The Song Knows

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

The way i always feel is in this song.

New York State of mind
Billy Joel

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neiborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line-
I'm in a New York state of mind.
I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing and i don't want to waste more time-
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day to day,
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues,
But now I need a little give and take,
The New York Times, The Daily News....
It comes down to reality---and that's fine with me'cause I let it slide,
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind--
I'm in a New York state of mind
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line-
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind.

"Orgasm Addict" - the Buzzcocks

You tried it just for once
Found it all right for kicks
But now you've found out
It's a habit that sticks

You're an orgasm addict
Orgasm addict

Sneaking in the back door
With dirty magazines
Your mother wants to know
About the stains on your jeans

You're an orgasm addict
Orgasm addict

You get in heat
You get in a sulk
But you still keep beating
Your meat to a pulp

You're an orgasm addict
Orgasm addict

You're a kid Casanova
You're no Joseph
It's a labour of love
F***ing yourself to death

You're an orgasm addict
Orgasm addict

You're making out with schoolkids
Winos and heads of state
You've even made it with the lady
Who puts the little plastic robins
On Christmas cakes
Butcher's assistants and bell hops
You've had 'em all here and there
Children of God and the joy streams
International women with no body hair

Johnny want f***y
Everywhere and always
He's got the energy
He will amaze

He's an orgasm addict
He's always at it
He's an orgasm addict
He's got the habit

And he's an orgasm addict!

Operator (That's Not the Way it Feels)
Jim Croce


Operator, well could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded.
She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray,
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated.

Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well --
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels.

Operator, well could you help me place this call?
Well, I can't read the number that you just gave me.
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time --
I think about a love that I thought would save me.

Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well --
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels.
No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels.

Operator, well let's forget about this call --
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to.
Thank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kind.
And you can keep the dime.

Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well --
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels.
No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels.

In the mood for some Ozzie.

Mr. Crowley
Ozzy Osbourne

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr.Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

Was it polemically sent
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant

Bad To The Bone
George Thorogood


On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE
The Doors

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
Charlie Rich


My baby makes me proud, Lord don't she make me proud
She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk, Lord, how they love to talk
But when they turn out the lights, I know she'll be leaving with me

CHORUS:
And when we get behind closed doors
Then she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad I'm a man
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
My, behind closed doors.

My baby makes me smile, Lord don't she make me smile
She's never too far away or too tired to say "I want you"
She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me.

Repeat chorus

[Simon Darkshade]

I know this one has been mentioned before, but it was not given in full. I'm putting this in because, well I don't know how to say it, but it is for someone gone too soon.
He always did like this song. This one's for you, Swinny.

Nothing Else Matters

So close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say

trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters

Nice thought, Simon.


THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
Joan Baez

VIRGIL CAINE IS THE NAME, AND I SERVED ON THE DANVILLE TRAIN
'TIL STONEMAN'S CAVALRY CAME AND TORE UP THE TRACKS AGAIN.
IN THE WINTER OF SIXTY-FIVE, WE WERE HUNGRY, JUST BARELY ALIVE.
BY MAY THE TENTH, RICHMOND HAD FELL;
IT'S A TIME I REMEMBER OH, SO WELL...

THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
AND ALL THE BELLS WERE RINGIN',
THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
AND ALL THE PEOPLE WERE SINGIN'! THEY WENT...
LA, LA-LA-LA-LA-LA,
LA-LA-LA-LA, LA-LA-LA-LA-LA.

BACK WITH MY WIFE IN TENNESSEE, WHEN ONE DAY SHE CALLED TO ME,
"VIRGIL, QUICK, COME SEE: THERE GOES THE ROBERT E. LEE!"
NOW, I DON'T MIND CHOPPIN' WOOD, AND I DON'T CARE IF MY MONEY'S NO GOOD.
JUST TAKE WHAT YOU NEED AND LEAVE THE REST
BUT THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN THE VERY BEST.

THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
AND ALL THE BELLS WERE RINGIN',
THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
AND ALL THE PEOPLE WERE SINGIN'! THEY WENT...
LA, LA-LA-LA-LA-LA,
LA-LA-LA-LA, LA-LA-LA-LA-LA.

LIKE MY FATHER BEFORE ME, I WILL WORK THE LAND.
AND, LIKE MY BROTHER BEFORE ME, I TOOK A REBEL STAND.
HE WAS JUST 18, PROUD AND BRAVE, WHEN A YANKEE LAID HIM IN HIS GRAVE.
I SWEAR BY THE MUD BELOW MY FEET,
YOU CAN'T RAISE A CAINE BACK UP WHEN HE'S IN DEFEAT.

THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
AND ALL THE BELLS WERE RINGIN',
THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
AND ALL THE PEOPLE WERE SINGIN'! THEY WENT...
LA, LA-LA-LA-LA-LA,
LA-LA-LA-LA, LA-LA-LA-LA-LA.

A very cool Police song.

