Long time, no hear...

[tomchamp]

Headin' up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day week-end show
I've got my hush-puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and roll
And honey I didn't know
That I'd be missin' you so

Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side

Yes, it's been quite a summer
Rent-a-cars and west-bound trains
And now you're off on vacation
Somethin' you tried to explain
And darlin', it's I love you so
That's the reason I just let you go

Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side

I can't help it honey
You're that much a part of me now
Remember that night in Montana
When we said there'd be no room for doubt

I hope you're enjoyin' the scen'ry
I know that it's pretty up there
We can go hikin' on Tuesday
With you I'd walk anywhere
California has worn me quite thin
I just can't wait to see you again

Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side

old doobies...

I'm a man who lives in the city
I'm a man who lives in the street
From F.L.A. to Frisco Bay
And everywhere in between
Coast to coast there's a question
Everybody's always askin' me
People want to know everywhere I go
What can the answer be

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul

Well it seems that when I travel
And I'm out there on the road
The freedom I need is the freedom I leave
In my good time rock and roll

There's a healing in those guitars
And a spirit in the song
No matter what condition your rhythm is in
The message goes on and on

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul

If you ever wonder
How to shake your blues
Just follow this prescription
And get the cure for what's ailin' you

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul

john cougar mellencamp...or is it john cougar...or john mellencamp?

Well I lived on the outskirts of town
In an eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always somethin' doin'
Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
Stopped by to see me every once in a while
When I think back about those days
All I can do is sit and smile

That's when a sport was a sport
And groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' meant everything
We were young and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin' with our friends
Holdin' hands meant somethin', baby
Outside the club Cherry Bomb
Our hearts were really thumpin'
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

The winter days they last forever
But the weekends went by so quick
Went ridin' around this little country town
We were goin' nuts, girl, out in the sticks
One night, me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say do you remember when

That's when a sport was a sport
And groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' meant everything
We were young and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin' with our friends
Holdin' hands meant somethin', baby
Outside the club Cherry Bomb
Our hearts were really thumpin'
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

Seventeen has turned thirty-five
I'm surprised that we're still livin'
If we've done any wrong
I hope that we're forgiven
Got a few kids of my own
And some days I still don't know what to do
I hope that they're not laughing too loud
When they hear me talkin'
Like this to you

That's when a sport was a sport
And groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' meant everything
We were young and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin' with our friends
Holdin' hands meant somethin', baby
Outside the club Cherry Bomb
Our hearts were really thumpin'
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

David Gray...

All of my senses overthrown
by the might of your skin
and the lamplight on your cheek bone
drawing me further in
no sentence I can speak
for the wonder so unique
breaking like a wave upon the shore
mercy me, I'm falling free
since you opened up the door

See how the sky is made of sapphire
the colours flowing through our hands
the moon is fire in your hair
a million miles beyond what science understands
smell that mountain heaven
I don't remember ever
feeling like this before
mercy me, I'm falling free
since you opened up the door

and if every window pane should shatter
if every wall should fall apart
well it might hurt a bit
but would it matter
this diamond in my heart
there's no need to nail it to the ground
there's no need to smother it with sense
just listen to the rhythm of your heart
that pounds and trust it all to chance
'cause we're standing face to face
with the Angel of grace
and don't it just taste so pure

mercy me, I'm falling free
mercy me, I'm falling free
mercy me, I'm falling free
since you opened up the door

More DG...

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you

Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way

Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into some mystery
Deep into that mystery

I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I won't ever have to lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye

Yeah na na na na
Yeah na na na na

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do
It's like my head is filled with lightning girl
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you

Here's my favorite DG song...

From the very first moment I saw you

Thats when I knew

All the dreams I held in my heart

Had suddenly come true

Knock me over stone cold sober

Not a think I could say or do

cos baby when Im walking with you now

My eyes are so wide

Like you reached right into my head

And turned on the light inside

Turning on the light

Inside my mind hey



Come on baby its all right

Sunday monday day or night

Written blue on white its plain to see

That rainy shiny night or day

Whats the difference anyway

Baby till your heart belongs to me



If I had some influence girl

With the powers that be

Id have them fire that arrow at you

Like they fired it right at me

And maybe when your heart and soul are burning

You might see

That everytime Im talking with you

Its always over too soon

That everyday feels so incomplete

Till you walk into the room

Say the word now girl

Ill jump that moon hey



Come on baby its ok

Rainy shiny night or day

Theres nothing in the way now

Dont you see

Winter summer day or night

Centigrade of fahrenheit

Baby till your heart belongs to me

Thursday friday short or long

When you got a love so strong

How can it be wrong now mercy me

Jumpin jesus holy cow!

Whats the difference anyhow

Baby till your heart belongs to me

I know I posted this before, but I heard it tonight and can't get it out of my mind..

