now...I was reading past discussions and this just blew me away! BACK to the topic at hand.

Yes it was very hilarious because the "girl" everyone was objecting to was a gorilla in a tutu. The last line was changed also to "different" at all on some early albums and wasn't meant to serve as a punch line..the theory being that the entire song was humorous enough on its own.

Here chief. Print out the words from David, and then go here. Sing away until your heart is content :o)

*will stick a click one in!!*

Actually Chief they're all on the internet-I usually find them by just typing in the title and writing lyrics.

Cabaret soundtrack lyrics

Joyce Chittick---If You Could See Her Through My Eyes

EMCEE:
I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world
That's just a first impression
What good's a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view
If you could see her through my eyes
You wouldn't wonder at all
If you could see her through my eyes
I guarantee you would fall (like I did)
When we're in public together
I hear society moan
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd leave us alone
(There you are, my Liebling. Your favorite!)
How can I speak of her virtues?
I don't know where to begin
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin (like I do)
Yet, when we're walking together
They sneer if I'm holding her hand
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd all understand

Why can't they leave us alone?

Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs
Ladies and Gentlemen
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is eine bisschen Verständnis -
A little understanding -
Why can't the world 'leben und leben lassen'?
'Live and let live...'
I understand your objection
I grant you the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes
She wouldn't look Jewish at all




this song was one of the most controversial. It is the reaction to Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz's relationship (to a different couple in the movie). At the end, when the Emcee says, "She wouldn't look Jewish at all," some took that as an anti-Semitism remark. I never did! I understood what was trying to be conveyed. The gorilla is a symbol of the Jew-- the audience laughs at first, but then they realize the propaganda they're supporting. The Emcee is saying that he loves her no matter what, and he does not see her as just being Jewish-- he sees her for every other quality. The song really is a kick in the ass. In the 60's, they briefly changed the ending to "meeskite," because of the outrage. Yet, not many know what the hell that is, and Joel Grey just kept slipping the original line in anyway. Now that a lot of the shame of the Holocaust has lifted and it's being more acknowledged, the lyrics remain true to the original. Plus, the song holds true to all prejudices, which obviously still run rampant.
(From the website on the play)

From David's inexhuatable database of lyrics may I request one more: From Cabaret the song "If You Could See Her Through My Eyes" (was sung my Joel Grey in the old movie.

Thanks Darren :o)

Well if anyone can keep it on the right tracks I am sure it is you David!!

If you've ever read the IYT Music board, you've wasted you're time. Much of it is idiotic name calling, flame wars and very little about music. I have read it for probably a couple of years and don't think I've learned a single thing, although like I said I wasted a lot of time. So when I started this board I tried to come up something to prevent that. My idea was to discuss one topic at a time and cover that in depth. It's become apparent to me that isn't the way to go about it. I still like the idea of covering topics in depth but by choosing and limiting them, it stifled the discussion instead of focusing it. So without further discussions about what we discuss it's time to open up the boards.

A little side note-As I said I didn't want this to end up like IYT, well this isn't IYT and the players here are nicer, more considerate and I don't think I should have worried about it.



MEA CULPA

written by Brian Eno & David Byrne

VOICE: Inflamed caller and smooth politician replying,
both unidentified. Radio call-in show, New York, July 1979.

What're you saying? He said "I'm sorry, I committed a sin, I made a mistake. I asked (?????) to forgive me... please forgive me." He said "Mea Culpa," can you put it better? "I'm saying I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I made... I committed a sin, I made a mistake. And I'm never gonna do it again, I never did it before and I'm never gonna do it again."

i have heard that song chiefy :) but of course i am a country girl :)

Cool :-)
I used to do music too. Something can be found on http://fencer.iuma.com. But it is more than 3 years old.

VERY good song. Horrible movie. hahahahaha. And I LOVE spaghetti westerns!!!!

Well, that's cool that you took a listen harley. That's more than most people will do once they see the website.

Cheers,
-S

Cheif KM, I would like an invite. However, I am already in 1 tournament. So, it looks like unless my tourney ends, I won't be able to play. Maybe it's time for me to spend some money here....

ARGH, I HATE Orville!!! ROFL!! But I do rather enjoy the Time Warp!!! :oP

This from a woman that does the Timewarp and adores Orville the Duck....

Hi Satan! I had a listen, cheers for that! Its pretty much as I thought, and not really to my taste. Its the kind of thing I can listen to once a month at a friends place, but I'd never buy or listen to at home! (But I do have quite a few Manson CD's!! lol)
Thanks for the site addy though, its always great to hear new sounds :o)

Would you like an invite to the KM Pente Tournament? As a pawn you can enter one tournament.

Willie Nelson's real great song few people have heard of is "Red Headed Stranger"

Harley, I agree. Marilyn writes some interesting lyrics that are well thought out. But the music REALLY sucks! I would not call it metal.

