Five Days In May by Blue Rodeo

 

Sometimes the world begins

To set you up on your feet again

And ohh it wipes the tears from your eyes

How will you ever know

The way that circumstances go

Ohh its going to hit you by surprise

But I know my past

You were there

In everything I've done

You are the one

[Pete]

"My momma says she loves me, but she might be jiving me too" - BB King

 

Thats why they call it the blues

[BLZFAN4LIFE]

Well the first days are the hardest days,

Don't you worry any more, 'Cause when life looks like easy

Street, there is danger at your door.

 

Grateful Dead -- Uncle John's Band.

 

I'm going to rent myself a house

In the shade of the freeway

I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning

And go to work each day

And when the evening rolls around

I'll go on home and lay my body down

And when the morning light comes streaming in

I'll get up and do it again

Amen

Say it again

Amen

 

I want to know what became of the changes

We waited for love to bring

Were they only the fitful dreams

Of some greater awakening

I've been aware of the time going by

They say in the end it's the wink of an eye

And when the morning light comes streaming in

You'll get up and do it again

Amen

 

Caught between the longing for love

And the struggle for the legal tender

Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring

And the junk man pounds his fender

Where the veterans dream of the fight

Fast asleep at the traffic light

And the children solemnly wait

For the ice cream vendor

Out into the cool of the evening

Strolls the pretender

He knows that all his hopes and dreams

Begin and end there

 

Ah the laughter of the lovers

As they run through the night

Leaving nothing for the others

But to choose off and fight

And tear at the world with all their might

While the ships bearing their dreams

Sail out of sight

 

I'm going to find myself a girl

Who can show me what laughter means

And we'll fill in the missing colors

In each other's paint-by-number dreams

And then we'll put out dark glasses on

And we'll make love until our strength is gone

And when the morning light comes streaming in

We'll get up and do it again

Get it up again

 

I'm going to be a happy idiot

And struggle for the legal tender

Where the ads take aim and lay their claim

To the heart and the soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie

In those things that money can buy

Thought true love could have been a contender

Are you there?

Say a prayer for the pretender

Who started out so young and strong

Only to surrender

 

Jackson Browne -- The Pretender.

 

 

You can spend all your time making money

You can spend all your love making time

 

The Eagles -- Take It To The Limit

 

 

I met my old lover

On the street last night

She seemed so glad to see me

I just smiled

And we talked about some old times

And we drank ourselves some beers

Still crazy afler all these years

Oh, still crazy after all these years

 

Im not the kind of man

Who tends to socialize

I seem to lean on

Old familiar ways

And I aint no fool for love songs

That whisper in my ears

Still crazy afler all these years

Oh, still crazy after all these years

 

Four in the morning

Crapped out, yawning

Longing my life a--way

Ill never worry

Why should i?

Its all gonna fade

 

Now I sit by my window

And I watch the cars

I fear Ill do some damage

One fine day

But I would not be convicted

By a jury of my peers

Still crazy after all these years

Oh, still crazy

Still crazy

Still crazy after all these years

 

Paul Simon -- Still Crazy After All These Years.

 

 

I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.

Waylon Jennings.

 

I'll drink to that!

[Pete]

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain

We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow

 

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

 

Please swallow your pride

If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill those of your needs

That you don't let show

 

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

 

If there is a load you have to bear

That you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me

 

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'd understand

We all need somebody to lean on

[Da Big Man]

More Stevie Ray Vaughn

Change It.

 

You cant change it....cant re-arrange it

If time is all that we got....then baby lets take it

 

Lovin is a lovin....the moment is a-right

Its worth all the years in the past....lets go one more night

 

Get away from the blind side of life

Honey I want you to be by my side

Me and my back door moves aint no more....no more

 

Get away from the blind side of life

Honey I want you to be by my side

Me and my back door moves aint no more....no more

 

Get away from the blind side of life

Honey I want you to be by my side

Me and my back door moves aint no more....no more

 

Goodnight my darlin....another day has passed

Forget all those painful memories....our loves gonna last

 

Come to me baby....come to me one more time

Its time we got movin....time to move on

Lets slide out the door....lets slide out the door

Ride our way home....lets glide our way home

 

