[Griffin NoName]

You know, Baby, when you're in my arms,
I can feel your loving magic charms
You drive me crazy, you drive me crazy.

And when Im looking in those big blue eyes,
I start afloating round in paradise,
You drive me crazy, you drive me crazy.

Heaven must have sent you down,
Down for you to give me a thrill,
Evry time you touch me
Evry time you hold me,
My heart starts speeding like a train on a track.

I love you, Baby, and it's plain to see,
I love you, honey, it was meant to be
You drive me crazy, you drive me crazy, oh.

Heaven must have sent you down,
Down for you to give me a thrill,
Evry time you touch me
Evry time you hold me,
My heart starts speeding like a train on a track.

I love you, Baby, and it's plain to see,
I love you, honey, it was meant to be
You drive me crazy, you drive me crazy, oh.

And when Im looking in those big blue eyes,
I start afloating round in paradise,
You drive me crazy, you drive me crazy.

You drive me crazy, you drive me crazy, oh.

My lovely horse, running through the field,
Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?
I want to shower you with sugarlumps,
And ride you over fences,
Polish your hooves every single day,
And bring you to the horse dentist.

My lovely horse,
You're a pony no more,
Running around with a man on your back,
Like a train in the night (yeah)
Like a train in the night.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, n how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, n how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before theyre forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, n how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, n how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before its washed to the sea?
Yes, n how many years can some people exist
Before theyre allowed to be free?
Yes, n how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesnt see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

Neil Young - See the sky About to Rain

See the sky about to rain,
broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train,
whistle blowing
through my brain.
Signals curling on an open plain,
rolling down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.

Some are bound for happiness,
some are bound to glory
Some are bound to live with less,
who can tell your story?

See the sky about to rain,
broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train,
whistle blowin'
through my brain.
Signals curlin' on an open plain,
rollin' down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.

I was down in Dixie Land,
played a silver fiddle
Played it loud and then the man
broke it down the middle.
See the sky about to rain.

Talk about your Arabian nights
I must admit they're grand
But if you long for wonderful sights
Come down to Dixie Land
That's the dearest place of all
Listening to the crickets call
When the evening shadows fall
Down in Dixie Land [Refrain:]
Night time down in Dixie Land
Darkies strolling hand in hand
Southern melodies
Floating on the breeze
Let me tell you it's grand
For when you hear those darkies harmonize
Tears of gladness fill your eyes
Baritones and Basses
Lounging round the places
Dixie Land embraces the happiest of races
All you see is smiling faces
When it's night time in Dixie Land
[2nd verse:]
Through the air float the wonderful tunes
Of Mister Whippoorwill
On the ground dance the bow-legged coons
They simply can't keep still
Vet'rans of the civil war
Telling stories by the score
How they fought in sixty-four
Down in Dixie Land

When Its Night Time In Dixie Land ~ Irving Berlin

Van Morrison - When the Leaves Come Falling Down

I saw you standing with the wind and the rain in your face
And you were thinking 'bout the wisdom of the leaves and their grace
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, come falling down

And at night the moon is shining on a clear, cloudless sky
And when the evening shadows fall I'll be there by your side
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, come falling down

Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down
To the place beside the garden and the wall
Follow me down, follow me down
To the space before the twilight and the dawn

Oh, the last time I saw Paris in the streets, in the rain
And as I walk along the boulevards with you, once again
And the leaves come falling down
In September, when the leaves come falling down

Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down
To the place between the garden and the wall
Follow me down, follow me down
To the space between the twilight and the dawn

And as I'm looking at the colour of the leaves, in your hand
As we're listening to Chet Baker on the beach, in the sand
When the leaves come falling down,
Woe in September, when the leaves come falling down
Oh when the leaves come falling down
Yeah in September when the leaves come falling down

When the leaves come falling down
In September, when the leaves come falling down

When the leaves come falling down in September, in the rain
When the leaves come falling down

When the leaves come falting down in September, in the rain

Autumn Leaves
English Lyrics: Johnny Mercer
Music: Joseph Kosma


The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall



[both "falling" *and* "leaves" appear in the previous song, albeit not adjacently, hence the bicolor highlighting. Showaddywaddy.]

[beagle]

I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone

I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
Hey, whats the matter man?
Were gonna come around at twelve
With some puerto rican girls that are just dyin to meet you.
Were gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, lets go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Wont you come on! come on!

I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think Im crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, whats the matter with you boy?

Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I wont miss you child

I guess Im lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I wont miss you child
Youve been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I wont miss you, baby, yeah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah

Smalltown Blues
===============
Lately the conversations drag me down
The circle full of friends just make my head spin round & round & round and
There's always someone waiting in the hall outside
And every time you leave the wronger telephone line...saying
How's she going to make it own her own now that he's gone
And I can't take this smalltown blues
I'm tired of being lonely, living without you
And I can't take this smalltown blues
I'm tired of living without you
You're always far away putting feathers in your cap
And business is good, but honey, that's not where I'm mad
There's always someone waiting on the street outside
And everytime you leave the wronger telephone line...saying
Now's she's running on her own, he wont be home
And I can't take this smalltown blues
I'm tired of being lonely, living without you
And I can't take this smalltown blues
I'm tired of living without you
And I can't take this smalltown blues
No, I'm tired of being lonely, lonely, living without you
And I can't take this smalltown blues
You know I'm tired of living without you
They're talking about you
They're saying that you've gone, tell me it's not true
I need you by my side, my side

Ol' man river,
Dat ol' man river
He mus'know sumpin'
But don't say nuthin',
He jes'keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along.