Grace Slick and company... *shiver*


If only you believe like I believe, baby
We’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would i
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would i.

I might have to move heaven and earth to prove
It to you, baby
So we’re makin’ love and you feel the power
And I feel the power
Then there’s really nothing that we can’t do
If we wanted to, baby
We could exist on the stars
It’d be so easy
All we gotta do
Is get a little faith in you
Oh, I’ve been (to) so many places
I’ve seen some things
I know, love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Ain’t nothing better
Ain’t nothing better
And all the answers to our prayers
Hell , it’s the same everywheres, baby
Nothing ever breaks up the heart
Only tears give you away
Then you’re right where I found ya
With my arms around ya
Oh baby, baby, baby, love is a magic word, yeah
Few ever find in a lifetime
But from that very first look in your eyes
I knew you and I had but one heart
Only our bodies were apart
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world
When I went down on you, girl.

If only you believe like I believe, baby
We’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would i
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would i.

I can hear windmills and rainbows
Whenever you’re talkin’ to me
I feel like swirling and dancin’
Whenever you’re walking with me
You ripple like a river when I touch you
When I pluck your body like a string
When I start dancin’ inside ya
Oh baby, you make me wanna sing
Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, all right
Baby, we’re sure doin’ it tonight
Everytime you come by, let me try
Pretty, please sugar on it
That’s how I like it
I can’t even believe it, with you
It’s like having every dream I ever wanted
Come true
I picked up your vibes
You know it opened my eyes
But I’m still dreamin’ yeah
And you’re right where I found ya
With my arms around ya.

If only you believe like I believe, baby
We’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would i
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We’d get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would i.

I actually like that song Jazz

 

[jazz lady]

I actually like that song Jazz

It's one of my favorites. Grace Slick in her prime just gets to me.

 

[jazz lady]

k.d. lang...

another one whose voice just does it for me


Are you breathing
What I’m breathing
Are your wishes
The same as mine

Fire you needing
What I’m needing
I’m waiting for a sign

My hands tremble
My heart aches
Is it you calling
If I’m alone in this
I don’t think I can face

The consequences of falling
Are you thinking
What I’m thinking
Does your pulse
Quicken like mine

Are you dreaming
What I’m dreaming
I can’t read your mind
One step towards you
Two steps back
Feels like I’m crawling

If I’m alone in this
I don’t think I can face
The consequences of falling

Must be ladies' night...Joni Mitchell...

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you’re older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him,
Take your time, it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There’ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

amy grant...

So much pain and no good reason why
You’ve cried until the tears run dry
And nothing else can make you understand
The one thing that you held so dear
Is slipping from your hand
And you say

Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say

Somewhere down the road
There’ll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Tho’ we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road

Yesterday I thought I’d seen it all
I thought I’d climbed the highest wall
Now I see the learning never ends
And all I know to do is keep on walking
Walking ’round the bend singing

Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can saysomewhere down the road
There’ll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Tho’ we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road

melissa etheridge...

I came here to let you know
The letting go
Has taken place
I have held the winter’s sun
Become one
Set my pace
Isn’t that what we wanted all along
Freedom like a stone
But I can say goodbye
Now that the passion’s died
Still it comes so slow
The letting go

Piece by piece I take apart
This complicated heart
And I hope to find
Something I can prove is real
I can feel is truth
I can say is mine
That’s all I ever wanted to be
The closer that I got
The further I could see
But when lovers change
And the night feels strange
We choose our road
The letting go

I came here to let you know
The letting go
Has taken place

You Got Me Rocking

By Jagger/Richards

I was a butcher cutting up meat

My hands were bloody I'm dying on my feet

I was a surgeon 'till I start to shake

I was a falling 'till you put on the brake



Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now



I was a pitcher down in a slump

I was a fighter taken for a sucker punch

Feeling bad I guess I lost my spring

I was the boxer who can't get in the ring



Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey there ain't no stopping me

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now



I was a hooker loosing her looks

I was a writer can't write another book

I was all dryed up dying to get wet

I was a tycoon drowning in debt



Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey there ain't no stopping me

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Someone, someone's got me wrong
You thought that your love was strong
Now you're feelin' like such a fool
Poor you
You're thinkin' maybe if you said goodbye
You'll understand the reason why
The love you had felt so cruel, um-hm

Oh, but it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

Sometimes we all feel a need to change
Our love we have to rearrange
And move on to something new, yes you do
Your dreams feel like they're fallin' apart
You need to find a brand new start
But you're almost afraid to be true to yourself

Oh, but it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

Love will find a way
Love will find a way

[Instrumental Interlude]

So now don't, don't be afraid of yourself
Just move on to something else
And let your love shine through
Again yes 'cause it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

Oh, but it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way
