Dude you gotta get off the dial up. Man your hooked.


Merle Travis/Tex Ritter - Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette

1. Now I'm a fella with a heart of gold - With the ways of a gentleman I've been told
A kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met - The guy that invented the cigarette
I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree

2. It ain't that I don't smoke myself - And I don't reckon they'll hinder your health
I've smoked them all my life and I ain't dead yet
But nicotine slaves are all the same - At a pettin? party or a poker game
Everythin's gotta stop while you have that cigarette

Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette puff puff puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate that you hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette

3. Now at a game of chance the other night - Ol' Dame Fortune was a doin' me right
The kings and queens just kept on comin' round
And I got a full and I bettet high - But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy
He just kept a risin' and layin' his money down

4. He'd raise me and I'd raise him - And I sweated blood you gotta sink or swim
He finally called and he couldn?t raise the bet
I said ?aces full pal how about you??? - He said ?I'll tell you in a minute or two
But right now I just gotta have another cigarette???

Smoke smoke smoke...
[ piano ]

5. Now the other night I had me a date - With the cutest little gal in the fifty states
One of them highbred up-town fancy little dames
She said she loved me and it seemed to me - That things were just about like they oughta be
So hand in hand we strolled down Lover's Lane

6. She was oh so far from a chunk of ice - And our smoochin' party was a goin' real nice
So help me Hannah and I think I'd of been there yet
I give her a kiss and a little squeeze - And she said ?would you excuse me please
But I just gotta have another cigarette???

Smoke smoke smoke... X 2
You just gotta have another cigarette ​

The Grand Illusion
Styx


Welcome to the grand illusion
Come on in and see whats happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star.

But dont be fooled by the radio
The tv or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone elses fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that its a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that its a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
Were all the same...

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon well stop to ponder what on earths this spell were under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are​

 

Slip sliding away
Simon and Garfunkel

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin' away

I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said delores
I live in fear
My love for you is so overpowering
Im afraid that I will disappear

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away

I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Aint got no rain
She said a bad days when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away

And I know a fa-ther
Who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons
For the things hed done
He came a long way
Just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and headed home again

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away

God only knows
God makes his plan
The informations unavailable
To the mortal man
We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe were gliding down the highway
When in fact were slip slidin away

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away

Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away
Mmm...​

 

I Can See Clearly Now
Johnny Nash




I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It?s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I?ve been prayin?for
It?s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there?s nothin?but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It?s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Fight the good fight
Triumph


The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines

Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay

The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart

Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do

CHORUS:
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way

All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can

You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head

Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart

Never met a girl like you before - Iggy Pop


I`ve never known a girl like you before,
Now just like in a song from days of yore,
Here you come a-knock knocking on my door,
Well I've never met a girl like you before.

You give me just a taste so I want more,
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw,
'Cause now you got me crawling, crawling, on the floor.
And I`ve never known a girl like you before.

You made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically,
Hope that I'm talking alegorically,
Know that I'm talking about the way I feel
And I`ve never known a girl like you before.

Never, never, never, never
Never known a girl like you before

This old town's changed so much.
Don't feel like I belong,
Too many protest singers,
Not enough protest songs.
And now you've come along,
Yes you've come along,
And I've never met a girl like you before.

"Land of Confusion"



I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, I hate these men of power
I'm losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake up this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

Dr. Hook and the Medicine show - Life ain't Easy

Well here I am in the wind again, floating where it takes me
Laughin' and a splashin' in the summer sun, until the alarm clock awakes me
Then it's coffee and a kiss and two cigarettes, and I'm back out in the cold, cold weather
Chasin' my dream but I just can't seem to rub two coins together
(Sing it)

Life ain't easy, they never said it would be
Life ain't easy, whoever said it should be
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
Life ain't easy, tell me all about it
Life ain't easy, no, no, no, no
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, for you or me

That woman she don't understand, the way my mind keeps driftin'
And the Lord don't always lend a hand, when my poor heart needs liftin'
Is home and kids really all there is, or is there something better?
And how much soul must a poor man sell to rub two coins together?

