A Dedicated Thread

[Esmer]

• • "Strange Way"
  
  Didn't I hear you cry this morning
  Didn't I feel you weep
  Teardrops flowing down on Me
  Like rivers in My sleep
  
  In My dream of laughter
  You came creeping with your fears
  Telling Me your sorrow
  In the trace ends of your tears
  
  That's a strange way to tell Me you love Me
  When your sorrow is all I can see
  If you just want to cry to somebody
  • Don't cry to Me, no
    Don't cry to Me, no

• Didn't I hear your voice this morning
  Didn't you call My name
  I heard you whisper softly
  But the words were never plain
  And in your dream of darkness
  I came shining like the sun
  Waiting for the laughter
  But the laughter never comes
  
  That's a strange way to tell Me you love Me
  When your sorrow is all I can see
  If you just want to cry to somebody
  • Don't cry to Me, no
    Don't cry to Me, no
  
  
  Didn't you feel alone this morning
  Didn't you need a friend
  And in your darkest hour
  You came running back again
  
  That's a strange way to tell Me you love Me
  That's a strange way to tell Me you love Me
  That's a strange way to tell Me you love Me

Dedicated to Luci's right cheek:

Big Bottom - Spinal Tap


The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo

Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

I met her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean

My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah

Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

Well I was rollin down the road in some cold blue steel,
I had a blues man in back, and a beautician at the wheel.
We going downtown in the middle of the night
We laughing and Im jokin and we feelin alright.
Oh Im bad, Im nationwide.
Yes Im bad, Im nationwide.

Easin down the highway in a new cadillac,
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back.
They sportin short dresses, wearin spike-heel shoes,
They smokin lucky strikes, and wearing nylons too.
cause we bad, we nationwide.
Yeah we bad, we nationwide.

Well I was movin down the road in my v-8 ford,

With my new york brim and my gold tooth displayed,
Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made.
Im bad, Im nationwide.
Well Im bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, Im nationwide.

for MrsNull...

Waving My Arms In the Air/I've Never Lied To You

Waving my arms in the air got my love, got no care
No care, no, no pressing my feet to the ground
Stand up right where you stand
Call to you, and what do you do?
Laying back in a chair

She's so high on the air She's so high on the air
Half and half, half and half

All you have to do to call, is hold her hand
Stand a while and then smile and we'll understand
Yes we do, yes, yes we do

Oh what a girl I got too, oh what a girl I got too
With a slinky look, she held a tie to her hair
I could see everywhere
No one in the land, no one, No one in the land, no one

It rains on Saturday, cats and dogs in the hay
Stormy day, hey, hey
And you shouldn't try to be what you can't be
You shouldn't try to be what you can't be
Call to you, and what do you do?

There will be shoulder pressing in the hall
And I won't know if you're here at all
There will be wine and drinking in the yard
There won't be anybody very hard
There will be lots of things that we can do
And all and more will be for you
Everything I knew I tried with you
But everything with you was never easy
So I went ahead around my world
I saw the things you do, arriving by your side
To see you looking too, But I never lied to you
It's been just like you're gone
For just one day, for so long
It's been so hard to care when you're not there
But then I think of you, the things youb do
When I'm with you, to be with you

[lucimay]

oh! and here's anOTHER one for ya Bug Man....


Out the door just in time
Head down the 405
Gotta meet the new boss by 8 a.m.
The phone rings in the car
The wife is workin' hard
She's running late tonight again

Well
I know what I've been told,
You got to work to feed the soul
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

You've got your love online
You think you're doing fine
But you're just plugged into the wall

And that deck of tarot cards
Won't get you very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta know just when to fold
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

That's right

You've crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all

I need you here with me
Cause love is all we need
Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall

Well I know what I've been told
Gotta break free to break the mold
But I can't do this all on my own
No I can't do this all on my own
I know that I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

Someday we'll be together
I'm no Superman
Someday
Someday we'll be together
Someday
I'm no Superman


theme song to Scrubs...by Lazlo Bane

[lucimay]

and one for the mESMERizer....


We were born forever
We are twinned in a fugitive mind
Friends should stay together and
Light the world with the fugitive kind
So
you keep talking in many languages
Telling us the way you feel
Don’t stop
confiding in the road you’re on
Don’t quit,
you’re walking satellites
Walking
satellites
She laughs
satellites
A room filled with
satellites
Ahh, walking
satellites

We were born forever
Tunneled into the fugitive night
Friends must stay together
Code the world with the fugitive light
I just saw you walking
Ice was reading fortunes by the moonlight
Casting runes on the rooftops and alleys
You’ll never read it more than you will tonight
So
you keep talking in many languages
Telling us the way you feel
Don’t stop
confiding in the road you’re on
Don’t quit,
you’re walking satellites
Walking
satellites
She laughs
satellites
A room filled with
satellites
Ahh, walking
satellites

my my partner in life and work...mrsnull

Got the Bob Dylan Blues
and the Bob Dylan shoes
and my clothes and my hair's in a mess
but you know, I just couldn't care less.