He don' plant taters/tators,
He don't plant cotton,
An' dem dat plants'em
is soon forgotten,
But ol'man river,
He jes keeps rollin'along.

You an'me, we sweat an' strain,
Body all achin' an' racket wid pain,
Tote dat barge!
Lif' dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An' you land in jail.

Ah gits weary
An' sick of tryin'
Ah'm tired of livin'
An' skeered of dyin',
But ol' man river,
He jes'keeps rolling' along.

Colored folks work on de Mississippi,
Colored folks work while de white folks play,
Pullin' dose boats from de dawn to sunset,
Gittin' no rest till de judgement day.

Don't look up
An' don't look down,
You don' dast make
De white boss frown.
Bend your knees
An'bow your head,
An' pull date rope
Until you' dead.)

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi,
Let me go 'way from de white man boss;
Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,
Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross.

O' man river,
Dat ol' man river,
He mus'know sumpin'
But don't say nuthin'
He jes' keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along.

Long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on...

He don' plant tater,
He don' plant cotton,
An' dem dat plants 'em
Is soon forgotten,
but ol' man river,
He jes' keeps rollin' along.

Long ol' river keeps hearing dat song.
You an' me, we sweat an' strain,
Body all achin an' racked wid pain.
Tote dat barge!
Lif' dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An' you land in jail.

Ah, gits weary
An' sick of tryin'
Ah'm tired of livin'
An' skeered of dyin',
But ol' man river,
He jes'keeps rollin' along!

Does I "continue to disregard" pass for street-talk these days?  Perhaps educational standards really are rising.

-----

I like bouncing, boing boing boing
Up and down until I get a pain in me groin
Try to be happy and when it really counts
Turn into a rubber ball and bounce bounce bounce

Bouncing down the club with this bird named Dennis
I said to her in passing I was pretty good at tennis
She looked me up and down and said, "It doesn't need announcing,
Judging by the way your balls are bouncing!"

I like bouncing, boing boing boing
Up and down until I get a pain in me groin
Try to be happy and when it really counts
Turn into a rubber ball and bounce bounce bounce

I'll get up in the morning and I bounce around the bed
If me mum comes in to wake me up, I'll bounce on her instead
When I'm in the bathroom, I bounce around the bath
But you wanna try to shit and bounce, that's really quite a laugh!

I like bouncing, boing boing boing
Up and down until I've got a pain in me groin
Try to be happy and when it really counts
Turn into a rubber ball and bounce bounce bounce

Apathy and Boredom by The Motherfuckers

Everyone I know is a pathetic fuckin' drunk
I can't make new friends, 'cuz I'm just a dirty punk
Girls think I'm ugly, I smell bad too
I know my life sucks, don't need to hear it from you

Chorus

I'll bitch & complain, day after day
Say I hate this town, but you know I'm here to stay
I'll get up in the morning, do it all again
Apathy and boredom, it's driving me insane

Slave through the day for this meagre fucking pay
Nothing to look forward to at the end of the day
Waste away the night in some smokey fucking bar
Then I gotta walk home, I can't afford a car

Chorus

I used to be so angry, always ready for a fight
Now I'm just a lazy slob, it doesn't feel right
One day ya know I'll pack my bags and I'll be outta here
But for now I'll just sit around, have another beer, and

Hey!

Well, you work an' you slave an' you spend all day in your thankless job.
Then you jump in your Ford an' you're door-to-door with the home-bound mob.
Then you pull in the drive and you hit the chair,
An' the one that you love is waiting there.

Hey, that's what it's all about.
Hey, this is the life I couldn't live without.
No, I couldn't live without.
It's a moment frozen there in time,
When the reasons all begin to rhyme;
Where love's a little bigger an' you finally start figurin' out,
That's what it's all about.
(Ooh, ooh.)

Well, they won't go to bed or do what you said or eat their food:
An' they cry and they fuss and you can't even cuss 'cause they'll say it too.
An' you're tired and you're numb an' you're stressed and you're mad,
An' she smiles and says: "I love you, Dad."

Hey, that's what it's all about.
Hey, this is the life I couldn't live without.
No, I couldn't live without.
It's a moment frozen there in time,
When the reasons all begin to rhyme;
Where love's a little bigger an' you finally start figurin' out,
That's what it's all about.
(Ooh, ooh.)

Instrumental break.

Hey, that's what it's all about.
Hey, this is the life I couldn't live without.
No, I couldn't live without.
It's a moment frozen there in time,
When the reasons all begin to rhyme;
An' the love's a little bigger an' you finally start figurin' out,
That's what it's all about.

(Hey, that's what it's all about.)
Hey!
(Hey, that's what it's all about.)
Hey, that's what it's all, all about.
Oh, the life I couldn't live without.

Hey, that's what it's all, all about.
Hey!
(Ooh, ooh.)

Hey, that's what it's all, all about.

Hey, that's what it's all, all about.
