Angel Eyes (The Jeff Healey Band)... Posted: 6/3/2009 12:21:12 AM
Girl, you're looking fine tonight And every guy has got you in his sight What you're doing with a clown like me Is surely one of life's little mysteries CHORUS So tonight I'll ask The stars above "How did I ever win your love?" What did I do, What did I say To turn your angel eyes my way Well I'm the guy never learned to dance Never even got one second glance Across the crowded room was close enough I could look but I could never touch CHORUS So tonight I'll ask The stars above "How did I ever win your love?" What did I do, What did I say To turn your angel eyes my way Don't anyone wake me If it's just a dream Cause she's the best thing Ever happened to me All you fellows You can look all you like But this girl, you see, she leaving here With me tonight SOLO Um, there's just one more thing I need to know If this is love, why does it scare me so? It must be something only you can see Cause girl I feel it when you look at me CHORUS So tonight I'll ask The stars above "How did I ever win your love?" What did I do, What did I say To turn your angel eyes my way So tonight I'll ask The stars above "How did I ever win your love?" What did I do, What did I say To turn your angel eyes my way

Hearing their sweet voices, floating for eternity Escaping the mundaness of modernity Precious moments of serenity In the arms of my lover soon My angel sent from above The one I always think of I haven't had no real good love Since that gal of mine's been gone [Hat tip to Albert King on the final two verses]

we saw the illumination of everything where previously we had seen nothing then we realized the possibilities of anything when we made each others acquaintance but now no mere earthly things can mar what we have as we prepare to soar far above the earth and past the stars in our embracing of one another (I know many do not follow the rules but I pride myself on doing so; ergo my apology in the previous stanza poem posted)

giving you the finger or thumb the way I play guitar to make it strum who needs a pick when flesh on strings makes a much better hum at least to these ears electric or acoustic though I must admit for lack of practice on the electric my lead form has taken quite a hit still decent at chords on the acoustic as I doodle here and there a bit regaining calluses is a bi#ch

some say I'm way too nerdy my poems are way too wordy my eyes can be quite flirty which is not a bad thing cannot think of a second verse normally verbose writing becomes more terse I am sure there are things which could be worse like dying of cancer

Uncle John's Band (The Grateful Dead) Posted: 12/15/2008 8:07:49 AM
From the Workingman's Dead album of 1970. Lyrics by Robert Hunter, Music by Jerry Garcia... Well, the first days are the hardest days, Don't you worry anymore Cause when life looks like Easy Street There is danger at your door Think this through with me Let me know your mind Wo-oah, what I want to know Is are you kind? It's a Buck Dancer's Choice, my friend, Better take my advice You know all the rules by now And the fire from the ice Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? Wo-oah, what I want to know, Will you come with me? Goddamn, well I declare Have you seen the like? Their walls are built of cannonballs, Their motto is Don't Tread on Me Come hear Uncle John's Band By the riverside Come with me or go alone He's come to take his children home [Acoustic guitar solo] It's the same story the crow told me It's the only one he know - Like the morning sun you come And like the wind you go Ain't no time to hate, Barely time to wait Wo-oah, what I want to know, Where does the time go? I live in a silver mine And I call it Beggar's Tomb I got me a violin And I beg you call the tune Anybody's choice I can hear your voice Wo-oah what I want to know, How does the song go? Come hear Uncle John's Band By the riverside Got some things to talk about Here beside the rising tide Come hear Uncle John's Band Playing to the tide Come on along or go alone He's come to take his children home [Musical interlude] Wo-oah what I want to know, How does the song go? Come hear Uncle John's Band By the riverside Got some things to talk about Here beside the rising tide Come hear Uncle John's Band Playing to the tide Come on along or go alone He's come to take his children home