Gonna write me a song
about what's right and what's wrong
about God and my girl and all that.
Quiet while I make like a cat.

Cos I'm a poet
Doncha know it
And the wind, you can blow it
Cos I'm Mr. Dylan, the King
And I'm free as a bird on the wing.


Roam from town to town
guess I get people down
but I don't care too much about that.
Cos my gut and my wallet are fat.


Make a whole lotta dough
but I deserve it, though
I got soul and a good heart of gold
so I'll sing about war in the cold.


Cos I'm a poet
Doncha know it
And the wind, you can blow it
Cos I'm Mr. Dylan, the King
And I'm free as a bird on the wing.

So I sing about dreams
and I rhyme it with seems
'cause it seems that my dream always means
that I can prophesy all kinds of things.

Well, the guy that digs me
should try hard to see
that he buys all my discs in a hat.
And when I'm in town go see that.

Cos I'm a poet
Doncha know it
And the wind, you can blow it
Cos I'm Mr. Dylan, the King
And I'm free as a bird on the wing.

[lucimay]

if you know how this feels, this song's for YOU.



It's too late
This model's out of date
Got every spare part
But there ain't much heart inside here
Not like the start
I was good at the art of survival
I've always tried
To keep my troubles deep inside
Where I can hide them
now I'm open wide
When it ends
Again I'll see my friends
They'll give me a lift
I've been running adrift, so easy
Shifting the gear
I got nothing to fear from the showdown
I'll go down quiet
And kids downstairs making a hell of a din
I'm all alone
Getting a quote for the wages of sin
Beyond the indigo, indigo
Where the chilly winds, winds will blow
My time is running low
Going to cross the dark dark river
Going to see my good life-giver
Better cover my yellow liver
Alright,
I'm giving up the fight
I didn't know when
I'd be a stranger again
In my own land
The days are O.K.
But oh how I hate those long nights
You understand
Darling please, just hold my hand
You feel so warm
In the eye of the storm
I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away
See you again someday
Darling, I'm going away
Feel like I'm going away, this time I'm going away

[A Gunslinger]

Luci...I love SCRUBS!!!

Here is a song for you and your frustrations with silliness:

Oh what have you done with your life
Oh please don't tell me
Just shut up and go to work
Cause you're interrupting me

I won't represent the U.S.
In the summer olympics
My character's questionable
My life is a broken record

CHORUS:
I'm shredding the document
I'm keeping my mouth shut
I'm running on radio silence
I'm letting the record speak
I'm shredding the document
The switchboard is lighting up
I'm not taking anymore calls
Well maybe from larry King

And I don't know who killed who
I'm having a sex change
To a woman who loves too much
My sister's a petty thief

I doctored the evidence
Yeah it was a cover up
I want to stay wrapped in my blanket
And never get out of bed

CHORUS

All rumor and innuendo
An Eagles reunion
The 20th century's closing
It's closing in on me

You know what my father said
Well I'm not going to tell you
Some words that I try to live by
It's none of your goddamn business

CHORUS

I'm shredding the document
The switchboard is lighting up
I'm not taking anymore calls
Well maybe from Oprah Winfrey

[lucimay]

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, Ive been afraid of changing
cause Ive built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
Im getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
oh the landslide'll bring it
down



for Karen and oldtimesake

[drew]

now all i have to do is lose some of this BUTT WEIGHT and i'll be a happy happy woman!!! LOL!!!

-a Dedicated song:

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tougue
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got makes me feel so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupy
I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!

[lucimay]

[A Gunslinger]

I knew it was just a matter of time before before Sir Mix A Lot made it here.

[lucimay]

here's another one for another old friend...


I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
And the children let out from the schools
I was standing on a noisy corner
Waiting for the walking green
Across the street he stood
And he played real good
On his clarinet, for free.

Now me I play for fortune
And those velvet curtain calls
I've got a black limousine
And two gentlemen
Escorting me to the halls
And I play if you have the money
Or if you're a friend to me
But the one man band
By the quick lunch stand
He was playing real good, for free.

Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never
Been on their T.V.
So they passed his music by
I meant to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony...
I heard his refrain
As the signal changed
He was playing real good, for free.