Lets go....lets go....lets go....lets go

Lets go....lets go....Ive come back for more

Last Mango in Paris - Jimmy Buffett

 

I went down to Captain Tony's to get out of the heat

When I heard a voice call out to me, 'Son, come have a seat'

I had to search my memory as I looked into those eyes

Our lives change like the weather but a legend never dies

 

He said, 'I ate the last mango in Paris

Took the last plane out of Saigon

Took the first fast boat to China

And Jimmy, there's still so much to be done'

 

I had a third world girl in Buzios

With a pistol on each hand

She always kept me covered

As we moved from land to land

I had a damn good run on wall street

With my high fashion model wife

Til I woke up dry beneath the African sky

Just me and my Swiss Army knife

 

I ate the last mango in Paris

Took the last plane out of Saigon

Took the first fast boat to China

And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

 

We shot the breeze for hours

As the sun fell from the skies

And like the sun he disappeared before my very eyes

It was somewhere past dark-thirty

When I went back to the head

I read upon the dingy wall

The words the old man said

 

He said, 'I ate the last mango in Paris

Took the last plane out of Saigon

Took the first fast boat to China

And Jimmy, there's still so much to be done'

 

I ate the last mango in Paris

Took the last plane out of Saigon

Took the first fast boat to China

And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

[Pete]

You jump in front of my car when you,

You know all the time that

Ninty miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive

You tell me its alright, you dont mind a little pain

You say you just want me to take you for a ride

 

Youre just like crosstown traffic

So hard to get through to you

Crosstown traffic

I dont need to run over you

Crosstown traffic

All you do is slow me down

And Im tryin to get on the other side of town

 

Im not the only soul whos accused of hit and run

Tire tracks all across your back

I can see you had your fun

But darlin cant you see my signals turn from green to red

And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead

 

Youre just like crosstown traffic

So hard to get through to you

Crosstown traffic

I dont need to run over you

Crosstown traffic

All you do is slow me down

And I got better things on the other side of town

[ExiledInIllinois]

We're in trouble... No place to run now, not even Chicago... If the water keeps rising we will have to send it (and all the pollution) back into the lake! Right now we have a "reverse flow" of around +3 feet and the rain is still falling heavily!

 

Sorry Robert... LZ...

 

When The Levee Breaks:

 

If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break

If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break

When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan

Lord mean old levee taught me to weep and moan

Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home

Oh well oh well oh well.

Don't it make you feel bad

When you're tryin' to find your way home

You don't know which way to go?

If you're goin' down South

They go no work to do,

If you don't know about Chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,

Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,

Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home.

Going, go'n' to Chicago,

Go'n' to Chicago,

Sorry but I can't take you.

Going down, going down now, going down.

The best lyrical song of all time:

 

PETE TOWNSHEND - Slit Skirts

 

I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze

I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were

Lost in a maze

 

I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of

Divine right to the blues

It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the

Front page sad news.

 

The incense burned away and the stench began to rise

And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes

 

And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil

And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil

No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned

From all this you'd imagine that there must be something learned

 

Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts

I don't ever wear no ripped shirts

Can't pretend that growing older never hurts.

 

Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants

Have to be so drunk to try a new dance

So afraid of every new romance

 

Slit skirts, slit skirt

Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt

She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt

Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt

 

Slit skirts, slit skirt

Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt

She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt

Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt

 

Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance?

Why can't we drink it up true heart romance

Just need a brief new romance

 

Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home just now.

The big events of the day are passed and the late TV shows have come around.

I'm number one in the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled.

A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I'm unskilled.

 

And I know that when she thinks of me, she thinks of me as him,

But, unlike me, she don't work off her frustration in the gym.

 

Recriminations fester and the past can never change

A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range

 

Once she woke with untamed lovers' face between her legs

Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg

 

Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts

And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts

Can't pretend that growing older never hurts

 

Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants

We have to be so drunk to try a new dance

So afraid of every new romance

 

Slit skirts, slit skirt

Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt

She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt

Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt

 

Slit skirts, slit skirt

Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt

She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt

Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt

 

Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance?

Why can't we drink it up true heart romance

Just need a brief new romance