If you'd like to hear my room mates' band go to this link:

http://www.bleedingpool.com/thyinfernal/

enter the site, and then click on the "sounds" link.

They are broken up now, but were VERY popular here in Portland Oregon. We play together in a different band now, but a couple of the old members are in our band.

Is any one on this message board a pente player? If so, how about a game? My skill level is advanced, so I'll give you a run for your money!

Stardust KM: Willie Nelson has written some great songs. My favorite song by him is Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. My mother used to play this song all the time when I was a youngin' and I guess it just stuck with me throught the years..

In the twilight glow i see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages i'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
For blue eyes crying in the rain.

Love that line up Chief. Although no Best Singers list would or could be complete without the legendary Patsy Cline. Now that's a voice!!!
Crazy Rules! Lyrics by Willie Nelson:

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

All Old School. Male: George Jones:"He Stopped Loving Her Today" and Marty Robbins "Sometimes When We Touch." Also Elivs: "The Wonder of YOU" Female: Bette Midler "The Rose" and Anne Murray "You Needed Me." Bands? Don't need your stinkin bands. LOL

ROFL Chief!! What are your fave bands/singers?

Two out of three ain't bad. LOL

LOL, I like Orbison too. I think my faves would have to be Meatloaf, David Bowie, Marylin Manson, and all the 60's 70's 80's and 90's!! lol!

Agree to Orbison Chief :)

I think the song is great. My compliments to your room mates band, Satan. I'd love to hear it with music, even though its not my usual taste. I dont get much heavier than Marylin Manson! In fact I'd probably say the music ruins the lyrics! Ha ha! :o)

Chief not interested as well. Now if you have some Roy Orbison...

Gubbe not interested LOL

If anyone at this site is interested in true Satanic Black Metal, send me a message. I like to trade video's and mp3's of TRUE Metal! I also listen to Thrash, Death, and Rock (think W.A.S.P when I say Rock).

Here's a song written by my room mate's Band. They are called: THY INFERNAL
The song is called: NIGHT OF THE FULL MOON

Cold, the winds that blow on this night,
Like breath of the reaper,
Call me, guide my way,
On thru the dead of night,
Night of death take me and show the glory of pain,
Endured for my master,
And as I wander alone on thru the frozen snow,
I call to thee...

Darkness, hate, and cold misery,
Possess me, consume my grim soul,
So I can be at one with the horned lord below,
Lord Satan, possess me,
Grant me the raging WRATH OF HELL,
For tonight the full moon shines,
And the Lord of Hell will take the sacrifice...

Night of evil, night of my last offering,
My life, my dark existence,
Now stains the snow as my limbs are desecrated for you, my Master,
Under the full moon sky I die,
With grim delight in my eyes,
Lord Satanas, take the sacrifice...

Make me one with demons,
Show me the ways,
Of desecration...
Blasphemy...
Abomination...

Night of evil, night of my last offering,
My life, my dark existence,
Now stains the snow as my limbs are desecrated for you, my Master,
Under the full moon sky I die,
With grim delight in my eyes,
Lord Satanas, take the sacrifice...

As my funeral pyre burns into the night,
And the wolves howl grimly to the sky,
The return of the antichrist son,
Shall bring fear into the pearly gates of Heaven high,
Our Masters's wrath shall strike the angel's down,
Open the gates,
And send your demons forth,
Son of Satan spread your black wings on this evil night...

Beneath the moon of suicide,
Sacrificed,
Reborn in Hell,
IN HELL...

JUST WAITIN'

Recorded by Hank Williams, Sr.
Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr. and Bob Gazzaway

The old maid's waitin' for leap year to come
The crooner's Just Waitin' to sing
The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Just a-Waitin' for the grass to turn green.

The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark
'N' the hitch-hiker's waitin' for a ride
The life-termer's waitin' for a prison break
The beachcomber's waitin' for the ride. (tide)

Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman
To take her into town
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy
To lay all his money down.

You know ev'rything comes to a standstill
Nothin' seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
I guess the early bird's waitin' for the worm.

Nobody wants to do nothin'
Just Waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call from a big quiz show
Or hopin' and a-waitin'for some rich uncle to die.

Katy, she's waitin' at the garden gate
The moonshiner's waitin' at the still
'N' the gambler's still waitin' for that Ace in the hole
I guess Jack's still waitin' for Jill.

Ev'rybody's waitin' for som'thin'
Nothing seems to turn out right
'Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin'
And the burglar Just Waitin' for night.

The congregation's waitin' for the preacher
Preacher Just Waitin' for the groom
The groom's Just Waitin' for the June bride
And the bride's Just Waitin' for June.

Sunflow'rs waitin' for the sunshine
Violets Just Waitin' for dew
Bees Just Waitin' for honey
And, honey, -- I'm -- Just -- Waitin' -- for -- you.