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (The Beatles) Posted: 12/13/2008 10:45:57 PM
Written by George Harrison with Eric Clapton on lead guitar... I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps [Lead guitar] I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps [Lead guitar] I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold you love I don't know how someone controlled you they bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps [Lead guitar] With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps [Guitar solo] I don't know how you were diverted you were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted no one alerted you I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps [Lead guitar] I look at you all Still my guitar gently weeps [Guitar outro solo for the duration of the song] Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Star Wars The Saga Begins (Weird Al Yankovic) Posted: 12/10/2008 10:24:44 AM
...sung to the tune of Don Mclean's 1972 hit American Pie. Without further ado... A long long time ago In a galaxy far away Naboo was under an attack And I thought me and Qui Gon Jin Could talk the federation into maybe cutting them a little Slack But their response, it didn't thrill us They locked the doors and tried to kill us We escaped from that gas And met Jar Jar in Bosnas We took a bongo from the scene And went to Theed to see the Queen We all wound up on Tatooine That's where we found this boy Oh my, my this here Annakin guy Maybe Vader someday later Now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mummy goodbye Saying "Soon, I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi." Did you know this junkyard slave Isn't even old enough to shave? But he can use the force they say Ah, do you see him hitting on the Queen? Though he's just nine And she's fourteen Yeah, he's probably going to marry her some day Well I know he built C3PO And I've heard how fast his pod can go And we were broke, it's true So we made a wager or two He was a pre-pubescent flying ace And the minute Jabba started off that race Well, I knew who would win first place Oh yes, it was our boy We started singing: My, my this here Annakin guy Maybe Vader someday later Now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mummy goodbye Saying "Soon, I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi." Now we finally got to Coruscant The Jedi council we knew would want To see how good the boy could be So we took him there and we told the tale How his midichloreans readings were off the scale And he might fulfill that prophesy Oh the council was impressed of course 'Could he bring balance to the force? They interviewed the kid Oh training they forbid Because Yoda sensed in him much fear And Quigon said "Now listen here Just stick it in your pointy ear I still will teach this boy He was singing: My, my this here Annakin guy Maybe Vader someday later Now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mummy goodbye Saying "Soon, I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi." We caught a ride back to Naboo 'Cause Queen Amadala wanted to I frankly would have liked to stay We all fought in that epic war And it wasn't long at all before Little hotshot flew his plane And saved the day And in the end some gunguns died Some ships blew up And some pilots fried A lot of folks were croakin' The battle droids were broken And the Jedi I admire most Met up with Darth Maul And now he's toast I'm still here and he's a ghost I guess I'll train this boy And I was singin': My, my this here Annakin guy Maybe Vader someday later Now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mummy goodbye Saying "Soon, I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi." We were singing: My, my this here Annakin guy Maybe Vader someday later Now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mummy goodbye Saying "Soon, I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."

Two Outta Three Ain't Bad (Meatloaf) Posted: 12/9/2008 10:38:00 PM
Written by Jim Steinman and from the classic album Bat Outta Hell circa 1978... Baby we can talk all night But that aint getting us nowhere I told you everything I possibly can Theres nothing left inside of here And maybe you can cry all night But thatll never change the way that I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldnt make me leave here I poured it on and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much I care Im tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout But youve been cold to me so long Im crying icicles instead of tears And all I can do is keep on telling you I want you (I want you) I need you (I need you) But -- there aint no way Im ever gonna love you Now dont be sad (Don't be sad no) Cause two out of three aint bad Now dont be sad Cause two out of three aint bad Youll never find your gold on a sandy beach Youll never drill for oil on a city street I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But there aint no coupe de ville Hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box I cant lie I cant tell you that Im something Im not No matter how I try Ill never be able To give you something Something that I just havent got Theres only one girl that I will ever love And that was so many years ago And though I know Ill never get her out of my heart She never loved me back Ooh I know Well I remember how she left me on a stormy night How she kissed me and got out of our bed And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door She packed her bags and turned right away And she kept on telling me She kept on telling me She kept on telling me I want you (I want you) I need you (I need you) But -- there aint no way Im ever gonna love you Now dont be sad (Don't be sad no) Cause two out of three aint bad Now dont be sad Cause two out of three aint bad I want you (I want you) I need you (I need you) But -- there aint no way Im ever gonna love you Now dont be sad (Don't be sad no) Cause two out of three aint bad Now dont be sad Cause two out of three aint bad Baby we can talk all night But that aint getting us nowhere