ROXANNE
Sting

ROXANNE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT ON THE RED LIGHT
THOSE DAYS ARE OVER
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SELL YOUR BODY TO THE NIGHT

ROXANNE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WEAR THAT DRESS TONIGHT
WALK THE STREETS FOR MONEY
YOU DON'T CARE IF IT'S WRONG OR IF IT'S RIGHT

ROXANNE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT ON THE RED LIGHT

I LOVED YOU SINCE I KNEW YOU
I WOULDN'T TALK DOWN TO YOU
I HAVE TO TELL YOU JUST HOW I FEEL
I WON'T SHARE YOU WITH ANOTHER BOY

I NOW MY MIND IS MADE UP
SO PUT AWAY YOUR MAKE UP
TOLD YOU ONCE I WON'T TELL YOU AGAIN
IT'S A BAD WAY

ROXANNE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT ON THE RED LIGHT
ROXANNE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT ON THE RED LIGHT

More TheThe:

Love is Stronger than Death'

Love Love Love
Love Love Love

Me and my friend were walking
In the cold light of morning
Tears may blind the eyes but the soul is not deceived
In this world even winter ain't what it seems

Here come the blue skies
Here comes springtime
When the rivers run high and the tears run dry
When everything that dies
Shall rise

Love Love Love
Is stronger than death
Love Love Love
Is stronger than death

In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch
All the thoughts unuttered and all the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath
But, awoke by grief, our spirits speak
How could you believe that the life within the seed
That grew arms that reached
And a heart that beat
And lips that smiled
And eyes that cried
Could ever die?

Here come the blue skies
Here comes springtime
When the rivers run high and the tears run dry
When everything that dies
Shall rise

Love Love Love
Is stronger than death
Love Love Love
Is stronger than death
Love Love Love
Is stronger than death
Love Love Love
Is stronger than death

Shall rise
Shall rise
Shall rise
Shall rise

STAGGER LEE
- from an old folk song called "Stagolee", which was based on a true story.
Lyrics as recorded by Lloyd Price


The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"
"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track
He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"

Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe"
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
He said "Nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four

Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass

DON'T PULL YOUR LOVE
Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds


Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years

Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

You say you're gonna leave
Gonna take that big white bird
Gonna fly right out of here
Without a single word
Don't you know you'll break my heart
When I watch you close that door
Cause I know I won't see you anymore

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years

Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

Haven't I been good to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't that mean love to you
Doesn't that mean anything
If I threw away my pride
And I got down on my knees
Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years

Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

There's so much I wanna do
I've got love enough for two
But I'll never use it girl if I don't have you

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years

Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

ARE YOU READY?
Pacific Gas & Electric

There's rumors of war
Men dying and women crying
If you breathe air, you'll die
Perhaps you wonder the reason why
But wait! Don't you worry
A new day is dawning
We'll catch the sun, and away we'll fly...

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

(Are you ready?) (2X)

People say that He won't come
And I don't know what say you
But if He should, would you be the one?
I've got a little question I'd like to ask you

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

(Are you ready?) (2X)

Brothers and sisters, I have many
Stumbling along to do their thing
Love is a song, it's better than any
It's better for music, it's easy to sing

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

(Yes, I'm ready)
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)
I've got to know, yeah (Yes, I'm ready)
You sound real good (Yes, I'm ready)
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)
Gonna be sunshine again (Yes, I'm ready)
And the flowers growing (Yes, I'm ready)
Children playing (Yes, I'm ready)
Gonna be all right (Yes, I'm ready)
You've got to be ready (Yes, I'm ready)
I know you're ready (Yes, I'm ready)
Say it loud one more time (Yes, yes, I'm ready)
Oh, yeah (Yes, yes, I'm ready)

How Can I Tell You
cat stevens


How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
but I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you, but my words
just blow away, just blow away
It always ends up to one thing, honey
and I can't think of right words to say
Wherever I am girl, I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you, but I look and you're not there
Whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you, and I'm sad that
you can't hear, sad that you can't hear
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
when I look and you're not there
I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you
feel my arms around you, like a sea around a shore
and -- each night and day I pray, in hope
that I might find you, in hope that I might
find you, because heart's can do no more
It always ends up to one thing honey, still I kneel upon the floor
How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
but I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you....
It always ends up to one thing honey
and I can't think of right words to say

for chris and his hard headed woman

Hard Headed Woman
cat stevens

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will take me for myself,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I won't need nobody else, no, no, no.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed -- yes, yes, yes.

I know a lot of fancy dancers,
people who can glide you on a floor,
They move so smooth but have no answers.
When you ask "Why'd you come here for?"
"I don't know" "Why?"

I know many fine feathered friends
but their friendliness depends on how you do.
They know many sure fired ways
to find out the one who pays
and how you do.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me feel so good,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I know my life will be as it should -- yes, yes, yes.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman...

KIND OF A DRAG

Kind of a drag
When your baby don't love you
Kind of a drag
When you know she's been untrue

Oh oh, listen to what I've gotta to say
Girl, I still love you
I'll always love you
Anyway, anyway, anyway

Kind of a drag
When your baby says goodbye
Kind of a drag
When you feel like you want to cry

Girl, even though you make me feel blue
I still love you
I'll always love you
Anyway, Anyway, Anyway

Oh, listen to what I've gotta say
Girl, I still love you
I'll always love you
Anyway, anyway, anyway