ARTIST: Creedence Clearwater Revival (John Fogarty)
TITLE: Lodi


Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Thing got bad, and things got worse
I guess you know the tune
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the Greyhound
But I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connection
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar
For ev'ry song I've sung
And ev'ry time I had to play
While people sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Punk rock's poet laureate, Patti Smith ranks among the most influential female rock & rollers of all time. Ambitious, unconventional, and challenging, Smith's music was hailed as the most exciting fusion of rock and poetry since Bob Dylan's heyday. If that hybrid remained distinctly uncommercial for much of her career, it wasn't a statement against accessibility so much as the simple fact that Smith followed her own muse wherever it took her — from structured rock songs to free-form experimentalism, or even completely out of music at times. Her most avant-garde outings drew a sense of improvisation and interplay from free jazz, though they remained firmly rooted in noisy, primitive three-chord rock & roll. She was a powerful concert presence, singing and chanting her lyrics in an untrained but expressive voice, whirling around the stage like an ecstatic shaman delivering incantations. A regular at CBGB's during the early days of New York punk, she was the first artist of the bunch to land a record deal and release an album, even beating the Ramones to the punch. The artiness and the amateurish musicianship of her work both had a major impact on the punk movement, whether in New York or England, whether among her contemporaries (Television, Richard Hell) or followers.

Farewell Reel

[this little song is for Fred: it's G, C, D, and D minor]

It's been a hard time
and when it rains
it rains on me
the sky just opens
and when it rains
it pours

I walk alone
assaulted it seems
by tears from heaven
and darling I can't help
thinking those tears are yours

Our wild love came from above
and wilder still
is the wind that howls
like a voice that knows it's gone
cause darling you died
and well I cried
but I'll get by
salute our love
and send you a smile
and move on

So darling farewell
all will be well
and then all will be fine
the children will rise
strong and happy be sure
cause your love flows
and the corn still grows
and God only knows
we're only given
as much as the heart can endure

But I don't know why
but when it rains
it rains on me
the sky just opens
and when it rains
it pours

But I look up
and a rainbow appears
like a smile from heaven
and darling I can't
help thinking that smile
is yours

Very uplifting. :o)

One of the funniest things I ever saw was on the news a couple years ago when Hilliary Clinton was running for Senator in New York. She was at some kind of fundraiser or something-some kind of black tie affair. Anyways, they meant to play "New York State of Mind" instead they cued it to another song-"Captain Jack"-It was hilarious-the room was very quiet as it played, one of those uncomfortable silences. If you're at all familiar with it, it was about the worst song they could have picked. The news played it for a long time as it was priceless.


Billy Joel Captain Jack Lyrics

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of livin' in your one-horse town
Like to find a little hole in the ground
For a while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's just like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Your sister's gone out. She's on a date
You just sit at home and masturbate
The phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in you New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
But still your finger's gonna pick your nose
After all

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da da, Oh yeah, yeah

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah but there's no place to go anyway
And what for...
You've got everything, but nothing's cool
They've just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore...

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da da, Oh yeah, yeah

So you play your albums and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh, but still you're aching for the things you have not got
What went wrong...
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
And why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well, you're twenty-one and still your mother makes your bed
And that's too long...

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight

Many thanks! Now I can sing it (when nobody is listening) since I remember the tune. It was just a vid of Billy Joel in concert with some clips of the Nam war spliced in.

This is another one about Vietnam that was made into a video and got play on MTV. It was a great video.

Rooster
Alice In Chains

Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere
Here they come to snuff the rooster }
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah } (2x)
You know he ain't gonna die }
No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die }
Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die

I remember when that one came, I really liked it. Never saw the video though.

Goodnight Saigon
Billy Joel

We met as soul mates on Parris Island.
We left as inmates from an asylum.
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives.
And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives.
We came in spastic like tameless horses.
We left in plastic as numbered corpses.
And we learned fast to travel light.
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight.
We had no home front, we had no soft soap.
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope.
We dug in deep and shot on sight and
prayed to Jesus Christ with all our might.

We had no cameras to shoot the landscape.
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes.
And it was dark, so dark at night.
And we held on to each other like brother to brother,
we promised our mothers we'd write.
And we would all go down together,
we said we'd all go down together.
Yes, we would all go down together.

Remember Charlie? Remember Baker?
They left their childhood on every acre.
And who was wrong? And who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

We held the day in the palm of our hand.
They ruled the night
and the night seemed to last as long
as six weeks on Parris Island.
We held the coastline, they held the highlands.
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives.
They heard the hum of our motors,
they counted the rotors and waited for us to arrive.
And we would all go down together,
we said we'd all go down together.
Yes, we would all go down together.

Billy Joel song and I forgot most of the lyrics. Was not a blockbuster hit but MTV was made of it.

I always thought this was about Vietnam:

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

Carry on Wayward Son:
---------------------

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I can hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
No!
Carry on
You will always remember
Carry on
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