Fooled Around and Fell In Love (Elvin Bishop) Posted: 12/9/2008 10:31:48 PM
...who incidentally shares the same birthday as yours truly. Elvin played the bluesy lead guitar on this track including a two chorus solo but it was sung by someone else -Micky Thomas if memory serves (and it will have to). Without further ado... I must have been through about a million girls I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone I didn't care how much they cried, no sir Their tears left me cold as a stone But then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked I'd get out my book and write down her name But when the grass got a little greener over on the other side I'd just tear out that page But then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love [Guitar solo] Free, on my own that's the way I used to be Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me I fooled around and fell in love It's got a hold on me now, I can't let go of you baby I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, I can't stop lovin' you now Fooled around, fooled around, fell in love Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, Fooled around, fooled around, fell in love I fooled around, fell in love I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did

the blanket we shared with the peace in our minds thinking back the memory unwinds recalling the times and the tie that binds us to one another for however it has been frayed and rent asunder or whatever our misperceptions and blunders our inability to say goodbye due to situations we were under i guess it never hurts to hurt sometimes

I Guess It Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes (The Oak Ridge Boys) Posted: 12/8/2008 10:03:41 PM
[Lead break] Sometimes I feel a wave Of a past break in my mind And I know it's gone for good And it makes me want to cry Is this all we get to keep As the years go rollin' by Just a memory For all the days gone by. Oh you're always in my heart And you're often on my mind I will never let it die Just as long as I'm alive Sometimes it makes me sad That we never said goodbye Well I guess it never hurts To hurt sometimes. [Lead break] You try and hold on to the moment But time won't let you stay But for every step you take You lose something on the way You can't look forward to tomorrow And still hold on to yesterday Oh I hope that you can hear me When I'm saying Oh you're always in my heart And you're often on my mind I will never let it die Just as long as I'm alive Sometimes it makes me sad That we never said goodbye Well I guess it never hurts To hurt sometimes. Oh you're always in my heart And you're often on my mind I will never let it die Just as long as I'm alive Sometimes it makes me sad That we never said goodbye Well I guess it never hurts To hurt sometimes. No I guess it never hurts To hurt sometimes. [Lead break]

A Day in the Life (The Beatles) Posted: 11/30/2008 10:19:17 PM
Written by John Lennon with two verses from Paul McCartney (the less poetic and more mundane ones of course). Nonetheless... I read a news today, oh boy, About a lucky man who made a grade, And though the news was rather sad, Well, I just had to laugh. I saw the photograph. He blew his mind out in a car, He didn't notice that the lights have changed, A crowd of people stood and stared, They've seen his face before, Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords. I saw a film today, oh boy, The English army had just won the war, A crowd of people turned away, But I just had a look, Having read a book, I'd like to turn you on... Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged a comb across my head, Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, And looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my head, Made the bus in second flat, Found my way upstairs and had a smoke, And somebody spoke and I went into a dream I heard a news today, oh boy, Four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire, And though the holes were rather small, They had to count them all, Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall, I'd love to turn you on.

Killing Floor (Howlin' Wolf) Posted: 11/30/2008 1:14:46 PM
On the GnR new album, I have heard very little thus far but after seventeen years and constant delays, it had better be good. (So far I have read one reviewer giving it four stars out of five which is promising.) On the lyric front, Grizzerman's posting of some of Led Zep reminded me of one of the songs they "borrowed" from on their first albums; namely Howlin' Wolf's song Killing Floor which was more than a little borrowed from on Lemon Song of which Grizzerman posted the lyrics of.[1] Wolf's tune was recorded in 1963 and covered by Albert King (1968's Years Gone By album) and Jimi Hendrix (who played it at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 which was a recorded concert). Without further ado... I should'a quit you, long time ago I should'a quit you, baby, long time ago I should'a quit you, And went on to Mexico If I ha'da followed, my first mind If I ha'da followed, my first mind I'd'a been gone, Since my second time [Guitar solo] I should'a went on, when my friend come from Mexico at me I should'a went on, when my friend come from Mexico at me I was foolin' with ya baby, I let ya put me on the killin' floor Lord knows, I should'a been gone Lord knows, I should'a been gone And I wouldn't've been here, Down on the killin' floor Note: [1] Interestingly enough, Wolf actually was going to have Led Zep sued for copyright infringement until Wolf got credit on Lemon Song under his real last name "Burnett" for the words they used of his. Unlike most black blues musicians who for various reasons (including at times illiteracy) were screwed out of royalties for their songs at one time or another, Wolf was fortunately business savvy and on top of his publishing stuff.

put where the sun does not shine it hardly takes an einstein or various chakras to align to know what that means why I am writing this I do not know could be a whim perhaps although I think I may go have some bordeaux red over white whenever possible