Don't you know that
Life ain't easy, no, no, no, no
Life ain't easy, whoever said it would be
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
Life ain't easy, can you hear me
Life ain't easy, tell me all about it
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
Life ain't easy, tell me all about it
Life ain't easy, no, no, no, no
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, for you or me
Life ain't easy
Life ain't easy...​

 

Wicked Garden

Can you see like a child ?
Can you see what I want ?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find ya
But I'm alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you

Can you see without eyes ?
Can you speak without lies ?
I wanna drink from you naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows

Out of the chains that bind you

Can you see just like a child ?
Can you see just what I want ?
Can I bring you back to life ?
Are you scared of life ?

Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn

So alive now
Out of the dark that blinds you

Can you see just like a child ?
Can you see just what I want ?
Can I bring you back to life ?
Are you scared of life ?

Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground ​

Golden days are passing over, yeah

Although my eyes are open wide
But I know Ill see you once more

Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone

Hold me, hold me thight, Im falling
Far away. distant voices calling

Straight across the great divide
I know youre crying, but Ill stop you crying

Time after Time - Ozzy

Time after time
I guess that love is blind
I couldn't read your mind
Line after line
Line after line
It was written in your eyes
I guess it's no surprise
Time after time

I can hear them whispering
Shadows in the rain
Thinking how it might have been

Time after time
Line after line you broke mine

Day after day
I watched love fade away
I wanted love to stay
Day after day

The games we played
The foolish things we say
The pain won't go away
Day after day

Candlelight is shimmering
Shadows on the wall
Thinking how it might have been

Day after day
The games we play you broke meh

Candlelights are shimmering
Shadows on the wall
Thinking how it might have been

[ame= - Andain - You Once Told Me (Original )by espetasetas@[/ame]

 

Love that song MM... Thanks for posting it. I never would have heard it otherwise.

 

No problem, it is one of my current favorites.

 

It's excellent.. Great lyrics too.. I absolutely love it... I'm gonna post the lyrics..

You Once Told Me
Andain


You once told me
I will know it enough
oh let me tell you something
yeah I do
you once told me
I won't feel enough
let me tell you that
baby I do

Sometimes I find myself in a sea
in a dream that's so far away
sometimes
Tell me what's happened to me
sometimes I see myself falling
although I don't show it much
sometimes I'm crazy for you
well maybe I'm fine
and tell me you're mine
sometimes I find myself
in a Sea..
in a dream that's so far away
sometimes
tell me what's happened to me

Tell me baby can you hold me now
we don't have to say it I feel it too
and maybe I'm falling or maybe
but I am not showing it much
tell me baby
can you see me now
show me baby that I dont know how
how can I start to see inside the fall
but sometimes I find mysef in a sea
in a dream that's so far away
sometimes
tell me what's happened to me

In a sea, in a dream that's so far away
sometimes
tell me what's happened to me ....​

 

I learned this on my guitar today MM.. sounds awsome with really thick, heavy distortion. Fun one to strum..

 

Bang your head
Quiet Riot

Well I'm an axegrinder Piledriver
Mother says that I never never mind her
Got no brains I'm insane
Teacher says that I'm one big pain
I'm like a laser 6-streamin' razor
I got a mouth like an alligator
I want it louder
More power
I'm gonna rock ya till it strikes the hour

CHORUS 1:
Bang your head! Metal Health'll drive you mad
Band your head! Metal Health'll drive you mad

Well I'm remonstrated
Outdated I really want to be over-rated
I'm a finder and I'm a keeper
I'm not a loser and I ain't no weeper
I got the boys to make the noise
Won't ever let up
Hope it annoys you
Join the pack
Fill the crack
Well now you're here
There's no way back

Bang your head! Metal Health'll drive you mad
Bang your head! Metal Health'll drive you mad

Metal Health'll cure your crazy
Metal Health'll cure your mad
Metal Health is what we all need
It's what you have to have

[Solo]

Bang your head
Wake the dead
We're all metal mad
It's all you have
So bang your head
And raise the dead
Oh yeah!
Metal Health
It's not too bad
Bad Bad

CHORUS:
Oh get your straight-jackets on tonight Oh
Bang your head! Metal health'll drive you mad
The bad boys are gonna set you right Rock on Rock on Rock on
Bang your head! Metal health'll drive you mad
Bang your head!

Even though you once hit on my ex girlfriend 14 years ago when she worked as a desk clerk at a hotel you were staying at whilst playing a bar

Perhaps I should have thanked him. Too bad he wasn't better looking, she may have ran off with him. Hahahaha


Always forgiven ​
