Well, I've missed my bus I know I'm late I've gotta do something I know, I hate I'm gonna walk to work fifteen blocks I already got a hole in my socks Go ahead and laugh that's okay 'Cause, what I really wanna say I got bad feet my corns hurt To top it off I'm late for work Let me tell you what I say When I'm dealing with the funky sidewalk Let me show you how to walk When I gotta do my funky walk Let me tell you what I say When I'm dealing with the funky sidewalk I say, sugar..."

war eagle 99 0 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 double dutch bus - frankie smith???? I look around See through myself and to the ground For I am empty What I have It’s all I’ve got and is the cause of pain within me Now we leave this place Between the light and the dark there’s a comfortable grey From all I’ve known I’ll have to part ways I won’t go through this, the divorce is too great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triangletiger 1,599 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 "Der Kommissar" (After the Fire) "We've got to move those microwave ovens...custom kitchen delivery..." Money for Nothing - Dire Straits (from the Brothers In Arms album). It's only right that you should play it the way you feel it. But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness, like a heartbeat, drives you mad In the stillness of remembering What you had and what you lost.

ToraGirl 5,498 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Dreams! Stevie Nicks and probably a remake out there...

"By now in New York City, there's snow on the ground And out in California, the sunshine's falling down And, maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight..." Christmas in Dixie - Alabama Here's a newer one, from a group that's been around a long time. Powerful lyrics. Moon shining down through the palms Shadows moving on the sand Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm Dusty rifle in his trembling hands Somebody trying just to stay alive He got promises to keep Over the ocean in america Far away and fast asleep Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by Galaxies unfolding, new worlds being born Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn ..... Music blasting from an suv On a bright and sunny day Rolling down the interstate In the good ol' usa Having lunch at the petroleum club Smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives He said: "gimme 'nother slice o' that barbecued brisket!" "gimme 'nother piece o' that pecan pie!" Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune We're riding to utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon Captains of the old order clinging to the reins Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains Back home I was so certain The path was very clear But now I have to wonder: "What are we doing here?" I'm not counting on tomorrow And I can't tell wrong from right But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight Weaving down the American highway Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda And now we're driving dazed and drunk Been down the road to Damascus, The road to Mandalay Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian Way He said, "It's hard to stop this bingeing, once you get a taste." "but the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste." Behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools .....

Back to high school for me on that one! Still love it...and our coaches were playing it in the gym the other day... I must confess I had to look that one up, but I do remember the song. Yah Mo B There - James Ingram and Michael McDonald Here's a sad one by one of my favorite songwriters: The words had all been spoken And somehow the feeling still wasn't right And still we continued on through the night Tracing our steps from the beginning Until they vanished into the air Trying to understand how our lives had led us there Looking hard into your eyes The was nobody I'd ever known Such an empty surprise to feel so alone Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be Awake again, I can't pretend, and I know I'm alone And close to the end of the feeling we've known How long have I been sleeping How long have I been drifting alone through the night How long have I been dreaming I could make it right If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might To be the one you need Awake again, I can't pretend, and I know I'm alone And close to the end of the feeling we've known How long have I been sleeping How long have I been driftin alone through the night? How long have I been running for that morning flight Through the whispered promises and the changing light Of the bed where we both lie? ........

Workin' too hard can give you a heart attack (ack ack ack ack ack...)..." Yes. Jackson Browne wrote that one and many other great songs. That's a Billy Joel song. I can hear it, but I'm not sure of the title - 'I'm Movin' Out', maybe? Here's an older one: Johnny’s in the basement Mixing up the medicine I’m on the pavement Thinking about the government The man in the trench coat Badge out, laid off Says he’s got a bad cough Wants to get it paid off Look out kid It’s somethin’ you did God knows when But you’re doin’ it again You better duck down the alley way Lookin’ for a new friend The man in the coon-skin cap By the big pen Wants eleven dollar bills You only got ten Maggie comes fleet foot Face full of black soot Talkin’ that the heat put Plants in the bed but The phone’s tapped anyway Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May Orders from the D.A. Look out kid Don’t matter what you did Walk on your tiptoes Don’t try “No-Doz†Better stay away from those That carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose Watch the plain clothes You don’t need a weatherman To know which way the wind blows Get sick, get well Hang around a ink well Ring bell, hard to tell If anything is goin’ to sell Try hard, get barred Get back, write braille Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you fail Look out kid You’re gonna get hit But users, cheaters Six-time losers Hang around the theaters Girl by the whirlpool Lookin’ for a new fool Don’t follow leaders Watch the parkin’ meters Ah get born, keep warm Short pants, romance, learn to dance Get dressed, get blessed Try to be a success Please her, please him, buy gifts Don’t steal, don’t lift Twenty years of schoolin’ And they put you on the day shift Look out kid They keep it all hid Better jump down a manhole Light yourself a candle Don’t wear sandals Try to avoid the scandals Don’t wanna be a bum You better chew gum The pump don’t work ’Cause the vandals took the handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