[lucimay]

here's one for Esmer....for good dreams.



Dream of the Archer
heart


Wayfaring warrior Soul - still wild
The archer stands
Arrow measured to the goal - sing of
Strong and living man
In his mind there is a vision of wand'ring
Through the forest towns
Telling of riches only given if through
The woods the way is found

Cry! Beautiful dancers ...wake up
From your sleep!
Ahhh gentle romancers...drink of Love
So sweet!"

Treasure glowing in their eyes - the forest
Deepens dark their dream
"Keep to the pathway" he advised "for the woods
Are more than they might seem"
"I'd heed you now the apparition's bending never
Ending sounds
CallING you away into her mystery - are your eyes
Not sparkling now?"

Sigh! "Take you no warning -
Make no foolish fight
Ahh, think not of morning - lie here
Through the night!"

"Beauty take us!" they call "In my arms!"
They hear her say
It's the silken web falls - mist illusion rips away
"Help us! Help us!" now they scream
on the path he stands
And awakens, awakens from his dream
singing string beneath his hand

Gentle archer ages old - release the aim
Free the goal
Come on roll your arrow to my Soul - release the aim
Free the goal

[The Laughing Man]

• Your Own Special Way
  
  Go far enough and you will reach,
  A place where the sea runs underneath.
  And we'll see our shadow, high in the sky,
  Drying away in the night.
  
  I've sailed the world for seven years,
  And left all I love behind in tears.
  Won't you come here, wherever you are,
  I've been alone long enough.
  
  You, you have your own special way,
  Of holding my hand keep it way 'bove the water,
  Don't ever let go--Oh no, no, no.
  
  You, you have your own special way,
  Of turning the world so it's facing
  The way, that I'm going, Don't ever
  Don't ever stop.
  
  Whose seen the wind not you or I,
  But when the ship moves she's passing by.
  Between you and me I really don't think,
  She knows where she's going at all.
  
  You, you have your own special way,
  Of carrying me twice round the world
  Never closer to home than the day,
  The day I started.
  
  You, you have your own special way,
  Hold onto my hand keep it way 'bove the water,
  Don't ever let go--no, no, no.
  
  What mean the dreams night after night.
  The man in the moons' a blinding light.
  Won't you come out whoever you are,
  You've followed me quiet long enough.
  
  You, you have your own special way,
  Of holding my hand, Don't ever let go.
  You, you have your own special way,
  Of turning the world so it's facing
  The way that I'm going, Don't ever,
  Don't ever leave me.

Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there, thats where well land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the las vegas sands
It wasnt the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one
That you can wish upon;
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailors

Oh starbright, starbright
Youve got the lovin that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldnt have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But youve got that look so critical
Now I cant talk to you baby
I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up theres a heaven
Down theres a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh starbright, starbright
Youve got the lovin that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldnt hove got on this flight tonight

Im drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Cant numb you out
Cant drum you out of my mind
Theyre playing goodbye baby, baby goodbye,
Ooh, ooh, love is blind
Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope its better when we meet again baby

Starbright, starbright
You got the lovin that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldnt have got on this flight tonight

[Seareach]

For Michael:

Are you swimming upstream in oceans of blue?
Do you feel like you're sinking?
Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through?
Well I know what you're thinking
When you can't take it
You can make it
Sometime soon I know you'll see

'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away and
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on, and be strong

We're taking each step one day at a time
You can't lose your spirit
Let live and let live forget and forgive
It's all how you see it
And just remember keep it together
Don't you know you're never alone

'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on, and be strong

No you're not defeated
And soon you'll be smiling once again
Then you won't have to feel it
Let it go with the wind
Time passes us by
And know that you're allowed to cry

'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong

oh oh
hang on, hang on
be strong
hold on and be strong

[lucimay]

for my girl Georgia Lee Johnson who's singin now for that great rock band in the sky...

Georgia Lee
(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)


Cold was the night, hard was the ground
They found her in a small grove of trees
Lonesome was the place where Georgia was found
She's too young to be out
On the street.

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Lee?

Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia
From dropping out of school
I was doing the best that I could
But she kept runnin away from this world
These children are so hard to raise good

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Lee?

Close your eyes and count to ten
I will got and hid but then
Be sure to find me. I want you to find me
And we'll play all over
We will play all over again

There's a toad in the witch grass
There's a crow in the corn
Wild flowers on a cross by the road
And somewhere a baby is crying
For her mom
As the hills turn from green back
To gold

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Lee?

[lucimay]

this one's for the one that got away...*sigh*


I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
